GLOBAL ERA OF STAR TREKKING

Even though more than ten minutes had passed, everyone’s hearts were still not at peace.

The Torch Warship combines all kinds of wondrous oddities from the Starry Sea, and it’s common for them to fight beyond their rank. However, fighting beyond one’s rank doesn’t mean being able to kill an enemy of a higher rank, especially not when it’s two major ranks higher, and the opponent in question is the formidable Eight-Armed Snake Demon.

Therefore, everyone was very curious about this new number 32 member of the Star Tower.

As all eyes gathered, a new human-shaped projection quickly appeared amidst spatial fluctuations coming from the Star Platform.

Without time to look around, Song Chi glanced down at his own body, which was condensed from ethereal light and had no physical substance, feeling rather uncomfortable, given that this was his first experience with projection.

When his attention returned to his surroundings, his gaze shifted to the more than twenty figures in the great hall looking at him. However, there was no surprise in his eyes.

After all, the Star Rank in his hand had already clearly indicated the number 32, so it wasn’t difficult to infer that there were already dozens of members within the “Shaking Light Star Tower” before him.

As he stepped down from the Star Platform, the ethereal projections in the Star Tower Great Hall began to greet him actively.

“Number 32, welcome to the ‘Shaking Light Star Tower’ family. I’m number 22, Red Fox.”

“Welcome, number 19, Scorching Sun.”

…

Following a series of introductions, Song Chi nodded in response to each one. Through this initial interaction, he learned that there were a total of 30 members in the “Shaking Light Star Tower” including himself, with members number 5 and 14 having perished hundreds and even over a thousand years ago, respectively, their Star Ranks simply not yet reactivated.

At the same time, members of the Star Tower would typically choose a nickname for themselves, although they could also use their real names if they preferred.

After some thought, Song Chi also casually picked a term that had left a deep impression on him in his previous life.

“Thank you all, you can call me ‘Waking of Insects,’ and I look forward to learning from you all.”

In the great hall, the more than twenty figures nodded. Although ‘Waking of Insects’ wasn’t very talkative, he was far more approachable than “Bai Mei,” who was truly “aloof.”

After chatting with everyone for a while, Song Chi then asked,

“May I know where the ‘Star Tower Mall’ is located?”

No one was surprised by this question. When they had first passed the Star Tower trial, hadn’t they all been eagerly searching for the Star Tower Mall, eager to see what good things this mysterious ‘Shaking Light Star Tower’ had to offer?

Finally, guided by the others, Song Chi arrived at a corner on the inside of the Star Tower Great Hall, where there was a mall window.

After expressing his thanks, Song Chi focused his attention entirely on the contents of the mall window.

This Star Tower Mall was laid out very similarly to the usual Torch LAN malls, with a vast array of goods neatly arranged from top to bottom.

Song Chi scanned the offerings, with numerous items catching his eye.

[Red Energy Shield]

[Orange Top Rank Upgrade Fire Source]

[Sixth Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demon Origin Double Pupil]

[Silver Shipborne Engine]

[Silver Oddity Weapon]

[Starry Sky Plant “World Tree” Fifth Rank Fruit]

For a moment, he felt a bit dizzy from the sheer number of items, each valuable in its own right.

In just a short time, Song Chi had already seen several items he was quite keen on.

For example, a silver-quality shipborne main cannon.

Lance of Obliteration lv0

Quality: Silver

Feature: Spear of Retribution

Feature 2: True Armor Piercing

Feature 3: Double Strike

Feature 4: Attack Power increased by 110%

…

Required Points for Exchange: 3500

Besides, there was a Gold Quality Energy Shield.

Yin Yang Offsetting Annihilation Shield lv0

Quality: Gold

Feature: Two Instruments · Damage Reduction

Feature 2: True Shield

Feature 3: Energy Shield Shield Value additionally increased by 140%

Feature 4: Shield Protection Value additionally increased by 140%

Feature 5: Yin Yang · Mutual Birth

…

Exchange Required Points: 30000

————

Not to mention anything else, for this “Yin Yang Offsetting Annihilation Shield” component, Song Chi was extremely covetous. Compared to the “Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield” component, the attributes of this Gold Energy Shield were obviously more powerful.

Its “Two Instruments · Damage Reduction” feature didn’t have the limitation of the Five Elements Energy like the “Five Elements Cycle: Mutual Generation and Conquest” feature, reducing damage from the majority of energy attacks. Next, the “Yin Yang · Mutual Birth” feature allowed the Energy Shield to naturally regenerate its Shield Value, and although there was some overlap with the “Neutron Star Core Pulse” feature’s effect, it could increase the speed of Shield Value recovery.

However, regrettably, even if the result of the previous challenge was outstanding, his Star Rank account points were still not enough. With just over twenty thousand points, he could only exchange for a common Golden Sanctuary Wondrous Oddity. To exchange for this Top Rank Energy Shield, he was still a lot short.

He sighed, and as he continued to scroll down, his eyes quickly caught another even more supreme Gold Component, and it was the Golden Engine that Cang Qiong had been in urgent need of.

Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine lv0

Quality: Gold

Feature: Energy Supply Efficiency additionally increased by 135%

Feature 2: Engine Thrust additionally increased by 135%

Feature 3: High Overload Burst

Feature 4: All components loaded on the Warship that are of equal or lower quality than this component have their energy consumption reduced by 10%

Feature 5: Antimatter Source Evolution

Consumption: 50/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Energy Supply: 940/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Buffer after Overload: 30 minutes

Spectral Energy Pool: 40000 (Can store forty thousand Spectral Energy Points)

Upgrade Requirement: 40 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank), 4000 Spectral Energy Points

{High Overload Burst: Consumes 80000 Spectral Energy Points, and the engine immediately enters a high overload state, Energy Supply Efficiency increases by 300%, Thrust increases by 300%, lasts for 10 minutes, buffer time 240 hours.}

{Antimatter Source Evolution: This engine can slowly evolve by devouring high purity Antimatter Sources. When the amount of Antimatter Source devoured reaches a certain threshold, the Quality of this engine will be upgraded beyond Gold (Note: After evolving to the limit, this Feature can transform into a completely new Feature on its own).}

Exchange Required Points: 45000

Leaving aside the first, second, and third features, which are essential for an engine component, what Song Chi valued were the fourth and fifth features.

The fourth feature could collectively reduce the energy consumption of all the components on the loaded Warship. While a 10% reduction might seem small for now, when strengthened to the limit, it could significantly decrease the overall energy consumption of the Warship, which would be a terrifyingly effective thing for a Torch Warship.

You know, by the time you get to the level of Fearless Ships and Star-Annihilating Starships, each component loaded on a Torch Warship starts in the triple digits. So many components place a severe test on the Warship’s energy supplying components. Yet this feature signifies that no matter how many components are loaded on the Warship in the future, it could work on all of them.

In addition, the fifth feature, “Antimatter Source Evolution,” was even more a strong point of this Gold Engine. Evolutionary features meant that this engine component had tremendous potential, with the possibility of evolving to higher qualities later.

As for the Antimatter Source, Song Chi knew it must be extremely rare; otherwise, the part would likely have already been exchanged by other members of the Shaking Light Star Tower. However, he was different, with the Zhu Tian Ruins Market at his disposal, his chances of collecting Antimatter Sources were far greater than other Torch Ship Captains.

Yet, what gave Song Chi an even bigger headache was that the part was priced at 45000 Star Tower Points, which was still way beyond what he had in his Star Rank account balance.

Thinking this, he unconsciously asked:

“Besides trial challenges, are there any other ways to obtain Star Tower Points?”

Hearing his question, a member beside him replied:

“There are many ways to obtain Star Tower Points, such as hunting members of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization. However, this method is difficult to earn large amounts of points in a short time because Eighth Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons or below do not count for points. Besides, you can also actively exchange with various special resources, Medium-High Rank Starry Sea Oddities and other items, and the Star Tower’s intelligence will assess the value on its own.”
