Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 58: Beginning to Change This World

This device not only can automatically produce a protective force field, but it can also take the user flying away to escape. It even has some offensive capabilities, so basically, there’s not much to worry about on Blue Star.

Shen Shi prepared similar devices for his mother and brother, and even for Ai Xin’Er’s parents. He ordered the simulated transforming material to be brought back and secretly attached to them, ensuring their safety.

Of course, this is just a backup plan. As far as Shen Shi knows, Tao De has actually arranged tight covert protection around his family.

Once his "Future Island" is established and his family is settled, he won’t have to worry anymore.

Even if it comes to the worst, if humanity ultimately loses... with the Wogte’s engine and defense advantages, he can still take them and leave in time.

Without these worries behind him, he can be bolder with what he’s going to do next!

"Oh no!" Ai Xin’Er suddenly exclaimed.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Shi asked.

"I, I..." Ai Xin’Er hesitated for a long time before dejectedly saying, "I didn’t prepare a gift. I didn’t even think I’d confess tonight."

"If you don’t have one, it’s fine." Shen Shi thought it was something else and replied indifferently.

"No, that won’t do!" Ai Xin’Er shook her head, pursing her lips. "I already owe you a gift, promised last time... It’s been nearly half a month, and I haven’t prepared it."

It’s not that she hasn’t prepared, she just isn’t satisfied with what she prepared.

Shen Shi emphasized that it should be heartfelt.

She wanted to knit a scarf and gloves, but it’s summer now. She thought of buying some gifts but felt it wasn’t heartfelt enough. She wanted to cook a good meal, but she didn’t have the skill. Finally, she considered writing a piano piece expressing her feelings, but she grew increasingly dissatisfied the more she composed.

Meanwhile, she received Shen Shi’s "token of affection," putting herself in a bind.

After all, she knew well that neither party in a relationship should only take without giving.

After racking her brains for a long time without any solution, she timidly suggested, "Tonight, perhaps..."

Before she could finish the short sentence, her neck was flushed with embarrassment, and she couldn’t say another word.

Shen Shi found it amusing.

Ai Xin’Er was quite the pretender; she appeared bold and open when joking, but shrank back when serious.

However, sensing her tension and timidity, Shen Shi let her off the hook. After all, they had just confirmed their relationship. He teased, "What kind of nice idea is that? Sooner or later, you’ll be mine; it shouldn’t be used as a gift."

"Then what should I do?" Ai Xin’Er asked, raising her head, adopting a ’come what may’ attitude.

"You decide." Shen Shi refused to catch this ball, kicking it back, laughing, "No rush. Alright, let’s check on Qin Lan. I suspect she might have fallen into a hole."

Qin Lan naturally hadn’t fallen into a hole; she was just upset and unwilling to return to witness their romance.

Yet upon hearing that Ai Xin’Er would still return with her tonight, she immediately brightened up with joy.

Her admiration for Ai Xin’Er was apparent on her face.

The time was already late, and with strong self-control, even having just confirmed their relationship at the peak of passion, Shen Shi didn’t continue strolling with Ai Xin’Er. Instead, he escorted them back to the rental apartment door.

Indeed, since moving out of the school dormitory, Ai Xin’Er had been sharing a rental with Qin Lan.

They both valued safety highly and chose a place considered upscale.

Moreover, Shen Shi had already arranged numerous simulated transforming material disguised as little cats, dogs, birds, and sparrows to guard around, along with the necklace given out tonight, eradicating any worries about Miss Ai’s safety.

Sitting alone in the car, breathing slowly, Shen Shi’s emotions had entirely settled.

The real purpose of tonight was just to meet again with Tao De and the others, Ai Xin’Er’s confession being an unexpected delight.

However, upon confirming the relationship and becoming a true boyfriend, Shen Shi also felt a certain responsibility.

Ai Xin’Er’s dream was to become a legendary piano master like Chopin or Beethoven, letting her name and music be passed down for generations.

After all, beauty fades, and gray hair grows too soon.

She had once candidly told Shen Shi that only when people praised her talent more than her beauty would she truly be an everlasting blossom with an unfading aura.

But such a dream... without Human Civilization, would mean nothing.

"Indeed... not rushing to escape is the right choice," Shen Shi thought with increasing determination. "On Blue Star, is where the life we want is."

Escaping Blue Star would mean losing all of these.

Head back and prepare.

By tomorrow, he’ll begin changing the world!

...

Presently, Shen Shi almost didn’t need to sleep. Even with mental exhaustion, merely closing his eyes for a brief ten seconds left him invigorated as if he had slept all night.

This is the power of the Evolution Device.

Countless "particles" undetectable even by electron microscopes could, to some extent, enable his flesh and blood to achieve feats only mechanical constructs could do.

Thus he had nearly twice the time as other humans.

Efficiency, incomparable. freewebnøvel.com

Shen Shi was exploiting this tremendous advantage, filling himself with everything he needed, be it knowledge or thought.

Perhaps in no time, even without shortcuts, he would become the most outstanding among all of humanity.

Meanwhile, Tao De and others remained sleepless.

Not only needing to report upward, but also constantly discussing, choosing, striving to decide the elites Shen Shi needed in the shortest time. After making decisions, they needed to rush over overnight for highly confidential communications, then escort them to Hai City.

No telling how many resources were expended, just to speed things up!

Under such circumstances, it was around noon the next day when they brought two people to the hotel where Shen Shi lived.

Guided by the hotel’s private butler, they arrived at the luxury presidential suite, where Shen Shi sat at the dining table, surrounded by a feast, and additional tableware, obviously knowing their arrival.

"You came." He casually greeted the four, "Sit, join me for a meal."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for the hospitality." Tao De and Liang Xin walked over with smiles, the other two, also not restrained, followed and sat down.

It was a man and a woman.

The man looked under forty, dressed in a suit, his posture straight, exuding a stable aura.
