National Star Sea Era

After thinking for a while, Song Chi finally gave up the idea of ​​exchanging titanium crystals.

There are two reasons.

First, gold merit points are rare. As far as Song Chi knows so far, only by completing tasks related to fourth-level creatures can you obtain gold merit point rewards.

Either turn over shipboard components of purple quality and above, or extremely rare resources (such as void crystals, titanium crystals, mid-to-high-level life crystals, special space resources, special time resources, etc.).

Regardless of the above, the requirements are extremely demanding, which further proves in disguise how rare gold merit points are.

Second, there is a stable income from titanium crystals in Zhutian Market every month. Although it is only 50 pieces each time, the advantage is that it is stable and the stream of water flows slowly. As long as he is not in a hurry, the annual income from titanium crystals is still very high. Considerable.

Having made the decision, he no longer stayed in front of the counter and continued to browse the thirty floors.

After more than ten minutes, Song Chi, who had basically finished browsing the thirty floors, was a little dazzled. There were really too many good things in it.

Just talking about purple-quality ship-based parts, he saw no less than ten yuan. The asking price of these normal purple parts is generally about 5 points of gold merit.

There is also an ordinary purple upgraded fire source called [Jinglian Sky Fire], which can upgrade colorless quality fire seeds to white quality.

However, the price for this thing is not cheap, it costs 7 points of gold merit.

Song Chi was naturally not interested in this.

Two minutes later, he reached the thirty-first floor.

In this layer, he saw an orange-quality ship-based main gun. Its attributes were not much different from the pure sun sword light cannon. It also had the active characteristic of a main burst. However, the price of this thing was 105 points of gold merit, which made Song Chi a little worried. Stunning.

He then ran several floors in a row, where he saw several orange-quality ship-borne parts, even more purple parts, and two top-grade purple upgraded fire sources that were comparable to orange rare objects.

Finally he came to a rough conclusion.

This Merit Building is over 30 floors, and the value of purple-quality ship-borne components is about 5 to 10 gold merit points.

The exchange price for the ultimate purple upgraded fire source that is comparable to orange quality parts is 40 points of gold merit.

The exchange price for orange glory quality ship parts is around 80 to 120 points of gold merit.

Knowing this, Song Chi continued to go to the upper level.

On the 49th floor of the Merit Building, Song Chi stopped.

On this floor, he saw a type of component that he had always wanted to get.

Obsidian hull armor lv0

Quality: purple

Trait: Obsidian Guardian

Consumption: 7/second (psionic points)

Protection: 17

No need for charging and buffering

Required for upgrade: 7 strands of floating land origin (zero level), 700 nether energy points, 1kg of obsidian

{Obsidian Guardian: Consume 2000 points of psionic energy to instantly generate a layer of obsidian shield on the surface of the ship. The shield lasts for 2 minutes and has a buffer time of 48 hours. }

That's right, this type of ship armor with active shielding characteristics is what Song Chi has been looking for.

The woman from the Morning Star Multi-Function Store had a piece of hull armor called [Shadow Ink Stone Armor] in her hands. He had been thinking about this piece of armor for a long time.

It's just that until the woman behind left, he didn't have the right opportunity to exchange it with her. After all, his main attention at that time still fell on the [Forest White Bone Flame].

Now seeing this piece of [Obsidian Hull Armor] that is no less inferior to the [Shadow Inkstone Armor], Song Chi is naturally extremely eager.

Its "Obsidian Guardian" characteristic is no worse than the "Inkstone Shield" characteristic, and it is also instantaneous, which is very suitable for the Sky to protect itself when it is too late to fully activate the [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator].

However, no matter how eager Song Chi is, the exchange price of this [Obsidian Hull Armor] will not change. It requires 10 points of gold merit to redeem it. Among all the purple ship-borne parts, it is the most expensive except for the top-grade upgraded fire source. It was expensive, which gave him a headache.

There is a handover counter on the 49th floor of the Merit Building. There is one such counter on each floor. Their function is to facilitate the identification of the items in hand and the issuance of corresponding merit points when the clan members hand over the items.

Song Chi stepped in front of the counter, and then slowly opened the Xinhuo Ancestral Aperture between his eyebrows. He took out the [Blochaoji Main Cannon] and placed it on the counter.

"Excuse me, if this purple main gun is turned in, how many gold merit points can be exchanged for it?"

He took out the main gun that he had acquired from the ruins of the Bullo Civilization and the [Slavery Medal], and wondered if he could exchange the gold merit points for the [Obsidian Hull Armor] with this main gun.

However, the fact made him a little disappointed.

Even if this main gun is added, it is still not enough.

"Ordinary purple main gun, the exchange price is 4 points of gold merit."

In response, Song Chi frowned.

Because among the more than ten levels that have been transferred before, all the purple main gun parts from the 30th level onwards, as long as the attributes are not too high-quality, such as having special armor-piercing, shield-breaking and other characteristics, the basic exchange price is 5 points. Golden merit.

He didn't expect that when the family recycled the same parts, they only had 4 points of gold merit. They sold them at the original price and received a 20% discount, which surprised him.

Even counting these 4 points of gold merit, it was still not enough to exchange for the obsidian hull armor, and he also wanted to save money to exchange for the third-level thorn dragon enslavement certificate.

After gritting his teeth, he took back the Bullock main gun, suppressed the idea of ​​borrowing money from his parents, and decided to wait first. After all, his parents had just returned to the family, and he There is a high probability that they are in urgent need of gold merit points.

Then he thought about whether to take out the remaining 900 meters of amethyst skin, but after thinking about it for a moment, he still shook his head.

Amethyst skin is a pseudo-fourth-level insect mother skin, and the chance of getting it again in the future is very small.

As grandpa Song Mingsong offered a small portion to the Ministry of Science and Technology, there is a high probability that many members of the Song clan will come to ask for it after hearing the news. When the time comes, waiting for the price will be the best option.

Thinking about it, he whispered a few words of comfort to himself.

Maybe if you do a few more market transactions in the future, you can get other purple ship parts?

Giving up the plan of exchanging the obsidian hull armor directly, Song Chi continued to stride towards the 50th floor of the Merit Building.

But who would have expected that this time he was blocked by the isolation light curtain, and more importantly, the quantum communication bracelet he was wearing was blocked.

[You need more than 20 gold merit points to enter the 50th floor. If it is detected that your gold merit points are less than 20 points, you cannot enter the 50th floor. 】

Listening to the prompt sound that reached his ears, Song Chi was helpless.

In the end, he could only leave the Merit Building with the second-level Como Sound Giant Snake Slavery Certificate, the components of the [Space Beacon Launcher] and 20 advanced body-building potions.

After finding his grandfather Song Mingsong, Song Chi explained the matter and indicated that he still had to go to the "Great Rift in the Hidden Valley".

The two immediately separated.

As for the bionic skin armor, it will take a few days to complete it. Once completed, the Science and Technology Department will have dedicated personnel to deliver it to Qingyue Manor.

…

Dragon's Back Continent, a large rift in the hidden valley.

This is a huge fissure with an average width of more than 100,000 meters and stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Looking down from the sky, it looks more like a long dragon lying on the ground, sleeping underground forever.

As the Sky slowly descended, it soon entered the interior of the rift. The depth of this rift was also somewhat astonishing. The deepest point was also over 100,000 meters. There were many creatures living at the bottom of the rift.

At this moment, the Cang Qiong successfully landed on a platform on the cliff half of the fissure. This platform was more than a kilometer wide and more than 10,000 meters long. There was a medium-sized artificial building standing on it. It was the Song family stationed here. The large crack in the hidden valley is the base that ensures the normal reproduction of the Komoyin giant snake group in this crack.

The Cangqiong had just docked at the battleship docking area at the edge of the platform. Before Song Chi could step out of the battleship, violent roars suddenly came from the sky above the distant rift.

He glanced sideways at the Sky Eye patrol radar, and saw two figures of different sizes approaching very quickly.

Two figures, one only about a hundred meters long, shuttled in front, while the other was over a kilometer in size, chasing closely behind the former.

With just one glance, the basic outline emerged in Song Chi's mind. It was most likely a second-tier frigate, entangled with a third-tier Komoin giant snake.

The fact was indeed what he thought. Soon he saw a frigate wrapped in a purple energy shield speeding past the crack in front of the platform where the base was located.

Scanning the results scanned by the Cang Qiong's semi-automatic shipboard intelligence, Song Chi narrowed his eyes slightly. Judging from the scan results, the strength of the energy shield emitted by the hull of the frigate just passed was as high as The peak of the third level.

While he was thinking, a violent tremor soon came from below the base platform.

Looking down through the protective light curtain of the platform, I saw a terrifying giant snake with a body length of more than a kilometer, exuding strong third-level life pressure, passing all the way, pursuing the frigate in front.

In the Cangqiong, Song Chi's pupils shrank slightly. If the Cangqiong's detection results were correct, the third-order Komoyin giant snake that just passed by was actually a peak-level third-order existence.

And the key point is that Song Chi saw dense wounds on his body, most likely caused by the previous frigate.

"Is the second-order battleship facing the third-order pinnacle Komoyin Serpent..."

With a murmur in his heart, Song Chi got off the Cangqiong.

Holding the certificate of slavery in his hand, he headed inside the base building.

Along the way, he met many tribesmen, all of whom came with the same certificate of servitude as him. As a creature that can be ranked in the third level on the genetic lineage spectrum, the Komoyin Giant Snake is still very popular within the Song family. welcome.

"That was Song Tianyu just now. He is indeed a newly emerged genius from the Seventh Lineage. I heard he is only in his early forties, right? He dared to challenge the peak third-order Komoyin Serpent, tsk tsk tsk!!"

"I heard that this person is also a Purple Fire Seed, but I don't know if there is any possibility of impacting the family sequence in the future."

"What are you thinking about? You want to touch the porcelain sequence just because of a purple fire? In recent years, have there been fewer people from the purple fire tribe in your family? But the six major sequences of my Song family have not changed for twenty years! "

"This Song Tianyu is indeed not bad. He is enough to dominate among the fourth-order families in the principality, but he is still far behind the family rankings."

"I agree. I remember that when His Highness Song Ming was in the fifth rank, his ship was just promoted to the second rank, and he defeated the siege of three cruisers of the Red River Star Pirates."

(It should be okay to call him Your Highness here, right?)

…

Listening to the chatter in his ears, Song Chi did not stop and his expression did not change, but there was a lot of confusion in his heart.

"The fifth order of the Song family in Dinghai, Song Ming... He just entered the second order and attacked three cruisers head-on..."

Song Chi felt a little heavy in his heart. He put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If the Cangqiang was promoted to the second level, he would not be afraid of attacking a cruiser head-on. But if it was talking about attacking three cruisers, to be honest, he had no confidence in his heart. .

In other words, the probability of failure will be very high.

Although the Cangqiong currently has an orange energy shield and an orange main gun, and the configuration is definitely luxurious, to be honest, the hull armor is a flaw. If it really encounters three cruisers head-on, the result will most likely be... Sunk during siege.

"I hope I can get a purple ship-based component in this market transaction. The blue-quality Star V-type alloy armor is indeed a bit of a hindrance!!"

Secretly making up his mind, Song Chi quickly walked into the base.

Garrison the base in the Great Rift in the Hidden Valley and enslave the responsible department.

The middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at Song Chi, who looked calm.

"Coming from the tenth direct line, first-order fire captain, are you sure that the ship can accommodate the second-order Komoyin giant snake after enslavement?"

The middle-aged man's name is Song Xiao, a third-level Xinhuo Captain, a permanent staff member of the Hidden Valley Rift Base, and a member of the Third Lineage.

As for why he asked like this, the reason was simple.

Ordinary white and blue control parts cannot control the size of enslaved creatures. Only purple-level control parts can achieve a reduction of less than 20 times.

A smile appeared on Song Chi's face and he nodded gently.

Seeing this, Song Xiao didn't say anything more. He just reminded him out of good intentions. After all, the family had clearly stated that they would take care of him not long after the Tenth Line returned.

But having said that, he would naturally not interfere much with Song Chi's own choices.

"You want me to take action? Or should you try it yourself first?"

Song Chi responded quickly to this question.

"Trouble Grandpa Xiao."

Hearing this, Song Xiao nodded slightly.

Before coming, Song Chi checked the identities of several third-order tribesmen stationed in the Great Rift in the Hidden Valley. This Song Xiao was about the same age as his grandfather, so it was quite appropriate to call him grandfather.

Half an hour later, the Cangqiong rushed out of the large rift in the underground valley.

With Song Xiao, the third-level Xinhuo captain, Song Chi easily enslaved a second-level Komoyin giant snake with the [Slavery Medal].
