American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

But before he could even leave the house, someone contacted him through the system.

So Josie locked the office door and went back to her office chair.

Upon opening the communication, Cai Lin from the world of Gods and Demons appeared on the other end.

"Mr. Kahn, I've found the Dragon Emperor's Tomb!" Cai Lin, dressed in military uniform and looking somewhat travel-worn, said excitedly.

"Oh? You acted even faster than I expected. So you've found the Eye of Shangri-La too?" Josie's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

At this point, only half a year had passed since the two sides opened interdimensional trade. Josie's world had reached the end of 1947, while the timeline of the Legend of Mir world had reached the second half of 1927.

In Josh’s view, at that time, even with his support of various military supplies, it would not have been easy for Chae Rim, a woman, to achieve her predetermined goals so quickly.

But things went even more smoothly than he had imagined.

Perhaps because she was the eldest sister in her family, this young girl, Chae Rim, was far more mature in her methods than Josie had imagined.

Cai Lin's father's former subordinates were constantly ostracized by other warlord factions and those in power due to the situation at the time, and their lives were not easy.

Therefore, by using her younger brother's name to rally support and offering military funds as bait, Chae Rim easily won over a group of her former subordinates.

Then, by selling canned meat, they obtained a large amount of grain, which in turn allowed them to recruit a large number of new soldiers. Cai Lin's army suddenly exceeded 50,000. This was because Josie had so many canned dinosaur meats that she had nowhere to sell them, so it was the largest resource invested in Cai Lin. Not to mention 50,000, even 500,000 could feed them for several months.

Subsequently, relying on Josie's three doses of super soldier serum, she cultivated two family confidants in addition to herself. Through a series of coercion and inducement, she quickly seized actual military power when the recruits completed their initial training.

Furthermore, taking advantage of the conflict between the two regimes in Nanjing and Jiangcheng at the beginning of the year, under the pretext of siding with the Jiangcheng government, and taking advantage of the opportunity when the warlords Yang Sen and Liu Xiang of Sichuan sent troops to Jiangcheng, they entered Sichuan and, before the two could react, relied on the powerful combat strength of their super soldiers and the super firepower of their World War II American weapons to quickly occupy Sichuan.

They then contacted Zhang of the Fengtian clique and, before Feng in the Northwest could react, launched a pincer attack, gaining control of the Shaanxi region.

In less than a year, they went from nothing to becoming the "King of the Northwest," Cai Clan, which astonished all the forces of the Great Han Empire in that world.

The two provisional governments in Nanjing and Jiangcheng, who had just achieved some victories in the Northern Expedition and were complacent about their successes, and had begun to fight for power, were completely dumbfounded.

After all, the Cai clan of Yunnan, Sichuan, and Shaanxi, and the Zhang clan that controlled Zhili and Fengtian, were far stronger than them combined.

The firepower of Cai's army was so formidable that even military observer groups from Britain and France were terrified, let alone the local warlords in the Han Empire who were still mostly using outdated methods.

However, after gaining momentum, to the surprise of all forces in the Great Han Empire, the Cai Clan did not continue to expand. Instead, they adopted a defensive posture and began to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in the occupied areas, as well as search for the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and the Eye of Shangri-La.

“Yes, my people stole the Eye of Shangri-La from the Shanghai Museum half a month ago, and now we’re just waiting to open the tomb!” Cai Lin nodded.

The Shanghai Museum mentioned here is not the one of later generations, but the old Shanghai Museum built in 1934.

In the movie, the Eye of Shangri-La is said to have been stolen from the Great Han Empire in 1940, but in reality, it was stolen by British troops during the chaos of their withdrawal from the Shanghai concession.

Before that, it had actually been hidden in the old Shanghai Museum.

After learning of its whereabouts, Chae Rim dispatched a super soldier to steal it.

"How's the excavation going at the cemetery?" Josie asked.

“Just now, my men discovered the main burial chamber, and I’m about to go down now. But I think that at such a crucial moment, Mr. Kahn should also be involved!” Cai Lin explained.

The communications of the dimensional trading device are actually invisible to anyone other than the trader themselves.

The main reason why Josie always chooses to be alone is that she doesn't want to be seen as a lunatic talking to thin air.

Furthermore, just because others cannot see his trading partners does not mean that they cannot hear what he says when he talks to them.

However, as long as you don't speak, no one can see you.

Therefore, with the communication function open, Chae Rim could broadcast live to Josie without being discovered.

Hearing what Chae Rim said, Josie also became interested. He also wanted to see if the Dragon Emperor really looked like the Kung Fu Emperor from his previous life.

Moreover, the resurrection of the Dragon Emperor is of great significance to whether Josie can obtain the Fountain of Immortality.

Some might think that the Fountain of Immortality is simple: just find the location of Shangri-La and then steal it.

However, many people have overlooked a very key figure: Ziyuan.

In the movie, Ziyuan's presence is weak, completely overshadowed by the main characters, the O'Connor family.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that Shion is actually the hidden mastermind behind the scenes.

The fact that he could single-handedly curse the Dragon Emperor and his million-strong army, burying the entire imperial city, suggests that his magical power is probably no less than, if not stronger than, that of Imhotep.

After the Dragon Emperor was resurrected, he used magic to revive a million undead beneath the Great Wall to fight against the Dragon Emperor's army of terracotta warriors.

With such a being protecting Shangri-La, let alone Chae Rim who only had Josie's support, even if Josie personally led all the power of this world up there, she probably wouldn't even know how she died in the end.

Only the extraordinary can fight against the extraordinary... therefore, resurrecting the Dragon Emperor is imperative.

As long as the Dragon Emperor doesn't ruin the entire Fountain of Immortality like in the movies, it'll be fine.

In addition, the resurrection of the Dragon Emperor is also very important to Chae Rim.

This woman has great ambitions, but she is also very aware of her own abilities. Perhaps with the help of Josie and some strategies, she has built a considerable empire in a short period of time.

However, if she wanted to truly rule the entire Han Empire, or even conquer the world, it would be very difficult for her to do so with just herself and two or three super soldiers.

After all, the era she lived in was not the medieval era like the world of Game of Thrones, but the modern era when national consciousness had awakened.

Even if she were to rule the world one day, she would probably be busy suppressing rebellions all the time.

She didn't want to live that kind of life.

But it would be great if there were a strong enough person to do these things for her.

And the Dragon Emperor is clearly the most suitable person.

Especially after acquiring the interdimensional trading device, ordinary men in this world no longer catch her eye.

The Dragon Emperor possesses extraordinary power, while she possesses a magical interdimensional trading device; in her view, the two are the perfect match.

Josie was aware of Chae Rim's thoughts, but declined to comment.

After all, everyone has their own choices, and Josie can't force her to change them.

As far as he was concerned, all he wanted was to get what he wanted in the end.

Soon, the two sides stopped talking, and Cai Lin left the room to gather people and prepare to go down into the tomb.

The real tomb of the Dragon Emperor is far more magnificent than that in the movie. The entire process of entering the tomb took more than half an hour to reach the main burial chamber. Along the way, Josie saw many corpses that had died in various traps. Some were fresh, obviously belonging to Chae Rim's people, while others were mummified skeletons that had been dead for many years, probably those who had tried to rob the tomb in the past.

Finally, deep inside the tomb, Josie saw the chariot carrying the bronze coffin from the movie.

Just as Chae Rim took out the Eye of Shangri-La and walked towards the bronze carriage, a figure emerged from the shadows, avoiding the sight of the surrounding guards, and crept up behind Chae Rim.

"Hehe, I've been waiting for you for so long!" Just as the other party was about to launch the final attack, Chae Rim suddenly turned around and smiled sweetly at the corner where the other party was.

The infiltrator was shocked to see this and immediately tried to retreat, but two figures blocked her way behind her. They were two super soldiers under Chae Rim's command.

It turns out that Cai Lin had already discovered the other party's presence. However, the terrain in the underground palace and imperial tomb was complex, and the other party was also very good at hiding. Once the enemy was alerted, it would not be easy to keep them in this complicated environment.

So it wasn't until now, when the enemy had entered this final tomb chamber with only one entrance and exit, that Cai Lin officially launched her attack, ordering her two trusted super soldiers to block the enemy's path.

If she wasn't mistaken, this infiltrator should be the guardian clan that Josie had mentioned.

After the infiltrators were discovered, they realized that they could not stop Cai Lin and the others from taking away the Dragon Emperor's coffin today, so they immediately tried to escape.

But she clearly underestimated the power of the super soldiers.

Chae Rim's two super soldiers were left behind by her father. They were elders who had diligently protected the Chae family for more than ten years. They were veterans of many battles and were proficient in the art of combined attacks. Now that they had gained the physique of super soldiers, they instantly overwhelmed the infiltrators and left them with no power to fight back.

In less than ten moves, the infiltrator was subdued.

They ripped off the other person's mask, revealing a young, beautiful face beneath.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if I'm not mistaken, your name should be Guo Lin, right? The daughter of Guo Ming, the criminal general of Qin, and Zi Yuan, the vixen who brought chaos to Qin." Cai Lin gently stroked Guo Lin's face and asked with a smile.

"Pah! You're the witch! Your whole family are witches!" Guo Lin spat angrily when she heard Cai Lin insult her mother.

But Chae Rim easily dodged the question: "Hehe, you're quite stubborn. After I resurrect the Dragon Emperor, I'll give you to him. I think he'll be very happy!"

"Men, smash this statue open! Be careful, there's a terracotta warrior inside, don't break it!" Cai Lin turned around, no longer looking at Guo Lin, and instead directed the guards to smash the bronze chariot driver statue on the bronze chariot.

This order left those around him, including Guo Lin, somewhat bewildered.

Instead of turning it on, why not smash a bronze statue?

But as the bronze statue was broken open, a strangely shaped terracotta warrior appeared before everyone's eyes, and Guo Lin suddenly realized something.

The corpse in the coffin was fake; this terracotta warrior was the real Dragon Emperor.

Before the Qin Dynasty collapsed, its successors hid everything to prevent the Terracotta Army, which was the embodiment of the Dragon Emperor, from being destroyed.

Because all of this is a secret, even the guardian clan, led by Shion, only knows the approximate location of the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, but not the specific details inside.

If it weren't for the existence of Josie, Chae Rim wouldn't have known this.

The reason for knocking off the Dragon Emperor's fake shell was to avoid wasting the limited amount of spring water in the Eye of Shangri-La.

In the movie, the water of immortality was accidentally spilled on the Dragon Emperor, but because of the bronze barrier, there was a great loss.

Therefore, the newly resurrected Dragon Emperor's condition is also very incomplete.

After the terracotta warriors that the Dragon Emperor had transformed into appeared in the world, Cai Lin took out a blood vial and poured it into the Eye of Shangri-La in her hand.

The blood in the vial was Peggy Carter's.

In the movie, Evelyn translates the inscription on the Eye of Shangri-La, which requires the blood of a pure-hearted person to open the Eye of Shangri-La, and in the end, Evelyn's blood is used.

But Josie thought it was ridiculous. Anyway, looking at the Mummy trilogy, regardless of whether the actress was changed or not, Evelyn, apart from being a bit stubborn, didn't seem to have any purity.

If being willing to sacrifice for a lover equates to a pure heart, then Josie believes Carter is miles ahead of Evelyn.

As expected, as the blood dripped onto the Eye of Shangri-La, the seal on it instantly broke, and it began to emit a birth-inducing light. Then, it opened like a lotus flower, revealing the very small amount of the Fountain of Immortality inside.
