Chapter 478: Chapter 279: Attention from Three Parties_2
Communication between high-level life forms can be said to be extremely fast and convenient.
It’s all about the balance of information.
The other side has sent out such a figure, and if Shen Shi’s strength is insufficient, he might be influenced by charm. This charm, based on Primordial Energy and beginning with art, is much more practical than the so-called public relations techniques of Blue Star during the Earth Star Period, not to mention that she is a figure of real power, often invincible in trade.
But if Shen Shi’s strength exceeds their expectations.
Then the situation is just the opposite.
Because sending out such a person precisely represents the importance the Starlight Civilization attaches to the information Shen Shi holds.
Of course, the Starlight Empire also doesn’t lose.
Exceeding her strength, it’s not that simple.
"Okay." She straightforwardly agreed to Shen Shi’s price increase and bluntly said, "You are the representative of the third party, right?"
Having such strength, this possibility is infinitely magnified; paying a bit more just for this possibility doesn’t count as a loss.
Of course, Shen Shi also doesn’t lose.
Because he himself intends to expose the identity of the third party to facilitate more transactions.
"One by one, let’s complete parts of the transaction first." Shen Shi calmly transmitted his consciousness, then sent his additional request list to the other party, "How much time do you need? My intelligence is long ready."
"We have the Star System Transition Device here, but you need to wait for the backed-up device to migrate over before we can give it to you; it will take about thirty years." The other party said.
"Then that’s it." Shen Shi stood up, "You can try to track me, but if you don’t find anything, the next transaction will require an extra price."
After saying that, he directly turned and left.
From start to finish, he didn’t even ask for the name code of this Starlight person.
It can be said that although no emotion was leaked, the arrogance and confidence were already expressed to the fullest.
However, not long after leaving, he noticed the traces of the Starlight Civilization’s investigation.
Not only investigating him but also deeply investigating all surrounding spaces.
Trying to find the way he arrived here.
However, to Shen Shi, who masters time and comes here alone, such investigations clearly have no effect.
Oh, no kidding.
It’s possible to determine that Shen Shi is from the mysterious third party.
"It seems that in the next transaction, I can ask for some good stuff." Shen Shi was not displeased, but rather somewhat pleased.
In most cases, high-level confrontations are straightforwardly brutal like this.
It’s basically mutual probing of intelligence; all actions are based on information and strength.
Thinking of the numerous devices about to be in hand, Shen Shi was quite satisfied.
For weak civilizations, the most precious thing from an A-level Civilization is not the devices but rather the technology, something that even eighteen B9-level Civilizations would go crazy developing. However, for human civilization, this difficult part can be easily obtained from the second future line, and it’s proactively offered by the Starlight Civilization, backed up as much as possible by Shen Shi’s permissions.
Conversely, devices are not easy to obtain.
After all, information can be backed up with permissions directly, even without anyone knowing, but devices require reasons that can convince the highest council, which surprisingly can be harvested in the frontline battlefield of the third future line.
Especially with the Star System Migration Device, having this grants human civilization in the first future line an ultimate retreat.
In fact, realizing that A-level Civilizations like the Starlight Civilization are no longer hiding their forms, the situation in the first future line is already quite extreme because the form of A-level Civilizations will surely be known by the Es Civilization. Once the Es Civilization focuses on human civilization, on the first future line, human civilization will fall into a precarious situation.
"As for the remaining devices, bringing them into the main world line should again produce a positive impact on the third future line’s timeline change, only I still need more..." Shen Shi thought in his heart.
While he was contemplating what intelligence to use in the next transaction to exchange resources from the Starlight Civilization, a storm had already arisen on this planet and even throughout the entire Fixed Star System.
Investigations from the A-level Civilization have delved into every corner.
Including this planet.
But they found nothing.
Even the Es person who had previously appeared to say they wanted to trade has completely vanished as if never appearing.
This point of high-level attention cannot be small!
"Determined that no traces of space transition were found, not even curvature changes."
"The whole planet has been fully scanned thirteen times, still no discoveries."
"The opponent used a fake identity and appearance; we’ve discovered the original host, but nothing was found in the opponent’s consciousness world either."
"Such hiding technology, Primordial Energy technology, is somewhat beyond our understanding; with a probability of over 99.78%, unknown relic devices were used, with less than a ten-thousandth probability, the opponent possesses technology corresponding beyond ours."
"Even using a relic device, the threat level is still extremely high."
"We must enter the highest alert state; too many unknown factors, and the probability of any terrible situation occurring is significantly increasing..."
Just as Shen Shi previously recognized, this is the frontline within a war, saying it is pivotal is no exaggeration; it simply cannot, by the surface, seem so relaxed, even a black market exists.
Only those stationed by the Starlight Civilization at high levels know how tight their defense line is.
Even detector devices hidden in Phase Space has been spread throughout the entire Fixed Star System.
Ensuring nothing within this range can exceed their detection.
But even doing this much, such an occurrence still happened.
What does this mean?
No matter what relic device is used, regardless of whether they really possess such overwhelming technological strength, the opponent has proven their absolute strength in this field, which also means if the opponent sides with the Thousand Alliance, there is a high probability they could lead the Thousand Alliance to break through their base’s defense, perhaps taking this as a breakthrough point and upset the balance of the galaxy war.
After calculating the probability of this possibility, every high-level present felt quite gloomy.
The downside of the third party can be said to be clearly exhibited.
"Is it possible to contact the Thousand Alliance, deal with this third party first?" Someone proposed this idea.
"It’s hard to achieve consistent benefits." Others refuted, "The Thousand Alliance also needs the third party; their benefits from allying with the third party are larger than allying with us; besides, we still don’t fully understand the third party’s situation, the complexity of the interest relationship has already surpassed conventional computing values."
"So, what we can do is to gather more intelligence information."
"It’s necessary to continue trading, even giving up some benefits, as long as obtaining more intelligence is advantageous."
"..."
Ultimately, it’s advanced civilization, not to appear without any means; it’s merely a choice, once made, everything becomes simpler in the following.
Shen Shi, on the other hand, did not have early expectations.
He and human civilization’s stance had long been solid on the fishing terrace, regardless of what choice the opponent ultimately makes, he could easily adapt to gain the maximum benefit.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a reason to relentlessly enhance strength and travel all the way here.
Thus, Shen Shi merely hid and waited for several years, what he needed was completely transported here.
However, the place where the devices were placed had clearly undergone layer upon layer of special treatment.
Information is the hardest to acquire, and the easiest to acquire, the prerequisite for easy acquisition lies in contact!
