Chapter 259: Chapter 170: Opening the Store Was Indeed a Great Success

Although this market uses gold coins as a general equivalent, at the end of the day, it’s just a small market with merely tens of thousands of people.

If there is a sudden change, it may lead to the inability to use gold coins, or a significant devaluation.

Therefore, generally speaking, no one stores too many gold coins, because storing too much can also cause problems in the currency economy within the market. Thus, bartering supplemented with gold coin adjustments is also quite common.

This is precisely why.

Currently, there is a wide variety of devices in the dark bidding.

Among them, Primordial Energy Batteries and Cosmic Battleships are the most numerous.

The former is an extremely versatile resource, useful not only for warfare but also for daily use, and even for training in Primordial Energy, while the latter is because, for the market terminal owners, spaceships are the most abundant resource they own.

The market terminal comes with an immensely large personal storage space.

In interstellar settings, spaceships are both home and life.

Thus, almost everyone stores a considerable number of spaceships, warships, in their storage space, making them one of the most evidently demanded and common trading goods in the market.

Even the Collector, upon seeing the Sage Saint’s Manuscript for the first time, attempted to trade with a warship.

These two items also have significant benefits for Shen Shi.

However, there hasn’t been a warship stronger than the Iwen.

Converting this currency-wise, the Iwen is worth at least over a billion here; usually, a single antique cannot reach such a number unless it’s an entire set of books combined.

However, there were still quite a number of rather powerful warship components.

Shen Shi’s gaze slightly focused.

Because he saw a "Teleportation Shield" device.

Its technology level unexpectedly reached as high as C8!

This is indeed a good item.

Most nodes in the Mude System are monitored by corresponding C-level Civilizations. This allows them to collect fees from warships lacking Jump Engines by establishing jump channels, and also to monitor spaceships jumping through nodes, thereby strengthening control over various civilizations in the Star Domain. Both benefits and security are ensured.

However, for every spear, there is a shield.

The Teleportation Shield is a device specifically targeting node monitoring.

The Iwen is equipped with such a device, but it is not advanced. After all, while the entire Iwen is rated above C9, this does not mean that all the technology it carries reaches that level.

But with this gadget, it could be upgraded.

Moreover, most importantly—

Upon seeing this, Shen Shi already had a faint plan for his next steps.

So even when others offered higher bids, he didn’t hesitate much and directly allowed the transaction to go through the dark bidding.

Apart from some Primordial Energy Batteries and warship-related devices, Shen Shi also saw quite a few other devices.

Most of them are incredibly useful.

For example, a fully enclosed production line.

In the market, this seems to have become a relatively complete market segment. After all, against the backdrop of mass expansion, many seeking to establish themselves in new places inevitably need to swiftly set up production lines. Some even specifically design and encase various production lines to sell in the market.

Shen Shi even came across a fully automated III3 level liquid metal production factory.

Liquid metal is considered a rather important direction in material science in the interstellar context.

The feature of this metal is its strong energy absorption capability, widely used in various fields.

Building construction, warship armor, modified armor, Star System Fortress...

For lower-level Warren Battleships that are only E-level, the lowest-grade liquid metal can only be used for modification in the captain’s room and the Curvature Engine Room. Despite that, in previous wars, targeted bombardments using miniature Antimatter Bombs were required to breach it, highlighting the power of this liquid metal.

And this production factory handles everything from raw material processing to finished product output, all fully automated and encased.

One only needs to input the raw materials to continuously obtain high-grade liquid metal.

Completely foolproof operation.

This undoubtedly provides significant help for the development of modern civilizations.

However, a single production line seems insufficient.

Shen Shi thought for a while and decided to carefully research what devices he needed, then next time make a list to display in the shop, informing all customers that using devices listed on the board has a higher chance of passing.

Additionally, he could put up the devices needed to upgrade the Iwen.

If still unsuccessful, he would directly purchase using gold coins.

Judging by the current enthusiasm, it’s hard to imagine failing to accomplish this.

The shop indeed is a great harvest!

While selecting various devices, Shen Shi sighed.

In the following days, Shen Shi would take time each day to view the various items bid that day, select what he needed, and occasionally check the shop. He quickly discovered that the number of people visiting his shop was increasing daily.

Such a small shop saw traffic reaching over a thousand people.

Considering the whole market has only tens of thousands of people.
