American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

“Actually, I think it’s still usable. Although it’s inconvenient for you to use them directly, you can get some easily influenced idealists to use them to serve you.” Yuri stroked his chin and said, “In addition, I can try to cultivate some new symbiotes based on them.”

"Good idea!" Upon hearing Yuri's words, Josie immediately understood.

To put it bluntly, it's about using PUA to get people with a sense of justice to do things for you, just like what he did to Carter.

However, despite saying that, Josie still felt a little regretful that she couldn't directly use these symbiotes.

After all, aside from its obvious weaknesses, this thing is practically a perfect biological weapon.

In the end, Josie only took one Patience with her, while the remaining two Blades and Courage were left for Yuri to study, to see if he could cultivate new primitive symbiotes or modify these symbiotes.

As for why Patience was chosen? Because it's blue, which best suits Josie's aesthetic – understated and unassuming.

White and red are too eye-catching, so it's that simple.

"By the way, besides these three symbiotes, I also learned some other things from their memories." After explaining the symbiotes, Yuri told Josie about the information he learned from the symbiotes' memories regarding the Celestials, the Eternals, the reason for the destruction of Pangoria, and the Nar fragments in the spaceship.

So that's how it is! Hearing Yuri's explanation, Josie suddenly understood why an alien spaceship would attract big shots like Odin and the Ancient One. It turned out that the Celestials and the symbiotic god Knull were also involved.

Damn, this time the goods have really gotten out of hand.

Josie couldn't help but scratch her head.

“Based on the memories of several symbiotes, I don’t have a good way to deal with or eliminate it other than keeping that Nar fragment imprisoned. After all, even with Pangria’s technology, it’s impossible to completely destroy it. However, the anti-Iron Curtain device I just built works in a similar way to the prison system on that Pangria ship, and it can restrain it… If you don’t have a good way to deal with it, I think you’ll have to keep it imprisoned for now. Of course, putting it in the system space is also an option—although this thing sounds impressive, judging from the fact that we can trade it, our trading system and system space are far more advanced than it,” Yuri said.

"That's all we can do for now. We'll deal with it when we find a solution later!" Josie nodded.

"By the way, do you want that Pangria ship?" Just as Josie thought the matter was almost settled and was about to end the communication, Yuri asked again.

"Hmm? Don't you want to study it?" Hearing Yuri say this, Josie was surprised. Such advanced technology should be studied further by Yuri.

“I do want to study it, but to be honest, the Kree spaceship you mentioned is alright; it has some similarities to human technology. But the Domo and this Pangorian ship, frankly, their technological level is beyond my comprehension, and they're completely different from our human technology. If these two ships had their own complete basic technological systems, I could try to crack them, but the problem is that one is a simple transport ship, and the other is a prison ship; they're both practical ships with virtually no foundational knowledge for me to learn from and study… I simply don't know where to begin.” Yuri sighed as he said this, “Moreover, my energy is limited. The Eternals you sent before still have Kree technology; I'm already quite busy, and I don't have the energy to study a new technological system.”

Is Yuri a formidable and versatile scientist?

Great.

But no matter how powerful he is, he is still just a human being, not a god.

Given the significant generational gap and the different technological systems, he didn't have many good solutions.

Even if Josie isn't particularly interested in technology, she can understand this.

“But I don’t need this thing!” Josie said.

Even Yuri couldn't handle this advanced spaceship, so what could he possibly do?

“I only said that it can’t be studied in a short time, but I didn’t say it can’t be used. Didn’t I just give you the key?” Yuri said.

Upon hearing this, Josie immediately understood.

Yes, they don't know how to operate this spaceship, but those symbiotes obviously do.

But he wasn't comfortable letting someone else control such a high-tech spaceship... Josie frowned slightly as she looked at the container of patience in her hand.

But since Yuri said so, let's just take it and leave it for now.

After communicating with Yuri, Josie looked at the symbiote in her hand and hesitated, wondering whether she should give it to Carter.

After all, Carter is already strong enough. If she were given a symbiote, it would be difficult to control her.

He shook his head, put the symbiote back into the system space, and decided to see how things went later. In any case, he didn't have much need for the symbiote's current capabilities.

After finishing his conversation with Yuri, Josie didn't forget to contact Chae Rim again to talk about the Jade Record.

“I just recently resurrected Imhotep, and as an ancient Egyptian, I don’t think anyone is more suitable to study this than him,” Chae Rim quickly replied upon hearing Josie’s purpose.

“You have to be careful, this guy isn’t as honest as he seems!” Josie warned.

"Haha, don't worry. A man who would do anything for a woman, even if he has a little ambition, is easy to control. Besides, I have the Sun Scripture and the Bible of the Dead in my hands now. He can't cause any trouble. And if all else fails, there's still our Emperor!" Cai Lin said nonchalantly.

"That's for the best. By the way, the Sun Scripture and the Dead Scripture..." Seeing Cai Lin's confidence, Josie didn't try to dissuade her further. Things were different now. With the Dragon Emperor as his backer, plus the many legendary items and resources in the God and Demon Legend universe, he could no longer easily control Cai Lin. However, he was still very interested in these two famous scriptures, or more precisely, magic books.

“It’s all ready. These two are replicas. I’ve already had someone test them. Although they don’t have the divine power amplification of the originals, most of the spells on them can be used even with ordinary magic power!” Cai Lin traded two prepared books to Qiao Xi, but they were not the originals.

Indeed, it would be rather strange if Chae Rim were willing to trade the two scriptures directly to Josie after learning of their miraculous properties.

Although Josie was somewhat dissatisfied with this, she ultimately did not say anything.

After all, the jade record he traded to the other party was just a rubbing.

Undoubtedly, although Josie has received a substantial return on his initial investment, his relationship with Chae Rim is considerably less close compared to that of the other wise figures in the early days, such as Daenerys and Yuri.

As the number of trading partners increases, this situation will only become more frequent in the future.

I glanced at the system; there were less than two months left until the next dimensional beacon was generated.

However, compared to that, he is more concerned about something else now, which is that Margot is about to give birth.

Given his current situation, he's really hesitant to go back.

What if the perpetrators didn't completely clean up their tracks and were tracked down to Europe by the Ancient One or Odin?

But no matter how worried I am, I still have to go back.

After lingering in Chennai for another week, Josie finally couldn't bear the thought of home any longer and, hoping for the best, returned to Europe.

Margot gave birth just three days after he returned to Neuschwanstein Castle.

This time it wasn't twins, but a big, healthy boy.

Ben Kahn, that's the kid's name.

During this process and for some time afterward, no uninvited guests came to visit, which gradually put Josie at ease, allowing her to focus on staying home with her wife and children.

Two months passed, and the day arrived when the new dimensional beacon was refreshed.

As usual, with the time approaching, Josie locked herself in her study.

Soon, as the time came, the system began to display that it was searching for a new dimension.

This time, the speed was faster than expected; the search was completed in just a few seconds.

But as the grotesque mechanical face appeared on the screen, Josie frowned deeply!

"What is this thing? A dimensional trading system? And the trading partner is a human crawler?" the mechanical face said in a hoarse, vicious voice, with an extremely disdainful tone.

"You are... a Cybertronian?" Looking at the mechanical face opposite him, Josie couldn't help but feel a vague sense of familiarity.

"Huh? You little reptile actually know about Cybertron? Hahahaha, not bad. Standing before you is none other than the most powerful Cybertronian king in the entire universe, Starscream! Submit to me, little reptile, and perhaps I'll reward you with something in my good mood!" the mechanical-faced man said arrogantly.

Good grief, this time he's been matched with Starscream from the Transformers universe... but the King of Cybertron? Did this guy really succeed in taking over, or is he just bragging?

Josie was extremely skeptical of Red Spider's words.

Chapter 226 Transaction Conditions

Looking at the Red Spider on the other side of the screen, Josie frowned slightly.

It wasn't because of the other party's arrogance, but because he was thinking about which series and era this Starscream belonged to.

Because of the opponent's current appearance, Josie had never seen it before. The entire body was thin and slender, completely unlike the Earth-oriented fighter jets in movies and anime.

Its overall image is more similar to the Fallen from Transformers 2 in the movie universe.

Wait, The Fallen?

Thinking of the movie series, Josie suddenly remembered that in the first Transformers movie, the Autobots had just landed on Earth and hadn't yet been scanned in their vehicle form, which looked extremely similar to Starscream in front of her.

In other words, the opponent is most likely Starscream from the movie, but the current situation is that the opponent may not have gone to Earth yet, so the F-22 vehicle mode from the movie does not exist.

This is why Josie didn't recognize the other person until they introduced themselves.

"Red Spider, Red Spider, you're so arrogant, does Megatron know?" After making a guess, Josie asked tentatively, feigning disdain.

"Hmm? You insignificant reptile, how do you know about Megatron?" Upon hearing the name Megatron, Starscream's arrogant expression froze, and he asked angrily. But as soon as he finished speaking, he calmed down, his expression becoming frivolous and disdainful. "Heh, it doesn't matter where you heard this name from. Megatron has been missing for tens of thousands of years, so I call the shots on Cybertron!"

Yes, this instantaneous change in expression is indeed very much in line with Starscream's style.

However, Megatron has been missing for tens of thousands of years... Heh, that's right.

"Oh, really? I just don't know, do you dare say that Cybertronian is your decision, in front of the Fallen or Shockwave!" Josie stroked her chin and questioned again.

"Damn reptile, are you provoking me? Believe me or not, I'll send someone to Earth right now to tear you to pieces!" Upon hearing Josie's words, Red Spider flew into a rage and immediately threatened her. However, after saying that, he realized his threat was problematic after seeing Josie's expression as if she were looking at an idiot.

If the information transmitted when this dimensional trading device bound itself to it was true, then the human in front of it was not from the same universe as itself. Even if it blew up Earth in its own universe, it would have nothing to do with the other party.

"Hmph, human, if you beg for mercy, I might forgive your offense... Hmph, otherwise don't even think about trading anything with me!" Although she realized she had made a foolish mistake, Red Spider would never apologize to a lowly human, let alone trade. Red Spider didn't think that Josie, a seemingly ordinary human, could have anything that she would covet.

However, what he didn't know was that Josh had already obtained the information he wanted from just a few probing questions and answers.

That's right, the world Starscream lives in is undoubtedly the Transformers cinematic universe.

Moreover, although Megatron is missing, there is still Shockwave, the highest military commander of Cybertron.

So even though Starscream has been acting as the Decepticon leader for the past ten thousand years since Megatron disappeared, and is also known as Starscream the Great (Starscream is a name given by older artists, neither a transliteration nor a translation, just like Optimus Prime and Megatron, while Starscream is a translation), he is actually not as capable of acting unilaterally as Megatron—even though he led the Decepticons to completely defeat the Autobots for the past ten thousand years.

Not to mention the Fallen King who has been hiding in the shadows all along.

It can be said that Josie's two seemingly simple questions actually hit Starscream's sore spot, which is why Starscream revealed enough information in a fit of rage.

However, while stimulating the Red Spider to obtain the information he wanted, Josie would not forget the most important meaning of the trading platform.

However, seeing Red Spider's stubborn attitude, Josie knew that this goofball wouldn't give in unless she offered some real evidence.

So he placed a jar of vibranium on the trading frame for the other party to see.
