I Travel Back and Forth to Bright Sword to Play the Middleman

A box of Dove chocolates buys a Type 14 Nambu pistol, opening the door to Lin Feng’s career as a cross-time trader. Bound to the Myriad Worlds Marketplace System, he shuttles back and forth between the fire-ravaged world of Bright Sword and the modern city. He trades Yiwu trinkets for Japanese helmets, and uses captured samurai swords to get the headquarters an entire crate of penicillin. When Li Yunlong rubs his hands together and asks, “Brother, got any more flashlights that can blind the Japs at night?” Lin Feng has already become the most unusual supply hub between two worlds. But soon he realizes this is more than just a get-rich-quick game. The System’s cold notifications, the steadily accumulating “causal debt,” and a shadowy organization trying to alter history all push him toward a sobering truth: he is trading not only goods, but a chapter of history that must never be defiled.
