Novel Full Chapter 194 The Appearing · Cosmic Plant [Silver Apple Mother Tree]
Without a doubt, the component that this Orange Oddity could transform into—an [External Cobalt Piercing Bullet Launcher]—is definitely an attack weapon of top rank.
Although it’s just an external launcher capable of mounting only two cobalt bullets at a time, it cannot fire indefinitely like the main and secondary cannons do; after every launch, new bullets must be manually reloaded.
Also, as an external launcher, it can’t be loaded from inside the warship, so in a single battle, it would generally be limited to firing just two shells.
Yet, its value cannot be denied. Without mentioning anything else, just the addition of the armor-piercing feature alone is enough to call it top rank.
Features like armor-piercing, shield breaking, and binding are extremely rare. Possessing any one of these features would be enough to classify it as a top-rank component.
The thing is, another feature this launcher has is damage increase; it starts at lv0, increasing damage by two times, and only gets more exaggerated with further enhancements. Combined with the armor-break feature, a single hit from this launcher could inflict damage comparable to a major skill attack.
In his excitement, Song Chi was somewhat torn. If he were to transform the [External Cobalt Piercing Bullet Launcher], then clearly, he wouldn’t sell it, but keep it for the use of the Cang Qiong.
In doing so, however, he would still be quite short of the 90 Golden Merit Points he needed, not to mention the Orange Ascension Fire Source.
“A long road lies ahead…”
Muttering to himself, he entered the Ruins Market and acquired enough cobalt ore from a mineral resources shop before fitting the [External Cobalt Piercing Bullet Launcher] onto the Cang Qiong. Continue your journey with empire
Spending 690 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, 120 Titanium Crystals, along with various Zero Rank and First-Rank Floating Land Origins, he enhanced the launcher to lv30.
External Cobalt Piercing Bullet Launcher lv30
Quality: Orange
Feature: Armor-Piercing +30000
Feature 2: Might Increase 400%
Consumption: 10000/per shot
Load Capacity: 2/2
Might: 1425000
Charge: 15s
No Buffering Required
UpRank Requirement: 20 strands of Floating Land Origin (Third Rank), 40000 Spectral Energy Points, 10 tons of cobalt ore, 32 Titanium Crystals
Needless to say, the attributes of an External Cobalt Piercing Bullet Launcher enhanced to Third Rank are astonishing, and it can certainly serve as a powerful trump card.
Furthermore, its energy consumption is per shot, not continuous, which doesn’t affect the current [Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine] in the slightest, or else Song Chi wouldn’t have enhanced it all the way to lv30 in one go.
After enhancing this remarkable external launcher, Song Chi’s gaze returned to the space beyond the wormhole.
However, it didn’t last long as his thoughts quickly shifted, and he deactivated the summoning of the remaining three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines.
With the exploration of one warship wreckage completed, he only needed to wait for the [Fixed-Point Launch Pad] and the [Brainwave Remote Control System] to finish buffering before he could embark on the next exploration.
And so, time swiftly passed, and before he realized it, another month had gone by.
In the meantime, he had opened another Ruins Market trade. The gains were still not big, securing only two Purple Relics.
However, including the several Purple Relics obtained from the exploration of the new ancient warship wrecks over the past month, he now had a total of 15 Purple Relics that could be transformed into Purple ship-mounted components.
All in all, they could roughly be converted to over 60 Golden Merit Points. Added to what was left in his personal account, he had enough to exchange for the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine].
Song Chi was very happy about this. In two months’ time, he had secured 15 Purple ship-mounted components, plus 7 Purple Relics that couldn’t be transformed, he’d put up in the Oddity Exchange Shop, and to top it off, an Orange quality external launcher.
This couldn’t simply be described as a “great haul.” For an ordinary Torch Ship Captain, it would be an opportunity of a lifetime, rarely encountered even once.
Still, after a brief moment of joy, Song Chi quickly calmed his spirit.
The thought of the super-giant warship he had yet to set foot on instantly made his current gains seem less appealing, and he felt an itch to explore.
Merely the astonishing haul from those ten thousand meter-long warships—what about the flagship that was clearly several classes above? What rare resources could it hold?
Orange Oddities?
Or even Red Curios?
Or perhaps something beyond a Red Epic, like Silver?
With those thoughts, Song Chi’s heart burned with eagerness.
“Should I try deploying near that super-giant warship?”
It would be false to say that he wasn’t tempted. The [Space Beacon Emitter] had finished buffering, allowing him to place a new Space Beacon in this Star Domain. This also meant that he didn’t have much time left; within the next two or three days, he had to return to the Dragon Spine Continent or he would miss the Copper Mountain Floating Land operation.
Truth be told, he wasn’t very eager to participate in the operation; after all, it involved a Fourth Rank Level Starry Sky Behemoth, which was not without its dangers. He would rather slowly develop and explore this Stellar Battlefield.
But since his grandfather and great-uncle had decided, and they seemed to want him to join as well, Song Chi had no choice but to abide by their wishes despite some resistance in his heart.
After some thought, Song Chi decided to make use of the remaining few days to explore the super-giant ancient warship preliminarily.
Besides satisfying his own curiosity, it was also to get an early understanding of the situation on that warship. Although he didn’t know the specific conditions on board, Song Chi was certain of one thing.
Compared to the ten thousand meter-long warship wrecks he had explored before, the inside of this ship—as frighteningly long as tens of thousands of kilometers—was sure to be even more dangerous.
