It's no wonder Shen Shi has such worries.
In the previous future line, he was able to rely on some ubiquitous books in modern society to trade space battleships, planet fortresses, and even gain two subordinates, Gongchu and Collector, and obtain their maximum The limited obedience and support is largely due to the fact that human civilization in that future line has lost its own culture.
The inheritance of culture and history is related to whether one can become a master of original energy.
That’s why antiques have such value.
But if the cultural heritage is not cut off, it would be difficult to say.
However, this was also an expected situation.
After all, Shen Shi's goal has always been to change the fate of Blue Star's fall and make the future of human civilization strong and prosperous. As long as we continue to move towards this goal, this day will come sooner or later.
"Anyway, let's go shopping first and then talk about it." Overall, Shen Shi was quite looking forward to it.
I want to see what the future shaped by myself will look like.
He looked at four blocks and finally walked towards Dongguo Block.
And soon noticed that there was a stone tablet placed at the front of each block.
A detailed map of the corresponding streets is painted on it!
"There are thousands of shops in just one block."
Shen Shi kept zooming in and scanning, trying to remember the locations of all the stores firmly in his mind.
What made him feel a little relieved was that there were still "antique shops" among these shops, and there were quite a few of them.
This shows that antiques will still have a certain market in the future.
Even if this market is not as important as Future Line No. 1, since it exists, he can still have dominant strength in this market.
However, there is actually an auction here?
Shen Shi looked at the two or three locations with auctions written on them, feeling a little strange.
Transactions in the black market are barter, and auctions are very inconvenient.
After all, if you want to bid, it means there must be a comparison standard of value.
Just go and check it out.
But when Shen Shi was about to leave the stone monument, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Hello, may I ask, sir, is this your first time here too?"
Shen Shi turned around and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
She is a woman with burgundy hair and the same burgundy eyes.
There is a sense of oriental sophistication in her facial features, but the most important thing is her clothes.
Wearing a pale green long dress, the cuffs are embroidered with pale blue peonies, a few auspicious clouds are outlined around the waist, and a row of blue sea water clouds is densely covered at the hem, as if it will turn gently with the body in the next moment. Spread out in all directions, with the golden hairpin on her head and the emerald green on her waist, standing in front of her, there is indeed an ancient beauty coming towards her.
Shen Shi can be sure that this is not the traditional costume of any dynasty, but more like the aesthetic costume of a costume TV series.
It seems that human civilization on this future line has indeed passed down its culture.
This sense of rhyme can not only be inherited from some books or pictures.
Instead, you can truly appreciate the unique beauty of history and culture.
"Yes, this is my first time here." Shen Shi admitted openly.
I guess I was noticed just now when I was standing in front of the map. After all, for people in the future world, it is easy to memorize such a map. If you are not new here, you don't have to look at it for so long.
"Your ancient sayings are so good." The burgundy-haired woman took a step back and saluted, "I am Peggy Bernice Lee Grayston, the new head of the Grayston family, and also This is my first time here, just call me Paige, nice to meet you."
She also said this passage using the "ancient language" she said.
That is Dong Guoyu.
And the language she originally used was different from the language used by Future Line 1. It sounded like Dongguo, and so did some of the words. But there were also some words that she had never heard of before, and they sounded more like some kind of slightly different pronunciation. Same as the formal dialect.
Shen Shi is not surprised that the language of the future will be different from modern times. Even in modern times, ancient terms and vocabulary are quite different from modern times. Maintaining cultural heritage does not mean sticking to everything. Changes are normal.
At least, the person in front of me seems to be equally proficient in "ancient language".
"Just call me Zeren." Shen Shi simply smiled.
At the same time, observe the other party to see if there is anything unreasonable in not telling the origin of the family.
When you come to this brand new black market, you don't need to be as cautious as when you first entered the black market of Future Line One, but when you don't know a lot of information, there is nothing wrong with observing more.
"Mr. Zeren's name, could it be that it is taken from the "Book of Rites: Betrothal", 'In the past, gentlemen were more virtuous than jade, gentle and radiant, and benevolent'?" Paige suddenly said a real sentence in her mouth An old saying.
Shen Shi was stunned.
Then he laughed and said, "Not many people know that."
This is indeed the origin of this name, and it is indeed a name used by Shen Shi. When my father named his younger brother "Zeyuan", the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the name "Chen Shi" was too inappropriate. Simple, I just want to change his name.
But Shen Shi was already five years old at that time and had already remembered his original name, so he gave up in the end.
At this time, it was just used casually as an alternative name, but I didn't expect that the origin would be revealed in one sentence.
It seems that even people in this future line still attach great importance to the culture of the Earth Star Era.
"It seems that Mr. Zeren has not heard of our Grayston family." Peggy tilted her head and chuckled, "We are the Li family of Huaiyang in the East Kingdom who branched off 1,300 years ago. The descendants of the clan are based on the "Book of Rites", but I didn't expect that Mr. Zeren's name also came from this book. No wonder Mr. Zeyuan and I are so destined to enter this place at the same time."
"..."
There is a lot of information in this paragraph.
Shen Shi guessed that the person in front of him probably saw that he had just entered here, so he came up to talk to him, but he did not expect that this person turned out to be a branch of the Dongguo clan more than a thousand years ago.
No wonder her name contains the word "Li".
Shen Shi suddenly realized that no one knew how huge the number of humans on this timeline had grown.
You know, there are 170 billion humans on Future Line 1 alone, and most of them are distributed in the solar system.
What about this future line?
Shen Shi seemed to have vaguely grasped some important information, but he obviously didn't have time to think about the situation in front of him.
"It is indeed fate." He smiled.
"Is there anything you want to trade, Mr. Zeren?" Seeing Shen Shi admitting that they were destined to be together, Peggy's eyes brightened obviously. She walked up a few steps and said with a smile, "Peggy is just here to experience it this time. For a special purpose, if Mr. Zeren allows it, why not go with Paige?"
"..." Shen Shi thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay."
In fact, he felt that the Miss Paige in front of him seemed a little too enthusiastic.
Because in comparison, he actually behaves quite indifferently.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that this was also a good opportunity to quickly understand this future line and this almost unrecognizable black market.
During the conversation, a lot of information will always be revealed.
After he agreed, a virtual box popped up in front of him.
"Peggy Bernice Lee Grayston wants to be your friend. Do you agree?"
Is this... the friend feature?
Another new feature that was not available before.
Although he could also contact Gong Chu and others through the black market before, that was only after the transaction had been completed.
"agree."
The moment Shen Shi replied, Paige received the terminal message, but when she saw Shen Shi's registered name, her eyes lit up.
antique dealer.
There are countless antique dealers in the entire market, but whether they are selling or buying, they all require strong strength. However, no one directly uses the three words "antique dealer" as their name.
This requires a qualification recognized by all antique dealers.
It's like there are many collectors in the entire market, but there is only one person who can really be named "collector".
As for antique dealers, such characters have not yet appeared.
"Mr. Zeren is really confident." Paige chuckled.
Although she felt that the other party did not understand the rules here well enough, using this name so directly was enough to show confidence.
Unexpectedly, I just wanted to get to know more people and see if I could find someone who also had a Holy Land terminal and engraved the steel seal of the marriage contract, but the first person I contacted looked extraordinary.
Shen Shi didn't know what Paige was thinking, but he probably guessed the meaning of her words.
She smiled and said, "I can't talk about confidence, but I do have some wealth when it comes to antiques. Since Paige has no special purpose, why not go to an antique shop with me?"
"Of course." Paige saluted again, her long skirt swaying slightly.
The temperament matched with this outfit is indeed what Shen Shi originally thought. His movements are as graceful as a willow blowing in the wind.
Maybe I should get a dress like this for Ai Xin'er.
Shen Shi thought in his heart.
It's just that it's not easy to achieve this effect with materials. Maybe it can be traded directly from here.
But what is more important right now is to understand this market, especially the market for antiques.
So, Shen Shi walked towards a certain antique shop with Miss Peggy, whom he had just met.
"Miss Paige doesn't look like she's here for the first time." Shen Shi didn't forget the purpose of agreeing to be with Miss Paige.
Let's see if we can find out more information.
"Mr. Zeren should also know that for people who do not have a terminal, this place can only be a mysterious legend. It is so mysterious that it can only be described by the word 'Holy Land', but for those who have obtained a terminal, there is no other way." I can communicate at will through the terminal at any time. Therefore, after getting the terminal, the first thing I did was to find my great-grandfather, another terminal owner, and ask about everything here - it is so It is so magical and powerful that our civilization can be what it is today, and its achievements are second only to the great sages Shen Shi..." Peggy's eyes were always on the surroundings. Although she did not reveal her emotions, she did not hide herself. Everyone can see her clear sense of respect on her expression.
It's like coming to a sacred place.
Shen Shi can understand this feeling.
The more you know about the interstellar world, the more you can feel the power of this black market terminal.
Even in the land of Gus, it is impossible to master such technology.
This is a transmission that ignores distance, not to mention the huge convenience of storage in that huge personal space.
The owner of the terminal can put all his belongings in and take them out at any time.
Not to mention the benefits that come with trading.
It is extremely helpful to the entire civilization and to individuals.
If you were a person from the future and suddenly learned that your civilization had such incredible trump cards, you would be equally excited.
After a few simple conversations with Peggy, Shen Shi realized that Peggy seemed to be intentionally sharing some information she knew, as if he wanted to get closer to her. He almost guessed that Peggy was like this. The reason for enthusiasm - Those who can own the market terminal can be said to have a fast track to the pyramid of human status.
Therefore, here, establishing connections with others, or even making friends, can obtain benefits second only to transactions.
For Paige, as a newcomer, the easiest people to make friends with are naturally newcomers like her.
Only then did she strike up a conversation.
Sure enough, her initial introduction said that she was the new head of the Grayston family. As the leader of a force, even if she was inherited, it was unlikely that she would be a person with no authority and enthusiasm for everyone.
He probably guessed the other party's intention, which made Shen Shi feel a lot more relaxed.
Interests and emotions have never been contradictory. Even in modern society, there are not many pure emotional relationships that do not contain any interests.
"We're here." Shen Shi and Peggy walked to an antique store.
"here it is......"
Peggy raised her head and saw the three big characters "Gufangzhai" with flying phoenixes.
The introduction of this store immediately came to her mind.
"Mr. Zeren, this is an antique pawn shop, but it is not only about antique trading, but also mainly about acquisitions."
"I know." Shen Shi smiled, "But the pawn shop is the fastest place to understand the market conditions."
He opened his mouth and walked directly in.
The building structure of the entire store is a two-story cloister-style courtyard with two buildings. The existing eight-character platform door is built with native stones. On the door, it is written "the emergency is connected". There are couplets on both sides with terrazzo decoration in the middle.
Shen Shi could tell at a glance that this was the style of the Republic of China, and it was also a prototype pawnshop of the Republic of China.
However, whether it is the newness of the house or the exquisiteness of the decoration, it loses a sense of historical vicissitudes and adds a sense of high-end luxury.
