Chapter 146: Chapter 106: Inventory Gains and Enhancement (Seeking Subscriptions)

Oddity Exchange Shop, after a brief moment of disappointment, Zhou Ping's eyes shimmered with change as he quickly considered his own options for retreat.
He already had the Nine Heavens Cloud Essence in hand, and Elder Yunhe's storage bag contained many other valuable items. As long as he could stay alive this time, he believed that for a long time to come, he wouldn't have to worry about resources for cultivation, and a bright future lay ahead.
But therein lay the contradiction: a bright future was one thing, but first, he had to make sure he would live to see it.
In a few hours, the Ruins Market beneath his feet would close, and how to save his life was the most pressing issue at hand.
After much consideration, Zhou Ping ultimately placed his hope on the Zhu Tian Ruins Market. Of course, it was unrelated to the previous bounty; this time, he tried a different approach.

He once again offered the Fourth-Rank Spiritual Mechanism (Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin) in his hand, and in the free trading area, Song Chi quietly watched without responding, waiting for Zhou Ping's next words.
"I would like to exchange this Fourth-Rank Spiritual Mechanism for equivalent value lifesaving items, or powerful weapons I can use would also do," he said.
After speaking, he stared intently at the projection screen in front of him, his heart pounding as he anxiously waited.
Outside, Song Chi pondered for a moment, then lightly lifted his arm.
Simultaneously, the Oddity Exchange Shop experienced another fluctuation of space.
Zhou Ping's eyes widened with curiosity as he stared at the several objects that appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Looking back at the projection screen above, a new line of text describing these items had appeared.
Personal Energy Shield: Activates an energy shield with built-in energy batteries to defend against the majority of First-Rank attacks.
Enhanced Energy Grenades: Possessing Second-Rank explosive might.
First-Rank Combat Robot: Possessing First-Rank combat power.
Advanced Exoskeleton Powered Armor: Significantly enhances speed, reaction, defense, and strength.
Seeing the introductions on the projection screen, the worry on Zhou Ping's face gradually dissipated, replaced by ecstatic joy.
With these novel items, he could envision a significantly increased possibility of preserving his life in the days to come.
And while he was elated, Song Chi in the free trading area was also deep in thought.
The assortment he had offered, combined with the identity of the other as a cultivator, gave him a strong sense of visualization.
He even subconsciously murmured four words to himself.
"Cyber Cultivation?"
After a brief moment of distraction, Song Chi's thoughts moved, and the projection screen in the Oddity Exchange Shop began to change.
Zhou Ping, overjoyed by the content on the screen, stiffened.
[Among these four, you may freely choose two.]
Zhou Ping's gaze traveled between the four items in front of him and the projection screen, biting his lip before taking out another batch of Floating Land Origin.
"Add these 200 strands of Second-Rank Spiritual Mechanism to exchange for all four, is that possible?"
200 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi naturally would not hesitate to agree. He was in need of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin.
He thought that would be the end of the trade, but as soon as Zhou Ping had put the four items into his storage bag, he swiftly spoke again.
"Do you have more First-Rank Combat Robots and Enhanced Energy Grenades?"
Song Chi immediately understood his meaning: Zhou Ping still didn't feel secure and wanted more Enhanced Energy Grenades and military combat robots.
To this, Song Chi saw no reason not to agree. However, this time, his eyes were set on Elder Yunhe's storage bag and the previously mentioned Blue Quality "Blackwater Xuan Turtle Warship Armor" component.
Even though the storage bag required mana to operate and might not be immediately useful, it could come in handy in the future. Besides, it wouldn't cost him much to obtain, so Song Chi was still keen on getting it.
Of course, the most crucial point was the size of the internal space of the storage bag. From the brief moment he had wiped the Divine Thought mark with the Power of Laws, he was sure that the space inside the storage bag wasn't smaller than a few dozen cubic meters, which was quite considerable.
As for the Blue Quality "Blackwater Xuan Turtle Warship Armor," he never turned down a free component of Blue Quality.
Song Chi's plan was to see if his older brother Song Wen needed any Blue Quality warship armor. If he did, Song Chi would try to exchange it for Song Wen's "Fixed-Point Launch Pad."
Having the Fixed-Point Launch Pad would significantly enhance the utility of the Brainwave Remote Control System. Aside from the inability to recall it freely, it had no other significant drawbacks. If possible, he wanted to keep this component.
Zhou Ping finally agreed, but the price Song Chi paid was two additional Enhanced Energy Grenades and five more First-Rank Combat Robots.
Besides, Song Chi also acquired several bottles of Body Tempering Liquid and one box of Body Tempering Paste from him, bringing his total to 15 bottles of Body Tempering Liquid and two boxes of Body Tempering Paste.

Free Trading Area.
As time passed, the transaction at the Ruins Market was nearing its end.
"Come one, come all, take a look, big loss exchange, 11 strands of Zero-Rank Floating Land Origin for 1 strand of First-Rank Floating Land Origin, 11 strands of First-Rank Floating Land Origin for 1 strand of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin," he shouted, immediately catching the attention of many Alien Races, although most quickly lost interest again.
Higher-Rank Floating Land Origin was far less available than Lower-Rank in any Star Domain, meaning few beings had it to offer and even fewer were willing to trade.
