Chapter 603 Bounty and Drunken Sheriff
The small conflict that had just occurred in the county was quickly quelled with the arrival of the Sheriff.
However, many people still ran out of the house after hearing the gunshots to watch the excitement and witnessed everything that happened after that.
Zhang Heng's initial goal has been achieved. After that, no one will dare to make trouble when he walks on the street. However, on the other hand, he has also successfully entered the list of undesirable persons in Lincoln County.
The way the Sheriff stared at him said it all.
In fact, the attitude of the people in the town towards him did not change fundamentally, they just became more vigilant. Wherever he and Luobo passed by, women pulled their children into the house one after another, while the men stopped. , showing tension and hostility.
Zhang Heng found a bar and bought some forage and beans for the radish to reward it for its hard work over the past few days. He himself ordered a glass of dark beer recommended by the bailiff, plus the staple steak and fried eggs. , while eating, thinking about his situation and next move.
He has found Lincoln County, but the environment here is a little more severe than he imagined.
His unpopularity here is probably second only to Indians, and even before villains and gangsters.
Zhang Heng couldn't even be sure whether the chef had spit in the steak when he was cooking it. However, he spent 3 US dollars of the 49 US dollars he collected from Richie's group and now has 46 US dollars left. If Staying in a hotel and eating would cost him almost $1 a day. In other words, the money would only last him a month and a half.
This is still when he is doing everything, so as usual, this copy still requires him to find a way to make money.
In this way, Zhang Heng actually missed the forty kilograms of gold.
In addition, he didn't know what kind of standard was implicit in the so-called settlement in the main mission. Does it mean having a fixed residence here, or living here for a certain period of time? Or you can live forever. The first two are easier to handle. If you want to live forever, you have to buy a property.
But there was no point in thinking about things that far away now. After Zhang Heng finished his lunch, he decided to go to the police station in the town.
There are actually a lot of jobs he can do, but considering his current friendliness in the town, there are not many options left for him.
Among them, the job that brings in the fastest money and does not require the cooperation of other people is the reward.
The police's poor manpower reserve is difficult to cope with the vast and complex environment in the west. Many towns have only one or two law enforcement officers. Sometimes they even have to face enemies several times their number. They have to maintain local security and work part-time as judges. When a case is being heard, it is almost difficult to get out of town.
Even if we add in the manpower gap of judicial police, there is still a huge gap.
This is also the reason why public security in the west is so poor. Once someone commits a crime in one place, as long as they hide their name and find a random place, it will be difficult for the police to keep chasing them.
So the profession of bounty hunter was born.
The police offer rewards of varying prices based on the danger level of different criminals and the size of the crime, and bounty hunters hunt down the fugitives on their behalf.
This is a profession that only brave men and adventurers dare to engage in. Zhang Heng has never doubted his combat effectiveness. However, when he came outside the police station and looked at the reward lists in front of the door, he realized that he still thought about it. It's a bit simpler.
Those fugitives with relatively low reward amounts were eliminated by Zhang Heng at the first opportunity, because although the danger of chasing these people was relatively small, the benefits obtained were not proportional to the effort, especially for a novice like Zhang Heng. , he very much doubted that the money he earned during this trip was not as much as he spent on the road.
Many of the guys with relatively large amounts of money are not acting alone, which Zhang Heng doesn't particularly care about, but they are more maneuverable and their whereabouts are secretive. Zhang Heng is a sailing lv3, a car driving lv2, and even a spaceship. The man who drove it, this instance did have some trouble with transportation.
Although he and Luobo had a tacit understanding and got along well with each other on the way here, Zhang Heng knew very well that whether it was his riding skills or the four-dimensional attributes of Luobo, a blank slate trumpet, they were still far from the average level of this era. The gap is not small, let alone those powerful guys.
Moreover, Zhang Heng's marksmanship is that the carrot cannot move, or it can exert its full power when dismounted. Once the carrot starts running, his accuracy will drop a lot.
To sum up, the reward money seems very attractive, but it is not easy to make money for Zhang Heng, and he has a disadvantage, that is, he is not familiar with the surrounding towns, and he is likely to make a lot of mistakes. Of course, his Reasoning analysis ability and combat effectiveness are also things that many people do not have.
Zhang Heng thinks this can be done, but it requires some thought in selecting targets.
Just as he was standing outside the door looking at the reward, the alcoholic Sheriff who had just dealt with him not long ago also saw him and walked out of the house with a bulging belly, "Boy, let's talk about it first, in Lincoln." You'd better be more honest when you're in the county. I've seen many young people like you who think they're arrogant after learning some marksmanship. Do you know what happened to them?"
"I would like to hear the details." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Back then, I could shoot down five people with one gun." The Sheriff made a handsome firing gesture while exhaling the smell of alcohol from his nostrils. However, the next moment his foot slipped and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was someone beside me to help me, and the person urged me, "Chief, it's time, everyone is waiting for you."
"Do I have to go, Jameson?" The Sheriff was basking in the glory of the past, muttering dissatisfiedly when someone interrupted him.
"I'm afraid that's the case. In Lincoln County, you are the embodiment of the law and the nemesis of criminals. I'm pretty sure that this kind of situation requires your presence to intimidate the child. Moreover, the final verdict also needs you to read aloud." Speaking of the time to intimidate the child. The visitor glanced at Zhang Heng intentionally or unintentionally.
"Well, we must let those lawless guys know the power of the law." The drunken sergeant nodded, but he did not leave with Jameson, but turned around and returned to the police station.
"Uh...are you going in the wrong direction, Sheriff?"
"Damn it, am I such a loser in your eyes, Jameson, I'm just going to get the bottle of wine I didn't finish." The Sheriff replied cursingly, and he walked back to his table in a dazed way. He walked forward, picked up the wine bottle on top, picked up his hat, and then walked out slowly.
At this time, Zhang Heng also noticed the crowd gathering in the square not far away, as well as the tall wooden platform in the center.
