Wild North America 1846

Richard made a lot of noise, which attracted the attention of everyone in the Maple Leaf Palace and the nearby security guards. They couldn't help but whisper to each other in private, guessing what happened?

"What are you doing? Have you eaten enough and have nothing to do? You are starting to talk nonsense. All of you, please remember that anything you hear or see in the Maple Leaf Palace is not allowed to be spread. If it violates the palace rules and commandments,

"How many heads do you have?" Captain Liu Wu shouted loudly.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, and both the maids and the soldiers all shrank their necks in fear, became silent, and no longer dared to talk nonsense.

The palace is like no other place, it has very strict rules.

In order to show off to the maid, a guard soldier once revealed how powerful and awesome Richard was when he was practicing martial arts...

As a result, when Captain Liu Wu found out, he immediately killed both the guard soldier and the maid with sticks, and then held the thorn on his back to plead guilty and ask His Majesty to punish them.

The reason is that the restraints are not strict, causing outsiders to peek into the palace, which is a death penalty!

After hearing this, Li Cha frowned and said;

"For this first offence, I will let it go and be fined three months' salary. If it happens again, I will present the dog's head myself."

Since then

The Guards soldiers no longer dare to flirt with the palace maids, let alone spread gossip. The palace maids also dare not contact the soldiers, let alone say a word. This is a capital crime according to the palace commandments.

Once discovered, they will be killed immediately.

Although the Tang Kingdom was more enlightened, more just, and more tolerant than the feudal kingdoms of the same era in some aspects, it still had many of the dross of the feudal kingdoms.

All subtle changes do not happen overnight.

Li Wu stood far away by the maple forest in the palace yard, looking at a window on the third floor of the main building with a worried look in his eyes.

King Richard was howling, screaming and laughing in the room, which felt quite strange. As a close confidant, how could Li Wu not be worried?

He didn't think too much, he was just afraid that His Majesty would take opium cream, which would cause people to go crazy and lose control after eating it. This was very common in San Francisco.

There are many poppy plants in the Bay Area. Ordinary people boil water with it to drink to relieve pain or diarrhea. It can also relieve mental stress and fatigue.

Among the foods commonly used by American riverside gold diggers, in addition to hard bread, was the famous poppy seed potato bread, also known as sourdough bread.

California gold diggers invented dough starter because artificial yeast was difficult to obtain, especially in remote gold mining sites, so the gold diggers attached the starter to their bodies and used their body temperature to maintain its vitality and temperature.

When making bread, take some of it and ferment it in flour, then bake it on the fire.

think about it

Every day, the gold diggers are covered in stinky sweat and do not take a shower for a long time. The fermentation agent sticks to the body and has a sour smell. In order to increase the chewiness and mellow taste, the gold diggers also add poppy seeds.

Thus, poppy seed potato bread was born and became one of the most famous specialty foods in the region.

In the dormitory

With 4 silver attribute points in hand, Richard took into account the diversity of comprehensive abilities and spent one silver attribute each to light up his passive talent ability;

Psychic vision, self-healing, elementary 1/3.

Considering that the power of his spiritual sense once saved his life, and being able to sense potential threats was the most helpful at the moment, he simply invested all the remaining two silver attribute points into it to upgrade his spiritual sense to the intermediate level.

on the system interface

Spiritual Sense; 3/3, primary level is full, upgrading...

Richard felt two slight cracking sounds in his head. Maybe it was an hallucination, but it didn't look like it.

Focusing on the system interface again, it has become;

Dark spiritual awareness; 0/3, intermediate level

Note: This is a strange sixth sense ability that can read other people's emotions, see through lies and deceit, and point directly to the heart. The evil thoughts hidden by others can't escape you.

Somewhat spiritual awareness?

Richard recited these four words repeatedly with joy, feeling as if he had gained something.

It is indeed a powerful mysterious ability. If it is upgraded to the final level, will this enhanced sixth sense evolve into a premonition? Or will it evolve into the gypsy tarot card divination or "mind reading"?

Thinking about it, I’m really looking forward to it!

As a superior, the most difficult thing to understand since ancient times is the human heart. Among the ministers who bow and respect at their feet, who is loyal or traitorous?

Even the Chinese cannot guarantee that they all have their hearts set on the kingdom. Those careerists and usurpers will not show it on their faces, let alone rebels.

Richard doesn't have to worry about this, so how much trouble will he save?

In the past, Richard's primary spiritual sense could only vaguely sense people's kindness or malice, but his emotions seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of mist, and he couldn't see clearly and didn't know what was going on.

Now we have taken a step further and directly pointed to our true heart, which has undoubtedly made a qualitative leap.

This time, he squandered all the accumulation he had gained in the past stage and used it to enhance his own strength. He did not leave anything behind.

Compared to his own strength, there are very few things that can threaten Richard's safety now, so there is no need to worry too much.

The prestige store opens up more permissions. You can exchange for hemostatic bandages, antidotes, healing medicines and other items. You can also exchange for cold weapons and equipment or industrial equipment blueprints that conform to the characteristics of the times. The options are greatly increased, plus you have 10,000 in hand.

The reputation points also gave him ample confidence.

The 320 pairs of French breastplates that Richard equipped with the San Francisco Legion came from the Reputation Shop. This made him squander all his early reputation points, and he regrets it now when he thinks about it.

From now on, this kind of military equipment must not be exchanged from the reputation store. If you really have too many reputation points to use it, spending money to buy it is the right way to go.

Keep these reputation points in your hands and use them where you really need them.

You have food in your hands, don’t panic in your heart!

Richard browsed in the prestige store for a long time, and finally only exchanged for a set of level three flexible defensive inner armor. It felt similar to thickened underwear, but it could protect against knife, axe, and bullet penetration. It was undoubtedly an extremely high-end technological product.

The exchange price is equally impressive, a complete set requires 600 reputation points.

Compared to the French Breastplate, which only requires 3 reputation points, the exchange price is 200 times more expensive, which is shockingly expensive.

The flexible defensive inner armor is a medium-level item. It feels soft to the touch and is quite comfortable to wear. It will harden instantly when hit by external forces. It has strong defensive power and is indeed a good treasure.

Richard also figured it out. The more advanced the system store is and the more products it surpasses the current world technology, the higher the exchange value will be.

Looking at the 9,400 reputation points saved in the system interface, I really feel that I can't exchange them for much. In the future, reputation tasks will become more and more difficult, and the time required to complete them will also become longer and longer, so I have to consider living on a budget.

The sudden increase in strength made Richard eager to try and get familiar with the extra strength, so he put on tight-fitting bunt clothes and walked downstairs with a long knife in hand.

"Your Majesty, what are you..."

"I want to stretch my legs and lead people to patrol around the maple forest. If there is no urgent military intelligence report from the front, no one is allowed to disturb us."

"In this humble position, I will obey the king's orders." Major Liu Wu replied with a fist fight.

"Um."

Xiaocha responded and walked straight into the depths of the North American maple forest with a long knife. Li Wu quickly waved and asked the guards to surround the forest and guard from a distance, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching.

As soon as the arrangements were completed here, a series of crisp popping sounds like the whipping of a long whip came from deep in the woods. At first, they were still clearly audible, but later they became continuous and formed into a sharp low whistling sound...

Hearing such a loud movement, Liu Wu was dumbfounded. He looked deep into the woods with a horrified expression, only to see yellow smoke and dust rising, and the sharp whistle became louder and louder, causing a slight tremor under his feet.

Could this be the fiercely disturbed sword energy?

Li Wu forced himself to calm down the shock in his patience, feeling that after today's shift, he must summon all members of the Guards to reiterate the confidentiality issue and give these guys a hard beating.

As a personal guard of the royal family, everything that Jufan sees or hears is strictly prohibited from being spread to outsiders, let alone talking to each other. You should keep your mouth shut tightly and keep it in your heart, otherwise you will be killed without mercy.

The Royal Guard is actually a training camp for the entire army. Young soldiers who are hard-working and simple-minded are selected to enter. After daily guarding, they are taught how to read, receive systematic military training, and enjoy far higher treatment than ordinary troops.

When expanding the army, outstanding individuals were often selected from the Guards to serve as junior officers in the army to strengthen the king's control over the army.

After serving for a period of time, outstanding junior officers in the army are selected to serve in the Guards on a rotating basis and receive a higher level of military training, and so on.

Therefore, the proportion of officers in the Guards is very high, almost half, and the rest are selected outstanding soldiers.

There was an explosion of "click..."

Liu Wu was just thinking in his mind when he suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from deep in the forest, followed by a series of "ka ka ka" explosions, making the noise even louder.

Even the maid passing in the direction of the main house was startled. She couldn't help but turn her head and glance this way, then quickly lowered her head and hurried away with a tray in hand.

Liu Wu's face suddenly fell. The king was making too much noise. It seemed that he was going to unite with the general manager of the palace to issue a hush order to everyone in the Maple Leaf Palace. Violators would be severely punished.

Sigh... people are on tenterhooks on this day.

after a long time

Just now I saw Richard walking out of the depths of the woods, all wet and holding a knife. Although his face was covered with sweat, it was obvious that he was in a very happy mood, and there was always a smile on his lips.

"His Majesty……"

"Oh, Lao Wu, I accidentally used too much force during my martial arts performance just now. Well... the damage to the vegetation in the forest was a bit heavy. Please arrange for a few people with good mouths to clean up the damage."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Richard waved his hand and strode towards the main house.

Looking at His Majesty's leaving figure, Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, then waved over an officer and said, "Continue to be vigilant. I'll take a look first."

Go deep into the woods

His eyes were suddenly enlightened, and he looked at the mess that was like a storm raging. Liu Wu opened his mouth and couldn't close his mouth in surprise. The shocking feeling from the heart came over again.

Several waist-thick North American maple trees have been turned into large and small sawdust or wood residues, the largest of which is no larger than a palm. Mixed with soil, a circular floor mat of about 200 square meters has been spread.

Only a few bare tree stumps can prove that these big trees have suffered ruthless damage and become a mess.
