The trade was sealed, and Luke quickly took out a large mass of Floating Land Origin from his Spatial Folding Box.

A full half a million strands.

But without exception, all were Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.

Song Chi also tentatively asked if he had any thoughts of selling High Rank Floating Land Origin, but was swiftly rejected.

Clearly, this goblin didn’t have as many High Rank Floating Land Origins as imagined, or to put it another way, for it, the importance of Medium-High Rank Floating Land Origins far exceeded that of Low Rank ones.

Not disappointed, amidst Goblin Luke’s pained gaze, Song Chi used the Power of Laws to coil up the large mass of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, which vanished into thin air from this mineral resource shop in the blink of an eye.

With this hefty order from Goblin Luke, coupled with the subsequent entrance of Alien Races into the Ruins Market not being few, it was expected that the trade volume necessary for the Ruins Market to UpRank to Second Rank would be quickly met, just waiting for this market trade to officially end before actively trying to elevate the Ruins Market to Second Rank.

To say he wasn’t excited about this outcome would be a lie.

One must know, when the Ruins Market UpRanked from Zero Rank to First Rank, it not only gained the extremely important Ruins Market exclusive item "Ruins Market Guest Token" but also activated the Ruins Market’s second feature, "Spatial Anchor Point."

Both the "Ruins Market Guest Token" and the "Spatial Anchor Point" were extremely powerful new functions.

Therefore, Song Chi had been harboring great expectations for the Market’s advancement to Second Rank for quite some time.

Time passed, and no other incidents occurred subsequently.

Zhou Ping brought another batch of 50 Titanium Crystals and items like Body Tempering Liquid, Body Tempering Paste, etc.

Furthermore, Song Chi inquired with Goblin Luke again to see if he had any thoughts of renting a specialized shop in the Ruins Market, similar to Zhou Ping and the Centaur.

The result was, no matter how Goblin Luke pleaded, Song Chi did not respond to his bargaining for the rent of 50 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin. In the end, he grudgingly agreed and rented a shop as his exclusive storefront.

As for the items he would sell, they were goblin mechanical creations, Magic Energy Potions, and the like, which enriched the variety of goods in the Ruins Market once again.

Twenty-some hours later, at the moment the Ruins Market trade ended, Song Chi immediately opened the Market’s attribute panel.

[UpRank Requirement: 200 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, Ruins Market Trade Volume 200,000 (235,650/200,000) strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin]

The conditions for the upgrade were met. However, before clicking confirm, Song Chi seemed to think of something.

He paused his action, instead opening the Market’s only additional configuration at the moment, the "Stealth Light Platform."

Its current Enhancement Level was exactly lv20, just reaching Second Rank, and since the Ruins Market was also advancing to Second Rank, Song Chi worried whether the "Stealth Light Cloak" generated by it could completely conceal the strong light emitted by the Market’s advancement.

To be safe, he clicked on this component several times in succession, consuming dozens of strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin and 15 Titanium Crystals, ultimately enhancing the "Stealth Light Platform" to lv25.

Only after this operation did he turn his attention back to the Market itself.

[Conditions satisfied, spend 200 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin to elevate Ruins Market level to lv20?]

"Confirm!"

As the word "confirm" was spoken, the 200 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin that had been hovering in front of him suddenly dissipated and merged into the Ruins Market space.

Then, the entire Zhu Tian Ruins Market began to shake violently.

At the same time, an intense brilliance burst forth, filling the entire Market space in a flash.

Song Chi was no stranger to this scene—as almost the same anomaly had previously attracted a four-digit number of Void Demons and nearly caused the entire Zhu Tian Ruins Market to be annihilated.

However, now it was different. With the Stealth Light Cloak generated by the Stealth Light Platform component in place, this intense brilliance could not shine out of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, nor could it attract the attention of the Void Demons again.

When the brilliance dissipated, the attribute panel of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market popped up in front of Song Chi once more, but soon he noticed a new prompt at the bottom of the panel.

[Time required for this UpRank is two days, current remaining 47:59:12.]

Seeing this prompt, Song Chi’s full anticipation had to be temporarily suppressed.

A full two days—tens of times longer than from Zero Rank to First Rank—he naturally would not just wait idly.

Green Moon Manor, the courtyard where Uncle’s family lived.

As soon as Song Shan stepped out of the Mountain, Song Chi handed over the mass of Floating Land Origin he held.

"Uncle, this is 400,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin. Only one million pieces of Terrastone were sold this time; the other three million will have to wait until next time."

Out of the 500,000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi retained 100,000 strands, a little over twenty percent, and handed over the rest to his family, hoping to use it to speed up the improvement of his family’s strength.

Song Shan’s face lit up with a smile, very satisfied with this difference in price.

By this calculation, once the remaining three million Terrastone were sold, they would gain 1.6 million strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin; deducting the cost of 100,000 strands, that’s a net profit of 1.5 million strands—not a small amount by any means.

"Very good, very good, very good..."

Song Shan said "good" three times in a row, reflecting his genuine happiness and not just a pretense.

And indeed, this income had come at the right moment. Their lineage had just started, with limited sources of income, unable to sustain solely on the Third Rank Source of Floatland on Green Moon Island.

With this channel in Song Chi’s hands, their lives would improve significantly in the future, and the strength of the family members would not only not stagnate but would instead experience a period of rapid improvement.
