Global Era of Star trekking

Amid the crowd, Song Chi had already used the Power of Laws, undetectably squeezing to the very front, his focused gaze converging on the pitch-black sphere.

Suddenly, a flash of radiance appeared before his eyes, and the attributes of the [Neutron Star Core] Oddity emerged.

[Marvel: Neutron Star Core]

[Quality: Red]

[Convertible: Neutron Star Core Armor]

[Note: Originating from the remains of a neutron star left over from a certain universe in the Multiverse Era, after endless eons, it has evolved into a Starry Sea Oddity. Due to a long period of energy deprivation, as the energy of the Neutron Star Remains was exhausted, it gradually degraded into a Red Curio.]

Having read the attributes of this marvel, a strong luminescence surfaced in the depths of Song Chi’s eyes. Of course, with the cover of the Power of Laws, this subtle change in expression would not be detected by other beings.

His eyes focused on the two most crucial words on the attribute panel in front of him:

Degraded!

Even after degradation, it remained a Red Quality Oddity.

What did that signify?

It meant that initially, this [Neutron Star Core] was likely an Oddity of even higher quality.

And even though it had since degraded to red, there was a significant difference.

Typical Red Oddities, whether in terms of inherent attributes or future potential, could not compare to a Red Oddity that was once of a higher quality.

Thinking this, Song Chi’s thoughts shifted again as a wave of the Power of Laws enveloped strands of Spectral Energy, brushing over the [Neutron Star Core].

Before long, the specific attributes that the Oddity would have once transformed into a warship component appeared.

UpRank Requirement: 50 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank), 5000 Spectral Energy Points, 5kg Cobalt Stone

{Neutron Star Fission: Spend 5000 Spectral Energy Points, and the warship temporarily transforms into a miniature neutron star form, defending against attacks from the outside world, duration 10s, cooldown time 72 hours.}

{Neutron Star Core Pulse: The armor layers converted from the Neutron Star Core contain endless pulse energy. When the warship suffers damage, these infinite pulse energy waves will continuously repair both the warship armor and the Energy Shield, restoring 1% of the armor layer every 30s, and 1% of the Shipborne Energy Shield Value every 60s.}

Song Chi’s breathing grew a bit heavy, and what was already a disturbed lake in his heart now turned into a raging storm.

If observing the properties of the [Neutron Star Core] Oddity had only slightly excited him, then after seeing the detailed attributes of the [Neutron Star Core Armor] component, he completely blended in with the surrounding Alien Races, feeling nothing but a burning desire and covetousness for the marvel.

However, unlike these Alien Races around him who dared only think to themselves, Song Chi was genuinely determined to obtain it.

The warship component that the [Neutron Star Core] Oddity could be transformed into was definitely the cream of the crop, its three features each more impressive than the last.

The first feature, a 70% increase in armor protection, goes without saying. Compared to the Orange Quality [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator]’s "Defense Value Doubled," in other words, a fixed increase of 100%, this feature certainly was not as significant at the start.

```

But the key point is that the defense value doubling feature of the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator is fixed and unchanging, no matter how much it is enhanced, it will always be 100%.

However, this [Neutron Star Core Armor] is different, its initial value is only 70%, but as it is subsequently enhanced, this increment ratio will continue to rise, later on, not to mention 100%, I fear even 150% won’t be the limit.

Additionally, the "Neutron Star Fission" feature, although it appears to be the same type of ability as "Obsidian Guardian," can neutron stars truly be compared with obsidian?

In his previous life, neutron stars were one of the strongest celestial bodies in the universe, usually compared with black holes, and obsidian wouldn’t even qualify as a little brother in its presence.

Song Chi estimated that once he obtained this [Neutron Star Core Armor] and enhanced it to lv30, and once the Neutron Star Fission feature was activated in the future, turning the Cangqiong into a miniature neutron star state, it would likely be able to withstand attacks from Fifth Rank beings.

And that "Neutron Star Core Pulse" feature, its effect is equally astounding, as long as the equipped warship is damaged, it can continuously repair the warship armor and energy shield.

Perhaps right now repairing 1% every 30s and 60s does seem a bit low, but it can be enhanced along with the component. As long as the enhancement level is increased, it will definitely be an incredibly dominant feature.

Lost in thought, there were already many alien species starting to bid one after another by his side.

As if they had a tacit understanding, nearly all the bidding alien creatures were Second Rank, obviously those Zero Rank and First Rank alien species felt they didn’t have anything impressive to offer and did not join in the bidding.

However, as the Lord of the Ruins Market, Song Chi clearly felt that with the appearance of this Red Curio, many alien species began leaving the Ruins Market.

They were in a hurry, and if he was not mistaken, these aliens were likely going to notify the high-ranking beings of their respective species on the outside.

With nearly eighty spatial gates, it’s impossible that all were discovered by chance by solitary creatures; there are always some that are discovered by an entire tribe or clan, who send their lower Zero, First, and Second Rank creatures to trade inside, while they themselves wait outside the spatial gates of the Ruins Market.

For these types of forces, Song Chi actually didn’t want to see them because each additional power would mean another competitor for him, thus reducing his chances of obtaining this piece of Red warship armor.

Yet he couldn’t take action to prevent them, as that would go against the detached market ethos he had always maintained for the Ruins Market.

He furrowed his brows, but soon returned to his usual expression.

If he only had a [Ruins Market Guest Token] in his hand right now, it might indeed be a bit uncertain, but for the newly appeared [Ruins Market Walking Rank] after his promotion to Second Rank, he still had enough confidence.

Not to mention anything else, just the ability to allow a creature to increase its combat power by one Great Rank out of thin air was definitely the best life-saving measure.

Thinking it over, the bidding in the venue had reached a fever pitch.

"I offer three Third Rank Fire Ape puppets, activated by [Spirit Summoning Charms], requiring no mana to control, and can protect the user for half an hour!"

The one who spoke was one of the few First Rank beings in the auction, and an old acquaintance of Song Chi, Zhou Ping from the Luofu Sword Sect.

On the other side, a sharp voice also quickly rose.

"Lord Luke is willing to offer one Third Rank Magic Shield Belt and ten Deep Space Magic Energy Bombing Drones; the former can create a Third Rank single-target magic shield, while the latter possesses Third Rank might."

...

Though the voices of bidding continued without pause, it was clear that the offered items were far from matching the value of a Red Curio.

Yet all the alien species present, as if in agreement, all relied on the fact that Elon had a Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, continuing to bid without ever raising the value too high.

Suddenly, a First Rank alien who had briefly left the Ruins Market but then quickly returned, broke the unspoken consensus by calling out a bid.

"I have one Orange Quality dark energy field stone, which can release a dark energy field lasting half an hour every ten days to withstand attacks from Fourth Rank beings."

As this First Rank alien spoke out, Elon, who had been silent behind the stall, clearly showed a touch of interest in his eyes.

Among all the bidders present, this creature was clearly the highest bidder. An Orange Quality curio, although far from a Red Epic Relic, was not a consumable item and could be used multiple times in the future.

The cooldown period of ten days might be a bit long, but considering the offers from other alien species, this was indeed an extremely fair bid.

Taking that into account, Elon was naturally tempted.
