Chapter 56: The Purple Component [Brainwave Remote Control System]
Chapter 56: The Purple Component [Brainwave Remote Control System]
Song Chi paid no attention to the reactions of the various alien races. His gaze remained fixed on the one-armed alien's hand.
Soon, he obtained the attributes of the purple star sea curiosity.
Curiosity: Brain Eater Ultrasonic Main Brain
Quality: Purple
Evolvable: [Brainwave Remote Control System]
Note: The brain of a high-ranking star sea creature evolved over a long period, eventually forming this purple curiosity. Its function is somewhat unique.
After reading these attributes, Song Chi was still unsatisfied. He needed to see the specific effects of the curiosity once it was converted into a ship component to determine if it was suitable for him.
Of course, regardless of its suitability, he intended to acquire this purple-level curiosity. This was a given.
Even if it wasn't suitable for him, he could always list it for sale on the Ember Network. A purple-level ship component would undoubtedly attract the interest of many ember ship captains.
After organizing his thoughts, Song Chi tentatively spoke up:
"Vendor, I need to examine this curiosity personally to determine if it is suitable for me. Is that possible?"
The one-armed alien looked wary. Having only recently entered the market, it had seen the various rules at the entrance but had not witnessed the consequences for those who violated the trading rules. Remaining cautious was its natural instinct.
At this moment, the surrounding aliens were of great help. Some of them said:
"Don't worry. If you're concerned that this merfolk might tamper with it, you can request the market space's Law Will to act as a witness. Under the Law Will, no one dares to have ulterior motives."
Hearing this, the one-armed alien tentatively summoned the so-called "Law Will" of the market space.
Seeing this, Song Chi maintained a calm expression while subtly channeling the market space's secret realm power. A translucent golden dragon materialized above the trading stall.
Instantly, a vast aura of law enveloped the entire market space.
Seeing this, the one-armed alien finally relaxed.
This overwhelming aura reassured it completely. If there were truly a creature in the market space capable of wielding such terrifying power, it wouldn't need to resort to deception. If it truly wanted to, it could easily take the purple curiosity from the one-armed alien.
With the alien's agreement, Song Chi reached out and took the curiosity. Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding aliens, he carefully used his cloak hood to conceal it.
He had used the market's law power to transform himself into a merfolk, and he couldn't risk exposing his ember ancestor node, dark energy, or any other secrets. The star sea was vast, but one had to be cautious. Therefore, every time he entered the market, he concealed his identity.
Once he was sure that no one could see beneath his hood, he gently placed it over his brow and triggered the ember seed in his ancestor node. Soon, tendrils of dark energy emerged from the ember ancestor node, enveloping the purple curiosity.
With the assistance of the ember seed, Song Chi quickly obtained the specific attributes of the curiosity once it was converted into a ship component.
Brainwave Remote Control System lv0
Quality: Purple
Consumption: 10/second (when activated)
Trait: When the ship owner is marked with a brainwave beacon, they can remotely control the ember ship.
Effect: Activating the component allows the creation of a brainwave beacon. Any creature or mechanical construct marked with the brainwave beacon can be remotely controlled.
Control Distance: 10 light-seconds
Duration: 40 minutes; Cooldown: 6 hours
Upgrade Requirements: 10 strands of Floating Land Essence (Zero-level), 500 dark energy points, 10 kg of soul crystals
After reading the attributes, Song Chi expressionlessly handed the curiosity back to the one-armed alien. Though his face showed no emotion, his heart was already ablaze with excitement.
From the description on its attribute panel, it's clear that this is a special ship component with remote control capabilities once activated.
To Song Chi, this feature is incredibly valuable.
First, it can be used on the Firethorn Soldier Puppets. The biggest drawback of all puppet components is that they cannot stray too far from the Firethorn Captain. Being puppets, they lack their own consciousness and can only passively follow the captain's commands. Once they move too far from their captain, they lose their ability to act, which can be a significant limitation in many situations.
For example, when exploring unknown areas, the Firethorn Captain can be caught off guard by sudden dangers because the puppets cannot operate independently. Additionally, they can't be sent to complete special tasks alone.
With the brainwave remote control system, all Song Chi needs to do is implant a brainwave beacon in the puppets, allowing him to control them in real-time from anywhere. This eliminates the previous limitations.
Moreover, by implanting a brainwave beacon in himself, he can remotely control his flagship. This feature seems perfect for creating an alibi.
Song Chi has another idea as well. He wonders if the brainwave remote control system can work with the Marketplace of All Realms. Specifically, he could leave a Firethorn Soldier Puppet outside the marketplace before entering, allowing him to monitor the external environment in real-time.
If this works, it would greatly enhance his ability to use the Marketplace of All Realms to avoid various dangers. Previously, once he entered the marketplace, he had no way of knowing what was happening outside, making it difficult to determine the right time to exit.
Exiting too early might mean the danger hasn't fully passed.
But waiting too long risks missing the return of the Celestial Vessel, which is very frustrating.
If the Brainwave Remote Control System can indeed achieve this, his future trips in and out of the marketplace will be much smoother.
However, Song Chi isn't very confident. While purple-quality oddities are rare, the Marketplace of All Realms exists in the dark side of the star sea, within the void of space. For the brainwave remote control system to penetrate the vast, endless void and connect to the outside world seems highly unlikely.
Nevertheless, even if the chances are slim, the brainwave remote control system itself is so useful that Song Chi must acquire it.
Perhaps the zero-stage alien traders didn't have many valuable items, but after more than ten minutes, nothing had appeared that satisfied the one-armed alien.
Seeing this, Song Chi took out several items from his large backpack.
An advanced exoskeleton, a first-stage combat robot, and three energy grenades capable of threatening first-stage beings.
After retrieving these items, he explained their effects one by one.
"An advanced exoskeleton armor. Once equipped with a battery, it significantly enhances strength, speed, and resistance to damage. Even against first-stage beings, this armor performs exceptionally well."
"A first-stage combat robot. Similarly, once powered by a battery, it can engage in direct combat with first-stage beings."
"Three energy grenades. If used at the right moment, these can severely wound first-stage beings."
