Global Era of Star trekking

...

Meanwhile, as the excited Fire Elemental Life left the Oddity Exchange Shop and headed towards the free stall area, Song Chi quickly set up his own stall at the perfect moment.

At this moment, he had transformed himself into a two-meter-tall, Second-Rank wolf barbarian.

Swish!

As he laid out a large amount of Fire Attribute Resources on the stall, the careful Fire Elemental Life, who had safely stored away the "Red Origin Heavenly Fire," was unsurprisingly attracted by the array of Fire Attribute Materials on his stall.

It was still that distinctive voice.

"Boss, how much are these Fire Attribute Materials?"

Having anticipated this, Song Chi quickly replied,

"Item exchange, preferably Fire Attribute Resources!"

Hearing this, the Fire Elemental Life rummaged through its belongings.

After taking out the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence, Fire Copper, Thousand Year Fire Camphor Heartwood, Firethorn Fruits, and other items, it spoke again:

"Will these do?"

Song Chi felt a tinge of excitement in his heart, but maintained a composed exterior, pointing at the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence and the Firethorn Fruit and said,

"These two are quite acceptable. Do you have any more of them in hand?"

The Fire Elemental Life hesitated.

"The Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence won't do; it's rather rare and depends on luck to find. I can get more Firethorn Fruits later, but that won't be until the next Ruins Market trade, you..."

Hearing this, Song Chi, who was prepared, immediately produced the "Ruins Market Guest Token."

"Don't worry, I will be able to enter the Ruins Market next time as well."

With that, he took the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence, Thousand Year Fire Camphor Heartwood, and Firethorn Fruit from the hands of the Fire Elemental Life, and at the same time, pushed most of the Fire Attribute Materials on the stall to the other party.

"These should be enough to exchange for these three items. Additionally, if you can get older Firethorn Fruits next time, I can provide even more Fire Attribute Materials!"

With the transaction satisfying both parties, the Fire Elemental Life had no reason to refuse. However, at this moment, Song Chi noticed that it had yet to collect the batch of Fire Attribute Materials.

"What's the matter?"

The Fire Elemental Life looked distressfully at the large batch of Fire Attribute Materials and said,

"I can't carry so much stuff out in one trip."

Hearing this, Song Chi, disguised as a wolf barbarian, feigned surprise,

"You don't know? Isn't there a 'Star Origin Empire Shop' inside the Ruins Market? Haven't you been there?"

Fire Elemental Life: ???

Facing the puzzled look on the other's face, Song Chi, who had been tracking the other's whereabouts all along, pretended to be unaware,

"No wonder, watch closely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached behind and took out two palm-sized capsule boxes.

He then gently tapped on the capsule boxes, which slowly opened. Song Chi then flipped his hand and poured out a large quantity of Fire Attribute Materials from the capsule boxes.

These materials were also exchanged from the Family Merit Hall previously, but he hadn't used that many in the trade with the Fire Elemental Life.

The Fire Elemental Life's eyes, glowing with fiery flames, blinked.

It coveted the large amount of Fire Attribute Materials in the hands of the wolf barbarian before it, secretly planning to gather more Firethorn Fruits once it returned to the Fire Elemental World. The Firethorn Fruit was only effective for Fire Attribute Physical Life, and useless for an elemental life like it; the trade was a guaranteed profit for it.

At the same time, it was also greatly interested in the two capsule boxes in Song Chi's hands. Despite being only the size of a palm, they could contain so many things, which truly aroused its curiosity.

In response, Song Chi, understanding what it was thinking, said:

"These things are called storage capsules, and they are a type of storage device jointly launched by the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and the Star Origin Empire stores. Don't be fooled by their palm-sized appearance; the space inside is actually one cubic meter."

Having said that, Song Chi pointed down the central street of the Ruins Market.

"All right, boss, keep the things here for a moment..."

Walking along the street of the Ruins Market, passing by three-story inns, oddity exchange shops, cultivation cottages, special resource acquisition stores, the House of Silver, Floating Land Origin exchange shops, centaur stalls, mineral resource stores, he finally reached the Star Origin Empire store specializing in Fire Elemental Life.

As he passed the House of Silver, Goblin Luke, who was idly sitting in his own shop, curled his lip with envy. The recent launch of storage capsules by the Star Origin Empire store, along with the heavy promotion on the Ruins Market entrance's magic screen, had made the rival shop's business extremely hot, which made Luke quite jealous.

Luke had tried numerous times to cooperate with Elon, hoping to buy a large number of storage capsules from him to sell at high prices back in the Silver Goblin Empire, but eventually found that Elon had already signed a related agreement with the Ruins Market. Apart from a small amount for sale within the market itself, large batches could only be sold with the market's own approval.

Moreover, since the market itself was accumulating a large number of storage capsules, how could it be the turn of the great Goblin Luke?

At the Star Origin Empire store, as soon as the Fire Elemental Life walked in, it immediately inquired about storage capsules.

Behind the counter, Elon said with a smile:

"Storage capsules, you say? We have three types here in our shop."

"The first type is just the size of a palm, with one cubic meter of internal space, priced at 3 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin.

The second type is about thirty centimeters long, with two cubic meters of internal space, priced at 1 strand of Second Rank Floating Land Origin.

The third type is about forty centimeters long, with four cubic meters of internal space, priced at 5 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin.

Which type would you like?"

After considering, the Fire Elemental Life said:

"Give me one of each type, no, make it three of the first type!"

Just as it was about to take out the not-so-plentiful Floating Land Origin from its body, Elon interrupted from behind the counter:

"I'm really sorry, but unless you can offer a Starry Sea Oddity, each person can purchase only one of each type of storage capsule!"

In the end, the Fire Elemental Life took out 3 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin and 6 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin to buy one of each type of storage capsule.

Song Chi watched the entire scene with utter clarity but felt little emotional change.

Because this purchase restriction was precisely what he had implemented.

As for the reason, firstly, even though Elon had gained some influence in the Star Origin Empire over more than a year, the number of storage capsules he could buy at low prices each month was still very limited.

Secondly, Song Chi was also accumulating these storage capsules, planning to sell them in the Torch Human Civilization Territory later on.

Moreover, he wanted to increase the circulation of strange objects within the Ruins Market.

Admittedly, this restriction was likely to only draw out strange objects of White and Blue Quality, but at least that was better than nothing.

As time passed, at the close of the Ruins Market, Song Chi once again took out both the [Ruins Market Guest Token] and [Ruins Market Walking Rank], initiating another auction. The result was quite disappointing, as nothing satisfactory appeared.

The only pleasant surprise might have been the Fire Elemental Life's intense interest after seeing the newly attributed [Ruins Market Walking Rank], with flames flickering uncertainly all over its body, which led Song Chi to have some significant anticipation for its future actions.

What Song Chi didn't know was that the turmoil in the heart of the Fire Elemental Life far exceeded his imagination.

Compared to the [Ruins Market Guest Token]'s monthly single entry to the Ruins Market, this [Ruins Market Walking Rank] was simply a life-saving treasure, and in the highly chaotic Fire Elemental World, it was exactly what it needed most.

Seeing that the auction had no result, Song Chi didn't linger. When the time came, he immediately concluded the trading session of this Ruins Market.

As for the exchange of Floating Land Origin, he had already adjusted the exchange prices at the Floating Land Origin exchange shops, just as he had listed them at his stall before, and this indeed resulted in a significant increase in the exchange amount of Floating Land Origin in the last two trading sessions of the Ruins Market.

After exiting the Ruins Market and holding six strands of Purple Fire Seed, Song Chi's only thought was to rush to the Family Merit Hall as quickly as possible to exchange for the Orange Quality Fire Source UpRank.
