Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 221 Profiteers

The rewards for this mission are exactly the same as the last hidden mission, which are 3 free attribute points and a normal turntable draw.

Thinking that his passive skills were almost enough, Lin Yan chose the attribute wheel without hesitation.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the attribute: Strength +5. ]

Tsk...how is it power...

Lin Yan shook his head regretfully and left the lottery space with a little regret.

In his opinion, the application of strength in daily life is just to move things or lift people, as long as the points are enough. There is no British strongman to lift you. You can't throw bricks at the opponent when the points are high, right? After the strength attribute exceeds a certain threshold, the benefits are basically zero. Both sides of the battle have guns in their hands, why are they still fighting stupidly? Wouldn't it be better to show off biting a lighter?

On the way back, Lin Yan finally remembered where he had seen that peculiarly shaped carriage.

Wasn't that the carriage of Leonard, the black doctor who had given him a small bottle of panacea? He had helped to take the carriage back from a group of robbers.

It seems that I really have a connection with this black doctor. Last time I heard that he was going to the West, I didn’t expect to meet him again in the small fishing village of Lagrasse.

Time quickly came to the next day. Early this morning, Lin Yan just got up and heard Dutch and Molly quarreling fiercely in the villa. In the past, these two people often quarreled, but Dutch was always the weaker party. But today, this "routine" was reversed. Dutch yelled at Molly in an unusually angry manner:

"You never cared about my work, never! In your eyes, everyone except those in my gang is not your family?"

"I have never ignored you on purpose, but right now the gang's affairs are clearly more important than you. Can you sort out the priorities?"

"What? Give up? Run away? That's all well and good of you to say, but have you ever thought about where our travel expenses will come from? How are we going to live after we get there? Have you ever thought about these seriously? If you had used your brain at all, you wouldn't have asked such stupid questions!"

"Does yelling at you mean I don't love you? Think about how you scolded me in front of everyone before. Did you give me any face? I, Dutch van der Linde, am not your Miss Molly O'Shea's dog, and this is not your manor. Others are not your servants, so please put down your rich lady's airs and open your eyes to see how people like us struggle to survive in this fucked-up society!"

The quarrel ended there. After a while, Dutch appeared at the door of the villa with a serious expression. He stood there blankly, looking at his busy companions in the camp, not knowing what he was thinking.

As the camp's funny guy, Sean has been trying hard to use his talent for talking nonsense these days to ease everyone's emotions and prevent others from losing confidence in the gang and Dutch.

Today was the same. As soon as Dutch and Molly stopped arguing, he climbed onto the square table in the center of the camp and once again told others what he knew about Tahiti.

"That place is simply a paradise for us! Soft sandy beaches, clear blue waters, young girls who can sing and dance, all kinds of exotic fruits we have never seen... The most important thing is that the land there is extremely cheap. The money to buy a small farm here is enough to buy five times the land here. If you have enough money, it is not impossible to buy a small island. At that time, not to mention becoming a big farmer, you can even be an island owner or a lord..."

Everyone was already used to Sean's talkative personality, so they were not surprised by his exaggerated rhetoric. They just continued to do what they were supposed to do, but at least they felt much better.

After returning yesterday, Lin Yan told Sadie what he had seen and heard in the Lagras Swamp. When she heard that Lin Yan risked his life to save Jules at the risk of being bitten, she couldn't help but get nervous even though she knew that Lin Yan had returned safely; when she heard that the giant crocodile wanted to swallow the dynamite into its mouth, she slapped her thigh and laughed, saying that there were actually such stupid animals.

After using up the bundle of explosives yesterday, Lin Yan's stock was almost gone. Previously, Lenny and Arthur robbed the Lemoyne Raiders' arsenal, which was Shady Belle before they moved here, and brought back several boxes of this explosives. At that time, Lin Yan thought that this kind of weapon with quite limited functions should be rarely used, so he only took a symbolic amount, and most of the rest was sold by Hosea. Now seeing that there was not much stock on the supply wagon of the camp, Lin Yan decided to take Shady out to get some more before the mission started in the evening.

They first went to a gun shop in Rhodes, but were told that there was no such thing. The shop owner suggested that if they wanted to buy it, they should go to Annesburg, which is a mining town, and explosives are essential for mining.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yan decided to go to the black market to ask Simos first. After all, the Emerald Ranch was closer.

When we arrived at the Emerald Ranch, we found Simos and asked him. He did have some, but the price was a bit too high, two dollars for one. He said this was a preferential price for regular customers like Lin Yan.

Thinking that if he went to Annesburg, he would have to spend a whole day on the road for the round trip, Lin Yan, who now had no foreign debt and a small surplus, finally chose to replenish some in Simos.

When he left, Lin Yan cursed. Because after the deal, when he was chatting with Simos, he accidentally mentioned the recycling price of this thing: twenty dollars a box, one hundred pieces a box. Just a simple transfer, this profiteer made five times the profit, which was worse than robbery, and Lin Yan wanted to suggest that Dutch change his career.

That evening, Lin Yan and others, who had finished dinner early, mounted their horses in unison at Dachi's command and headed straight for Lagrasse under his leadership.

"Dutch, when we get to Tahiti, do you think there will be guys like Bronte there?" Bill asked Dutch this question on the way.

"Even if there is, what can it do?" Dutch replied nonchalantly, "By then we won't need to stir up trouble to make a living. He lives his life and we live ours. As long as we don't affect each other, why would he embarrass us?"

"Is Tahiti really like Sean said? Isn't it an uncivilized and wild land?" John also asked a question.

Dutch shrugged and put on a confused expression: "To be honest, I don't know either. I just heard from a captain who had been there that it was like heaven compared to the United States."
