National Star Sea Era

Dinghai Star Territory Space Gate Transfer Base Station, eleven space portals distributed in a ring occupy most of the space inside the entire spherical base station.

Each of them has a width and height of more than one million meters, which is enough to accommodate 10,000 fire warships to teleport at the same time.

On this day, the teleportation gate connecting the Golden Lion Star Territory began to flicker with a faint light, and the next teleportation was about to begin.

In the distance, in the main control room of a more than 20-meter-long nether energy airship, the little girl pointed to several fire warships in the corners of the projected light screen image in front, and said to her grandfather:

"Grandpa, didn't those Fire Battleships come with us yesterday? Why can they teleport directly but we have to wait eight days?"

Hearing this, the nearly 150-year-old man with white hair smiled and shook his head:

"They are all important figures of the Dinghai Song Clan, and this Dinghai Song Clan is the leader of the entire Dinghai Star Territory."

As the old man spoke, the space door in front was completely shrouded in light, followed by violent space fluctuations.

When the light dissipated again, nearly 10,000 battleships within the space gate had completely disappeared.

…

In the Golden Lion Star Territory, in the dark starry sky, a small fleet was moving forward at great speed.

"We're almost there. In a few dozen light years, we can reach the Golden Moon Star Region."

Uncle Song Shan's voice sounded in the group chat.

Because they are not far apart and are within the range of the battleship's magnetic wave field, the group of people is naturally connected to communications at all times.

At this time, the voice of the old man Song Mingsong also sounded.

"Has the buffering of the jump device been completed? If everything is ready, let's start the jump!"

After a while, the nine battleships launched a space jump almost at the same time.

In the Golden Moon Star District, the Golden Moon floats on the land.

As a Class ① life-type floating land, and it is not a strategic location, the border floating land, etc., compared to the White Tower Floating Land, the Golden Moon Floating Land looks particularly shabby.

Although there are more than ten city clusters on the entire floating land, there are not many high-level Xinhuo captains, and it can even be said to be pitiful.

There are only a few second-level Xinhuo captains on the entire floating land, and not even a third-level captain can be seen, let alone a fourth-level deer-chasing ship like the White Tower Floating Land.

The arrival of Song Chi and his party was an earth-shattering event for the entire floating continent. They had just landed on the outskirts of one of the cities called Hongye City when five local second-tier fire battleships rushed over.

Not only were the group arranged for the highest local hotel in Hongye City, but they were also invited to various banquets for fear of being neglected.

In the end, Grandpa directly scolded these people and drove them away. However, instead of showing ugly expressions, these people seemed to heave a sigh of relief and left one after another with smiles on their faces.

Song Chi, who witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, did not show any surprise or curiosity. This is the interstellar era, not the previous Blue Star.

The so-called saying that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake does not exist here.

In a civilized society where the disguised power of humanity belongs to itself, the rank of the battleship means everything.

As long as you don't massacre ordinary citizens, as long as you don't go too far, like killing a few local second-level Xinhuo captains if a Tier 3 Xinhuo battleship is unhappy, let alone the official Xinhuo human civilization, even those directly affiliated with it The people above the Principality of Morning Star will basically not care about it.

Therefore, the behavior of these local second-level Xinhuo captains is completely reasonable.

At the hotel, Song Chi did not go to the underground battleship summoning room to enter the market to practice the Guidance Technique. He heard from his grandfather that the Bai family should arrive in two days, and he had no intention of rushing for a day or two. .

In his private room, he closed his eyes slightly, and his mind sank into the Xinhuo Ancestral Aperture and began to communicate with the Xinhuo Seed, linking to the Golden Moon Floating Land LAN.

As soon as I connected to the Xinhuo network, a familiar prompt sounded in my ears.

The first sentence is still the familiar "Welcome to Xinhuo Network".

The second sentence after that is sixteen words.

[The journey to the sea of ​​stars is long and difficult, but the fire of civilization will never end. 】

The next step was to remind him that what he was connected to was the Huanjinyue Floating Land LAN.

[Dear Captain of the Sky, you are now connected to the Golden Moon Floating Land LAN. 】

Song Chi narrowed his eyes when he heard the horoscope of "Golden Moon Floating Land LAN".

It is said that after being promoted to the third level, you can connect to the intermediate LAN of the entire star field, and if you reach the fourth level, you can directly connect to the high-level LAN of the entire Morning Star Principality. To be honest, he is looking forward to it.

After a brief pause, he successfully logged into the "Huan Jin Yue Floating Land LAN". The first thing that appeared in front of him was the general communication channel of the entire "Huan Jin Yue Floating Land Floating Land" Xinhuo Captain.

But the content currently discussed in this channel made Song Chi's mouth twitch.

"{Loess}: I guess it's a big shot from the principality's capital star region, two cruisers, seven frigates, the formation is scary!"

"{Coyote}: I'm ashamed to say it. This is the first time I've seen a cruiser-level battleship in real life. It's worthy of being able to suppress a low-level floating land with one ship. The feeling of oppression is really amazing. ”

"{Lao Wanghao}: But what is the purpose of such a big man coming to a small place like ours? Could it be that there are some high-level strange objects appearing around our Golden Moon Floating Continent? Shocking JPG."

…

Song Chi had no interest in these useless words. After closing the chat channel, he opened the Xinhuo Mall on the LAN.

Not surprisingly, it is basically impossible to find any good things on this level 1 floating land. There are no purple rare objects. The highest ones are just a few blue quality parts, and then there are a lot of white parts, but there are no What could make Song Chi's eyes light up?

Ten minutes later, Song Chi clicked on the forum panel again.

Enter the four keywords "ship parts" and click search.

He didn't have much hope at first, but after searching, a post actually popped up that interested him.

The post is about a blue quality ship-based component. It is not a very popular one, but it is a very popular ship-based component.

"It's actually the [Manned Certificate of the Xinhuo Battleship]?"

Song Chi, who was greatly surprised, hurriedly clicked on the post and scrolled all the way to the bottom.

The latest reply date of the poster was the afternoon of yesterday. Judging from his tone, it seems that this part has not been traded yet.

Seeing this, he quickly sent his own inquiry message.

"Do you still have this part? If so, can you interview me?"

It was no secret that he wanted a manned component.

Components like [Xinhuo Battleship Manned Certificate] are relatively common and appear very frequently, but their popularity is also far beyond ordinary. After all, basically any Xinhuo Captain will think about the ship here. It is equipped with such a component.

This also made him make many purchases, but he has yet to gain anything.

Now that he had encountered this by chance, he was naturally a little excited.

The captain of the battleship named "Mung Bean" seemed to be online just now. Not long after his inquiry message was sent, a reply came quickly.

"Yes, if I have an interview, can I go to Nanxiang City?"

For this location, Songchi is perfect. Nanxiang City is also a city on the Golden Moon Floating Land, not far from Hongye City.

"Okay, let's go to the northern suburbs of Nanxiang City at three o'clock this afternoon!"

…

Nanxiang City, western suburbs, Baihua Street.

Baihua Street is a famous slum in Nanxiang City. The environment here is harsh and the security is extremely poor. Only people with little savings will live here.

Deep in a remote alley of Baihua Street, there are several tents built with some discarded materials, and several families live here.

A hoarse voice sounded from one of the tents.

"Have you made an appointment to interview again?"

After this hoarse voice, a weak female voice sounded immediately.

"Well, we can definitely trade this time. Mom, wait for me at home. I'll be back soon!"

After finishing speaking, a rag in front of the tent was lifted, and then a thin and slender figure emerged from it.

After the girl left along the dirty alley, a hoarse voice came from the tent again.

"Silly girl, how can a blue component be exchanged for one hundred thousand strands of zero-order floating land source, unless...ahem!"

Before he finished speaking, a violent cough sounded, which also brought an abrupt end to the hoarse words.

Nanxiang City, northern suburbs.

This is a small park, and Song Chi took a stroll in the park shortly after arriving.

For a long time, apart from exploring alien star fields, his life was almost all about cultivation.

Practice the art of guidance and visualize the projected rubbings of the mythical mecha.

Full of training tasks filled his daily life, making it difficult for him to have time to relax like now.

He came here once in a while, and he really enjoyed it.

This feeling of relaxation from body to heart made him instinctively think of a figure, a figure that had been hidden in his heart and tried not to miss him.

As he thought about it, a poem from his previous life appeared in his mind involuntarily.

There is someone I miss, far away in the country.

My hometown is far away and I can't go there without looking at it every day.

…

"It's been almost a year and a half. I don't know how that girl is doing now..."

When he first arrived at the Song family, he was unfamiliar with the place and there was no way for him to inquire about the affairs on a level 1 floating land across tens of thousands of light years. It was not until many clan members from the Tenth Line came to join him that he Only then did a special trip to the White Tower Floating Land be made.

It turned out that Shen Youran and his family had moved away from the White Tower Floating Continent, and seemed to have gone to the Star Territory, the capital of the principality.

But the good thing is that the tribesmen below learned from the Xinhuo Academy in Jiangyuan City that Shen Youran had successfully awakened the Xinhuo Seed, and the quality seemed to be not low.

For a moment, Song Chi was in a state of mind.

However, the sudden trembling from the Fire Seed in his mind brought him back to reality. The captain of the Mung Bean was contacting him.

A few minutes later, Song Chi successfully found the other party at the entrance of the park.

When he saw the opponent's thin figure for the first time, Song Chi was a little unsure. After all, how could Captain Xinhuo, who was able to take out a piece of blue parts for trade, make himself look like this?

It wasn't until the other party took the initiative to reveal his identity later that he was finally sure.

"One hundred thousand strands of zero-level floating land origin?"

The moment the other party made the offer, Song Chi frowned.

The first thought in my mind is that the other party has no intention of trading at all.

The market price of an ordinary blue component is usually around 15,000 strands of the zero-order floating land source. Even if this [Xinhuo Battleship Manned Certificate] is extremely popular, more than 30,000 strands of the zero-order floating land source are worth the price. There is no way it can reach the price of 100,000 rays.

Unless the other party doesn’t want to sell at all!

After having this speculation, he was not prepared to talk to the other party anymore, and turned around to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the thin girl was a little flustered. She hurriedly spoke again, but now there was a subtle vibrato in her voice.

Song Chi, who was already at the second level of Daoyin Technique, had such keen hearing that he could naturally tell that the girl was trying her best to control herself from sobbing.

"It's not like you're asking for a high price. My mother is seriously ill and needs 100,000 strands of zero-level Floating Land Origin Origin's high-level treatment potion to be completely cured. If you think the price is too high, we can continue to talk..."

Song Chi paused.

Instead of rushing to bargain with the other party, he took the initiative to see the so-called seriously ill mother behind him.

Half an hour later, Baihua Street in the western suburbs of Nanxiang City.

Following the girl, the two of them walked through the dirty and remote alleys.

At this point, Song Chi was basically sure that what the other party said before was not false.

And after seeing the seriously ill mother mentioned by the other party, and confirming that the true feelings between the two of them were not disguised, he was completely convinced.

After thinking for a while, he gave the highest price in his heart.

"Forty thousand strands of zero-order floating land origin, if you can accept it, let's trade it!"

Although there is some sympathy, Song Chi is not really going to be taken advantage of just because he sympathizes with the other party.

The 40,000 strands of zero-level Floating Land Origin were about a few thousand strands higher than the [Xinhuo Battleship Manned Certificate] at the normal market price, which could be regarded as paying for the little sympathy in my heart.

Hearing his serious tone, the girl opposite thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Song Chi handed the 40,000 strands of the zero-order Floating Land Origin to the other party's hand. While taking the [Xinhuo Battleship Manned Certificate] component, he softly said to the thin girl in front of him:

"If I read it correctly, your mother should be suffering from a special spore infection, which requires a one-time medicine to cure the disease. It would be best to wait until you collect 100,000 strands of the zero-order floating land source, and then go directly to buy advanced treatment potions. , don’t use intermediate treatment potions for relief, that’s useless!”

After saying that, he turned around and left the tent.

In the tent, the thin girl turned around and looked at the middle-aged woman inside. The middle-aged woman hesitated for a while, then remembered Song Chi's last instructions and his willingness to take out 40,000 strands of zero-order Fu Lu Benyuan came to exchange at a premium, and she finally nodded lightly.

"Please wait!"

The weak voice coming from behind made Song Chi pause again. He turned his head and looked back. His heart skipped a beat the next second.

He saw a ray of shining purple light in the girl behind him who took the initiative to open her eyebrows.

"Purple wonder?"
