Wilderness Redemption Tour

Professor Dragic's carriage was parked in the awning at this time, which was good news. If he was not there, Lin Yan would have to wait until an unknown time or come another day, which was what he didn't want to see.

After tying the horse to the open space in front of the laboratory, Lin Yan walked to the main door of the laboratory and pushed the door, but it didn't open.

"Back door!" Professor Dragic's somewhat dull voice reached Lin Yan's ears through the door.

Lin Yan walked towards the back door while muttering to himself: "They have to go through the back door instead of the front door. The brain circuits of these scientists are really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

Pushing open the back door, Lin Yan saw, as expected, Professor Dragic, wearing a pair of glasses somewhat similar to Leopold's, fiddling with his treasure - a robot with an old-fashioned design that was completely out of his league.

The robot was currently lying on the support of an iron cage in the center of the laboratory, its chest wide open. Professor Dragic was standing beside it, muttering to himself and fiddling with the circuits inside.

Hearing the sound of the door, he turned his head and took a look in this direction. After finding that the person coming was Lin Yan, he said in a light tone: "Oh, it's you. Let's talk later. Let me finish the work at hand first."

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Yan's answer, he devoted himself to his research on robots again.

"What's your attitude? You're still so arrogant even though I'm giving you money. You think it's a big deal that you're knowledgeable..." Lin Yan muttered softly, then started walking around the laboratory again.

The furnishings in the laboratory were not much different from that day, except that there was a pile of papers in front of a laboratory table. Lin Yan walked over and flipped through it, and found that the pile of papers was the patent application materials for radio remote control technology. He glanced through it from beginning to end and came to the conclusion that "this information has been completed."

"Everything I have is ready. Is that fast enough?" While Lin Yan was looking through the information, Professor Dragic had finished his work and came over to stand beside him.

"It's really fast." Lin Yan restored the information on hand to its original state, turned around and looked at the inventor in front of him with increasingly obvious dark circles under his eyes: "I have the money ready too."

As he spoke, he took out the $2300 he had raised over the past two days from his pocket. Once he gave the money away, his savings dropped to single digits again.

"You're not slow on your end. I thought you'd have to wait another three or four days." Professor Dragic took the money and counted it. After confirming that it was correct, he opened the desk drawer and put the money in.

"The money is in place. When do you plan to go to New York?" Lin Yan didn't care about the money. He just wanted to know when the other party could get the patent application and when his investment could be cashed out as soon as possible.

"Hmm..." Professor Dragic stroked his beard and thought for a while, "Since you are so anxious, it's not impossible for me to leave tomorrow..."

"Then tomorrow."

"...But I remember that the boats from Saint Denis to New York only run on Tuesdays and Fridays. Today is..." He took out the calendar and looked at today's date: "What a coincidence, today is only Wednesday. I'm afraid I have to postpone this trip to the day after tomorrow."

"Is it only possible by boat? Or by train?"

"Of course you can, but I don't want to take the train for such a long journey. It takes a long time and is tiring. I also have to worry about changing trains. I might even get robbed. It's not much faster than taking a boat after all this hassle."

Hearing Professor Dragic talking about being robbed on the train, Lin Yan unconsciously thought of the train he had been robbed on before, so he subconsciously shook his head and said, "Forget it, one day later is one day later, safety first, I don't want my money to go down the drain again."

"Then it's settled." Professor Dragic clapped his hands. "As for the patent profit sharing, just wait for my notification later. How can I contact you?"

"Uh..." Lin Yan thought for a moment and decided, "Send the letter to Rhodes Station and write my name, Jamie Custer."

"No problem, just go back and wait to count the money." Professor Dragic looked up at the wall clock, "It's almost noon, I think you must be hungry, why don't we go downstairs to have lunch. The fish stew at the Van Horn Trade Port Tavern tastes good, do you want to try it? It's my treat."

If it were in the real world, Lin Yan would definitely refuse outright. Treating is also a favor. If someone treats him, he has to treat them back next time. If he wants to save face, he will suffer the loss. But in the game, he doesn't have so many concerns. In his opinion, the other party has just negotiated a "big" deal, so treating them is the right way to entertain guests.

"Okay." Lin Yan agreed without hesitation: "But the 'below' you mentioned is a bit far..."

When Lin Yan came here just now, he also came from the Van Horn Trading Port. It took him a full hour to get from there to here.

"Far? Not bad. Compared to Saint Denis, this distance is nothing. Besides, this is for the food. It's worth running for a whole day, not to mention an hour."

One hour later, Van Horn Trading Port.

Van Horn Trade Port is not a town, it serves as a trade transit station between St. Denis and Annesburg, but due to the development of railway transportation, this transit station has declined. It was noon when Lin Yan and Professor Dragic arrived here, but as the only street here, there were very few pedestrians on the street.

Professor Dragic seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of depression. He took Lin Yan straight to the pub in the middle of the street.

The tavern located in the center of this row of buildings is the only single-story building and is also the liveliest place on the street.

"Thomas, two servings of fish stew!" As soon as he entered the tavern, Professor Dragic shouted at the bartender.

"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon." Upon hearing this, the bartender Thomas turned and went into the inner room.

After following the professor into the room, Lin Yan casually glanced at the guests here. Rather than calling this a pub, it would be better to call it a restaurant, because every guest sitting here may not have wine on the table in front of them, but there must be food, most of which is a plate of black things that cannot be identified.

After looking around, his eyes were fixed on a man with a strange appearance. Even when he was sitting, he was a head taller than the lady next to him. Moreover, his head was two times smaller than that of an ordinary person, and his forehead was flat, as if it had been ironed.

He has a big body, a small head and a flat forehead. Even without makeup, he would look stunning on Halloween.

It was the first time in Lin Yan's life that he had seen someone with this kind of appearance. Coincidentally, Professor Dragic found a seat right next to him. After sitting down, Lin Yan frequently focused his attention on this strange man.
