Leaving aside everything else, just the 30,000 Points Youneng Pool was enough to avoid worrying about the subsequent enhancement requirements of the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator.
The Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator lv19 needed only 15,000 Spectral Energy Points to upgrade to lv20, and now with these 30,000 Points, it was feasible to enhance the generator directly to the limit of the Second Rank.
Discussing energy supply efficiency, it offers 660 Spectral Energy Points per second, nearly three times that of an Assaulter Engine of the same level, truly worthy of a purple quality engine component.
After enhancing the Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine component, it was finally time for the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator.
This component, the highest quality on the Cang Qiong Warship at that time, had already been enhanced to lv19. Thus, Song Chi spent 150 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin + 15,000 Spectral Energy Points + 80 tons of Mercury Crystal to upgrade it to Second Rank (lv20).
After that, First Rank Floating Land Origin was no longer needed. With 540 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin + 1,260 tons of Mercury Crystal, and an additional 90 Titanium Crystals, the orange Glory Quality Energy Shield was finally enhanced to lv29.
By now, not only had Song Chi used up all of the Second-Rank Floating Land Origin in his hands, but the Mercury Crystals in the vault were almost completely depleted. Moreover, the Titanium Crystals given by his father were down to the last 10. However, this [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] could not be enhanced any further for the time being.
As a Torch Warship merged with a white Seed of Torch, the ship body of the white Torch itself sets the limit for component enhancements to Second Rank, which is lv20 to lv29. To continue enhancing beyond lv30, one must possess a Torch Warship body of blue or higher quality.
Consequently, Song Chi would have to slowly find higher level Fire Seeds to advance, but he shouldn’t expect to be able to enhance the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator again any time soon.

{Note: Has reached the limit of the ship body’s enhancement capability, cannot be further enhanced.}
Looking at the detailed attributes of the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator, Song Chi felt a sense of satisfaction. A mere 10-level enhancement had used up tens of thousands of strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, but its attributes were strong enough.
With nearly 310,000 Points in Shield Value plus 15,000 in defense, it was likely that even the main cannons of a Third Rank Cruiser would only be able to withstand two or three shots. And if one actually encountered a terrifying existence like a cruiser, having a buffer time of two or three shots was enough for Song Chi to enter the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
With that thought, Song Chi was even more pleased.
However, as he accounted for the remaining assets in his hands, his fairly good mood quickly turned gloomy.
Merely for two components, he was left with just 571 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin and only a few dozen strands of Zero Rank; Second Rank had none left, just enough to be used up when the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator was enhanced to lv29.
With this result, Song Chi, who had originally intended to enhance the Brainwave Remote Control System and the Abnormal Status Purifier, immediately dismissed the idea.
Due to grandma’s big birthday, what could have been the fourth Ruins Market trade opened a few days earlier was postponed until now. He was not inclined to delay any longer. After returning to Jiangyuan City tomorrow, he would start it right away.
He was quite looking forward to his first Ruins Market trade after advancing, especially since not only Zero Rank Alien Races but also First Rank ones would be able to enter this time.
Therefore, facing First Rank Aliens with stronger purchasing power and more substantial assets, he must acquire a sufficient quantity of goods; only then could he earn more.
Resolute, Song Chi withdrew the Cang Qiong Warship, but looking at the nearly depleted storage area for Mercury Crystals, he shrank back instinctively, unsure if grandpa would give him a severe reprimand upon finding out.
…
The next day, in the suburbs of Baita City, the rental flying car carrying Song Chi arrived at the designated location. Not long after he got off, Song Ting, who had been waiting there, hastened over.
“Song Chi, what are you mailing that’s taking so long? It couldn’t be that you went to…”
Song Chi cut off the girl’s words with a fierce expression, and then the two got into the Pentium III Dynamic Energy Car parked not far away, owned by his father.
White Tower Floating Land wasn’t big, and the speed of the Dynamic Energy Car was not slow. Just over an hour later, they returned to Jiangyuan City.
Song Chi’s initial suggestion was to simply summon the Torch Warship and travel quickly, as it would take only a few minutes, and even with Song Ting, it would cost no more than one strand of First Rank Floating Land Origin. He just wanted to get home and open the Ruins Market trade as quickly as possible.
But this was sternly vetoed by Song Ting. According to her, although White Tower Floating Land was not large, about ten million square kilometers, its scenery was unique, and they shouldn’t waste the beautiful landscapes on the journey just to save time.
Song Chi’s parents had no objection to this reasoning.
Song Chi knew it was just an excuse from Song Ting; she simply didn’t want to return to Jiangyuan City so soon because she would have to go back to school immediately. However, he didn’t bother to point it out.
And his parents could clearly see through it as well.
After dropping Song Ting off at Tenglong Middle School, Song Chi also got off the car as he needed to purchase goods at the Torch Market. This time, he did not plan to use his own identity, as the quantity of goods he needed to buy was somewhat large.
