296: Second-hand trading store

“This… this is the Great Battlefield?”

Seeing the devastated scene before him, Xiao Yun's mind was filled with memories, memories of this world.

The Great Battlefield is a forbidden zone where countries compare their military strength.

Both official armies and civilian armed forces participate in it.

Once they enter the Great Battlefield, both sides have only one goal: to hold their line and constantly push forward.

As a forbidden zone born from some mysterious power, the Great Battlefield, like the Gold-Touching Forbidden Zone, allows agents who enter to revive after death; only their original injuries and psychological trauma suffered in the forbidden zone will remain.

What Xiao Yun had previously forgotten was a unique characteristic of the Great Battlefield forbidden zone.

It not only connects the real world and the forbidden zone world, but it even connects two real worlds!

This is like a wormhole; the spaces on both sides overlap due to the influence of the forbidden zone, and by passing from one end to the other, one can achieve the warp phenomenon that only a wormhole can achieve!

The desolation on the land before him was left behind when the enemy, having won the Great Battlefield, stepped onto Dragon Country territory at this nameless border in Haibei City!

People in the forbidden zone can revive after death, but not in reality.

Some images, whether from a meeting or imagination, or perhaps the wailing from this land, instantly filled Xiao Yun's mind.

“It’s a good thing Dragon Country’s overall strength has increased; in recent decades, we haven’t suffered any defeats.”

As if noticing the shock in Xiao Yun’s eyes, Liu Shihhan calmly explained.

“Oh, why do you suddenly have such a serious expression? Relax, everyone is doing well now, aren’t they?”

Liu Shihhan nudged him with her elbow, and Xiao Yun immediately came back to his senses.

Although beyond the barbed wire fences lay a scene of desolation, thankfully, the people around him lived in peace and contentment.

Pedestrians and vehicles constantly passed by on the road; everyone seemed to have grown accustomed to this unique border, and now it seemed only Xiao Yun cared about the scene before him.

“...This is my first time seeing such a sight.”

Xiao Yun rubbed his forehead, his expression extremely complex.

Logically, he should have known about these situations.

But why did these memories only now surface in his mind?

Xiao Yun felt a strange sensation; this situation seemed not to be the first time it had happened to him.

Every time he experienced a similar situation, he always felt a dull ache in his temple, as if suffering from a migraine, but normally he wouldn't have this feeling, so he just considered it a side effect of the memories of this world flooding into his mind all at once.

“Let’s go, we’ll go see what you want to buy.”

As if worried about Xiao Yun’s condition, Liu Shihhan quickly pulled Xiao Yun away from the place.

......

“Sisters, look, look! There’s a golden gazelle here! Isn’t this a big red material from the forbidden zone? How much must this cost?!”

“This boss has some serious connections; he can even get his hands on this kind of red material! If you put this in your home, relatives who visit during the New Year will kneel and bow three times!”

“Such valuable material, just left in a glass cabinet like that, aren’t they afraid someone will steal it?”

“Oh, don’t keep looking at things we can’t afford. Can’t we look at something cheaper? Like that 50,000-yuan Dior next to it…”

Xiao Yun followed Liu Shihhan to the second-hand shop.

At this moment, seeing the lively scene around him, Xiao Yun’s condition returned to normal.

“Xiao Yun, what material do you want to buy? I’ll help you ask.”

Liu Shihhan walked ahead, holding Xiao Yun’s left hand; he had been absent-minded the whole way, and she had literally dragged him there.

“I…”

“Oh! Liu Miss, a rare guest, a rare guest!”

Before Xiao Yun could answer, the boss behind the counter immediately recognized Liu Shihhan.

This was a middle-aged man, with a weathered appearance, but his hair was dyed an exaggerated blonde, and he sat behind the counter like a large gold statue, making people chuckle.

“Liu Miss, what are you looking for this time? A dress? Or a bag? I’ve recently received some high-end custom pieces, all good items previously rented by celebrities and big shots. Would you like to take a look?”

The blonde uncle spoke enthusiastically, but his feet did not move an inch from behind the counter.

Normally, if a valuable customer came to the shop, the boss would surely be excited and rush forward to greet them, but this uncle’s behavior was a bit strange.

Xiao Yun was puzzled, and when he walked to the counter, he realized that the boss was not sitting on a chair.

On the contrary, he could be said to be “standing” on the chair.

However, beneath him, his legs were missing; clearly, this was an unfortunate person who, due to some unknown condition, had actively or passively chosen amputation.

“Boss, your legs…”

As if affected by the scene just now, Xiao Yun blurted out an untimely question.

“Xiao Yun, let’s just buy what we need.”

Liu Shihhan gave Xiao Yun a slightly reproachful look, afraid he would say the wrong thing and displease the boss.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun awkwardly scratched his head.

Actually, he hadn’t intended to ask that question at all; perhaps the previous scenery and the suddenly emerging memories had affected him too much, causing him to ask that untimely question.

“What do you two want? I have everything here, you know, Liu Miss, many celebrities and wealthy people specifically come to our shop.”

Perhaps Xiao Yun’s voice was too low, or the boss simply didn’t care, but the blonde middle-aged man smiled, not holding Xiao Yun’s previous offense against him.

“I want some red materials from the forbidden zone, collector’s items.”

Xiao Yun scratched his head, still a bit embarrassed as he asked.

“Red materials, yes! Which specific one do you want? Oh, Liu Miss, you’ve recommended a big client to me!”

Upon hearing Xiao Yun’s request, the boss immediately became excited, and at the same time, looked at Liu Shihhan beside him with great enthusiasm.

Although the Xiao Yun before him looked young and handsome, the boss had originally thought he was some kept man of Liu Shihhan, as most of the wealthy people he had encountered behaved this way.

However, what he hadn’t expected was that this Xiao Yun, despite his appearance, was actually a big client!

Although his accent was local to Haibei City, with so many celebrities and wealthy people in the world, and the internet being so developed now, the boss felt it was normal that he hadn't recognized him.

“I want some Seyid’s Pocket Watch.”

Xiao Yun didn't waste words, stating calmly.

“Okay, Seyid’s Pocket Watch, I have… Wait, how many did you say? Some?”

Upon hearing this quantifier, a trace of disbelief flashed across the boss’s face.
