Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1690: Chapter 826: [Exploring the City of Transcendence] (Part 3)

As the Mirror Image Warship approached, the Eye of Chaos suddenly rotated, and a cold mechanical voice emanated from it:

[Detected exchanger, please select the [Exchange Zone] you wish to view.]

Song Chi’s mind stirred slightly, following the perspective of his Ethereal Body as he looked towards the Eye of Chaos in front of him. In the next second, a special projection screen appeared before his eyes.

The screen neatly displayed three different exchange zones.

[Basic Exchange Zone] [Rare Exchange Zone] [Special Exchange Zone]

As his gaze fell on the first item, the [Basic Exchange Zone], seventy-two pillars began to slowly rotate, and a spiral Light Gate quickly unfolded in the center of the hall.

When the Mirror Image Warship entered the Light Gate, the hull suddenly experienced intense vibrations—here, the spatial rules forcibly compressed the warship to a hundred meters in length.

After passing through the Light Gate, what appeared before him was a circular complex of buildings suspended in the Chaos Void.

Numerous figures wrapped in Chaos Gauze Clothes shuttled between the buildings, with projection screens like holographic displays floating in front of them.

Song Chi quickly discovered that these screens displayed lists of redeemable items, and the exchange currency turned out to require various high rank resources to be exchanged into the exclusive exchange currency of this area.

"I see..."

Song Chi realized that this place was more like an automated trading center. As long as one possessed various high rank resources, they could exchange for all the needed items.

He had the Mirror Image Warship dock at the nearest exchange point. When the warship’s Traction Beam touched the exchange pillar, a projection screen immediately unfolded before him:

[Basic Exchange Zone]

Eighth Rank [Golden Apple]—Exchange Price: 1000 exchange coins

[Chaos Mirror Image Stone (Lower Rank)]—Exchange Price: 12000 exchange coins

Ninth Rank Dominator True Spirit—Exchange Price: 40 exchange coins

...

Then he went on to check the other two exchange zones.

[Rare Exchange Zone]

Colorful/Lower [Eternal Barrier]—Exchange Price: 25000 exchange coins

Colorful Upper [Space-Time Mirror]—Exchange Price: 500000 exchange coins

[Chaos Mirror Image Stone (Intermediate Rank) 350000 exchange coins]

...

[Special Exchange Zone] (Requires permission unlocking)

Song Chi’s gaze lingered for a long time in the Special Exchange Zone. Although he couldn’t see the specific content of this [Special Exchange Zone], the seven-colored halo faintly appearing on the edge of the screen suggested the possible presence of mythical-level Strange Objects here.

Just as he was about to delve further, the exchange pillar suddenly issued an alarm:

[Warning! Detected abnormal scanning fluctuation!]

Suddenly, two beams of light descended not far away, transforming into figures wearing silver uniforms.

The Chaos Gauze Clothes on their bodies displayed a unique grid-like pattern, and an emblem resembling a scale was worn on their chest.

"It’s the Law Enforcers from the City of Transcendence!"

A low murmur arose around him, and Song Chi’s heart tightened. He immediately set the Mirror Image Warship into silent mode, not believing that these two Law Enforcers were here for him. He trusted that by staying quiet, he wouldn’t get into trouble.

Of course, the main focus was on the two Law Enforcers. He sensed that these two Law Enforcers were likely Eleventh Rank beings.

The leading Law Enforcer raised a hand and released countless points of light, with a cold voice echoing throughout the entire exchange zone:

"Detected unauthorized probing activity in Zone B-714, all living beings immediately cease current operations to undergo inspection."

Song Chi reacted quickly, directly severing his connection with the Ethereal Body.

Although he didn’t think they were here for the Mirror Image Warship, precaution is never wrong.

Just as the Law Enforcers were about to scan his area, a sudden spatial ripple interrupted the inspection—the direction of the Transcendence Zone suddenly erupted with dazzling chaos light.

In an instant, all the Law Enforcers swiftly shifted direction and turned into streams of light rushing away.

Taking advantage of this gap, he then controlled the Mirror Image Warship to head toward the Mission Area.

Although filled with curiosity about the anomaly in the Transcendence Zone, his intuition told him that recklessly getting involved wouldn’t end well.

The structure of the Mission Area was unexpectedly simple, with countless bubble-shaped light spheres floating in the center.

Each light sphere represented a task of different difficulty, and completing them would yield corresponding "Transcendence Contribution Points"—one of the general currencies of the City of Transcendence. It could not only be exchanged 1:1 into "exchange coins" but was also the key to applying to become a Transcendence City Law Enforcer. Only when "Transcendence Contribution Points" reached certain conditions did one qualify to apply to become a Law Enforcer.

As for the benefits of becoming a Law Enforcer, as far as Song Chi knew, accessing information in the Special Exchange Zone required being a Law Enforcer. Additionally, Law Enforcers received specific discounts when exchanging all items, and they could also freely enter and exit the Transcendence Zone.

Song Chi randomly touched a large light sphere, and the task information immediately flooded into his mind:

[Pursuit Mission:

Target: The world-devouring worm lurking in the Chaos Sea (Peak of Tenth Rank)

Reward: 50000 Transcendence Points

Additional Information: The target was last seen in the shattered star belt of the Chaos Sea, numbered HT-927]

Just as he continued reviewing different task light spheres, preparing to accept a mission, he unexpectedly encountered a task that greatly surprised him.

[Collection Mission:

Objective: Purchase high-rank flesh living beings’ corpses

Task Reward: Rewards a large number of Transcendence Contribution Points based on the life rank of the submitted corpses and the specific number.

Remark: No limit on the purchase quantity; the more eligible corpses submitted, the higher the reward.]

Upon seeing this task, Song Chi instinctively felt a bit puzzled.

He subconsciously thought about high-rank Biological Origin Blood.

However, upon further thought, the transactions involving Primordial Blood in the City of Transcendence were quite rare, and if the City of Transcendence intended to vigorously develop Primordial Blood trade policy, it didn’t seem reasonable to him.

However, apart from this, he couldn’t think of any other possible need for a large number of high-rank living beings’ corpses.

Seeing he couldn’t figure it out, he simply didn’t dwell on it too much and started carefully considering the missions he intended to accept.
