Time passed, and after more than six hours, all thirteen alloy safes had been opened, and the items stored within were all in Song Chi’s hands.

Overall, although it didn’t meet his initial expectations, the results were still not bad.

The thirteen safes had yielded 400 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin for Song Chi, plus a Blue Quality Starry Sea Oddity.

There’s no need to elaborate on the 400 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin; according to the market price, they are equivalent to 40,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, and in reality, even more valuable.

As for that Blue Oddity, it could be transformed into a piece of alloy armor of Blue Quality. It has similar attributes to the [Starry Shine V-Type Alloy Armor] currently equipped on the Cang Qiong, making it an up-to-standard Blue Component.

In total, their combined value was around 50,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, which also meant that Song Chi’s net gain from this exploration in the Alien Star Domain exceeded 110,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.

Placed on any other First-Rank Torch Warship, this would be an unimaginable astronomical figure, but for Song Chi, although pleased, his heart quickly returned to calm.

After all, before this exploration of the Alien Star Domain, a single day’s transaction at the Ruins Market had earned him more than 100,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin. With this earlier reference, it was not surprising that the acquisition of 110,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin didn’t excite Song Chi all that much.

…

Golden Shark Starfield, Guang Yuan Floating Land.

Above the sprawling Floating Fortress Dock Area of the Floating Land, an inconspicuous Scout-class Starry Sea shuttle parked in a remote dock, followed by a figure, cloaked in a cape and robe, stepping down from the shuttle.

Chenxing Multi-Function Store, still the voluptuous and seductively charming woman. The moment Song Chi entered the store, she immediately cast her gaze upon him. Then, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her previously expressionless face.

In that moment, it seemed as though the entire store brightened.

Tens of billions of kilometers away, hidden within a depleted asteroid belt, inside the main control room of the Cangqiong, Song Chi’s eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, “Just as I suspected.”

The woman’s blatantly obvious behavior was only a step short of having the words “I recognize you” written on her face.

But considering that he was in hiding tens of billions of kilometers away from Guang Yuan Floating Land, Song Chi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, commending himself for his caution.

After his previous encounter, he was well aware that a Third-Rank powerhouse was watching him, so this time he simply used the Brainwave Beacon to remotely control the shuttle to go there, while he and the Cang Qiong stayed far away.

Seeing that the woman recognized him at a glance, Song Chi lost interest in checking out the strange objects and warship components area, and turned to leave the store briskly.

Although his true body was tens of billions of kilometers away, the remotely controlled puppet he was using was carrying a substantial amount of funds. For safety purposes, he preferred to trade at another shop, even if the items were far inferior to those of the Chenxing Multi-Function Store. He decided it was worth visiting a few more shops if necessary.

Whoosh!

Song Chi only felt a breeze, and then the woman who was behind the counter a second ago suddenly appeared in front of him.

Before he could take any defensive action, the woman’s ethereal voice resounded first.

“Am I so fearsome that it makes you this scared?”

“Rest assured and choose, within this store, no one will force you to do anything you don’t want to do!”

After saying that, she stepped back behind the counter on her crystal high heels, each step accentuated with a twist.

After her words, Song Chi also stopped, not because he trusted what the woman had said, but because if she really wanted to keep him, his puppet wouldn’t be able to leave the store today.

Turning back to the area displaying strange objects and warship components, Song Chi started to examine each item more casually.

Over the course of twenty-plus days, the store had clearly restocked; the number of strange objects and warship components had increased considerably compared to twenty-plus days earlier.

However, Song Chi was disappointed that, despite nearly double the inventory of warship components, there still wasn’t a Blue Quality or higher mass-attack type main cannon.

Frowning, he returned to the counter and restrained his brainwave activities, refraining from looking at the woman who was now watching him with a keen interest.

Suddenly, a projected screen popped out from underneath the cloak and robe.

[Is that Phantom Butterfly Rank drone still available? I’ll take it!]

The woman didn’t say a word but calmly presented the miniature Phantom Butterfly Drone.

Neither of them mentioned the previous discount; as soon as Song Chi transferred 500 strands of First-Rank Floating Land Origin, the drone was handed over to him.

Before the group attack-type main and secondary cannons could be assaulted, Song Chi naturally also had no intention of staying longer in this shop. Carefully stowing the Phantom Butterfly Drone in his backpack, he promptly turned and left without any reluctance.

“Wait a moment…”

Just as he took a step, a woman’s voice came from behind him.

Tens of billions of kilometers away, aboard the Cang Qiong, Song Chi’s body trembled, a strong sense of tension arising in his heart.

He was afraid, afraid that this enigmatic woman had ill intentions. If that were the case, the large sum of money carried by the newly made combat robot would surely be lost completely.

However, the woman’s ensuing words made him relax a little.

“You were looking for high-quality group attack-type main and secondary cannons, weren’t you? Well, take a look at this component.”

Saying that, she took out a component that emitted a blue glow from underneath the counter.

Song Chi paused, and eventually, under the woman’s somewhat smirking gaze, turned back to approach the counter.

Ignoring the woman’s unusual gaze, his eyes fixed strictly on the blue component lying on the counter.

Electromagnetic Ray Cannon lv0

Quality: Blue

Feature: Lightning Arc Splash

Consumption: 3 per shot (Spectral Energy Points)

Might: 2.3

No need for buffering and charging

UpRank Requirement: 3 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, 300 Spectral Energy Points

This Electromagnetic Ray Cannon wasn’t a main cannon, but a secondary cannon. The electromagnetic thunderballs it fired were already of an explosive nature; coupled with the “Lightning Arc Splash” feature, this secondary cannon became an exquisite group attack-type secondary cannon.

Lightning Arc Splash: Creatures hit by electromagnetic thunderball damage will have 10% of their received damage splashed onto the nearest three creatures.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Song Chi once more sent a subtitle message through his communication bracelet:

[What’s the price?]

This time the woman didn’t rush to speak, but continued to stare at the combat robot under the cloak, giving Song Chi the illusion that she wasn’t looking at the robot, but at the brainwave beacon attached to it.

After almost half a minute, the woman finally broke the silence.

“The same question I asked you more than twenty days ago.”

“How far does your special ability for remote control extend? Or should I ask whether it exceeds 0.1 light-years?”

After hesitating for a moment, Song Chi still controlled the combat robot to nod.

With a positive response, the woman’s smile became even more brilliant. Her delicate eyes spun around, seemingly finding it bothersome, and then straightforwardly said:

“I suppose you would not agree to join me in that mission. How about this instead: You lend me the remote control component, for a time, and in exchange, I’ll give you this Electromagnetic Ray Cannon as compensation. What do you think?”

Song Chi was taken aback, having never anticipated such a proposition.

Lending out a Purple Quality component – he really had never heard of such a practice.

He did give it some serious thought but did not agree right away.

What he was being asked to lend was the “Brainwave Remote Control System,” a Purple Quality special component, and the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon she offered was only of Blue Quality. If she later went back on her word and refused to return the Brainwave Remote Control System, he would clearly be at a loss, despite his urgent need for the group attack secondary cannon.

Seeing that Song Chi did not respond immediately, the woman seemed to guess what he was contemplating. After a moment of thought, she once again reached under the counter, searching for something.
