Wilderness Redemption Tour

"Has he always been so...abstract?" Lin Yan looked at the painting on the bar, then at the painter's leaving back, and asked the bartender.

The bartender took away the painter's glass and said while wiping the bar, "I don't know what abstract is, but I think what he said just now makes sense. Art is not as attractive as women to men."

"By the way, do you guys want to order anything else? I've never seen anyone go to a bar and order lemonade specifically."

"Give us each a portion of fried fish." Sadie, who had been silent since entering the door, said at this time.

"Okay." The bartender didn't care that she didn't order wine. "You guys sit downstairs and wait for a while. The food is a little slow to come out."

The appearance of the painter was just a small episode, and did not stir up any waves in the hearts of Lin Yan and Sadie. After sitting down, Lin Yan told Sadie about the circus trio headed by Marjorie while waiting.

Speaking of deformed people, Sadie behaved like most people, being interested in this group of people who looked different from ordinary people. After discovering that she was interested in this topic, Lin Yan took the opportunity to describe to her some of the physical characteristics of other deformed people he knew, such as people with abundant body hair, people with deformed hands and legs, people with two rows of teeth in their mouths, conjoined twins, and people with two heads, which made Sadie stunned.

After finishing their lunch, the two of them walked leisurely towards the theater, leading the horses. It was about 12:30, and they could pick a good seat in advance.

"Come and take a look at the latest book on how to get rich. Do you want to be successful? Do you want to be rich? Do you want to be on an equal footing with the upper class? Come and buy my book! Just do what I say in my book and you will become rich."

Not long after walking out of the pub, a man's passionate shouting on the side of the road attracted the attention of Lin Yan and Sadie at the same time.

Sadie, who was walking side by side with Lin Yan on the street, turned around and asked Lin Yan: "What's that selling in front? It's so loud."

Lin Yan stood on tiptoe and took a look from a distance: "It seems to be selling books... It's too far away, I can't see clearly."

The man was still shouting hard: "The best hat, the most exquisite cane, the most expensive cigar, the most charming wife, a hundred servants, and a luxurious villa by the lake are all waiting for you. It depends on whether you have the vision and can make the right choice now!"

Although he shouted so hard, few passers-by stopped to watch, let alone came forward to ask about buying.

"I am brave enough to stand here and teach you the secret of getting rich like a fool, just because I care, but I only care about those who are willing to read."

“Buy this book, read it, and do exactly what it says. Sooner or later, you will become a tycoon who builds railroads and opens factories. You will not be a passenger on the railroads, but the one who owns them!”

While walking towards the theater, Lin Yan listened to his entire shouting. To be honest, even during the days when he was in the most difficult financial situation, he did not believe this man's lies.

Isn’t this the success theory that was popular on the Internet in the past few years?

It turns out that there is so-called success science in this era. Unfortunately, this guy’s eloquence is poor, the product promotion is not passionate enough, and the scam process is just a one-time transaction, so the efficiency is too low.

I wonder what would happen if those modern success gurus came here? With their eloquence, maybe they would achieve something great...

When Lin Yan thought about the modern "masters" who were repeatedly tortured and whipped on the Internet and came to this era, he quickly grew into a big boss with his own abilities, and he wanted to laugh. Maybe there really was such a person who entered the game with him, and he would definitely be the protagonist, and he would be a pawn at best.

"Hey, sir, do you want to be rich?" Lin Yan didn't want to pay attention to this person and was about to walk away from him, but the system made this NPC come forward and grab Lin Yan's arm and try to sell his products to him.

"Can I become rich by buying your book?" Sadie stopped and asked curiously.

"Of course, anyone can succeed as long as they do what I write in my book," said the gold-clad salesman shamelessly.

Lin Yan, who knew what the other party was up to, shook off his hand and was about to leave with Sadie, "Let's go. If he had money, would he still be setting up a stall on the street to sell books? Wouldn't it be better to open a bookstore and hire people to sell for him?"

Sadie, who wanted to continue asking for the price, thought carefully and felt that Lin Yan was right. However, she was a little curious about the price of the book, so she asked, "How much do you sell this book for?"

"Only fifty dollars, ma'am."

"Fifty? Just for this book?" Hearing this outrageous price, Sadie subconsciously raised her voice.

"Ma'am, that's a great price! After reading this book, you'll be thinking, 'Why is something this good only 50? Five hundred is worth the value of what you'll learn from it.'"

When the other party quoted the price, Sadie was not sure whether he was a liar, but what he said next made Sadie more certain.

Since you say this book is worth 500, why don't you sell it for 500? If everything written in it is true, the higher the price you sell it, the more assured the buyer will be.

"Let's go." After confirming that the man was a liar, Sadie ignored him no matter how he tried to sell her products. She took Lin Yan and left without looking back.

When we arrived at the Harlech Theater, people were already filling up the theater even though the show was still 20 minutes away. At that time, people didn't have many entertainment activities, so watching a show, listening to an opera, a play, or a concert during lunch break was considered a leisure activity for the upper class.

The first two rows of seats in the theater were already full, so Lin Yan and Sadie could only choose seats at the back. In order to achieve a better stage effect, Lin Yan wanted to choose a seat in the middle of the fourth row, but Sadie patted him on the shoulder and pointed at an audience member at the side of the second row and said, "Look at that guy, the one at the side of the second row, isn't that Arthur?"

Lin Yan looked in the direction that Sadie pointed, and suddenly saw the gambler's hat that Arthur wore all year round, which was said to be left to him by his father.

"It's really Arthur, why is he here?" Lin Yan muttered to himself.

When he shifted his gaze and saw the woman sitting next to Arthur, everything seemed to make sense.

So Lin Yan decisively gave up his previous plan and took Sadie to sit in the third row, diagonally behind Arthur.

"Did you see Arthur's girlfriend yesterday?" After sitting down, Lin Yan asked Sadie in a low voice.

Sadie shook her head and whispered, "No, I've never seen him. Could that person next to him be Mary?"

"It must be, otherwise why would Arthur come here? He's not the type to come here on his own."
