Chapter 93: Chapter 83: First Battle Won, Total Annihilation!


Have to admit, being fired up does make you work faster.


In just over ten minutes, Jer Saint and the others led interstellar world Shen Yu into a strictly confidential room, where the Goddess of Hope personally blocked all sources of information inside.


Now, inside the room, it was just interstellar world Shen Yu and the Goddess of Hope.


Interstellar world Shen Yu carefully took out a card.


On it was written "Basic Technology Customization Card."


The Goddess of Hope ran a comprehensive scan immediately, but got nothing—almost as if it was just any ordinary card.


Meanwhile, interstellar world Shen Yu stared at the card without hesitation.


On the way here, he’d already tried everything, almost asking about every bit of his Martial Artist Shen Yu inheritance, especially all kinds of mineral resources.


In the end, the detection technology based on moonstone turned out to be the cheapest.


Thirty-six million units.


Interstellar world Shen Yu was still short, but it didn’t matter; when it’s something urgently needed, all he had to do was file a report to the Association—basically, tell real Shen Yu—and he’d be able to borrow part right away.


"Based on the current situation, customize a product technology capable of detecting Void Spirits."


The next moment, the card in front of him rapidly transformed into a recording chip.


It was the standard recording chip used by interstellar civilization.


When interstellar world Shen Yu plugged it into the data transmission interface, the Goddess of Hope instantly finished recording and scanning.


"This technology requires a special extraordinary resource called moonstone," said the Goddess of Hope.


"Martial Arts World has it, we can trade with them," interstellar world Shen Yu responded immediately, "But, how long will it take to produce it near my home, or here?"


He named those two places only because he could set coordinates there and transport quickly.


The Goddess of Hope was more efficient: "Elron Planet’s manufacturing facilities can complete all production except for the moonstone-intensive step."


"Perfect, I’ll arrange a trade now." Interstellar world Shen Yu immediately contacted Martial Artist Shen Yu.


"Moonstone? No problem, I can give you some right away." Martial Artist Shen Yu’s voice sounded a bit worn out. "But I’ll have to ask a higher price; my world’s got some serious trouble."


"Okay, we’ll talk details in a bit." Interstellar world Shen Yu’s heart sank.


Not because Martial Artist Shen Yu was driving a hard bargain, but because of the trouble he mentioned.


For it to wear down Martial Artist Shen Yu like this, it was obviously serious.


To be honest, interstellar world Shen Yu was a bit dissatisfied with the earlier deal from the Goddess of Hope. Given the power of interstellar civilization, even if the industry was tight, they could still offer more resources.


It just proves the Goddess of Hope’s core logic—interstellar civilization interest comes first.


The Association isn’t a true, mature association; with only three people, giving the other two a bad impression could cost much more.


Even in interstellar world Shen Yu’s heart, he didn’t want to see other worlds suffer or lose more over something like this.


"The moonstone trade can go ahead, but Martial Arts Civilization needs more resources on their end," interstellar world Shen Yu said seriously. "I hope you’ll reassess my permissions and, per my request, ramp up our side of the trade."


"Assessment complete," said Goddess of Hope, without using even a second. "The technology you presented has once again shown the strength of the Multi-Dimensional Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association, and your generosity to allies demonstrates your commitment to civilization. After evaluation, your administrative authority is promoted to B5, and your military authority is promoted to B5."


B5 means you can manage five million civilians and five hundred thousand troops.


That’s a fiftyfold increase compared to before!


Interstellar world Shen Yu was still a bit dissatisfied, but he knew the Goddess of Hope was strict about delegating authority—it’s hard-coded. Her current full-tilt support for interstellar world Shen Yu could only go this far.


Unless interstellar world Shen Yu could invade the Goddess of Hope right now.


But the amount of Gray Mist needed was impossible to get.


"Give me the most beneficial trade plan for Martial Arts Civilization," interstellar world Shen Yu said.


Martial Artist Shen Yu had actually already sent some moonstone, but all the more reason for interstellar world Shen Yu to fight for their interests.


He wasn’t just favoring outsiders—the Goddess of Hope simply didn’t understand the reality inside the Association.


If you don’t feel for one another right from the start, things will only get messier; regulations are needed, but so is real solidarity.


In the end, the plan Goddess of Hope came up with was just acceptable for interstellar world Shen Yu.


He passed it along to Martial Artist Shen Yu.


"This is the best I could get for you right now."


"Fine," Martial Artist Shen Yu replied simply, "Let’s talk more in a bit."


With moonstone on hand, the Goddess of Hope wasted no time on production, resources escorted personally at every stage by interstellar world Shen Yu.


Even if the Void Spirit Race found them, there was no way they’d snatch this precious resource from interstellar world Shen Yu.


In just two hours, twenty detection devices appeared before Jer Saint and the other senior commanders.


These detection devices looked extremely crude.


And they needed to be operated by direct human input.
