At that ti, Shen Shi was already five years old, and had long rembered his original na, so he did not change it.
Now, it was just casually used as an alias, but unexpectedly, it was effortlessly revealed.
It seems that even the people on this future tiline place great importance on the culture of the Earth Star Era.
"It seems Mr. Ze Ren hasn’t heard of our Graston Clan," Peggy tilted her head slightly and laughed, "We are the descendants split off from the Li Clan of Huaiyang in the Eastern Country thirteen hundred years ago. Our clan follows the ’Ritual Records’ as our foundation. I didn’t expect Mr. Ze Ren’s na also cos from this book, no wonder I’m so fated to et Mr. Ze Yuan, and enter this place together."
"..."
There’s a lot of information in this passage.
Shen Shi guessed that the person before him likely approached him for conversation, seeing that both had just arrived, but didn’t anticipate that she was from a branch of an Eastern Country clan split a thousand years ago.
No wonder her na included the character "Li."
Shen Shi suddenly realized sothing — no one knows just how vast and nurous humanity on this tiline has beco.
It’s known that on tiline one alone, humanity numbers one hundred seventy billion, with most distributed within the Solar System.
And this future tiline?
Shen Shi seed to grasped so crucial information, but the current situation clearly didn’t allow him ti to reflect.
"Indeed, it is fate." He smiled.
"Does Mr. Ze Ren have anything he’d like to trade?" Seeing Shen Shi acknowledge the connection, Peggy’s eyes notably sparkled as she walked a few steps closer, smiling warmly, "Peggy ca here only to experience, with no particular purpose. If Mr. Ze Ren allows, why not accompany Peggy?"
"..." Shen Shi pondered briefly, then nodded in agreent, "Alright."
Actually, he felt that Miss Peggy in front of him seed a little overly enthusiastic.
By comparison, his own deanor was rather indifferent.
However, after thinking it over, he believed it was indeed a good opportunity to quickly understand this future tiline, and this almost entirely transford black market.
Conversations always reveal plenty of information.
Upon agreeing, a virtual fra appeared before him.
"Peggy Bernice Lee Graston wants to beco friends with you, do you agree?"
This is...a friend function?
Another previously unseen feature.
Previously, he was able to contact people like Gong Chu through the black market only after completing transactions.
"Agree."
As soon as Shen Shi gave his response, Peggy received terminal information, and upon seeing Shen Shi’s registered na, her eyes involuntarily brightened.
Antique Dealer.
There are countless antique dealers in the market, but whether selling or buying, it requires extrely strong capabilities, yet no one directly uses "Antique Dealer" as their na.
This requires recognition from all antique dealers.
Like how there are many collectors in the market, but only one person can use "Collector" as their na.
And for Antique Dealer, such a figure hasn’t yet appeared.
"Mr. Ze Ren truly has confidence." Peggy lightheartedly chuckled.
Though she thought maybe the other party wasn’t fully familiar with the rules here, using such a na clearly demonstrated confidence.
Unexpectedly, she was just thinking of eting more people, to see if she could find soone with a Holy Land terminal alike, to engrave a marriage contract steel seal. Yet, the first person she contacted seed quite remarkable.
Shen Shi didn’t know Peggy’s thoughts, but he roughly guessed her aning in that sentence.
He laughed, "Confidence might be overstated, but I do have a bit of backing in antiques. Since Peggy has no particular aim, why don’t we visit antique shops together?"
"Certainly." Peggy bowed again, her long skirt swaying gently.
The style of this outfit matched exactly as Shen Shi first imagined, with actions and gestures as graceful as the wind blowing through willow trees.
Perhaps he should also get a similar outfit for Ai Xin’Er.
Shen Shi thought to himself.
But to achieve such an effect, the material wasn’t easy, maybe he could directly obtain it here.
Yet, what’s more important now is understanding this market, especially the antique segnt of the market.
Thus, Shen Shi and this newly acquainted Miss Peggy headed towards an antique shop.
"Miss Peggy doesn’t seem like a first-ti visitor here." Shen Shi hadn’t forgotten that his aim in joining Miss Peggy was to gather more information.
See if it’s possible to probe more information.
"Mr. Ze Ren should know that for those without a terminal, this place can only be a mysterious legend. It’s mysterious enough to be described only with the word ’Holy Land,’ but for those with a terminal, communication can occur freely via the terminal. Hence, after obtaining the terminal, the first thing I did was find my great-grandfather, another terminal holder, to inquire about everything here — it’s so magical and powerful. That our civilization stands today is only second to the achievents of the great Shen Shi predecessor... " Peggy’s gaze wandered around, showing no emotion but her expression unmistakably honored, sothing everyone could perceive clearly.
As if arriving at a sacred land.
Shen Shi could understand such feelings.
The more one learns about interstellar, the more they feel the power of this black market terminal.
Even Gus Land couldn’t possibly wield such technology.
It allows teleportation ignoring distances, not to ntion the vast convenience of the personal space in storage.
Terminal holders can store all their assets to retrieve them anyti, anywhere.
Needless to say the benefits from transactions.
The impact on the entire civilization, and assistance to individuals are imnsely significant.
If he himself were a future person suddenly discovering his civilization has such incredible aces, he would equally be excited.
After briefly conversing with Peggy, Shen Shi realized that Peggy seed intentionally sharing so information she knew to possibly foster a closer relationship. He also gathered why Peggy was so enthusiastic — holding a market terminal virtually ans possessing a shortcut to ascend the human status pyramid.
Therefore, establishing connections and friendships here provides benefits only second to transactions.
For Peggy, as a newcor, the easiest connections to make are surely with those like her who are newcors.
This prompted her initial interaction.
Indeed, her first introduction was stating she was the new Patriarch of the Graston Clan. As a leader of a power, even if inherited, it’s unlikely she’s soone without any fortitude who is warm-hearted to everyone.
Speculating the opposite party’s intentions eased Shen Shi sowhat.
Interest and emotions are never contradictory; even in modern society, there are few emotional relationships devoid of any interest.
"We have arrived." Shen Shi and Peggy reached an antique shop front.
"This is..."
Peggy looked up at the three flamboyant characters "Ancient Fragrance Studio."
The introduction of this shop imdiately erged in her mind.
"Mr. Ze Ren, this is an antique pawn shop, but it’s not only antique trading; it primarily focuses on acquisition."
"I know." Shen Shi smiled, "But pawn shops are the fastest way to understand market trends."
He started walking in directly.
The structure of the shop’s building is composed of two two-story corridor-style courtyard houses, the existing pedint gate is made of native stone blocks, the gate inscribed with "Quick and Slow Connection," adorned with double-wing pairs, inlaid with polished stone decoration in the middle.
Shen Shi could imdiately see it’s in the style of the Republic of China and still has the original style of a pawn shop from the Republic of China.
However, whether in terms of the newness of the building or the refinent of decorations, it adds more of an upscale luxury feeling rather than a historical sense of vicissitudes.
