Chapter 234: Chapter 157: Fierce Trading Bidding_2

However, after his gaze brushed past the waist of this boss, Shen Shi’s heart also tightened slightly.

He had seen a pendant.

And this pendant was clearly marked with the insignia of the Dongfeng Corps!

Indeed, as the new commander of the Dongfeng Corps, he couldn’t mistake it.

This shape was identical to the insignia of the Dongfeng Corps from the number one future timeline, without the slightest change!

Could it be that even in this future timeline, which has become utterly different, there exists a Dongfeng Corps?

What about Gong Chu?

Does Gong Chu also exist here?

Thinking carefully, this is entirely possible!

The world is interconnected!

Back in the number one world line, he had pushed humanity from the ordinary D-level to the C-level, causing an upheaval of enormous change, yet Gong Chu remained Gong Chu, the collector unchanged as well, aside from certain growths in strength, everything else remained the same, leading one to consider the world’s interconnectedness.

If so, then here, is there perhaps a Gong Chu and even a collector who don’t recognize me?

Shen Shi engraved this suspicion in his mind, his gaze toward this boss slightly altered.

If there is such a person in the number one future timeline, then this person might be one of my subordinates.

Boss Zhou certainly wouldn’t miss the subtle change in Shen Shi’s gaze, although its meaning remained unclear, but he noted that this change came after Shen Shi saw the pendant on his waist.

Could it be...

Boss Zhou clearly thought of something, pondered for a moment, and simply smiled broadly, saying, "Respected guest, might you have some connection with our Dongfeng Corps? Do you know any colleagues whom I might connect with?"

"A transaction is just a transaction, pulling connections doesn’t work for me," Shen Shi smiled.

"That’s truly a pity." Boss Zhou sighed, looking visibly disappointed.

Shen Shi could clearly see that this was his intentionally displayed demeanor, but expressing such unreserved attention to the transaction item is detrimental to himself, unless the importance of this transaction item cannot be suppressed at all.

Perhaps he has underestimated the value of his Jade Pendant in the Future World.

At this moment, Boss Zhou’s gaze also landed upon the Jade Pendant on the table.

"Is this the Jade Pendant used by the Sage Saint?" He slowly walked over, cautiously picking up the projection of the Jade Pendant, holding it before his eyes and examining it meticulously while murmuring in amazement, "This is a secret known to only a few; the Sage Saint has always had the habit of wearing the Guanyin Jade. The first Jade Pendant was gifted by his deceased father, of modest value yet imbued with deep emotional significance, which is why the Sage Saint later only wore similar Nephrite Jade, as a form of solace."

Shen Shi: "..."

No, it was because he was broke.

Before he was successful, he changed his Jade several times, and after he became successful, he never changed it, so naturally, these worn pieces of Jade aren’t very valuable.

Wait, did he never change to better Jade even afterwards?

Suddenly, Shen Shi had a thought; if he went back and commissioned a block of ice jade to be carved by a renowned sculptor, perhaps upon return he might be rewarded by the consciousness residue brought about by future transformation?

Hmm, worth a try.

Shen Shi had realized his influence in this Future World; his every move would be magnified by future generations.

Meanwhile, Boss Zhou’s gaze grew ever more entranced.

"Just the thought that this is the Jade Pendant once used by the Sage Saint makes me feel as if I’m gazing across three thousand years at the great Sage Saint of the Earth Star Era." His body even began to tremble slightly, "This is the charm of antiques, they are imbued with endless years and historical significance; a mere Jade Pendant can forge a consciousness connection between me and the Sage Saint, allowing me to feel the power of the Sage Saint."

Shen Shi: "..."

He could understand this sentiment.

When he had once visited the Terracotta Warriors, he too felt as if he had leapt three thousand years into the past, as if from every mark on the Terracotta Warriors he could see the craftsman from three thousand years ago sculpting.

But he still felt that Boss Zhou’s undisguised emotion seemed somewhat exaggerated.

Perhaps...related to Primordial Energy?

Shen Shi easily thought of this.

He had long known that the transmission of historical culture is greatly related to the advancement of a Master of Primordial Energy, but he never knew what this specifically entailed, nor did he know the differences between various transmissions.

Because he hasn’t reached the level to understand these yet.

But at least he knows this for now.

Antiques still have high value in this world.

"I intend to trade this Jade Pendant," Shen Shi said.

"Do you truly intend to trade it?" Boss Zhou shivered, seemingly snapped back to reality, unable to conceal his nervousness and excitement.

"As long as you can offer a price that satisfies me." Shen Shi nodded.

This Jade Pendant had been worn by him for two years.

While it isn’t devoid of emotion, that’s about it.

Just as well to see how much value it holds in this Future World.

If it truly is high...

Go back and make ten or eight pieces to keep around.

"Rest assured!" Boss Zhou’s expression turned serious, "I will certainly offer a price that satisfies you!"

"You won’t be able to produce it." A voice suddenly arrived from outside.

Boss Zhou’s expression changed immediately but returned to normal in an instant.

Shen Shi knew that he was suppressing his emotions with Primordial Energy.

He looked at the people who had just entered the store.

My goodness, all dressed in shopkeeper garments!

"Old Li, interfering with transactions from other shops goes against the rules." Old Zhou said expressionlessly.

Old Li?

Peggy’s ears twitched, seeing that the man walking in front of them appeared to be in his thirties or forties, with a calm demeanor and extraordinary aura, was shocked.

She had already identified him.

Indeed, it’s someone from the Main Family!

And not just anyone, but the famous Governor of the Main Family, who oversees an entire domain!

Peggy opened her mouth but held back under the influence of Primordial Energy; she was clearly aware that such a scenario was far beyond her ability to speak up, as the interests and forces involved had already surpassed the scope she could intervene in.

Staying here alone was beyond beneficial.

Among the greatest benefits was perhaps gaining a spot as Mr. Ze Ren’s friend!

Truly...

The Holy Land indeed holds opportunities everywhere, Grandpa wasn’t deceiving me!

Shen Shi paid no attention to Peggy’s excitement; his focus was also drawn by these people.

Clearly.

The news had leaked out.

So, is this a bidding war?

"If it were just me interfering with the transaction, that indeed would go against the rules, but, when a group of us comes, then those rules no longer count." The man known as Old Li said with a faint smile, which quickly turned enthusiastic since his gaze had already landed on Shen Shi, "Esteemed guest, please rest assured, the treasure you’ve presented deserves to be bid upon by all antique dealers together, this is the real way to obtain a satisfying price."

Shen Shi glanced at Old Zhou and smiled, "As long as none of you have a problem, I won’t object."

And Old Zhou’s mood had already sunk entirely.

Judging by appearances, they knew what the transaction item was.

He turned his head, abruptly looking at Xiaoxi.

"Xiaoxi," Old Zhou squinted slightly, "I have treated you well."

"Of course." Xiaoxi maintained a friendly smile, but sighed softly, "Yet what Boss Li offered was far too much, more than enough to work under you for two hundred years, besides, you truly can’t control this Jade Pendant."
