Wilderness Redemption Tour

During dinner, news of the appearance of Pinkerton detectives nearby spread quickly in the camp. In order to prevent panic from spreading in the camp, Dutch gathered everyone together to calm them down.

Thanks to Dutch's personal charm and leadership skills, most people were convinced by him, so the situation did not develop in a more chaotic direction.

There were only two opponents, Hosea and Abigail. They believed that Dutch should not gamble with everyone's safety. Since Pinkerton detectives had appeared nearby, the location of the camp was no longer safe and the gang's station should be moved immediately.

To this end, Dutch had a special one-hour conversation with the two of them. Lin Yan did not know the content of the conversation, but after the conversation, although Abigail still looked a little reluctant, she and Hosea still agreed with Dutch's point of view.

In the evening, in order to reassure everyone, Dutch announced that the number of people responsible for night watch would be increased from one to three, and a rotation system would be implemented. Except for the steep cliff west of the Horseshoe Lookout, two people were assigned to each of the other three directions, and the rotation was divided by 1 a.m.

Lin Yan originally wanted to contribute his own strength to the gang, but out of consideration for the newcomer, Arthur did not assign him the task of night watch.

On the tenth day of entering the game, Lin Yan suffered from insomnia. On the one hand, it was because today was the most leisurely day he had in so many days. He was not tired and therefore did not feel sleepy. On the other hand, he was always worried that the Pinkerton detectives would launch a surprise attack on the camp. When that happened, gunshots would be heard everywhere and the people would be in chaos. In that situation, he didn't know how many companions he would lose.

Unable to sleep and without much entertainment, and remembering that he had not used up his hidden mission reward yet, Lin Yan closed his eyes and entered the system's lottery interface.

My current attributes look okay, so I'll just draw skills this time.

After a little thought, Lin Yan activated the skill turntable.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the intermediate lasso. ]

Lasso? Seeing this skill, Lin Yan instantly became excited. This is another weapon that cowboys use to show off their coolness in the movies, in addition to their gun skills.

In addition to being used against animals such as horses and cows, the lasso is also a weapon. Once you master this skill, you can quickly and harmlessly subdue the opponent when chasing on horseback. Of course, as long as you are strong and can throw accurately, this method is also applicable on land.

Having drawn a useful skill, Lin Yan, who was already unable to sleep, was even less sleepy now. He sat up from the bed and looked around.

At this tense moment, the bonfire that usually burns all night was not burned tonight because of concerns that using fire at night would attract unnecessary attention. Unfortunately, the moonlight tonight was also obscured by thick clouds, which made Lin Yan experience what it was like to stretch out one's hand and not see one's face in front of one's face.

Looking around, there was nothing but darkness. Lin Yan couldn't help but complain in his heart: The news is not good, why is the weather not good either? Is this really a sign of an impending storm?

Lin Yan originally wanted to get out of bed and chat with Arthur, who was on night watch, but the pitch-black night made him give up the idea. He had no choice but to lie down again, close his eyes, empty his mind, and force himself to sleep.

Just when he felt he was about to fall asleep, the system broadcast that came as scheduled at midnight every day woke him up again.

[Starting to check the player's progress... Checking completed. Achievement obtained: Western Killer. Achievement obtained: A bright face. Achievement obtained: Task expert. Congratulations to the player for completing three achievements and obtaining 3 free attribute points. ]

[When the player's favorability with Kieran Duffy reaches 60 points, he will be rewarded with 1 ordinary lottery draw. ]

Lin Yan chose to skip the achievement part. There was no detailed description of this thing so far. Some of them he didn't even know how he got them just by looking at the names, so it was better to just go with the flow. It would be great to get achievements, but it didn't matter if he didn't.

In his opinion, after a character's attributes reach a certain threshold, a little more or less will make the gaming experience just the same. In this world, no matter how strong your physique is, you can be defeated by just one bullet.

If one doesn't work, then add another one.

His focus was on Kiran's inexplicably growing favorability.

What's going on with Jilan? I haven't done anything to him, how come his favorability has suddenly reached 60...

Now fully awake, he carefully reviewed the scenes in which he had interacted with Kiran in the past few days.

From being curious about his identity when he was tied to a tree when he first arrived, to witnessing the whole process of Sadie threatening him to tell Colm's whereabouts, to being responsible for watching over him when he was still regarded as an enemy during the raid on the Six O'Clock Cabin.

From then on, it was just some trivial matters in the camp, nothing more than chatting with him, saying hello, being polite occasionally, saying thank you, and not doing anything to increase favorability significantly.

Could it be that because the other people in the camp treated Kiran so badly, and compared to them, my behavior was like that of a saint, so Kiran's impression of me increased?

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yan felt that this was the most reliable explanation.

As he was thinking, the sleepiness that had disappeared reappeared. Lin Yan yawned, turned sideways, assumed a comfortable sleeping position, and closed his eyes.

The next morning, Lin Yan was awakened by the unique smell of coffee. He sat up from the bed with difficulty and found that almost everyone who got up had a cup of coffee in their hands.

When did this crap become so popular? I never saw many people drinking it before. Could it be that everyone didn't sleep well at night? Lin Yan muttered as he put on his boots, got up and walked to the supply wagon, picked up a cup, and poured himself a cup.

The bitter liquid with a slight earthy smell instantly made him feel refreshed once it entered his throat. Although its refreshing effect was not as good as that of the magical Fengyoujing, its effectiveness was also first-class.

"It seems you didn't sleep well last night." Sadie's voice came from behind Lin Yan.

He turned around and saw that Sadie had changed into formal clothes again: a dark red plaid shirt with a blue-green scarf, reddish-brown fleece pants, and the same pair of shoes as before. She was not wearing a hat, and her hair was a little wet, probably because she had just washed it.

"It would be strange if you could sleep peacefully under such circumstances." Lin Yan complained bluntly as he looked at his partner in front of him who was full of energy and not at all tired.

Sadie took a tray from the car and scooped a few spoonfuls of leftover stew from the hanging pot. "There are people on guard, so there is nothing to worry about. The enemy will not secretly cut your throat while you sleep."

...Haha, you have a really big heart...

Finding that he couldn't defeat the other party with words, Lin Yan took a big gulp of coffee, swallowed it with difficulty, and then squeezed out a few words from his throat: "What you said... makes sense..."
