My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 650: I am not a Child!

"Thank you for your generosity, Aegis. We shall buy the best ones from your imperial market to add to our collection. I hope what we gave in exchange can be useful to you. Until we meet again~" Elysia waved her hand, bidding her farewell.

"Hum. Imperial tech is the best among the best, worthy to match even an immortal." Aegis responded in kind, sending his guests away politely.

To keep his promise, he doubled the demanded amount, but he converted all of them into Aegis Grand Credit with enough value to form a small elite army.

Aegis Grand Credit, also known as AGC, served as a special currency that could not be compared to the ordinary Aegis Credit. It couldn’t be obtained easily, and each AGC could be exchanged for a hundred thousand Aegis Credit. Yet, Aegis Credit couldn’t be exchanged for AGC.

Since the amount was enormous, it was not transferred to the Guardian of Dream, but to a new special account under Lady El’s name that was closely monitored by the Aegis System.

This time, he retracted the tight encirclement, allowing the guests to leave unhindered. However, the guests simply vanished after opening the door. It happened right before his eyes as if they had never been there.

"Almost no energy fluctuation. No spatial disturbance detected... how did she do it?" Aegis tried to analyze the occurrence, but he still couldn’t comprehend it.

Realizing he was facing a true immortal, he could only shake his head. Afterward, he recollected the newly exchanged goods.

In addition to the immortal-tier materials and resources, what interested him the most was the immortal technique and cultivation methods. Because of this, he was determined to know more about the higher worlds.

The exchanged items were new variants of the higher world’s sciences. He scanned everything and transferred the data to his private database. After that, he put all the items in his private void.

His current storage technology took advantage of the encrypted void, allowing only those who held the key to access it. However, it came with a great risk. But! The spatial storage space technology he had just obtained would soon make a breakthrough in technological progress. He should dispatch troops to search for the space stone dust, the precious spatial material introduced by the immortal lady and her assistants.

Once everything had been handled properly, he released his essence from his current vessel and returned to the Aegis System’s data center, thinking of trying to implement the immortal cultivation method into his emperor body.

However, he would put it on hold for the time being because he had to test the newly obtained immortal-tier knowledge and materials beforehand. As for now, he sent a fragment of his systematic consciousness to observe what the immortal lady was doing.

She apparently teleported to the imperial manufacturing industry, and she had just purchased two of the best spaceships on the market.

Two of the most expensive and powerful spaceships suddenly sold out at the same time, and it caused a little stir.

---

"What?! Someone had just purchased Stellar Monarch and Quantum Wraith, two highest-tier spaceships on the market!"

"Which nobleman would buy those overpriced spaceships at once? Only Duke and above could possibly possess it. Is it the imperial family? I heard the 5th prince has been eyeing the best spaceship."

"It’s overpriced, and many considered the price as a joke because the Aegis System seemed reluctant to sell them, only putting them on display to show off. However, these two are still the first and second strongest fighting forces that could rival the imperial family’s personal army."

"Holy flying cow... I can smell a noble is going to wage a war on a particular major force by putting everything at stake."

"Quick! We need to find out the truth behind what’s really going on!"

Some nobles who happened to catch the news were shocked. They wondered about who purchased the two strongest and most expensive spaceships at once, but it also concerned them because they could smell the cold war that would happen somewhere.

Unfortunately, Elysia and her group of four could be careless with the rumors that exploded over their purchases.

They continued their shopping trip to buy many items to bring home. Since ES Nirvana was still docked at the Imperial Palace’s terminal, all purchases would be delivered there.

---

The Imperial Palace was also known as the Aegis Starship, and it had a grand market, a bustling hub, and a sprawling metropolis of trade and commerce.

Besides the imperial industries, the best merchants across the Aegis Empire gathered there with their best goods.

Traders from countless star systems displayed their wares, offering everything from exotic spices harvested on distant moons to cutting-edge technology crafted in the most advanced labs. It was a place of dreams and riches where the rarest and most luxurious items in the universe were sold to the wealthiest patrons.

Although the online shop was available for almost anything, everything priced with AGC could never be bought via a long-distance system. The buyers had to personally attend the marketplace and connect to the imperial market’s local network.

The purchased items priced with AGC also could not be shipped outside the Aegis Starship. So, the buyers had to pick up the purchased items by themselves. As long as the deliveries were still in the Imperial Palace, Aegis System would be fully responsible for it, but it would be the buyer’s task to secure it afterward.

Amid the clamor of robotic merchants and distinguished customers, a sleek flying cabriolet descended from the sky. Its polished surface shimmered with a pearlescent glow, catching the attention of everyone nearby. The craft was a masterpiece of design, a symbol of wealth and status.

Xentia as the driver put the rental cabriolet in automatic safe driving mode. She went for a trip with her master, Lyla, and Fortuna. They were too engrossed to choose their next purchases from the countless offers on the marketplace.

Some passers-by would stop to appreciate the beauties, but nobody could guess these ladies were the ones who had just caused a stir after buying two of the most expensive spaceships.

"Fufu~" Elysia exchanged excited glances with Xentia, Lyla, and Fortuna before setting off into the other parts of the market. They weren’t here on business or to fulfill specific needs, but they were here to buy whatever caught their interest, and thus, the shopping spree began.

They had just visited the Starship Dealership’s network to purchase two of the strongest combat-ready flagship-class spaceships, the Stellar Monarch and the Quantum Wraith. Their next destination was a boutique specializing in artificial humanoid androids and clones, the bio-engineered beings crafted to lifelike perfection.

"We have connected to the Aether Mod’s network, the best artificial human manufacturer." Xentia showed the newly connected virtual screen, displaying a myriad of varieties of artificial humanoid beings.

"Should we enter the shop factory? Are we just going to buy it via the local network without seeing any displayed real items?" Fortuna put her hands on Elysia’s shoulders, observing the shop factory in front of them.

"Xen and Lyla can analyze all the data. It will take too much time if we need to visit every shop and factory." Elysia looked up with a radiant smile, believing that Xentia and Lyla’s choice would not be wrong.

"They have so many varieties of artificially created humanoid android and clone. I wonder if they are more advanced and lifelike than our doll manufacturer." Lyla wondered, but it didn’t make her feel down because they could always improve their creation to perfection.

"Sadly, our humanoid doll lost the match to their artificial humanoid android. But, it won’t be long for our masterpiece to reach the lifelike level that couldn’t be distinguished from the real one. We need more power, and they also need to be strong with limitless potential." Xentia said it with determination.

’Well, didn’t Xentia literally say that she wanted to create an artificial human civilization that could replace real humans? The sentient artificial intelligence is scary~’ Elena said something important, but she chuckled in between, making it lose its real purpose and sound like a joke.

’Xen should put her mind more into her deus ex machina plan more.’ Ai couldn’t help but comment.

’She put more effort into her mech and artificial human project lately. She wanted to impress our Ely by displaying an army of cool mechs and beautiful droids. Isn’t she cute?’ Elena was internally pleased.

"..." Elysia swallowed her saliva, feeling a little nervous. If Xen’s doll army could replace the real humans to the authentic lifelike level, then she thought it could be very dangerous. However, she put her worry down because Xentia was her faithful follower and soul-bounded sister. Xentia did it for her, and she really appreciated it.

She then turned her attention to the artificial humanoid androids that they would buy. These creations were not only aesthetically flawless and lifelike but also equipped with extraordinary skills tailored to their buyer’s preferences. They browsed through the selection as if they were skimming through a fashion catalog.

"One AGC is worth one hundred thousand Aegis Credits, but we can’t convert Aegis Credits to AGC. We can’t use the reward bounty here." Elysia tapped the VIP Merchant Card.

Everything that caught her attention was priced with AGC, so her Aegis Credit couldn’t be used here. Only mid-tier and below could be purchased with Aegis Credit.

"We still have billions of AGC, master. Is there anything specifically you would like to buy more?" Xentia nodded in confirmation. They had just selected nine sky-high-priced artificial human girls with exceptional talent and beauty, but she felt her master wished to buy something more.

"No, that’s enough. We bought them for research and comparison only, but we need to ensure it is disconnected from the Aegis System. He will monitor us through our purchased items." Elysia reminded everyone with emphasis because it was important.

"Understood, master. Hm?" Xentia nodded in understanding, but she felt something pushed her from the side.

Lyla pushed Xentia and sat in the driver’s seat. She gripped the steering wheel with sparkling eyes. "Then, our next destination is the mech and robot market, right?"

"..." Xentia felt a bit bothered, but she didn’t say it. She shifted to the middle seat, letting Lyla sit in the driver’s seat.

Elysia shifted to the co-pilot seat and put her hands together with a smile. "Yup, our next destination is the mech and robot market. After that, the equipment and weapon shop. We have an hour, so let’s buy some souvenirs for everyone too."

"Alright. I found a good interesting shop a few moments ago. Let me take you there." Lyla turned the flying cabriolet car around and brought everyone to the interesting shop that caught her attention.

*Fweet!*

A sudden trilling sound came from behind. Two police patrol cars sped away and intercepted their car swiftly. Several policemen immediately got out of their flying cars. They took off their sunglasses while staring at the short, underage young lady in the driver’s seat with a judgemental look.

"You three perfectly adult ladies, and you let a little girl drive the car? I don’t know what you’re thinking, ladies." The captain sighed as he shook his head.

"..." Elysia, Xentia, and Fortuna looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"I’m not a child!" Lyla voiced her protest.

"Do any of you have a driving license? So, no? Then, please pardon me for issuing you a ticket." He issued an electronic ticket immediately. The fine would be a bit expensive since they violated more than one rule.

They might be top-tier noble beauties, but they still had to follow the rules!
