Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 132: Chapter 99: [Torch Warship Boarding Certificate]

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Guangyuan Floating Land, Floating Fortress, Chenxing Multi-function Shop.

Song Chi kept his promise and returned to the shop once again, only this time, without the Brainwave Remote Control System component, he had to come in person.

Of course, he didn't assume the woman was kind-hearted enough not to lay hands on him, but he came prepared.

As he walked through the shop's gate, a rough voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Alright, I won't go in then!"

Though the old man's voice was loud, the vigilance in the depths of his eyes didn't weaken in the slightest. He stayed by the entrance as a precaution in case there were any traps laid out inside the shop.

After all, Song Chi had made it clear to him that the likely owner behind this shop was a Third Rank Torch Captain, a veteran one at that.

As Song Chi turned around, the old man added a sentence.

"Don't go further than twenty meters from this door, or Grandpa will have trouble rescuing you in time!"

Song Chi nodded solemnly.

Indeed, the comprehensive preparation he spoke of was none other than his grandfather, "Song Mingsong."

He had no choice; after considering all options for ten days, he couldn't come up with a perfect plan that would ensure his safety while facing a Third Rank Torch Captain, so he had to turn to his grandfather for help.

Luckily, a few days ago, his grandfather had just returned from an exploration mission in the Alien Star Domain and would be relatively free for the next twenty days.

Under Song Mingsong's earnest gaze, Song Chi stepped into the shop. However, to Song Mingsong's irritation, Song Chi stopped completely after advancing only three meters without any intention of moving further.

As for Song Chi's thought at that moment, there was but one.

"Stay away from the door by twenty meters? Grandpa, you don't seem to take your grandson's life seriously!!"

In the distance behind the counter, the woman whose complexion had already recovered her rosiness chuckled and shook her head. Knowing Song Chi's caution, she didn't take it to heart, her cheeks still adorned with a gentle smile.

What Song Chi didn't catch was the flicker of concealed surprise in her eyes as they inadvertently swept over Song Mingsong, who was also wearing a black cloak at the doorway.

She could sense an indistinct threat emanating from Song Mingsong, and in this border Star Domain, it wasn't normal for another Torch Captain of the same rank to make her feel significantly threatened.

For a moment, her curiosity about Song Chi intensified.

Click, click, click!

The crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor grew louder as the woman approached Song Chi, who was clad in a black robe.

At some point, her originally black pupils had turned light green, and Song Chi felt a chill all over his body as though he was completely exposed before the woman's gaze.

In an urgent response, a surge of Spectral Energy burst forth from Song Mingsong behind him, wrapping around Song Chi and blocking the woman's invasive look.

Not until then did Song Chi feel he was back to normal. Underneath the hood of his cloak, he lifted his eyes to look directly at the woman in front of him.

But he didn't get angry, as he could sense that the woman had no malice, she was simply trying to see through his disguise.

In simple terms, she wanted to ascertain Song Chi's true identity.

The woman pouted her red lips, losing interest, and waved her hand to withdraw the strange green glow from her eyes. Then, with a flash of Ghost Light between her eyebrows, she produced the Brainwave Remote Control System component.

Seeing this, Song Chi also began the same process, somewhat reluctantly returning the Senbai Bone Flame to the woman.

Seemingly noticing his reluctance, the woman casually put away the strand of Senbai Bone Flame while softly saying:

"Sister will be leaving Guangyuan Floating Land soon. However, this strand of Senbai Bone Flame will stay in the shop. If you bring something of the same Quality to trade within two years, this strand of Senbai Bone Flame will naturally be yours!"

Having said that, she didn't wait for Song Chi's reaction, turned around, and gestured behind her, a sign that it was time for him to leave.

Underneath the long cloak, Song Chi's eyes narrowed slightly, but in the end, he said nothing further and turned to walk towards his grandfather.

Whether the woman's words were true or not, he had, by lending that component for ten days, obtained a Top Rank Blue Quality group attack Secondary Cannon, which was undeniably real. Even if she ran off with the Senbai Bone Flame later, he wouldn't be at a loss, missing at most the chance to obtain a strand of Top Rank Purple Fire Source UpRank.

Just before leaving the shop, an all-black Communication Bracelet was sent to him by the woman's emissary.

According to the sender, this Communication Bracelet was a one-way device that could only send messages to a specific kind of bracelet like itself, with no risks of eavesdropping or message leakage. If Song Chi ever visited the Duchy Capital Star Domain, he could use the bracelet to contact the woman.

No sooner had Song Chi taken the bracelet than Song Mingsong's hand quickly reached over from his side.

After examining the bracelet for a while, upon reaching the Floating Fortress Dock Area and summoning the Furious Lion, Song Mingsong went onboard the warship, seemingly using a special Component to inspect the Communication Bracelet.

Two minutes later, the bracelet was tossed out of the warship and quickly caught by Song Chi, who understood the implication.
