Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Interstellar Civilization’s Trade List
When some plants and animals were taken from their place of growth, flying away, leaving this forest behind, you could visibly see those dense roots inside them constantly shrinking.
Yes, like a receding network, or reverse-growing plants, rapidly contracting from their original organizational structure, until only sporadic "seeds" remained scattered within the body.
"This is..." Shen Yu had countless guesses flickering through his mind, a slight frown on his brow, "Is there some kind of information link?"
"It seems so," interstellar world Shen Yu nodded as well, "Once you leave the forest, this happens, which shows there is some kind of connection between the individual and the forest collective."
Shen Yu suddenly understood; this could also explain why nothing was found on those previous investigators.
He’d been wondering: no matter how hidden, Mother Star still had the capability for molecular-level analysis.
With comprehensive inspection being inevitable, yet still finding nothing.
Now he knew the answer.
Leave the forest, and the parasites will fade away.
But they still remain in the body, just much more concealed.
"In this situation, can we still study them?" Shen Yu frowned slightly.
The purpose of the investigation is to study the traits, find weaknesses, and then make the most of these precious nine days to prepare as thoroughly as possible.
Now, if things go deeply hidden as soon as they leave the forest, it will undoubtedly make research harder.
"I’ll try bringing them back first," interstellar world Shen Yu said, then turned to look at Shen Yu, "The Eye Worm Weapon is already fully prepared; it can be delivered at any time. Also, I’ve just added some powerful and comprehensive items to the trading list. It’s a type of individual combat gear."
When "individual combat weapon" was mentioned, the warriors present immediately looked over.
Interstellar Civilization’s individual combat gear!
Thinking of that incredible detection device they’d just seen, their eyes gradually burned with excitement.
No warrior can resist powerful weapons!
"Good." Shen Yu nodded, turned toward the squad leader, and instructed, "Stay here for now, don’t approach the forest, but keep alert. I’ll assign permissions for the detection device to your team."
"Yes, sir!" The squad leader snapped to attention, "Mission guaranteed!"
He didn’t argue for his team to get the "individual combat gear" mentioned by interstellar world Shen Yu, but the high spirits and anticipation in his tone were unmistakable.
Shen Yu and interstellar world Shen Yu vanished from sight.
After leaving spatial coordinates behind, they immediately went to the Eye Worm combat frontlines.
The gear left here previously was still actively engaged in combat.
Every Eye Worm crossing the border was eliminated.
But as the number of Eye Worms abroad spread, just this one device was already not enough.
It’s clear: with interstellar world Shen Yu’s access, his role is crucial to all three worlds’ current situations.
"Advisor Shen, Mr. Han Yu." Notified, Jiang Hui quickly arrived; soon after, more and more reporters kept flooding in—only to be held back by the soldiers.
Yes, a flood of reporters.
From every country around the globe.
During those hours that Shen Yu focused on the newly emerged monsters, the entire world’s networks and media stayed on a constant high.
Although there had still been casualties in Jerald City, very few paid attention.
Almost all attention and voices were directed at the mercenary from the Otherworld: Sword Return Two.
The overwhelming extraordinary power he displayed drew the world’s gaze!
However, the loyal henchmen Shen Yu sent out still followed instructions, firmly refusing all interviews.
And, with Shen Yu’s authority and support, they ignored all kinds of voices and pressure.
Some frustrated journalists instead flocked to the Eye Worm battlefield in the Eastern Country.
Even with Eye Worm devices in place, it was still dangerous here—if the Eye Worms exceeded the device’s maximum capacity, those gathered journalists would be directly exposed to their threat.
Still, the people of the world truly needed confidence; the victorious battlefront needed to be reported.
So they allowed some reporters in, as appropriate.
But this also brought no small pressure for Jiang Hui.
So, seeing Shen Yu and interstellar world Shen Yu arrive, this fifty-something general looked like he’d just met his savior.
"I’m here to deliver the equipment," interstellar world Shen Yu said bluntly, and with a gesture, twenty container-sized Eye Worm drone hives appeared in the field.
All the reporters were instantly fired up!
This scene would spread worldwide in no time.
Some people even tried to rush over, but clearly, the warriors weren’t gentle.
However, Shen Yu and interstellar world Shen Yu paid no attention to it.
The publicity front had its job and purpose; they had their own tasks to do.
"Good, good—Mr. Han Yu, thank you very much for your support," Jiang Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No surprise, after the global Meteorite Crisis response agency is founded, he will be appointed Global Eye Worm Battle Command Chief.
He’ll be deeply involved at the main overseas battlefields.
With these, victory was in their hands.
The Eye Worms might become the first monsters to be fully wiped out!
"We’ll leave this to you now." After Jiang Hui signed off and received authorization, Shen Yu and interstellar world Shen Yu vanished once more.
This time, they returned to Shen Yu’s own company in Coastal City.
A crowd had already gathered here.
This time, they were representatives from across the globe—far more than before.
The enormous conference room was packed.
It was clear they were all waiting for the Interstellar Civilization’s trading list!
This list contains technologies far beyond current Human Civilization, signals scientific upheavals across countless domains, represents massive shifts of interest; in many people’s eyes, it’s even more important than the battlefields causing ongoing huge casualties.
Many interest group reps who hadn’t made it in time were sweating impatiently.
But Shen Yu and interstellar world Shen Yu wouldn’t wait for them.
The trading list exists to rapidly boost human civilization’s power.
Not for certain people or groups to profit.
Maybe, indeed, many people will benefit from the process, but to Shen Yu, that’s secondary, and not worth worrying about—what matters is overseeing it.
"The Meteorite Crisis is still urgent. Let’s not waste time on dividing up the interests here." Shen Yu’s voice rang through the hall, "I’ve already discussed with Han Yu: the first trading list will focus on military tech. Apart from foundational theoretical knowledge for the tech tree, and some industrial technology we can quickly transform with our current capabilities, Interstellar Civilization will also provide some of their obsolete weapons stock, at extremely cheap prices—allowing us to strengthen our combat power at the frontlines."
