Global Era of Star Trekking

Able to exchange a “Silver Legendary Oddity” for this “Ruins Market Projection Rank”, the Starry Sea Alien Species who are capable are extremely rare, and this means only a very small number with significant backgrounds can afford to engage in it. To these Starry Sea Alien Species, the difference between one and two Silver Oddities may not be significant.

But for Song Chi, the difference was enormous.

If he were to use two Silver Legendary Oddities as the price for exchange, then even if he sacrificed one to restore its use count, he could still earn one each time, and even use the earned Silver Oddity to charge the “Projection Rank” in crucial moments.

This would also slightly compensate for the shortage of “Ruins Market Projection Ranks”, even if only one or two “Projection Ranks” were available for those Starry Sea Alien Species in the future, they wouldn’t have to wait a lengthy fifty years.

After calming his mind, Song Chi first took the initial “Ruins Market Projection Rank” in hand, naturally prioritizing the Cang Qiong’s own trump card.

However, he wasn’t in a rush to leave; although he wasn’t planning to give away this first “Projection Rank”, it didn’t mean he didn’t have a second one.

Previously, when the Qingtian Tribe purchased all the strange items, a significant amount of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin was traded. Additionally, over the decades, the Ruins Market occasionally also traded in some Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin. This had allowed the Ruins Market to freshly advance to Fourth Rank, and the transaction volume in that category had already overflowed significantly; he could now further enhance the Ruins Market by two levels.

lv40 to lv41 required fifty-four thousand Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin.

lv41 to lv42 required sixty thousand Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin.

The previously accumulated amount of over one hundred twenty thousand strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin sufficed, so Song Chi directly enhanced the Ruins Market to lv42.

At the very moment the Ruins Market advanced to lv42, the second Ruins Market Projection Room on the fourth floor of the inn was also unlocked.

Quickly, Song Chi took the second “Ruins Market Projection Rank” and headed down the inn, towards the “Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform” within the Ruins Market.

Having thoroughly checked all changes in the Ruins Market and holding another “Ruins Market Projection Rank” that could serve as the finale in the upcoming auction, he was naturally eager to initiate the first Ruins Market trade after advancing to Fourth Rank.

But before officially activating the configuration of the “Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform”, Song Chi made a trip to the main gate of the Ruins Market first.

At the main gate of the Ruins Market, on the “Ruins Market Trading Rules Screen”, he meticulously listed the information about the “Ruins Market Projection Rank” at the very forefront of the [Ruins Market Guest Token][Ruins Market Walking Rank][Ruins Market Consignment Token].

This had two advantages.

First, it allowed the Starry Sea Alien Species entering through the space portals to know about the “Ruins Market Projection Rank” straight away. If these alien species had powerful backers, they would certainly take note of this “Projection Rank”, allowing them to prepare High Rank Oddities in advance.

Second, it also let those seniors who already possessed [Guest Rank] [Walking Rank] know about this “Ruins Market Projection Rank”. If they were interested, they could also use their own or other aliens’ [Walking Rank] to inform the powerhouses behind them.

As far as Song Chi knew, several frequent visitors to the Ruins Market had this kind of background.

North Sea Royal Court behind Deguen,

Luofu Sword Sect behind Zhou Ping,

The powers behind the Third Rank Half-Rodent People,

Treant Royal Court behind the Treant Race.

Of course, just having this background didn’t guarantee their interest in the “Ruins Market Projection Rank”; that wasn’t something Song Chi could decide.

After sorting this out, Song Chi successively enhanced the [All-Attributes Cultivation Room][Spectral Energy Protective Array] and [Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform] to lv42.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A violent vibrating sound arose as the “Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform”, which had been dormant for nearly two years, was reactivated.

Subsequently, a full 1040 points of light soared skywards. As they were successively deployed to unknown parts of the Starry Sea, a corresponding number of space portals quickly materialized outside the grand gates of the Ruins Market.

Differently from the Third Rank period due to the quantity of space gates, there was no need to wait. Soon, a space gate was triggered, and some odd creatures with cautious expressions entered the Ruins Market.

Regarding this, Song Chi, who was located at the innermost part of the Ruins Market, looked on with a calm expression, silently observing these various alien races from a godlike perspective.

To those ordinary alien races, he naturally paid no attention. Up until now, the Ruins Market had opened for trade hundreds of times, and he had seen too many peculiar alien races. Now, only those with considerable potential could catch his attention as the Ruins Market Lord.

As soon as the alien races entered, noise quickly arose from the nearby inn.

As expected, it was Luke.

The market had not opened for trade for nearly two years, which had made Luke extremely anxious. In its view, each Ruins Market trade meant a substantial amount of money.

As usual, Luke was the first to rush to the mineral resource shop with his portable folding space box. However, this time was different, as the amount of Terrastone it needed had increased from the previous two million to four million.

After completing the transaction, Luke wore a proud smile on his face, proudly thinking to himself:

“After decades of accumulation, the great Viscount Thor’s Mansion has further expanded its trading channels. In the future, there will only be more Terrastone, and the great Luke will one day lead the viscount’s mansion to the peak of the empire!”

Roaring internally, Luke instinctively made a trip to the Ruins Market entrance, his crafty triangular eyes quickly scanning the Ruins Market trading rule screen.

This was something he did every time the Ruins Market traded, as the Ruins Market Lord occasionally introduced new items, such as the new “Ruins Market Token.” Though he did not redeem the “Ruins Market Walking Command” previously, it didn’t mean he and the viscount’s mansion behind him had no interest in these magical “Ruins Market Tokens.”

However, this casual glance stunned Luke, and a gleam of indescribable brightness appeared in its eyes.

“Ruins Market Projection Rank,” initiated by the Ruins Market Lord.

Clearly, the “Projection Rank” excited Luke, almost to the point of madness.

All regular customers of the market knew about the mysterious Ruins Market Lord and his terrifying authority—a Dominator Rank presence. If they could secure a projection from such a being as a trump card, Luke believed that the viscount’s mansion behind him would do everything possible to redeem this “Ruins Market Projection Rank.”

However, the light in its eyes quickly dimmed. The restrictions of either two Silver Legendary Oddities or a 50-year usage right were too great, at least for the viscount’s mansion behind him.

Though the Thor Viscount’s Mansion had a long heritage and some foundational strength, it had declined for thousands of years, making it too difficult to produce two Silver Legendary Oddities at once.

Nevertheless, Luke resolutely continued to scan toward Song Chi, who had already appeared dressed in a Blue Blood Clan disguise.

Either way, it had to return to the viscount’s mansion to consult the decisions of the ancient ancestors.

“What’s up?”

Seeing Goblin Luke running towards him with a clear purpose, Song Chi asked knowingly.

Luke quickly replied, his usual stingy and comical demeanor gone, replaced by solemnity.

“I would like to borrow the ‘Ruins Market Walking Command’ in your hand, and this purple relic is for the borrowing fee!”

Saying this, it took out a purple relic from its body without hesitation and directly tossed it to Song Chi.

Initially, Song Chi had no intention of refusing, as the more people who wanted the “Ruins Market Projection Rank,” the better it would be for him financially.

Moreover, they were discussing Silver Legendary Oddities—extremely rare items.

“Here, take it!”

After receiving the “Ruins Market Walking Command,” Luke quickly ran towards the inn.

Like Luke, there were more than one person in the Ruins Market at this moment.
