Wilderness Redemption Tour

Chapter 9 Lottery System

Hmm? Lin Yan was stunned for a while in his sleep before he reacted.

What's going on? Am I dreaming? This dream is really strange. Lin Yan muttered a few words in his sleep, but ignored him and turned over to continue sleeping.

[Remind players! Remind players! The lottery system only exists for ten minutes and is not cumulative. If players miss it, they will be deemed to have given up the chance to draw this time. The lottery system will disappear soon, and the three-minute countdown begins now. ]

When Lin Yan heard the electronic sound again, he was startled and woke up instantly, but he felt as if there was a timer in his mind that was still ticking. Not a dream? Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, then focused his attention on his mind.

Following the sound of the timer, Lin Yan saw a dazzling light flashing in a certain area of ​​his brain. A large digital timer was hanging in the void, and the numbers on it were constantly changing: 2:37, 2:36, 2:35...

Realizing that this was obviously a countdown, Lin Yan did not hesitate any longer. With a thought, he dived into the dazzling light.

A moment later, Lin Yan found himself standing in front of three small turntables, two of which were dim, while the other one was shining with colorful light.

The moment he saw the turntable, Lin Yan's mind immediately acquired the information about it.

The two darker ones are ordinary lottery wheels, one corresponding to player skills and the other corresponding to player attributes. The wheel with colorful light is the special lottery wheel, which has both attributes and skills, as well as rare items.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Yan did not look closely at the contents on the turntable, thinking: Never mind, just turn it first! As he said that, he turned the three turntables one by one.

Without paying attention to the two ordinary turntables, Lin Yan focused all his attention on the special turntable that was shining with colorful light. The turntable slowly stopped, and the turntable pointer stopped at a name called "Eye of Death".

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the intermediate revolver mastery, physical strength +5, and the Death Eye skill. The player currently has one chance left for a normal lottery. ]

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lin Yan felt as if the system's tone seemed a lot more cheerful when announcing the prizes.

Without checking what he had obtained, Lin Yan first considered which turntable to spin. At this time, he was completely awake, and as his thoughts raced, he had already made up his mind.

The attribute value should be used to enhance my physical strength, which does not seem to be so important in the West where "American Iai" is the main focus, so I'd better choose skills for the remaining chance.

After making the decision, Lin Yan turned the skill wheel for the normal lottery again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned the dial, the system gave me another prompt.

[System error! The player has already obtained the Death Eye skill in advance, so this special prize is invalid. Please draw again. ]

Ah? There is such a thing? I got the Eye of Death in advance, how come I didn't know? Countless question marks appeared in Lin Yan's mind. But he didn't have time to think about it. Under the urging of time, he quickly turned the turntable with colorful light again.

The ordinary turntable stopped first, and the slightly more cheerful system voice sounded again: [Congratulations to the player for obtaining the intermediate riding skill. ]

Ahaha! I didn't expect that I have both riding skills and marksmanship. I guess I can be considered a qualified cowboy! Lin Yan was very satisfied with the results of the two draws.

With anticipation, he looked intently at the special lottery wheel that was about to stop.

The turntable slowly stopped, and its pointer pointed at the narrowest prize area.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the special passive skill: Chosen One! ]

The Chosen One? What is this? Just as Lin Yan was about to take a closer look, he heard the system voice sound again: [This lottery is over, and the lottery area is closed. ]

Lin Yan only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he came to his senses again, he found himself still lying on the bed in the camp, and Arthur, who was sleeping next to him, was snoring loudly.

Gazing at the brilliant starry sky that could not be seen in the city, accompanied by the chirping of insects all around, Lin Yan tried to enter the system in his mind again.

Suddenly, a simple system interface appeared in front of him, which marked his physical attributes and skills. There was also a task box in the corner, but it was empty now.

Haha, it's not a dream, it's real! I never thought that I would be lucky enough to become the protagonist one day. Lin Yan was surprised and happily clicked on his attribute menu.

Name: Jamie Custer

Stamina: 6

Energy: 1

Stamina: 1

Power: 1

Agility: 1

Charisma: 2

Lin Yan read the explanations for each attribute one by one, and they were similar to the explanations in other games. He muttered: So before, except that my charm was slightly higher than the minimum value, I had a blank panel. This is too miserable. But why is there charm? If the charm is high, will the female characters throw themselves at me as soon as they meet? Is this game so exciting? Hey, there is another line of small words below, players will automatically get 1 free attribute point every week, and attribute points will be obtained according to the player's performance during the adventure. Hmm, this is quite like a guaranteed mechanism. Maybe some unlucky guys will get the same attribute points when they turn the wheel.

Then Lin Yan opened the skill menu again. There were now four skills on it: Intermediate Revolver Mastery, Intermediate Riding, Eye of the God of Death, and Chosen Son. Lin Yan looked at the notes again. The first two were nothing special. It was nothing more than that he had mastered the relevant knowledge of riding and revolver shooting and could skillfully control both. Then he looked at the notes of Eye of the God of Death.

Dead Eye: Active skill. When the skill is activated, the passage of time will slow down, but you can still move at normal speed. Negative effect: When the skill is activated, the player's heartbeat will continue to speed up as the use time increases. After reaching the critical point, the skill will become ineffective. Tip: Physical strength will have a direct impact on the activation time of the skill.

It turns out that I accidentally activated this skill when I saved Arthur. Is it because I realized it? It seems that if I have comprehension or luck attributes, my character should not be low. Lin Yan was very satisfied with this "accidentally realized" skill. Then he looked at the annotation of the last skill "Chosen One".

The Chosen One: Passive skill. You are the luckiest person in the world, have fun!

When seeing this explanation, Lin Yan's mouth twitched. What kind of funny explanation is this? Go ahead and have fun, but you have to tell me the restrictions. Otherwise, it would be unfair to be killed for no reason.

Is it possible to surf without limit? I don't dare to do an experiment to prove it. I'm afraid of the unexpected. Maybe it will suddenly break down while surfing.

But this passive skill is still very powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a super jackpot in the special wheel. I am really lucky this time. It seems that this system still takes good care of me as a player. Hehe, what Wild West, what O'Driscoll Gang, what capitalists, your grandpa Lin Yan is here!

The next morning, when the Horseshoe Lookout, located on the top of the hill, was still a little foggy, Lin Yan had already gotten up. In fact, he had not fallen asleep since he woke up in the middle of the night, and he had been fantasizing about how he would kill everyone in the future and finally win the beauty. He even conceived several different plots in his mind, but without exception, he defeated the bad guys and then received everyone's admiration.

It was still a little cold in the morning at Horseshoe Lookout. After Lin Yan put on his clothes again, he stood in front of Arthur's bed and checked the ornaments he had placed on the crate next to him. There were two photo frames on the crate, with two different women on them. Lin Yan first picked up the older one and looked at it. When he found that he didn't recognize it, he turned the photo frame over and saw the words "Beatrice Morgan - 1870" written on it.

This should be a photo of Arthur's mother, taken in 1870. Lin Yan nodded, put it back, and picked up another one. This was not a woman in the camp either. Lin Yan turned it over and there was nothing written on the back.

The longer one should be Arthur's mother. Who is this woman? Is she Arthur's wife? Lin Yan could only think of this possibility. In addition, there was a newspaper clipping about the bank robbery under the photo frame. Lin Yan took a quick look and thought that this should have been done by the Van der Linde Gang before, otherwise Arthur would not have put it by his bed. Putting the photo frame back in place, Lin Yan turned around and saw several other photos on the carriage fender next to Arthur's bed. These photos were not placed in the photo frame, but were directly posted on the carriage fender by Arthur.

There were three men on one of the photos, one standing and two sitting. Lin Yan took a closer look and could barely tell that it was a photo of Arthur, Dutch, and Hosea when they were young. These three were quite handsome when they were young. It's true that they age easily when they are exposed to the wind and sun. Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh.

Another photo showed a man wearing a hat similar to Arthur's. Lyle Morgan was written on the front of the photo. Lin Yan guessed that this should be his father. The last photo was a photo of a dog, which should have been one of Arthur's dogs.

I don’t know if it was the noise made by Lin Yan that woke Arthur up, or if Arthur just had the habit of getting up early, but when Lin Yan checked all of Arthur’s furnishings and was about to take a walk around the camp, Arthur opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

"Ah... I drank a little too much last night." Arthur rubbed his temple and said to himself.

"Oh, Jamie, you're awake. How did you sleep last night?" Arthur stood up and saw Lin Yan standing beside him and looking at him, and asked casually.

Can I say that I only slept for the first half of the night? Lin Yan complained in his heart, then smiled and said, "Very good! Arthur, won't you sleep for a while?"

"Well, it's time to sleep. The camp has just moved here, and there are a lot of things to deal with every day. Go wash your face and see if Pearson's breakfast is ready." Arthur said as he stood up and put on his boots.

After washing his face at the camp's public water bucket, Arthur asked the busy camp cook, "Pearson, is breakfast ready?"

Pearson had just finished his work. He wiped his hands on his apron and said, "The meal is ready. It's yesterday's leftovers. Coffee will take a while."

"Oh, that's great. Jamie, let's eat first." Arthur said to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan looked at the food on the plate. The breakfast was a hodgepodge made from yesterday's broth, bread and leftover roast meat. It was mainly soup, and there wasn't much food to fill his stomach. Lin Yan tasted it and found it tasted a bit bland because too much water was added. After Lin Yan finished what he had in his hand, he didn't serve any more. Arthur, on the other hand, served himself again after finishing his meal.

After finishing this simple breakfast, the coffee in the coffee percolator next to him was ready. Arthur poured himself a cup first, then sat aside and tasted it leisurely. Lin Yan had never drunk coffee before, and he thought that people here had the tradition of drinking coffee, so he should integrate into it. So he also poured himself a small cup. Blowing the hot steam on the surface, Lin Yan took a sip, and the strong bitterness and sourness immediately made him feel a lot more energetic.

Is this their daily drink? I really can't accept it, but it's really a great way to refresh yourself. Lin Yan savored the bitterness and sourness in his mouth and didn't want to take a second sip. When no one was paying attention to him, he quietly poured the unfinished coffee at his feet.

"Arthur, what are we going to do today?" Lin Yan asked when he saw Arthur finish the coffee in the cup.

"Oh, let's see if anyone else in the camp has found any work, and get you a gun. It would be best if we could get you a horse." Arthur answered calmly, pouring himself another cup of coffee.

"Okay." Lin Yan agreed with this idea. It just so happened that he already had two skills, intermediate riding and intermediate revolver, and he also wanted to see what level the so-called intermediate level could reach.

There should be a few unused guns in the gang, but it's hard to say about horses. A horse should be quite expensive. We can't just rob them. Hey, why am I still thinking like a normal person? We are a group of bandits, why can't we rob them? Patting his head, Lin Yan was a little distressed that he couldn't recognize his current position.

After breakfast, Arthur went to feed the horses and communicate with them. With nothing to do, Lin Yan came to the edge of the horseshoe lookout and looked at the scenery in the distance. As the fog in the camp dissipated, people got up one after another, and the whole camp became active again.

"Hey, Jamie, you are here. I heard from Arthur that he wanted to get you a horse. There happens to be a horse in the camp that needs to be sold. I thought you can go to the town with Arthur to sell the horse, and then we will get you another one." Hosea, wearing a blue western hat and a fur coat, found Lin Yan who was looking at the scenery and suggested to him.

"Mr. Matthews." Lin Yan turned around and saw the old man in the camp walking towards him, so he asked, "Did you come here to see me on purpose?"

Hosea chuckled and said, "It was just a coincidence that I ran into you. I take a look at the scenery around the camp every morning."

Lin Yan thought about what the other party had just said, frowned and asked: "You said there are idle horses in the camp, so why can't I ride this one? I have to sell it and buy another one?"

Hosea smiled and explained, "Oh, that's a Shire horse, a pack horse. It's not suitable for long-distance riding. In addition, its temperament is a bit bad. I don't think it can be used as a pack horse. You and Arthur can take him away later. You can use my saddle temporarily."

Lin Yan nodded gratefully and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you, Mr. Matthews."

Upon hearing the news, Lin Yan immediately said goodbye to Hosea and found Arthur who was sorting the saddle bags at the entrance of the camp.
