Wild North America 1846

Chapter 20 Missions

One taught attentively, the other studied attentively, and Richard had an almost photographic memory. After repeating it several times, he was able to make the Five Tigers' Door-Severing Sword Technique more formal, and he also mastered the knack of using the force.

Liu Wu was greatly impressed by this, but he couldn't help but be shocked, and he began to doubt his talent in martial arts.

Think back to the beginning

After Liu Wu practiced Zhuang Kung Fu and other basic skills for three years, his master taught him the Five Tigers Cutting Sword Technique. It took him more than three months of hard work to master it.

How long did it take, Master?

It only took more than half an hour from start to finish. During this period, Liu Wu pointed out the moves, and Richard was able to understand them immediately, and he was already very good at performing them.

Seriously, there's nothing magical about this.

There are only 64 moves in total for the Five Tigers' Door-Breaking Sword Techniques. When Li Wu was learning from his master, he would learn one move a day and practice it repeatedly until he became proficient.

It takes less than three minutes to perform 64 moves consecutively. If the speed is faster, it will be completed in two minutes.

Liu Wu teaches these 64 moves together, and coupled with Richard's photographic memory and intelligence, it is not difficult to learn. What is difficult is how to make the sword more powerful?

The same sword technique has different powers in the hands of different people.

Richard's strength, agility, and stamina are all far superior to ordinary people. Once he mastered this sword technique, his power skyrocketed after he became proficient, and he was soon able to fight Liu Wu, who had a power output of 80%.

With this rapid improvement in strength, Liu Wu was stunned when he saw it. Not to mention the admiration in his heart, he was sincerely convinced and taught him more and more carefully.

two days later

Shanhaiguan was draped in red and green and held a grand inauguration ceremony, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and praying to God. The scene was really lively and noisy with gongs and drums.

The gate of Shanhaiguan is made of thick giant wood. The heavy wooden latch requires two people to lift. There are two upper and lower gates, which can connect the two gates into a whole.

Due to financial constraints, the original plan was to cover the outward side of the door with steel plates, insert steel corners inside, and reinforce it with steel bars. These steps could only wait until later.

The 4-meter-high village wall extends for more than 170 meters, spanning the valley mouth. One end is connected to the cliff, and the other end is more than ten meters deep into the Yudai River, protecting the huge Grape Valley.

The wall is made entirely of tightly arranged logs, with diagonal supports and a one-meter-wide wooden path inside. It looks strong and tall, and has very good defensive capabilities.

The musketeers of the Tang Association can patrol along the wooden path at the top of the wall. The tall wall can block wild beasts and bandits from wandering around. Just looking at it makes you feel at ease.

Shanhaiguan was built, and the Datang Society won unanimous praise from the Chinese, and its prestige increased unprecedentedly.

Three days before and after

The camp on the top of the hill has also begun to take shape. A wooden wall about 2.5 meters high has been built around the camp. The "gate" shaped house is under construction. The long stable can accommodate more than 40 horses.

In addition, several sturdy warehouses were built.

It is estimated that it will be completed within a week.

At the inauguration ceremony of Shanhaiguan

When everyone was excited, Richard announced in public that everyone would be exempted from the five-dollar fee for this month and would start paying it in April, which once again caused a round of cheers.

If you can pay less monthly payment, that's what you earn. Who can be unhappy?

at the same time

Richard announced that Datang would use its credit guarantee to store gold sand and other property for Chinese gold diggers for a fee, and issue certificates, charging only an annual storage fee of 6%.

This move provides a good way to store wealth for Chinese gold diggers who have nowhere to hide their belongings.

Of course, this is a paid service that requires a fee.

After the celebration

An endless stream of Chinese workers embarked on the gold mining road to the Washington River. They were full of hope that as long as they found the gold sand and brought it back, they would have peace of mind and no longer have to worry about being bullied and robbed by white cowboys.

When it comes to working diligently, who else do Chinese workers fear?

early spring march

The climate in San Francisco is very cold in spring, and there is plenty of sunshine at noon, but it is still quite cold in the morning and night, with the temperature below 0 degrees, making the land frozen solid.

In such a cold climate, panning for gold by the river is quite painful. Your hands are soaked in the cold river water all day long, sifting pans back and forth, and it won't take long for them to become numb from the cold.

It's only slightly better at noon. If you seize this period of sunshine, you can find some gold sand.

It is always after April every year that the weather warms up significantly. White, Chinese and Mexican gold prospectors flock to the American rivers one after another to enter the peak gold mining season.

at the same time

All kinds of fierce conflicts arising from the competition for territory and gold sand have also increased sharply. The corpses floating in the American rivers from time to time fully illustrate the cruel law of the jungle in the gold mining areas.

grape valley

Most of the Chinese workers have dispersed, leaving only the more than 260 people who were building the camp. They are still under construction in full swing. There are a large number of logs and various wooden boards piled up along the Shanhaiguan Pass.

It is naturally air-dried here.

Not far away, by the red oak forest, French military instructor Mike Rabiot was leading soldiers in training. The bursts of gunfire sounded much denser than before.

On the flat ground between two log piles

A ball of bright sword light rolled and rose, and the figure in the sword light was like a swimming dragon, suddenly moving to the left and sometimes to the right. The splashing sword light was like a violent storm, disturbing the air and making a subtle scream...

after a long time

The sword light dissipated, and Richard's chest heaved violently before he slowly put the sword away. A thin layer of sweat appeared on Bai Zhi's forehead, and his face looked particularly rosy after exercise.

He let out a long breath, walked to the pile of wood on the side, picked up the kettle and drank a few sips. Then he wiped the water running down his chin and felt the heat, soreness and swelling all over his body after a lot of exercise.

Now that a week has passed, his Five Tigers Cutting Sword Technique has become somewhat successful, and his strength has been greatly improved visible to the naked eye.

He can roughly compete with Liu Wu who is doing his best. Although he is slightly at a disadvantage, the difference is not big.

Picking up a towel and wiping the sweat from his face, Richard sat down on the pile of logs. While taking a short rest, he brought up the system interface, and the look on his face quickly became exciting.

After adding points, Richard's personal attribute panel data is: physical strength 2.5, intelligence 2.3, bloodline 2.1, strength 2.4, agility 2.7, and reproductive ability 1.9.

Free attribute points; none, talent, none, mutation ability, none, animal transformation ability, none, bloodline ability, none, potential points, none.

After adding the last free attribute point to strength, Richard's physical fitness has been comprehensively improved, and his overall strength has increased significantly. There are no obvious shortcomings in physical strength, agility, strength, and intelligence.

If there is a simple analogy, it is basically equivalent to a new player picked in the second round of the NBA draft. All physical qualities are superb and far beyond ordinary people.

In this world, there are indeed people with extraordinary talents.

The kind of NBA basketball rookie players who are one in a million, all have extraordinary physical talent, which is what they rely on to dominate the field.

Among NBA first-round picks, there are some who can be called "physical monsters", especially black athletes who are good at sports, which is really amazing.

The wishful thinking in Richard's mind was cheating to gain an asymmetric advantage. Wouldn't it be stupid not to hug such a thick thigh?

Didn’t Lin Zhanyuan practice boy kung fu since he was a child and have acquired the true inheritance of Southern Shaolin?

It doesn't matter, I'll cheat.

Isn't Lin Zhanyuan known as "the three masters of boxing, kicking and swordsmanship, with few rivals in Guangdong and Guangdong"?

It doesn't matter, I'll cheat.

There are three ongoing reputation tasks in Richard's system panel, namely;

Well-known reputation task; 9989/10000, not completed.

Force mission; 1477/1000 has been completed.

Reputation title mission "Protector of Chinese Gold Diggers in San Francisco"; 2547/2955 Not completed.

After Richard accepted the duel invitation from Lin Zhanyuan, the young leader of the Agreement Hall, he deliberately sent people to spread the news. This further increased his popularity. Not only did the vast majority of Chinese immigrants know about it, but also many local whites and Mexicans.

Got it too.

Now, there is only a thin line between us and the final completion of the "Mission of Reputation Known to All".

Richard is very much looking forward to the rich rewards the system will bring him after completing this task.

Force mission; 1477/1000 has been completed.

This refers to the number of people that the Tang Association can command and mobilize. Richard mobilized Chinese laborers to build Shanhaiguan regardless of pay. This action was defaulted by the system to the Chinese laborers living in the Grape Valley, who were affiliated with the forces of the Tang Association.

Previously, he had completed three power level missions of 10 people, 100 people, and 1,000 people.

The reward is; the reputation store is officially opened.

Currently, the reputation store has three categories: tickets, blueprints and cold weapons.

Richard studied carefully and found that all the products in the prestige store were good things, which were of great benefit to establishing and expanding his power, but they did not obviously help his personal strength.

For example, tickets;

In today's prestige stores, you can choose to redeem customized tickets, which can be "Datang Society Gold Equivalent Vouchers" or "XXX Bank Vouchers", which are equivalent to currency.

The US dollars, pounds, francs, marks, pesos and custom currencies in the ticket system are all gray and have not been opened.

That is to say;

The exchange of this elementary custom ticket does not require a printing house to have strong anti-counterfeiting properties, similar to the US dollar notes issued by various state banks and insurance companies popular in St. Francis, and has a currency function.

As long as the Datang Society's reputation is loud enough, the bills it issues are widely known, and they have enough strength to guarantee it, then this kind of custom bills can be used as currency.

In the San Francisco market, gold sand, gold bullion, pounds sterling, francs, marks, Spanish silver coins, and dollar bills issued by banks and insurance companies in various states in the United States can all be used as currency.

If Datang establishes a bank in the future, this exchange function will become a weapon for expansion, because the custom tickets produced by the system cannot be copied. As long as there is sufficient strength to endorse it, the future is worth looking forward to.

But this thing is a bit far away and is of no use for the time being.

For example, in the category of drawings, the production drawings are currently open. You can now exchange and use the "waterwheel-type gold trough" drawings, "waterwheel-type mill" drawings, "waterwheel-type rice pounding mill" drawings, and "waterwheel-type forging hammers"

"The drawings, etc., are basically primary drawings that are in line with the productivity level of today's era.

Find some carpenters to follow the drawings and you can almost build it.

To tell the truth

This is to establish the industrial foundation of a comprehensive and powerful force. There are further drawings that will not be opened in the future. Richard is not in a hurry to get started, but will wait and see.

Cold weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks are all available, and even French cuirassier equipment can be customized at a certain price.

This thing, Richard thinks, may be useful if he wants to arm a capable cuirassier team in the future. But it is not urgently needed at the moment.

Since it is a reputation store, there must be a price to pay for the exchange. After completing the three power level tasks of 10 people, 100 people, and 1000 people, Richard had 1110 more reputation points in his account.

In other words, every time his power expands by one more person, he can gain one more reputation point.

Prestige points can be exchanged for items in the prestige store, or gold can be exchanged for reputation points. The price is 1 ounce of gold for 1 point.

The standard Tang Dao currently used by Richard was redeemed from the prestige store and requires a prestige point.

If calculated using the gold price ratio, 1 ounce of gold is worth approximately US$20.

The price was too high. After using it, Richard felt that this knife was very sharp and the steel mouth was very good. He didn't know what kind of alloy it was made of. It was almost not damaged when he hit an ordinary steel knife. It was a precious knife.

But at this price, you can buy 15 steel knives for your own use. It is not cost-effective to equip ordinary soldiers, so I can only think about it.

From the above experiences, some characteristics can be summarized;

After completing each level of prestige tasks, the rewards obtained can greatly enhance one's own strength, whether it is strength, physical strength, intelligence, agility, or bloodline, which are of great benefit.

After completing each level of power tasks, the rewards obtained are used to enhance the overall power, and the personal benefits are not obvious, focusing on long-term development.

The third prestige title mission "Protector of Chinese Gold Diggers in San Francisco" has not been completed yet.

Progress display; 2547/2955 Chinese have not completed

According to Richard’s private guess;

There should be 2,955 Chinese in the entire San Francisco, including all men and women. The mission must be completed only if everyone knows about it.

His reputation has spread very loudly in the Chinese community, and few people don't know about it.

If there is

It can only be the women in the prostitution villages controlled by the Accord Hall or the Chinese gold diggers in remote areas of the river. Let’s not talk about the Chinese gold diggers for the moment, let’s talk about these “pig flowers” ​​groups that are trafficked to North America.

They are naturally not interested in fighting and killing, and they are trapped in a prostitute village with relatively little information.

Dealing with the comings and goings of guests every day, you are already living a miserable life, how can you still have the leisure to care about others?

Whether the guess is accurate remains to be verified by time.

Now, what Richard is most concerned about is the "Ten Thousand People's Reputation Mission", which is almost completed...
