Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 176: Chapter 120: Spoils of War - Distribution_2

```

There was no way around it; the spoils of this mission were substantial indeed. Beyond the ship components collected from the fleet of Torch Warships belonging to the Star Pirates, as well as an assortment of various resources, the items scavenged from the rooms of the Star Pirates' den were already quite a lot.

About a dozen people quickly set to work, clearing out the valueless items one by one, and after half an hour, a large portion of the hall was finally empty.

Now, looking at the pile of spoils in the center, they seemed much more striking.

Because among these, over ninety percent were either ship components or Starry Sea Oddities. Even those that weren't oddities were mostly rare and valuable resources that the Star Pirates had hoarded for themselves, like Space Solidification Stones and Phantom Crystals, and even Song Chi spotted the presence of Titanium Crystals and Void Crystals among them.

Although there were only a few pieces of each, this also indirectly highlighted the value of this small pile of spoils.

Seeing a glint in the eyes of his grandsons, Song Mingsong didn't dawdle any longer.

"Alright, let's begin the distribution of the spoils..."

But he had scarcely started speaking when his tone changed.

"However, before we do that, we need to list the contribution ranking for this mission. The one with the highest contribution gets to choose first, followed by the second, then the third. After one round, the second round continues in the same order."

Hearing this method of distribution, everyone nodded in agreement.

"First and second place go without saying; it is I and the boss. As for the third..."

At this point, Song Mingsong paused, garnering a series of eye rolls from the crowd, but it also piqued everyone's curiosity.

Among the spoils before them, there were 18 Purple Quality relics, just enough for the top three to make two rounds of choices. Hence the position of the third place was quite important.

Song Mingsong's gaze swept through the living room, eventually landing on Song Chi.

Upon witnessing this, everyone except for Song Mingsong and Song Shan, including Song Chi himself, was somewhat prepared, while the other twelve showed surprise, even Song Chao and Chen Lixia felt the same.

Although the couple had long known that their son had experienced no small adventures, and that his flagship's combat power far surpassed that of other Torch Warships of the same rank, they wouldn't have believed that he could have achieved the third-highest contribution in the previous battle involving the Escort Ships and Cruisers.

"During the fight with Blood Blade, Little Chi's critical strike saved my Mountain from sinking, and it was the key to Dad and me being able to defeat them!"

Hearing Song Shan's explanation, everyone came to a sudden realization, easily picturing the peril of that battle just from his brief mention.

Seeing no objections, the selection officially began.

The first to choose, Song Mingsong, opted for a Purple Quality special "Yuejin Ram Horn" component, which was salvaged from the sunken Blood Blade. It was also the culprit that had almost sunk Mountain.

As for Blood Blade, Song Mingsong was still grinding his teeth at the memory. Even after self-destructing, it had left behind seven components, six of which were Purple Components. If not for this, there wouldn't have been as many as 18 Purple Relics among the spoils.

This also fully demonstrated just how magnificent the loaded components were on the Blood Blade when it was intact; yet, it had chosen to scuttle, destroying eight to nine-tenths of its components. Even the Orange Quality Energy Shield couldn't be salvaged, which was the most infuriating part.

Yuejin Ram Horn lv0

Quality: Purple

Feature: Armor Break boosted by an extra 50%

Consumption: 12/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Effect: Adds a Yuejin Ram Horn that can be retracted or extended on the bow of the ship, increasing resilience by +200, Armor Break by +300.

No Charge or Buffer needed

UpRank Requirement: 8 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank), 500 Spectral Energy Points, 100kg of Yuejin Metal

Honestly, this Yuejin Ram Horn was indeed a rather rare special component, but for Song Chi, it wasn't very appealing. Its primary function was to enhance the destructive power during head-on collisions between warships.

For someone who always took a cautious approach, like him, it was hard to imagine maneuvering Cang Qiong to perform such risky maneuvers.

However, considering Grandpa's fiery temperament, it wasn't surprising that he chose that component.

Following Song Mingsong, it was Uncle Song Shan's turn. His choice was simple: a purple-quality secondary cannon, likely intended for the newly promoted Mountain.

When it came to Song Chi's turn, everyone was curious about what he would pick, as there were still many good purple components left.

[White Oak Hull Armor][Plasma Cutter Cannon][Half-Serpent Soldier Figurine Tree][Silver Space Jump Device][Particle Collision Energy Shield Generator], among others, were all excellent purple components.

However, Song Chi's final choice was somewhat unexpected. Instead of lingering on the other purple components, he selected a relatively unpopular special component, the [Phantom Thruster].

Phantom Thruster lv0

Feature: Phantom Trace

Consumption: 8/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Effect: Increases thrust by 50%, improving the warship's speed by 50%.

UpRank Requirement: 8 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank), 800 Spectral Energy Points, 50 kg of Phantom Crystal

{Phantom Trace: Consumes 200 Spectral Energy Points, after a 30s charge, the thruster enters overdrive, allowing the warship to perform an extreme dash in the specified direction at 500% speed for 5s. During the dash, three consistent phantoms of the warship will be generated around it, confounding enemy units.}

The reason for choosing this component was not only due to its potential to further enhance the flexibility of the warship but also because of its active feature, "Phantom Trace," an excellent capability for retreat.

This was particularly true when the warship was surrounded, making it an exceptional skill for breaking through encirclements.

Also, among the purple components available, there was no radar, or else he would have had a hard decision to make.

After a slight surprise, the fourth to choose was Grandmother Bai Xiuqin, who selected the [White Oak Hull Armor].

Her flagship, "Sky Zither," would embark on an upgrading mission upon its return to the family, inevitably heading into the Alien Star Domain battlefield to fight, which would increase the success rate of the warship's promotion. Hence, a high-quality hull armor was the best choice.

Of course, if "Sky Zither" hadn't already been equipped with a purple-quality energy shield and main cannon, her first choice would certainly have been the [Particle Collision Energy Shield Generator] or [Plasma Cutter Cannon].

Subsequently, the [Particle Collision Energy Shield Generator] ended up with Dad Song Chao, and the [Plasma Cutter Cannon] was taken by the second uncle.

Mom Chen Lixia got the [Half-Serpent Soldier Figurine Tree] component; overall, the entire family managed to pick something satisfactory.

When it came to the second round of choices, only three purple items remained.

Among these three items, two were Starry Sea Oddities that could not be converted into shipborne components, and the last one was a shipborne main cannon, the [Long-Range Cannon].

Grandpa and Uncle, who had chosen before, picked the two Starry Sea Oddities, evidently leaving the [Long-Range Cannon] for Song Chi.

Song Chi actually wanted to reject it because those two purple relics would only sell for half their value in Grandpa and Uncle's hands, whereas he could get the full price if sold at the Ruins Market.

However, after giving it some thought, he remembered that the woman from the Chenxing multi-purpose shop had left a "Senbai Bone Flame" for him to exchange, which might require the [Long-Range Cannon].

Furthermore, after Mom's Dragonfly was promoted to Second Rank, Dad had specially requested a purple main cannon from Grandpa, so she didn't need this [Long-Range Cannon].

Thinking this, he didn't say much and just took the [Long-Range Cannon].

His reasoning was simple: if the woman hadn't left the "Senbai Bone Flame" for him, he could always exchange the [Long-Range Cannon] with Grandpa and Uncle later.

After distributing the purple components, it was time for the blue components.

These blue components were numerous, totaling thirty pieces, including quite a few exceptional items.

Song Chi showed interest in one called [Yinfeng Soldier Figurine Tree], whose summoned Yinfeng Soldier Figurines wielded special corrosive Yin Wind power, extremely tyrannical, with a respectable upper limit.
