Global Era of Star Trekking

In the chaotic void space, a wisp of light blue Fire Seed floated, and revolving around this seemingly eternal blue flame, a miniature battleship model continuously orbited the Fire Seed.

Beyond that, there were five clusters of light of varying sizes that also revolved around the blue Fire Seed along with the battleship model. These five clusters of light corresponded to Zero Rank, First Rank, Second Rank, Third Rank, and Fourth Rank Floating Land Origins.

Last of all was the newly acquired “Starry Sea Ruin Market Rank.” seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It, too, revolved around the Seed of Torch, just like the other six items.

Seeing this scene, Song Chi couldn’t help but nod to himself; in this way, unless he, the founder of the Ancestral Torch, voluntarily allowed it, there would be no outsider able to forcibly take this Starry Sea Ruin Market Rank from him.

After observing for a moment, Spectral Energy surged in the Ancestral Aperture Space, and under Song Chi’s control, a wisp of Spectral Energy actively entered into the floating Starry Sea Ruin Market Rank.

Then, Song Chi felt a change in the space around him, and when he came back to himself, he was already in his personal bedroom in the outside world.

Weng weng weng!

As soon as he appeared in the bedroom, the unread message alerts displayed on his Quantum Communication Bracelet made Song Chi’s eyes light up.

After activating the bracelet, he opened a few unread messages, and Song Chi thought to himself, as expected.

“Are you there? Can we discuss further the transaction price of the Deep Water Clam Pearls?”

“Cousin, do you have time to meet and talk?”

“Aside from the 300 and 500-year-old ones, do you have any of a higher age?”

…

Without exception, these messages were all inquiring about the Deep Water Clam Pearls.

This goes back a few days when, after waking from deep sleep and before attempting to break through to Second Rank at the Ruins Market, Song Chi had a sudden idea to list the remaining 30 three-hundred-year-old and 10 five-hundred-year-old Deep Water Clam Pearls on the family’s chat channel.

Originally, Song Chi had intended to save these pearls for Song Ting, Song You, and Song Wen, since he wouldn’t be using them himself, but after his visit to the Merit Hall, with his mind fixed on collecting 90 Golden Merit Points within three months, he could not be bothered with other concerns.

He had listed the three-hundred-year-old Deep Water Clam Pearls at 10 for 1 Golden Merit Point, and the five-hundred-year-old ones at 5 for 1 Golden Merit Point.

After listing them, he had been worried that the price might be a bit steep, but now it seemed just right.

Opening messages from those who were genuinely interested in purchasing, Song Chi replied to each one.

The content of his responses was essentially the same, setting a place to discuss in person.

He set the meeting place as Green Moon Manor; after all, the information on the family exchange channel already showed that he, the poster, was a member of the Tenth Direct Vein, so there was nothing to conceal.

A day later, several family members arrived one after another, and Song Chi successfully sold all 40 of the clam pearls.

Mhm, that resulted in an income of 5 Golden Merit Points.

Looking at the 35 Golden Merit Points in his personal account, Song Chi nodded with satisfaction.

The next day, he left Green Moon Manor again to go to Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain.

This time, it was not to the Merit Hall but to the Floating Land Origin Marketplace operated by the family’s Internal Affairs Hall.

The family had its own unique Merit System, and naturally, there was an ordinary marketplace for trading and exchanging Merit Points, aimed at Floating Land Origins.

However, compared to the bustling scene at Merit Tower, this Floating Land Origin Marketplace was quite inferior, as it sold only ordinary machines, mineral resources, daily food, fresh water, and other supplies.

Entering the store that spanned tens of thousands of square meters, Song Chi’s goal was clear, and he headed straight for the large machinery equipment area.

He intended to buy only two things on this visit.

Floating Land Mining Cart and Interstellar Mining Ship.

These were for the two mining teams in the Asteroid Belt; currently, each team had only 10 Furious Tiger Mining Carts and one Interstellar Mining Ship responsible for transporting the mining carts to designated asteroids, which seemed rather modest.

For an Asteroid Belt extending over 20 light-years, even thousands of mining carts and ships mining simultaneously would take countless years, so Song Chi naturally wouldn’t hesitate to make an upfront investment.

In the large machinery equipment area, an ordinary female clan member with an attractive figure respectfully asked.

“M’lord, which model of mining cart do you require, and how many would you like?”

Having already considered this question, Song Chi did not hesitate.

“Twenty Furious Tiger Mining Carts model ① and four standard civilian Interstellar Mining Ships. Also, prepare ten tons of daily necessities for me, including food and fresh water.”

Ignoring the surprised look of the sales assistant next to him, Song Chi actually thought that this was not enough. It would be completely possible for Soul Master Da and Soul Master Er to allocate hundreds of mining carts and more than ten Interstellar Mining Ships.

However, the Cang Qiong was only an Escort Ship, and its 120-meter long hull could only carry so much at a time; buying too much wouldn’t make sense.

After one trip, Song Chi quickly left, having spent a total of eleven thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.

Of course, that was not the end of it.

The next day, he came again to purchase the same quantity of Furious Tiger Mining Carts and Interstellar Mining Ships.

Regarding the batch from yesterday, he had already placed them in the Ruins Market.

After purchasing this batch, Song Chi did not continue. This kind of shopping information couldn’t be concealed from the Inspection Hall; buying twice in a row was fine, but further purchases might attract attention.
