Amidst his excitement, Song Chi quickly forgot the disappointment brought about by the Spatial Anchor Point feature and turned to the now-1000-meter wide free stall area. He summoned the Cangqiong once again.
After scanning the area, his gaze fell on two components: the Purple River Translocation Device and the Fixed-Point Launch Pad.
Both were blue components that did not require Titanium Crystal resources; previously, due to a shortage of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, he had not continued their enhancement.
Dozens of seconds later, after consuming a total of 698 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi upgraded both components to Third Rank.
Upon reaching Third Rank, both components underwent a qualitative leap in their attributes.
Purple River Translocation Device lv30
Consumption: 10,000 per use (Spectral Energy Points)
Effect: After charging, the warship can perform spatial jumps in a specified direction. Current maximum translocation distance: 100 light-years
Charge time: 20 minutes; Buffer time: 8 hours
UpRank Requirement: 10 strands of Floating Land Origin (Third Rank), 25,000 Spectral Energy Points, 10 Void Crystals (Second Rank)
Fixed-Point Launch Pad lv30
Consumption: 5,000 per use (Spectral Energy Points)
Charge: 20 seconds; Buffer: 4 hours
Effect: Deploy qualified items (organisms) to specified coordinates. Current maximum deployment distance: 4 light-years
UpRank Requirement: 10 strands of Floating Land Origin (Third Rank), 25,000 Spectral Energy Points
The maximum translocation distance of the Purple River Translocation Device increased from 40 light-years to 100 light-years.
The deployment distance of the Fixed-Point Launch Pad went from 2 light-years to 4 light-years. Once the level of the Brainwave Remote Control System is also enhanced, the combined effect of using the two will be even more powerful.
After enhancing these two components, Song Chi still had a little over a thousand strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin left, and the Titanium Crystal count was still under 190.
After some thought, he decided not to continue enhancing and kept these as reserve resources.
After storing the Cangqiong away, Song Chi finally shifted his attention to the three components: All-Attributes Cultivation Room, Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform, and Spectral Energy Protective Array.
Following the Ruins Market's promotion to Second Rank, these three components could also be further upgraded. After consuming several hundred strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, all three were enhanced to lv20.
As for their attributes, the promotion by a Great Rank naturally brought about significant changes.
Starting with the Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform, when it was at lv19, even with the additional bonus from the Second Rank Ruins Market, it could only deploy 58 Spatial Gates. However, after the successful promotion, this number surged to 75.
Furthermore, with the entry of Second Rank Alien Star Domain creatures into the Ruins Market in the future, one can imagine that each Ruins Market transaction will be even more heated, and his profits will significantly increase.
Then there is the All-Attributes Cultivation Room. At lv19, its bonuses for regular cultivation and Spectral Energy cultivation were 735% and 1470%, respectively.
Now, these enhancements have become 900% and 1800%.
During Spectral Energy cultivation, the enhancement has reached 1800%, while on a regular Torch Warship with a lv20 Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform, the enhancement is only 600%.
There's a full threefold difference between them.
One should not underestimate this multiple; accumulated over time, the gap between Song Chi and other Torch Ship Captains will only become more terrifying.
Finally, the Spectral Energy Protective Array. This configuration has been given more emphasis by Song Chi ever since the Void Demon incident, being enhanced to the highest level as soon as possible after every Ruins Market promotion.
Previously at lv19, its Defence, Shield Value, and Post-overload Buffer time were as follows.
[Shield Value: 285000/285000]
[Post-overload Buffer: 22 minutes]
[Shield Value: 1500000/1500000]
[Post-overload Buffer: 20 minutes]
At merely Second Rank, the Shield Value has already reached an astounding one and a half million. This figure alone is enough to illustrate the terror of the Spectral Energy Protective Array.
Be aware that an Orange Quality Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator component when enhanced to the maximum lv29 of Second Rank Level, has a Shield Value of just over 300,000. The comparison speaks for itself.
Within the cloud depths of the Dragon Spine Continent sky, the 120-meter-long Cangqiong hovered quietly.
In the Cangqiong Main Control Room, Song Chi held the Ruins Market Walking Rank token in his hand thoughtfully.
He wanted to test whether the Cangqiong could trigger the Law Enhancement effects of the Ruins Market Walking Rank, or if only he himself could receive this enhancement.
Only by clarifying this could he more accurately assess his own strength, and only then could he make more reasonable decisions in various emergencies.
He could not afford to fall into danger or miss out on any incredible opportunities due to a misjudgment of strength.
Spectral Energy surged within him, slowly infusing into the Silver Token in his hand.
After a short while, a subtle silvery glow emanated from the Ruins Market Walking Rank in his hand.
This silvery light first enveloped Song Chi's entire body, causing his original First Rank strength to soar, allowing him to step directly into Second Rank Level.
Feeling the immense power that had arisen within him, Song Chi felt no excitement. If the enhancement could only be applied to himself, then it would actually be bad news for him.
As a Torch Ship Captain, he couldn't abandon his Torch Warship to engage in close combat with enemy units. No matter how strong he was personally, its utility was limited.
However, just at that moment, his eyes suddenly sharpened. Just now, the Seed of Torch within his Ancestral Aperture at his glabella had begun to tremble violently.
Immediately after, a wisp of blue Origin Torch burst forth from the Ancestral Aperture. This blue Origin Torch seemed to turn into a special catalyst, and with its emergence, the silver-white radiance that had been surrounding him started to slowly flow towards the Cangqiong below.
