Chapter 846: Chapter 443: Surprise – Universal Cooldown Reduction Component [Time Chess] Chapter 846: Chapter 443: Surprise – Universal Cooldown Reduction Component [Time Chess] After exchanging greetings, Song Chi also learned some information about this person from Seyn Chenxing’s introduction.

The tall and thin captain was named Porter Howell, born into the Howell Family Clan of the Godwind Floating Land.

However, he wasn’t from the main lineage of the Howell Family, either past or present. Instead, he came from a side branch, originally not well-known but has become prominent as a Zhulu Warship Captain within the last thirty years.

The group chatted casually with smiles on their faces.

Yet, at the bottom of his heart, Song Chi was guessing the relationship between the two.

“Coincidence? Or is it that the Howell Family of the Godwind Floating Land was supported by the Chenxing Imperial Family?”

“The Lu Family supports the Godwind Li Clan, and the Chenxing Imperial Family supports the Howell Family Clan, seems plausible.”

…

“Brother Song Chi, I heard from my sister that you’ve been acquiring Black Hole Dense Stones?”

Seyn Chenxing’s sudden inquiry pulled Song Chi’s thoughts back, who then gently nodded.

“Yes, a special component requires it.”

Seeing him nod, Seyn Chenxing clapped his hands and said with a smile:

“What a coincidence, Porter just happens to have a batch, I think you two can talk.”

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in Porter Howell’s eyes, clearly unexpected.

Song Chi nodded towards Seyn Chenxing, his eyes carrying a sense of gratitude.

The other party was smoothly lending him a hand, saving him from having to awkwardly bring it up later.

“Brother Porter, what do you think? If you have the intention to sell, we can negotiate the price, it definitely won’t be lower than the market price.”

On the other side, Porter Howell waved his hand.

“Your Highness Song Qi, no need to be polite. The normal market price is fine; these stones were just something I acquired recently on a Fifth Level Floating Land, not in large quantities.”

Saying this, he casually took out several hundred dark black stones, which were the Black Hole Dense Stones.

Although Song Chi had already withdrawn from the family’s Fifth Rank positions at the beginning of the year, this title given by Porter Howell was not misplaced as it hadn’t been publicly announced yet.

As for the fact that the other party agreed so readily and only asked for the market price, Song Chi could roughly guess some reasons.

This development war had progressed to this point, most Torch Ship Captains generally weren’t lacking resources, especially for someone like Porter Howell who had made quite a name for himself; thus, using a small number of Black Hole Dense Stones to gain a favor from a future definite authority figure of the Song Family clearly made more sense.

Song Chi wouldn’t refuse, and with this batch of Black Hole Dense Stones, the [Black Hole Evolution Layer] component could be enhanced up to the Sixth Rank, marking a qualitative change for a Black Supreme Component.

After completing the transaction, without much further chat, silence suddenly fell outside the private room, and upon exiting, they learned that the very person who organized this private trade meet had appeared.

After a brief introduction from Ansewei at his side, Song Chi learned that the unremarkable-looking man in the middle of the large hall was the main organizer of this trade meeting.

This man was named Xiao Yuan, a direct descendant ofAppraisal from the Dongli Xiao Family. Although not from the legitimate succession sequence of this generation’s Dongli Heavenly King Manor, it was said that he had the backing of a Dreadnought Captain, hence why people participating in the trade meeting were quite respectful.

“Friends, I won’t say much. Since everyone is here, I won’t delay further. Let’s get straight to the main topic.”

Saying this, Xiao Yuan clapped lightly, and dozens of maidens bearing various teas and pastries filed in. Simultaneously, a platform slowly rose in the center of the hall, causing a slight tremor.

Stepping onto the platform, Xiao Yuan continued:

“As this is a trade meeting, let’s start with me!”

With a flash of light, several items suddenly appeared in his hands.

“Red Enslavement Component [Heavenly Beast Seal], Red Water Attribute Intermediate Law Crystal, two drops of Fifth Rank Heavenly Star Tribe Primordial Blood, looking for priority exchange for Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin or higher, high-quality concealment components, the floor is open for bids!”

As he put his items up for trade and stated his preferred trading conditions, soon, nearly a hundred Torch Ship Captains among those present began to speak.

“I have an Orange Quality concealment component [Shadow Badge], and can add an equivalent amount of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin, can this exchange for that [Heavenly Beast Seal]?”

“Intermediate Metal Attribute Law Crystal, in exchange for the Water Attribute Law Crystal, would that work?”

…

Song Chi did not speak up, as none of these items were of use to him, rather it was Song Yan at his side constantly bidding, trying to acquire the [Heavenly Beast Seal].

Eventually, Song Yan successfully traded for the [Heavenly Beast Seal] with 50 strands of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin.

After all items Xiao Yuan had brought were traded, it wasn’t long before another person took to the platform.

This person, also a Fourth Rank in strength, came from a Fourth Rank family of the Kingdom; luck seemed on his side as he directly produced six items this time.

One Red Energy Shield

One Orange Main Cannon

One Orange Heavenly Star Tribe Soldier Figurine Tree Component

Three Fourth Rank Heavenly Star Tribe Primordial Blood

The attendees offering bids this time were notably fewer, most of them aiming for the Red Energy Shield.

Nonetheless, all items were eventually traded.

As such, one by one, Zhulu Warship Captains took the stage, each bringing out several valuable items, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively.

Song Yan, Ansewei, and others at Song Chi’s side more or less traded for one or two suitable items, yet Song Chi had yet to encounter the few things he needed.

As time passed and most of the Torch Ship Captains had taken their turn, just as Song Chi thought he might return empty-handed, a woman with an attractive figure stepped onto the platform.

She only brought out three items, yet it stirred all the captains present in the hall.
