As Luke stepped into the first consignment shop, there was indeed a wide variety of merchandise hanging on the numerous counters.

Compared to Goblin Luke, who had to check each consignment shop one by one, Song Chi, the Ruins Market Lord, had it much easier. With just a thought, he could effortlessly scan all the goods in the entire 100 consignment shops.

He originally thought there wouldn't be any surprises this time, but to his slight astonishment, he found a peculiar item in the 88th shop towards the inner side.

[Unknown crystals, extremely rich in energy, priced at 10 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin each, quantity 5!]

Clearly, the Alien Race that hung up the unknown crystals didn't know exactly what they were.

But this was naturally not a problem for Song Chi. A prompt from the "Dome Sky Brain System" emitted from the miniaturized version of the Cang Qiong inside his brow.

[Attention, "Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine" is giving off a violent reaction, signifying the presence of special "Antimatter Source." Captain, please pay attention to the acquisition!]

[Attention, "Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine"...]

[Attention...]

The three urgent prompts made Song Chi aware that this particular type of crystal was one of the Antimatter Sources necessary for the continuous evolution of the "Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine."

To this, Song Chi naturally did not hesitate to buy all five thumb-sized pieces of Antimatter Source immediately. At the same time, with a shift in his thoughts, he actively sent a message to the Ruin Market Listing Command behind the consignment of this Antimatter Source Crystal.

As the Lord of the Ruins Market, he naturally had the ability to directly connect with the issued Ruin Market Listing Commands.

On a piece of Third Rank Floating Land in the unknown Starry Sea, a Second Rank member of the White Winged Tribe with wings on its back was staring intently at the ethereal information on the consignment token in its hands, realizing that the unknown crystals it had listed were bought in one fell swoop, its wings fluttering subconsciously—it knew it had definitely set the price too low.

Turning its head to look at the ten remaining crystals beside it, just as it was about to raise the price and list them again, an abrupt change from the token caught it by surprise.

A line of text starkly appeared on the token.

[Do you have any more of such crystals in hand?]

Knowing that only the mysterious Ruins Market Lord had the power to actively communicate through a Ruin Market Listing Command, the Second Rank White Winged Tribe member was filled with excitement and, without any hesitation, it respectfully replied:

"Your honor, I have ten more pieces. This object was obtained from a secluded valley a while back; there are no more beyond these!"

Hearing this, Song Chi in the Ruins Market let out a small sigh.

[Never mind, hang them all up for sale. Additionally, for the next year, your token will not be taken back, and all transaction fees will be waived!]

At the same time, this member of the White Winged Tribe listed the remaining ten Antimatter Source Crystals at the "original price," and Song Chi took them all with 100 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin.

The reason he offered Third Rank Floating Land Origin was purely to give the White Winged Tribe member a taste of the benefits; only in this way would it be motivated to search for more Antimatter Source Crystals.

The formation of this kind of Antimatter Source required a very special environment. In theory, as long as there was an Antimatter Source presence on this continent, there should be a certain possibility of finding more Antimatter Sources.

It had been nearly a year since he hung up the information to acquire these Antimatter Sources in the purchase shop, and yet there had been no gains until now. Naturally, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Of course, the key point was that he currently had plenty of Third Rank Floating Land Origin in hand and didn't care about these 100 strands.

But to the Second Rank White Winged Tribe member, who was extremely excited to receive the Third Rank Floating Land Origin that Song Chi viewed as inconsequential, the 100 strands would greatly increase its chances of advancing to the Third Rank.

Clutching the 100 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, a gleam flickered in the eyes of the White Winged Tribe member, and it silently resolved to thoroughly search around that valley again. If it could find more of those crystals, it believed the great Ruins Market Lord would not shortchange it.

Besides, it also thought of the other creatures on the Floating Land. This piece of Floating Land was not small; perhaps other creatures had also obtained this type of special crystal.

Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

After acquiring 15 Antimatter Source Crystals, Song Chi did not pay attention to the increasingly astonishing Mini Firmament Ship within the center of his eyebrows, but quietly appeared in his own exclusive purchase shop, placing one of the Antimatter Source Crystals in the middle of the antimatter source transaction counter.

Antimatter Source was a rarity, seen by only a few creatures, and the possibility that someone might unknowingly possess such a treasure was not low. Now, by placing one of the actual substances there, it could increase the likelihood of subsequently acquiring more of this resource.

After fiddling with the Antimatter Source Crystal, Song Chi's figure vanished from the exclusive purchase shop, and he transformed back into the appearance of a member of the Blue Blood Clan, heading straight for the shop of the Star Origin Empire.

"Elon, old brother, how about it, that fully-automatic high-rank intelligent chip..."

Before he could finish, Elon, who had only recently appeared in the Ruins Market, shook his head.

"Don't be hasty, you come up and ask every time there's a market trade. I've said it before, this item is controlled, it's not going to be so quick..."

"Alright, alright, just be sure to notify me the moment you get your hands on it."

Seeing his impatient demeanor, Song Chi did not persist and promptly left the shop.

He felt helpless about this situation. Was it wrong to want to upgrade the components of the Dome Sky Brain System to a higher level as soon as possible?

Unfortunately, things weren't going as planned. If the fully-automatic high-rank intelligent chip was already difficult to obtain, and if something like an intelligent brain were to come up later...

With this in mind, Song Chi felt incredibly frustrated.

At that moment, he was missing the first time he had opened up the Ruins Market for trade. Because it was the first opening of the Ruins Market in tens of thousands of years, he could set one of the space gates to pinpoint and target the territory of a specific alien civilization.

He remembered choosing the Mechanical Race Civilisation that time, ultimately attracting their entrance. Items like intelligent brains were commonplace within the Mechanical Race Civilisation. If the Mechanical Race were to enter the market now, obtaining a low-level intelligent brain from them would definitely not be difficult.

While he was pondering this, the transactions at the Oddity Exchange Shop caught his attention.

"Yo, is that another 5000-year-old Deep Sea Clam Pearl?"

Standing in the middle of the Oddity Exchange Shop was none other than "Deguen" of the Naga Clan from the North Sea Royal Court. Having traded the Mirage Transformation Pearl for a Ruins Market Walking Rank and several Red Oddities before, he had been a frequent visitor to the Ruins Market in recent years.

And there he was, bringing a 5000-year-old Deep Sea Clam Pearl, currently selecting a Strange Object to his liking in the Oddity Exchange Shop.

Nearly a year had passed, and Song Yufeng had sent him another batch of Starry Sea Oddities he had purchased. Although there were only three Red Oddities, there were quite a few Orange Oddities, over twenty, and even more below the level of Purple.

With the addition of these Strange Objects, the high-rank Strange Objects, which had been exhausted by the Qingtian Tribe, were replenished to a certain extent, preventing the Oddity Exchange Shop from appearing too barren.

Considering that the addition of this 5000-year-old Deep Sea Clam Pearl would most likely bring about another significant breakthrough in his Guidance Technique, Song Chi's mood was quite good.

Strolling around, he headed toward the free stall area.

After a period of buffering, the free stall area was now populated with a significant number of alien species, and Song Chi thought to see if he could find any bargains.

To be honest, he hadn't picked up any great bargains in this free stall area for quite some time, and he was somewhat unwilling to let this go. How could any trading in the infinite Starry Sea market be complete without scooping up some overlooked treasures?

Soon enough, Song Chi, highly curious, stopped in front of a stall with many alien species gathered around.

The owner of this stall was a Third Rank Level Half-Rodent, with items laid out in front of it, interestingly enough, lumps wrapped in sturdy, special strata.

Despite this, the stall was quite popular.
