Chapter 219: Chapter 150: Powerful Black Market Terminal

Although this was merely Shen Shi’s excuse to cover for the existence of the Time Crystal, it is indeed impressive that in a future where the Daike People have completely sealed and destroyed everything from more than two thousand years ago, someone can still speculate the "truth" within.

However, Shen Shi never expected that this excuse would actually have a day to be used in the Future World.

"I can’t tell you more," Shen Shi said. "You just need to know that the location of our Shen Clan must never be leaked. I can’t be sure if the Daike People have told some of the events from back then to more powerful civilizations, like the Es Civilization... So, you should understand what I mean."

"Yes, I understand." The Collector indeed understood.

Previously, he thought that the reason why Shen Shi did not let Gong Chu send the Dongfeng Corps over was that his own strength was weak and he was worried that someone within the Dongfeng Corps might not recognize their new commander.

They might even threaten the safety of the Clan Leader himself.

But now he knew there was indeed such a reason.

As expected—!

How could the Shen Clan, who repeatedly created miracles and still managed to hide for thousands of years under the full search efforts of the Daike Civilization, be anything but extraordinary?

And after calming his mood, the Collector also understood Shen Shi’s concerns.

"Clan Leader, you really don’t have to worry that such a warship would leak secrets," the Collector said softly. "This type of race is inherently used for transactions and is quite prevalent among many civilizations, including those more powerful than Gus Land. Furthermore, the culture, cognition, and will within the race are all centered on the captain, strengthened further by the Primordial Energy Steel Seal for absolute command, eliminating any possibility of rebellion. The most important thing is—I will write all of this into the transaction, and let the black market terminal conduct a review."

While Shen Shi listened to the many reasons stated earlier, he was still somewhat worried, but upon hearing the last sentence, his heart slightly tensed.

"The black market terminal can conduct such detailed reviews?" Shen Shi asked.

"The black market terminal is too mysterious and powerful. Even though we’ve had it for hundreds of years, we still haven’t seen it fully," the Collector explained to Shen Shi, as he wasn’t too familiar with the black market terminal and thus wasn’t surprised. He just smiled and said, "Its guarantee of transactions alone is quite substantial, so the only discrepancy here is in the value of the trade items, not in their authenticity. Anything brought out will be audited to ensure they match the transaction content, the Primordial Energy Steel Seal I engraved earlier is the same."

Shen Shi remembered when Gong Chu and the Collector had engraving the Steel Seal before, and he couldn’t help but nod.

It does seem to be the case.

He wasn’t entirely ignorant about the Primordial Energy Steel Seal, knowing it was a permanent reinforcement of a certain idea. If others forcibly engraved it, no matter how perfect, there would inevitably be some flaws, or it could be covered by a stronger Primordial Energy Steel Seal. However, if engraved by oneself voluntarily, the effect was almost ingrained in self-awareness, allowing no possibility of change.

If the black market terminal conducts reviews, then can it... be worth trying?

Shen Shi did not consider what would happen if someone took this warship and deeply probed his consciousness and memory because this wasn’t like other objects; this was a warship. If even his warship was seized in the Cosmos, capturing him would be extremely easy.

Of course, the most important thing is—

The war is already just around the corner.

Moreover... in the vast Cosmos, a race with no association with Human Civilization, or even with civilizations outside Gus Land, will not know that he actually comes from three thousand years ago anytime soon.

While constantly pondering, Shen Shi had already made up his mind.

"If that’s the case, let the black market terminal conduct the review."

"Certainly." The Collector gave a slight bow.

He also let out a sigh of relief. From his perspective, the Clan Leader’s worries came from lack of understanding.

However, this attitude also indicated how frightening that secret was.

He wondered when he might earn the Clan Leader’s trust sufficiently to know that secret?

A ray of anticipation surfaced in the Collector’s heart, but he knew that it was still far from that stage.

So, he immediately initiated the transaction.

And Shen Shi also submitted the application for the transaction review to the black market terminal.

The answer came quickly.

"The relevant descriptions of the ’Absolute Command Primordial Energy Steel Seal’ require actual Primordial Energy Steel Seal engraving to be audited and confirmed. The rest match the descriptions. Do you wish to commence initiation and engraving?"

Shen Shi looked at this piece of text and had to admit that his understanding of the black market was still too limited.

There indeed was such a review.

If devices from some advanced civilizations could conduct such reviews, doesn’t this mean the black market terminal could easily comprehend the technology of those civilizations?

This thing... is indeed worthy of being integrated with the Time Crystal.

The level probably surpasses imagination.

"Confirm engraving, with me as the captain," Shen Shi stated again.

"Confirmation received, activating and starting up."

"Engraving in progress."

"Engraving complete, returning to dormancy."
