Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1691 - 827: Transcendence Zone
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
To begin with, any hunting assignments involving mythical creatures were essentially disregarded.
While it was true that the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and the Zhu Tian Ruins Market currently possessed the strength to face ordinary mythical entities, they could only handle the most mediocre of that rank.
One could easily imagine the terrifying power of the targets displayed on the City of Transcendence’s hunting board. Even if these creatures weren't invincible within the Tenth Rank Mythical Level, they were undoubtedly cunning and nearly impossible to slay. Song Chi currently had no strategy for dealing with such foes.
"I might consider attempting this once the Mirror Image Splitting component reaches Colorful Upper-Rank Quality, allowing the Mirror Image Warship to replicate Colorful Extreme Position components like the Time Chess Board and Judgment Light!"
With these thoughts in mind, Song Chi’s gaze swept across the mountain of mission data. After ten minutes of filtering, he narrowed his focus to a few specific tasks.
[Trade Task:
Objective: Acquisition of all varieties of Starry Sea Oddities.
Note: Redemption value is determined by the quality and inherent worth of the oddity, paid in Transcendence Contribution Points.]
...
[Hunting Task:
Objective: Eradicate the Blood Ghost Raid Group within the Ancient Land of Heaven Tipping.
Intelligence: Chaos reigns within the Ancient Land of Heaven Tipping of the Chaos Divine Land. The Blood Ghost Raid Group is notorious for their heinous crimes; their frequent coordinates are listed below.
Reward: 20,000 Transcendence Contribution Points]
...
[Slave Task:
Objective: Secure individuals possessing exceptional genetic bloodline potential from across the heavens and myriad worlds.
Reward: 500 Transcendence Contribution Points for each River System Community-level genius; 1,000 points for a Super River System Community-level genius; 5,000 points for a Sub-civilization Pride; 10,000 points for a Civilization Pride; 100,000 points for a Sub-Chaos Level pride; 500,000 points for a Chaos Pride.]
...
Song Chi stared at the final task regarding the sheltering of prides from the myriad worlds, his eyes flickering with an intensity that revealed his inner turmoil.
Even now, he vividly remembered the rush of pride he felt when he first conquered the Bosha Heritage Tower and was labeled a Super River System-level Genius.
Yet, that prestigious evaluation didn't even meet the baseline requirements for the task before him. Seeing that a River System Community-level genius was worth a mere 500 points, he estimated a Super River System-level genius would likely fetch less than 100 points.
Song Chi calculated his own current worth to be somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000 Transcendence Contribution Points.
Naturally, if he factored in his greatest trump card, the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, reaching the status of a Sub-Chaos Level pride should be feasible. He remained uncertain about the Chaos Pride rank, however. To this day, he didn't believe he had ever encountered a true Chaos Level pride.
Without a point of reference, it was impossible to gauge the true height of a Chaos Level pride.
Even powerful figures like Luo Jia of the Eternal Clan or the Chaos Demon Ape "Jin Tu" were, at most, at the Sub-Chaos Pride level.
...
Song Chi focused on this specific mission because he knew the Shattered Starry Sea was vast. While River System and Super River System geniuses were rare, they were far from non-existent. Occasionally, one might even stumble upon Sub-civilization or Civilization Prides.
Given the current influence of the Dragon Spine Song Family, it wouldn't be too difficult to exert their full power to seize low-ranking, high-potential geniuses from various regions.
He could even broadcast this mission throughout the entire Torch Humanity, utilizing the massive scale of the Torch Civilization to scour the Alien Star Domain for low-level alien geniuses.
Having decided to accept these three tasks, Song Chi didn't immediately depart from the City of Transcendence. Instead, he quickly entered his Ruins Market.
When he reappeared, he held over a hundred Starry Sea Oddities of varying tiers.
These items came from the Ruins Market's exchange shop and were oddities that couldn't be transformed into ship components. However, the City of Transcendence only offered an 80% valuation for such items.
Had he not been desperate for the Transcendence Contribution Points required to buy a basic City of Transcendence Entry Order, he wouldn't have parted with these hundred-plus oddities.
No one enjoys a bad bargain.
Furthermore, considering that the Zhu Tian Ruins Market still only possessed eight spatial anchor points even after reaching the Ninth Rank, freeing one up was a logical move.
After successfully obtaining the Entry Order for 100 points, Song Chi took the opportunity to return to the Dragon Spine Continent.
Shortly after, an urgent family notification pinged in the communication group for the Song Family’s core members.
[{Family Head Song Yiming}: An urgent Level One family mission is now active. Marshall all family resources to locate and capture Super River System Community-level alien geniuses. There is no rank limit. The acquisition cost should not exceed the price of a Silver Oddity. Bring them all back!]
[{The First Direct Lineage Song Lingzhang}: Haha, no time limit or quantity cap? This is a long-term project. Hunting down young alien geniuses—how could I pass up such an exciting task?]
[{Connections Song Yueying}: A Super River System Community-level genius? That's a high bar. They are quite rare; can't we lower the requirements slightly?]
...
Song Chi didn't stop with the Song Family on Dragon Spine Continent. He immediately spread the word through the Dragon Spine Shops on the Demon Snake Floating Land, the Demon God Floating Land, other major trading hubs, and even the Red Maple Kingdom within the Heavenly Realm.
