Chapter 2 System activation
Rhodes, a small town, two families in the town, the Gray and Braiswet families, have been revenge for generations, and the reason for revenge is unclear, but the young people of the two families still maintain a hostile state.
However, not everyone in the family is consistent with the outside world, and there are always some exceptions, such as Bow Gray of the Gray family and Penelope Bracewayt of the Bracewayt family.
The Gray family mastered the security of Rhodes, while the Bracewit family mingled with the Lemoen Raiders near Rhodes. The two families each mastered the black and white paths of Rhodes.
A train came from St. Denny, a car carrying coal. The driver replenished some supplies in Rhodes and continued on the way.
After Wang Xuance felt the train slowly stopping, he looked out from the side of the car and saw a water tower, next to it was a post office, and a crowded tavern not far away. He knew that business was good at first glance. Now the sky is dark, at least after 11 o'clock in the evening, but it is still very lively.
He got off the train carefully, compared the location of the water tower, and then slowly approached the grove. From time to time, he compared the location of the water tower to make sure that he was not going wrong. Soon, he found a few stones next to the grove.
There are not many stones, but the distribution is very similar to that of Wang Xuance when playing games.
I took a few steps and walked to the middle of the pile of stones. I only remember that there was a gold bar under a flat stone on the ground in the game.
The pile of stones is composed of several large stones half surrounded by some gravel. In the game, after completing random events, the gold bars were discovered here. Now that I have come to this world, I should be able to get this gold bar without completing the task. I just hope that the gold bar has been hidden here. After all, the game is already after 1899, and now it is 1898.
Wang Xuance looked around carefully and found that there were indeed several stones that looked very flat, and it was very likely that something was hidden below.
Sure enough, after only two stones, I saw a golden metal strip under the second stone. It was obvious that this was the one in the game, and one was worth 500 yuan.
Looking around, there was no one, and it was safe. He rushed forward, picked up the gold bar and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Fortunately, there is no one around. The most important thing now is to find the black market, then sell the gold bar and get my start-up capital."
"I remember the black market was above Rhodes, in the middle of some small houses."
Wang Xuance recalled Rhodes' layout. As long as he walked through the post office himself and walked to the upper left, he could find the black market behind a shed.
I bypassed the post office, walked from the left side of the post office to the road, and continued to move forward for more than twenty minutes. Sure enough, there was a shabby shack in front, instead of just three like in the game, and someone was drinking around a bonfire in the middle of the shack.
After walking around the shed, I found a small window behind a shed. There was a man sleepy and planning to rest. Wang Xuance did not dare to delay and hurried forward, "Sir, wait a minute, I have something to sell here. I think you will definitely pay a lot of money. Do you need to take a look?"
The middle-aged man inside heard the sound and immediately opened his eyes that were not sleeping.
"Yes, my dear gentleman, I will receive everything here, as long as your things are valuable, and yes, as long as your things are interesting to me." The black market merchant opened the half-closed curtain, "What are you going to sell? This gentleman from the East."
As a black market businessman, he understands that no matter who the guest is, all he needs is just what the guest has in his hands.
Wang Xuance approached the window and pretended to be careless and took out the gold bar found under the stone.
"Sir, you are not from the neighborhood, right? As far as I know, there are no people from the East nearby." The black market merchant held the gold bars while observing carefully with a magnifying glass. "If the gentleman gets other gold bars in the future, he can also come to me for sale. The price here is absolutely fair."
"Of course, if I have new valuable goods, I will definitely come to you to take action. Of course, the premise is that your price is really fair." Wang Xuance said with a smile: "Now, can I give me the payment for the gold bar?"
"Of course, of course, haha, sir, you are really lucky. This is a gold bar worth $500. Wait, I'll give you the money right away." The black market businessman turned around, grabbed a handful of money box behind, then counted carefully, and took two more back: "Sir, please count it and determine if it's $500."
Wang Xuance took the money and was about to count it, an electronic sound suddenly appeared in his ears.
"Currency holding was detected and the system is being activated."
"System activation, system skills are being loaded."
"The system is activated successfully and the map is loading."
"The map is loading successfully, and the data is being loaded."
......
A series of electronic sounds appeared in my ears. Sure enough, as a time traveler, how could it be without a system?
It was not activated before, just because I didn’t have the currency of this era in my hands.
The system loads a lot of things, but it only took a few seconds in the real world.
The black market businessman next to him was stunned for a long time after seeing the customer on the other side getting the money, and couldn't help but worry. If the other side suddenly dies at his own place, it will be a bit troublesome to deal with the body by himself. Although this can get his own money back, if someone dies at his own place, then others will think that he is killing people and robbing people and is not honest, who dares to come to his own place to sell things in the future?
So he reminded Wang Xuance at the beginning: "Sir, hello, sir, are you okay?"
Hearing the voice of the black market businessman, Wang Xuance also woke up from the system's prompts, "Fortunately, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about how I'll spend the money."
"Haha, this is indeed a lot of money. I have been in the business industry for so long. It is the first time I have met someone who comes to sell this kind of thing. I hope you can bring me more gold bars in the future. If the color and weight are exactly the same as this one, then I will also buy it at the same price." It can be seen that black market merchants are very enthusiastic. After all, if this gold bar is sold in a big city like Saint Denny, it will definitely be more than 500 yuan I paid.
"Don't worry, sir, if I can really find other gold bars, I will definitely come to you again." Wang Xuance also beat him up and left quickly.
Now that he has money, the system has been activated. What he has to do is wash away the stains on his body. After all, he has rolled several times in the coal pile today, and even his face is covered with traces of coal. This is too uncomfortable.
Walking back, he remembered that Rhodes had two hotels in the game. Although one of them was full and no longer received others, now, I hope there will be a room, otherwise I could just go to the "Happy Palace" of Grey's house to open a room.
After another ten minutes, I finally walked on the road to Rhodes. After asking passers-by, I finally found a place called Mountain View Hotel.
"Sir, do you have any guest rooms? I think I need a guest room and bath water." Wang Xuance took out a $5 dollar, "By the way, do you provide dinner here?"
"Okay, but our hotel does not provide meal service, but if you need it, I can go to the tavern to buy you a copy." The front desk responded politely, "In addition, if you need a shower, please go from the corridor behind me to the end of the room, which has already prepared hot water."
"Go, go and prepare a steak and a bottle of whiskey for me." As he said, he pulled out ten more dollars of dollars, "and then buy me a set of clothes I usually wear. If it is not enough, you can buy me back the things and ask me to replenish you. If there is too much, it will be your tip."
"I know exactly what you need, sir, wait sir, as long as you finish bathing and wait in the room for a while, the delicious steak and whiskey will be delivered to your room."
Wang Xuance did not respond again. After all, he was very hungry now. It took three or four hours to get here from Saint Danny. Before traveling through time, he only ate some snacks to make up. In total, he hadn't eaten in eleven hours.
When I walked to the end of the corridor, it was a bathroom with a bathtub, which was filled with water. I tried the water temperature slightly and was still acceptable.
At this time, a female voice came from outside the door, "Sir, do you need service?"
"No, thank you."
"Okay." It was obvious that the female voice was a little disappointed. After all, they earned rewards by bathing customers or other services.
Wang Xuance washed a little, then soaked for a while, and finally felt that he had rubbed it clean and there were no coal particles in his hair. He stood up from the bathtub and planned to go back to his room.
"Hello sir, you are in the second room on the left side of the second floor. The steak you ordered will be delivered to your room in about two minutes." It was still the front desk, and it was obvious that this was "outsourced" the work he handed over to him to someone else.
Back in the room, I looked at my current appearance with the mirror in the room. I still looked like I was the same, but it was obvious that I was much younger. I was already twenty-six and my face was full of fatigue, but now I looked at it at most 18 years old, my face was covered with collagen, rosy and shiny.
"Sir, are you still here? I've brought you your food." The voice of a young woman outside, probably the one outsourced at the hotel front desk.
"Just put the food on the windowsill at the door, I'll get it later." Wang Xuance responded first, and then heard the sound of women outside putting something on the windowsill and leaving.
After a while, Wang Xuance opened the crack in the door. After confirming that there was no one, he quickly took away the plate and whiskey.
