American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

When she conquers Slaver's Bay again, it will be the time for her to lead the three dragons, the Unsullied army, and the Dothraki army across the Channel to launch a counterattack on Westeros.

“Of course, look, this is a rifle. Its power and range are several times that of a pistol.” Josie waved his hand, and a 1917 appeared in his hand from the system’s inventory. He then began to explain to Daenerys how to use the bolt-action rifle. Of course, a live-fire demonstration was out of the question; if he actually fired a shot, the police would be on their door.

"Very well, is it the same price as last time?" Daenerys didn't care about that, because she had already used a pistol before and knew the power of this weapon called a firearm. Any weak person could easily kill a well-trained soldier with a gun, which was many times more effective than a crossbow.

“That definitely won’t work. Pistols are weak and cheap, but rifles are different. They are extremely powerful. Believe me, Daenerys, even the best armor and shields in your world probably can’t stop them from firing within their range,” Josie said, shaking his head. He wasn’t lying to Daenerys.

Although the M1917 has been largely phased out by the US military and is now only used for training, this does not mean it is inferior. In many countries around the world, it remains a highly sought-after weapon. Even years later, soldiers in China were still equipped with a large number of these rifles, and they used them to teach the then-arrogant US military a lesson on the Korean battlefield.

This rifle has a high muzzle velocity, high bullet kinetic energy, long range, flat trajectory, and excellent accuracy, far superior to well-known rifles such as the Type 38 rifle.

Furthermore, during World War I and World War II, the bullets used by various countries were all full-power bullets with excessive power, and their penetration ability was absolutely outstanding.

Although A Song of Ice and Fire is a fantasy world, apart from Valyria, which is said to have been destroyed in legends, the metallurgical level of ordinary human kingdoms is not high. The low purity of gold mentioned earlier already illustrates this point.

Therefore, Josie didn't believe that any armor or shield on the continent of Westeros could withstand the fire of this rifle.

"Oh? Then what price are you asking for?" Seeing such confidence, Daenerys' interest grew considerably.

Although the previous pistols impressed her, everyone knows the power of the classic .38 revolver. It might be okay to penetrate leather armor at close range, but it's hard to say what will happen when facing steel armor.

"Three times!" Josie demanded outright. "Don't think it's expensive. The previous pistol only had fifty bullets, but this time, each rifle comes with a hundred bullets."

Well, when Josie bought the gun, it came with a thousand rounds, but now he's only going to give away a hundred rounds, and sell the rest of the bullets separately.

Anyway, this is a unique business, so there's no need to worry about Daenerys not buying it. Otherwise, having a gun without bullets is no different from having a fire poker.

“If the gun is indeed as powerful as you say, then this price isn’t unacceptable,” Daenerys nodded.

She wouldn't lack gold when she returned to Slaver's Bay; the slave owners had amassed an enormous amount of wealth.

If the power of this gun is truly as Josie claims, then if the Unsullied and the army of Dorax are equipped with such a magical weapon, and with the three-headed dragons now fully grown, who in Westeros could possibly stop her advance?

Chapter 4 Needs Help

With a "ding!" notification, Josie and Daenerys completed the transaction. Daenerys's warehouse now contained four rifles and four hundred rounds of ammunition, while Josie's warehouse contained 120 ounces of gold.

Moreover, unlike the last transaction which involved gold jewelry, this time the gold consisted entirely of melted gold bars, exactly 12 in total. Clearly, Daenerys had prepared a large amount of gold in advance for the transaction. Although they were two different worlds with different languages, scripts, and units of measurement, the trading system would automatically convert or translate these differences, which was very convenient.

Seeing so much gold appear all at once, Josie couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

That's a whopping 3.4 kilograms of gold! If you convert it to the gold price before he time-traveled, that's over a million RMB.

Although he was financially well-off in his previous life, he had never seen so much cash except for real estate.

I have seen more gold than this before, but that was in a gold shop.

Resisting the urge to take out the gold and play with it, Josie prepared to close the system. She needed to think more about how to convert so much gold into cash. Although the last gold sale went smoothly and the shopkeeper named Old Hawke seemed honest, the amount of gold had now increased twelvefold, and it was hard to say what would happen.

"Wait, Josie!" But just then, Daenerys called out to him.

"Is there something you need?" Josie asked, somewhat surprised, since Daenerys was currently leading the Drax army back to Slaver's Bay to quell the rebellion and was quite busy.

“I really like this book, The Prince, especially its descriptions of the qualities a monarch should possess. It really resonated with me. If I had read this book a few years earlier, Slaver's Bay probably wouldn't be in such a chaotic situation now. However, the book's content is rather limited. For example, it doesn't provide detailed information about the monarchs mentioned. I'm very interested in the experiences of these monarchs, so could you help me find some more books on these topics?” Daenerys said, holding the copy of The Prince that Josie had previously traded to her.

As an exiled princess, Daenerys grew up constantly on the run and never had a peaceful day.

Therefore, let alone any talk of monarchical education, even the basic education they received was extremely inadequate.

When there were fewer people and less land, we didn't feel it much.

However, as her forces grew larger, Daenerys's shortcomings in this area began to surface.

How to reconcile the conflicts between various forces and classes within one's territory, how to manage one's subordinates, and how to govern the region—this is the kind of monarch one should become.

These are all things she needs to learn.

This is one of the biggest reasons why she remains in Slaver's Bay... Due to a lack of governance experience, the various city-states of Slaver's Bay are constantly in rebellion, which not only fails to allow her power to continue to grow, but also continuously depletes her original resources and strength.

As for her several important subordinates, they were also helping to teach her what kind of monarch she should be, such as Tyrion, who had only recently joined her.

However, these people all wanted Daenerys to become the monarch they desired, rather than actually helping her become the monarch she herself wanted.

The Daenerys of the past couldn't see this; she simply felt she wasn't doing enough, leading her to constantly compromise.

However, this book, though seemingly thin, was so insightful that it helped her understand many things.

Daenerys's ability to get to where she is today is remarkable; in the past, her limited perspective only restricted her.

After obtaining the interdimensional trading device, she contacted Josie and saw the book "The Monarch".

A brand new world has unfolded before her.

This also sparked her interest in the literature and history of Josie's world.

“Of course, but it will take some time, since there are quite a few books on the subject.” Josie agreed without hesitation.

As the only trading partner at this stage, Daenerys' rapid growth is a good thing for him.

Only if Daenerys matures quickly and becomes a qualified monarch will she be able to avoid many of the detours she took in the original storyline and avoid dying as tragically as she did in the original series.

Only in this way can Josie maintain her trade with Daenerys.

If Daenerys dies, the dimensional beacon will search for a new host, a process that is completely random.

If the new host is a lord or nobleman, that's fine, but if it's bound to a beggar or someone who has nothing, then it's not so fun.

Josie still needs to spend time supporting the other party until the other party has a certain amount of wealth before making a deal with her.

So, for the first dimensional beacon to find a host as wealthy and powerful as Daenerys, Josie's luck is actually quite good.

It's hard to say whether we'll have such good luck when the new beacon is created next year.

Therefore, besides making money from trading with Daenerys, Josie was also happy to help Daenerys in other ways.

If it weren't for the concern of upsetting Daenerys too much, Josie would have loved to tell her the whole story of Game of Thrones.

“Thank you so much. I was planning to head to Westeros as soon as I got back to Slaver’s Bay, but now I’m going to spend more time studying and building up my strength. Also, if possible, I hope to equip the entire Unsullied Legion with these rifles,” Daenerys said.

“…This is probably not something that can be done in a short time. After all, I am different from you. In my world, I am just a nobody. Dozens or hundreds of guns are fine, but eight thousand is not so easy.” Josie said with some helplessness after hearing Daenerys’s words.

Although the United States does not ban guns, buying eight thousand guns at once obviously means you have to buy them from an arms dealer.

If he does that, Josie will inevitably step into the limelight.

As a mere 15-year-old boy, possessing vast wealth but lacking the corresponding power, he would likely be devoured in no time.

Ultimately, it's because Josie is all alone and lacks help.

But a trustworthy and reliable helper is not so easy to find, especially for Josie.

Josh's full name is Josh Kahn, and he is of Austrian descent. In some ways, he is from the same hometown as that mustachioed man.

Five years ago, when Mustache annexed Austria, his parents fled Austria with him and eventually immigrated to the United States.

While in Austria, they had some assets, but in order to escape, they sold off most of their assets at a low price. After arriving in the United States, they bought this small apartment, which basically put them in abject poverty.

The family of three was supported by the job her father found at the port.

Although we have been in the United States for five years, the family is not integrating into the local society quickly because only the father understands English.

Although the predecessor studied in the United States for a few years, apart from becoming slightly more fluent in English, he didn't actually learn much, and due to his personality, he didn't make many friends.

Even more tragically, just over three months ago, while the previous owner was away from home, the couple who were at home ate a sausage that wasn't properly marinated and died of food poisoning. Their deaths were very untimely.

This is obviously a huge blow to a 15-year-old boy who is inexperienced in the ways of the world.

Even if it weren't for the help of the community priest, the original owner wouldn't have known how to bury her parents—which would have basically used up the little money her parents had left behind.

And from then on, the original owner never went to school again.

After three months of living in a daze, he was replaced by the current Josie.

Such a monotonous range of interpersonal relationships has left Josie unable to find a single friend or relative she can trust.

Hearing Josie's explanation, Daenerys nodded in understanding, after all, she had been through the same predicament that Josie was in.

“But speaking of reliable helpers… how about I send you a few Unsullied?” Daenerys said after thinking for a moment.

"The Unsullied?" Upon hearing Daenerys's words, Josie couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Chapter 5 The Car is Gone

“Indeed, when it comes to reliability and loyalty, who can compare to the Unsullied soldiers?” Daenerys said.

The dimensional trading device can trade living beings, but compared to ordinary trading, trading living beings is slightly more complicated, as the traded object must not resist or have no ability to resist.

However, this problem obviously does not exist for those without the latter.

The "Unsullied" were an army created by the slave owners of Slave Bay after castrating slaves from childhood and subjecting them to dehumanizing training that deprived them of freedom, status, and emotion, leaving them with only endless obedience.

Before meeting Daenerys, these soldiers had almost completely erased all human characteristics, including their bodies, emotions, and sense of pain, leaving only absolute obedience to the master who bought them and no fear of death or torture.

It wasn't until Daenerys arrived at Slaver's Bay and tricked the slave owners into giving them the scepter to command them that they were granted freedom and dignity.

Therefore, this fearless army was completely loyal to Daenerys.

Therefore, if Daenerys were to offer them as bargaining chips to Josie, they would absolutely not put up any resistance.

It must be said that Josie was quite tempted by Daenerys's suggestion.

While the Unsullied warriors might lack intelligence due to their enslaved origins, they are perfectly suited as guards.

If there were a few dozen Unsullied soldiers, and they were taught how to use guns, Josie wouldn't have to be afraid of gangsters at all, let alone going head-to-head with the CPD (Chicago Police Department).
