Chapter 230: Silver, Silver Miraculous Item
In an instant, Song Chi's curiosity reached an unprecedented peak.
He had always held a significant interest in this so-called Tri-Eye Race Guardian.
If they were indeed exclusive guards for the Chicang as he had previously imagined, then their strength couldn't possibly be weak.
By the same logic, the stronger they were, the more valuable the items they left behind would be.
However, there was no need to rush. At this moment, several Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines had already opened the door to Basic Ore Storage Room 3, and the first Soldier Figurine had stepped inside, initiating a gradual consumption of the energy of the Alloy Mech guard within.
Originally, Song Chi thought that this process would take at least another month, but reality gave him a pleasant surprise.
The Alloy Mech guard in Mineral Storage Room 3 seemed to have been depleted in the past, or its energy storage was inherently insufficient. It took only half a month for it to be completely drained of energy and enter a standby mode.
After that, it was natural to let the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines continue the work of resource loading and unloading.
The resources from Mineral Storage Rooms 2 and 3 could only prioritize those of higher value. If there was time later, they could attempt to take everything; for now, it wasn't a priority.
Moreover, there were no resources of the same caliber as Mixed Elemental Copper in Mineral Storage Room 3, which could only be considered barely acceptable.
After this, it was only natural for Song Chi to continue pushing forward. The corridor leading to the flagship's core area was long enough, and several more doors awaited his exploration within the visible range ahead.
But as several Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines neared Mineral Storage Room 4, something unexpected happened.
The leading Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine suddenly disintegrated.
Without sustaining any external damage and without triggering any Law traces, the puppet simply couldn't withstand the increasingly intense unknown pressure and was completely crushed by the overwhelming force acting upon it.
Not quite believing in curses, Song Chi continued to signal the second Soldier Figurine, which was at the back, to move forward slowly.
Crack!
But under this pressure, akin to some supreme Law, probing was pointless.
Following the death of the second Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine, Song Chi fully understood the situation.
The level 40 Soldier Figurines had reached the limit of how far they could advance at present. Unless the "Void Phantom Assassin Soldier Figure Tree" component was enhanced to the Fifth Rank, summoning Pseudo Fifth Rank Soldier Figurines, it'd be difficult to continue exploring this pathway.
Coming to this conclusion, Song Chi felt somewhat unwilling to accept it. He looked down the corridor toward the far end, where he could vaguely make out more Tri-Eye Race inscriptions on the several alloy doors at the front.
Basic Ore Storage Room 4
Basic Ore Storage Room 5
Rare Ore Storage Room
Main Ore Storage Room
...
While he didn't feel much about the two basic ore storage rooms, the inner rare ore storage room and the main ore storage room were exceptionally tantalizing.
If a super-strategic level resource like Mixed Elemental Copper appeared in a basic ore storage room, could the contents of the rare ore storage room and the main ore storage room be worse?
Song Chi guessed that the rare ore storage room should contain mineral resources similar to Mixed Elemental Copper, including Law Stones, and that the main ore storage room could even potentially hold Law Crystals.
Yet, he could only watch helplessly at the moment, and under such circumstances, how could Song Chi be content?
His gaze shifted, turning from the left side of the corridor to the right side, specifically to the lounge door on the right that appeared to be open.
As Song Chi strained to adjust his angle to look that way, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a barely perceptible glimmer of light.
"Am I seeing things? It looked like a silver glow!!"
Song Chi's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to stare intently at the seemingly ajar door.
The next moment, his conviction grew stronger because the inscriptions above that door were very different from those on the other chambers to the right.
"Tri-Eye Race Guardian Leader's Quarters!"

There was no need to mention the rest; the words "Guardian Leader" alone explained everything.
Also, because of this, Song Chi increasingly believed he hadn't been mistaken. After all, it was quite normal, and not at all surprising, for a Tri-Eye Race Guardian Leader to possess a silver-quality Strange Object.
His mind raced, yet his eyes remained fixed, staring intently.
In a certain instant, when a subtle silver-white gleam flickered once again within the slightly opened Guardian Leader's quarters, Song Chi, aboard the Cang Qiong, also gasped.
He was sure he hadn't been mistaken. In that Tri-Eye Race Guardian Leader's quarters, there was indeed a silver luminescence spilling out, which meant there was a very high probability of a Silver Miraculous Item inside.
Having confirmed this, Song Chi's heart was brimming with excitement, a sensation that couldn't even be described as a mere surprise. To him, this news was like a powerful trump card, detonating directly in his heart.
A Silver Strange Object, while only one rank below a Red Epic Treasure, had a rarity that was worlds apart.
A Red Curio could be converted into a ship component with a maximum of Sixth Rank.
As for silver, the maximum was Seventh Rank.
As for the difference between Sixth Rank and Seventh Rank, that was simple. Song Chi used to be unclear about it, but after returning to the Dinghai Song family, with access to the vast Song family database, he had gained a detailed understanding of the difference between the ranks.
