Chapter 483: Chapter 282: The Temptation of the Pasture Master
After realizing this possibility, Shen Shi didn’t feel worried; instead, there was a vague sense of anticipation.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
In this interstellar society where intelligence and information have become particularly prominent, human civilization still has pitifully little information about the Pasture Master. This undoubtedly increases anxiety and imposes significant limitations on future actions. However, if it is possible to obtain intelligence information related to the Pasture Master in such a variable future line, it would undoubtedly be extremely important.
In Shen Shi’s view, this might even be more important than looting some more devices in this war.
However, since such a possibility had been realized, preparations needed to be made in advance.
"Designate the Mude System’s base as a core observation area, and increase personnel transfers from the Mother Star, especially those with personal terminals..." Shen Shi continuously issued one order after another.
Overall, it’s about increasing investment, especially in the area of exploration.
Although it is uncertain how much effect it can have, as long as it can have an effect, even if all these devices are folded here, or even if there are heavy personnel losses, it would still be worth it.
It is precisely because Shen Shi held a not low position in the No. 3 future line that such orders were not easy to issue. But regardless, Shen Shi’s will was still clearly and incisively carried out.
Once everything was ready, what followed was waiting.
Shen Shi also did not forget himself.
He even once again concealed himself within the base of the Mude System, even taking on the identity of a person with a not low status.
The person was the general manager of a military base, named Yu Si, a Luo’er person, known for having the best individual combat ability among the eighteen B9-level civilizations.
This civilization is obsessed with transforming itself militarily. Their Life Evolution Device is first-class among all the B9-level civilizations, and so is individual transformation, making it relatively easier to disguise. Shen Shi could completely wrap himself with various devices, plus his Primordial Energy capability, making it impossible even for people from an A-level civilization to probe inside him.
And at this moment, in such an identity, Shen Shi could clearly feel the confidence conveyed from the high levels of the Mude System.
Obviously, the current situation is that the Thousand Alliance has ample confidence, and the Mude System likewise has ample confidence.
"It seems that the Pasture Master is indeed coming." Shen Shi whispered in his heart; otherwise, he couldn’t imagine where this confidence was coming from.
While he was keeping a close watch, a message suddenly came from the upper levels.
It was not a message of attack or other combat preparation, but rather a retreat.
Yes, a full retreat.
This couldn’t help but make Shen Shi think, as if other battlefields also transmitted news, whenever the Pasture Master made a move, even people from the Mude System themselves could not watch excessively, let alone the enemy who would strive to annihilate all.
"This should be to prevent his information from leaking out, but even needing to guard against his own people; such a leader..." Shen Shi, while processing the troop orders according to the commands, analyzed the current situation.
He realized that it wasn’t just here that had received the order to retreat, but many other places quite far apart had also received the same.
Obviously, even the fact of where the Pasture Master will make his move, he doesn’t want to divulge.
Yet, this cautious posture instead gave Shen Shi a special feeling.
"Too cautious." He recalled all the information about this Pasture Master, which basically highlighted how powerful he was.
For example, personally leading and resolving the Child of the Earth civilization, or pressuring the three major A-level civilizations, and even the mysterious history when the Mude System was just established, vaguely highlighted the strength of the Pasture Master—one person changed the war situation between the three major A-level civilizations, even integrating them all into the Mude System he led and built.
Why would such an overwhelmingly powerful person, one who seems unmatched in the entire cosmos, be so vigilant and concerned about others knowing some basic facts about him?
This vigilance obviously does not match his strength.
Shen Shi could easily think of many possibilities.
For instance, the Pasture Master does not want to expose himself, or maybe the Pasture Master’s actions will reveal some of his back cards, or even some weaknesses.
"The more this is the case, the more it piques one’s interest." Shen Shi slightly squinted his eyes.
Ordinary people might not be able to determine at which battlefield the Pasture Master will appear, but Shen Shi is different. Through the Holy Land, he can completely disregard the influence of distance to some extent. As long as he arranges people equipped with the Holy Land personal terminal at every potential location, he can receive intelligence information at the first instance and rush over at the first moment.
Just like that, while Shen Shi was making preparations, due to this stage of retreat by the Mude System, the Thousand Alliance pressed forward once more without reservation.
The atmosphere across the battlefield grew increasingly tense.
Especially from Shen Shi’s perspective, this vast Star Domain at this moment seemed like a powder keg fully prepared, ready to explode at any small change.
