Chapter 16 Orange Glory Treasure
The two brothers bickered for a few moments as usual, and then a large, thick hand suddenly reached out from the other side of the light screen, gently pressed on Chen Yan's head, and pushed him aside.
"Alright, stop joking around, let me and your brother get down to business."
His voice was deep and steady, carrying an undeniable authority, yet subtly revealing a hint of kindness.
In the light screen, a square face with distinct features appeared in the center, exuding a deep and unfathomable aura. It was Chen Yao's grandfather, Chen Beihe.
A fourth-tier peak Nascent Soul cultivator, Lei Xiu, is a top-tier fighter among the Chen family of Tianlan, whose combat strength is enough to rank among the top three.
"grandfather."
Chen Yao suppressed his laughter and greeted him respectfully.
Chen Beihe nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Chen Yao's face for a moment, as if checking on his grandson's condition.
After a moment, he nodded in satisfaction:
"With a joyful expression and high morale, it seems this exploration of the alien world has been quite fruitful."
"Thanks to Grandpa, things went relatively smoothly."
Chen Yao answered obediently, but added in his mind: It's mainly thanks to that "lucky card".
Chen Beihe didn't expose his polite words and went straight to the point:
"Your parents have already told me about your awakening of the Purple Flame Seed. As your grandfather, I have prepared a special gift for this awakening."
As he spoke, a brilliant orange light flashed across the communication screen.
"An orange-tier Glory artifact?"
Immediately, a surge of joy welled up in Chen Yao's heart.
Strictly speaking, a purple-grade artifact with one additional characteristic is already considered a high-quality component, while an orange-grade artifact, possessing as many as two artifact characteristics, is hailed as a symbol of "glory" by various intelligent civilizations across the starry sea.
Orange Glory, Red Epic, Silver...
The value of such rare items far exceeds that of ordinary low-grade planetary origin crystals; each one is enough to become the foundation for the inheritance of small and medium-sized forces in the boundless starry sea.
"Grandpa, is it the orange artifact that can transform shipboard components? What type exactly?"
In a short moment, Chen Yao's mind flashed through a multitude of terms, including main cannon, energy shield, air patrol radar, and even special enslavement components. Just as he was full of anticipation, what he finally received was his grandfather's ambiguous, teasing smile.
"I will arrange for the family delivery team to deliver the items in the next couple of days. They should arrive at Tianlan Star in about two weeks. You can check on them then."
As he spoke, Chen Beihe in the light screen turned his gaze to Chen Yan, who was winking and making faces at Chen Yao behind him.
"Yan boy, don't you dare tell your brother secretly. He needs to have something to look forward to for the next two weeks."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's expression stiffened. Although the answer would only be revealed half a month later, the intense curiosity that had already risen in his heart was making him restless.
But there was nothing he could do. Ultimately, the root of the problem was his "impulsive" behavior during his exploration of alien planets. His grandfather was trying to teach him a lesson in this way, but he couldn't explain it to himself.
Fortunately, Chen Beihe did not intend to actually punish his grandson in this matter. He casually mentioned it and quickly changed the subject.
"In addition, according to the clan's rules, clan members who awaken a blue or higher quality fire seed will receive a resource reward from the clan. Someone will contact you about this matter later. The reward includes blue artifact parts, low-grade planetary origin crystals, pills or potions suitable for the Firewood Captain, and Firewood warship enhancement materials. You can consider in advance what you need."
Chen Yao nodded solemnly, and then the call was disconnected.
Even as the communication screen dimmed, Chen Yao's mind remained preoccupied with that unknown orange object.
At one point, his eyes flickered, and he tentatively turned on his communication bracelet again. Soon, a message was sent to the number labeled "Brother".
"My dear brother, you can't bear to keep it from your brother, right? Tell me what it is."
Chen Yan replied quickly, and the beeping sound followed immediately, three times in a row.
"Brother, Grandpa is watching me right here, don't hurt me."
The second message that followed was a picture of Grandpa Chen Beihe glaring angrily.
As for the final third point, it made Chen Yao's face turn completely black.
"Brother, I never expected you to be like this. In the struggle for the crown prince position, you want to take a shortcut?"
The whole "fake" competition for the heir apparent left Chen Yao speechless, completely abandoning his idea of asking his younger brother for information.
I forced myself to stop thinking about the orange object and shifted my attention.
The family reward that Grandpa mentioned later definitely needs to be carefully considered.
The Chen family has long had a complete system for cultivating its members.
Take the new generation of clansmen as an example. If they are disciples who follow the cultivation or wizard system, they will usually be given specific resources after they break through to Qi Refining/First-Order Formal Wizard.
Qi Refining Clan: One top-tier first-class attack and defense magic weapon corresponding to the corresponding spiritual root attribute + 200 low-grade planetary origin crystals + one standard space bracelet
Wizard Clan: A suitable Tier 1 top-grade staff + a spellbook with five Tier 1 spell slots + 200 low-grade planetary origin crystals + a standard space bracelet
As for the members of the Torch Captain system, they can only choose two items from five options: blue artifact components, 1000 planetary origin crystals, spirit tempering pills, soul cleansing potions, and warship enhancement materials worth 1000 family universal points.
It's not that the family dislikes its members who follow the Fireship system; on the contrary, the Chen family of the Starry Sky United Universe Kingdom started with the Fireship system, and more than 70% of the family's combat power comes from the Fireship system.
The reason is that the five rewards in the Spark system have a unit price that far exceeds that of the other two systems.
The Chen family has a long history and an astonishing number of direct descendants. Even though the difficulty of awakening the Seed of Fire is increasing, the number of family members who can successfully awaken a blue or higher quality Seed of Fire each year is still considerable. Therefore, even though the Chen family is large and powerful, it can only maintain the current reward mechanism of choosing two out of five.
After much deliberation, Chen Yao finally made a decision.
The 1000 planetary origin crystals were obviously ruled out. He had gained a lot from this exploration of the alien star system, and once he sold all the mineral materials, he would not lack planetary origin crystals.
Warship enhancement materials were quickly ruled out for the same reason. He would directly exchange some of the mineral materials for the clan, converting them into clan-wide points. He could then purchase any enhancement materials he needed from the clan's trading network.
As for the remaining three items—the blue artifact, the Spirit Tempering Pill, and the Soul Cleansing Elixir—Chen Yao thought for a moment and decided to wait and see.
He needs to find out if the blue artifact contains any puppet soldiers or slave-related parts, as that is what he needs most right now.
The Spirit Tempering Pill, as its name suggests, is a spiritual pill refined by a high-level alchemist from the family's cultivation side. It is extremely suitable for low-level Firewood Captains and can greatly increase the cultivation speed of guiding techniques.
The final Soul Cleansing Elixir is a spirit-restoring elixir that Chen Yao had vowed to equip the Sky Patrol with. It was also formulated by a high-level alchemist from the clan's wizard side, and the quantity was limited. Even within the clan, it has always been a limited supply.
