Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 106 - 93: The Largest Transaction_2
Chapter 106: Chapter 93: The Largest Transaction_2
Just the "consumer goods production lines" he had asked for earlier are probably far from enough.
And Gong Chu began to fall silent.
His eyes were still covered, yet Shen Shi seemed to feel his gaze focused on him.
After a while, Gong Chu suddenly asked softly, "Please forgive my boldness, Mr. Shen, your clan should have more than just this one treasure, right?"
"Oh?" Shen Shi heard his implication, "Do you want more?"
Is just the "Five Thousand Years of History" not enough?
Of course, Shen Shi was not angry.
These "ancient books" to him, had only one value, which was to be used for trading. As long as the other party could produce something that satisfied him in exchange, there was nothing that couldn’t be traded.
"Yes!" Gong Chu did not hide anything, his tone becoming serious as some Primordial Energy expressing his emotions surfaced again, "The ’Five Thousand Years of History’ indeed holds the potential for Gong Chu to reach the level of a Master of Primordial Energy within two years, but that is only potential. The exploration of one’s own origin and the understanding of one’s race require more than just a simple historical introduction. Culture is equally important. If your clan preserves more of humanity’s past, every additional piece means greater hope for humanity!"
This was fully opening up and being sincere, even heart-to-heart.
Bringing everything to the surface.
And now, Shen Shi also admitted, "Indeed, in my clan, many cultural heritage, especially from the Eastern Country, are preserved."
"In that case!"
Gong Chu took several steps back, and flames of Primordial Energy Manifestation emerged again on his entirely mechanical body.
This time, it was not due to emotional excitation.
But in conveying emotions.
Yes, at this moment, Shen Shi felt his excitement, joy, and determination.
Gong Chu even directly knelt on one knee before him, narrating in an ancient ceremonial manner and chanting-like tone:
"The object I am offering in the transaction is the entire Dongfeng Corps, including myself. I am willing to engrave a subordinate Primordial Energy Steel Seal and forever obey your orders."
"..."
Shen Shi remained silent, but wasn’t very surprised.
Because he had actually anticipated this possibility.
After all, according to Gong Chu, future humanity was already in perilously dire straits. Moreover, right from the start, he had mentioned that some people on the Mother Star wanted to use the black market to seek refuge from those who had fled outside the human forces, and even asked if he would accept them.
The "certain people" Gong Chu referred to might include himself.
So, Shen Shi’s current silence was actually just reflecting.
He didn’t know what Gong Chu meant by "Primordial Energy Steel Seal," but he could roughly imagine it as some kind of Primordial Energy Technology used for restricting individuals.
After all, Primordial Energy Technology is essentially an exploration of consciousness, and "control" is one of the most fundamental applications of Primordial Energy Technology. Its existence isn’t surprising.
But if its effect was apparent and reliable, could it be considered to bring some Future People back to the present, three thousand years ago?
This was the first time Shen Shi considered such a possibility.
He was always extremely cautious about this issue.
If the black market could bring devastation to human civilization in the Future World, then the Time Crystal was even exponentially more exaggerated!
Once leaked, it’s a treasure that would undoubtedly trigger disaster!
However... even if future human civilization gains Master of Primordial Energy, it might not be sufficient to navigate the crisis this time. If future humanity truly faces extinction, absorbing some of the future human elites along with various equipment and support may just be the last opportunity for the Time Crystal and black market to exert their effect...
Once anonymity was removed, one could see Shen Shi’s eyebrows tightly furrowed together.
At this moment, Gong Chu also clearly understood that Shen Shi was deliberating.
He maintained a partially kneeling posture, bowed his head, seemingly misunderstanding what Shen Shi was contemplating, and suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Shen, all transactions in this black market are protected by the black market terminal."
"What do you mean?" Shen Shi asked.
"The transaction of the Primordial Energy Steel Seal can also be completed under the witness of the black market," Gong Chu explained. In his view, Mr. Shen’s greatest concern might be that this would-be Master of Primordial Energy might tamper with the Primordial Energy Steel Seal.
But Gong Chu had no such intention.
As an individual’s Primordial Energy strength reaches the master’s stage, the ties to the entire race only become more intense.
Therefore, the existence standing before him which holds the culture remnants of his race is of immeasurable importance to him and the entire race.
Moreover, the steel seal he intends to engrave is nothing more than a subordination relationship, not a loss of self or memory alteration.
At this moment.
Shen Shi ceased to ponder.
"The transaction is established," he simply declared.
No matter what the future holds, at least for now, this transaction is extremely beneficial to him and to modern society.
He had searched Gong Chu’s identity in the information database.
The commander of the Dongfeng Corps, the leading figure in security services, and also a top-notch expert in Primordial Energy Mastery.
Power, strength, and wealth, in the Future World’s human civilization, stand at the pinnacle.
The unfinished Planet Fortress transaction relies entirely on him.
Plus the entire Dongfeng Corps.
This is absolutely the largest transaction so far!
Other issues can be meticulously evaluated later.
Shen Shi already felt urgency rising in his heart again. Although he had relaxed a bit after the Planet Fortress transaction, humanity remains too weak, whether it’s the humans of today or three thousand years from now, still too weak, too fragile to withstand significant adversity.
Shen Shi let out a deep sigh in his heart, then proceeded to produce a series of ancient books.
During the previous days, he was gradually collecting various books, films, music, and other culture-related information. Was taking out now only part of them.
Besides "Five Thousand Years of History" and a series of related books, the most conspicuous were the complete sets of primary and secondary school history and language textbooks!
At the moment of seeing these books, even the battle armor shielding half of his head could not resist Gong Chu’s fervent gaze, almost giving the impression of a direct stare.
Of course, this was also because Gong Chu did not conceal his emotions; otherwise, with his Primordial Energy Mastery, no matter how excited his mind was, he wouldn’t show any trace.
Yet even so, this reaction was still sufficient to illustrate his inner fervor.
This was a complete set of textbooks!
It must be understood that after the defeat in the war against the Worren Fleet, the first to be destroyed were various textbooks!
How did the clan to which Mr. Shen belongs manage to preserve these incredibly precious ancient books?
Mr. Shen’s surname is Shen, could it be.....
The clan to which Mr. Shen belongs, might they be descendants of that figure?
If so, then it seems not impossible to explain!
"Just for allowing these ancient books to survive until now, Mr. Shen and his clan deserve thanks from all humanity!" Gong Chu remained in a half-kneeling position, looking up at these books and murmured as if talking to himself, "Hope this can change the fate of humanity."
Change the fate of humanity...
Shen Shi listened to these words, silently speechless.
His goal was to change the fate of modern humanity, but now, even the future humanity’s fate is weighing on him?
But all he can rely on is only the Time Crystal!
And in the next moment!
The black market’s light screen directly popped up before Shen Shi.
Lines of information emerged.
"The user named Gong Chu is requesting your consciousness information to engrave the Primordial Energy Steel Seal."
"Transaction confirmation received, information transfer in progress."
"Information transferred, transaction authentication in progress."
"Transaction authentication completed, Primordial Energy Steel Seal has self-engraved, undergoing examination."
"Examination completed, confirmed as a subordinate Primordial Energy Steel Seal. According to the steel seal’s content, you can issue any command to the user named Gong Chu, under the premise of not endangering the survival of the human race."
"The transaction conforms to the content, transaction completed."
