Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 53 The Underground Black Market
Following Teska's footsteps, Karl returned to the station in D-3 area again.

Looking at the familiar surface structure in the station, he felt as if he had passed away.

Carl, who was eating oil cakes here a few days ago, is almost completely different from the current him in terms of momentum.

Looking at the oil cakes whose price had doubled, Carl suddenly thought of Petronilla who was still "on vacation" in the hotel at this time.

(Oh, by the way, I don't know what happened to Petronilla. After checking the goods, take her back to the bottom nest first.)
After gradually discovering that there was no need to use the characteristic card bug of the untouchable, Karl had a new arrangement for Petronilla.

After all, he is still clear about the strength of the Battle Sisters.

Petronilla, who has a natural subspace resistance, has great potential in his opinion.

(Let Redbeard teach her to fight then.)
While Carl was thinking about the layout, Teska also brought Carl to the "employee channel".

Seeing that it was Teska, the security guard at the door immediately got up to greet him.

After being sent to the door of the black market with a flashlight by the security guard, a brand new world slowly opened up in front of Karl.

In fact, Karl's guess was not wrong before, this underground space can indeed compete with the top of the station.

Looking at the "dazzling" variety of commodities in front of him, a bold plan gradually emerged in his mind.

(Maybe I can turn the hive into a spaceship?)

Of course, at the moment when this idea was born, he even surprised himself.

But after carefully reviewing it several times, he was extremely convinced that it was not a joke.

Using these existing structures to rebuild a spaceship will be much faster than building a new spaceship yourself.

The most critical issues of lift-off and structural strength are a piece of cake (technically feasible) in Carl's eyes.

But there is still a problem here --- navigation.

Karl had thought of running away before, but he got stuck on the navigation as well.

Losing the guidance of the Astronomical Torch, rushing into the subspace is almost like committing suicide.

As for the special navigation methods of those spirit races and space necrons, he is still unable to imitate them.

Therefore, even if he can make a huge spaceship, its maximum function is estimated to be just a large fixed fort.

As long as the navigation problem cannot be solved for a day, he will be stuck on Frank III for a day.

However, there is an exception here. If the situation is really irreversible, Karl also imagined that he would be full of perfect luck, and then immediately jump into the subspace to make a last-ditch effort.

But in any case, one more spaceship is one more way for him.

(Don't wait until you have no other choice to fight for your life!)

Of course, this is a bit far-fetched, after all, he hasn't even touched the shadow of the spaceship yet.

Building a spaceship is definitely an extremely huge project, especially the behemoth created by Carl's brain, which is "a waste of time and money".

However, he firmly believes that as long as he builds it brick by brick, one day he will add a new "Mountain Array" to the human empire.

Just do it, and after saving the design drawing in his mind, Carl started the big purchase mode.

(Anyway, the account is charged to Teska, so I won't knock it hard.)
(In two days, we will all be a family, so what is the difference between you and me?)
So Karl spent Tesca's money, and it didn't feel bad at all.

Reinforcement material, buy!

Planting aids, buy!
Small Geller force field engine, bought in advance!
Thus a world in which only Tesca's wallet was injured was achieved.

Teska, who has lost a lot of money, really wants to write down his previous debts at this moment, and give himself a big pocket for booking the venue.

Good guy, I said that it’s enough to let you make fun of the treats. What do you mean by telling the store to reserve the venue directly?
But Teska is also one who dares to be angry and dare not speak out.

After all, the bolt gun in Redbeard's hand is no joke with Tesca.

So along the way, Tesla maxed out one card after another.

Fortunately, these gadgets are only a little bigger.

In addition to weapons, the price is also within the acceptable range of Tesla.

It took less than 1 million francs for Karl to go around and go around for a full circle.

This is not because Karl is generous, but because most of the parts are useless to Karl.

So in line with the idea of ​​"Anyway, these are my money in the future, so don't waste too much", Carl still gave Tesca a little life during the whole process of shopping.

But at the end of the happy purchase, a power engine firmly caught Karl's attention.

It's not about how powerful this engine is, but because the design of this engine has not been recorded in Karl's Mechanical Codex.

This opened Carl's horizons.

Carl never dreamed that he would encounter design solutions he had never seen before in this small black market.

So, curious Carl decided to ask the boss where the engine came from.

"Ah, you asked about this engine. This is an old guy. It comes from a half-hive world called 63-19. I heard that this special output matrix is ​​called the Cruz matrix. It It’s 8% more powerful than a normal engine!”

Hearing the bragging of the boss, Carl was suddenly stunned.

(Did that really change history, or is history just like this?)
Touching the cold and angular commemorative badge of the 63-19 campaign in his pocket, Karl thought about it.

(The seeds of hope planted unintentionally will bloom like fireworks in the future?)

Faced with the Emperor's riddle, this time he did not come up with a suitable answer.

Based on the available information, a set of logic gradually emerged in his mind.

The key to this logical closed loop is that Karl is no longer facing a "dead end" in the dark side of a 40k empire.

The history that he personally witnessed will be permanently frozen in the universe.

This may be the real reason why the Emperor valued him.

Of course, this is just a guess, and he still doesn't quite understand the specific purpose of the emperor's doing these things.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar engine in front of him, Karl felt mixed feelings.

(Will I be that blooming firework?)

However, in the noisy market, no one cared about his thoughts.

Looking at the boss who turned around and continued to introduce the product to others, Karl finally spoke.

"I want this engine."

"Okay, 20 francs sincerity."

Seeing that someone bought this old guy, the boss was naturally very happy.

After all, the price of food has been getting higher and higher recently, even the owner of an engine shop specializing in black business is a little bit overwhelmed.

Looking at the boss who immediately closed the door to buy food after packing the engine, Karl fell into deep thought.
