CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 182: 1 USED TO OTHERS BEGGING ME_2

Then he spoke casually.

Even if it’s not, it doesn’t matter.

However...

It can actually split into three Consciousness Residues.

Really strong.

According to Gong Chu’s initial statement, he could split into four before becoming a Master of Primordial Energy. So, does that mean this woman is almost there as well?

But there are more than a hundred Masters of Primordial Energy in this Future World’s human race, so Shen Shi wasn’t too surprised.

"Since there’s no fate, let’s start talking business." Shen Shi asked lightly, "What do you want?"

"Your store’s treasure."

"Impossible." Shen Shi remained indifferent.

"Now it is the Antique Dealer who is eyeing this set of equipment from me." Zhou Sisi still smiled.

"But I am not at the point of must-have either."

"Then it will be very difficult, because I don’t have any antiques I want."

"No, you do." Shen Shi replied confidently.

"I don’t."

"You want to separate from the clan."

"..." Zhou Sisi’s expression visibly froze for a moment.

So, Shen Shi actually preferred to communicate with people from this Future Line.

Because when not controlled, they are not much different from modern humans.

Expressions, actions, words and deeds...

This is heritage.

Even if ancient people come to the future, there will be various discomforts, but looking at the people around them, they can clearly see that these are humans, not some demons or monsters.

The humans of Future Line One, apart from their own human identity recognition, sometimes when they speak, seem not much different from talking to Aliens.

They can only be understood through Primordial Energy.

"Originally, I wanted to cover it up a bit." Zhou Sisi sighed a bit, after all she did not refuse, "You’re right, I do want to separate from the clan, and to separate, I need a family heirloom that’s persuasive enough—only such an heirloom can ensure that after separating, I still belong to the Zhou Clan, belonging to the human upper class."

Shen Shi remained non-committal.

The reason he made such an inference is partly because of this equipment in front of him.

Obviously, this equipment is more effective for those whose Primordial Energy is not strong enough. It’s an equipment that accelerates cultivation, and Zhou Sisi thinks it’s no longer useful enough for her, which is why she’s put it up in the store. Either she has something better, or this wasn’t given to her when she needed it.

People like this clearly do not have a high status within the Clans.

Of course, this logic is not rigorous.

But then again, it doesn’t matter if you’re wrong, at worst you just trade for something else. Since Shen Shi came to the Future World to trade, people have always sought him out, except for the time he helped Gong Chu break through, he has never made a losing deal.

And that time he just wanted to help the human civilization on Future Line One through a difficult time.

So he is somewhat proud in his heart.

As long as the value of the antique remains, it should be you seeking me, not the other way around.

"What do you want?" Shen Shi asked again.

"A Holy Relic, one with the writing of a Sage Saint." Zhou Sisi didn’t hesitate either, she smiled, "Now, only the Antique Dealer and the Collector can satisfy this requirement in the entire market."

"Why didn’t you come to the store to find me?" Shen Shi glanced at her.

"Because I didn’t know you needed this equipment." Zhou Sisi shook her head gently, "Separating requires a lot of preparation, I am currently quite strained financially, and haven’t prepared for a major expenditure. Yet, antique business, especially for such prized antiques, always requires a huge expense. Not to mention, if it’s a Holy Relic with the writing of a Sage Saint, the Collector will definitely make a move."

Shen Shi nodded.

The logic made sense.

Another reason he’s confident is because he can directly engage with the Collector. In Gus Land, there must be what he needs, but unfortunately, the Collector is currently eyeing his store’s treasure, so it won’t be that easy.

However, after pondering for a moment, he continued, "I also need a large number of devices for training ordinary intelligent life. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Carbon-based life forms?" she asked.

"Of course." Shen Shi nodded.

He knew that the Cosmos contained not only carbon-based life forms, but carbon-based ones are undoubtedly the most numerous type of life.

"Then I recommend this ’Sleep Training Device’." Zhou Sisi raised her hand lightly, a crystal sphere appeared in front, and she chuckled, "This device can assist people in constructing a shallow dream world, although it is only shallow, it has powerful auxiliary effects. The technical level is C7, and it can be mass-produced. Most importantly, it can greatly reduce fatigue from training, allowing for extended training periods, possibly lasting several months. Coupled with its efficiency, it can increase speed by at least tenfold. However, a single unit costs ten thousand Gold Coins."

"Too expensive." Shen Shi said.

He actually knew when he heard C7 that this thing wouldn’t be bad.

When he heard tenfold, he was quite tempted.

Because this is precisely what he needs.

The situation in the modern world requires not a nationwide training of Primordial Energy, but selecting some gifted individuals from all humanity, fully supporting these people to reach a usable stage.

So efficiency is key.

In terms of pure training efficiency of Primordial Energy, a C7 specializing in this should definitely be better than his Life Purification Device.

"Then, I’ll include some other auxiliary tools, all above C5." Zhou Sisi raised her hand again, and a large number of various things appeared around them.

There seemed to be items like potions, instruments, and even production lines.

Shen Shi furrowed his brows slightly, deep in thought.

"I only want Gold Coins!" Zhou Sisi emphasized.

"Deal, let’s just say we’re making a friend." Shen Shi’s brows smoothed out.

"To become friends with the famous Antique Dealer is truly my honor." Zhou Sisi didn’t hide her sigh of relief, a smile crept into her eyes, and the emotions she exuded suddenly became warm, "Just call me Sisi, Antique Dealer. Have you decided on what Holy Relic to use for the trade?"

She genuinely looked like a girl-next-door.

The humans from a Future Line are indeed the humans from a Future Line.

The reason he suggested making a friend is naturally not because she is beautiful, in fact, within the market, regardless of gender, there’s no one unattractive, only aesthetic preference.

Shen Shi just suddenly thought that since she wanted to separate from the clan, it means she has to go somewhere to start over.

This bears some resemblance to the situation for modern humans.

But as the heir of the Zhou Clan, her preparations must be thorough.

There would probably be many instances where communication is needed in the future.

So, Shen Shi indeed thought about it carefully for a while.

Honestly, he bought a lot of books during his university days, especially after opening a script-killing shop, he couldn’t even count the number of scripted murders he’s read and annotated, there are at least several hundred.

However, those are definitely useless.

Because humans from the Future World already know that this period’s Shen Shi is not the real Shen Shi.

And before that, there are only some textbooks and maybe comic magazines or such things left.

But these, their inherent value is not as high as something like "Journey to the West," and not from the key and obscure time just before Shen Shi "left," hence they might not meet the requirements either.

Because Zhou Sisi now needs quality, not quantity.

It seems, there are no better options.

Shen Shi squinted his eyes slightly.

"You really cornered me." Shen Shi said, "I think the most suitable Holy Relic for you is one of the four greatest classical novels, but unfortunately, they’ve all been traded away by the Collector."

"I lamented for a long time that day too." Zhou Sisi similarly expressed regret.
