Chapter 36 Re-exploring the Alien Realm
In the end, Chen Yao had no choice but to reluctantly leave this special shopping mall space.
For more than a decade, he had never longed for more card points as much as he did now.
It's important to know that this "Mall Card" doesn't have the fixed function of the [Miracle Card Master Pool]. The next time you use it, the items that appear in it will be a completely different batch.
Therefore, if he wants to directly purchase the satisfactory items he sees later, he needs enough card points.
Just then, a thought flashed through his mind.
"I wonder if there are cards like 'free cards,' '10% off cards,' or 'discount cards' that exist. I'll definitely try them out once I get that 'universal card.'"
With this thought etched deep in his mind, he waited for the day when his guiding technique would break through to the next level and he would officially obtain that "universal card".
There's no way around it; Tier 5 Silver Apples and Red Epic Treasures already cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of card points. What if even higher quality items appear in the shop later?
Given his current and future rate of card point acquisition, it's clearly difficult for him to accumulate more than six figures in card points. He can only try to see if he can reduce the price of those items through other means.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yao forced himself to calm down and stop thinking about other things.
"Qi and Blood Card", "Spa Card", "Refresh Card", "Lucky Card", "Secret Realm Card", "Shop Card", "Rank-Up Card" (7/12)
After glancing at the now-solidified "Rank-Up Card," he knew that he had only one task at hand: to cultivate his guiding technique to the peak of level 9 before the second exploration of the alien domain.
He had originally planned to try to break through to the next level during his second exploration of the alien world, and now that he had obtained the "Level Breakthrough Card," a breakthrough god card, his resolve to do so only grew stronger.
Just then, the door to the underground level opened, and Gu Ping, who was clutching a jade box radiating cold air, strode in.
Seeing her hesitant expression, as if she wanted to speak but was afraid of disturbing her seclusion, the Sky Patrol's hatch quickly opened.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Gu Ping's eyes lit up with joy, but she quickly frowned and said:
"Son, did Mom disturb you?"
Chen Yao waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
Gu Ping didn't ask any more questions. She quickly handed the jade bottle, which was radiating a faint chill, to Chen Yao.
"This is your maternal family's unique elixir, the Frost Toad Ice Marrow Pill. It uses the essence and blood of a thousand-year-old frosty cicada as its main ingredient. It can greatly accelerate the cultivation speed of low-level cultivators. The key is that it is also effective for Captains of the Torch Ship. It is also an awakening gift given to you by your maternal family."
Hearing this, Chen Yao felt a warmth in his heart.
He was well aware of the value of the [Frosty Toad Ice Marrow Pill]. As a unique secret medicine of the powerful Gu family of the Northern Frontier with a history of five thousand years, it was quite famous in the many river systems of the northern part of the Universe Kingdom, and naturally there were corresponding records in the Chen family's database.
According to records, only a few batches of the [Frosty Toad Ice Marrow Pill] are refined every ten years. Considering the losses during the refining process and the amount kept within the Gu family, only ten to fifteen pills can be produced every ten years, which is pitifully few.
Each time it appears, it usually triggers the fate of fourth- or even fifth-order beings, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to capture.
"In this way, breaking through to the first level of the guiding technique should be completely secure."
Holding the jade box in his hand, Chen Yao's mind raced.
However, he spoke quite quickly.
"Mom, thank you. Also, please thank my maternal grandfather, my eldest uncle, and my second uncle for me."
Gu Ping rolled her eyes at him.
"Stop with the mushy stuff, focus on your cultivation, and be careful about your safety when exploring alien planets in the future. That's the greatest thanks you can give us."
Chen Yao's lips twitched, and he was about to say something more, but his mother left the cultivation room without looking back, so he could only return to the Sky Patrol and continue his previous seclusion.
However, before entering the energy absorption training chamber, he still sent a message to his mother.
"Mom, don't rush your breakthrough. Be sure to tell me before you do. I have something good for you. Please keep it in mind. I'm not kidding."
……
Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, under Gu Ping's worried gaze, the Sky Patrol once again soared into the sky.
Buzz!
At the summit of Tianlan Star, amidst the gradually intensifying spatial fluctuations, in the main control room of the Sky Patrol, Chen Yaoka activated the "Lucky Card" he had prepared long ago at this final juncture.
The next second, the warship suddenly disappeared.
……
The moment the dizziness subsided, the view outside the porthole made Chen Yao's pupils shrink sharply.
This time, the landing site of the space surveyor was no longer the desolate vacuum zone of space like before.
In the distance, a star emitting an orange-red light burned quietly. According to radar feedback, it was clearly a star with an energy level of level two.
With a quick glance around, Chen Yao swiftly gathered all the information about his surroundings.
In this single star system, apart from the primary star, there are four other planets orbiting it in different orbits.
After confirming that no factors posing a threat to the Sky Surveyer had been found, Chen Yao turned his attention back to the Sky Surveyer.
The warships were deployed between the star system's main star and the first planet. With the current detection range of the [Low-Light Class Survey Radar] lv10 at 5 light-seconds (1500000 kilometers), it is not yet able to cover that first planet.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yao took out a bunch of spare low-grade planetary origin crystals and directly upgraded the [Dim Light-level Survey Radar] to level 20.
Low-light-level air-search radar lv20
Quality: White
Cost: 140/s (Psionic Points)
Maximum detection radius: 1 light-minute (18 million kilometers)
……
With the rapid increase in the detection radius of low-light radar, Planet One was successfully brought into the detection range.
[Planetary scanning in progress...]
[Planet 1: A level 0 resource planet, approximately 11,000 kilometers in diameter, with extremely high surface temperatures. Multiple level 0 mineral veins have been detected on the surface, and the coordinates of 14 level 1 mineral veins and 1 level 2 mineral vein have been successfully marked.]
"The coordinates of 14 first-order mineral veins and one micro second-order mineral vein resource point. This first resource star alone is worth as much as all the harvest we had in that asteroid belt last time."
After some thought, Chen Yao quickly made a decision.
[Energy Overload Jump Device] - Activated!
After a brief recharge, the Sky Patrol suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already in the sky above the No. 1 resource star.
More specifically, it refers to the area above the location of the second-tier [Volcanic Copper Ore].
The warship descended rapidly, and when it was less than 100 meters from the ground below, *whoosh*—
The Sky Patrol's hatch opened, and a group of rock-guard terracotta warriors, all carrying portable space mining equipment, leaped down.
dong dong dong...
Several heavy thuds echoed across the ground below. After a certain time, Chen Yao, aboard the Sky Patrol above, had a thought, and several rock guardian terracotta warriors officially began mining the mineral vein beneath their feet.
It must be said that the rock guardian terracotta warriors he had deliberately chosen were indeed skilled miners, and their efficiency was much higher than when he had done it himself three months ago.
Unfortunately, since it has only been three months since the last use of the "Secret Realm Card," there is still a six-month cooldown period. Without that super storage space, the resources that the Sky Patrol can take away will be very limited, given its seven-meter-long hull.
Therefore, an hour later, once the [Source Energy Overload Jump Device] had cooled down, the Sky Patrol disappeared from this resource planet immediately, completely ignoring the zero-order and first-order mineral resources on the planet.
Since we can't take it with us, why waste time here?
