Galaxy of Giant Ships: Starting with Data-Driven Warships

The Sky Patrol's cabin, the Energy Absorption and Training Room.

Dense psionic energy surged and churned. Chen Yao sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room. Under the frenzied enhancement of the internal guiding technique, his body was like a miniature black hole, with strands of psionic energy being visibly absorbed into his body.

Beneath the training clothes, where the skin clung tightly to her chest, Xiao Xing's efficiency in absorbing and releasing energy was noticeably greater than before.

Seven days have passed since he returned to Tianlan Star and entered formal seclusion. After he exchanged 50 merit points for two standard-weight life crystals for Xiaoxing, Xiaoxing had obviously grown a lot, and the speed at which he absorbed and exhaled external energy had also increased to a certain extent.

His original plan was to remain in seclusion until the Sky Patrol's alien domain deployment function cooled down, but the "Sky Patrol" notification he just heard in his mind forced him to temporarily suspend his cultivation.

"So, the 'unknown' mission is finally complete?"

With a thought, the attribute panel of the [Miracle Card Pool] appeared.

Miracle Card Pool Level 20

Quality: Silver

Feature: Miracle Taskbar

"Life's Sublimation: Omitted"

"Unknown: ... (10000/10000) (Completed)"

……

With a gentle tap of his right hand, a radiant light appeared before him, and the quest log was refreshed.

"Exploring the Alien Realm Again: The Alien Realm Deployment Function of the Sky Patrol is about to cool down. Please start the second Alien Realm Exploration as soon as possible. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with 700 Card Points."

Seeing that it was a mission that had appeared not long ago, Chen Yao didn't pay any more attention to it.

Unlike before, there are now less than half a month left before the Sky Surveyer's interstellar deployment function cools down, which is still acceptable.

At this moment, Chen Yao's attention was more drawn to the card that had appeared out of thin air in front of him.

It is the "Shop Card" that is rewarded after completing the "Unknown" quest.

He casually set it as the sixth fixed card in the [Miracle Card Master Pool], and then began to check the specific information of this card.

[Mall Card (Legendary): Upon activation, the user's consciousness can temporarily enter a special mall interface, gaining the right to purchase items within it. This lasts for half an hour, with a one-year cooldown.]

"Has my consciousness temporarily entered a special online store interface?"

After reading the description in the attribute panel, Chen Yao's doubts deepened.

Filled with confusion and curiosity, and with its cooldown time being relatively acceptable, Chen Yao calmed his mind and activated the Miracle Card by channeling the psionic energy within his body.

The next second, he felt a sudden darkness, and after a while, the world spun around him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely different world.

Looking around, he saw a closed space in an unknown void, with palm-sized orbs of light floating around him in all directions.

Chen Yao counted them and found that there were exactly one hundred orbs of light, no more and no less.

As he tentatively reached out his illusory right hand to touch one of the orbs of light, a message instantly appeared before his eyes.

【Product: Grade 3 Red Sand】

Quantity: 100kg

Price: 1000 Card Points

……

Realizing that each of the orbs of light contained a special item, Chen Yao immediately accelerated his movements, constantly touching the orbs of light as he waved his hand.

He remembered very clearly that the "Mall Card" only lasted for half an hour, and the time was limited.

As time passed, a wealth of information appeared before his eyes.

【Product: Regular "Qi and Blood Card"】

Quantity: One sheet

Price: 120 Card Points

……

【Item: White Rare Item [Talon's Blade]】

Quantity: One piece

Price: 200 Card Points

……

【Product: Premium "Flavor Card"】

Quantity: One sheet

Price: 600 Card Points

……

After touching all the light clusters, Chen Yao, relying on his fairly good memory, quickly filtered out more than 90% of the ordinary product information, leaving only the four that he considered valuable.

【Product: Tier 5 Silver Apple】

Quantity: One

Price: 80000 Card Points

……

【Product: The Red Mystery 【Time-Spirit Bell】】

Quantity: One piece

Price: 400000 Card Points

……

【Product: Tier 3 Wood Crystal】

Quantity: One

Price: 1500 Card Points

……

【Product: Premium "Advancement Card"】

Quantity: One sheet

Price: 800 Card Points

……

All four of these items were either incredibly valuable to him in the outside world or extremely beneficial to him after he had let go of his attachments; in short, they were all things that Chen Yao coveted.

The Silver Apple, a rare item in the boundless starry sea that can be used to enhance the quality of starry sea artifacts, has always been a strategic resource in the hands of various major powers.

Otherwise, the fact that Du Wenying successfully revived a silver apple mother tree spirit seed would not have directly alarmed the Chen family ancestral star.

The fifth-tier [Silver Apple] before us is a fifth-tier item that can evolve a designated purple artifact into an orange artifact, making its value immeasurable.

Unfortunately, its value was as high as 80000 card points, so Chen Yao could only look on with envy.

As for the red artifact [Time Bell], Chen Yao had already seen its attributes. Not only could it be transformed into shipboard parts, but it was also the cooldown reduction part he had been dreaming of. However, the terrifying 400,000 card points made him give up all his thoughts.

The third-tier Yi Wood Crystal is extremely attractive to both Du Wenying and Xiao Xing.

However, what truly captivated Chen Yao was the final "Advancement Card".

Despite being only of superior quality, it can assist creatures in making major breakthroughs. Although it is only effective for low-level creatures (below the third level), it still makes Chen Yao very envious.

[Rank Breakthrough Card (Superior): After use, it can assist low-ranking beings in achieving major rank breakthroughs. Rank breakthrough from 0 to 1: Increases success rate by 60%; Rank breakthrough from 1 to 2: Increases success rate by 40%; Rank breakthrough from 2 to 3: Increases success rate by 20%. Duration: 10 days. Cooldown: 6 months.]

Without any hesitation, he directly purchased the "Advancement Card".

[800 card points have been deducted from your Miracle account, leaving you with 5271 card points.]

Before he could even feel sorry for the card points he had painstakingly accumulated, a new notification sounded again.

[You have successfully purchased one item. During this Miracle Shop's open period, you can purchase two more items.]

Chen Yao raised an eyebrow.

He really didn't expect that the Miracle Mall would have a limit on the number of purchases each time.

However, he didn't dwell on this matter for too long, since his main problem at the moment was a severe shortage of card points.

Three items?

Right now, he's having a headache about whether or not to buy that third-tier Wood Crystal. He can't even bear to part with the second one, so why would he want a third?

After hesitating for a while, Chen Yao finally shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​buying it.

1500 card points is not cheap. If he were to buy it, his card points would immediately drop to 4000. The second exploration of the alien world is coming soon, and he will definitely need to use the Lucky Card then. Consuming too many card points now is obviously not in line with his previous plan.
