American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

Yuri disagreed with the bearded man starting the war back then. The culprit who instigated the bearded man to start the war and dragged the Soviet Union into the abyss of defeat was the bearded man's mysterious advisor, who is now Kane in the incubation pod.

How could Yuri, a staunch supporter and admirer of the bearded man, not hate Kane?

Yuri's revenge in Red Alert 2 wasn't for his own personal vendetta, but for the defeat and death of the bearded man, and the first annihilation of the Soviet Union.

"Congratulations! You've finally gotten your revenge!" Knowing the details, Qiao Xi offered her congratulations at the opportune moment.

"I still have to thank you. If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have encountered such a big fish!" Yuri said with considerable emotion. "So, are you interested?"

“Speaking of this Kane, what’s so special about him? He can’t really be Cain, can he? And what exactly is this so-called Advent Children project?” Josie couldn’t help but ask.

“He is indeed very special. Although he looks about the same age as me, according to what I have collected and the information held by the Rising Sun Empire, he has lived for at least several centuries and has superhuman physical strength and combat power. This Advent Child Project is actually the same as the Yuriko Project, both of which are human enhancement projects. The only difference is that the Yuriko Project is about replication, while the Advent Child Project is about gene transplantation!” Yuri explained.

"Gene transplantation? Why not clone her like Yuriko?" Josie asked, puzzled.

“Because it cannot be cloned. Unlike Yuriko, who only has strong mental abilities and whose physical genes are not much different from humans and are relatively easy to clone, Kane, although he also has some mental abilities, is essentially a genetic enhancer. His genes are very special. Not only can the technology of the Rising Sun Empire not clone him, but I also tried before, and it didn’t work either. Basically, the clone would start to collapse in the early stage,” Yuri said, shaking his head.

"But transplantation is possible?" Josie asked curiously.

"That's right. Although cloning is not possible, the Rising Sun Empire has discovered that by mixing his genes with a substance from Tiberium crystal, there is a certain success rate in transplanting his genes into ordinary people, giving them superhuman strength. I've verified its effectiveness, and it's far more powerful than our super soldier serum. If the members of the priesthood hadn't been equipped with vibranium weapons, they might have suffered considerable losses in this operation. And there's another special benefit that I believe might exist..."

"Live a long time?" Josie asked tentatively.

“That’s right!” Yuri confirmed. “It’s just that the earliest successful transplantation was only three years ago, so it can’t be fully verified yet.”

"...It sounds wonderful, but I estimate that the success rate is somewhat low, probably not high at all?" Josie said with a half-smile.

“Haha, you guessed right. Just like the original super soldier serum, the success rate of this transplant is terrifyingly low, about one in ten thousand. And I don’t know if it’s because Kane is white, but almost all the successful test subjects are also white. One of them, Claude, was able to adapt to Kane’s genes almost perfectly.” Yuri nodded to confirm. “That’s why, after the Rising Sun Empire launched the war, it captured a large number of white people from various countries as test subjects—especially Jews. Tsk tsk tsk, you didn’t see the scene.”

"I didn't see it, but I can imagine it!"

Upon hearing Yuri mention this, Josie immediately recalled Japan's actions during World War II, and a cold look appeared on her face.

"By the way, let me tell you something else. I lost more than twenty nuclear bombs in the Rising Sun Empire... all of them were high-yield ones. But that's the limit. Any more and not only would we lose a few islands, but it would also affect the surrounding areas." Seeing Josie's expression, Yuri said at the right time.

"Really? That's the best news I've heard all day!" Josie immediately became interested when she heard Yuri say that twenty high-yield nuclear bombs had been dropped.

"Hahaha, I knew you'd like this. I'll trade you the video footage later," Yuri laughed.

It's fair to say that Josie and Yuri are both exceptionally happy today because of what happened in the Red Alert world.

"But seriously, you need to be careful with this Tiberium mine, or the consequences could be dire... This thing shouldn't have been leaked yet, right?" After finishing the happy news, Josie returned to the group, her gaze towards the Tiberium crystal filled with worry.

"The bad news is that it has indeed been leaked, but there's also good news: its spread is not extensive, it's still limited to the Rising Sun Empire's territory, and my act of dropping the nuclear bomb has, to some extent, suppressed its spread—the environment after the nuclear explosion has reduced its vitality to the extreme. In addition, the Rising Sun Empire has developed some methods to detect and control it, and after I upgrade and research them, I should be able to control it!" Yuri said indifferently after hearing Josie's words.

However, Josie could still see a hint of hesitation on Yuri's face.

Clearly, the crisis of Tiberian mineral proliferation is probably not as simple as Yuri claims.

“Actually, there’s no need to worry too much. With your help, I’ve already mastered long-range space travel capabilities. Even if we really can’t stop the spread of Tiberium, I have enough time to build new human settlements on the moon or Mars, or even discover new planets suitable for human habitation.” Yuri added, showing that he was quite optimistic about the matter.

Josie agreed. With the continuous application of Cybertronian technology, their technological level was already sufficient for preliminary interstellar migration. However, due to the lack of planet terraforming technology, such early interstellar migration would be very costly and not very comfortable.

But survival is still not a problem.

From the start of Tiberium's spread to the complete destruction of the environment, it will take at least seventy or eighty years, enough time for Yuri to do a lot.

If all else fails, there's still the trading system, where Josie can help with dimensional migration, right?

"By the way, we've been talking about my business, but I haven't asked you why you came to see me!" Yuri asked Josie after finishing his own story.

“I’ve discovered a new dimension, a dimension with extraordinary potential. However, my trading partner is currently facing a small problem, so I need to borrow a few people from you… the absolutely reliable kind!” Josie said, carefully explaining the Star Wars dimension and Anakin’s situation.

Chapter 245 The Arrival of the Jedi

The following day, a small group of identically dressed humans appeared on the planet Tatooine, Mos Espa, the city where Anakin Skywalker was based.

The guards in the city only glanced at it briefly and didn't pay much attention to it.

Because Tatooine, under the control of the Hutts, was a chaotic free trade port where you could basically buy anything if you had money, including slavery, which had long been abolished in the Old Republic.

So any kind of person could appear here; a group of people dressed identically is nothing new.

Of course, the relatively chaotic security situation does not mean that there is no order at all. If anyone dares to cause trouble in Tatooine, the Hutts will make them know the consequences. Although they look like fat, gastropod animals, the Hutts are one of the earliest races in the Star Wars universe to master interstellar travel technology and were able to establish the Hutt Space (Imperial) on par with the Republic, which is enough to demonstrate the powerful foundation of this race.

Even Jedi Knights don't want to easily offend the Hutts.

This is why, when Qui-Gon Jinn and his crew crash-landed on Tatooine, despite their dire situation, they had no choice but to follow the rules and couldn't even take a single slave (Anakin's mother) with them.

However, this group of humans seemed to have a clear purpose. After entering the city, they did not wander around the streets, but went straight to the west of the city.

Because of the harsh environment and relatively scarce resources on Tatooine, Mos Espa appears very backward. All the houses are dome-shaped earthen and stone buildings. Walking down the street, if it weren't for the various aliens, robots, and different kinds of hovering or flying vehicles that you would hardly believe that this is an interstellar metropolis rather than a small town in the Middle East.

Soon, the group of humans stopped in front of a small house in the west of the city.

This is an interstellar general store that sells and buys all kinds of used mechanical parts.

As soon as the first humans stepped into the shop, a strange-looking creature with a short, stout build, blue skin, rough teeth, and rapidly flapping small wings flew over.

This is the owner of this grocery store, Wotu, a Toidarian, a sociable and business-savvy race with a keen business sense. In the Star Wars universe, they are somewhat similar to the goblins of Azeroth, but not as greedy for money.

"Hello, what would you like to buy?" Wotu was very excited to have business coming in so early in the morning.

However, at this moment, Wotu did not notice that in the warehouse not far behind him, a small head was cautiously peeking in his direction.

The owner of this small head is none other than Anakin Skywalker, and Wotu is the owner of the slave contract between Anakin Skywalker and his mother, Smy Skywalker.

The humans who suddenly appeared in this small group were undoubtedly the tools that Josie had traded to Anakin beforehand and who had undergone Yuri's special brainwashing course.

However, even though they are tools, it doesn't mean they have no thinking ability.

In fact, aside from their loyalty to Yuri, their thinking is not much different from that of normal humans, which is what makes Yuri's mind control so terrifying.

These people are not just ordinary people. The team leader is skilled in business negotiations, and the others are extremely talented enhanced warriors.

“All of them!” said the leader of the tools.

"What?" Upon hearing the words of the tool leader, Wotu was stunned. His little brain couldn't process the huge amount of information contained in those two short words for a moment.

"I said, I want everything! The goods in your shop, and your shop!" the tool leader said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, guest, don't joke with me like that. Do you know how much my shop and the things in it are worth?" Wotu laughed loudly.

However, the leader of the "tools" didn't waste any words. He simply gestured backward, and two "tools" stepped forward, took out two heavy leather bags from their bodies, and threw them onto the counter.

Wotu fell silent. Good heavens, judging from the size of the bag and the clanging of metal inside, there was a lot of money in there. Were these strange humans serious?

"Can I open it and take a look?" Wotu asked the tool leader after a moment's hesitation.

"Please do as you please!" The tool-man leader shrugged indifferently.

Having received permission, Wotu rubbed his hands together, flew to the bag, and opened it—holy crap, that was flashy.

It's all gold inside.

With Wotu's discerning eye, he could tell at a glance that it was all pure gold.

"How is it?" the tool asked with a smile when he saw Wotu covering his eyes.

"Although there are quite a few, it's still not enough!" Wotu said, closing the bag and his eyes darting around.

Of course, this was an exorbitant price; in reality, the money in those two large bags was enough to buy his shop twice over.

"Oh, greed is not a good habit. In that case, forget it!" Seeing this, the leader of the tools raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and signaled his subordinates to take the money away.

"Deal! Deal!" Wotu hurriedly said upon seeing this. Damn it, with this large sum of money, he could open a bigger shop in another place. How could he miss it?

"A wise decision!" The leader of the tools nodded in satisfaction and dismissed his men.

Soon, the two parties signed a sales agreement.

"Anakin, Schmied, we should go!" After signing the sales agreement, Wotu put the money into the safe, which was guarded by two armed robots, and then shouted to the back of the shop.

“Wait, Mr. Wotu, I think you’ve overlooked something!” The leader of the tools stopped Wotu.

"What?" Wotu asked, puzzled.

“No, but remember? I said I wanted to buy everything in the shop—including your slaves, so this child and this woman are mine too!” the tool leader emphasized.

"What? This isn't right! These aren't my store's goods!" Upon hearing this, Wotu immediately objected.

"...Mr. Wotu seems to have forgotten that in Tatooine, slaves are goods, and naturally fall under the contract...How about we take this to the Trade Commission for a lawsuit?" the tool man said with a smile.

"..." Wotu was stunned. This was true. In the Republic, the slave trade was prohibited, but in Tatooine, slaves were indeed included in the goods. It was just that Wotu had never experienced a proper slave trade before—Anakin and his mother were won by him from Jabba the Hutt, the local gang leader, through a car race, not bought.

So, I was tricked for no reason?

The Toidarians, who are skilled at business, were actually exploited by a human during a transaction; if word got out, they would be laughed at.

Fortunately, Wotu still made a profit on this deal. After all, the price of two human slaves wasn't very high. Even though a loophole in the transaction was inexplicably exploited, he still made a big profit.

However, the feeling of being tricked was really upsetting for Wotu.

“Alright, you win… Schmied, Anakin, from now on this gentleman will be your new master.” After a moment of silence, Wotu said with a hint of helplessness to Anakin, whose face showed a slight excitement, and to Schmied, who looked terrified at the prospect of having a new master.

Knowing that he couldn't win the case even if it went all the way to the Mos Espa Trade Commission, Wotu had no choice but to accept the fact that Anakin and his mother no longer belonged to him—although Tatooine was a lawless place, normal transactions were absolutely protected.

At least in the city, there is still some security.

Otherwise, if there were absolutely no guarantees, Tatooine wouldn't have become a well-known black market trading planet on the border between the Hutts and the Republic.

Of course, once you leave the city and the Hutts' jurisdiction, that's a different story.

However, judging from the attire of these humans, you can tell they are not to be trifled with.

So Wotu had no intention of causing trouble and could only leave dejectedly with the money—this was probably the business in his life where he made money but couldn't be happy.
