Global Era of Star trekking

Pondering, Deguen finally spoke up.

"Lord of the Ruins Market, I wish to exchange for this Silver Legendary Oddity!"

Song Chi thought about it, and quickly, with a flicker of thought, a line of text appeared on the projection screen in the center of the shop.

[What would you like to exchange for?]

Seeing that his words had indeed received a response, a hint of obscure worry flashed in Deguen's eyes.

After all, this involved a Silver Miraculous Item, the last foundation of their North Sea Royal Court, and it feared that the unknown existence behind the Ruins Market would have some unusual thoughts.

After a moment of hesitation, it tentatively said:

"May I use the [Mirage Dragon Pearl] as collateral and borrow the golden [Tri-Eye Blasphemy Cannon] for a period of time?"

"Once the borrowing is over, I am willing to pay two Red Epic Relics as compensation!"

For this proposal, Song Chi rejected it instantly.

[Only Oddities of the same quality can be used as collateral!]

Of course, while the rejection was swift, in truth, he was quite tempted inside. Merely lending it for a while would get him two Red Epic Treasures, which for the [Tri-Eye Blasphemy Cannon] that might otherwise lay collecting dust in the Ruins Market for a while, was undoubtedly very tempting.

However, the problem was that Song Chi could only reclaim items like [Ruins Market Guest Token] [Ruins Market Walking Rank] under his own initiative. If the other party were to default later, he would have no way of reclaiming the golden Star Annihilator Cannon.

By that time, he would really become the fool who passively exchanged a Golden Oddity for a Silver Oddity.

Seeing the rapid response from the projection screen, Deguen wasn't surprised, and the tone of its voice immediately changed.

"In that case, this junior is willing to use this [Mirage Dragon Pearl], to exchange for all the Red + Orange + Purple Oddities in the shop, and additionally, I would like a [Ruins Market Walking Rank] with a twenty-year usage period!"

After speaking, it waited quietly with anticipation for the follow-up reply, while Song Chi, who was in the free trading area, quickly did the calculations in his mind.

At the moment, in the Oddity Exchange Shop, not counting that [Tri-Eye Blasphemy Cannon], there were a total of three Red Oddities, twelve Orange Oddities (10 + Earth Attribute Law Crystal + Fire-Attributed Law Crystal), and over thirty Purple Oddities.

Carefully calculated, the total value was around four to five Red Oddities. If one included the twenty-year [Ruins Market Walking Rank], it essentially equated to eleven or twelve Red Oddities.

At first glance, it didn't seem much different from one Silver Legendary Oddity, but Song Chi knew that this was actually a rather good deal for himself.

Because at the level of Red and Silver Oddities, one couldn't simply calculate by a ratio of 10:1 anymore.

However, even so, Song Chi still made some reductions.

[Ruins Market Walking Rank with a ten-year usage period, other conditions unchanged!]

Originally, he had thought about taking out the two Law Crystals, but on second thought, once the [Ruins Market Walking Rank] expired, the other party would need to top up with Red Oddities, which clearly had a higher value than the Orange Quality Low Level Law Crystals.

After hesitating for a moment, Deguen finally nodded in agreement.

Ten years, hundreds of Ruins Market transactions, would be enough for the Royal Court to acquire a substantial amount of various rare resources.

Once the trade was concluded, all the Oddities in the Oddity Exchange Shop above Purple Quality floated up and were eventually piled up in front of Deguen.

This sudden change startled the dozens of Alien Species still in the shop, but as they saw the faint silver gleam of the [Mirage Dragon Pearl] that Song Chi deliberately revealed, all the Alien Races took a sharp breath and their sense of oddity instantly turned into a natural acceptance.

Not long after, news that the Ruins Market Lord had recently traded for a Silver Legendary Oddity began to spread throughout the Ruins Market.

Underneath the rumor, the mystical aura surrounding the Ruins Market Lord thickened a few degrees in the hearts of all Alien Races.

And that was exactly the effect Song Chi wanted.

Silver Legendary Oddities could be traded as easily as this, the security of the market was absolutely guaranteed, so hurry up and take out all the good things you have in your possession.

Although he didn't explicitly say it, this was essentially what Song Chi wanted to convey.

Time passed swiftly, and soon the trade event drew to a close. Song Chi, as promised, held an auction for the Ruins Market Guest Tokens and the Ruins Market Walking Rank, ultimately selling two Guest Tokens and adding two Purple Relics to his now almost empty Oddity Exchange Shop.

After that, he selected two hundred individuals from the alien species with the largest trade volume and issued two hundred Ruin Market Listing Commands.

With that, this Ruins Market trade officially came to an end.

As all the alien races departed, the entire Ruins Market fell into silence. Song Chi once again summoned the Cangqiong, loading the newly acquired Mirage Transformation Pearl of Mirage Dragon onto it and enhancing it to lv20 in one go.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but he simply didn't have enough Titanium Crystals.

As for the Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, he was hardly short of it. In addition to the 100 strands just synthesized on the Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform, the Third-Rank aliens who had come in also provided nearly 150 strands. Combining them with what he had left before, Song Chi now had nearly 300 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin in his hands.

Looking at this component's attributes now, after enhancing it to lv20, its effect priority had reached 2400.

The weakening effects on Illusion Technique, Illusion Realm, and Illusion Array had also reached 30%.

As for the "Ever-Changing" feature, there hadn't been many substantive changes.

However, both "Mirage Shadow" and "Mirage Dragon Spirit Pressure" had seen certain improvements.

{Mirage Shadow: Consumes 90000 Spectral Energy Points, takes 40s to charge, the warship enters Mirage Shadow stealth mode, undetectable by most scouting methods. Stealth mode automatically deactivates upon initiating an attack or receiving damage, duration 60 minutes, cooldown time 120 hours.}

{Mirage Dragon Spirit Pressure: Consumes 100000 Spectral Energy Points, the Mirage Dragon Pearl emits a spirit pressure one rank higher than its current enhancement level, intimidating enemy units, duration 3 minutes, cooldown time 120 hours.}

Once the enhancement was complete, Song Chi was satisfied and recalled the Cangqiong. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Although the Mirage Transformation Pearl of Mirage Dragon component hadn't led to a substantial change in the Cangqiong's combat power, it had significantly improved the warship's safety for the future, making it very practical overall.

However, when his attention returned to the Oddity Exchange Shop, he couldn't help twitching the corner of his eye. In order to trade for the Mirage Transformation Pearl of Mirage Dragon, the shop was now back to square one, with only two Purple Relics barely maintaining appearances, which was indeed a sorry sight.

Fortunately, the purchasing plan with Song Yufeng was still ongoing, and he believed it wouldn't take long for the shop to be replenished with High-Rank Oddities.

With that in mind, Song Chi exited the Ruins Market, ready to head back to Sky Rush Valley.

He found Song Yufeng, greeted him, and took out more than ten million strands of Zero-Rank, First-Rank, and Second-Rank Floating Land Origins, entrusting him to continue purchasing the Starry Sea Oddities and the several resources required by the Deep Sea Nagas.

But just as he was about to leave, Song Yufeng took the initiative to stop him.

"Your Highness, a Legendary Guild has sent an invitation — in eight days, the master of the Legendary Guild will host a birthday banquet at the Saint Roland Manor and invites Your Highness to attend," said Song Yufeng.

Song Chi wasn't surprised; he had already received an invitation under another identity.

"Decline it. I don't wish to join in on this hustle," he said.

Behind him, Song Yufeng seemed to hesitate, wanting to say more, but in the end, he simply nodded lightly.

...

Sky Rush Valley, after returning there, he resumed his daily practice of Guidance Technique, Visualization Method, and Law Comprehension among other cultivation tasks.

The practice of Guidance Technique could only proceed within the Ruins Market, but Visualization and Law Comprehension Song Chi both took place in the outside world.

His comprehension of the laws had not yet fully transformed into Starry Sea Laws. Although practicing within the Ruins Market Secret Realm wouldn't deepen the comprehension of the incomplete laws, it also couldn't transform his comprehension into Starry Sea Laws.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, eight days had flown by.

On this day, a Torch Warship quietly soared through the clouds and soon disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, not far from Holy Star City, the grand Saint Roland Manor was buzzing with activity.

As a large manor, Saint Roland's reputation was already considerable, but today, the excitement there was absolutely bustling.
