Game Of Thrones : Merchant of Two Worlds

The personal protective equipment (PPE) is almost ready, and now it's time to buy some assault weapons.

When people think of assault weapons, the first thing that often comes to mind is a gun.

However, owning firearms is illegal , and no one dares to sell them. Even if there were channels for purchasing weapons, they would be inaccessible to someone like Jason Liu.

So, guns are out of the question!

Next, Jason considered electric batons, which can release a high voltage to temporarily paralyze an enemy. That sounded useful at first.

But when Jason looked into the restrictions on using electric batons, his interest faded.

He learned that if the person being shocked was holding a good conductor, like an iron sword, the electricity could jump back and hit him instead. It would be pretty embarrassing to knock the enemy out only to end up hurting himself first.

So, he decided to forget about the electric baton.

Since it was the Game of Thrones era, where cold weapons reigned, maybe he could find an alloy knife?

However, after searching, he found that apart from kitchen knives and small daggers, any large knives available online were controlled items that couldn't be purchased.

He had heard rumors that some people sell controlled knives privately, but Jason had no way of accessing those.

For an ordinary person like him, trying to find one was unrealistic.

Since he couldn't get the controlled items, he looked for weapons that could be legally owned that still had decent power.

Sure enough, Jason quickly found a viable option—a stick.

The full name is the tactical telescopic baton, made from several steel rods of varying thicknesses. When not in use, it collapses down to just 30 cm in length.

The tip of the baton is thinner than the grip, so when it strikes a target, the smaller contact area increases the pressure at that point, leading to greater destructive force.

Jason chose a tungsten-manganese alloy steel baton after watching a video from the store. In it, a red brick was smashed into pieces, and a cement pipe with a 30 cm diameter was broken apart as well.

The power of this baton was truly impressive.

Feeling pleased, Jason read through the thousands of comments on the store's page and verified the seller's credentials. The manufacturer was reputable and had partnerships with both the security and public safety departments, so he quickly placed an order.

For 280 yuan, he ordered the tungsten-manganese alloy steel baton, with free shipping to his home. It would arrive in three days.

Once he secured the PPE, Jason decided to buy a travel backpack online, spending another 300 yuan.

After browsing for a while and finding nothing else he needed, he closed the website.

Next, he opened a search engine, and began looking for common medicines. This was important since the medical technology in the Game of Thrones world was quite limited. Jason worried that if he or someone he cared about got sick, he needed to be prepared with some first-aid supplies.

The internet proved useful, quickly providing a list of household medicines:

For colds: Qingwen Lianhua Capsule, Sanjiu Ganmao Ling, Paracetamol, Gankang, etc..

For diarrhea: Norfloxacin capsules, Smecta, Changyanning, Huoxiangzhengqi water, etc.

For stomach issues: Stomach Bizhi, Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets, etc.

For heart issues: Suxiao Jiuxin Pill, nitroglycerin, etc.

For allergies: chlorpheniramine, loratadine, etc.

For bruises: Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, Shangshi pain relief cream, safflower oil, etc.

Jason took a picture of the list on his phone and planned to visit a nearby pharmacy to gather these medicines.

He put on a mask, grabbed his electric bicycle, which had been his companion for two years, and entered the elevator.

Riding his little electric bike, Jason headed to a famous pharmacy on Jinghua Road. This pharmacy was a respected establishment with a long history of service.

As soon as he stepped inside, an elderly woman in a white coat behind the counter greeted him with a smile. "Hello, sir! What kind of medicine are you looking for today?"

Jason looked around at the shelves filled with medicine boxes and approached the counter. He pulled out his phone and displayed the list of medicines he needed. "I'd like to buy some common household medicines from this list. Please get me two boxes of each!"

The saleswoman took his phone, glanced at the list, nodded quickly, and said with a smile, "No problem! These are all household medicines, and we have them all in stock.

I usually keep some of these at home for emergencies; it's very convenient to have them on hand."

She continued enthusiastically, "For example, you should always keep Suxiao Jiuxin Pill at home if you have elderly family members with heart issues…"

While explaining, she quickly began gathering the medicines from Jason's list.

In less than ten minutes, she had collected everything, and a large pile of medicine boxes appeared on the counter.

Looking at the assortment before her, the saleswoman smiled even more broadly. "This is everything from your list. Do you need anything else?"

Jason picked up a box of Lianhua Qingwen Capsules, casually glanced around, and asked, "Do you sell penicillin here?"

He remembered penicillin well; it was once hailed as a 'miracle drug' for curing a variety of ailments.

With just one shot, it could help with fevers, colds, headaches, inflammation, bruises, and sprains—basically anything that ailed you. Doctors often prescribed penicillin for nearly every illness back then.

Because it was widely used, people's resistance to it was still low, making it very effective.

This led to some overuse of the drug.

Even though there are now more effective antibiotics, penicillin still holds a place in many people's hearts as a miracle cure.

Jason wondered if he could buy some to replicate its magic and help heal people in the world of Game of Thrones.

The saleswoman gave him a surprised look. "Do you have a doctor's prescription?"

"No," Jason admitted honestly.

"I'm sorry, but penicillin is a prescription medication. You can only buy it with a doctor's prescription or a certificate from a medical facility. It can't be purchased privately," she explained.

Jason nodded, not surprised by this response. He had suspected as much but asked just in case.

"Okay, then please give me five rolls of bandages, two packs of cotton swabs, two bottles of medical alcohol, and a roll of tape," he added, considering what else he might need. After thinking it over, he felt satisfied with his list and said, "That should be enough."

The saleswoman collected the items, and as she rang them up, she skillfully scanned each one.

"The total comes to 529 yuan. Would you like to pay with cash or through a QR code?" she asked, handing him the receipt.
