Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 60: In the Magic World

Actually, they already have a rough estimate of the time Shen Shi left Blue Star.

From Ai Xin’Er, it can be seen that this period is about four years, not exceeding five years at most.

Four or five years should mean little in the vast interstellar realm.

Yet, Shen Shi managed to become the captain of a spaceship, managing numerous aliens, and was even able to leverage his "future" to secure funds possibly aiding Blue Star in resisting an entire alien fleet!

The most reasonable speculation is that Shen Shi has backing!

An entity that took him away from Blue Star and provided opportunities, possibly granting him all the current privileges!

And Shen Shi’s words today undoubtedly increased this possibility. frёewebnoѵēl.com

If he has no backing, how could he meet such "friends" capable of assisting in such a short timeframe?

Of course, all of this is still just speculation.

Tao De wanted to inquire whether Shen Shi’s friend was reliable, but he ultimately restrained himself.

Because asking about it wouldn’t be particularly meaningful.

No solution.

They know too little about this; even if they knew the plan, they could hardly assess its merits. They’d still ultimately rely on Shen Shi because his interests and goals should align with theirs.

Therefore, in the end, Tao De could only sincerely look at Shen Shi and slowly say, "I’ll leave it up to you, sir."

"..." Shen Shi nodded.

He indeed had some confidence in Gong Chu. This confidence was built not only on Gong Chu but also on humanity’s future understanding of their enemies.

Those were the enemies defeated after six hundred years of bitter struggle.

However, even so, Shen Shi still felt a certain responsibility when nodding at that moment.

The future of all humanity rests on this defense plan decided by him.

"How do you feel?"

Shen Shi was not troubled by this sense of responsibility. At present, he would not be affected by such a level of pressure.

He merely turned around and casually asked Wen Hezhi and Song Yao, who were silent:

"Any guesses?"

Both of them tightened their hearts.

They vaguely understood that this question was actually a kind of assessment.

The conversation that occurred before them undoubtedly revealed some intriguing information, yet it was clear that some key information was deliberately hidden. Those things could only be known if they qualified and were selected.

Wen Hezhi did not engage in any "ladies first" courtesy. After a brief silence, he spoke first: "I sensed a certain crisis."

Shen Shi slightly nodded inwardly.

Their conversation did not emphasize this point, but a person with a keen intuition should be able to deduce this possibility from expressions, eye contact, content, and tone of conversation.

"The key to overcoming this crisis should be Mr. Shen." Song Yao quickly followed up and added a small compliment, "Moreover, Mr. Shen possesses capabilities and maturity that do not match his youthful appearance. Even when facing Mr. Tao’s daunting crisis, he seems composed, at least not feeling the pressure like Mr. Tao — therefore, I guess our work primarily is to follow Mr. Shen’s instructions, rather than support Mr. Shen’s work."

There is a fundamental distinction between listening to and supporting.

Wen Hezhi opened his mouth but closed it again.

He was not thrilled about letting go of his thriving career to become a subordinate who follows orders unconditionally.

However, after a brief silence, Wen Hezhi abruptly said, "This crisis probably will sweep across the globe, which is why Mr. Shen’s position is so prominent... Honestly, I made many speculations, yet I can’t figure out what kind of crisis could lead to such a result, making the worth and status I worked hard to achieve seem meaningless... unless it’s a global war, or else I can only guess in a magical direction."

As he finished, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Song Yao also smiled on the side.

She understood that Wen Hezhi was alleviating the atmosphere, which was slightly oppressive otherwise.

However...

They quickly realized that Shen Shi did not laugh, nor did Tao De, only Liang Xin looked at them with a touch of helplessness.

Wen Hezhi’s smile gradually became awkward.

In a decade of ups and downs in the business world, he rarely encountered situations that rendered him somewhat helpless.

Until Shen Shi revealed a hint of a smile, saving him from such a situation.

But very soon.

He was entirely unconcerned with these matters.

Because Shen Shi extended his finger, gently tapping on the table and said with a laugh, "Magic, do you mean this?"

At the instant the dull tapping sound resonated, all the plates placed on the table, including the dishes, silently floated without any disturbance!

There was no sense of being pulled, just as if an invisible hand was steadily holding them underneath, devoid of even a slight ripple in the soup!

Wen Hezhi’s eyes widened instantaneously, even to the point of pain!

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to shout; he just couldn’t utter a word at the moment.

What is this nonsense?!

He could swear never in his life had he lost composure like this!

And Song Yao wasn’t much better off.

Her mouth was shaped in an O, with all her elegance and maturity vanished, as she instinctively waved her hands below and above the floating plates.

Magic? Props?

How could that be! What kind of occasion is this?

They didn’t believe all these formalities were merely to perform a magic trick in front of both of them!

"Mr. Shen, is this..."

Wen Hezhi slightly regained composure, staring at Shen Shi, who had a faint smile, his gaze completely changed.

If this wasn’t an earth-shattering deception! Then it was the remodeling of the entire world!

"People always try to understand everything, but there will always be some things that are hard to understand."

Shen Shi lightly waved his finger, this time, not only did the plates rise but also the soup within them, which followed the direction of his hand’s movement, flowing slowly through the air around them, even the inviting aroma of the soup could be smelled.

This scene couldn’t even be described as magic!

Mr. Tao and Liang Xin, who knew part of the truth, were somewhat better, merely marveling at this mysterious and unknown method, simultaneously realizing the tip of the iceberg of interstellar technology once more.

But Wen Hezhi and Song Yao felt as if they were in a Magic World!

The smarter the person, the more fixed their worldview becomes.

Therefore, it becomes ever more challenging to completely overturn the old worldview.

Only unreserved, direct shock! Can easily accomplish it.
