Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 43: Isn’t this done?

This is also why the Collector put great importance on him from the beginning. freewebnoveℓ.com

Even in the end, he was believed to be from some "Yuan Yuan Clan"!

Only in the Collector’s place, lacking comparison, this attitude wasn’t very obvious. But this time, the store owner’s change in attitude after he spoke was exceedingly clear.

Of course, regardless of his inner reactions, Shen Shi can now control his emotions well, not to mention the anonymity effect, so his emotions didn’t show at all.

He calmly said, "It should be E-level, similar to the Worren Fleet from three thousand years ago."

"No more accurate data?" the store owner asked.

The translation showed a simple, efficient tone, almost without extra words.

This is probably the opponent’s style.

"No, using the Worren Fleet from three thousand years ago as a reference is fine, it won’t be stronger than that," Shen Shi said.

This statement wouldn’t cause any issues.

From the information library, it’s known that even three thousand years in the future, the dangers faced by Human Civilization aren’t just the "tribute" every twelve years; various dangers still exist in the Cosmos, not only involving "interstellar pirates" made up of various races but also some civilizations crazily plundering everywhere. The so-called "security service" was also born from this situation.

In such services, it’s usually hard to obtain specific data on "enemies," coupled with the need for confidentiality at times, so comparisons are made using other subjects with clearer information.

Therefore, Shen Shi directly taking the Worren Fleet from three thousand years ago as a subject doesn’t seem unusual.

"Mercenaries?" the store owner asked again.

"No, specific coordinates cannot be exposed," Shen Shi answered.

Shen Shi now knows that most interstellar security services are mercenary fleets!

Yes, although future humans aren’t allowed to have migration warships, it doesn’t mean there aren’t fleet legions. The most fundamental difference between the two is whether they can completely disconnect from supply points and be entirely self-sufficient.

Militarized fleets have strong military force while highly relying on supply lines.

This means such fleets can’t leave supply points, much less escape the control of the Mude System.

Worren Nomadic Fleet is like this, and so are Human Fleets.

Migrant ships are different.

They must have whole production systems to meet the long-term consumption needs of personnel on board; some medium and large migration warships can not only accommodate over a billion racial individuals but also have the conditions for further technological advancement, making it possible for a race or civilization to completely escape the Mude System.

Therefore, they are restricted.

After all, in the vast universe, no civilization, no existence can know everything, control everything.

Therefore, theoretically, he indeed has the possibility to survive with the Wogte, even if it’s just a small migration ship.

Of course, Shen Shi now wants more than just survival.

Unfortunately, he cannot hire future human legions to participate in the protection of Earth three thousand years ago.

It is impossible now, regardless of whether it could be done.

Time Crystal’s existence is something Shen Shi cannot let slip any secrets.

He only wants to trade weapons, equipment, or even warships.

But――

"..."

After Shen Shi refused to hire, the store owner fell silent.

Why?

Refusal to hire, reluctance to reveal the location, this should be the norm in the black market.

After all, if you really want to hire, you can completely follow official routes.

Shen Shi, in a state of anonymity, couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Based on the information obtained from the library, security services are not illegal services.

This also gives Shen Shi confidence in claiming to "give humanity a chance at victory."

From his perspective, the thriving security industry also implies that military development is not weak, so even merely trading some weapons or warships from the black market should offer a chance to resist invaders.

After all, human civilization three thousand years later has already reached D-level.

Although he isn’t sure what size gap this grade division entails, the threat brought by that C-level civilization to humanity suggests the gap shouldn’t be small.

Could he have underestimated the Worren Fleet’s strength and overestimated the black market’s ability?

Just as Shen Shi’s mood began to sink, the store owner finally spoke.

"This requires establishing a Planet Fortress, which takes time." His tone noticeably increased, "Also, the price will be very expensive! Extremely expensive!"

The translated voice even added a sentence in the end.

From this, it’s clear this is the reason for the opponent’s silence.

Shen Shi sighed in relief at this moment.

Expensive price?

Unless antiques aren’t valuable or the opponent doesn’t want them, otherwise, he really doesn’t need to worry about the price!

The only issue is the time.

"How long will the time take?" he asked.

"That depends on the size of the planet to defend."

"Fifteen thousand kilometers in diameter," Shen Shi responded.

The data units will automatically be replaced in translation, and the reported number is slightly larger than Blue Star’s size.

"..."

The store owner fell silent again.

In fact, the opponent no longer stood there like a statue but rotated his head, eyes hidden beneath the black battle armor pointed at Shen Shi’s location.

Then, he opened his lips and slowly said, "If you can produce trade goods that satisfy me, at the fastest, it’ll take just two years and three months."

Perhaps worried that Shen Shi couldn’t fully understand his meaning, he even released his emotions again.

It was importance, confidence, and strands of doubt.

Yes, doubt about whether Shen Shi could produce trade goods that satisfy him to complete this big transaction!

But at this moment, Shen Shi’s focus was captured by the "two years and three months" message.

The Worren Fleet’s speed is right here; the main fleet certainly won’t arrive until three years later.

The proposal put forth by the store owner requires two years and three months!

This means success!!

Shen Shi even felt a significant sense of joy!

Although he still doesn’t know what exactly a "Planet Fortress" refers to, this is clearly much better preparation than he initially imagined, such as buying weapons and equipment—he trusts the judgment of a professional. Since the other party says this plan can work, then it should work!

Shen Shi has realized that perhaps he wasn’t overestimating but rather underestimating the strength of future human civilization or underestimating the power brought by his ability to trade across three thousand years!

But no matter what, this transaction must be completed!

Complete it, and humanity can truly have a future that is altered!

Shen Shi said solemnly, "I will trade using Ancient Books!"

He fixed his gaze on the store owner, wanting to see the other’s reaction.

As expected――

The emotions transmitted by the store owner grew increasingly intense.

"What Ancient Books?" he asked.

Shen Shi didn’t hesitate, directly taking out the "script murder" outlines he’d stored in space from the store earlier.

He now knows that in the future, the most valuable antiques are those related to culture.

Whether it’s text, film, or even music.

This seemed to affect some achievement of a race in Primordial Energy.

Therefore, he was somewhat confident in attracting the other party.

Indeed, this proved to be the case.

When the projection of these outlines, which have yellowed over three thousand years, appeared, the seemingly very "cold" store owner actually came out from behind the counter.

Cautiously and meticulously inspecting these sheets.

The information on them was already protected and screened by terminals.

But the terminal also provided some introduction.

Such as completeness, proportion of clear text, and specific age.
