America: John Wick 1924

Chapter 11 A Bountiful Harvest! The Priest and the Nun's "Sound and Sound" Talk Show!
Janel pretended to recall something, then shook her head:
"No, I've never seen him before. Is he a relative of yours?"

"No, quite the opposite. He's my enemy, and I'm going to settle the score with him. I plan to stay in San Francisco for a while until I find that bastard. I've traveled countless kilometers to get here."

A hint of unease flickered across Jane's brow:
"But... I don't plan to walk back to San Francisco. I'm going to Krega train station to catch the train."

What she meant was, "You can't see me off."

"That's quite a coincidence, I was also planning to take the train to San Francisco."

Are you taking the train too?

“I was poor and was planning to continue walking to San Francisco. But just now, I had the money for the train.”

While chatting with Jane, Li Yu moved quickly, soon touching the bald man and the others all over their bodies.

When Li Yu said he was very poor, he was not being modest—he really was poor.

During his time working at the café in "The Initial Town," although the boss never deducted his wages, the salary was indeed low. He could make ends meet, but not enough to save money.

After working hard for half a year, I only managed to save $12... This small amount of savings is disheartening.

Because he was short of money, he couldn't afford to take the train and had to walk to San Francisco.

Therefore, from another perspective, he should really thank the "Wolf Gang" – thanks to you guys, my wallet is finally bulging!
In terms of size, the "Wolf Gang" is a low-class, despicable group that lives on the line, engaging in lowly and unethical activities for meager income.

The money that large criminal organizations in New York and Chicago make from smuggling bootlegging is an astronomical sum that these lowlifes couldn't earn in their entire lives.

However, the "Wolf Gang's" wealth far exceeded Li Yu's expectations.

After a satisfying looting spree, he received a huge wad of green banknotes! A total of $398!

In the United States at that time, $398 was no small sum. The average hourly wage for a factory worker was only 50 cents, and a loaf of bread cost only 5 cents. You could buy a Ford Model T for just $290.

With this huge sum of money, Li Yu no longer needed to worry about money for a while.

Li Yu was never one to be content with poverty and hardship. While he didn't pursue wealth with fanaticism, he also wouldn't suffer hardship.

Now that we have money, we definitely have to spend it! We absolutely can't let ourselves suffer!
Clutching the wad of cash in his hand, he instantly made up his mind—as soon as it was light tomorrow, he would rush to the nearest train station, Kregas, and catch a train to San Francisco!

Goodbye! My journey to San Francisco on foot, like a vagabond!

Of course, the gains in terms of weapons are far more substantial than the financial rewards.

Li Yu accepted all the guns that the bald man and his gang had "left behind" without any hesitation!

他总计拿到1把温彻斯特M1894杠杆步枪、2把M1917美国制史密斯维森转轮手枪、4把M1911半自动手枪、3把匕首。

As for the three baseball bats, Li Yu didn't care at all and didn't even glance at them.

In terms of ammunition, a total of 46 rounds of lever-action rifle ammunition (.30 WCF) and 88 rounds of pistol ammunition (.45 ACP) were obtained.

Putting aside these material gains, his character experience points also yielded a considerable income.

The Paladin's experience bar increased significantly, reaching 21%; the Good Samaritan's experience bar also increased considerably, reaching 10%.

A bumper harvest! A truly bumper harvest!

Having traveled through time, he finally owns his own firearms!
No one ever thinks they have too many weapons, so Li Yu decided to stuff them all into his briefcase, which happened to have plenty of empty space.

Li Yu stuffed his pistol and dagger into his pockets and lower back, and slung the Winchester lever-action rifle over his shoulder.

After stuffing himself "to the brim," he turned to look at Jane:

“Sister, since we’re both going to San Francisco by train, shall we go to the train station together?” To be honest, he was just asking casually.

The nun was lucky tonight; she met Li Yu and was saved from danger.

But what about next time?
Can she still be that lucky?

Since we're all going the same way anyway, why not form a "travel buddy" group? It'll be easier to look after each other on the road, and we might even earn some "good Samaritan" experience points.

Of course, he didn't care whether the other party was willing to travel with him or not.

It was understandable that the other party refused, since they had only met by chance.

To Jane, Li Yuna was a stranger who had just introduced himself.

This stranger had just wiped out an entire gang with a long knife and a lever-action rifle, as if cutting melons and vegetables... From this perspective, Li Yu was simply a terrifying and dangerous person!

Most people would have refused Li Yu's invitation without hesitation and would have preferred to stay far away from him.

However... Jane did not refuse.

She blinked and stared intently at Li Yu.

The bright moonlight still shone on him... just as she had seen earlier.

For some reason, in that instant, it was as if a special force was driving her—when she came to her senses, she had already nodded slightly and moved to Li Yu's side under his surprised gaze.

Li Yu was taken aback.

To be honest, he never expected her to agree...

While Li Yu was still in a daze, Jane raised her amethyst-like, watery eyes, looked up at Li Yu like a doe, and said in a firm and joyful tone:
"Thank you for taking care of me!"

Although he didn't know why the other party was so willing to travel with him, a "combat priest," Li Yu quickly dismissed it—oh well, it didn't matter at all! They would part ways once they arrived in San Francisco anyway!

"Okay, let's go."

Li Yu smiled and turned to face west.

"My luggage is not far from here, I need to go and get it first."

……

……

The next day, at noon—

Kliga Train Station —

The sounds of train whistles, hissing jets, and clattering wheels... As soon as Li Yu stepped inside, the unique sounds of the train station rushed towards him like waves.

Looking up, he saw a dense crowd filling his field of vision.

With its spacious and clean waiting hall, complete facilities, and bustling crowds, the Kreiga train station certainly deserves the titles of "first-class" and "advanced" by today's standards.

Since leaving the "initial town", Li Yu has been wandering in the wilderness, and the people he comes into contact with every day are either dirty homeless people or vicious bandits.

Coming from a desolate and impoverished remote area to a bustling train station... looking at the lively scene before him, Li Yu felt a unique sense of returning to "human society".
