Chapter 4: Omnipotent Transformation Substance

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Therefore, in response to the collector’s question, Shen Shi said slowly, “An ancient text.”

With just these three words, suddenly, everything fell silent.

It was not just the collector. Even the other customer, who had concealed himself, looked over.

“What a coincidence.” The collector smiled.

His lips were clearly golden, but they were exceptionally soft when he smiled.

“What do you have?” the customer asked first.

“I have Sun Tzu’s Art of War.” Shen Shi looked at him.

In an instant, silence appeared again.

Although his expression could not be seen, and the tone of voice could not be heard, Shen Shi could sense his urgency.

He had originally planned to throw it out. Since he had made up his mind, he did not have to hesitate anymore.

“How many words of explanatory notes are there?” the customer asked again.

Explanatory notes?

Shen Shi was stunned.

His gaze then swept across the tattered book on the table, and he seemed to understand.

What was really valuable was not the original text of Sun Tzu’s Art of War.

After all, this was a famous piece of work. Even in the present society, there were countless versions. Therefore, even if the ancient book was missing, the original text should not be missing. However, for the explanatory notes, there might just be only one copy.

“Wait a moment.” Shen Shi was straightforward. His form started to become illusory.

He was in a half offline mode.

At this moment, his main consciousness had returned to reality.

He walked directly to his study and picked up the book on Sun Tzu’s Art of War.

Sea City Literary Union Publishing House. It was a hardcover edition with a hard cover. It had a total of 312 pages and was as thick as a novel with more than 100,000 words.

Compared to the incomplete book he had seen earlier, it was many times better.

When he returned to the collector’s store, the book had already appeared in his hand.

However, at this moment, the book had turned yellow, dry, and fragile. The pages were stuck together, as if they would break into pieces if he flipped them.

3,000 years of time had already been added to this book.

Even so, the customer was still excited. Even the collector’s gaze was firmly on the book!

“It has actually been preserved so intact!”

Even though he could not understand the language, even from the translated voice, he could sense the unbelievable shock in the collector’s tone of voice.

He gently raised his fair fingers, and the book in Shen Shi’s hand immediately flew up and spread page by page in the air. The originally fragile pages seemed to have been delicately protected; they separated completely. Even the smallest cracks could be seen clearly, without any effect on each other.

However, the words on it seemed to have been pixelated. It was impossible to see them clearly.

After all, what had appeared here was not the real book at all.

It was a virtual version of the book.

The mosaic on the text was only a protection of the copyright.

Shen Shi did not speak. He was also a little surprised by this scene, but he still remembered to maintain his taciturn persona.

After a long while.

The collector still did not retract his gaze of amazement and fascination.

“I haven’t seen such a perfect ancient book in a long time!” His fingers slowly swept across the floating pages, as if he was feeling the rough texture. “It has been preserved in a vacuum environment with nothing missing! It should have only gone through one owner. Unfortunately, its owner had not turned the pages much. Sir, please sell this treasure of humanity to me. I will definitely give you a deal you will be pleased with!”

The azure light in the collector’s eyes became scorching.

The excitement in his tone was obvious.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

In fact, this was a very irrational behavior in a transaction.

Shen Shi did not believe that people 3,000 years later would not be able to control their emotions, but he had still acted as such.

This was enough to show the value of this book!

He had made a correct guess.

Shen Shi was also ecstatic!

This meant that he who was from the past had real treasures!

Thanks to the anonymity mode, Shen Shi’s mood had not been leaked at all.

After a moment of silence, he suppressed his emotions and looked at the customer earlier.

“Show me the item you want to trade.”

“…Sure!”

Due to anonymity, Shen Shi did not know the expression of the other customer.

However, the ball of tumbling liquid had already flown over.

The introduction sounded at the same time.

“The simulation transformation substance produced by the Adelaide civilization is specially made for integration into other civilizations. It can simulate any carbon-based living creatures. The smallest unit is precise to the progenitor cells. Its simulation of a material’s structure is also very strong. At the same time, it is equipped with the strongest anti-reconnaissance system. Its value to the military is extremely high.”

Shen Shi looked at the ball of liquid in his hand and listened to the continuous translation.

Even though the original tone could not be heard under the effect of anonymity, he could sense the urgency in the other party’s heart from the lengthy introduction.

Anonymity was indeed not omnipotent.

It was indeed right to speak less.

However, compared to all this, Shen Shi was even more amazed by the item in his hand.

He had already temporarily obtained the right to use this item from the trading platform and knew its true use.

Transformation.

The so-called simulation transformation substance was made up of incomparably small individual units that could transform into most elements.

“Take note, it’s an element! An element like hydrogen, helium, lithium, helium!”

From the current scientific perspective, this was almost impossible. The so-called elements were the basic particles that constituted matter. They were the result of a qualitative change caused by the quantitative change in the number of protons in an atom. In other words, if the substance in front of him really existed, its level of control would at least be a proton!

However, there was no change in the proton’s energy?

Forget it.

Shen Shi gave up on using his poor scientific knowledge to think about technology 3,000 years later.

Suppressing his excitement, he controlled it according to the manual. With a thought, the ball of black liquid in his hand suddenly compressed into a square of gold.

Whether it was the weight or the texture, it was no different from real gold!

Then, it moved again.

It turned into a bird he did not know the name of. It had wings that kept changing color, and it was beautiful. It spread its wings and flew around Shen Shi in this small room.

This was an alien creature recorded in the database of the simulation transformation substance.

The transformation substance could transform into most elements, but combining them required a control terminal to control it. It was like the relationship between a remote control and a drone.

“Not bad,” said Shen Shi, pretending to be calm.

“Then let’s trade!” The customer could no longer suppress his anxiety.

This was a complete copy of Sun Tzu’s Art of War! Even if it was not the only copy, just its completeness alone was enough to increase its value by more than ten times!

If he were to give this treasure to the Lord…

He had to trade for it!

The customer even looked at the collector warily.

A moment ago, they were trading partners. Now, they were rivals!
