Wilderness Redemption Tour

The crates and bottles containing the illegal liquor were all of the same style, with 16 bottles in a box, 4 gallons. After counting the crates on the car, Seamus took out a small notebook from his pocket and began to write furiously.

Lin Yan thought he was keeping accounts, so when he got closer to take a look, he found that he was just making lines on the notebook for fun.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yan asked curiously.

"Settling the accounts, what else?" Seamus replied without even raising his head.

"Do I need to calculate this?" Lin Yan was speechless. A black market merchant couldn't even figure out such simple arithmetic. He blurted out without thinking: "A box of 4 gallons, a total of 55 boxes, 220 gallons. Two dollars a gallon, 220 dollars for 440 gallons, plus the car fare, the total is 480 dollars."

Sadie had seen Lin Yan's "excellent" calculation ability before, and she was able to remain calm when she saw it again, but Seamus was already stunned, and even stopped drawing lines. After listening to Lin Yan's mental calculation, he looked at Lin Yan with suspicion, "Are you kidding me?"

Lin Yan looked at him helplessly, folded his arms and leaned to the side. "If you don't believe me, just do the math yourself..."

Five minutes later, Seamus closed his notebook, put his pen and book back into his pocket, and muttered, "He really guessed it right." As he spoke, he pushed the warehouse door open a crack, "You guys go out first, I'll go get you the money."

The most important thing for black market dealers to keep secret is where they keep their money. Although no stolen goods dealer would be stupid enough to target them, necessary security measures are still necessary.

After coming out, Sadie looked Lin Yan up and down, making meaningless "tsk tsk" sounds, which made Lin Yan feel uneasy.

"You...why are you looking at me?" Lin Yan couldn't speak clearly.

"I feel more and more that it's a waste of talent for you to follow Dutch." Sadie said regretfully, shaking her head.

Lin Yan covered his face, "...Don't worry about these details, I've already said that I have my own purpose..."

It didn't take long before the warehouse door was pushed open again. Seamus walked up to Lin Yan and handed him the counted money.

"It's a pleasure working with you." He grinned at Lin Yan, revealing an ugly smile.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Lin Yan took the money and smiled at him. "Oh, by the way, I might come one or two more times tomorrow."

"You're welcome anytime." After saying that, Seamus sat back in his previous seat, picked up the plate and started eating as if no one was around.

After leaving Emerald Ranch, Lin Yan took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon. "I wonder if Alden has finished get off work yet. Anyway, it's on the way back, so let's go check it out."

Having made up his mind, Lin Yan turned his head and said to Sadie, "Why don't we not give the money we made recently to the gang?"

Sadie said indifferently: "I have no objection to you anyway."

"Then we'll split it in half. Let's put the matter of paying tribute to the gang on hold until I pay back the debt."

Sadie shook her head, rejecting Lin Yan's distribution method. "You should take the lion's share. According to the previous distribution method, you take your share and the share left for the gang, and I take my share."

"I take three quarters and you take one quarter?" Actually, that was Lin Yan's original plan, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he gritted his teeth and said that it would be half for each of us. But what he didn't expect was that Sadie actually took the initiative to ask for less. Since Sadie said so, Lin Yan just went along with it and agreed with Sadie's statement.

"Alright, that's it."

Before it got completely dark, Lin Yan and Sadie successfully arrived at the Rhodes station. Fortunately, Alden was still sitting at his workstation, dozing off with his face in his hands. Even the sound of Lin Yan pushing the door when he entered did not wake him up.

Walking to the window, Lin Yan tapped the wooden table with his fingers and said, "Alden, Alden..."

The ticket seller, whose exact age could not be determined, acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He continued sleeping soundly with his mouth wide open and even snored.

After patiently calling out to him for a long time but seeing that he still didn't respond, Lin Yan gathered all his strength and slapped the counter, shouting loudly, "Alden!"

This shout actually echoed in the empty waiting hall, and Alden was so startled by the sudden loud noise that he almost fell to the ground.

"Shit! What happened!" Alden propped his arms on the table and looked around alertly. After seeing the familiar face in front of the window, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up, holding on to the table.

"So it's you... I thought it was the post supervisor. Can you please not be so startling when calling people's names? It scared me to death..."

Lin Yan said speechlessly: "I called you for a long time just now and you didn't wake up. If you don't shout louder, it will be dawn soon..."

Alden seemed to be aware of his own weakness, so he laughed and changed the subject. "Did that afternoon thing go well?"

"Thanks to you, I made a small profit." Lin Yan replied with a smile. "You said this afternoon that I want the other two messages you sent me. Are they also twenty-one?"

"It seems that you have tasted the sweetness." Alden also forced a smile and replied, "Twenty is just a friendly price given because you were introduced by Andrew. It's just this once. I also want to make money. Since the emergence of horseless carriages on the market, our industry has been greatly impacted. The monthly salary I can get is decreasing at a visible rate. Otherwise, why do you think I do this? To be honest, this has actually become an unspoken rule in our industry. But doing this is also risky. I have to make as much money as possible while I can still make money. After all, my whole family depends on me. I will consider the value of the following messages and flexibly price them. The more you ask, the more you earn. These two messages are fifty and thirty respectively. Believe me, this money is absolutely worth it."

You said so much, don't you just want more... Lin Yan complained in his heart while reaching out to take out eighty dollars from the space bag and pushing it in front of him, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I hope they can make me another fortune."

"As long as you have the ability, making money is almost certain." Alden picked up the stack of bills and counted them without hesitation. After confirming that the amount of money was correct, he took out two folded notes from his pocket. "This is the news you want. I knew you were coming, so I prepared it in advance."

After handing the note to Lin Yan, Alden continued, "Open it and take a look. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
