Effect: Consumes a certain amount of psionic energy to summon a Tier 2 Rock Guardian Soldier that is completely obedient to commands. The Rock Guardian Soldier lasts for 10 minutes, and a maximum of nine can be summoned at the same time. After the Soldier's duration ends or it dies, it can only be summoned again after 24 hours.
……
After carefully examining the attributes of the [Rock Guardian Figurine Platform], Chen Yao then tentatively summoned a Rock Guardian figurine.
As a blue light flashed above the [Rock Guardian Terrace], a burly terracotta warrior, over two meters tall, wielding a stone axe and covered in layers of rock, quickly appeared.
Compared to Xiaoxing's previous liveliness and energy, this rock guardian terracotta warrior is noticeably more rigid.
Or to be more precise, it is actually an inanimate object. As a puppet, it requires the summoner to use their mental energy to control it in order to perform the most basic actions or fights, and it cannot stray too far from the summoning warship.
Besides, despite its aura reaching the second tier, it is actually quite weak. As a puppet summoned by a rare artifact, and a standardized puppet that can be summoned in groups, although it is given the same enhancement level as the artifact parts, its actual combat power is far from comparable to that of a second-tier creature. Even when facing a first-tier being, it is not necessarily possible to gain an advantage.
Otherwise, why would Chen Yao have positioned him as a miner and cannon fodder from the very beginning?
The individual combat power of a single Fire-type warship actually depends on the enslaved creatures it commands.
As far as Chen Yao knew, his father's flagship, the Dingyue, had a fourth-tier "Crocodile Ghost General" enslaved on board. Although it was only a newly advanced fourth-tier Crocodile Ghost General, it was still a genuine fourth-tier combat force.
Thinking of this, Chen Yao was naturally filled with envy, but he quickly came to his senses. He knew that the Crocodile Demon General was still too far away from him at present.
The difficulty of successfully enslaving a fourth-tier crocodile demon general is simply too terrifying.
The orange enslavement component [Beast Suppression Ring] that Chen Tianhua's father had acquired at great expense was merely the most basic step in the entire enslavement process.
In addition, my grandfather Chen Beihe and maternal grandfather Gu Lingxian made dozens of trips back and forth, and the total time spent on this matter was no less than thirty years.
That wasn't the end of it. Two fourth-tier Nascent Soul cultivators had given their all and worked hard for nearly thirty years, but they still couldn't succeed. In the end, Chen Beihe used his once-in-a-century authority to ask a fifth-tier Deity Transformation cultivator from his family who was extremely skilled in the way of the soul to take action. Only then was his father able to barely complete the enslavement of a Crocodile Ghost General who had just entered the fourth tier.
……
"Mom, I want to go to Iron Crocodile Planet!"
In the living room on the first floor of his house, Chen Yao, who had just finished his promotion from the Seed of the Torch, took the initiative to speak to his mother.
On the sofa, Gu Ping, who was eating fruit, paused and turned to look at him in surprise.
Missing your dad?
Chen Yao, of course, wouldn't say that he had other motives, and simply nodded.
Although he had previously exchanged mineral materials worth over a thousand low-grade planetary origin crystals with his family, he still had mineral materials worth over two thousand low-grade planetary origin crystals in the Sky Patrol ship's cabin space, and he had to find a way to trade them away as soon as possible.
It's not appropriate for the family to intervene again. A gain of ten times the average is already considered exceptionally lucky, but forty times is a bit of an exaggeration.
Even with Chen Tianhua and Chen Beihe behind him, providing sufficient deterrence, attracting attention was still unavoidable.
After all, the cooldown period for the "Secret Realm Card" is only nine months, and there will be no shortage of similar situations in the future.
Chen Yao's plan was to visit Iron Crocodile Star, where his father was stationed. He could visit his father, who had been stationed there for two years, and also try to sell the remaining mineral materials he had on Iron Crocodile Star.
Although Iron Crocodile Star is also located in the northern front line of the Dragon Feng River system, it has been occupied by the family for more than 20 years. Now the family and the Crocodile Ghost Clan have pushed the front line to a star field thousands of light-years away from Iron Crocodile Star, so the level of danger is limited.
Furthermore, as the guardian's son, it would be far easier for him to carry out any clandestine operations than on other planets.
For example, Chen Yao already has the idea of opening a shop on Iron Crocodile Star, and he has even thought of a name for it: "Universal Mining Company".
His plan was for the mining company to primarily acquire various minerals produced near Iron Crocodile Star.
As a level-two inhabited planet on the front lines of the battlefield, it had only been occupied for a little over twenty years. Small groups of Crocodile Demons occasionally appeared in the surrounding area, and transport fleets were frequently attacked and suffered heavy losses. As a result, a large number of citizens of the intergalactic nation who were unwilling to take risks naturally emerged.
These citizens, who had acquired a large amount of mineral resources from the surrounding star systems, gathered on Iron Crocodile Star and sold their acquired resources at prices several times lower than the market price. Then they set off again to the surrounding star systems to continue searching for and mining more valuable resources.
As a result, a large amount of mineral materials naturally flow to Iron Crocodile Star every year. Even though most of them are taken away by Chen's own caravan, for Chen Yao now, even the slightest bit that leaks out from the cracks is enough to make him very profitable. The key is that it can perfectly cover the gains he will make from exploring other star regions in the future, killing two birds with one stone.
"Okay, but the ship from Tianlan to Iron Crocodile Star only runs once a month. The next one won't be for another nine days. Don't tell your dad yet. We'll give him a little surprise later."
Chen Yao gave a knowing gesture, showing no surprise whatsoever.
In the past two years, her mother and father have only seen each other a handful of times because of her. Now that she can go to Iron Crocodile Star, which her father guards, she is overjoyed and would never refuse.
As for danger, the Tianlan fleet that travels directly to Iron Crocodile Star is personally overseen by Golden Core cultivators and third-tier wizards, so the possibility of encountering danger is not high.
……
In his private bedroom, Chen Yao turned on his Tianxun bracelet again.
A short while later, three identical messages were sent out one after another.
"We're planning to open a small shop on Iron Crocodile Star that buys up mineral resources. Should we invest some money?"
