48 Hours a Day

Chapter 596 Chewing Smoke and Horseshoe

Zhang Heng returned to the game point after only a day's rest. Although the proxy war would not open for half a month, he still had a basic copy to complete before that.

At the same time, the same card holder, Zhang Heng, lay on the couch, placed the alarm clock on the chest.

[Player authentication in progress...]

[Verified, randomly extracting the eighth round of copies for player No. 07958...]

[Extraction complete - current copy is chewing cigarette and horseshoe iron]

“The vast and prosperous West is buried with countless riches. For only $10, you can get 160 acres of land here. No matter where you come from, whatever your past, you can start a brand new life here. However, wealth is accompanied by countless dangers. Remember, only the toughest and toughest people can survive on this land and be nurtured by it...”

[Mission Objective: Settle in Lincoln County and find Lucky Horseshoe]

[Mode: Single]

[Time Flow Rate: 480] (1 hour in the real world equals 20 days in the game, after 40 days the player is forced back to the real world)

A friendly reminder that the game will officially open in five seconds, please prepare the player.

Zhang Heng almost guessed where he was this time when he saw the copy name, and then the background to the game proved his assumption that, if he remembered correctly, the "$10 for 160 acres of land" provision stemmed from the Premises Act, which was signed by the 16th President of the United States during the Civil War, Alabhan Lincoln, and which once again culminated in a soaring western movement.

Numerous wealth-craving American citizens flocked to vast lands in the west, where they worked to reclaim and build their homes with their own hands, but at the same time, many villains, gamblers, murderers and those who had just lost their lands and wealth in the Civil War joined the ranks of the pioneers, far from a prosperous and stable East Coast and sound legal system, and the West became a paradise for the dead.

The massacre and exile of Indians accompanying the western movement exacerbated contradictions and hatred between Native Americans and pioneers in North America and left the West in jeopardy.

Zhang Heng opened his eyes and found himself standing in a gobble.

Looking up, there are red rock cliffs everywhere, and sparse shrubs and cactuses are probably the only colors in the Gobi.

This time it was similar to the time of the Suffin War when he was wearing his own clothes, shorts, sneakers, cell phones and keys in his pockets, [Plague Bone Bow] because he was too conspicuous to carry a copy of this round, replacing it with [Coronation of the White Horse], which also originated from the Plague Knight, while other game props were in his backpack.

Zhang Heng took a look at his character panel.

…………

In order to recast the [ordinary knife], Zhang Heng basically invested all the points previously accumulated, leaving only 23 points of emergency.

In addition to the replacement of [White Horse Coronation] and [Plague Bone Bow], [Wall of Malice] consumed the last number of uses in the previous battle with the Arc of Light, and Zhang Heng finally fell asleep. In addition, Zhang also obtained a necklace [Shadow Necklace] from the shadow set, but this time it was not carried on his body.

In terms of skills, Zhang Hengxin acquired two skills after the interpretation of a copy of the method, namely, forensics and makeup, both reached the level of LV2. (Art Appreciation LV0 will not be displayed) Also, his biggest change is of course the knife skill of LV4, which is currently the highest level of skill he has worked out, and most likely the limit of humanity. In the latest updated evaluation below, the first sentence is a description of his knife method.

In addition, Zhang Heng noticed that his fighting power had changed from excellent to strong, and that his final overall evaluation had escalated from remarkable to rare.

That's his latest status.

Zhang Heng did not take too long to examine, although the special abilities on his body would be extra long each round of copies, for the moment, it is clear that the sun above his head would not leave him with too much time to lose.

Zhang Heng knew that he needed to act quickly. He had no clue at the moment about finding lucky horseshoes for the main task. He knew that in some Western legends, horseshoes and rabbit feet were regarded as lucky goods, but the task certainly wasn't just to find a horseshoe.

Also, Zhang Heng of Lincoln County was not very impressed. Although he spent some time in the United States in the sixth round of the Apollo Plan training camp, at best he knew the states, and he didn't have much impression of the county below unless it was very famous. He thought that coming to this town of Lincoln County should be a town soon established in the western movement.

His guess was correct: Lincoln County, located in New Mexico, was a small village inhabited by Mexicans, renamed Lincoln in memory of the assassination.

But both Lincoln County and Lucky Horseshoe are things that need to be considered later, and today it's imperative to find a place where people smoke.

Zhang Hengxian confirmed the direction with the epitome observation method, however, even if he distinguished between the southeast and northwest and didn't know where to go next, it would be a good thing that since the copy left him here, there could be no hint, purely let him gamble his luck.

Zhang Heng then climbed a relatively high red rock nearby and quickly found his target.

- A railroad.

The first railway in the United States was built in 1826 to deliver granite, but with the boom of the western movement, in just a few decades the United States has owned more than 410,000 kilometres of railways, more than the rest of the world combined (and even later had to dismantle half because of too many railroads).

Wherever there are railways, this often means that along the way there will be towns inhabited by humans.

Zhang Heng climbed down from the rock wall again and walked in the direction of the railroad.
