As for everything that happened in the Chenxing Multifunctional Shop subsequently, Song Chi remained unaware.

After returning home, he explained things to his dad, and Song Chao naturally agreed without a hitch.

Changing from five days to ten was hardly a big deal.

Having settled that matter, Song Chi used cultivation as a pretext to lock himself in his bedroom again, but in reality, he stealthily entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

It was still the free stall area, still those piles of various large and small mineral resources, whether in the Torch Market on the White Tower Floating Land or in the vast Floating Fortress, Song Chi chose not to sell these thousands of tons of materials. For one, he wanted to prevent any accidents, and for another, he was unwilling to let the merchants scrape off a layer of profit for nothing.

His idea was to allocate about ten shops specifically to sell this batch of mineral resources in the next market trade. Future gains from exploration of the Alien Star Domain would also be sold exclusively in the market, without dealing externally.

This way, he could not only ensure his safety to the highest degree, preventing the exposure of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market but also maximize the benefits of subsequent gains.

Of course, this meant that many resources would inevitably be hoarded over a long time, as it was impossible for the alien species entering the market to need exactly the resources he offered every time. It might take two or even several market trades to sell everything. But now, with sufficient starting funds at hand, he was willing to accept this.

Having made up his mind, Song Chi stopped dwelling on these matters, pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind, and turned to take out the [Electromagnetic Ray Cannon] component.

The strand of "Senbai Bone Flame" was only temporarily mortgaged to him, currently unusable, but the Top Rank mass-attack Secondary Cannon had become wholly his the moment the trade took effect.

According to the terms of the trade, once the Brainwave Remote Control System component was delivered, regardless of whether the woman's subsequent actions succeeded or failed, the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon was the compensation for Song Chi's lending of the Brainwave Remote Control System, and could not be reclaimed by the other party.

He entered the Cang Qiong, quickly replaced the Colorless standard ship-borne Spectral Cannon and then spent over two hundred Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origin points to enhance the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon to lv20.

Electromagnetic Ray Cannon lv20

Quality: Blue

Feature: Lightning Arc Splash

Consumption: 10 per shot (Spectral Energy Points)

Might: 270

No need for Buffer and Charge

UpRank Requirement: 15 threads of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, 8000 Spectral Energy Points

Lightning Arc Splash: Creatures damaged by the Electromagnetic Thunderball will have 40% of the damage inflicted splashed onto the eight nearest creatures around them.

After the enhancement to Second Rank, the attributes of the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon became more astonishing.

The Lightning Arc Splash feature alone, Song Chi surmised, would allow the Cang Qiong to encounter the Insect Race from the Buluo Civilization Ruins again, a direct volley could wipe out hundreds of Insect Race creatures instantly, and even clearing tens of thousands wouldn't take more than ten minutes.

That is, provided they were only Zero Rank Insect Race, for First Rank Insect Race, the cleaning process would still be slow. After all, it was only a Secondary Cannon, quick in firing but limited in power, facing the armored bugs of First Rank, the cleaning speed would inevitably be much slower.

After reaching lv20, Song Chi did not continue to strengthen it, as he had gathered a batch of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin in the Starshine Civilization's domain, but the quantity was not large, just four hundred threads. He would wait and strengthen it as the situation allowed.

Having finished all that, Song Chi put away the Cang Qiong and entered the Omnifunctional Cultivation Room.

Not long ago he advanced his Guidance Technique to lv8 with the help of Queen Insect's meat; however, to use the Advanced Body Tempering Potion that had been neutralized with a 900-year Deep Sea Clam Pearl powder, it was necessary to raise the Guidance Technique to lv9. Otherwise, the potent medicine would not be beneficial but a poison, surely destroying the foundation of his cultivation.

And to advance from lv8 to lv9 required a substantial amount of time. Of course, he could not neglect his daily Cultivation tasks.

Ten hours later, Song Chi emerged from the Omnifunctional Cultivation Room, quickly washed up, and sat cross-legged on the living room sofa at home, quietly Visualizing the "Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale - Mythical Mech Projection Imprint Blueprint" in the depths of his mind.

On the side, Song Dad and Song Mom exchanged a glance, smiling and shaking their heads. However, both of them instinctively made their movements lighter, fearing they might disturb their son's Visualization.

...

In an unknown part of space, five Torch Warships of varying sizes were racing at full speed.

Under Lightspeed Cruise, the five warships were like five streaks of shooting light, crossing great distances in an instant.

Suddenly, the two kilometer-long Warships at the forefront began to slow down, and seeing this, the three hundred-meter Warships behind them also slowed down.

In the Main Control Room of the two kilometer-long Warships, the conversation between the two Torch Ship Captains could be heard.

"We're about to enter the range covered by the Deep Blue Spores. Let's slow down a bit. Also, Ansewei, you can now deploy the Phantom Butterfly drone you have at hand!"

"The perception range of these Deep Blue Spores exceeds 0.1 light-year. Are you sure that the remote control component you have can control over such a distance?"

To this probing question, the woman named Ansewei did not respond verbally but replied through action.

The rightmost Silver Warship, with its kilometer length, suddenly opened a small gap in the mecha hangar door, after which a drone, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, became a streak of light as a special deployment component within the Warship launched it to a distance of one light-year away.
