National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 495 The one-year period has arrived

In fact, the reason why they agreed to Pan Ying's following was not entirely because of her potential, but also partly due to the Pan family itself.

Apart from anything else, the eight captains of Zhulu are not a small force in themselves. Moreover, this is in the Yinpan Galaxy. In the future, they can better collect various special resources and star sea wonders that cannot be converted into shipborne parts for him.

After thinking for a while, Song Chi took out a [Market Walking Token] from his Xinhuo Acupoint, handed it to Pan Ying, and told her the basic function of the token.

He will not stay in the Yinpan River System for too long. If he wants to contact them in real time in the future, it would be most appropriate to use the market as a transit point.

After receiving the [Market Access Order], Pan Ying, with a smile in her eyes, led Song Chi all the way to the Pan family's secret vault.

Pan Ying following him was only one of the conditions, and the previous requirement of entering the secret vault to select three items was also included.

When the two arrived at the gate of the underground secret vault, they were stopped by two members of the Pan family who were wearing special armor. Although their level of guidance skills was only third level, they possessed fourth level combat power.

"Elder, this person..."

Pan Ying waved her hand and explained:
"My Lord has agreed to help my Pan family. Entering the secret vault to select three items is one of the conditions."

After hearing this explanation, the two guards' faces lit up with joy. They stopped trying to stop them and let the two enter the secret vault.

The Pan family secret vault is quite large, and one can see what it looked like when it was prosperous. Unfortunately, although the secret vault is not small, many of the shelves are empty, and less than a quarter of them are filled with items.

Seeing this scene, Pan Ying's low voice came to my ears.

"The family has been spending more than it earns in recent years, and the secret vault is already mostly empty. It's definitely not something that was taken away intentionally before!"

After saying that, the two began to walk around in the secret vault.

Red energy shield
Ordinary orange upgraded fire source

6 titanium crystals
1 piece of mixed copper

……

As they walked along, all kinds of items flashed before Song Chi's eyes. Just when the two were about to finish touring the secret vault, Song Chi's eyes lit up and he saw something that surprised him greatly.

"Is this antimatter source useful to you, my Lord?"

Song Chi nodded, and without caring that he had not yet finished looking at all the items in the secret vault, he directly took the large amount of antimatter source.

This ball of antimatter source is almost the same as the one he obtained from the black hole in the Huntian Star Domain. After allowing the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] to devour it, its evolutionary progress should be able to reach two-thirds. In this way, this golden sanctuary engine will be one step closer to being completely upgraded to black quality.

A few minutes later, the two of them walked around the entire secret vault.

Song Chi had only two words to describe the Pan family's secret vault: very poor.

Compared to their own secret vault which was still under expansion, the Pan family's secret vault was really shabby. Not only were there no silver-quality rare items or parts, but even the red parts were only four or five scattered around. It was really a miserable sight.

Perhaps because she saw what Song Chi was thinking, Pan Ying also felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir!"

Song Chi shook his head and made no comment.

After thinking about it, in addition to the original antimatter source, he also took the Hunyuan Copper. This thing is a universal strengthening resource and is often needed in the Zhutian Market. Now he only has one piece left in his hand. With this piece, the total number of pieces will increase to two, so he naturally has to take it.

As for the final choice, he hesitated for a few seconds and finally walked to the pile of titanium crystals.

He glanced at Pan Ying sideways, and she happened to look over at him carefully with her crystal clear eyes. Although she immediately looked away when their eyes met Song Chi's, Song Chi still saw the conflict that flashed across her eyes.

After thinking about it, he only took half, which was 30,000 out of 60,000 titanium crystals.

It is not difficult to see from Pan Ying's reaction that these tens of thousands of titanium crystals are probably the last reserves of the Pan family. Although with his appearance, the Pan family will not be further suppressed in the future, but if they want to turn defense into offense and switch from contraction to outward expansion, they must at least wait until Pan Ying's guiding technique breaks through and completely becomes a formal battleship captain.

That is to say, during this period, the only titanium crystals that the Pan family can use for circulation are probably these 60,000 pieces. If Song Chi takes them all away, the Pan family will have a harder time in the future.

Seeing that Song Chi only took 30,000 titanium crystals, Pan Ying's eyes turned into crescent shapes.

"Thank you, sir!"

As she spoke, she also took something out of her body.

"Sir, there is also this..."

Turning around, he saw that it was the component of [Dingkong Suotian Seal] that he had returned before.

Taking the silver component, Song Chi's eyes fell on the orange upgraded fire source on the side, and then he turned his gaze to Pan Ying.

"I'll take that orange fire source as well, is that ok?"

"Ok!"

Pan Ying's answer came out almost immediately.

However, Song Chi had not finished speaking.

"As compensation, come back in two days and I will give you a ray of red fire source for upgrading!"

...Song Chi did not make the decision on impulse to take out one of the five level six [Silver Apples] that were about to mature and use it to evolve and upgrade the fire source. Instead, he made the decision after careful consideration.

From the moment Pan Ying accepted the master-servant contract, he began to consider this matter, and finally made this decision after considering many factors.

The most important reason, of course, lies in her potential. Obtaining the red upgraded fire source in advance can make a qualitative leap in the combat power of Pan Ying's ship, and also allow her to do more things for herself in front of others in the future.

Two days later, the five sixth-level [Silver Apples] in the [Cultivation Secret Realm] were fully mature.

Song Chi took one out and evolved the orange fire source into red. Finally, under Pan Ying's eager and grateful gaze, he handed it to her.

"Okay, go back and retreat. Try your best to break through the fifth level of the Guidance Technique in one go. Don't worry about the Annan Consortium. I will take care of it!"

"Yes, thank you, sir!"

……

In the main control room of the Tianxu Cangqiong, Song Chi's eyes moved across the orange parts of the warship.

Soon, he took out the second [Silver Apple], evolved the [Proportional Zoomer] component to red quality, and strengthened it to level 60.

The brand new third characteristic is the "zooming factor increased by 100%" that Song Chi actively extracted using the [Strange Object Origin Improvement Platform].

In this way, the maximum zoom factor of this component reached 1000 times. At this magnification, the body of the [Long-Finned Whale] was only one kilometer long, greatly reducing the space it occupied.

Next came the third, fourth, and fifth [Silver Apples]. After careful consideration, the [Void Membrane], [Life System Medical Repair Cabin], and [Aurora Jump Device] were finally chosen.

The reason why these three components were chosen is very simple.

[Void Membrane] is because its concealment effect is permanent. Compared with the "Mirage" which has a time limit, the permanent concealment state is obviously more important to Song Chi.

The characteristic selected after evolution is the characteristic term "Hidden Authority Improved by One Level" extracted from another high-quality hidden component.

Song Chi had spent a lot of effort to extract this feature, and its effect is very simple. If other radars want to detect the concealment effect of the [Void Membrane], they must surpass the [Void Membrane] by one level in quality and strengthening level.

For example, if the [Xukong Membrane] itself has only been enhanced to level 50, and with its current red epic quality, in order to detect its concealment effect and discover the existence of the Tianxu Cangkong, it must be a silver patrol radar enhanced to level 60 or above, and level 59 is not enough.

At this time, Song Chi directly strengthened the [Void Membrane] to level 60. In other words, in the future, only silver and higher patrol radars strengthened to level 70 or above can capture the Tianxu Cangqiong in a permanent hidden state.

Of course, if it is a gold-quality patrol radar, since its quality is two levels higher than the [Void Membrane], it only needs to be strengthened to lv60, and the [Void Membrane] will be exposed in front of it.

But no matter what, this feature of "hidden authority improved by one level" is undoubtedly a super-excellent feature. If it is improved to gold or even black hidden parts in the future, the Tianxu Cangqiong will be extremely difficult to be discovered by other creatures and radars in the starry sea.

[Life System Medical Repair Cabin] Needless to say, it is a life-saving component.

The last [Aurora Jump Device], the orange-quality jump component has a single jump distance that is too short, only one thousand light years. In order to get to the Galactic Galaxy, most of the time was spent on the journey.

After evolving into red quality and being strengthened to the sixth stage, coupled with a feature that increases the jump distance, the maximum jump distance of the [Aurora Jump Device] has skyrocketed from 1100 light years to 3000 light years.

At this point, all the [Silver Apples] have been used.

The more excited he was when using it, the more uncomfortable Song Chi feels now.

To be honest, he wished he could evolve all the orange parts on the battleship to red quality at once, which would be enough to make the combat power of the Tianxu Cangqiong surge again.

However, in reality, the production speed of [Silver Apples] is a headache. Even with the feature of "Secret Realm Accelerator", the production interval of each round of [Silver Apples] is still as high as more than 20 years, close to 30 years.

Under this premise, it will obviously take a very long time to evolve all the orange parts on the Tianxu Cangqiong to red quality.

Song Chi knew that this had something to do with the level of the [Silver Apple]. Before this, the production cycle of the fourth and fifth level [Silver Apples] was much shorter than this.

Boom boom boom!
As thoughts were racing in my mind, a sudden and intense roar came from the sky above my head.

"It's here! It's so fast!"

He quickly left the underground battleship summoning room, and when the Tianxu Cangqiong was summoned, Song Chi rushed straight into the sky.

He had suspected the attack, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Above the sky, when Song Chi arrived, the eight Zhulu ships of the Pan family had already arrived. The light at the bows of the eight warships was constantly condensing, and they continued to bombard dozens of Zhulu ships outside the floating land shield.

It was not until they saw the appearance of the Tianxu Cangqiong that the elders of the Pan family breathed a sigh of relief.

Before they could speak, Song Chi raised his hand first, asking the Pan family members to stop their attacks.

At the same time, three 10,000-meter-long battleships located deep in the outer starry sky also tacitly issued the same order.

Seeing that both sides had ceased fire, the Tianxu Cangqiong rushed straight out of the floating land shield.

After a while, the four battleships successfully met in the starry sky.

In the battleship group chat, the captain of the Extreme Battleship among the three members of the Annan Consortium spoke up:

"My friend, I [Annan Group] have given you face. Now the one-year period is up. It would be against the rules for you to take action again!"
