Chapter 798: Chapter 419: The Ruins Market Reopens – Sixth Rank [Moon Spring] _2

“Right, about the Black Hole Dense Stone…”

Due to a rather favorable impression, when Song Chi mentioned the Black Hole Dense Stone, this robust-built minister did not digress.

“This resource, we do have some in our department, but your Highness knows how vital this resource is for ordinary starships, so we can’t spare much.”

After continued bargaining, Song Chi exchanged 100 strands of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin for 700 standard Black Hole Dense Stones.

After obtaining these 700 Black Hole Dense Stones, Song Chi immediately began to enhance the [Black Hole Evolution Layer] component.

Eventually, it took another 630 Black Hole Dense Stones and 340 Titanium Crystals to enhance the [Black Hole Evolution Layer] to LV30.

Once he reached Third Rank, the changes in this component’s attributes were not so significant.

Besides the basic effect of engine energy supply efficiency enhancement from 100% to 160%.

The only other change observed was in the “Black Hole: Energy Devouring” feature’s Black Hole Energy Pool; what were originally (10/10) energy pools had now reached (10/300), and it would not be long before these were filled.

As for the damage reduction, it remained at 50%, with no other changes.

The last feature, “Black Hole: Collapse,” had changed in its requirements to trigger the ‘collapse’ effect. The consumption of Black Hole Energy per occurrence had changed from 1 point to 1–30 points, which could be adjusted by the ship captain’s thoughts; the more the Black Hole Energy consumed, the mightier the collapse effect would become.

For this feature, Song Chi had a simple plan—bind it to one of the secondary cannons and use the minimum energy cost of 1 point to achieve the largest scale of damage when encountering large groups of enemies.

If facing an enemy with astonishing individual combat power, bind it to the [Bow of the Annihilation of All Spirits] super main cannon and use the maximum Black Hole Energy consumption combined with the “Twin Bead Arrow” feature, striving to inflict the maximum damage in a single strike—perfection itself.

Unfortunately, the last two features “Black Hole: Singularity Rapid Explosion” and “Black Hole Domain” remained constant and did not change with the component’s enhancement.

Moreover, with this component loaded, Song Chi could feel the gradual enhancement of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s hull, albeit small, yet a cumulative increase over time would certainly astonish everyone.

Later, while waiting for detailed intelligence about the Chaotic Star Field collected by the Foreign Affairs Department of his family, and waiting for the complete cooldown of all features of the warship, Song Chi once again initiated several market trades in the Ruin Market.

This day, the Ruin Market trade resumed.

The Dark Night Elf had still not brought up the topic of “Moon Spring”, but Song Chi took the initiative to inquire using the Sound of Law.

“Regarding the Moon Spring, has your tribe behind considered it already?”

Hearing this, the Fourth Rank Dark Night Elf first bowed, then replied with some difficulty, “Your Highness, the main matriarch of our clan has been in seclusion; please allow me to urge the elders once more!”

After speaking, she returned to the inn and quickly left the market.

Half an hour later, the Fourth Rank Dark Night Elf returned.

This time, she finally brought good news.

At the Oddity Exchange Shop, the Fourth Rank Dark Night Elf respectfully said, “Great Lord of the Ruins Market, our main matriarch has emerged from seclusion and has personally agreed to this matter!”

Saying this, she took two jade boxes from her storage belt.

Using the Power of Ruins Market Law, Song Chi quickly ascertained the specific items inside the two jade boxes.

One contained a Fifth Rank Moon Spring and the other a Sixth Rank Moon Spring.

The Fifth Rank Moon Spring could extend life by 100 years, and also allowed Torch Ship Captains of Fifth Rank and below to immediately complete the cooldown of the Seed of Torch.

The Sixth Rank Moon Spring could extend life by 400 years and allowed Torch Ship Captains of Sixth Rank and below to instantly complete the cooldown of the Seed of Torch.

Strictly speaking, for Torch Human Civilization, just the Sixth Rank Moon Spring alone would be equivalent to a Silver Legendary Oddity.

And for the races of the Starry Sea, adding a Fifth Rank Moon Spring would be enough.

Thus, Song Chi’s reply was quick.

[Agreed!]

With the trade complete, the two Moon Springs, lifted by the invisible Power of Law, were quickly delivered into Song Chi’s hands, while the [Ruin Market Projection Rank], already handed over to the Dark Night Elf, officially took effect, which, for many years to come, would enable her to summon the Projection of the Markets of the Heavens to assist whenever desired.

However, after this, an unexpected event occurred that greatly surprised Song Chi.

He had thought that bringing out two high-quality Moon Springs would be the largest gesture from the Dark Night Elf Clan, yet what followed was a direct shift of focus to the Gold Oddity [Book of Spirit Language] that had just been placed in the Oddity Exchange Shop not long ago.

“Lord of the Ruins Market, how would you like to trade this ‘Book of Spirit Language’ Oddity?”

After a brief moment of astonishment, Song Chi’s thoughts whirled, and he quickly responded:

“Quite simply, a barter trade.”

“Barter trade, then…”

The Fourth Rank female dark elf muttered softly and then bowed again.

“Understood, my lord, please wait a moment!”

With that, she left the market through the inn once more.

In the free stall area of the Ruins Market, Song Chi strolled slowly among the various stalls, deep in thought.

“Could it be that the Dark Night Elf Clan has another surprise for me?”

He didn’t voice this thought aloud but mused silently to himself, anticipation nonetheless genuine.

In the Divine Country, within the Dark Night Forest.

Known as a primeval forest that is famed within the Divine Country, the Dark Night Forest is home to countless races, but the undoubted supreme race is the Dark Night Elf Clan.

In the northern part of the Dark Night Forest is the New Moon Tribe.

As one of the five great tribes of the Dark Night Elves in the Dark Night Forest, the New Moon Tribe had thrived for tens of thousands of years.

In the New Moon Elf Temple, at this moment, the New Moon Matriarch and the group of New Moon elders were all present when a Fourth Rank Dark Night Elf suddenly appeared in the middle of the temple.

However, seeing this scene, the tribal leaders showed no surprise but rather full of anticipation.

“How did it go?”

The New Moon Matriarch, enshrouded in the swirling power of dominion, spoke up.

The Fourth Rank Dark Night Elf knelt on one knee and respectfully reported:

“Responding to the Matriarch, the ‘Ruins Market Projection Rank’ has officially been unsealed; we can now activate this token at any time to summon the projection of the Ruins Market Lord.”

“Additionally, the Lord of the Ruins Market requests for a barter trade for the ‘Book of Spirit Language’ Oddity.”

Hearing this, the faces of the elves in the temple brightened up, they exchanged glances, and the New Moon Matriarch was the first to speak:

“Let’s vote by a show of hands, those in favor of trading the Oddity, raise your hands.”

After she finished speaking, the whole temple was silent for a while until an elderly Sixth Rank female Dark Night Elf was the first to raise her hand.

With her taking the lead, many other elders quickly raised their hands as well.

Eventually, the hands raised by the Dark Night Elf elders surpassed seventy percent of the temple’s occupants.

Seeing the outcome, the New Moon Matriarch hesitated no longer, her hands rapidly manipulating the dark night light, and soon, a mini stele radiating blinding golden light appeared.

This mini stele was handed to the Fourth Rank Dark Night Elf.

“Go, exchange this Wondrous Oddity for the ‘Book of Spirit Language’…”

As she spoke, the New Moon Matriarch paused, then pulled out another item from her person.

After handing it over, the Fourth Rank Dark Night Elf vanished once more from the temple.

Seeing that the Fourth Rank Dark Night Elf had entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, some worried voices of the Dark Night Elf elders echoed in the temple.

“Matriarch, directly taking out that ‘Divine Country Mission Stele’, won’t it arouse the greed of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market Master, considering it’s a Golden Sanctuary Wondrous Oddity!”

No sooner had these words been spoken than the piercing gaze of the New Moon Matriarch in the center of the temple suddenly turned towards the elder who had spoken.

“If you were worried, why didn’t you speak earlier? The person has already entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, what use is there in saying these things now?”

With that said, no other Dark Night Elf elders dared to say anything more.
