Novel Full Chapter 191 Harvest and the [Void Escape Orb]_2
“`
It was precisely because he had calculated this that Song Chi released the “Deep Space Magic Energy Bombing Drones” without hesitation, otherwise he would not have been willing to part with the 100 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin each drone required.
Boom, boom, boom!
Under the fierce explosion and shock, the injuries on the three Half-Step Fourth Rank humanoid alien races deepened by a considerable margin.
The Magic Energy Bombing Drones produced by the Silver Goblin Empire had the conventional might of a Third Rank, and they were far from ordinary drones.
However, that was all they could do. After all, in the more than two hundred years of exploring those warship wrecks and this ancient space battlefield, these Alien Races had not come away empty-handed.
For instance, the one controlled by the “Enslavement Medal,” wore a “Black Gold Armor,” a defense-type Purple Relic, and naturally, the remaining three Alien Species each had their own trump cards.
Thus, before the second wave of Deep Space Magic Energy Bombing Drones approached, all three Half-Step Humanoid Aliens had ready responses.
The voluminous bodies rapidly shrunk, and once reduced to their original size of about twenty meters, the three Humanoid Aliens, now with greatly increased room for maneuvering, quickly dodged the second wave of several Deep Space Magic Energy Bombing Drones.
As the drones exploded in the void, Song Chi felt a pang of distress aboard the Cangqiong.
In the past year or so, he had purchased two batches of these drones from the shop opened by Goblin Luke, but the price had not decreased at all, with each drone costing a solid Second-Rank Floating Land Origin.
Now that they were just exploding in empty space without achieving their intended effect, it was naturally quite wasteful.
Meanwhile, the three humanoid aliens, having already locked on to the source of the attack, turned into three residual shadows and dashed straight toward the spatial wormhole in the background.
Song Chi was not alarmed; he had anticipated that they might reduce their size to dodge. With their smaller size, their agility might have increased, but it also meant that their combat power could not reach the peak level, and so it was time for the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines to make their move.
In the calm void, thirty Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines quietly appeared, each clutching a Void Blade, their figures duplicating from one to two, and finally to four.
With that, 120 phantoms suddenly burst forth, hurtling towards the three Half-Step Fourth Rank Humanoid Aliens in the center.
The thirty Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines simultaneously activated the “Instant Prison Shadow Kill” ability, and one can imagine the spectacle.
As the 120 phantoms reverted back to the thirty Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, of the three central Half-Step Humanoid Aliens, only two remained; the other had long since fallen silent.
Lacking the support of Floating Land Core Origin Rules, not in their peak form, and, in fact, not much different from ordinary Third Rank creatures, it was normal for one to be taken out by the full force of thirty Pseudo Third Rank Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines.
However, this result had almost completely incited the remaining two humanoid aliens. Their figures swelled rapidly once again, quickly returning to a volume of a kilometer.
In response, Song Chi simply deployed several more Deep Space Magic Energy Bombing Drones in a targeted manner, intending to grind down the opposition step by step and deny them any chance to close in.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The three drones, humming softly, swiftly emerged from the spatial wormhole and charged at the two Half-Step Fourth Rank Humanoid Aliens.
But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.
The humanoid alien on the left suddenly tapped lightly on the white jade sphere it was clutching, and then it, along with its counterpart, abruptly vanished from their spot.
Inside the spatial wormhole, the two Humanoid Aliens, each a kilometer tall, reappeared; after locating the Cangqiong suspended in the wormhole’s passage, they erupted with energy around them and rushed forward with unbridled fury.
In the Cangqiong’s Main Control Room, Song Chi’s eyes remained calm, showing not the slightest trace of panic in the face of this sudden disruption.
Ssshh—
The hatch of the Cangqiong opened, and a pitch-black figure streaked out from within.
After bursting out of the Cangqiong, the black figure rapidly expanded, finally transforming into a Thorned Flying Dragon with a wingspan of one thousand five hundred meters.
Roar!
In addition to this, the Third Rank Cher was also released by Song Chi. Stay connected via empire
And so, a dragon and a humanoid faced off against the two humanoid aliens on the other side as the great battle commenced.
Around them, a host of Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines assisted, and together with the continuous firing from two secondary cannons and one main cannon on the Cangqiong, what was already an unfair fight quickly came to an end; the two Half-Step Fourth Rank Humanoid Aliens fell to Song Chi, one after the other.
After dealing with the four Half-Step Fourth Rank Humanoid Aliens, Song Chi first cleaned up the battlefield and then checked the spoils recovered from the four.
After taking inventory, Song Chi nodded slightly at the final tally.
But there wasn’t much joy on his face.
The four Half-Step Fourth Rank Humanoid Aliens had altogether contributed 18 Strange Objects to him.

White items: 3, blue items: 7, purple items: 8.
Among them, the white and blue items are quite common oddities and even if they can be converted into ship components, their attributes are quite ordinary. Song Chi directly ignored them.
Of the 8 purple relics, 3 could not be converted into shipborne components. Song Chi planned to put these three into the Ruins Market’s Oddity Exchange Shop later on. Among the remaining 5, only one was eye-catching—it was the white jade sphere previously held by a humanoid alien race at the Half-Step Fourth Rank.
[Oddity: Void Escape Orb]
[Quality: Purple]
[Convertible: {Short-Range Void Escape Launch Pad}{Void Escape Orb}]
[Note: Contains a trace of Space Law. Its value exceeds ordinary oddities of the same rank.]
This was evidently a space-class oddity, crucially able to be converted into two types of shipborne components.
The [Short-Range Void Escape Launch Pad] needs no further explanation; it is a purple-quality long-range fixed-point deployment component, whose attributes will certainly far exceed the [Fixed-Point Launch Pad] component currently loaded on the Cangqiong.
The [Void Escape Orb] itself is a special component, but it isn’t used for deploying people or objects within the warship; instead, it allows the warship itself to perform short-range spatial teleportation. Such components are obviously quite good, whether for chasing or escaping.
Short-Range Void Escape Launch Pad lv0
Quality: Purple
Feature: Extended deployment distance by an additional 40%
Consumption: 800/instance (Spectral Energy Points)
Charge: 60 seconds; Buffer: 48 hours
Effect: Deploys qualified items (creatures) within volume and weight specs to designated coordinates, current maximum deployment distance: 1.4 light-years.
UpRank Requirement: 10 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 1000 Spectral Energy Points
…
Void Escape Orb lv0
Quality: Purple
Feature: Provides an additional +200 resistance against Void for the equipped warship
Consumption: 10/s (Spectral Energy Points)
Effect: At an additional cost of 1000 Spectral Energy Points, instantly perform void escape in a specified direction, current maximum escape distance 10 km.
Buffer Time: 72 hours
UpRank Requirement: 10 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 1000 Spectral Energy Points, 4 Zero Rank Void Crystals
Between the two, Song Chi didn’t hesitate much and directly converted the oddity into the [Void Escape Orb] component.
Comparatively, the Cangqiong’s current [Fixed-Point Launch Pad] component was still adequate, while the [Void Escape Orb]’s life-saving ability was clearly more valued by Song Chi.
Additionally, the Void resistance bonus provided by the [Void Escape Orb], along with the Space Lock feature previously obtained by merging the Space Solidification Stone, would make future ventures of the Cangqiong into the Void to hunt Void Demons much safer.
Upon installing this component, Song Chi did not proceed with enhancements.
The lv0 [Void Escape Orb]’s consumption of 10 Spectral Energy Points per second was within the manageable range of the level 35 [Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine], but further enhancement might make it unsustainable.
Apart from this [Void Escape Orb] component, the shipborne components converted from the other four oddities were quite average and the Cangqiong had no use for them. However, they could later be exchanged with the family.
Taking into account the [Dark Gold Armor Layer] acquired earlier and the Purple Quality Energy Shield obtained through Ruins Market trading, Song Chi now had a total of 6 purple components in hand.
At the lowest recycling price of 4 Golden Merit Points each, at least 24 Golden Merit Points could be exchanged at the Family Merit Hall, and with the additional 35 points from his personal account, that made 60 points in total, just 30 points shy of 90.
With this thought, Song Chi couldn’t help but feel a bit excited. Thus, the tasks for the next two months seemed much easier.
At the same time, his gaze shifted again, following the sight of the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, now having exited the wormhole once more, looking out into the vast expanse of the shattered ancient battlefield in outer space.
“I still have over a month to stay here. I hope to add more to my gains in the time to come!”
ps: As far as taking too big a step is concerned, please rest assured, I’ve got a good sense of measure!!
