Chapter 63: The New Feature of the First-Rank Marketplace: The Inn
Chapter 63: The New Feature of the First-Rank Marketplace: The Inn
Although anxious, Song Chi quickly shifted his focus to the changes in the Marketplace of Ten Thousand Realms, which he was incredibly curious about after its advancement.
Previously, he had only glanced at the changes due to his concern about the demonic mark. Even so, he clearly remembered that a new attribute had appeared on the Marketplace's status panel, which was enough to make anyone eager to explore.
He opened the Marketplace's status panel again and began to carefully examine the changes.
His gaze skipped over the first three categories and landed on the "specifications" section.
After advancing to the first rank, the Marketplace of Ten Thousand Realms had expanded to a 1000m x 1000m area. The number of shops had increased to 50, and the flea market area had expanded to 200m x 200m. Even the inn, which had previously seemed useless, had grown from one floor to two. These were all excellent developments.
The expansion of the Marketplace not only meant that more beings could participate in future transactions but also increased the storage capacity of Song Chi's super-private storage space. This would allow him to store even more resources in the future.
To this end, Song Chi used the power of the Law to create a 20m x 20m enclosed area within the flea market.
This enclosed space would serve as a dedicated storage area for the floating land mining vehicles and the various resources he collected. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about where to store the mining vehicles and the resources he gathered every time he opened the Marketplace.
The area was large enough to store a significant amount of items and could even accommodate the Skies, his advanced psychic airship, when it was empty.
Near the flea market area, in the center of the Marketplace, stood a two-story inn. Song Chi had explored this building multiple times before, but he had never discovered any significant functions beyond the slight acceleration of mental recovery in each room.
This time, Song Chi entered the inn again, not because of the additional rooms that had appeared after the Marketplace's advancement, but because he noticed something peculiar. The 51 rooms in the inn were not evenly distributed between the two floors.
The first floor had 50 rooms, while the second floor had only one. This discovery left him puzzled.
After checking the 50 rooms on the first floor, which were no different from before, he stepped up to the second floor.
As soon as he arrived, Song Chi made an unexpected discovery.
The second floor of the inn was not limited to just one room. Looking down the corridor, he could clearly see ten identical doors, indicating that there were actually 10 rooms on this floor.
However, only one of these rooms was currently accessible, while the other nine were blocked by some mysterious force, preventing even the Marketplace's owner from entering.
His mind raced with various speculations, and he concluded that the other nine rooms would likely become accessible after further upgrades to the Marketplace.
As for whether these rooms had different functions from those on the first floor, he would have to experience them firsthand to find out.
With that thought, he pushed open the door to the only accessible room on the second floor. As soon as he stepped inside, a strange realization washed over him.
This second-floor room was entirely different from those on the first floor!
He couldn't pinpoint where this feeling came from, but after a moment of hesitation, his attention was drawn to a bronze token floating in the center of the room.
The secret rules of the Multiverse Marketplace that Song Chi controlled did not issue any danger warnings, so he confidently reached out to grab the bronze token.
The moment his hand touched the token, all the information about it instantly appeared in his mind, along with details about the guest room he was standing in.
[Name: Marketplace Guest Token]
[Owner: Multiverse Marketplace (Song Chi)]
[Uses Remaining: 1/1]
[Effect: Any creature possessing this Guest Token can, regardless of their location in the Shattered Star Sea, consume one use to activate the token. Upon activation, the token will teleport the user to a dedicated "Guest Room" and grant them a 24-hour stay. After the time expires or the user chooses to leave, both the user and the token will be teleported back to their original location before entering the Marketplace.]
[Description: A product of the Multiverse Marketplace, with incredible abilities.]
[Note: Only the owner of the Multiverse Marketplace can replenish the uses of the token.]
[Note 2: The owner of the Multiverse Marketplace reserves the right to revoke the token at any time.]
"Marketplace Guest Token..."
Murmuring softly, Song Chi's eyes sparkled, and his heart raced.
From the information on the attribute panel, the actual value of the Marketplace Guest Token would far exceed expectations. It allowed other creatures to enter the Multiverse Marketplace multiple times, rather than relying on the unpredictable luck of random encounters. This alone would make any creature who had experienced the convenience and value of the Marketplace eager to obtain it.
Similarly, as the owner of the Marketplace, Song Chi could use it to gain even greater benefits.
For example, if he had had this token a month ago, he could have given it to "Gor" before the second Marketplace transaction ended, allowing Gor to enter the Marketplace again and collect more deepwater pearl clams, even those of a thousand years or more, or the rare "Mermaid's Tears."
Thinking of this, Song Chi sighed softly. The Marketplace Guest Token had arrived too late.
Water-based floating lands in the star sea were not common, and it was uncertain when he would encounter another such land and its inhabitants capable of consistently producing deepwater pearl clams.
However, it wasn't necessary to limit it to water-based floating lands.
The star sea was vast, and there were many floating lands with even rarer resources. Any alien species that could provide a consistently valuable resource could also be considered for receiving the Marketplace Guest Token.
Suppressing his excitement, Song Chi left the inn. The distribution of the Marketplace Guest Token would be extremely strict and couldn't be done quickly.
Of course, he wouldn't distribute it carelessly. Currently, there were only ten "Guest Rooms" on the second floor of the inn, meaning there could be at most ten Marketplace Guest Tokens. Each one had to be distributed with great caution.
As for the purpose of the Guest Rooms, besides nurturing the Marketplace Guest Tokens, they would serve as the only spatial nodes for future token holders to enter and exit the Marketplace.
In other words, they were transfer stations.
