Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Is this money... considered as our labor income? Should we give half of it to the gang?" While Sadie was counting the money, Lin Yan suddenly thought of this question.

Arthur has been in the industry for so many years and has never encountered anything like this. When he heard Lin Yan's question, he was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said, "This money should be considered as something we found. Logically, we can keep it all."

"There are 280 yuan in total here. How do we divide it among the three of us?" After counting the money, Sadie asked how to divide it.

Arthur waved his hand and pointed at Lin Yan. "I don't want it. Give my share to Jamie."

"Ah?" The three of them discovered it together. Lin Yan didn't expect Arthur to give up his share directly.

"Then I don't want it either. Let's leave all the money to him." Sadie didn't care too much about this unexpected income.

"Ah?" One hundred dollars is not a small amount of money, why doesn't he even want Sadie?

After hearing what they said, Lin Yan was reluctant to take the money that Sadie handed over. "You...you can't be like this. I have a week to raise the money, and you have so little confidence in me?"

"Take it." Sadie stuffed the money into Lin Yan's pocket. "If you feel embarrassed, just think of it as a loan from us."

After hearing this, Lin Yan felt relieved and collected the money. "Then I'll just treat it as you each lending me another hundred yuan..."

In Lin Yan's mind, he has always adhered to the principle of "brothers should settle accounts clearly". After living alone for so many years, he had times when he could not eat, could not pay tuition, and could not even maintain a minimum living standard. At that time, many kind-hearted people in society lent him a hand and donated money and materials unconditionally to help him through the most difficult time in his life. These people often do things without asking for anything in return, but Lin Yan, who was taught by his family to be grateful since childhood, silently recorded every amount of money that everyone funded him, and supplies such as materials were also recorded at a discount to the market price at that time. Since high school, he has started working within his ability, and in his junior year, he repaid everyone's financial support through his own efforts.

Money has a price, but love is priceless. In real life, he is completely independent financially and will not easily accept other people's kindness. He deliberately keeps a distance from everyone, because he is afraid that others will be too good to him and he cannot return the other party with equal love. Therefore, in life, he not only has very few friends, but also has never had a girlfriend.

However, what Lin Yan didn't know was that in this game, in the process of interacting with these characters he thought of as virtual characters, his personality was slowly being changed.

When they were about to arrive at Saint Denis, Arthur made the excuse that he had something else to do and parted ways with Lin Yan and Sadie, heading straight for Shadibaile via the Black Swamp.

On the way back, Lin Yan thought of several ways to make money, ways that were not illegal. One was to go to the police station to see if there were any more people to arrest, and the other was to go see another inventor living in Saint Denis, the man named Andrew that Professor Dragic greeted when he left the city yesterday, to see if he needed any help, of course, paid help.

If there is no way to make money in these two places, Lin Yan can only wander around the streets to see if he can trigger any events.

The inventor Andrew was in the northern suburbs of Saint-Denis. Lin Yan, who was passing by here on his way back, visited him on the way.

When I saw him, the inventor was still dressed the same as yesterday, wearing his apron full of pockets. The difference from yesterday was that today he was not tinkering with his pile of parts, but sitting in an iron chair in a daze.

The door to the courtyard was open. Lin Yan dismounted and walked to the door, knocked politely, and introduced himself: "Mr. Andrew, I am a friend of Professor Dragic. My name is Jamie. We met yesterday."

Andrew raised his head and adjusted his glasses, focusing his eyes on Lin Yan, and said listlessly: "Oh, it's you, what's the matter?"

Lin Yan was too embarrassed to say his real purpose directly, so he said cryptically: "I just passed by here and saw you sitting here in a daze, and I was looking for something to do, so I came to ask if you need any help."

"Help?" Andrew's originally dull eyes lit up when he heard Lin Yan's offer to help. "You want to come and help me?"

Seeing Andrew, who was originally worried, suddenly become energetic, Lin Yan knew that he had come to the right place. "It's not unconditional, it requires compensation."

"Of course, you have to pay someone for your help, I understand that." Andrew nodded and told me about the trouble he was in. "I need some moonshine for my experiment, can you help me get it? Not much, just a hundred gallons."

Lin Yan didn't understand what experiment required so much illegal liquor. Having drunk that stuff a few times, he knew that it contained a lot of impurities, almost the most impurities in all liquors. Could it be that this was the effect he wanted?

Of course, not understanding the reason did not stop him from taking on the task. As long as he could make money, he didn't care what the other party used for the experiment.

But the problem was that he didn't know where to find bootleg liquor. The winery that the Lemoyne Raiders had worked with the Braithwaite family was wiped out by Sheriff Gray. Now the Braithwaite family and the Gray family had become history, and he hadn't even seen the Lemoyne Raiders recently.

When Lin Yan was thinking about the illegal liquor, Andrew continued, "If you don't know where to get it, go to the station in Lodz and find Alden. He is the ticket seller there. Give him some benefits and he will tell you some information."

Lin Yan didn't expect Andrew to be so considerate as to arrange a middleman for him. Hearing this, he nodded and agreed without hesitation. "No problem, leave it to me."

"Are you going to change your career? Why have you been hanging around inventors these days?" Sadie teased as they left Andrew's yard.

Lin Yan smiled bitterly and sighed. "Alas! It's all for money..."

Returning to Lodz again, Lin Yan suddenly felt that things had changed. The town had returned to its previous state. Except for the bullet holes still visible on the buildings facing the street, there was almost no trace of the corpses that were everywhere that day. A new sheriff took office in the police station, and the tavern called "Palace of Pleasure" also changed its owner, but the business was still as good as before. It seemed that the Gray family's nearly 100 years of business here had all been for others.

But this is not what Lin Yan cares about. After parking the horse outside the station, he and Sadie walked straight to the ticket office.
