Chapter 547: Chapter 291: New Round of Enhancement for Cang Qiong

“`

Staring at the brand-new attributes panel in front of him, Song Chi’s eyes sparkled with excitement visible to the naked eye.

The attribute increase after the enhancement to lv50 was secondary, what truly mattered was the “Red (1/3)” wording in the [Neutron Star Core Armor] Quality column.

It meant that his previous guess wasn’t wrong. This piece of red-quality Warship Armor could indeed autonomously absorb similar Neutron Star Remains to enhance its own quality.

Although it was somewhat different from what he expected — a single Neutron Star Remain wasn’t enough to directly complete the [Neutron Star Core Armor]’s upgrade, requiring three instead — this was still enough to delight him.

The current situation was no longer like the past. A decade ago, the red epic-quality [Neutron Star Core Armor] was considered one of the highest-quality components on the Cang Qiong, but things had changed. As Song Chi’s horizons broadened and with the installation of new high-rank components, the [Neutron Star Core Armor] had long lost its initial luster.

...

Due to the quality limitations of this component, it could no longer be considered top-rank, at best it was only top-rank in attributes.

Not to mention others, just the awards he chose in the Merit Tower, he had the opportunity to select a higher-quality silver legend Warship Armor component, but its attribute rarity was far less superb than that of [Neutron Star Core Armor], which was why it was ultimately dismissed.

Whether it was “Neutron Star Fission” or “Neutron Star Core Pulse,” these two features were particularly favored by Song Chi.

In recent years, as silver and gold components were installed on Cang Qiong, Song Chi was somewhat dissatisfied with the [Neutron Star Core Armor]’s quality.

Originally, he had thought about whether he could enhance the Cultivation Secret Realm to the seventh rank in the future, then try to advance the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] to see if he could get the seventh-rank [Silver Apple]. This plan was obviously very difficult to achieve, and he was prepared for it and didn’t hold much hope.

But unexpectedly, this dilemma was directly resolved now.

After the joy, Song Chi, who turned back, focused again on the (1/3) line of text. The [Neutron Star Core Armor] being able to advance on its own was indeed great news, but he couldn’t be too optimistic. Neutron Star Remains were rare to begin with, and he needed two more, which was a long journey ahead.

The second component to enhance, there wasn’t much to consider, with just a few high-quality components on Cang Qiong, only the [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield] could form a combo effect with [Neutron Star Core Armor].

Currently at lv45 enhancement level, this silver energy shield didn’t make Song Chi hesitate for long; he directly enhanced it to lv50.

Despite the considerable expenditure of high-rank resources, its contribution to Cang Qiong’s combat power was tangible, particularly when paired with the [Neutron Star Core Armor] component. The two fifth-rank components together became like the thickest two layers of turtle shell around Cang Qiong’s hull.

(I won’t list the attributes, no objections, right?)

The third component to be enhanced was originally the newly installed [Final Blessing] component, but considering the strain on the warship’s energy supply after several components had been enhanced to the fifth rank, he advanced the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine] from lv50 to lv59 first.

Of course, the fifth-rank Floating Land Origin he had on hand was just over ten strands, not enough to complete this enhancement. In the end, Song Chi had to return to the outside world, using all [Divine Tempering Fruits] and 40 [Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Fruits] to exchange for enough fifth-rank Floating Land Origin from multiple Clan Elders, finally succeeding in enhancing it to lv59.

While it wasn’t a great-rank increase, it still significantly improved the energy supply efficiency, allowing him to continue enhancing other components with peace of mind.

Soon, after consuming a large number of zero, first, second, third, and fourth-rank Floating Land Origins, as well as Titanium Crystals and Law Stones, the [Final Blessing] component was successfully enhanced to lv50.

After the fifth rank, this component’s repair effect saw a significant increase.

Final Blessing lv50

Quality: Silver

Feature: Final Blessing

Feature 2: Buffer time reduction of 30%

Feature 3: Doubling of repair effect

Feature 4: Additional accumulation of 1 usage

Consumption: 60,000/usage (Spectral Energy Points)

Uses: 2/2; Buffer: 9.8 hours

Effect: Upon activation, immediately repairs 64% (32%×2) of the Warship Armor, restores 64% (32%x2) of the Energy Shield Values, and repairs 34% (17%×2) of the hull.

…

Regrettably, while the standard repair effect had greatly increased, the “Final Blessing” feature itself remained unchanged, as it was a fixed feature.

But this did not discount the fact that this feature was indeed an extremely superb one.

After all, it wasn’t just about simply restoring the hull, Warship Armor, and Energy Shield to their pristine condition.

The truly powerful effect lay in another aspect: even if the Warship Armor was utterly destroyed, and the Energy Shield had overloaded, as long as the warship itself had not sunk, activating this feature could fully restore them.

Well, to put it dramatically, this feature was akin to giving Cang Qiong a second life; no matter how dire the initial encounter, as long as it wasn’t annihilated, there was a chance to start over.

As for its five-year buffer time, with the “Zen Seal: Inner Speed” feature of [Purusa Zen Seal], it was actually just one year, which was acceptable.

In the subsequent time, Song Chi began a full-scale enhancement of various other components within Cang Qiong.
