Chapter 596: Chewing Tobacco and Horseshoes

Zhang Heng only took a day off before returning to the game point. Although the proxy war will not start until half a month later, he still has a basic dungeon to complete before that.

At the same time, at the same booth, Zhang Heng was lying on the sofa with the alarm clock on his chest.

[Time flow rate: 480] (1 hour in the real world is equal to 20 days in this game, and the player is forced to return to the real world after 40 days)

Friendly reminder, the game will officially start in five seconds, please get ready.

When Zhang Heng saw the name of the dungeon, he almost guessed where he was this time, and the background of the game later proved his guess. If he remembered correctly, the rule "10 dollars for 160 acres of land" came from " The Homestead Act, which was signed by the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, during the Civil War, pushed the already high westward movement to a climax again.

Countless American citizens eager for wealth have flocked to the vast land in the west, cultivated and worked there, and built their own homes with their own hands. Guys who lost their land and wealth in the war joined the pioneers, away from the prosperous and stable east coast and sound legal system, the west has also become a paradise for desperadoes.

The massacre and exile of Indians accompanying the westward movement intensified the contradictions and hatred between the natives of North America and the pioneers, and made the west dangerous.

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

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

The situation this time is similar to that during the Soviet-Finnish war. He was still wearing his own clothes, short-sleeved shorts, sneakers, mobile phone and keys in his pocket. [Plague Bone Bow] was too conspicuous and he didn’t bring it in this round of dungeons. , replaced by the [Crown of the White Horse] that also originated from the Plague Knight, and other game props were put in his backpack by him.

Zhang Heng roughly checked his character panel.

…………

In order to recast the [Ordinary Knife], Zhang Heng basically invested all the points accumulated before, leaving only 23 points for emergency.

In terms of possessions, there is not much change from the previous rounds, except for the replacement of [White Horse Crown] and [Plague Bone Bow], [Wall of Evil Thought] used up the last use in the previous battle with the three of Light Arc In addition, Zhang Heng also bought a necklace [Shadow Necklace] from the shadow suit, but he didn't bring it with him this time.

In terms of skills, Zhang Hengxin obtained two skills after the deduction dungeon, criminal investigation and make-up, both of which have reached the level of lv2. This is the highest level of skill he has cultivated so far, and it is probably the limit of human beings. In the latest updated evaluation below, the first sentence is the description of his sword technique.

In addition, Zhang Heng also noticed that his combat power has changed from excellent to powerful, and his final overall evaluation has also been upgraded from eye-catching to rare.

The above is his latest status.

Zhang Heng didn't spend too long examining it, although each round of dungeons would be extra long because of his special ability, but for now, the scorching sun above his head obviously wouldn't leave him too long to be dazed.

Zhang Heng knows that he needs to act as soon as possible. He has no idea about the main task of finding the lucky horseshoe. He knows that in some western legends, horseshoes are regarded as lucky objects like rabbit feet. However, this task is definitely not just a random search A horseshoe will do.

In addition, I don't have much impression of Zhang Heng in Lincoln County. Although he stayed in the United States for a period of time in the sixth round of the dungeon Apollo project training camp, at most he only learned about the states, and the specific counties below are not very famous. , He didn't have much impression, thinking that this Lincoln County should be a town that was established not long ago during the westward movement.

His guess was correct. Lincoln County, located in New Mexico, was originally just a small village inhabited by Mexicans. The village was renamed Lincoln in memory of Lincoln who was assassinated.

However, whether it is Lincoln County or the Lucky Horseshoe is something that needs to be considered later. The most urgent task now is to find a place where people live.

Zhang Heng first confirmed the direction with the shadow observation method. However, even if he distinguished the east, west, and north, it would be useless to know where to go next. Fortunately, since he was thrown here in the dungeon, it was impossible to have no hints. It was purely for him to gamble. .

Zhang Heng then climbed up a relatively high red rock nearby, and soon found his goal.

— a section of railway.

The first railway in the United States was built in about 1826, and it was only for the transportation of granite. The sum of the rest of the world is even more (later even had to dismantle half of the railways because of too many).

And where there are railways, it often means that there will be towns inhabited by humans along the way.

Zhang Heng climbed down from the rock wall again and walked towards the railway.

The new dungeon is open~ Let's enjoy the western style with Zhang Heng this time.
