Chapter 378 The Magical Shop
The golden dragons and phoenixes carved on the wall are so realistic, they seem like they're about to leap out of the wall at any moment.
They stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a word, their mouths watering.
After all, what they were seeing was beyond their comprehension; even in storybooks, they wouldn't dare to write something like this!
"To be honest, we actually have another identity: dimensional merchants. This is our dimensional shop."
Don't be afraid, everyone. It doesn't eat people. The things inside are all brought from the future.
"Everyone, stop standing there and come in and take a look!" Gu Xinyan explained with a smile when she saw them staring blankly.
The people: "........."
The soldiers: "........."
They were somewhat afraid of the moving house, but only a tiny bit.
The next second, curiosity took over, and before the mind could even process it, the feet had already made the decision for them.
So when I came to my senses again, I was already inside the store. The floor was clean and bright, and the rows and rows of shelves seemed to stretch on forever.
There were also transparent bridges connecting the various floors in the air, which made them feel as if they had traveled through time, to the future.
The scenes that were previously difficult to depict suddenly became clear to them with this reference point, making them realize that their vision of the future world was still lacking.
Looking around here, and then at my own dirty clothes and worn-out shoes covered in mud, I feel completely out of place.
The place was so beautiful that they hesitated to move around too much for fear of soiling it.
Perhaps sensing their unease, Gu Xinyan stepped forward and comforted them with a smile.
"Please feel free to look around. Don't worry about getting it dirty; the store has an automatic cleaning function. Even if it gets very dirty, it will clean itself up automatically."
So please feel free to shop around without any worries. Our store's first floor has all sorts of goods and food, including snacks, drinks, fruits and vegetables, seasonings, alcoholic beverages, and more.
The second floor is for clothing, with all sorts of beautiful clothes available for everyone to browse. It also sells various appliances, medicines, and more.
The third floor is the cafeteria, where robots cook various cuisines. If you get hungry, you can go up to the third floor and check it out; the prices are very reasonable.
The fourth floor houses exhibition halls from other dimensions. If you're interested, you can go up and take a look. Also, our shop accepts anything; you can exchange it at the exchange machine over there.
Now you can buy whatever you want. Okay, everyone, feel free to look around!
After Gu Xinyan finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave when she seemed to remember something and turned back to give another word of advice.
"By the way, all the items in the store have a protection mechanism. If you don't have dimensional coins in your account, you won't be able to take anything."
Do not forcibly take it, or you will be punished with an electric shock! Dimensional coins are obtained through exchange! Okay, that's all. Have a good time exploring!
As Gu Xinyan finished speaking, the room fell silent, but the silence did not last long.
When someone else led the way toward the shelves, all the people present sprang into action, surging toward the rows of shelves not far away.
Since the upgrade, the interior space of the store has become very large, and accommodating several hundred people is no problem at all.
As the civilians left, only their men and that small squad of soldiers remained at the scene.
"Let's go, don't just stand here, let's go inside and talk!"
Seeing that the young soldiers were still in a daze, Commander Zhang smiled, stepped forward, patted Zhao Yang on the shoulder, and then walked towards the reception room.
Upon hearing this, the young soldiers all turned their gazes to their captain. After all, they wouldn't dare to move without their captain's permission!
Zhao Yang: "........."
He's still a bit dazed; he came here with the intention of taking down the Japanese fighter jets along with him.
Unexpectedly, everything that happened after he arrived was completely beyond his comprehension.
Now he just wanted to figure out what was going on, so he nodded to the group and followed Commander Zhang and the others.
Seeing this, the young soldiers all followed suit, but since there were more of Gu Xinyan and her group, it wasn't practical for them all to go to the reception room.
So the generals were all arranged, and except for those on duty at the store, the rest were sent to the third floor for dinner.
Gu Xinyan and her six colleagues, along with the team leaders from each department, followed them into the meeting room.
Upon entering the reception room, one sees more than twenty young soldiers, all standing there somewhat awkwardly.
"What are you all standing there for? Sit down! Let's have a proper chat! Which division are you from?"
Commander Zhang looked at the young soldiers with some helplessness. He had just told them to sit down, but the young soldiers were afraid of getting their sofas dirty and refused to sit.
Upon hearing Commander Zhang's words, Gu Xinyan and her group, who had just entered, roughly guessed what the current situation was.
After exchanging glances, the group went forward and forcefully pushed the young soldiers, who were standing upright, down into their seats one by one.
The unsuspecting young soldiers plopped down on the ground, and the soft touch beneath their bottoms instantly washed over them. Just as they had imagined, it was soft and comfortable.
They were just dirty; after all, they had been rushing on their journey and dust had stuck to their bodies.
Just as he was about to stand up, he was startled by the gazes of Commander Zhang and his men opposite him.
It was as if they were seeing their own teacher, a deep-seated awe that made them sit obediently on the sofa, not daring to move an inch.
"I...we are from the 52nd Division, and our garrison is just a few kilometers away."
This morning, our division commander received intelligence that the Japanese had sent fighter jets. We initially thought they were going to launch a surprise attack on our base, but we never expected those bastards to actually come to the South Station.
Fearing a surprise attack from the Japanese, our people were divided into two groups. One group stayed at the base, while the other headed to the South Station. Since there were only two trucks, I led a small team to come over first.
The rest of the main force is still behind. We heard bombings on our way here, thank goodness! Thank goodness you were here, otherwise the casualties would have been much higher!
After pausing for a moment, Zhao Yang recounted everything that had happened that day.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that reinforcements from later generations had arrived; otherwise, it would have been too late by the time they arrived.
