Chapter 229: Super-Strategic Level Resource [Mixed Elemental Copper]_2
As thoughts raced through his mind, the shipborne semi-automatic intelligence had already listed the detailed information about Mixed Elemental Copper.
Mixed Elemental Copper, a super-strategic level resource, extremely rare, prohibited from circulating in the market, also known as the all-purpose enhancement resource.
True to its name, there was only one effect of this resource – it could be designated as the required resource for the enhancement of any kind of shipborne component (except for the Floating Land Origin).
For instance, Law Stone, Titanium Crystal, Void Crystal, and so on – as long as it was a resource needed for the enhancement of a particular component, it could be substituted with Mixed Elemental Copper.
After reading the complete information, Song Chi was thrilled. Instinctively, he thought of a component he had once seen.
He remembered that back when he was in the White Tower Floating Land, he had attended an auction held by Baihe City. The finale of that auction featured a strange object known as "Progenitor's Blood".
Among the shipborne components this Purple Relic could be transformed into, there was one called the "Scarlet Blood Clan Genetic Modification Chamber", which could modify a human body into an immortal kind, the Scarlet Blood Clan.
As a component that could potentially extend lifespan, it should have been an extremely rare component, yet because it required an extinct enhancement material known as Scarlet Blood Clan essence blood, it turned into a white elephant.
Looking back, those auctioneers probably had never come across a resource on the level of Mixed Elemental Copper; otherwise, they might not have put it up for auction.
Reining in his thoughts, Song Chi quickly had the eight Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines send this batch of resources back first using the Brainwave Beacon to prevent any accidents.
After the Second-Rank Humanoid Alien Race successfully transported this batch of resources back to the Ruins Market, Song Chi directly stored the two pieces of Mixed Elemental Copper in the secure storage room. He didn't need it for now, but who knows about the future – naturally, it was imperative to keep it well.
Trade it away?
That was not an option, nor did Song Chi entertain the thought.
How could such an exceedingly rare item, which he was fortunate enough to obtain even in small quantities on the former Tri-Eyed Royal Family's flagship, be easily traded away?
Wouldn't it be better to keep it for emergencies or even to save his life in the future?
Inside the super-giant ancient flagship, the eight returning Puppet Soldier Figurines split into two groups: four continued back to the "Basic Mineral Storage Room 1" to unload resources, while the other four slowly headed towards the door of another nearby chamber.
As for the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine linked to Song Chi's brain waves, it stood between the two, ensuring that the Brainwave Beacon's command range just covered both sides, so the figurines wouldn't become idle.
This was the most time-saving method.
Soon, three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines arrived in front of another alloy chamber door directly across the corridor. From a distance, Song Chi could see the Tri-Eye Race's script engraved on the door.
He vaguely understood its meaning.
"Tri-Eye Divine Guards, Rest Chamber 1!"
Translating it, Song Chi slightly raised an eyebrow.
"Tri-Eye Divine Guards? What is that, personal guards of Chicang?"
Speculating, the three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines began to push the door together.
As time passed, Song Chi's expectant gaze gradually turned to disappointment. Despite the figurines' best efforts, the alloy chamber door showed no signs of opening. Clearly, it wasn't something that could be casually opened.
Helplessly, Song Chi could only have the three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines continue on to another chamber at the front of the corridor.
This chamber was called "Tri-Eye Divine Guards, Rest Chamber 2".
Once the three figurines were in place, they began their second attempt to push the door open.
With the first attempt's experience, Song Chi didn't have much expectation this time, and indeed it turned out just as he thought – still no movement.
Thus, the three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines changed their objective, now aiming for the "Basic Mineral Storage Room 2" right across from the "Tri-Eye Divine Guards·Rest Chamber 2".
Interest in this chamber surged within Song Chi; based on his previous experience in Mineral Storage Room 1, his instincts told him that the door to Mineral Storage Room 2 could also be opened.
Or rather, he felt that all of these Mineral Storage Rooms likely shared the same mechanism.
"Don't push together, just push them one by one!"
If his guess was correct, then there should also be a Fourth Rank Level Alloy Mech guarding inside Mineral Storage Room 2. As for how to deal with it, naturally, he would use the same method as before.
Having had prior experience, Song Chi, of course, didn't allow the three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines to enter together. Separating them would mean that the inside Alloy Mech guard could be activated several times in succession, allowing for a faster consumption of its internal energy.
If it were not for this strategy, he would never have been able to completely drain the first Alloy Mech guard in a short month; after all, it had stood its ground for a hundred thousand years, and even with depleted energy, it would not be so easily exhausted.
Sure enough, the door to the basic Mineral Storage Room 2 was quickly opened and after the first Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine entered, the door closed suddenly with a clang.
He didn't know what kind of alloy the chamber door was made of, as its sound insulation was remarkable. Song Chi hadn't heard any noise from inside at all. He only received a notification of death from the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine Tree.
Inside the flagship, the second Puppet Soldier advanced closely followed by the third, each waiting their turn before entering Mineral Storage Room 2.
As for the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines in Mineral Storage Room 1, Song Chi didn't call them but let them continue loading and unloading resources.
Within the Cangqiong, the Fixed-Point Launch Pad component was activated, and a new batch of Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines deployed, then led by those still inside the flagship, they entered Mineral Storage Room 2 one after the other.
And so, time flew by once again.
During this period, Song Chi naturally didn't miss out on the monthly Ruins Market trade, especially since it only took up one day each month and didn't waste much time.
Meanwhile, he also took this time to raise his Guidance Technique from lv24 to lv25. He had yet to use the two-thousand-year-old Firethorn Fruit; he still needed to wait a bit longer.
Firstly, because his progress with the Guidance Technique was already swift and needed to be stabilized, and secondly, because the Fire Elemental Life hadn't provided a new Firethorn Fruit, Song Chi was somewhat reluctant to use it.
As for the minerals scavenged from the super-sized ancient flagship, he had sold a fair amount through these few Ruins Market trades. It certainly helped to digest a large portion of them.
The harvested resources were so abundant that there was just not enough space at the mining resource store, so some had to be temporarily stored within the Cultivation Secret Realm.
It was a good thing he had acquired this new flagship-based secret realm component; otherwise, Song Chi would have had a real headache figuring out where to store everything.
Compared to Mineral Storage Room 1, the Alloy Mech guard in Mineral Storage Room 2 held out for even longer, persisting for a full forty days. However, the outcome wasn't as good.
In Mineral Storage Room 2, Song Chi didn't find a resource at the Mixed Elemental Copper's level, but there were plenty of Phantom Crystals and Mercury Crystals. Though the profit wasn't as significant, it wasn't a total loss either.
In the central corridor, the three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines continued to slowly advance towards the other end of the hallway, with their targets being "Tri-Eye Guardian Resting Room 3" and "Basic Mineral Storage Room 3".
Song Chi's consciousness, attached to a Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine, stood at the entrance of Basic Mineral Storage Room 2. He needed to devote his attention to directing the four soldier figs that had already moved into Mineral Storage Room 2 to handle the resources.
As the three Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines moved forward, Song Chi felt something was off; observing their increasingly slow pace, he had a faint suspicion.
"The further they advance, the stronger the mysterious pressure they endure..."
Muttering to himself, his gaze followed along with that of the soldier figurines, turning towards the end of the corridor.
"What could possibly be at the end of this hallway to exert such terrifying pressure?!"
Song Chi was both puzzled and curious.
However, just then, he caught a slight movement out of the corner of his eye from a far-off door.
"No, that's on the right side, where all the Tri-Eye Guardian Resting Rooms are located... One of the Tri-Eye Guardian Resting Room doors can be opened?"
