Global Era of Star trekking

Eight hours later, although there were a few more alien species in the Ruins Market, the number was still far less than usual, only just over four hundred.

Regarding this, Song Chi had already adjusted his mindset and accepted the fact that the spatial gates he had deployed this time were extremely unlucky.

Upon reflection, this was actually within the realm of reason.

The Shattered Starry Sea was vast, and although there were many Starry Sea Floating Lands, they were insignificant compared to the vastness of the Starry Sea. Not to mention, not all Starry Sea Floating Lands were inhabited by intelligent life forms; the proportion of life-bearing Floating Lands was not high.

However, compared to the bad luck with the deployment of spatial gates, there was plenty of good news from the market shop district.

Especially the new Floating Land Origin exchange shop he had recently set up.

Compared to the collection stands that he used to put at the end of every market transaction, this exchange shop was clearly more popular.

Even though there were fewer alien species entering this time than before, and the market transaction time was less than half, the Floating Land Origins exchanged in the shop had already surpassed the last time.

Song Chi calculated; up to now, he had exchanged out over ten thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin and acquired over a thousand strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin. He had exchanged nearly nine hundred strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin for sixty-five strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin.

Although no alien species had yet come forward with Third Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi was extremely satisfied.

At the moment, he was in urgent need of Second Rank Floating Land Origin and Titanium Crystal. He had 150 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin on hand, so he wasn't in too much of a hurry for it.

Just when Song Chi thought that the market transaction would end in this rather lackluster fashion, a sudden twist occurred halfway through.

"Hmm?"

In the free stall area, Song Chi, who was constantly roaming between the stalls, slightly raised his eyebrows and then shifted his gaze in the direction of the second floor of the inn.

Just now, he had felt a new request for transmission from a Ruins Market Guest Token.

It was not the one in Zhou Ping's hands, but the very first one he had issued.

"Could it be that the centaur tribe has already gotten their hands on that so-called 'Red Origin Heavenly Fire'?"

For a moment, Song Chi's heart grew hot with anticipation. Stay connected through empire

The first Ruins Market Guest Token he had given out was to a centaur who claimed they could procure an item of Orange Quality Fire Seed Marvel, the "Red Origin Heavenly Fire."

He had also made it clear that they could only activate the Ruins Market Guest Token once before securing the Red Origin Heavenly Fire; if they failed, he would take back the token after one use.

So, half a year later, their sudden activation of this Ruins Market Guest Token likely meant they had obtained the Red Origin Heavenly Fire.

With this thought, how could Song Chi not be excited? A marvel of Fire Seed with Orange Quality—even if it couldn't serve as the Seed of Torch Fire Source UpRank, its value was undoubtedly beyond imagination.

In his delight, he nodded mentally, agreeing to the other party's transmission request.

Soon, a familiar figure with the head of a human and the body of a horse walked down from the second floor of the inn. To Song Chi's surprise, it was indeed holding a fiercely burning flame in its hand.

Unless there was a mistake, this was the bundle of Orange Quality Red Origin Heavenly Fire.

Under Song Chi's watchful eye, the centaur, excited, made its way to the procurement shop, clearly thrilled at the prospect of entering the Zhu Tian Ruins Market once more.

In the procurement shop, the centaur scanned the many new procurement messages inside the shop, which were more numerous than half a year ago. It wanted to see if there were any corresponding resources for its tribe.

Soon, it made its way to the projection screen in the center of the shop.

Raising its right hand high, it presented the fiery Fire Seed, supported by a special Jade Disc, in front of the projection screen.

"I have not failed your expectations, my lord. My tribe, the Eastern Green, has successfully obtained this Red Origin Heavenly Fire. Please, lord, inspect it!"

As its words fell, an eager Song Chi activated the Power of Laws from the Secret Realm and swiftly enveloped the incredibly fiery Fire Seed.

But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Upon learning the specific attributes of this Fire Seed, Song Chi took a long sigh.

Just as the Centaur from the Dongqing Tribe had said, this Red Origin Heavenly Fire was indeed an Orange Quality Fire Seed Marvel, but it could not be converted into a Seed of Torch Fire Source UpRank.

As such, its value was undoubtedly greatly diminished, at least for Song Chi, and for all the Torch Ship Captains of the Torch Human Civilization.

[Marvel: Red Origin Heavenly Fire]

[Quality: Orange]

[Evolvable: No]

[Remarks: A Top Rank Fiery Fire Seed Marvel, nurtured over thirty thousand years deep within the volcanoes of the Pegasus Floating Continent's Red Origin Tribe, has been cultivated by the Red Origin Tribe for thousands of years and has officially joined the ranks of the Orange Fire Seeds. It is an extremely rare kind of Fire Seed in the Shattered Starry Sea.]

Suppressing the intense disappointment in his heart, Song Chi's thoughts shifted slightly, and he provided the corresponding response on the projection screen at the center of the exchange shop.

[Yes, I'll make good on the promise made earlier and grant you ten more opportunities to re-enter the Ruins Market.]

At the same time, he waved his hand gently, and the Power of Laws within the market once again mobilized, quickly passing over the Ruins Market Guest Token in the Centaur's hand.

When the First Rank Centaur looked at its Ruins Market Guest Token, it found that the counter which had originally been reset to zero now impressively read 10/10.

Overcome with joy, it bowed to the projection screen in front of it and then turned and left the purchasing shop, excitedly heading off to browse other shops.

It was acutely aware of the significance that all the various items sold in the market held for its tribe behind, the "Dongqing Tribe."

Merely half a year ago, a significant purchase had enabled the Dongqing Tribe to see a rapid increase in strength over the subsequent six months; thus, with the entire tribe's trust on its shoulders this time, it was under tight time constraints, with many items to buy.

The only thing that caused it some discomfort was that, unlike the Spatial Gates dispatched by the market itself, the Ruins Market Guest Token did not allow for unlimited entries and exits.

Each activation basically meant one had to wait until the trading session was over before leaving because leaving halfway through would make it impossible to re-enter, and one would have to wait for the next monthly market session.

That meant creatures that entered the market with a Ruins Market Guest Token could only bring back one trip's worth of goods, thus barring the purchase of many large and high-quality items.

"If only there were some kind of spatial storage device!!"

Muttering to itself, the First Rank peak Centaur headed straight for the Genetic Potion shop.

Regarding this, Song Chi naturally did not pay much more attention.

With another wave of his hand, the portion of the Orange Quality Red Origin Heavenly Fire in his hand disappeared, and when it appeared again, it was now displayed in the Oddity Exchange Shop, alongside the Orange Quality [Terra Primeval Stone], conspicuously hanging at the most eye-catching spot of the exchange shop.

Also, below the [Red Origin Heavenly Fire] merchandise stand, he specifically added a note.

[This Fire Seed is to be exchanged preferentially for other marvels of the same quality Fire Seed.]

There was no helping it, compared to other Orange Quality marvels, Song Chi naturally preferred the same quality Fire Source UpRanks with higher value within the Torch Human Civilization Territory.

Time passed quickly, and with only one hour left before the end of this trading session, seeing that nearly seven hundred Alien Species were present in the market, Song Chi's gaze became firm, and he decided to act on an idea that had been brewing for nearly two months.

Above the Vault of Heaven of the Ruins Market Secret Realm, the Power of Laws suddenly began to converge rapidly.

This spectacle naturally caught the attention of all Alien Species below immediately. As these Alien Species were puzzled, the text formed by the Power of Laws materialized above the market.

Since all the text was formed by the Power of Laws, all Alien Species understood the meaning at a glance.

Upon clearly seeing the text of the Laws, the reaction of all Alien Species was almost unanimous. Their pupils dilated, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Looking towards the sky, at the very top line of text, there were only five characters.

[Ruins Market Guest Token]

Below these five characters was naturally the detailed description of the Ruins Market Guest Token, the very reason why all Alien Species' eyes were filled with excitement.

PS: Originally, a key Alien Race was going to appear in this Ruins Market trading session, but I feel the pace is a bit too fast, so after thinking about it, I decided to push it back. Readers, how do you feel about the current pace?
