Chapter 93: Chapter 81: Purple Quality [Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine] (New Year's Extra)_2
Just at that moment, Chen Lixia's phoenix eyes glared over.
"Song Chao, can't you speak properly? What's the point of shouting in front of your son? Our son is called mature and steady, a thousand, no, ten thousand times better than others."
Song Chao gave his wife an annoyed look but after some thought, he said to Song Chi:
"Forget it, just come with me alone."
At this, Song Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For him to show such a large face in front of the entire White Tower Floating Land, and even in front of guests from other star domains of the duchy, to tell the truth, it wasn't that he didn't dare, but he really didn't want to. It attracted too much attention.
Song Chi's idea was very simple: just quietly manage his little Ruins Market, occasionally explore the Alien Star Domain, and grow slowly and quietly. That was better than anything else. Seeking fame in front of others, that would truly be too difficult for him.
Once the high-ranking individuals of the entire White Tower Floating Land paid attention to him, it would greatly increase the risk of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market being exposed, which he absolutely wanted to avoid.
In the main building of the Angry Lion Courtyard, in a very secretive chamber, Song Mingsong and his wife, who were originally preparing to attend the banquet, were standing inside this chamber.
"That boy, our third son, always so secretive. God knows what he's up to. If he can't give a proper explanation later, watch how I deal with him."
At his side, Bai Xiuqin glanced at Song Mingsong.
"Calm down, since our third son is so anxious, he must have something important. Stop grumbling."
At that moment, the door to the chamber suddenly opened, and then Song Chao came in with Song Chi.
"Hmph!"
Song Mingsong snorted coldly. Even though he had already promised Bai Xiuqin he would calm down, he just couldn't give his third son a pleasant look.
He had learned from Song Qi and Song Lin about the last Titanium Crystal matter. The kid had said he would hand over half, which was 1,205 pieces, but when it came to communication, it mysteriously became 1,000 pieces. He had pocketed 205 pieces, and he still thinks I don't know about it.
However, as soon as Song Chi followed his dad into the chamber, Song Mingsong's originally stern face immediately relaxed, and with a warm smile, he said:
"Little Chi, you're here, come over!"
"Grandfather, Grandmother!" Song Chi quickly approached with a respectful tone, and also with genuine joy from the heart.
To the ears of Song Mingsong and his wife, this was naturally very pleasing.
"Chi'er, come let grandma have a look, it's good that you've awakened successfully."
...
After a conversation, Song Mingsong looked at Song Chao in front of him.
"What's the matter? Spit it out, everyone's waiting at the banquet!"
Song Chao quickly signaled to Song Chi, who wasn't far away.
All of a sudden, the gaze of all three fell upon Song Chi, who then hurriedly took out the Intermediate Energy Crystal.
At the moment Song Chi took out the Energy Crystal, a brilliant light shone in Song Mingsong's eyes. The Spectral Energy surged around him, and he almost instantly moved in front of Song Chi.
"An Intermediate Energy Crystal!!"
With just one glance, Song Mingsong accurately identified the fist-sized crystal in Song Chi's hands, with no need to check it personally.
This alone showed that his discernment was far superior to that of Song Chao, the Second Rank Torch Ship Captain.
"Little Chi, where did you get this Intermediate Energy Crystal from?"
At his side, Grandmother Bai Xiuqin also had a glint of light flowing in her eyes, her heart equally stirred.
Hearing Bai Xiuqin's question, Song Chi carefully recounted the matter of the Insect Race and the Queen Insect, naturally omitting anything related to the Buluo Civilization Ruins and simply mentioning an accidental encounter with a long-dormant group of the Insect Race.
Song Mingsong and the others didn't mind these details. Once they knew the source of the Intermediate Energy Crystal had no problems, Song Mingsong couldn't help but burst into a loud laugh, then joyfully said to Song Chi:
"Little Chi, this Intermediate Energy Crystal has come just in time, it's of great use to the family. Tell me, what reward do you want!"
"Grandfather, this is a congratulation gift I prepared for Grandmother, I don't need..."
Song Chi was just about to refuse, as dad had reminded him, but as expected, he was immediately interrupted by his excited grandfather.
```
"A gift is a gift, and a reward is a reward. Since you've managed to offer such a splendid gift, it's only natural for Grandpa to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"
Hearing this, Song Chi no longer hesitated and gave the answer he had already decided on in his heart.
"Grandpa, the Cangqiong still lacks a high-quality engine part."
Song Mingsong thought for a moment, then with a wave of his hand, a strand of light shot out from his forehead and finally floated in front of Song Chi.
"I happen to have a shipborne engine that I don't need, see what you think of it."
Song Chi also mobilized the spectral energy within his body, a pulling force emanating from his Ancestral Aperture, slowly drawing the cluster of light that emitted a rich purple hue into his Ancestral Torch.
His heartbeat accelerated, and he couldn't help but inwardly exclaim,
"No wonder Dad said Grandpa has a lot of good stuff. I never imagined he'd casually hand over a shipborne engine part of purple quality."
Initially, he thought that getting an engine of blue quality would be enough to satisfy the enhancement of the dark matter energy shield generator, but this purple engine was completely beyond his expectations.
As the Seed of Torch came into contact with the group of purple light, its attributes quickly became fully visible to Song Chi.

After reviewing the attributes of the purple engine, Song Chi could hardly contain his excitement. Compared to the "Nuclear Fusion Engine" he first acquired, this engine offered even better effects for the Torch Warship.
After his initial excitement, Song Chi loudly thanked his grandfather.
Song Mingsong was also pleased, and the ghost light flickered in his forehead once again, followed by another sphere of light appearing.
Song Chi gasped, his heartbeat already at its limit.
Song Mingsong was actually bringing out another component of purple level.
Indeed, the second sphere of light was also emitting a dazzling purple glow.
This gave Song Chi a feeling of being incredibly favored, not because he was afraid his grandfather had any other intentions, but because he did not believe he had the talent to merit such an investment from the old man.
One must know that purple relics are highly attractive, even to a Third Rank Torch Ship Captain, and are not easily parted with, let alone two of them in a row.
Keep in mind, the talent he had awakened was merely the colorless Seed of Torch, and with such a level of talent, it was highly unlikely that he would ever cross the threshold to the Third Rank no matter how much was invested.
"Don't overthink it, I already said I was going to give you a grand present before, and this is it, accept it!"
Before Song Chi could voice the doubts in his heart, Song Mingsong explained first.
Once reassured, Song Chi remembered that when his father had contacted his grandfather previously about the Titanium Crystal matter, Song Mingsong indeed mentioned this. However, he hadn't taken it to heart, as Song Mingsong had given him many small gifts since he was little.
But he had never imagined that the grand present Song Mingsong mentioned would be a component of purple level. One must understand that this signified a Starry Sea Oddity of purple level, whose value was incalculable.
A myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, but all eventually turned into a profound warmth.
This was not the type of meticulous care expressed in words, but rather actions that consistently demonstrated an unspoken love.
This is what family is, this is what a true bloodline family is, isn't it?
After a long while, Song Chi suppressed the multitude of emotions in his heart and once again mobilized the spectral energy to access the Ancestral Torch.
Soon, as the second group of purple light was also drawn into the Ancestral Torch and enveloped entirely by the Seed of Torch within the Ancestral Aperture, detailed attributes emerged.
