Chapter 258: Chapter 169: The Treasure of an Entire Civilization_2

"At the moment, there’s nothing I’m particularly interested in," Shen Shi said in an undeniable tone, "so this sheet of paper, I will not be trading it."

This sheet of paper was not originally meant for any trade, but rather intended to serve as a store’s treasure.

It was used to establish his position in the entire market.

Naturally, it was also meant to attract the eyes of collectors, as well as more "big figures" along this future line.

Anyway, his appearance was fake, and no one could possibly find him.

But this was truly a misery for the collectors.

The collector felt Shen Shi’s determination, then turned back to look obsessively at that sheet of paper, with a bitterness in his heart that was almost indescribable.

"Dear Antique Dealer, please understand," he said with a bitter expression, "to have a treasure before oneself yet unable to obtain it, it feels like a thousand ants gnawing at one’s heart, an extreme pain!"

"That’s exaggerated," Shen Shi shook his head.

This was naturally an exaggerated statement, the will of a Master of Primordial Energy was not so fragile, and the emotion the collector now showcased was merely because he hadn’t suppressed it.

Nevertheless—

This one sheet of paper can actually be traded for a B3 Level warship.

One can only say that the mysterious allure of "Time Delirium" was indeed extremely successful.

Fortunately, this book truly aids in the training of universal primordial energy, making great contributions to the development of primordial energy technology for human civilization in the future; otherwise, Shen Shi would feel somewhat ashamed.

After all, within this book, one could not possibly find any secrets.

Probably not...

Well, Shen Shi could only be sure that, compared with real time information, the content on it was vastly different, yet time itself was too enigmatic, at least, even he did not understand why this book could aid in the training of primordial energy.

In any case—

Just by observing the collector’s behavior, Shen Shi also knew that his shop’s reputation was established!

Looking at the collector who remained mesmerized by that sheet of paper, Shen Shi thought for a while and still said: "Collector, you don’t need to be disheartened, this is currently a non-sale item, but that doesn’t mean it will always be a non-sale item. When I have a need, or find a better treasure for the shop, you, still have the chance to obtain it."

"Really!" The collector’s eyes lit up, staring at Shen Shi.

"Of course." Shen Shi smiled lightly, "I am an antique dealer, not a collector."

"Indeed so!" The collector nodded repeatedly, having no semblance of a figure of importance, and even eagerly said to Shen Shi, "Sir doesn’t need to refer to me as ’dear’; just call me ’Gong Mo’ or ’collector’."

"Alright." Shen Shi said completely unceremoniously.

The collector from Future Line One was actually subordinate to him, while the collector from this future line is merely more handsome in appearance, more powerful in strength, wealthier in riches... But in essence, he is still the collector who loves history and heritage more than anything, thus Shen Shi naturally feels no awe.

Not to mention, Shen Shi’s true identity is the Sage Saint on this future line!

However, others do not know this point.

To them at this moment, merely by virtue of this treasure, the shop owner even faintly has a higher posture than the collector!

This is truly unimaginable!

Just don’t know, whether the Collector is considering the fact that this treasure hasn’t been obtained yet, or...

"If sir has any request, no matter big or small, feel free to instruct Yunxi," suddenly everyone heard the solemn voice of the Collector, "If Yunxi can’t resolve it, I will personally resolve it, no matter what the request!"

"..."

Goodness gracious!

In everyone’s heart, a breath was taken.

Just by virtue of these words, the shop owner instantly became one of the most prestigious, powerful, and influential entities within human civilization!

"Dear Antique Dealer," truly has appeared!

From now on, as long as the words ’antique dealer’ are mentioned without further specification, this predetermined persona refers to the person before them.

Just like the words ’collector’!

"Rest assured, absolutely," Shen Shi smiled.

He naturally understood that the collector’s words didn’t mean he would follow orders, but rather meant he could assist Shen Shi in a series of matters, yet in return, if something requires great effort, Shen Shi must present finer antiques.

This is a kind of transaction.

Being one of the strongest individuals in human civilization, whether Gong Chu, the collector, are not inclined to trade casually themselves, nor brands the primordial energy steel seal on anyone.

In the first future line, Shen Shi managed to earn the allegiance of the two by positioning as the hope of human civilization, alongside its severed heritage.

Regarding this future line.

To have obtained such a commitment from the collector is already a considerable gain.

After all, even though Gus Land remains Gus Land, some things are not obtainable by the collector from Future Line One.

"I’ll go check out the other treasures." The collector took one last reluctant yet obsessed glance at the Sage Saint’s Manuscript, eventually contained his emotions, turned around, and returned to the spot he had just left, inspecting one antique after another, connecting with bids, evidently in a spree of acquisition.

It was not until this moment, that some people gradually completed their transactions or placed bids before leaving the shop, all exclaiming it was not a wasted trip.

Not only did they witness so many treasures! They also witnessed the collector’s fervor firsthand! Even witnessed the glorious rise of a magnate!

And those still remaining in the shop, whether ordinary passerby or fellow antique dealers, are all entirely changed in their attitude towards Shen Shi, exuding a respectful aura, especially Yunxi, from the looks of Yunxi, seemed almost treating Shen Shi like a collector.

But they did not gather around to disturb.

Only Boss Zhou, relying on the fact that he helped Shen Shi a bit last time, walked up with a broad smile, cupped his hands and softly said: "Congratulations to dear Antique Dealer, now we too have the industry leader, truly delightful indeed."

"Rest assured, for quite a long time, dealing will remain my main focus," Shen Shi immediately realized he was representing other antique dealers to probe, so he just shook his head and said, "You can also participate in all the dark bidding auctions in the shop, my existence, should benefit your acquisition of antiques."

Though antiques have meanings beyond collection, any product, so long as its quantity increases, its price will inevitably decrease.

From this point forward, these antique dealers will have lower acquisition prices.

This indeed is beneficial to them.

After all, they acquire antiques not for collection, but primarily for the development of their own clans.

The vast starry sky bounded by expanding frontiers and regions also changes the internal forces’ development mode.

Expansion, dispersal, migration, becoming an eternal theme.

This further accentuates the value of antiques, highlights the status of culture.

After all, when people come to star domains far from home, amidst long-lasting time and great distances, the only thing preventing themselves from being lost self or becoming roaming nomadic tribes away from home, is culture, and the only thing verifying the existence of culture and homeland, are antiques.

This is the foundation of human civilization regardless of expansion, regardless of development, they remain human civilization’s roots.

So the Boss Zhou before him, and even the other antique dealers not far away, all have a broad smile and are increasingly respectful, even a bit grateful upon hearing Shen Shi’s words.

In this era, those who can present so many antiques are truly great benefactors.

"Dear Antique Dealer’s words are extremely true!" Boss Zhou respectfully greeted, eagerly smiling, "Then I won’t disturb dear Antique Dealer, I’ll also prepare to spend everything to buy some good stuff, hope dear Antique Dealer could kindly consider."

Shen Shi nodded.

He then said no more.

He sat in the shop owner’s exclusive spot behind the counter, intending to take a look at what these visitors presented for auction.
