Chapter 673 Off-field Aid
"Extend life?"

Salih was stunned for a moment, and then combined with Amber's words just now, she suddenly thought of an answer.

"You want to get the 'Eternal Cell' so you plan to sneak into the Grand Palace of the Star Dragon Empire?"

"Yes, it seems that the connection effect of 'Spirit Shackles' does have some positive effects."

Amber nodded with satisfaction, and then continued:

"I thought about it. With the technological level of this known area of ​​the universe, if I want to significantly extend my lifespan to resist the side effects of 'time-space afterimages', my only hope is the 'eternal cells' taken away by the royal family of the Star Dragon Empire."

After hearing what Amber said, Saleh thought quickly, then frowned and said, "But the risk of this thing being uncontrollable is too high. Even I don't know what will happen if it is used on humans."

"Just think of me as a desperate man trying anything possible. After all, I can't think of any other solution." Amber shrugged helplessly. Just as he said, if there were any other ways, he would not have set his sights on the extremely risky 'eternal cells'.

"Okay, even if the 'Eternal Cells' really work, the question now is how are you going to get this thing?" Saleh looked up at Amber, "Based on what I've learned recently, the Grand Palace of the Star Dragon Empire is not a good place to go. The defenses there are already very tight, and even high-level psychics can't sneak in quietly."

"No, you are a Jeram, a forerunner, and a think tank steward. A human palace has stumped you?"

Amber's words contained three parts of doubt, three parts of disdain, three parts of surprise and one part of sarcasm, which made Salih's eyes twitch.

"We Jeram people are not gods, we also have to respect the laws of the universe, okay?"

Amber curled her lips: "You talk as if you are quite respectful. You always talk about genocide, galaxy reorganization, time and space expeditions."

"Wait. Time and space expedition time travel"

Saleh suddenly raised her hand to interrupt Amber and began to mutter to herself.

Seeing this, Amber, who realized that something might happen, also quieted down. She just watched Saleh finish his mumbling, and then suddenly summon a virtual screen and start to "create" rapidly.

After more than ten minutes, Saleh finally stopped what she was doing and raised her head again.

"I have found a way, but this method is also very risky. If the 'Time and Space Afterimage' suddenly affects your lifespan one day in the future, then this method means that you may say goodbye to this world as soon as you use it."

Humans are also curious creatures, so the more Salih said this, the more curious Amber became.

"So what exactly is this method you're talking about?" Amber couldn't help but ask.

"Find a way to build a tactical time shuttle."

"?"

Tactical, time, shuttle. When Amber heard these words combined together, she knew that she had heard some amazing technology from Saleh again.
-
"The materials on your list are not easy to get, Amber~"

In a king-size bed room of the 'Quiet Garden' armed cruise ship, looking at the list provided by Amber, the rich elf lady Alenita, who once claimed that 'there is nothing that money can't buy', now showed a rare look of difficulty.

"High-purity collapse fluid, psychic entanglement crystal..." "If it were easy to get, I wouldn't have come to bother you. It's not that I can't get it over there, so I came to your place to try my luck."

Amber looked so frivolous and playful that Ellenita shook her head and pinched his ear in anger.

Earlier, when Saleh proposed to build a "tactical time shuttle", Amber was indeed very curious about what this device, which he had never heard of in the game, was. As a result, after hearing Saleh's description, he had to sigh that the technological level of the Forerunner civilization was indeed far ahead.

Just as the name of this device literally means, after wearing this watch-shaped 'tactical time shuttle', the user can briefly travel through time and space and go to the 'past' and 'future' of the area where he is. However, due to factors such as the size of the device, the level of space-time fluctuations, and the quantum entanglement effect, only short-term travel of more than ten seconds to several minutes can be achieved.

That's why this thing is called 'tactical'.

It’s not that the Forerunners can’t build a larger device with a stronger time-travel effect, but when the scale of the device becomes larger, the instability of time travel will increase exponentially, and even a civilization as powerful as the Forerunners will not be able to control it.

Therefore, after experiencing the time disruption caused by several major experimental accidents, except for the civilization-level project "Time and Space Expedition", all other large-scale time and space travel device research was stopped, and the final output of the miniaturized and easy-to-manufacture "tactical time and space travel device" was not large.

Because this device also has requirements for the user, ordinary people cannot drive this device at all. Only people who carry the "time and space afterimage" can successfully drive it.
This kind of "official" situation finally made Amber determined to ask Saleh to make one and see.

The latter said on the spot that the manufacturing was not difficult, but many key materials were not easy to find in this universe where the Forerunner civilization had left for millions of years. In this case, Amber quickly thought of her other "off-field aid".

"So what do you want these things for?" Alanita looked through the list provided by Amber over and over again, but she still couldn't guess what Amber was going to do.

"Make a small device that can travel through time, and then use it to try to sneak into the Grand Palace of the Star Dragon Empire."

The more something is concealed, the easier it is to leak. In addition, she now needs help from Alanita, and many things cannot be kept secret forever, so Amber did not hide it any longer. She told the female elf about her current "life crisis" and the solution, and also revealed to her the existence of Saleh.

"Wait. You seem to have said something incredible, right? Amber, you are so brave, you told me directly?"

“That’s why I picked this time to tell you.”

As Amber spoke, she covered Ellenita's bare shoulders with an elf-style blanket.

"It just so happens that your assistants have all left, and the monitoring and warning equipment in the room have all been turned off. No, you don't have any strange habits, do you?"

"You have this weird habit!"

Ellenita's cheeks turned red with shame. She didn't care about letting Amber feast her eyes on her beauty and just swung her crystal-clear arm towards Amber's head.

However, in this kind of close combat, Ellenita was obviously no match for Amber. In a flash, she was restrained and fell on the bed with her hands raised and her buttocks raised. Then a warm body came up to her, and a heavy breathing sound accompanied by teasing words passed by her ears.

"Ms. Ellenita, you don't want me to die young, do you?"

"Hmph~ So when are you going to let me meet your little Forerunner girlfriend?"

"Advisor! Yes, advisor. What do you mean by 'little girlfriend'? She's much older than you. If you have something to say, just talk nicely and don't move your mouth! Hiss."
