Chapter Option worth dollars!
Shanyin Town.
Located on the banks of the Sweet Water River in the southern part of the Rocky Mountains.
The terrain here is flat and lush vegetation. There are hills to the north and plains to the south. The gurgling sweet water river is surrounded by the gurgling sweet water river, and the water plants are extremely abundant.
Definitely one of the cowboys’ favorite grazing grounds.
About ten years ago, many Chinese immigrants were summoned by the US government and sent as miners to dig silver mines near the Rocky Mountains, while another Chinese worker was responsible for repairing the railway.
It was these hard-working miners and railway workers who built and developed Shanyin Town, and the town was also named because of its silver mine production.
Nowadays, more than half of the residents in the town are descendants of Chinese, and Arthur himself is the mixed-race descendant of these immigrants.
Originally, there was no danger around Shanyin Town except for the appearance of beasts. Even Indians would not come here to make trouble here. It can be regarded as a quiet and peaceful western town.
However, the stalemate of the Civil War has caused the order of the United States to collapse in all continents. Many states are in a state of autonomy. The governor is equivalent to a young president, and he even does not listen to the orders of the US president and controls the side.
The big cities in the eastern region are protected by troops, and the public security is relatively better, but the order in the western region has long been corrupted, and is full of warlords and gangs who want to make a fortune. The chaotic army is scattered and bandits are rampant.
This chaos has affected many western towns, and Shanyin Town, located in the remote west, is no exception.
Sean clearly remembered that when he first came to Shanyin Town, the Shanyin Town Police Station was recruiting police officers.
Reminding the Western Mounted Police who incarnate justice in Western movies, he became a reserve policeman with the recommendation of Arthur.
There are only three conditions to become a police officer.
One, will shoot.
2. Obey orders.
Third, do not commit crimes.
Even if you are illiterate and have muscles in your head, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can shoot, you will basically be selected.
Without any surprises, Sean joined the reserve police force.
He also joined more than a dozen unemployed cowboys and immigrants. Most of them came to Shanyin Town, without a formal job, and wanted to become police officers, get a generous salary of 60 cents a day and additional subsidies.
To become a police officer, you only need to pass one assessment, that is, shooting skills.
After all, this is the wild west, with poor security conditions. Whether it is cowboys or wanted criminals, they like to make a fuss when they say something wrong. People who don’t know how to shoot are equivalent to walking targets in the west.
Under the supervision of the deputy sheriff, the rookies began to practice marksmanship, each with twelve free bullets per day, and the training time lasted for one week.
Whoever can shoot six shots into a target twenty meters away within a week will pass the assessment, become a formal police officer, get a police badge and get a high salary.
In addition to being more troublesome to use bullets to withdraw bullets, the Colt series of revolvers must be pulled out when firing, which is more complicated than the revolver. However, as long as the gunner can be proficient in basic operations, the speed of changing bullets will not be slow.
I don’t know if it’s because of its talent or the system’s blessing, Sean’s shooting skills have improved rapidly. After learning to operate a revolver with the deputy sheriff that morning, he can ensure that all six guns are on the target in the afternoon.
Just as I was about to report that I had completed the shooting assessment myself, the option appeared again.
[1. Report directly to the sheriff to complete the assessment. Reward: Sheriff Colt revolver. Worth US$50]
[2. Wait until someone reports to complete the assessment, then report to the sheriff to complete the assessment. Reward: Ordinary brass police badge. Valued at US$20]
【3, there will be troubles in gambling, keep waiting. Reward: Random skill points】
Someone doesn’t want to see themselves successfully assessed in advance?
This is really strange. It is obviously a police officer recruiting exam, but some people don’t want to see police officers with outstanding results.
Who is it?
After thinking about it, Sean did not act rashly.
[Reward: Quick reload +1]
Sean then turned on the paddling mode and fired his gun from time to time.
He was ridiculed by several people and even scolded by the deputy sheriff several times.
Two days later, a young man named Hatch successfully passed the assessment.
This made Sheriff Gordon quite happy. In front of everyone, in addition to rewarding a silver police badge, he also rewarded the latest Colt revolver, which aroused many people's envy and admiration.
I haven't touched the gun much, but I can hit the target in two days. This is probably what is called talent.
In the following days, several people passed the marksmanship assessment one after another, and obtained police badges and revolver guns, and began to patrol the streets with the sheriff showing off his might.
A week passed, and only three of them were left without passing the assessment, including Sean.
Just as Sean was bored and waiting, an emergency occurred outside the town.
Sheriff Gordon was so anxious that he was struggling with all the gatherings, and he approved these people who failed the assessment to become police officers, and everyone received a gun.
"Everyone, you have found traces of the Wild Dog Gang camp outside the town. They are likely to attack Shanyin Town... I need you to go out together to intercept these bandits and drive them out of the Shanyin Town area. Do you understand?"
Sheriff Gordon held up a lever rifle and looked at a group of recruits seriously: "There will be a gunfight soon, and someone may die because of it. It will be too late for anyone to regret it now."
Everyone disagreed, no one stepped forward, but there was an option in front of Sean.
【1, follow the sheriff to intercept the Wild Dog Gang. Reward: Ancient gold coins. Valued at US$100]
[2. Said that he was very scared and his marksmanship was not accurate enough, so he left the team tactfully. Reward: Winches 1865. Valued at US$70]
[3. The gangsters of the Wild Dogs are very dangerous and they will leave. Reward: Random attribute points]
Looking at the first option, worth up to $100, Sean's eyelids jumped up.
"Sorry, I'm not going to do it."
He simply threw away the revolver, the bullet belt, turned around and left, just thinking about being far away from danger.
[Reward: Physical Conscience +1]
"Haha, this kid is a coward."
"Yes, he has been lazy these days, and I'm afraid he won't even shoot."
"I saw him as suitable as a young man."
"I bet he can't even do cowboys."
A burst of rude talk and laughter came from the crowd.
Obviously, the tough guys in the west don’t like this little white face with black hair and dark eyes.
In response, Sean just shrugged his shoulders and wanted to observe three seconds of silence for these people.
The Wild Dog Gang is one of the criminal gangs in the west. It has been relatively high-profile recently. It has done all kinds of evil deeds in burning, killing, looting, and several towns near Shanyin Town have been harassed by the Wild Dog Gang.
It is estimated that Chief Gordon recruited so many police officers just to deal with the Wild Dog Gang.
Who would have thought that the reward value of following the sheriff out to intercept the Wild Dog Gang would be as high as 100 US dollars!
This is the first time Sean has seen such a high amount.
Even in the vampire's lair, he has never encountered an option of 100 US dollars.
The danger level of the Wild Dog Gang can be imagined.
Sean wanted to remind everyone, but seeing the heroic recruits full of enthusiasm, he finally chose to watch the heroes leave.
For this reason, I couldn't help but recite a poem: "The wind whistles and the Yishui is cold, and the hero will never return once he leaves..."
