Global Era of Star Trekking

“Ji Steward, give us a clear answer—what exactly do you want in order to finalize the trade?”

Song Yan didn’t care for cryptic communication and spoke directly and to the point.

Opposite them, Ji Min’s gaze shifted, though he didn’t respond immediately.

Song Chi and Song Yan exchanged glances and eventually brought out a small porcelain bottle.

Upon inspecting the contents of the bottle, Ji Min’s eyes lit up with sharp brilliance.

“Is this Sixth Rank [Moon Spring]?”

“Ji Steward has sharp eyes. Indeed, this is a Sixth Rank [Moon Spring]. Recently, quite a few Fearless Captains are attempting breakthroughs to Star-Annihilating Starships. Frankly, over ninety percent fail. The current price of a Sixth Rank [Moon Spring] has skyrocketed severalfold. What about trading it for that [Earth Spirit Ginseng]?”

Upon saying this, Song Chi and Song Yan stared intently at Ji Min, awaiting his reply.

This Sixth Rank [Moon Spring] was formerly in the possession of the Old Ancestor Song Wujiang. After the [Dinghai Dragon Steed] ascended directly into a Star-Annihilating Starship and no longer required it, it was returned to Song Chi. Now, in pursuit of the [Earth Spirit Ginseng], they had no choice but to take it out.

The ten-thousand-year [Earth Spirit Ginseng], coupled with the current tensions, has seen its value multiply several times. Ordinary resources and Floating Land Origin were clearly insufficient to move the other party. To ensure the Old Ancestor’s breakthrough in the Guidance Technique, Song Chi could no longer hesitate.

As the highest-ranking manager of the Heavenly Melody Trading Association stationed in Silver Disk City, Ji Min had encountered countless notable figures, so he remained composed under the gaze of two Fearless Captains.

After some thought, his expression turned hesitant.

“The ten-thousand-year [Earth Spirit Ginseng] is a Spiritual Object crucial for breaking through to the Seventh-Order Guiding Technique, with extraordinary value. While the Sixth Rank [Moon Spring] is indeed precious, compared to the [Earth Spirit Ginseng], there’s still a gap…”

He paused at this point, but Song Chi and Song Yan had already deciphered his implication.

Without hesitation, Song Chi produced a second porcelain bottle.

“Adding this Fifth Rank [Moon Spring].”

“Deal!”

Upon confirming the authenticity of the Fifth Rank [Moon Spring], a bright smile spread across Ji Min’s face as he readily agreed.

Ji Min himself was a seasoned Battleship Captain, over three thousand years old. Without his accumulated experience, he wouldn’t have managed to secure the position of managing the Silver Disk branch amidst fierce competition within the Heavenly Melody Trading Association. However, due to his advancing age, Ji Min’s desire to break through to Fearless Captain was extraordinarily strong.

With the looming threat of civilizations at war, once the fighting began, its duration would be unpredictable—it might even outlast his remaining lifespan. If he didn’t seize the opportunity to advance before the war erupted, he feared he’d lose his last chance.

Thus, when Song Chi offered the Fifth Rank [Moon Spring], he didn’t hesitate to finalize the trade.

Both parties completed the exchange and swiftly obtained what they desired.

At the entrance of the Heavenly Melody store, Song Chi and Song Yan stepped out.

Suddenly, the two simultaneously felt a subtle shift in intuition and their peripheral vision caught sight of three figures who had just brushed past.

Despite the trio’s efforts to suppress their energy, there was no escaping detection under their Double Pupils. Of the three, two possessed Sixth-Order Guiding Techniques, while the third was a Fifth Rank Peak.

Nonetheless, for Song Chi and Song Yan, this was merely a minor distraction—a fleeting surprise soon dismissed.

Silver Disk Floating Land serves as the capital of the entire Silver Disk River System and even connects the capitals of surrounding river systems. Silver Disk City is the foremost trading city in the Floating Land’s open zone. Encounters with such powerful individuals were not unusual.

…

Back at the Heavenly Melody store, on the top floor.

“Quite unfortunate, the item you seek has just been purchased.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man at the center of the trio urgently asked:

“When did this happen?”

Knowing that the trio’s identity was anything but ordinary, Ji Min didn’t withhold information.

“Just moments ago—you may have already crossed paths with the buyers.”

At this statement, the three exchanged a knowing glance.

“The two who just exited the store.”

Without waiting for Ji Min to elaborate further, the trio rose abruptly, Spectral Energy swirling around them. To save time, they flew directly out from the shop’s top floor window.

A few minutes later.

“Friends, please wait!”

Song Chi and Song Yan heard the call from behind and turned, spotting the trio they had encountered earlier approaching.

Their expressions showed neither fear nor concern—merely curiosity.

Silver Disk City, co-constructed by multiple major factions, was a place where few Sixth Rank Fearless Captains dared to stir trouble.

“Did you two just purchase the [Earth Spirit Ginseng] from the Heavenly Melody store?”

Understanding their intentions, Song Chi and Song Yan were immediately disinterested and turned away.

“We have our use for it—not for sale.”

With this straightforward response, they completely shut down any further offers or negotiations from the pursuing trio.

Seeing Song Chi and Song Yan resolutely turn away, one of the Fearless Captains among the trio grew anxious and spoke quickly:

“We hail from the neighboring Cloud Disk River System’s Zhao Royal Family. Could you grant us some face? We’re willing to pay a high price!”

Song Chi and Song Yan’s brows furrowed slightly, though they weren’t too surprised. Two Fearless Captains alongside a Peak Battleship Captain signaled that their background was anything but ordinary.

The Cloud Disk River System lies to the east of the Silver Disk River System, opposite the Heavenly Disk River System. The You Song Kingdom dominates the internal hierarchy, and as the You Song Royal Family, the Zhao Clan is comparable in power to the Tuoba Royal Family. For them, dispatching two Fearless Captains was a trivial matter.

Although slightly intrigued, Song Chi and Song Yan’s footsteps did not pause.

“You…”

One of the Zhao Clan’s Fearless Captains had more to say but was interrupted by the middle-aged Fearless Captain.
