Global Era of Star trekking

```

Inside the Cang Qiong, in front of the main control panel, Song Chi was meticulously operating the spacecraft.

If someone familiar with him were here, they would have noticed a slight difference about him compared to usual.

On his shoulder lay a miniaturized serpent of just a few centimeters long. Though in its miniature form, those who looked closely could see the extraordinary nature of the ultra-smooth scales that shimmered with a faint fluorescent light on its body.

The delicacy combined with a sense of thickness gave the impression of an incredibly strong defense at first glance.

Indeed, this mini black serpent was the Second Rank Komo-In colossal snake in its most reduced size.

Of course, it had reached this minuscule size only after Song Chi brought it inside the Cang Qiong. Earlier, in front of Song Xiao, Song Chi had used mind induction to shrink the snake to just ten meters long.

In this way, he could dispel any suspicions from Song Xiao as much as possible.

After all, the ability to scale a slave creature's size was something only purple-quality control components could achieve.

If he exposed the [Enslavement Medal]'s capability to perform transformations to the extent of a hundredfold or even a thousandfold, it would certainly raise unnecessary suspicion.

Song Chi naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

Petting the little creature's head, Song Chi didn't harbor too many other thoughts in his mind.

Well... This Second Rank Komo-In colossal snake was destined to be just a transitional enslaved creature for him, certainly to be replaced later on.

Therefore, there was no need to invest too much emotion in it.

Continuing on his swift journey, Song Chi waited for several more hours on the Vault of Heaven.

There was no other way; the Purple River Translocation Device was only a blue component, and its current enhancement level was only LV20. After each use, it needed a substantial amount of time to buffer.

It was only after the Purple River Translocation Device finished buffering that he reactivated the component and returned to Green Moon Manor.

In his personal courtyard, after retracting the Cang Qiong into the Ancestral Torch, he entered his room and his figure promptly vanished.

Ruins Market Secret Realm, he summoned the Cang Qiong once more, installed the newly acquired [Space Beacon Emitter] component, and then swiftly enhanced it directly to LV20.

After enhancing the [Space Beacon Emitter] to LV20, it still had only one Pathfinder Mark, but the duration of that mark had increased from 2 months to 7 months, and the buffer time had decreased from 3 years to 2 years.

Having enhanced the [Space Beacon Emitter] component, Song Chi glanced over the Cang Qiong's attributes, or more accurately, the specific attributes of the [Special Components] category.

With the [Enslavement Medal] and the [Space Beacon Emitter] components installed, the Cang Qiong now had only two of its 14 special slots remaining.

[Additional Components: Fire Peony Soldier Figurine Tree (White) LV20, Brainwave Remote Control System (Purple) LV23, Abnormal Status Purifier (Blue) LV20, Purple River Translocation Device (Blue) LV20, Healing Fruit (White) LV29, Fixed-Point Launch Pad (Blue) LV20, Phantom Thruster (Purple) LV20, Blood Soul Stigma (Blue) LV20, Enslavement Medal (Red) LV20, Space Beacon Emitter (Blue) LV20 (12/14)]

Thinking this, he casually enhanced the Torch's ship body from LV10 to LV15. Afterward, the additional component slots instantly increased by 6, from 14 to 20, with the number of available slots once again rising to 8.

Having finished with that, he strode down the central street of the Ruins Market towards the shopping area.
Experience exclusive tales on empire

After pondering for a moment, Song Chi cleared out one of the shops and changed the text on the projection screen above the central counter with a thought.

[13 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin in exchange for 1 strand of First Rank Floating Land Origin]

[14 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin in exchange for 1 strand of Second Rank Floating Land Origin]

[15 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin in exchange for 1 strand of Third Rank Floating Land Origin]

[20 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin in exchange for 1 strand of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin]

...

[50 strands of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin in exchange for 1 strand of Ninth Rank Floating Land Origin]

Indeed, this shop was the one he would use in the future specifically for exchanging low-level Floating Land Origins for higher-level ones, and the exchange ratio had once again been raised significantly. He believed many alien species entering the Ruins Market would actively engage in exchange transactions in the future.

In reality, his primary goal was to exchange the First, Second, and Third Rank Floating Land Origins. As for the Fourth Rank and above, that was just listed to take a look; it was mainly to elevate the status of the Ruins Market. But seriously, it was quite unrealistic to expect a First Rank alien species to bring out a Fourth Rank or higher Floating Land Origin.

After carefully inspecting the various items in the other shops.

He finally went into the dedicated purchasing shop.

Seeing that all the acquisition information for Titanium Crystals, Energy Crystals, Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence, Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Mother, and Purple Quality or higher Fire Seed strange objects was all there without omission, Song Chi proceeded toward the Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform.

Almost two months had passed since the last opening of Ruins Market for trading, and he was already eager to proceed.

Soon, the Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform was activated.

After being upgraded to LV16, it could now deploy up to 43 spatial gates. Watching the 43 space vortexes appearing at the entrance of the Ruins Market, Song Chi waited in silence.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

It seemed his luck was still not that great; most of the deployed space gates had not been discovered by intelligent beings. Half an hour later, only a little more than a hundred alien species had gathered inside the Ruins Market.

Fortunately, Zhou Ping, as usual, arrived as expected, and he still brought with him 50 Titanium Crystals and 1000 units of Body Tempering Liquid, 100 units of Body Tempering Paste.
