Global Era of Star trekking

With that, the high-level goblin finally got on the right track.

It no longer offered things of little value, but instead solemnly took out several items from its briefcase.

The first was naturally the goblin magic energy detector that could be converted into an orange radar.

Second was a mass of Floating Land Origin, a thousand threads of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin.

The third item was the design plan for the Goblin War God Mech.

Song Chi’s gaze shifted, and without responding immediately, he pondered for a while and had a thought.

Meanwhile, new text emerged on the projection screen above the central counter in the Oddity Exchange Shop.

[Let’s talk about that Goblin War God Mech design plan]

The Goblin War God Mech, a symbolic combat power of the ancient goblin civilization from millions of years ago, was documented in the official records of Torchlight Humanity as follows:

The Goblin War God Mech, the ultimate product of the ancient goblin god-making project, came in Ancient First Generation, Ancient Second Generation, and Ancient Third Generation. Just the Ancient First Generation Goblin War God Mech alone had regular Fourth-Rank Combat Power and was the absolute military force in the ancient goblin civilization’s external warfare.

However, this was also the reason for their ultimate downfall. Mass producing units with Fourth-Rank combat power and above, combined with the absence of supreme combat forces within their civilization, eventually led to other civilizations’ siege and gradual obliteration over the course of time.

As for the reputation of this Goblin War God Mech, Song Chi was well aware; however, he had heard that after the fall of the ancient goblin civilization, the method of constructing these mechs had been long lost. That’s why he hadn’t taken it too seriously at first—after all, there were countless fake Goblin War God Mech design plans in the Shattered Starry Sea, far too many to count.

It was only when he saw the other party placing the design plan alongside an orange-quality oddity that he became slightly interested and wanted to hear what they had to say.

"Speaking of this Goblin War God Mech design plan, we must start from the first generation of my Thor family..."

As expected, the thing once again started to boast. Song Chi drew upon the Power of Laws and new text appeared on the projection screen.

[No need for the rest, are there any finished products?]

With these words, the high-level goblin’s voice faltered.

"Although one has never been built, that’s merely because my Thor family has fallen into decline. If..."

Before it could say anything more, the projection screen already provided a response.

[Add 200 threads of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin to that orange oddity!]

Song Chi originally intended to exchange Terra Primeval Stone for the orange radar but, considering the goblin’s penny-pinching nature, he decided to add 200 threads of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin, leaving some room for the highly probable haggling to follow.

Hearing this price, as expected, the goblin, which was very respectful a moment ago, immediately started hopping mad.

When it came to money, they didn’t care about any big shot or not, valuing money as life itself, which was ingrained in their very bones.

"Great Lord of the Ruins Market, a fair trade is the rule you established..."

After listening to the creature ramble for a while, the final trade price was settled on:

The goblin magic energy detector + 500 threads of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin

As the Terra Primeval Stone was handed over to it, Song Chi also received the orange-quality [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magic Energy Detection Radar] along with 500 threads of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin.

The 500 threads of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin were an unexpected pleasant surprise; for this, Song Chi was extremely satisfied.

Because when you really calculate it, this meant that he only used 20 threads of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin to get his hands on one of the rarest basic components, the orange radar, plus 500 threads of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, which was definitely a huge and special profit.

Before the goblin left, Song Chi appropriately brought up the topic of the space box, but the result he got wasn’t promising.

According to the goblin, this space box, named "Romasi Space Box," indeed utilized spatial folding technology. However, even in the Silver Goblin Empire, such an item was rare. The one he had was acquired by his family at great cost before their decline, and it was not for sale.

In light of this, Song Chi muttered to himself that it was to be expected. Dealing with spatial technology was never easy, no matter the level of civilization it was placed in.

...

As the high-level goblin returned to his stall with a flushed face, Song Chi, disguised as a jackalwolf, began his major purchasing spree.

He bought 20 magic missile launchers directly. These devices didn’t require specific ammunition, they consumed magic energy. Strictly speaking, magic stones, Terrastones to be precise, were the actual ammunition, and their might wasn’t bad, capable of reaching around Second Rank.

But they weren’t cheap, costing him 2,000 tendrils of First Rank Floating Land Origin.

Goblin high-explosive grenades were not much different from the energy grenades used by the Chenxing Principality military, but they were more expensive and he bypassed them.

Deep Space Magic Energy Bombing Drones had an impressive effect when paired with the Brainwave Remote Control System, and their power was also extremely astonishing, with the blast center reaching a Third Rank Energy Level.

However regrettably, these drones were one-time, suicide-style units that would be completely scrapped after a single use, with no possibility of recovery, and the price was exorbitant—100 tendrils of Second Rank Floating Land Origin each.

Translated into Song family’s merit points, that was 0.5 Golden Merit Points, and ten drones equaled one purple component. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After some hesitation, Song Chi still bought 5 drones, essentially spitting back out the 500 tendrils of Second Rank Floating Land Origin he had overcharged for the Terrastones.

Although expensive, the might of these drones was indeed undeniable, and once activated, they could generate a layer of magic energy cloaking shield on their surface, temporarily blocking the perception of Third Rank and lower creatures. Their performance was beyond criticism.

Of course, these 5 Deep Space Magic Energy Bombing Drones would be stored in the Ruins Market as an emergency measure, to be used only at critical moments.

At a price of 100 tendrils of Second Rank Floating Land Origin each, he did have some money to spare, but he wasn’t so extravagant as to use them carelessly.

Finally, the Goblin Magic Energy Battle Armor, which he also wanted to buy a few sets of, since compared to exoskeleton powered armors and alloy armors, it was much lighter. But it was specifically designed for goblins and could not be worn by typical humanoid creatures, so he had no choice but to give up.

...

An hour before the end of this Ruins Market trading session, Song Chi, as on several previous occasions, used a Ruins Market Guest Token as a bargaining chip to start an auction unlike the usual ones.

Of course, except for the first time, he had learned his lesson in subsequent sessions and did not put up multiple Ruins Market Guest Tokens at once; instead, he limited it to just one each time.

In doing so, he could stir up the desires of various alien species without running out of Ruins Market Guest Tokens for the next transaction—killing two birds with one stone.

The level of the Ruins Market was now enhanced to lv19, and he would not be able to condense a new Ruins Market Guest Token in a short time, so naturally, he had to plan for its future use.

As the detailed attributes of the Ruins Market Guest Token appeared above The Vault of Heaven, the crowd of alien species below immediately exploded in excitement.

And as expected, upon seeing the attributes of the Ruins Market Guest Token, that high-level goblin named "Luke Thor" was particularly eager.

If there were no other surprises, this Ruins Market Guest Token would likely end up in his hands.

After all, Song Chi had already planned for the purchase of Terrastones in his mind and could not do without a buyer.

It’s just unknown what good items this sleazy character could offer in the end for this Ruins Market Guest Token.

Thinking of this, Song Chi also felt a renewed sense of anticipation.

ps: Don’t ask me why the update is so late; I was about to take a leave. I’ve been writing continuously for two and a half months since the book started, and I wanted to slack off for a day.

But I’m afraid you’d scold me, and the book is currently in its growth phase, so I gritted my teeth and wrote another chapter. I am humble indeed, wuwuwu!!! Continue your journey at empire
