Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 51: Song Mingsong

“`

Indeed, it was cautious, very much like how Song Ting would nervously await Song Chao’s judgment every time she made a mistake.

Just as Song Chi thought it was his own misconception, he saw the communication light screen in front of his dad. When he clearly saw the projected figure in the light screen, Song Chi suddenly realized.

Seeing his dad’s awkward expression, Song Chi quickly walked over and softly called out, “Grandpa.”

Hearing these two words, Song Mingsong’s originally expressionless face in the communication light screen immediately revealed a kind smile.

“It’s Little Chi, come over here and let Grandpa have a look. It’s been a few years since I last saw you. I heard not long ago that you had awakened; your grandma was so happy for quite a while.”

“It’ll soon be your grandma’s two-hundredth birthday. When you come to Baita City, Grandpa will give you a big gift.”

Song Chi’s face lit up with a bright smile and he nodded repeatedly.

“Thank you, Grandpa. On Grandma’s two-hundredth birthday, your grandson will also present his own gift.”

Song Mingsong laughed heartily.

“Good, then Grandpa will look forward to it.”

…

At Song Chi’s side, Song Chao gave his son a thumbs-up, feeling a huge relief in his heart.

Facing his own father, he really felt an immense pressure.

With Song Chi’s interjection, Song Mingsong couldn’t very well continue to show a stern face to his son, only to hear him quickly say in a deep voice:

“That’s it then, remember, not one Titanium Crystal less than a thousand, or you’ll see how I’ll deal with you on your mom’s birthday.”

After speaking, his voice paused for a moment, as if he had remembered something, and then he added another sentence.

“Also, if you dare to pull the kids from the families of your eldest brother and second brother to do this kind of thing again, I’ll personally go to Jiangyuan City to break your two legs.”

With that, the communication light screen was also cut off.

Song Chi’s mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself that Grandpa’s temper really hadn’t changed at all.

Speaking of Song Mingsong, Song Chi had vivid memories. When he was young, he had always lived with Song Mingsong and his wife. It was only after his parents moved to Jiangyuan City that he followed them here.

And when it came to old Master Song Mingsong, there was only one impression in Song Chi’s heart.

Explosive!

That’s right, the old master’s temperament was just like that, extremely fiery, often resorting to fists over the slightest disagreement, and when it came to disciplining his sons, he was equally unreserved. According to mom, his father and his brothers had been smacked into adulthood by the old master’s slap after slap.

It was only after his father and his uncles started their own families and had grandchildren that the old master’s temper had somewhat mellowed, at least when facing the many grandchildren, the old master was still very kind.

Song Chi didn’t dwell on this matter, but quickly shifted his attention to the “Titanium Crystal” that Grandpa had just mentioned.

“Dad, did you get the Titanium Crystals? How many?”

After turning off the communication, Song Chao immediately reverted to his usual patriarchal demeanor and said unhurriedly:

“There aren’t too many. In addition to the thousand for the old master, I have 715 on hand. Don’t mention this outside, especially in front of your grandpa.”

Upon hearing this, Song Chi instantly understood, knowing that his dad must have underreported some or, to put it another way, intercepted part of it.

After pondering for a while, Song Chi asked softly:

“Dad, what are you planning to do with these seven hundred plus Titanium Crystals? Apart from getting resources to help mom increase her promotion success rate, is there any surplus?”

Song Chao looked surprised and turned to give Song Chi a careful look.

“`

“Can you actually use this Titanium Crystal?”

Song Chao’s voice was serious. Given the rarity of Titanium Crystal, he had to pay great attention. If Song Chi truly needed this resource, he would certainly not be stingy. However, if it were just out of curiosity or something else, that would be a different matter.

After all, this was Titanium Crystal, not some common warship enhancement resource. It could also be described as a hot potato. If given to Song Chi and he couldn’t use it, it might even harm him instead.

Song Chi understood these concerns. He didn’t avoid Song Chao’s gaze, and he affirmed with certainty:

“Yes!”

Components of warships with Purple Quality or higher required Titanium Crystal for enhancements beyond level 20. The Cang Qiong had a component called the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator, which would naturally require it for future upgrades.

Hearing Song Chi’s reply, Song Chao had no doubts. No one understood his son’s character better than he did.

“Good!”

After this single word, a glimmer of Ghost Light flashed between his eyebrows, and a radiance flew out from the Ancestral Torch, eventually hovering in front of Song Chi.

“Here are one hundred Titanium Crystals. Keep them well, and remember, whether you use them or not, you must never reveal them to outsiders until the day you are strong enough.”

After he had finished speaking, Song Chao waved his hand, indicating for Song Chi to attend to his own matters, while he submerged his spiritual consciousness into the Ancestral Aperture at his brow. Using the Seed of Torch, he connected to the Torch Network, as he needed to prepare some resources for Chen Lixia’s promotion.

In the Torch Network before, he had found several resources that could be beneficial for the promotion of Chen Lixia’s warship, “Dragonfly,” but the sellers’ demands were high, and he couldn’t gather what was needed all at once. Now with several hundred Titanium Crystals at his disposal, getting those materials should not be difficult.

Of course, Song Chao would naturally not use his own identity to trade the Titanium Crystals. Concealing his identity, changing the delivery address, and not selling too many at once—these were procedures he knew all too well.

Just then, Song Chao, as if recalling something, disconnected from the Torch Network and turned to call back Song Chi, who was heading to his bedroom once again.

“Wait, come here, I have something else to give you.”

Song Chi didn’t think much and immediately turned around, coming back to his father.

Wondering what exactly his father was about to produce, Song Chao’s brow glowed with Ghost Light once again, and the next moment, two streams of blue radiance floated out.

Seeing the items within the two light spheres, Song Chi’s eyes lit up with joy. Inside were two components for the warship, both of apparent high quality.

“Two Blue Quality warship components, where did you get these, Dad?”

“They were acquired while searching for Titanium Crystal, just additional gains. Pick one for yourself, and leave the other for your mom,” said Song Chao casually, but Song Chi understood that these two Blue Quality components were anything but easy to come by. These represented two Blue Quality Starry Sea Oddities, after all, not just any common cabbage to be obtained so readily.

Song Chao didn’t wish to elaborate, and Song Chi didn’t ask further. His gaze settled on the two warship components.

The attributes of each appeared one after another.

Obsidian Ship Armor lv0

Quality: Blue

Consumption: 4/s

Defence: 15

UpRank Requirement: 1 strand of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank), 100 Energy Points, 1 ton of Obsidian.

As for this first component, Song Chi wasn’t too interested.

The Cang Qiong already had Goldrock Ship Armor of White Quality. Although it was not as high-quality as the Obsidian Ship Armor, given the presence of the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator, whether it was White or Blue Quality ship armor didn’t make much difference.

Unless it was Purple Quality or higher, the significance wasn’t considerable.
