National Star Sea Era Chapter 331

Chapter 331 [Silver Apple Mother Tree] The key to promotion

With one Space Law Fruit and two Primary Space Law Crystals, Song Chi's speed of comprehending the Law at this moment is countless times faster than it was in the Dragon's Back Secret Realm.

In just two days, his Law Awareness increased from 0.36% to 0.42%. This Law Awareness, among all the cruise captains with divine minds in the entire Xinhuo human civilization, has actually been ranked in the middle and upper reaches. .

Although this ranking is not very high, the point is that it has only been more than ten years since Song Chi broke through the third level of Guidance Technique and controlled the mind and state of mind, but it is already comparable to that of someone who has understood the laws for hundreds of years. , even a two-hundred-year-old cruiser captain.

 So sorting is far from the point. The key is that Song Chi still controls a lot of time, and there are endless possibilities in the future.

In addition, don't forget that what he comprehends is the law of space, which is very different from the ordinary law of the star sea.

With his thoughts flowing, the laws of space quickly condensed around him, and soon a mini illusory dragon whale appeared.

Song Chi is familiar with his own soaring power of space laws.

At the same time, in the depths of his mind, Song Chi was also carefully sensing his own law assimilation. This third law fruit once again greatly improved his assimilation with the Star Sea Law. It is estimated that in about four years, he will be able to Can completely complete the assimilation.

“When all the remaining two [Space Law Fruits] are used, the assimilation of the Star Sea Law should be completely completed..."

As he muttered, Song Chi sighed instinctively in his heart.

Speaking of the remaining two [Space Law Fruits], he thought of the specific effect of the third [Space Law Fruit], which only increased his law awareness by 0.06%.

And I remember that the perception level increased by the first two [Law Fruits] were 0.1% and 0.08% respectively. Calculated in this way, maybe using two or three more [Law Fruits] will reach the top, and then the [Space Law Fruit] will reach the top. ] will have no effect on him.

 This is obviously not good news.

 After sighing softly, Song Chi quickly turned around and no longer worried about gains and losses.

Calculating carefully, this [Space Law Fruit] has successively increased my perception by 0.24%. Counting how many more can be used in the future, this value should stay at around 0.3% in the end.

 Not counting the blessing of the Dragon Spine Secret Realm, in normal terms, a 0.3% understanding of space laws requires at least 90 years of continuous understanding.

In other words, this [Space Law Fruit] has silently saved Song Chi nearly a hundred years of time. Calculated based on the subsequent 15 times the amplitude, it is 4.5% of the space law perception. In this way, what is there to be dissatisfied with? Woolen cloth?

After thinking about this, Song Chi quickly returned to his normal state of mind, but he was not in a hurry to use the two [Space Law Fruits] left in his hand. He had to adapt to the skyrocketing Space Law.

 In a blink of an eye, it was already two months later.

In his personal manor in Tianchong Valley, Song Chi's mind had just recovered from the powerful effect of the fourth [Space Law Fruit].

This fourth [Space Law Fruit] only increased his perception by 0.04%, but it also increased his Space Law to 0.46%.

Just when Song Chi was happy, a beeping message suddenly came from the quantum communication bracelet in his hand.

  Turning around to look, he raised his eyebrows when he saw that it was Wang Zhen who sent the message.

“Wang Zhen...could it be that something unexpected happened during the sale of war supplies?”

A month ago, Song Chi purchased a large amount of supplies from Goblin Luke and the All-Heaven Market and handed them all directly to Wang Zhen the next day. As a Xinhuo Captain who had been in Morning Star Yanglu for hundreds of years, Wang Zhen naturally It has its own special channels.

Especially after his ship was promoted to a chaser, and with the backing of the "Howling Wolf and Tiger Roar", his personal identity and related channels have been further improved. In the past month, he has made a lot of money for Song Chi by selling war materials. The origin of Shaofulu.

If there were any problems with the war material sales channel, Song Chi would definitely not be able to accept it.

"What's wrong?"

The other person is also holding a quantum communication bracelet, which Song Chi specially applied to the family. It allows the two of them to communicate remotely at will without worrying about information leakage.

As for the Xinhuo Network, although it is more convenient and more powerful, some people with special permissions can peek at the screen from a distance, which cannot guarantee the absolute confidentiality of information.

A reply came quickly from Wang Zhen, but it gave Song Chi a false alarm.

"It's nothing big. The main thing is that I got a piece of news about the Morning Star Black Market. There will be a large-scale auction in the black market in three days. I would like to ask if His Highness is interested!"

Hearing this reply, Song Chi subconsciously refused.

But after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.

 As the largest black market in the Principality of Morning Star, he had long heard that the scale of the Morning Star black market was huge and the amount of resources it handled every day was extraordinary.

 As it is a large-scale auction, there is a high probability that there will be many good things.

Based on this, he agreed.

The configurations on the Cangqiong are indeed luxurious, but they are not all available. For example, parts such as the Terracotta Warriors Tree are still loaded with the [Fire Sunflower Terracotta Warriors Tree]. You might as well go and take a look, maybe I can come across the parts that the Sky needs now.

Three days later, with the help of the "ever-changing" and "mirage" properties of the [Mirage Dragon Wanhua Pearl] components, the Cangqiong quietly left the Tianchong Valley.

After successfully rendezvousing with the Howling Wolf and Tiger, the two warships rushed to the entrance of the Morning Star Black Market together.

After all, it is a black market. Although there are many things involved, it cannot be opened so blatantly in Holy Star City.

 The entrance to the Morning Star Black Market is located more than 0.5 light years away from Holy Star City on the surface.

 After a space jump, the two battleships arrived at their destination.

“This is... the entrance to the secret realm?”

Looking at the familiar space vortex passage in the distance, Song Chi's eyes were filled with surprise.

 He had only heard of the Morning Star Black Market before, but didn't really know much about it.

Now it seems that this black market is indeed quite powerful, and it actually uses a secret realm of the sea of ​​​​stars as a black market trading place.

In the communication group chat, Wang Zhen respectfully replied:

“Yes, it's just the lowest level of Broken Secret Realm, and the original environment has been completely destroyed!”

At the entrance to the black market, black market compliance officers stopped two warships.

Of course, it was not to check the identities of the Sky and the Howling Wolf, but to inform them that after entering the black market, their personal ships must be recovered. This is a rule of the black market.

Song Chi and the two didn't pay too much attention. The two warships quickly submerged into the space vortex channel in front of them.

As Wang Zhen said, this secret realm that serves as a black market trading place is indeed just the lowest level of broken secret realm. He does not know what he has experienced. The floating land fragments in the original secret realm were almost completely destroyed and were horribly destroyed. shattered by the mighty power.

The trading place in the secret realm now is the kind of aerial mechanical platform that has been artificially spliced ​​together.

The Howling Wolf and the Cangqiong, which was renamed the Baiyun after its "ever-changing" characteristics, hovered in the designated battleship docking area on the platform, and were quickly taken back to their Xinhuo Ancestral Apertures.

 Song Chi, who was wearing a bionic skin mask, began to wander around the entire trading platform under the leadership of Wang Zhen.

Although it is spliced ​​together manually, the trading platform underfoot is still very large. At a glance, it can be seen that the number of Xinhuo Captains accommodated on it will not be less than five figures.

 The large number of customers has in turn created the bustling black market today.

 Following Wang Zhen through various shops and stalls, Song Chi saw a variety of items.

The largest number of them are the various war supplies that are extremely popular today, and the other are shipboard components of various qualities.

However, although there were many things, they were basically ordinary things. Song Chi visited dozens or hundreds of shops along the way, but he didn't see anything that caught his attention.

Seemingly sensing his waning interest, Wang Zhen beside him explained:

"These are ordinary goods. If you really want some top-quality goods, you have to wait for the subsequent black market auctions, or you have to try your luck at a "red store" like that."

 “Red shop?”

Song Chi was confused. This was the first time he heard this term.

Wang Zhen explained:

“Your Highness, the Red Shop is a name given by insiders. It is actually the kind of place that specializes in selling all kinds of “stolen goods”.”

 Hearing the word "stolen items", Song Chi suddenly understood.

Morning Star Sunland is so vast, and no one knows how many Xinhuo Captains are in it. With such a large number, it is naturally impossible to say that they all live in harmony, and there are naturally various conflicts in it.

With this coming and going, all kinds of stolen goods will naturally appear, and some of them that are not easy to load directly will be taken to the black market.

 Song Chi thought for a while.

 “Go and have a look!”

Although he didn't have high hopes, the auction was still in a few hours, so it might as well go over and have a look.

 The trading platform is located in the northeast, Mohe Shop.

As soon as he walked into the store door, Wang Zhen immediately said the corresponding code.

　　Immediately afterwards, he and Song Chi entered a secret door at the side of the shop.

After entering the secret door, Song Chi felt that the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and objects shining with various colors were introduced one after another.

With a cursory glance, Song Chi discovered that there were more than hundreds of various strange objects placed in this small closed secret room.

Excluding a small amount of blue parts, they are mostly purple-quality parts, and there are even parts that glow with orange light mixed in.

Wang Zhen's explanation soon came to my ears.

“Your Highness, this is the largest red shop in the black market. It is said that there are many senior battleships of the fourth level behind it.”

Song Chi nodded lightly, without showing anything strange.

Around the closed chamber, several Xinhuo captains standing in the corners also had expressions of surprise on their faces.

There is a fourth-level fire captain among them, and several others are also senior cruise captains. Among them, the fourth-level fire captain is the boss behind this red shop.

They are no strangers to Wang Zhen, a frequent visitor, and they also know that Wang Zhen's ship has been promoted to the Deer Ship, and its status is no longer the same. But it is precisely because of this that the word "Your Highness" in Wang Zhen's mouth, This made several people even more confused.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Song Chi beside Wang Zhen, their eyes full of inquiry.

Wang Zhen, who was able to officially step into Captain Zhulu with half a foot, was addressed as His Highness. Obviously, Song Chi, who had always seemed ordinary, could never have a simple identity.

Song Chi ignored these glances, and his eyes wandered over all the strange objects in the secret room.

 Compared to the ordinary parts in the outside world, these stolen goods do contain things of good value, but so far, he has not seen any parts that are too enticing.

　Seeing that he was minding his own inspection, no one else made any noise to interfere, and there was silence in the entire secret room.

 After about a few minutes, Song Chi finally found a rather special part.

 Virus spores exclude outer membrane lv0

 Quality: Purple

 Characteristics: Can isolate the Star Sea virus level +1

 Consumption: 7/s (Psionic points)

Effect: The loaded warship acquires a layer of virus-isolating outer membrane, which can currently isolate the Star Sea Spore Virus of the highest level (Level 0+1).

 No need for charging and buffering

 Required for upgrading: 7 strands of floating land origin (zero level), 700 psionic points

This is a component similar to the [water molecule isolation outer membrane], except that it isolates Star Sea virus spores.

The Broken Star Sea is vast, and there are countless special star fields that may appear in it, and there are not a few star fields that are full of spore viruses.

Although the Cangqiong has not encountered it yet, Song Chi has always been the kind of person who wants to take precautions before they happen.

“What's the price of this purple part?”

Seeing that his rather mysterious His Highness finally spoke, the owner of the red shop quickly made a quotation.

“Rare special isolation components, 20 strands of fourth-order floating land origin!”

 There was no need for Song Chi to speak, Wang Zhen beside him said coldly:

“Twenty strands of the fourth-order floating land source, Third Boss, your price can't be called unkind. It's an ordinary purple component, but you only need 5 strands of the fourth-order floating land source!” The fourth-order red store owner's expression remained unchanged.

“Old Wang, you also said that that is the price of ordinary purple parts.”

As one of the owners of the largest red shop in the black market, his subordinates' intelligence is naturally good. Wang Zhen's identity is not a secret to him.

Wang Zhen wanted to say something else, but Song Chi said quietly:

 “10 wisps!”

This price is the limit he can accept. If the other party is still unwilling, Song Chi will turn around and leave without hesitation.

However, the other party seemed to notice his attitude, and he agreed after a moment of hesitation.

After accepting the purple [Virus Spore Repellent Outer Membrane] component, Song Chi took Wang Zhen and left the red store directly without staying any longer. There were no more components that he was interested in here.

What Song Chi didn't know was that as the two of them left, the owner of the "Mohe" red shop immediately mobilized his energy and began to investigate his identity.

But even if he knew it, Song Chi wouldn't care.

From the beginning to the end, his relationship with Wang Zhen has not been exposed at all. In addition, with the components of the [Phantom Dragon Ten Thousand Transformations Pearl], no matter what force wants to investigate him, it is destined to be in vain.

 Of course, except for the forces with special golden cave-like components.

Facing this kind of component, not even the [Mirage Dragon Ten Thousand Transformations Pearl] can hide.

After visiting the Mohe Red Shop, Wang Zhen took Song Chi to visit several other smaller red shops, but the results were unsatisfactory and he never came across parts that Song Chi was satisfied with.

While the two of them were wandering around, the black market auction finally started.

This auction is a bit unusual. It is held right in the middle of the trading platform. There is no specific auction venue. It is held in the open air. All fire captains in the black market can bid.

And what's interesting is that the auction method is also very different from a normal auction. There is no so-called bidding link.

Each auction item taken out by the black market has a 10-minute bidding time. All fire captains in the black market can bid. After the 10 minutes are over, the black market will select one person from all the bidders as the winner.

Song Chi is no stranger to this brand-new auction method. It is very similar to the [Market Doorkeeper Order] and [Market Walking Order] auctions that he has done at the end of every market transaction.

Just as I was thinking about it, the manager behind the black market over there had already taken out the first auction item.

 【Strange Object: Burning Heart Flame】

  【Quality: Orange】

 【Can be transformed into: {fire seed upgraded fire source}】

  【Note: A wisp of strange fire that has been derived from thousands of years in the Red Flame Demonic Realm has many uses. 】

 After directly displaying the attribute panel of this orange fire strange object, the black market manager continued:

"This wisp of [Burning Heart Flame] is a top-grade orange fire source. It can upgrade purple fire seeds to orange fire seeds. Its value is comparable to some red wonders. Now, everyone can Quote yourself on the quoter, and after ten minutes we will select the most suitable person from all the quoters to trade.”

 The opening was the orange upgrade fire source. As expected, the entire trading platform was in an uproar, followed by a large number of quotations.

Even Song Chi is also somewhat moved.

Although he personally no longer needs it, both his grandfather and his parents still need it.

 Looking at Wang Zhen beside him, there was obvious fiery color in his eyes.

But it soon turned into helplessness.

He has spent almost all his money in order to be promoted to [Howling Wolf and Tiger Roar], and there is no way he can win this wisp of [Burning Heart Flame] at the moment.

Without paying much attention to the change in Wang Zhen's expression, Song Chi thought for a moment and typed the words "one orange main gun + one fourth-level silver apple + one top-quality dragon blood fruit" on the ticker in his hand.

He actually still had a red energy shield in his hand that he got from Anderson's ship, but he didn't think it was worth it, so he didn't take it out.

The ultimate orange upgraded fire source is said to be comparable to a red rare item, but that refers to a red rare item that cannot be converted into ship-borne components. It is still incomparable with real red components.

Ten minutes later, the final result came out. Song Chi did not become the lucky one. The captain who successfully exchanged for this [Burning Heart Flame] was a red quality main gun, with a premium of nearly one yuan. times.

Song Chi didn't react much to this. He didn't have high hopes from the beginning, so he can naturally accept it now.

 After the first lot, the second lot appears quickly.

This time it is no longer a strange creature from the Star Sea, but an extremely languid giant ape from the Star Sea alien race.

"This is a fourth-level gibbon demon ape. In its heyday, it had senior fourth-level combat power. Now its injuries can ensure that purple-level slave parts can be successfully enslaved. And a fourth-level enslaved creature, I believe it can be enslaved in the future. It will provide sufficient security guarantee in the coming great expansion war, and it can also be used to plunder more resources. Well, you can start bidding!”

 Song Chi didn't have much interest in this long-armed demon ape.

It's not that he looks down on a fourth-level slave fighting force, but he thinks there's no need to waste the money.

The great pioneering war is coming, and the family's war supplies have already been prepared, and arrangements must be made for the safety of the tribesmen below.

With a family like his, when he returns to Dragon's Back Continent, there is a high probability that he will be assigned a fourth-level slave unit provided by the family for free.

Just because he's not interested doesn't mean that others are the same.

Noticing the fiery gaze of Wang Zhen beside him, Song Chi quickly thought of the shabby status of his indentured servant. There was only one piece of orange hull armor on the entire ship.

 After pondering for a while, he whispered:

 “You want this gibbon?”

Seeing Wang Zhen nod sheepishly, he asked again.

 “What can you bring to the table?”

After thinking about it for a while, Song Chi decided to help Wang Zhen capture the gibbon demon ape. After all, there were many places where it would be needed in the future. It would not be a good idea to let it die easily.

Wang Zhen had surprise on his face and quickly said:

“5 strands of the fourth-order floating land source, 75 strands of the third-order…”

"stop!"

Seeing that he had the intention of reporting all his wealth, Song Chi quickly interrupted him.

 A few seconds later, he took out two Ten Thousand Years Dragon Blood Fruit + 20 strands of the fourth-order Floating Land Origin and handed them to Wang Zhen.

 “Try to see if you can take a picture yourself!”

He still has more than 20 Ten Thousand Years Dragon Blood Fruit in his hand. Taking out two of them is not a problem. The fourth-order Floating Land Origin can also be synthesized on the [Spirit Synthesis Platform], so there is no shortage.

 “Thank you, Your Highness!”

Wang Zhen took it excitedly and looked at Song Chi more firmly.

Soon, Wang Zhen successfully photographed this fourth-order gibbon demon ape. He didn't even use up all his funds. He only took out 1 Ten Thousand Years Dragon Blood Fruit + 15 strands of fourth-order Floating Continent Source.

The Xinhuo Captain who entrusted the auction of the Gibbon Demon Ape was probably quite old, so he agreed directly after seeing the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Blood Fruit.

Wang Zhen later wanted to return the remaining ten thousand-year dragon blood fruit and 10 strands of the fourth-order floating land source, but Song Chi waved him down.

“Take it and exchange it for other things you need. The configuration on your ship is too low. Pay more attention to it!”

As time passed, the black market management took out a large number of auction items.

These things are of pretty good value, with the worst parts being purple-quality parts, and occasionally a few orange-quality parts appearing in the middle.

Among them, Wang Zhen was really lucky. With the help of the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Blood Fruit and 10 rays of the fourth-order floating land source, he once again obtained an orange-quality super main gun, which can be regarded as a supplement for the "Howling Wolf and Tiger Roar" There was a slight lack of firepower.

However, Song Chi's mind was far from being so good. Except for the initial [Burning Heart Flame], there were no subsequent auctions that moved his heart, which made him greatly disappointed.

 Finally, after the auction of another top-quality purple component was completed, the black market management officially announced that it has entered the final stage.

 There are only three pieces in this grand finale.

 The first item is a low-level law crystal with earth attribute.

For those Xinhuo captains present who understood the laws of earth, this crystal of low-level laws with earth attributes undoubtedly caused quite a shock.

 Finally, he was photographed with 10 strands of fifth-order floating land source.

Song Chi still has no quotation. He follows the law of space, so the crystal of the earth attribute law is of no use to him.

However, the penultimate lot that appeared immediately gave him a big surprise.

 It is a half-step fifth-level starry sky plant tree heart.

"This is the half-step fifth-level [Heart of the Desolate Ancient Tree]. As the original tree heart of the starry sky plant, it should have a strong life-extending effect, but the power of desolation pervaded by the Ancient Desolate Tree itself has affected This makes this tree heart useless in extending life.

But after all, it is a half-step fifth-level starry sky plant tree heart. It still has many functions, so I won't go into details here. You can bid by yourself now! "

　　When this tree heart first appeared, it indeed attracted the attention of many Xinhuo captains. However, when they learned that it had no life-extending effect, most people suddenly lost interest.

However, what surprised Song Chi was that with the appearance of the [Desolate Ancient Tree Heart], there was a sudden change in the Fire Ancestral Aperture between his brows.

Originally, he was not very interested in this [Desolate Ancient Tree Heart], but with this strange phenomenon, he suddenly became serious.

His mind sank into the Xinhuo Ancestral Aperture, and soon Song Chi discovered the source of the abnormality.

 Similar to the previous encounter with the neutron star wreckage, the one that trembled slightly this time was still the miniature Sky.

Of course, this time it is no longer the [Neutron Star Core Armor] component, but another component in the Sky.

 【Chicang's No. 004 Cultivation Secret Realm】?

 Feeling the source of the slight trembling coming from the Mini Sky, Song Chi was surprised.

He never expected that it would be this part, but he soon discovered that it was not so much the [Chi Cang's No. 004 Cultivation Secret Realm] part that was trembling, but the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] inside this part.

 Getting this answer, Song Chi immediately thought of a lot.

“It's actually the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] that reacted to this [Desolate Ancient Tree Heart]? Is this [Desolate Ancient Tree Heart] the key to its promotion to the fifth level?”

This is the first thing that jumped out of Song Chi's heart.

There was no way, it had been a long time since the components of [Chi Cang's No. 004 Cultivation Secret Realm] had been strengthened to the fifth level, but the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] had never shown any intention to advance to the next level. Song Chi had a headache for this. I have been thinking about it for a long time and have considered various reasons, but I have not gotten the answer I want.

Therefore, Song Chi immediately associated the unusual movement in the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] with the promotion to the fifth level.

Suppressing the excitement and chaotic thoughts, Song Chi calmed himself down, and at the same time, he thought about what he could offer in exchange for this [Desolate Ancient Tree Heart].

Since it may be the key to the promotion of [Silver Apple Mother Tree], he must win this [Desolate Ancient Tree Heart].

The value of the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] is too great. Once it returns to the fifth level, combined with the "Secret Realm Accelerator" feature, it will be able to continuously produce orange wonders in the future. If it can return to the sixth level, it will be able to continuously produce red items. A rare object, just for this reason, even if there was only a slight possibility, he had to take action.

 Thinking about it, Song Chi had the answer in his mind.

 He took out the quote machine and quickly typed the following words in it.

 “Red energy shield [Red Dome Shield] or three ten thousand-year dragon blood fruits!”

 After giving the quotation, he began to wait quietly.

ˆ PS: Two chapters in one, there should be an additional chapter later.

 (End of this chapter)
