Chapter 64: Chapter 64: New Feature of the First Rank Ruins Market – [Spatial Anchor Points]

Phew!

Suppressing the joy and excitement in his heart, Song Chi continued to examine the other changes in the Ruins Market.

Still in the basic configuration section, after experiencing the inn’s brand new functions, Song Chi’s attention shifted to the All-Attributes Cultivation Room and the Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform.

Like the Spectral Energy Protective Array before, even though their levels hadn’t changed and were still lv9, the effects of these two configurations had also improved to a certain extent.

The original lv9 All-Attributes Cultivation Room provided a 580% boost to spectral energy cultivation, but now it had become 700%, far surpassing the spectral energy cultivation platforms of the same level.

As for the Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform, its duration and buffer times hadn’t changed; only the number of Spatial Gates deployed each time increased from 19 to 23.

It might seem like only 4 extra gates, but this was already the lv9 platform, and next, Song Chi was going to further enhance it.

The lv9 All-Attributes Cultivation Room and the Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform both had the same UpRank Requirements to advance: not only did the Ruins Market itself have to reach lv10, but they also needed 150 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.

Taking out 300 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi successively upgraded both to lv10.

[Name: All-Attributes Cultivation Room]

[Level: lv10]

[Effect: When First Rank beings cultivate in the Cultivation Room, their cultivation speed increases by 480%. When the cultivator engages in spectral energy cultivation, the speed increases by 960%.]

…

[UpRank Requirement: Ruins Market level lv11, 25 strands of Floating Land Origin (First Rank)]

————

[Name: Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform]

[Level: lv10]

[Effect: Once activated, it randomly deploys 36 Spatial Gates throughout the Shattered Starry Sea that allow entrance and exit to the Ruins Market, with each Spatial Gate lasting for 24 hours and a buffer of 720 hours.]

…

[UpRank Requirement: Ruins Market level lv11, 25 strands of Floating Land Origin (First Rank)]

The enhancement of the All-Attributes Cultivation Room to the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique had reached a staggering 960%, and the number of Spatial Gates the Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform could deploy had increased to 36.

Seeing these two sets of data, Song Chi finally closed the attribute panel in front of him with satisfaction. His gaze then shifted downward, eventually settling on the newly appeared “Feature”.

There wasn’t much to say about the additional configurations section, which still remained empty, with only two more slots available.

Song Chi had previously tested that these extra configuration slots could accommodate all the special components compatible with the Torch Warship, but he currently didn’t have any spares.

Moreover, because of the “Averting Misfortune” feature, he hadn’t thought he needed to equip anything previously. But after the incident with the Void Demons, special components that could either clear negative states or conceal anomalies in the Ruins Market had been added to his list of items to search for urgently.

With his gaze lingering, the detailed attributes of the newly emerged “Spatial Anchor Point” feature quickly surfaced in front of Song Chi.

[Feature {Spatial Anchor Point}: Designate a specific coordinate in the actual Starry Sea as the anchor point for Zhu Tian Ruins Market. Subsequently, as long as this anchor point is activated, no matter where the Ruins Market owner enters the Ruins Market from, upon leaving they will only appear at the anchor point’s coordinates.]

Song Chi’s eyes lit up again; the effect of this Spatial Anchor Point feature was simple: it provided a precise transport coordinate for Zhu Tian Ruins Market. As long as this coordinate was activated, no matter from where you entered the Ruins Market, you could use this transport coordinate to leave.

This might still be hard to understand, so let’s use a simple example.

If Song Chi were to set this Spatial Anchor Point in his own bedroom, then even if he was in a far-off Alien Star Domain, as long as he entered the Ruins Market, he could choose to actively trigger this anchor point. This would allow the anchor point set in his bedroom to serve as his returning point after leaving the Ruins Market.

In doing so, he wouldn’t even need to use the Spectral Airship’s own return function to effortlessly return home from the distant Alien Star Domain.

After completely understanding this Spatial Anchor Point feature, the first use that came to Song Chi’s mind wasn’t related to deploying it in the Alien Star Domain, but instead, he wanted to use this special function to assist his subsequent shipments.

His haul from the Alien Star Domain always surpassed that of an average person, but because he was afraid of exposing Zhu Tian Ruins Market, he could only sell most of his haul at 65% of market price through the black market, almost halving his profits. This had always greatly annoyed Song Chi—why should he let people take a 35% cut for free from the resources he painstakingly brought back from the Alien Star Domain?

In contrast, if he sold through a regular store and had a substantial quantity of resources, it wouldn’t be a problem to push the purchase price to 90% of market value, which was much more economical than selling on the black market.

However, this would involve the risk of exposing his identity.

It was because of this limitation that he had reluctantly chosen the black market channel previously.

But now things were different. With the new Spatial Anchor Point feature, as long as he set the anchor point coordinates in his own bedroom, all these problems could be practically solved.

By concealing his identity and selling the haul to regular stores, then entering the Ruins Market from a deserted place with his earnings and subsequently returning directly home through the Spatial Anchor Point—just like that, it was simple. Even if someone took notice or followed him, they’d have no starting point for their investigation.

The more Song Chi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. It just so happened that a recent Ruins Market trade had left him with a stockpile of differential resources, perfect for a trial run. If it proved viable, the over a thousand Void Crystals could also be sold without a trace.

Thinking about the Floating Land Origins he could obtain after selling more than a thousand Void Crystals, Song Chi even anticipated the scene of enhancing the “Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator” component all the way to Second Rank—the very thought was exhilarating.

With the current lv15 Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator component already being so impressive, once it reached Second Rank, it would undoubtedly become even more formidable.

Putting thoughts into action, Song Chi quickly scanned the remaining sections of the Ruins Market attribute panel and finally paused for a moment on the UpRank Requirement section.

To upgrade from Ruins Market lv10 to lv11, while the requirement of 50 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin was manageable—as once the Void Crystals were sold, there would be plenty of First Rank Floating Land Origin—the difficult part was the trading volume of 100,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.

As trades didn’t account for bartering, the total trading volume from the previous three transactions hadn’t even reached ninety thousand. To continue increasing the level of the Ruins Market, he would have to wait until after the next market trade.

Song Chi wasn’t in a rush. The priority was to find a way to acquire the special components that could clear negative states and to dispose of the differential resources and Void Crystals as soon as possible.

The level of the Ruins Market itself could be raised later, but if the “Demon Mark” issue wasn’t resolved promptly, there might not be a future for Zhu Tian Ruins Market at all.
