Chapter 64: New Feature of the 1st Tier Market - Spatial Anchor Point
Whew!
Suppressing his excitement and joy, Song Chi continued to inspect the other changes in the market.
As always, he started with the basic configurations. After experiencing the new features of the inn, his attention shifted to the all-attribute training room and the ultra-long-range spatial gate random deployment platform.
Similar to the previous dark energy defense array, even though the levels remained at LV9, the effects of these two configurations had each improved to some extent.
Originally, the LV9 all-attribute training room provided a 580% boost to dark energy cultivation, but now it had increased to 700%, far surpassing other dark energy cultivation platforms of the same level.
The ultra-long-range spatial gate random deployment platform, on the other hand, saw no changes in its duration or cooldown time, but the number of spatial gates it could deploy increased from 19 to 23.
Don't underestimate this increase of just 4 gates. This was still a LV9 deployment platform, and Song Chi planned to further enhance it.
To upgrade both the LV9 all-attribute training room and the ultra-long-range spatial gate random deployment platform, the conditions were the same: the market itself needed to reach LV10, and 150 strands of zero-stage Floating Land Essence were required.
Taking out 300 strands of zero-stage Floating Land Essence, Song Chi sequentially upgraded both to LV10.
Name: All-Attribute Training Room
Level: LV10
Effect: When a 1st stage creature trains in the room, their cultivation speed increases by 480%. If the cultivation involves dark energy, the speed increases by 960%.
...
Upgrade Requirements: Market Level LV11, 25 strands of 1st stage Floating Land Essence
---
Name: Ultra-Long-Range Spatial Gate Random Deployment Platform
Level: LV10
Effect: When activated, it randomly deploys 36 spatial gates in the Shattered Star Sea, allowing entry and exit to the market. Each spatial gate lasts for 24 hours, with a cooldown time of 720 hours.
...
Upgrade Requirements: Market Level LV11, 25 strands of 1st stage Floating Land Essence
The all-attribute training room now provided a staggering 960% boost to dark energy cultivation, while the ultra-long-range spatial gate random deployment platform could now deploy 36 spatial gates.
Seeing these improvements, Song Chi finally closed the attribute panel in front of him, his gaze moving down to the newly appeared "Special Feature."
The additional configuration section was still empty, with only two more slots added.
Song Chi had tested these additional configuration slots before and found that they could accommodate all special components compatible with the Ember Fleet ships. However, he currently didn't have any extras.
Additionally, because of the "Avoid Evil" feature, he hadn't considered loading any special components. After the Void Demon incident, he now needed to search for components that could clear negative statuses and hide the market's abnormalities.
His gaze lingered on the new "Spatial Anchor Point" feature, and its detailed attributes soon appeared before him.
Feature {Spatial Anchor Point}: Designate a specific coordinate in the real star sea as the anchor point for the All-Heaven Market. Once this anchor point is activated, regardless of where the market controller enters the market from, they will always exit at the designated anchor point.
Song Chi's eyes sparkled again. The effect of the Spatial Anchor Point feature was simple: it provided an accurate teleportation coordinate for the All-Heaven Market. Once this coordinate was activated, no matter where you entered the market from, you could always use this coordinate to leave.
Perhaps it’s still difficult to understand, so let’s use a simple example.
If Song Chi sets a spatial anchor point in his bedroom, he can activate this anchor point even when he’s in a distant star domain. This would allow him to return directly to his bedroom after leaving the marketplace, without having to use the teleportation function of his ghost energy flyer.
After fully understanding the characteristics of the spatial anchor, the first thing that came to Song Chi’s mind wasn’t using it for interstellar travel but for facilitating his sales.
Each time he returned from a distant star domain, his haul far exceeded that of ordinary people. However, to avoid exposing the marketplace, he had to sell most of his resources on the black market for only 65% of the market price, losing nearly half of their value. This had always been a source of frustration for Song Chi. Why should he let others take a 35% cut of the resources he had worked so hard to bring back?
In contrast, if he sold the resources through legitimate shops, he could easily get 90% of the market price, which would be much more profitable.
However, this approach came with the risk of exposing his identity.
Due to this limitation, he had no choice but to use the black market.
But now, with the new feature of spatial anchors, he could set the anchor point in his bedroom, solving all his problems at once.
He could disguise his identity, sell his resources to legitimate shops, and then enter the marketplace with the proceeds from a secluded location. From there, he could use the spatial anchor to return directly to his home. Even if someone were to follow him, they would have no way of tracing him.
The more Song Chi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He had recently accumulated a batch of resources with a price difference from the last marketplace transaction, which he could use for testing. If it worked, he could also sell the over a thousand Void Crystals in his possession without leaving a trace.
Thinking about the Floatland Essence he could acquire by selling the Void Crystals, Song Chi even imagined the moment when he would upgrade the "Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator" component to the second stage. The thought was exhilarating.
Even at its current level 15, the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator component already had impressive attributes. Once upgraded to the second stage, it would be even more formidable.
Deciding to act, Song Chi quickly scanned the marketplace’s attribute panel, pausing briefly on the upgrade requirements.
To upgrade the marketplace from level 10 to level 11, he needed 50 strands of first-stage Floatland Essence, which he could easily obtain by selling the Void Crystals. The real challenge was the 100,000 strands of zero-stage Floatland Essence in trade volume.
Since bartering didn’t count, his previous three transactions had only reached a total trade volume of less than 90,000 strands. He would need to wait until the next marketplace transaction to meet this requirement.
Song Chi wasn’t in a hurry. His current priority was to find a special component to clear negative statuses and to sell the resources and Void Crystals in his possession as quickly as possible.
There would be plenty of time to upgrade the marketplace’s level in the future, but if he didn’t solve the "Demon Mark" problem soon, the future of the marketplace would be uncertain.
