At midnight, the system broadcast rang in Lin Yan's ears on time.

Half asleep and half awake, he muttered in a dreamlike voice: "Really... disturbing my sleep every day... what a crappy system, not smart at all..."

[Ding! We have received feedback from players and the system has been adjusted to a real-time reward mode. ]

"...Huh...Huh...That's more like it...Huh..."

When Lin Yan opened his eyes again, it was already bright day. The entire camp was filled with a faint mist mixed with the pungent smell of cheap coffee.

"Bah! Pearson, why is the coffee so bad today?" Sean asked in his unique Irish accent not far from Lin Yan's bed.

"I can't help it. The bag of coffee powder I usually drink was not sealed when it was loaded into the truck yesterday, and it spilled on the truck. This is the stock from a few years ago that I dug out from the junk pile. Those of you who want to drink it can make do with it."

"So-so? Can you taste it yourself before you say that? Can you call this coffee? Even if I just grab a handful of dirt from the ground and throw it into water and boil it, it will taste better than this."

"Drink if you want, forget it if you don't want!"

This conversation between Sean and Pearson successfully aroused Lin Yan's curiosity. What does this coffee taste like? How could it be worse than mud soup?

With great curiosity, Lin Yan got up, put on his coat and leather boots, walked to the campfire, picked up the coffee pot and poured himself half a cup.

After pouring it, Lin Yan did not taste it immediately, but observed the liquid in the cup first.

The liquid in the tin cup was not the usual dark brown, but more like the light brown with milk. Compared to the color of this cup of "coffee", its taste was more of a concern to Lin Yan. The coffee powder that Pearson used before, although it could smell a little bitter, was not pungent in the hand. But this one today was not like that. Not only did it have a light sour and bitter taste, it was also a little pungent.

"Ah...A-choo!"

Under this double stimulation, Lin Yan couldn't help but sneeze. He rubbed his nose and suddenly wondered if he was a little reckless this time. Just when he was about to give up, he saw Javier pick up the coffee pot and pour himself a cup, then drank it all in one gulp as if nothing had happened.

Oh my god! Javier didn't react at all, so this thing shouldn't be as bad as Sean said...

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Yan picked up the cup, held his breath and took a sip. As soon as the warm liquid entered his throat, a strong sour, bitter, astringent, and earthy smell quickly occupied Lin Yan's entire oral and nasal cavity. Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Yan still put on a painful mask.

He finally understood why Sean said that mud soup tasted better than this. Drinking too much of this stuff would really kill you...

After taking just one sip, Lin Yan threw down the cup, ran to the lake, and began to rinse his mouth desperately.

My goodness, he thought that the bitter coffee he had before was the worst that could be tasted, but he didn't expect that there are always people better than you, and there is always coffee better than you. There is no such thing as the worst, only worse.

After rinsing his mouth with lake water several times, he went back and took out a can of canned peaches from his space bag. After drinking half of the can of sugar water in one breath, Lin Yan, who felt like he had lost half his life, finally recovered.

"How does that saying go?... Curiosity kills the cat! You said I have nothing better to do than to be curious about it..." Thinking back to what he did just now, Lin Yan wanted to slap himself twice.

A pleasant day began from this unpleasant morning. On the 12th day in the game world, Lin Yan finally had some real leisure time.

After breakfast, most people in the gang chose to take a break, wandering around, hunting, fishing, etc. Lin Yan, who had never experienced these, joined their team without hesitation. Even in the game, you have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

There were quite a lot of people who wanted to go fishing today, including Javier, Lenny and other gunmen, but also Dutch and Hosea. They all took their fishing rods and rowed the only boat docked at the campsite's pier to the center of Brandywine Lake.

There were many unused fishing rods in the camp. Lin Yan and Sadie each took one. Just as the two were discussing whether to fish nearby or go somewhere farther away, Jilan timidly walked up to them and asked with courage, "Can you take me one?"

Seeing Kiran, Sadie's face suddenly fell. She threw the fishing rod back to its original place and said coldly: "You guys go, I won't go." After that, she turned and walked towards her own three-acre land.

"Sorry, I...I didn't mean it." Seeing Sadie's face change almost at the speed of light and leave angrily, Kiran seemed a little at a loss. He could only keep apologizing to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was also a little troubled by Sadie's attitude towards Kieran. Sadie's husband was killed by the O'Driscoll Gang, so it was natural for Sadie to hate all members of this gang.

As for Kieran, although he was originally a member of the O'Driscoll Gang, he said that he did some odd jobs like feeding horses there, and never did anything harmful. After being caught by Arthur, he was tortured and imprisoned for a while. After helping Sadie find her enemy, he chose to stay in the Van der Linde Gang for fear of retaliation, and his daily work was still odd jobs like feeding horses. For him, the specific work did not change, but the work location was changed from one place to another.

Is it wrong for people to make choices for life? In Lin Yan's opinion, it is not wrong. Moreover, according to his observation, what Jilan said about himself before should be true. He can also see from some details in his daily life that Jilan really likes to be with horses. A young man with a timid personality, who likes animals and treats people sincerely and politely, although he has done what we define as "wrong things", Lin Yan thinks he deserves to be "forgiven".

Looking at Kiran, who looked so pitiful and kept apologizing to him, Lin Yan felt a little bit of pity.

"It's okay." He reached out and patted Kiran's shoulder, comforting him: "Sadi's opinion of you won't change in a short time, don't be discouraged, I will persuade her more in the future." After that, he put his arm around Kiran's neck carelessly, "If she doesn't go, then the two of us will go."

In Lin Yan's opinion, the action of hugging each other's shoulders was very common between men, but it inexplicably touched the softest part of Jilan's heart. Looking at the smile Lin Yan showed him, he also smiled back and said with gratitude:

"Well! Thank you, Mr. Custer!"
