Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 1017 - 532: Promotion of Seed of Torch Quality

"Li’er, it’s time to eat..."

A woman’s voice called out from the kitchen. Moments later, the door to the side courtyard’s cultivation room swung open, and a girl whose skin was coated with an unknown cultivation liquid stepped out.

Seeing this, the plump woman busy in the kitchen hurriedly poked her head out and said:

"Li’er, did you just finish applying the Body Tempering Liquid? It’s alright to wait a bit. The family’s quota for Body Tempering Liquid has always been tight, and your father worked hard to exchange Merit Points to get this for you. You’re only two years away from the Torch Awakening; you can’t waste even the slightest opportunity to improve your Guidance Technique level!"

Her cheeks flushed, still caught in the lingering effects of a morning’s cultivation, the girl shook her head.

"It’s fine, Mom, the effect has just been absorbed. I’ll go wash up!"

Ten minutes later, the mother and daughter sat down at the dining table. Before picking up her chopsticks, the girl seemed to recall something and asked:

"Mom, where’s my brother?"

Upon hearing her precious daughter ask this question, the woman rolled her eyes.

"Where else could he be but holed up in the Warship Summoning Room, cultivating the Guidance Technique?"

She waved her hand dismissively, pretending to be impatient as she replied:

"Let’s not bother about him. Your brother is already a Guardian Ship Captain; it’s normal if he doesn’t eat for several months. You should eat more..."

Before the woman could finish her sentence, a noise suddenly came from the hall. Both turned their heads to look and saw a broad-shouldered, square-faced man stepping out of the entrance to the Underground Warship Summoning Room, bare-chested.

The man’s name was Song Liang, the older brother of the girl and son of the plump woman.

At the sight of Song Liang, the woman’s face lit up with evident joy. Though her words were sharp, what mother wouldn’t be delighted by her son? She quickly spoke up:

"Xiao Liang, come over quickly. I just happened to make your favorite..."

But before she could finish, Song Liang cut her off:

"Mom, did you make Fire Carp Soup?"

The moment the words "Fire Carp Soup" reached her ears, the woman seemed to understand instantly. She stood up hurriedly, her eyes sparkling with joy.

"Xiao Liang, does this mean the Seed of Torch has..."

Don’t let her current housewife appearance fool you; she was nearly one hundred and fifty years old, having been promoted to Guardian Ship Captain years ago, and her knowledge was anything but shallow.

While asking, she didn’t wait for Song Liang to reply and quickly ran back to the kitchen to open the cupboard.

In the corner of the cabinet, a layer of Spectral Energy formed a sealed barrier. After the woman dispersed the barrier, it revealed a bowl of steaming soup still emitting an enticing aroma.

Taking the soup, Song Liang downed it in one gulp and immediately sat cross-legged where he stood.

On the side, the woman’s face showed a mix of emotions—expectation, joy, and worry.

This was when Song Li walked over as well.

"Mom, what’s happening with Brother?"

Suppressing her chaotic thoughts, the woman softly explained:

"Your grandfather knew he had no hope of reaching the Third Rank, so he used all the contribution points he accumulated over two hundred years to exchange for the family’s newly launched ’Fire Carp’ resource for your brother. After decades of continuous supplementation, your brother’s white Seed of Torch should be evolving into blue!"

Upon hearing this, Song Li likewise felt genuine happiness for her elder brother. This meant that Song Liang’s theoretical maximum would rise to Cruiser Captain. For someone like her, who hadn’t yet awakened, this would undoubtedly mean greater support in the future.

Song Liang’s transformation lasted for several dozen minutes. When he finally opened his eyes, the fleeting image of a blue flame in his pupils caused Song Li and her mother to be filled with nothing but joy.

"Mom, Li’er, I need to head back to the Warship Summoning Room to enhance the warship components. Don’t wait for me."

"Do you have enough Floating Land Origin?"

"More than enough!"

As Song Liang’s figure disappeared again into the entrance of the Warship Summoning Room, the woman’s expression of happiness lingered for a long time. However, amid her joy, she turned to her daughter and solemnly admonished:

"Li’er, the family is currently undergoing rapid development. The ancestors and Family Heads are not stingy in cultivating the younger generation. Body Tempering Liquid, Blood Bodhi, Floating Land Origin, Fire Carp—these rare resources, which would cause external forces to fight over them, can all be exchanged as long as you have contributions and merit. These are the blessings of your generation, so you must not slack off."

"If your grandfather’s generation had access to such an environment back then, he might already be an Extreme Cruiser Captain by now, perhaps even close to becoming a Zhulu Warship Captain. Don’t let down me, your father, and the entire family’s expectations!"

"Mom, I understand!"

...

At Jiesong Floating Land, a hundred-meter-long Escort Ship soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the Floating Land’s horizon.

In the Battleship Main Control Room, Song Liang activated the Jump Device without hesitation.

Over one hundred light-years away, on the outskirts of Jiesong Star Region, the [Chenliang] sped forward after exiting the jump phase.

In the Battleship Main Control Room, Song Liang’s eyes were filled with undisguisable excitement.

"With the help of Dad and Grandpa, the [Chenliang], an Escort Ship stabilized for close to fifty years, has long been cemented in its foundation. Now that the Seed of Torch has evolved into blue, I just need one piece of Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence, and the [Chenliang] can attempt to initiate the Warship Promotion Task."

"Once successful, I’ll become a Cruiser Captain at just over eighty years old, ranking among the upper-middle levels of the family. Afterward, aiming for a Zhulu Warship Captain is certainly possible!"

At the thought of this, Song Liang’s excitement was hard to suppress. A Zhulu Warship Captain was someone capable of subduing a low-level Floating Land, observing Starry Sea’s transformations for two thousand years, and holding a mid-to-high rank in any faction.
