Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 684 - 359 Picking Up Against the Heavens_2

Chapter 684: Chapter 359: Picking Up Against the Heavens_2 Chapter 684: Chapter 359: Picking Up Against the Heavens_2 Clearly, this individual had seen how Ruins Market itself catered to the gambling on stones.

What’s the biggest taboo in gambling on stones?

The fear is running out of new customers, because those who have tried their luck a few times know all the pitfalls, and once they’ve been tricked, they’d be wary of falling for it again.

In comparison, newcomers, dazzled by these exotic wares, would be eager to try their luck a few times.

Thus, a place like Ruins Market, which was essentially a monthly trading platform for an entirely new batch of alien species, was simply a paradise for stone-gambling.

There wasn’t even a need to purposely mix too many good items into the stones, the price could still be raised, and a profit would be made every time.

Since there was no need for his guidance, Song Chi casually settled on purchasing 10 Origin Stones from this individual’s hands for the next Ruins Market transaction, and then he turned and left.

He was eager to see what exactly was in the last two Origin Stones.

Being able to see through stones that were enhanced by the Power of Laws himself, all were of the Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin and Law Stone level of resources.

Was it possible that within the Origin Stones he couldn’t see through, there were even more valuable resources?

With this thought in mind, Song Chi left the free trading area crowded with alien species and found a somewhat spacious spot.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Power of Laws surged around him, creating a small, absolutely enclosed space.

Within this space, no one could see or hear anything he did or said.

Taking out the two Origin Stones he had just acquired from the Second Rank humanoid alien race, Song Chi looked up slightly, and the Power of Laws from Ruins Market Secret Realm converged in his hands, quickly forming a small Law Blade.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Under the unrivaled cutting power of the Law Blade, the first Origin Stone was swiftly split open.

When Song Chi saw the contents within the Origin Stone, his heart skipped a beat.

“Is that actually Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin?”

A look of astonishment flashed through Song Chi’s eyes; he had never imagined that his first acquisition of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin would occur in such a manner.

Although it was only a strand, its significance was extraordinary.

After a brief moment of shock, excitement flooded his eyes.

It wasn’t just because he had obtained a strand of Seventh Rank Level Floating Land Origin, but also because of the implied “upper limit” of that so-called “Divine Domain Continent.”

The presence of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin meant that the Divine Domain Continent behind the Third Rank half-rodent people was at least of the Sixth Level Starry Sea Floating Land.

A Floating Land of such level would produce even more and more precious items from its Ancient Battlefield, which undoubtedly increased the potential profits of his future scavenging.

Instinctively, his gaze shifted to that last Origin Stone in his hands.

“What could be inside this Origin Stone?

Is it still Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin, or perhaps something else!”

Filled with intense curiosity, he quickly cut open the last Origin Stone with the Law Blade in his hand.

As soon as he made an incision, a rich red light already started to emanate from the cut.

Immediately, Song Chi seemed a bit disappointed.

Compared to a strand of Seventh Rank Level Floating Land Origin, the content of this Origin Stone – likely a Red Oddity – seemed to have less value.

Nonetheless, it was still a great find, so he quickly cut the entire Origin Stone open.

Sure enough, as the cut grew wider, a bright red light enveloped the entire enclosed space.

When the Origin Stone was completely opened, Song Chi’s gaze swiftly focused on the Red Oddity.

[Strange Object: Bloodline Baptism Altar]

[Quality: Red]

[Convertible: No]

[Remark: This altar was once used by an Ancient Taoism system in the Divine Domain Continent to baptize the flesh of their young descendants.

It has the special effect of purifying bloodlines and enhancing Genetic Bloodline Talent.

However, once the doctrine was extinguished, only this Bloodline Baptism Altar remained, buried underground, evolving across tens of thousands of years into a Red Epic Oddity.]

Song Chi frowned.

“Can’t be converted into a shipboard component, huh?

That’s really…”

He muttered to himself, his thoughts subtly shifting.

“Bloodline Baptism, enhancing Genetic Bloodline Talent, the effect is indeed astonishing, it’s just unknown whether it will work on the Torch Ship Captain.

If it does, its value will be immeasurable!”

With this thought, a strong sense of expectation arose within him.

Currently, his Genetic Lineage Value was a mere 31 points, barely making him an Excellent Starry Sea creature.

If this [Bloodline Baptism Altar] could indeed take effect, combined with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Marrow he would acquire later, maybe he could raise his Genetic Lineage Value to an even higher level.

Thinking about it, Song Chi was already itching with anticipation, wanting to confirm whether this component could indeed be effective for himself and for the Torch Ship Captain.

However, since the transactions at the Ruins Market were still not over, he could only suppress this restlessness for now.

…

As time passed, the Ruins Market transaction was soon drawing to a close.

Before the official end of the event, Song Chi firstly reissued the hundred Consignment Tokens he had collected back last time and then initiated the auction for two types of tokens: the Ruins Market Guest Token and the Ruins Market Walking Rank.

As expected, one of the Third Rank half-rodent people secured a Ruins Market Guest Token with a Purple Relic.

Another alien species also obtained a Guest Rank, while the Travel Command received no interest.

This wasn’t surprising, as those with Red Epic Oddities to offer were indeed few.

After the auction concluded, this session of the Ruins Market transactions also came to an end.

Once all the alien species were forcibly sent out, Song Chi strode over to another area of the Ruins Market, a special configuration area.

Because there weren’t many oddities that were suitable for the Ruins Market Secret Realm, up to now, only the Stealth Light Platform was loaded as a configured component in this area.

Now what Song Chi needed to do was to load the Bloodline Baptism Altar he held in his hands.

The Ruins Market, unlike the Torch Warship, included some features of Spectral Energy but had not lost its own characteristics, one of which was that it could be loaded with oddities that could not be converted into warship components.

As the Bloodline Baptism Altar was placed into one of the empty configuration slots, the palm-sized oddity quickly transformed, becoming a stone platform that emitted a faint blood light.

Looking closely, the information of this stone platform soon appeared.

[Name: Bloodline Baptism Altar]

[Quality: Red]

[Rank: Third Rank]

[Effect 1: Consumes 10,000 points of energy to perform a Primary Bloodline Baptism on the creatures of Third Rank and below on the altar, slightly enhancing the creatures’ Genetic Bloodline Talent, up to 10 creatures can be baptized simultaneously.]

[Effect 2: Consumes 100,000 points of energy to perform an Intermediate Bloodline Baptism on the creatures of Third Rank and below on the altar, moderately enhancing the creatures’ Genetic Bloodline Talent, up to 3 creatures can be baptized simultaneously.]

[Effect 3: Consumes 1,000,000 points of energy to perform a High-Level Bloodline Baptism on the creatures of Third Rank and below on the altar, greatly enhancing the creatures’ Genetic Bloodline Talent, up to 1 creature can be baptized simultaneously.]

[Note: Baptism duration is 10 minutes, cooldown time is 20 minutes.]

After reading the detailed information of the stone platform, Song Chi’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Three effects corresponded to the three features of the Red Epic Oddity.

As for its specific effects, it was still unclear at the moment and would need to be further verified.

Thinking this, the light from the Ancestral Torch at his brow flickered, and the Cang Qiong soon appeared, subsequently summoning several Second Rank Level humanoid alien species from the Cultivation Secret Realm.

At Song Chi’s command, a Second Rank humanoid alien stepped onto the stone platform.

But before he began the first Bloodline Baptism effect, the blood-colored stone platform preemptively displayed two lines of text.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

[Genetic Bloodline Talent: Excellent (40)]

[Bloodline Baptism Compatibility: 33]

Looking at these two lines of text, Song Chi paused for a moment.

The first column, Genetic Bloodline Talent, was easy enough to understand, but what did “Bloodline Baptism Compatibility” mean?

“Could it be the success rate of the Bloodline Baptism?”

With that thought, Song Chi didn’t ponder any further but forcibly initiated the Primary Bloodline Baptism.

As a dense fog of blood enveloped the entire platform, the screams of the Second Rank humanoid alien species on the platform were soon heard.

This was followed by a muffled “thump,” and the screams on the platform abruptly ceased.
