Global Era of Star trekking

Subsequently, he opened the local network's trading marketplace with anticipation.

Indeed, it lived up to being the regional group chat for the entire Huanbai Tower Floating Land, with a substantial number of chat participants creating an array of products in the trading marketplace.

Minerals, genetic potions, military exoskeletons, first and second-rank Floating Land Origins, and even Starry Sea Oddities were not few in number.

After glancing around, Song Chi found his eyes dazzled, as there were just too many items on offer, many of which he covetously eyed.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much funds at hand and could only look on helplessly.

There were many Starry Sea Oddities listed, but they were uniformly white-quality, with only a handful of blue oddities, which had rather underwhelming attributes, such as:

[Strange Object: Green Barley Tree]

[Quality: Blue]

[Can Evolve Into: {Green Barley Circulatory System}]

[Note: A blue oddity that can promote air circulation, making your future interstellar life fresh every day.]

As everyone knows, Torch Warships inherently possess their own internal circulation features. While the circulating effect produced by the Green Barley Tree might be somewhat better, what's the point?

It neither increases combat power nor offers any defensive attribute enhancements, so why spend a substantial amount of resources just to freshen the air in one's Torch Warship?

...

Half an hour later, that sense of novelty within Song Chi finally faded, and the curiosity in his eyes gradually settled into tranquility.

In between, he pondered over the anonymity function of his account, thinking about whether he could use this feature to disguise his frequent future sales.

But then he felt it was inadvisable; the special permissions for his account came from an assistant activator at a Torch Bureau in Jiangyuan, and he contemplated that if an ordinary activator could achieve this, it likely meant that the privacy could not be very high?

To be on the safe side, he eventually abandoned this idea.

Disconnecting from the Torch network, Song Chi re-entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and continued his daily routine of cultivating the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique and visualizing the Mythical Mech Projection in his mind. Time passed day by day in this ordinary manner.

During the following ten days or so, Song Chao rarely came back, busy with his affairs outside, which made his mother, Chen Lixia, complain several times. Knowing what his father was busy with, Song Chi didn't ask too much. Since it was about Titanium Crystal and he had only just awakened, he couldn't meddle in it, and Song Chao wouldn't allow it either.

That day, accompanied by his mother, Chen Lixia, Song Chi once again headed to the outskirts of the city.

The Cang Qiong had completed a month of buffer, and today was the time for his second exploration of the Alien Star Domain. Of course, it's possible to delay it further, and there wouldn't be an issue even if he decided not to explore the Alien Star Domain subsequently, but naturally, Song Chi wouldn't make that choice.

With the "Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator," an orange component, he was now somewhat eager to quickly test the effects of this glorious component.

With this component, as long as he wasn't extremely unlucky and didn't encounter black holes, Starry Sea storms, or void fissures, safety could still be guaranteed.

For example, the White Winged Tribe they encountered before, even if the Cang Qiong stayed stationary and let them attack freely for ten minutes, they might not be able to breach the ship's Shield Value.

The Energy Shield ignited by the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator boasted far more than just Shield Value compared to the Spectral Shield generated before; its defense strength itself was also significantly higher. The attacks from the first-rank White Winged Tribe landing on the current Energy Shield would inflict damage far less than that on the previous Spectral Shield.

When these aspects are combined, the disparity is actually much greater than one might imagine.

Jiangyuan City suburbs.

It was still that Alien Star Domain launch platform, only this time, the deployers were no longer just students from major academies, but more of them were civilian Torch Warship captains from Jiangyuan City.

As a city with a population of over twenty million, even if only a few dozen ordinary citizens were lucky enough to awaken the Seed of Torch each year, over the decades and centuries, the accumulated number of Torch Warships would be staggering.

And among these types of Torch Warships, over ninety percent could only remain at the Spectral Shuttle level for their entire lives.

The lowest-level Spectral Shuttle class Torch Warships could only explore the Alien Star Domain with the help of ultra-long-range Alien Star Domain launch platforms.

Only by enhancing the Torch ship to level 10 and advancing to the First Rank (Spectral Airship), could they conduct their own explorations of the Alien Star Domain, no longer needing the assistance of the launch platforms.

Therefore, this also led to the current situation where the crowds were mountainous and the number of Warships waiting for launch far exceeded the previous academy launches.

Not long after Song Chi arrived, Sun Hao approached him, and with a glance over, Song Chi's eyebrows slightly raised.

In this month, Sun Hao had clearly not slacked off, his Spectral Energy Guidance Technique level had astonishingly broken through from lv3 to lv4, compounded with his already impressive build, the pressure he exerted was substantial.

"Brother Chi, you've actually broken through, too."

After his surprise, Sun Hao paused, and just as Song Chi was curious about what he was going to say, Sun Hao suddenly came out with an extremely cringeworthy line.

"Alas, having Yu, why need Liang!"

Song Chi's eye twitched, and for a moment, he didn't even know what to say. This guy always managed to pull off some flamboyant moves that completely didn't fit his burly frame.

And the kicker was, that line was even TM from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Great Han Floating Land" that he had once published, so you can imagine how speechless Song Chi was feeling at that moment.

Pushing off the hand that was like a bear's paw from his shoulder, Song Chi quickly put some distance between himself and this guy. It was just too awkward; he felt his secondhand embarrassment reaching a critical point.

Unaware, Sun Hao soon approached again, his thick arm once again wrapping around Song Chi's neck.

Song Chi's complexion visibly darkened, but fortunately at that moment, the hundred people in front of them had finished launching, and staff from the Torch Bureau on the side of the platform were calling for their group.

One hundred figures stepped onto the launch platform one after another, positioned themselves accordingly, and simultaneously summoned their Spectral Shuttles. Once all hundred Spectral Shuttles were ready, the Torch Bureau staff on the outside activated the ultra-long-range Starry Sea launch platform.

The column of light that pierced the sky appeared again, and the hundred Spectral Shuttles quickly disappeared without a trace.

A familiar sense of weightlessness swept over his body. Compared to a month ago, this time, Song Chi's recovery was even quicker.

His breakthrough in the Guidance Technique to lv5 gave his physical attributes a slight boost, and naturally, his body's resistance to negative states also proportionately increased quite a bit.

Song Chi, having righted himself, activated the energy shield of Cang Qiong immediately, just like the previous time.

Once the layer of pitch-black Dark Matter Energy Shield from the "Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator" component appeared, he finally let himself relax.

The sense of security brought by an orange-quality Energy Shield was just that exaggerated.
