“If you, my esteemed customer, like this kind of transformation substance, it’s not like I can’t take it out,” the collector said at this moment. Even when he spoke, his gaze was still fixed on the pages.

He was not anonymous, and the confidence in his tone was simply overflowing.

“Ten tonnes!” said another customer slowly.

Instantly, the collector froze.

Shen Shi’s eyes lit up.

Ten tonnes of simulation transformation substance?

This simulation transformation substance could transform into all kinds of elements. It could even simulate living creatures. It was comparable to the 72 transformations in myths and legends.

However, there was something that could not be changed.

Quality.

In other words, a kilogram of simulation transformation substance could not turn into two kilograms of gold.

If it was only a kilogram, Shen Shi might only be able to transform it into a pistol or something.

But ten tonnes?

From tanks, planes, to lions, elephants, and even alien existences!

An item from 3,000 years later was no less magical and powerful than a legend if brought to the present society! If one could just take any simple item, not to mention a base desire to become rich, one could even rule the world!

However…

Shen Shi suddenly recalled the scene of the alien war three years later. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, and his stirred heart turned cold.

So what if he could rule the world? There were only three years left of humanity’s good days.

As for defeating the invaders… Thinking of the warship that covered the sky, Shen Shi’s heart turned even colder.

“Eleven tonnes!” The collector’s voice pulled the dazed Shen Shi back.

The bidding had begun.

The smile on the collector’s face had disappeared. The light in the group kept surging, vaguely revealing a sense of mystery.

However, the other customer was not afraid.

“Twelve tonnes!”

Although the collector had a special status, even the collector could not cross the platform and know his true identity!

“Thirteen tonnes!”

“Fourteen tonnes!”

Since it was a transaction for the simulation transformation substance, that customer was determined to obtain it.

“Some time ago, a Type-3 merchant ship from the Adelaide civilization was plundered by interstellar pirates. It was carrying 25 tonnes of the latest simulation transformation substance.” The collector stared intently at the other customer, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “I offer 24 tonnes. If you continue to increase the price, I’ll give up.”

Shen Shi’s heartbeat quickened.

Interstellar pirates?

The world 3,000 years later was probably more complicated than he had imagined!

However, compared to this, the 24-tonne figure was the main reason for his heart to beat faster!

No matter what the world was 3,000 years later, these people could not possibly return to 3,000 years ago to find him.

He was just a brutal antique seller. Everything else had nothing to do with him!

There was a long silence.

At the moment when even Shen Shi felt nervous,

“25 tonnes!”

The simultaneous translation of these words appeared in his ear.

“Congratulations.” The collector seemed to sigh, and the smile on his lips faded.

“You don’t have 24 tonnes at all!” The indignation in the other customer’s words could be felt even with the translation in the anonymity mode.

“There is always a price to pay for trying to snatch something from my hands, customer,” the collector said calmly.

His gaze fell on the pages again and his fingers touched them reluctantly.

It seemed that even if he had tricked his competitor, he was not very happy.

This was a person who really loved antiques.

Shen Shi was certain of this in his mind.

Even if he had been pretending, to be able to pretend to this extent meant that this would not change easily.

“Sir.” The other customer turned to Shen Shi. “Can we trade?”

Shen Shi could not understand what he was saying, but from the translation, he could already sense the other party’s respect for language.

This was the seller’s market.

“Sure,” he said briefly.

25 tonnes!

Considering an adult male to weigh 63 kilograms, 25 tonnes was enough to transform into 400 humans!

Moreover, the value of this transformation substance was far beyond just transforming into a creature, an element and so on.

Shen Shi was a student from a major university, so he was not stupid.

What would a substance that could transform into any element mean?

This meant that it was an omnipotent experimental apparatus!

If Edison had this back then, he would not have needed to experiment more than 7,000 times to invent the light bulb.

It was indeed a worthy future creation… Even if it had just an auxiliary role, it was enough to change the development of human technology.

Unfortunately…

Shen Shi thought of the alien invasion again, and his excitement was suppressed.

However, it was not without advantages. With this matter pressing in his heart, he did not have to worry about losing his balance after becoming rich because he could not float even if he wanted to.

Shen Shi was having fun in his misery.

The transaction process was very smooth. Everything was handed over to the platform. This black market trading terminal, which had come with the Time Diamond, was also a very magical treasure. Each terminal seemed to have an independent and huge space attached. All the items for trading were carried out directly in the space. Even the scanning and projection of the items for trading were carried out through this independent space.

The technology 3,000 years later was no less than a legend.

Anyway, a large pile of squirming black liquid appeared in Shen Shi’s space.

And that customer, after adding Shen Shi as a friend, left in a hurry.

Although he had traded for what he wanted, he had paid a heavy price and suffered heavy losses.

“Is there anything else, esteemed customer?” The collector looked at Shen Shi and asked in a friendly tone.

Shen Shi did not know if there was such a thing as a favor 3,000 years later, but in his opinion, he actually owed this collector a favor in the transaction just now. Without him, it would have been impossible for that book on the Art of War to be traded for such a high price.

Yes, he had already guessed the approximate price.

The first price the other customer had quoted in front of the collector was ten tonnes. It was probably the right price, or might even be a little higher.

With a reference point, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial to Shen Shi for his subsequent transactions.

Therefore, he said directly, “I want a cosmic warship that can survive in the universe for a long time!”

Yes, a cosmic warship!

This was what Shen Shi really wanted and must have!

If the alien invasion three years later was unavoidable, then there were only two options left, to defeat the invaders or to escape from the Blue Planet. Clearly, Shen Shi did not have any confidence in the former, and the latter was to prioritize protecting his life and that of his family.

He was already preparing to flee.

This was the decision he had made after watching the doomsday video.

Regardless of whether it was possible to change history or not, and regardless of the future of mankind, retreat was the most important guarantee!
