Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 177: Chapter 121: Promotion - Blue Torch Seed

However, what left Song Chi speechless was that before he even got to his third round of selection, the "Yin Wind Soldier Figurine Tree" component was preemptively picked by that guy, Song You.

With no other choice, Song Chi could only select another special component called "Blood Soul Stigma."

This component was of the tracking type and could mark living beings with a "Blood Soul Mark," thereby enabling tracking within a certain range.

Blood Soul Stigma lv0

Quality: Blue

Consumption: 200/instance (Spectral Energy Points)

Mark count: 3/3

Effect: Mark a specified target with a "Blood Soul Mark" and continuously sense the location of the Blood Soul Mark within a range of 0.5 light-years.

Requires no charge or buffer

UpRank Requirement: 5 threads of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 300 Spectral Energy Points, 5 Zero Rank Life Cores

This component's chances of being used were far lower compared to soldier figurine-type components. However, it was not without use. At certain critical moments, it could still play a significant role, which was why Song Chi chose it as a fallback.

There was not much to say about the white components that followed. Most of them were requisitioned from ordinary Star Thief Battleships and lacked any significant flair.

After distributing these, there was still a modest number of Floating Land Origins left.

The reason there was not much Floating Land Origin was, firstly, most Torch Ship Captains did not have the habit of retaining too much Floating Land Origin, and secondly, the surrendered or deceased Star Thief Gang members would not leave behind even a thread of Floating Land Origin.

When a Torch Warship sank, most components on it would be damaged beyond 90%, but there would still be a lucky 10 to 20% that survived. However, once the Torch Ship Captain perished, their Ancestral Torch would completely collapse and naturally, any Floating Land Origin stored within the Ancestral Torch could not be preserved.

The Floating Land Origins they had at hand were obtained from those surrendered Star Thief Gang members and were extremely scarce.

The Zero Rank Floating Land Origin was more abundant with over fifty thousand threads. The amount significantly decreased from the First Rank, with only eight hundred threads, less than three hundred for the Second Rank, just sixty-two threads for the Third Rank, and outright zero for the Fourth Rank.

In the end, Song Chi only received several thousand threads of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, fifty threads of First Rank, and none of the Second Rank, as those went directly to the elders like Song Chao and others.

Wealth in the Third Rank, naturally, landed in the hands of the patriarch and his eldest uncle, Song Shan.

After everything was distributed, everyone gradually left. With only one month remaining during their stay at White Tower Floating Land, they had to hurry to arrange various follow-up affairs.

Jiangyuan City, the Song Chi family had also started to deal with various matters after returning to the city.

"Dad, should we go to pick up Xiaoting now or wait a few days?"

After considering for a moment, Song Chao replied:

"Let's wait a bit longer, until we've dealt with the things at hand!"

"Alright!"

With his father's clear response, Song Chi nodded and then brought up another matter.

"Dad, Mom, I need to go out for a bit, it will probably take two or three days!"

"Go ahead!"

...

Outside White Tower Floating Land, accompanied by violent spatial fluctuations, Cang Qiong plunged into the space vortex ahead.

A day later, a standard Starry Sea shuttle landed in the docking zone of the Floating Fortress above Guangyuan Floating Land.

The combat robot clad in a black cloak made its way toward the shopping district of the fortress.

It was the same familiar secluded street. When he saw the open doors of the Chenxing Multifunctional Shop through the Brainwave Beacon, Song Chi, billions of kilometers away, couldn't help but sigh with relief. Discover more stories at ???

However, he quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart. Although the shop door was open, it was not certain that the other party had really left behind that "Senbai Bone Flame."

With trepidation, he controlled the combat robot to step into the shop.

The shop's style was as familiar as ever, with a wide variety of products and strict categorization, giving a comfortable first impression.

Seeing this familiar style, Song Chi felt slightly more assured. He stepped up to the counter and, at the same time, the Communication Bracelet on the robot's wrist projected a line of text.

"Hello, has the previous owner already left?"

Behind the counter, a somewhat young-looking girl stood up, glanced at the projected text, and meticulously studied the black cloak on the combat robot a few times as if confirming something.

After a few seconds, she tentatively said:

"Are you here for the 'Senbai Bone Flame'?"

Hearing her direct approach and thinking about the black cloak draped over the robot, as well as the familiar method of communicating with projected text used in the previous visits, Song Chi could imagine the smirk on the face of the woman who must have described these characteristics to the girl in front of her.

Inside Cangqiong, Song Chi coughed awkwardly twice before continuing to control the robot to respond:

"Yes!"

As the word "Yes" popped up on the communication text, Song Chi's heart surged with excitement. The thought of the Senbai Bone Flame enhancing the quality of his Seed of Torch made his heart race uncontrollably.

However, the next words spoken by the girl behind the counter caught him off guard.

"It's good you're here. Before the boss left, she emphasized that if you were to come later for the trade of the Senbai Bone Flame, you'd have to personally appear and use that Communication Bracelet to verify with her directly, otherwise, no deal!"
