Chapter 271 - 163: Cang Qiong’s Attributes Skyrocket · Million-Level Big Transaction at a 20-Fold Price Difference
Of course, before completely opening the warship attribute panel of Cang Qiong, Song Chi didn’t forget to re-install the few components he had taken apart.
Of course, there weren’t many, only five.
They were the [Fire Peony Soldier Figurine Tree], [Purple River Translocation Device], [Fixed-Point Launch Pad], [Space Beacon Emitter], and [Blood Soul Stigma].
The enhancement level of these five components was only lv20 previously, having consumed only some Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origins, which was still within Song Chi’s acceptable range.
As for things like the [Enslavement Medal] and the [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator]... [Abnormal Status Purifier] and [Healing Fruit], they had either consumed quite a lot of Second Rank Floating Land Origin or even Titanium Crystal and Third Rank Floating Land Origin.
Song Chi really didn’t have the courage to dismantle all of them; the loss would be too great.
After enhancing the [Fire Peony Soldier Figurine Tree] and the other four to lv20, the complete warship attribute panel then fully appeared before him.
[Name: Cang Qiong]
[Model: Torch - Guardian Class Spectral Warship]
[Level: lv20]
[Base Components: Blue Torch Warship Body lv20, Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon (Orange) lv30, Electromagnetic Ray Cannon (Blue) lv30, Obsidian Ship Armor (Purple) lv30, Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine (Purple) lv30, Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator (Orange) lv30, Silver III Generation Super-wave Magic Energy Detection Radar (Orange) lv27, Spectral Cultivation Room lv0 (8/11)]
[Additional Components: Fire Peony Soldier Figurine Tree (White) lv20, Brainwave Remote Control System (Purple) lv25, Abnormal Status Purifier (Blue) lv39, Purple River Translocation Device (Blue) lv20, Healing Fruit (White) lv29, Fixed-Point Launch Pad (Blue) lv20, Phantom Thruster (Purple) lv23, Blood Soul Stigma (Blue) lv20, Enslavement Medal (Red) lv30, Space Beacon Emitter (Blue) lv20, Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine Tree (Orange) lv30 (13/26)]
[Spectral Energy Pool: 60000/60000]
[Supplies: Forty strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, 234 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, 188 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, 1 Titanium Crystal...]
His gaze lingered for a good while on the phrase "Guardian Class Spectral Warship" in the warship model category, and then Song Chi turned his attention to the [Base Components] section.
His eyes converged first on the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon], and soon the attributes of this orange main cannon emerged. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As expected, although its enhancement level was still lv30, its attributes had significantly improved compared to two days ago when Cang Qiong was still at First Rank.
Two days earlier, this main cannon’s attack attribute was "490200", but now with the successful advancement to Second Rank, the value had become "612750".
490200→612750
While this increase might not seem too extraordinary, the key here is that the gains are not limited to the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon] alone but apply to all of Cang Qiong’s [Base Components], and that is the most astonishing part.
Take the [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] component, for example.
Before the promotion to the escort ship, its defence attribute and shield value attribute were as follows:
Defence: 159600
Shield Value: 4120000/4120000
And now it has become:
Defence: 199500
Shield Value: 6434000/6434000
Besides the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon] and [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator], the [Electromagnetic Ray Cannon] and [Obsidian Ship Armor], among others, also experienced a similar increase.
The reason for this increase is simple. Previously, when it was a Spectral Airship, all the warship’s base component slots received an additional 20% attribute bonus compared to Zero Rank, but with the promotion to the Guardian Class, this bonus effect increased from 20% to 50%.
Never underestimate this effect; it’s akin to granting every base component a steadfast "Performance Enhancement 50%" feature of purple quality.
And this is the very reason why warships with the same enhancement level and quality of base components perform so much better on Guardian Class warships than on Spectral Airships.
Additionally, the increase of three secondary cannon slots that comes with the promotion to Guardian Class is another main reason.
(PS: In the last chapter, some readers asked why Song Chi insisted on promoting Cang Qiong instead of directly enhancing the main cannon, energy shield, and other components. The reason is here. Remember, warship promotion can enhance all base components comprehensively, and the same goes for future Cruisers and Zhulu Warships.)
Withdrawing his gaze from the [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator], Song Chi looked at the three new secondary cannon slots that had appeared.
After the promotion from a Spectral Airship to a Guardian Class warship, although the main cannon slots didn’t increase—that would be something for a future promotion to a Cruiser—the addition of three secondary cannon slots means that a Torch Warship now has four secondary cannons, providing a small boost to its own firepower.
As for these three new secondary cannons, Song Chi had long planned for them.
The current [Electromagnetic Ray Cannon] already possessed a crowd control attribute, and for the remaining three secondary cannons, he would likely choose components that excel in slowing, armor breaking, or shield breaking.
He may also opt for those special secondary cannons with unique damage types.
For example, cannons that can deal additional damage to spiritual bodies, Divine Souls, etc.
In the upcoming expedition to the Soul Spirit Floating Land, the Soul Spirit Clan that needed to be confronted held great advantages in Divine Soul attributes, so equipping a secondary cannon capable of targeted damage would likely yield impressive results.
However, Song Chi did not hold much hope for such secondary cannons at the moment.
Long before Song Hengtong issued his mission, the clan had already quietly snapped up all the warship components that had special effects on Divine Souls—whether it was main cannons, secondary cannons, or special components—from the market by members of The First Direct Lineage.
