Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start
Chapter 147 - 114: Prepare to Assemble and Set Out

Chapter 147: Chapter 114: Prepare to Assemble and Set Out

For instance, the initial trade with the Collector.

Though it’s still those four movies, Shen Shi remembers very clearly that at the time, he had inquired about a better warship, and the emotion conveyed by the Collector, along with his words, expressed that the Wogte was the best immigrant warship he could offer. He even said, "Within the Pasture Master’s sphere of influence, no civilization would dare sell an immigrant warship to us."

But in this memory, facing the same inquiry, the Collector did not have such an answer.

He even asked if there were better antiques available.

So, the Wogte was still traded from this entirely new future, but it’s no longer the best warship the Collector owns?

Indeed, this future is ultimately stronger than the one he visited before!

The trade with Gong Chu has also undergone such subtle changes.

For example, the batch traded to him, which was clearly the "old warships" used by the Dongfeng Corps hundreds of years ago, is now described as "antique warships" modeled after humanity’s earliest fleet design, produced when the Dongfeng Corps was just established twelve hundred years ago and created their first warship production factory.

Then, in the trade supporting his rise to become a Master of Primordial Energy, Gong Chu’s reaction appeared more urgent than it did the previous time Shen Shi experienced it.

Because last time, the hope brought by the Master of Primordial Energy was only a slim chance.

But this time, considering humanity’s strength, the appearance of a Master of Primordial Energy might just be the final straw that tips the scales!

Thus, Shen Shi is still the new Corps Commander of the Dongfeng Corps.

"It’s truly unbelievable," Shen Shi murmured to himself.

He can feel that this is indeed his consciousness residue, but the way it came into being seems different from the usual method.

It’s like a part of his existence appeared in the Future World, and as the future got altered, it also changed, forming this shadow under the influence of the world’s changes.

It is both a part of himself and the self on the altered timeline.

More importantly, the consciousness residue must have an auxiliary AI, which is none other than the black market itself!

Yes, Shen Shi clearly feels that within the black market itself exists an AI, devoid of self-awareness, running according to specific programming. This AI, influenced by the changes in the timeline, assisted Shen Shi’s consciousness residue, born from world line changes, in completing the repair of transaction logic to a certain extent and resumed historical trades under the world line changes.

"It’s as if it serves Time Crystal specifically..." Shen Shi has always had a question: why does Time Crystal appear with the black market terminal on his person?

Time Crystal is currently unique to him, a device that can traverse three thousand years of time.

While the black market terminal is owned by many humans in the Future World.

From a superficial perspective, they seem to lack any necessary connection, yet practically, they form a powerful force capable of trading across the past and future, easily altering time lines.

And now it seems.

The black market terminal appears to be specifically designed for the use of Time Crystal.

Combined together, they form a complete mechanism for altering timelines!

However—

This method of consciousness residue seems only suitable for minor adjustments when future changes aren’t overwhelmingly dramatic.

If future changes expand further, the value of traded items will inevitably undergo greater alterations.

To say nothing of, should humanity ultimately achieve true victory, the legacy would no longer be severed, and even if Gong Chu exists three thousand years hence, he wouldn’t trade himself for some ancient books, let alone the whole Dongfeng Corps.

By then, how would the future world, including past trades, evolve?

Shen Shi finds it hard to speculate at this moment.

But at least now, this current change is more advantageous to Shen Shi.

Now knowing what has transpired, Shen Shi doesn’t linger in the black market any longer. After glancing at the Collector’s shop, which remains closed, he sends a message to the Collector requesting a trade for better warships.

This is naturally prepared specifically for that one Daike Battleship.

From the records of history, the technology on that Daike Battleship is certainly more powerful than the Wogte, however, it could only coerce Shen Shi to appear by attacking the Human Fleet, even taking four years to complete its pursuit when Shen Shi escaped.

Thus, it is evident that although the Daike Battleship is stronger than the Wogte, it isn’t overwhelmingly superior.

After all, it is merely a warship from the Daike Node Base.

In today’s increasingly powerful Future World, finding a warship stronger than this Daike Battleship shouldn’t be difficult.

If the Collector doesn’t have one, then let Gong Chu search for it.

If worse comes to worst, any other weaponry capable of dealing with this insignificant Daike Battleship would suffice.

For the Daike Battleship, which brought great pain to him in another timeline and to another Human Civilization, Shen Shi won’t miss the chance if it arises!

Future grievances, resolved now, don’t seem to pose any problem.

Shen Shi opens his eyes once more.

He can distinctly feel that upon absorbing the consciousness residue born from the changes in the timeline, his achievements in Primordial Energy have seen a substantial rise.
