Chapter 425: Chapter 253: The Long-Awaited Black Market Deal
In these past two hundred years, Shen Shi has thought more than once about the solution to the second future line.
But ultimately, he returned to the original problem.
And he has never found a way to break the stalemate.
Up until now.
Even though modern society has resolved the Daike Civilization issues, solving some difficulties for the third future line’s development, the ultimate result is still not enough to change the fate of the second future line.
After all, the second future line is currently sandwiched between ten civilizations at the top of the B-level.
If assessed by the Mude System’s technology level criteria, each one is a B9 level.
This is the growth achieved after a prolonged period of nurturing.
A mere B2, or even B3 civilization, even if it possesses a bit of "mystery" hidden behind, can hardly accomplish much in such a situation.
Shen Shi knows that the condition of the second future line is already in a dead end, and he must jump out of this timeline and return to the modern timeline, as well as the third future line, where changes are most likely to occur.
"According to the history of the third future line, the ’trade delegation’ sent by human civilization into the Mude System was, in the last thousand years, subjected to a comprehensive attack from most of the B-level civilizations within the Mude System. If the quality of this delegation could be enhanced, making it also reach B9 level, or at least appear as if it was sent by a B9 level civilization..." Shen Shi’s mind was racing; he felt as though he had caught onto something, and it was becoming increasingly clear.
That’s it, using high-level devices acquired through trades to disguise as a tiger preying on pigs; this is the most practical means to break the stalemate when lacking strength.
And currently, there are only two channels through which high-level devices can be obtained.
The Gus Land and these civilizations in front of him.
Attempting to trade under the identity of human civilization is basically impossible, because human civilization cannot display such strength, moreover, besides the present, human civilization in any future line has already exposed its presence and basic situation.
But what if a fictional identity is used?
Shen Shi stayed within the second future line but entered the trading market.
The trading market in the second future line is no longer solely for humans; a total of twelve civilizations are now concentrated here, including ten powerful B-level civilizations within the Mude System, also Gus Land.
In reality, there should be thirteen on the surface.
Another one is precisely the guise of human civilization from the third future line, which has continuously supplied copious B1 level warships to human civilization over the past two hundred years, even serving as an unknown civilization that acts as a final escape route for human civilization!
"So this is indeed a means to break the deadlock," Shen Shi frantically pondered in his mind.
Moreover, this method can’t be undertaken by anyone else, only Shen Shi can do it.
Because all those items from the third future line were traded to the second future line’s humans through Shen Shi.
He should give it a try.
Shen Shi was very clear that this was indeed the most hopeful method at present.
If successful, it would be the long-awaited black market trade.
He half-closed his eyes, then directly adopted a new identity.
Even though the trading market had undergone massive changes, only the terminals acquiring the devices changed, but not the rules; under the past rules, it’s easy for someone to re-enter the trading market with a brand new identity.
Simply blocking all friends would suffice.
Even looks can be easily changed.
Thus, at this time, Shen Shi had completely changed his appearance.
He exhibited a mechanized body from head to toe, but some of the devices on his body displayed external technology roughly reaching B2 level.
No choice.
The disguises currently available to him come only from the Mude System, Gus Land, and human civilization’s self-developed technology; only with human’s self-developed technology can a third-party disguise be ensured, naturally, its level isn’t very high.
Fortunately, he himself didn’t need too high a level of technological disguise.
Without many people noticing, Shen Shi, under a disguised identity, arrived at a shop that looked quite mystical from the outside.
Solely because the shop was entirely a tree, a Crystal Tree.
Clearly, it’s not a style of human civilization.
It hails from a civilization Shen Shi had become quite familiar with long ago — the Three-Day Civilization.
The very powerful B-level civilization renowned for Primordial Energy Technology within the Mude System.
The strongest Primordial Energy Device Shen Shi has used to date comes from this civilization.
Moreover, in this period, due to the Three-Day Civilization’s advances, Shen Shi has gleaned more information.
This is a civilization that has for the most part abandoned realistic development, focusing solely on Primordial Energy Technology; its entire mother star has already evolved into a Crystal Tree balanced between primordial energy and reality, which is possibly a powerful A-level civilization-level energy device.
And every Three-Day Person, in fact, exists within this tree they named "Three-Day" and doesn’t have a physical form. If needed, they can utilize a transit method to travel to and from various places in the shortest time, a form of Primordial Energy Teleportation Technology more advanced than the Jump Engine Technology.
