Regarding the Purple River Translocation Device, Song Chi thought it over and ultimately decided not to enhance it to its current limit of lv29 in one go, but to upgrade it to Second Rank first. This should suffice for now.
After all, it’s a Blue Quality component, and each enhancement after reaching Second Rank is not cheap. There isn’t much Second-Rank Floating Land Origin left in his hands, so for now, he lets it stay at lv20.
Purple River Translocation Device lv20
Quality: Blue
Consumption: 5000/attempt (Spectral Energy Points)
Effect: After charging, the Warship can perform a space jump in the specified direction, with the current maximum translocation distance: 40 Light-Years
Charging Time: 30 minutes; Buffer Time: 12 hours
UpRank Requirement: 17 strands of Floating Land Origin (Second Rank), 17,000 Spectral Energy Points, 21 Void Crystals (Zero Rank)
After reaching lv20, the translocation distance increased from 1 Light-Year to 40 Light-Years, and both the charging time and buffer time were reduced by half.
Without a doubt, the properties of the Purple River Translocation Device improved immensely after reaching lv20.
His gaze shifted away from the Purple River Translocation Device, and the next item to be enhanced was still not the Brainwave Remote Control System, but rather the Torch Warship’s first assembled special component, the Fire Peony Soldier Effigy Tree.
Although this component is only of White Quality, when used in conjunction with the Brainwave Remote Control System, it’s still very beneficial for the Cang Qiong, so he plans to enhance it to lv29 as well.
However, if he gets his hands on a higher Quality Soldier Figurine Component in the future, he will immediately replace it.
The quality of the Fire Peony Soldier Figurines is too low. Not only is their maximum limit low, but their combat power at the same rank is also relatively weak. Aside from a passive as intense as fire, they do not have any active attack methods. This is a significant drawback.
Of course, that’s under the precondition that there are not enough special component slots. If there are enough, equipping two Soldier Figurine Components is also quite advantageous.
After another expenditure of resources, the Fire Peony Soldier Effigy Tree successfully enhanced from lv15 to lv20.
Although he really wanted to enhance it to lv29, unfortunately, the supply of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin isn’t sufficient. After enhancing the Sky Eye Reconnaissance Radar, there were only 20 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin left in his hands, which he needs to keep on hand for now, so at the moment, this is the extent of the enhancement.
Fire Peony Soldier Effigy Tree lv20
Quality: White
Consumption: 1000/unit (Spectral Energy Points)
Effect: Fire Peony Soldier Figurines (summons ten lv20 Fire Peony Soldier Figurines; as long as the Figurines do not die, they can exist indefinitely. If they die, they can only be resummoned after 24 hours.)
UpRank Requirement: 10 strands of Floating Land Origin (Second Rank), 10,000 Spectral Energy Points
After the Fire Peony Soldier Effigy Tree, it was finally the turn of the Brainwave Remote Control System, the only Purple Quality special component currently on the Cang Qiong. Though it has not been enhanced since being self-installed, it is still sufficient for current use.
10 Light-Seconds, in the vast Starry Sea, may seem like an insignificant distance, yet from a different perspective, a distance of 10 Light-Seconds is enough to circle the entire White Tower Floating Land dozens of times.
For now, even if this component needs to be used, the remote control distance will most likely not exceed this range.
Still, he currently has plenty of Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origin, so enhancing it a bit wouldn’t hurt.
Compared to the previous Blue Quality components, this Purple Quality special component requires significantly more resources to enhance. Not only does it need the rather scarce resource, Soul Crystals, but the first enhancement requires 10 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, twice as much as typical Blue Quality components.
After spending 478 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin + 523 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, the Brainwave Remote Control System was enhanced to lv20.
Brainwave Remote Control System lv20
Quality: Purple
Consumption: 70/second (Spectral Energy Points)
Feature: When the owner of the Warship is marked with the Brainwave Beacon, it can be controlled remotely in reverse.
Effect: After activating the component, a Brainwave Beacon can be formed. Any creature or mechanical construct marked with the Brainwave Beacon can be remotely controlled.
Control Distance: 1 Light-Year
Duration: 12 hours; Buffer: 4 hours
UpRank Requirement: 15 strands of Floating Land Origin (Second Rank), 20,000 Spectral Energy Points, 1 ton of Soul Crystals, 1 Titanium Crystal
After enhancing to lv20, the control distance of the Brainwave Remote Control System reached 1 Light-Year, an absolutely terrifying figure. The duration also reached 12 hours, making the effects even more astonishing.
Finally, he enhanced the lv19 Particle Beam Cannon to lv20.
Particle Beam Main Cannon lv20
Quality: Blue
Consumption: 100/shot (Spectral Energy Points)
Feature: Main Cannon Might increased by 22%
Might: 2232 (1860×120%)
Charge: 3s; Buffer: 5s
UpRank Requirement: 15 strands of Floating Land Origin (Second Rank), 11,000 Spectral Energy Points.
With this enhancement, the related upgrades for the Cang Qiong were essentially complete.
Song Chi finally reviewed the remaining resources at hand, with 20 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, just above a thousand strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, and about sixty thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin left.
Relatively speaking, there is still a significant amount of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin available. He already has plans for the use of these Floating Land Origin resources.
Besides purchasing a Main Cannon with Area-of-Effect properties and astonishing Might, a Secondary Cannon would be better. Because Secondary Cannons need to be replaced anyway, whereas if the Main Cannon were to be replaced, the substantial resources spent on the Particle Beam Cannon would go to waste.
He plans to spend the remaining resources to acquire various Starry Sea Oddities, or to use them entirely as capital for the next batch of merchandise.
Although it took over ten hours to sell off this batch of ten thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, items like gene optimization potions and intermediate Body Tempering Potions sold out early. Next time, he could stock up more on these items.
