Chapter 145: Enslavement Medal Test and Merit Tower
Looking at the terrifying amount of essence meat, Song Chi thought for a moment and decided to keep all of the Second Rank essence meat for himself. As for the First Rank meat, he planned to leave some for his younger brothers and sisters, such as Song Ting, Song Shishi, and Song Ming. The rest would be exchanged with the family.
Thinking this, he summoned the Cangqiong and started to place all of the First Rank essence meat into it while taking out the [Enslavement Medal].
[Are you sure you want to consume 50 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin + 5000 Spectral Energy Points to enhance the Enslavement Medal from lv0 to lv1?]
"Confirmed!"
As he swiftly enhanced it, the Enslavement Medal was quickly upgraded from lv0 to lv10, using a total of 1010 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.
Looking at the over four digits of First Rank Floating Land Origin he had stockpiled, Song Chi did not hesitate and continued enhancing.
In a short while, the Enslavement Medal was enhanced to lv20.
In total, it cost 780 strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin.
However, after upgrading to Second Rank, if he wanted to continue enhancing the [Enslavement Medal], he would need to use Titanium Crystals, and from lv20 to lv21, it would require 3 Titanium Crystals. Although he currently had 25 Titanium Crystals at hand, they were clearly not enough to raise the [Enslavement Medal] to Third Rank.
For the [Enslavement Medal], every Great Rank is an important threshold; as for small level upgrades within the same rank, they aren't particularly significant. Therefore, Song Chi decided to stop enhancing it for now.
Then, examining the specific attributes of the Second Rank [Enslavement Medal], it had changed significantly as expected.
Firstly, the number of enslavement marks increased from 2 to 4, meaning that this component could enslave four alien species creatures at the same time in the future.
Secondly, there was the Enslavement Mark: Furious Trait, which had its furious duration increased from 30 minutes to 2 hours and its buffer reduced from 5 years to 3 years.
Besides that, the effects of the other two features had greatly improved, although it wasn't apparent from the attribute panel. He would need to test them himself later.
Half an hour later, Song Chi, who had just stepped out for a while, returned, and now there was an additional item aboard the Cangqiong.
Um... a forest wolf.
He was going to test the effects of the [Enslavement Medal].
This forest wolf was merely a Zero Rank creature, so it was quickly and successfully enslaved by the Second Rank [Enslavement Medal].
In the private courtyard's room, a roughly one-meter tall forest wolf lay quietly on the ground.
Meanwhile, within the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi's body was enveloped in Spectral Energy, which slowly converged at his forehead. Inside the Ancestral Torch, the miniaturized Cangqiong trembled slightly as the [Enslavement Medal] it carried was activated by him.
"Awooo!"
Using the [Enslavement Medal] as a medium, he soon established communication with the forest wolf outside, commanding it to howl.
As expected, he successfully heard the howl emanating in his mind.
Pleased with this outcome, Song Chi was delighted because it meant that what the [Brainwave Remote Control System] couldn't do in the past, the [Enslavement Medal] could now achieve.
In the future, he only needed to leave an enslaved creature outside after entering the Ruins Market, and he would be able to get real-time information about the outside world, without the need to rely on luck himself.
In addition, he tried sending the forest wolf tens of light-years away into the starry void, then returned to the Dragon Spine Continent himself. Even so, whether he was communicating with the wolf from the Dragon Spine Continent with his spiritual mind or waiting to communicate after entering the Ruins Market Secret Realm, it was still easily done.
Having arrived at these two conclusions, Song Chi had a good understanding of the powerful effects of the [Enslavement Medal]. Indeed, worthy of the Red Quality component, it could effectively ignore the restrictions of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and function.
However, this was just a preliminary test. Later, during the next Star Domain exploration, he would have to conduct further tests between the deployed Star Domain and the Yellow Sand Floating Continent's Star Domain.
If, after being entirely separated by who knows how many tens of thousands of light-years, these two Star Domains still managed easy communication, then he could use the [Enslavement Medal] to accomplish many things.
For instance, using both the [Enslavement Medal] and the [Ruins Market Guest Token], he could remotely control a proxy within the Torch Human Civilization Territory to buy or sell various items or resources difficult to deal with openly.
Stay connected through empire
Additionally, he could remotely control one or a few high-potential individuals or powerful figures from the various alien races entering the Zhu Tian Ruins Market to help him gather more rare resources.
Therefore, as long as the [Enslavement Medal] can work across Star Domains, and even across River Domains or cluster of River Domains for remote mind induction and communication, he would have vast room for manipulation in the future, and it wasn't impossible to establish forces throughout the Shattered Starry Sea that were loyal only to him.
Suppressing his quickened heartbeat, back in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi summoned the Cangqiong again, staring intently at the [Enslavement Medal], he clenched his fists tightly.
It was certain that both the enslavement success rate of the Enslavement Medal and the distance at which remote mind induction was possible were directly proportional to its Enhancement Level. Therefore, he had to find a way to increase the Enhancement Level to maximize the component's potential impact in the future.
"Seems like I need to get more Titanium Crystals soon!!"
With that thought, Song Chi's gaze shifted as he contemplated for a moment before exiting the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
