Chapter 519: Chapter 277: Return, Reporting the News
As the saying goes, “A fortune never es in pairs; a misfortune never es alone.”
Following that was an inspection of another Orange Oddity, which dealt Song Chi a heavy blow. It turned out to be a Strange Object ship cannon that couldn’t be transformed into a ship-mounted ponent.
As a ship cannon of Orange Quality, in theory, no matter what warship it was mounted on, it would be an extremely powerful weapon.
However, Torch Warships were different. Being unable to transform into a ship-mounted ponent meant that the Spectral Energy system of a Torch Warship could not achieve perfect synergy with this ship cannon. Having multiple disparate energy supply systems on one warship would inevitably lead to various conflicts during battle.
Therefore, for a Torch Warship, this kind of ship cannon that couldn’t be transformed into a ship-mounted ponent not only wouldn’t enhance the warship’s bat Power but might also impair its normal performance on the battlefield.
However, the fact that Torch Warships couldn’t mount it didn’t mean that such Strange Object ship cannons could only be sold at half price like other untransformable Strange Objects.
Although Torch Human Civilization followed the Torch Warship system, in large-scale interstellar wars, Torch Warships weren’t the only unit of force. Other elements, such as Mobile Warstars and standard fleets, were also vital parts of interstellar warfare.
And these Strange Object ship cannons that couldn’t be transformed into ship-mounted ponents could be mounted on Mobile Warstars or standard large warships, enhancing the firepower of these bat units.
As Song Chi knew, the Song Family had been buying these untransformable Strange Object ship cannons for years. Although the purchase price was only eighty percent of an ordinary ponent of the same Quality, it was much better than half price.
Besides, one shouldn’t forget the Ruins Market. Without going into details, it was highly likely that both Goblin Luke and Elon of the Star Origin Empire would be quite interested in this Orange Quality Strange Object ship cannon. It wasn’t impossible to sell it later at the price of a regular Orange ponent.
Having put away the Orange Oddity ship cannon, Song Chi’s gaze moved to the second Orange ship cannon. This time it was more normal—the ship cannon could be transformed into a Main Cannon ponent of Orange Quality.

Looking at this main cannon, Song Chi was tempted to mount it on the Cang Qiong. He was currently missing a main cannon, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided not to do so.
As mentioned before, an Orange Glory Quality main cannon, for the current level of the Cang Qiong, was not enough to play a decisive role in a major battle, which was clearly not what Song Chi wanted.
In his opinion, only a main cannon of Red Quality would suffice.
Having made his decision, Song Chi naturally didn’t hesitate any longer and directly absorbed the Orange ponent into his Ancestral Aperture.
In the following months, a group of Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines continued to open up other entry routes into the ship, but the final results were frustratingly either dead ends or connected to sections of the ship that were of no value.
Inside the Cang Qiong, Song Chi’s eyes followed the projected image in front of him and gazed out at the shattered Starry Sea filled with void rifts.
“Sigh, it’s time to leave. pared to five years ago, the size of this starry space has shrunk by more than half. I must report this to the family…”
Today, it had been three years since he had arrived in this ancient Star Domain, and just the right amount of time he had set for his solo exploration—five years.
After sighing, a heartfelt smile once again appeared on Song Chi’s face.
In these five years, he had gained enough from this Star Domain.
A Golden Oddity, two Silver Miraculous Items, a Red Quality mobile secret realm, a starry sky plant [Silver Apple Mother Tree], more than a dozen peak Fourth Rank ancient corpses, two Fourth Rank Level enslaved creatures…
With so many gains, any single item, if placed in the hands of other Second and Third Rank Torch Captains, would be a fortune of a lifetime. With such bounty, what more could he want?
Yes… in that distant flagship of the Tri-Eyed Royal Family, which was an ancient super-sized warship, there were undoubtedly many more treasures, but the time left was insufficient for further exploration, and the Fifth Rank Level Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines were not capable of pletely exploring the remnants of this Seventh Rank Level ancient flagship.
Given that, rather than letting the Void Demons benefit, reporting to the family was indeed the best decision. With the Song Family’s background, Song Chi believed that they could gain the most from the remnants of the ancient flagship, and he might even receive some rewards from the family later on.
Of course, the primary reason for deciding to report to the family was not this, but the Song Family’s values, which instilled confidence in Song Chi that he would not face unjust treatment later on.
If the Song Family were the kind of family where internal strife was uncontrollable, whether Song Chi would report this starry space today would be another matter.
Because in such a case, he couldn’t be sure whether the old ancestors of the family would covet what he had, given that no one knew how long he had discovered this ancient Star Domain battlefield or how much he had benefited from it, and it wasn’t impossible to attract the covetousness of a Fifth Rank Torch Captain.
