"Go ahead and sue me, go ahead and sue me!"

The hot pot restaurant owner also got angry, grabbing a slotted spoon and chasing after them: "Damn it, get out of my shop, or I'll smash your head in!"

The short-haired, lean young man, clearly understanding the wisdom of not fighting a losing battle, quickly took a few steps and rushed out of the store, not forgetting to retort, "You wait!"

[Ding! This person has been detected to have a connection to the small, border state of California, and may have a chance of becoming the (California Sheriff) in the future, triggering the quest "Buying an Official Position".]

[Task: Buy and sell official positions]

[Task Requirements: Purchase a chance (or even a minor one) of this person's future fortune with money.]

This task is special and cannot be forced. Therefore, there are operational requirements: Take a $100 bill and pretend to walk ahead of him and drop it.

If he picks it up and returns it, the transaction is void.

If he takes it and doesn't return it, it's considered an agreement to the transaction, and he can obtain a glimpse of his future (California pastor's) fortune.

[Task Rewards: In addition to receiving good fortune, you can choose one of the following rewards.]

I. Evidence of the Six Arts of a Gentleman: Charioteering

II. Evidence of Archery, one of the Six Arts of a Gentleman

[Task failed: No reward]

Ok……

Um? ! !

Is this a mission?

Hehe, we're on a mission!

Chen Ping'an was not surprised when the system suddenly popped up a task; he had been mentally prepared for it.

The system is here, so the tasks must be the same!

Isn't that how it's always written in novels?

Therefore, he wasn't too surprised or astonished by the appearance of the mission!

However, his lack of surprise at the mission did not mean that he was calm at the moment.

California shepherd!

California Shepherd, that's what the system says!

Chen Ping'an wasn't surprised by this, after all, his system was called the Taiping Essentials, and the system referred to the United States as a small border country under the control of the Han Dynasty.

This is California, and the lean, short-haired young man who just walked out of this store arguing with the owner is the future California sheriff.

If we translate that into modern language, this guy could very well become the governor of California in the future!

isn't it?

Although I don't know much about American law, I've heard that those who can run for governor must be born in the United States, right?

It was obvious that the young man was an undocumented worker, which is why the restaurant owner dared to arbitrarily withhold his wages and kick him out.

You're telling me that an undocumented worker can one day become the governor of California?

How is this any different from a fairy tale?

However, whether it's Arabian Nights or One Thousand and One Nights, it has little to do with Chen Ping'an.

What he needs to do now is to complete the mission.

Let's make a deal with the future California sheriff.

So he said to Lin Zhiyong:

There's a convenience store over there; I'm going to buy something.

"Order first, and get the pot on the stove. I'll be right back!"

Without waiting for Lin Zhiyong's reply, he rushed out.

Lin Zhiyong tried to call out to him from behind, to warn him that 99.9% of these Asians working illegally in America do not deserve any sympathy.

He thought Chen Ping'an's rush out to buy things was just an excuse; he actually wanted to help the skinny, short-haired young man who had just argued with the hot pot restaurant owner.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ping'an simply took two quick steps and overtook the skinny young man who was cursing and walking away into the distance. He didn't stop him or strike up a conversation.

Lin Zhiyong was relieved to find out that he wasn't looking for that illegal worker.

As for whether he is worried about the danger of Chen Ping'an running out to buy things for no reason?

Anyone who thinks this way is crazy!

In broad daylight, in a busy street, the probability of danger is very low.

Besides, Lin Zhiyong can't possibly stay by Chen Ping'an's side and watch over him forever!

Although America is known as the land of freedom, where gunfights happen every day, it's such a big country that bad luck can't just fall on Chen Ping'an's head when he just got off the plane and came to a restaurant for a meal.

Seeing him walk past the young man toward the convenience store, I turned and went into the store.

After passing the future California sheriff, Chen Ping'an gradually slowed down his pace, maintaining a distance between them.

Then, pretending to reach into his pocket, he actually took out five $20 bills from his own pocket and casually dropped them on the ground.

He seemed oblivious and continued walking forward.

Behind him, the lean, short-haired young man, a future California sheriff, suddenly saw several bright green banknotes fall from the pocket of the man in front of him as he was taking something out, and the man didn't even notice.

Upon closer inspection, wow... five $20 bills! I'm going to strike it rich today!

The lean, short-haired young man's face lit up with joy, but he didn't dare to make any big moves. Instead, he walked over with normal steps and gently stepped on the banknotes.

Then, he crouched down slightly, picked up the banknotes with lightning speed, clenched them in his hand, put them in his pocket, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The $100 he received was precious to him, an unpaid worker who had just been kicked out by his boss.

If you go to a discount store, a dollar is enough to buy a donut, and with the free drinking water from the tap, that's a meal!

Although the water from the tap doesn't taste good.

As for finding money, calling out to the person in front of him, and returning the money, he never even considered that.

Perhaps back in the country, he might return it to the other party.

But where am I now?

This is America, California, a foreign land.

He picked it up and returned it to the person. What benefit did he get from that?

Especially when he saw the person in front of him pat his pocket, as if he had realized he had lost money, and turn around to walk back, he pretended not to know anything, quickly brushed past him, and left!

But after he walked away, clutching the $100 in his hand, he didn't feel particularly happy; instead, he felt a strange emptiness in his heart.

"Damn, I'm not even happy about finding money? What's wrong with me?"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"

"I'll go live on my account and stream for my fans in China. The stream room name will be 'Giving the Chinese Bosses in California a Hard Time!'"

"You dare not pay me my wages? I'll report you to the tax bureau and have you fined to death, you son of a bitch!"

As the lean, short-haired young man walked, he took out his phone. He had just started a live stream and hadn't even said anything when he noticed a black man across the street staring at him with hostility.

At the corner of that alley, there seemed to be another black man making some kind of deal with someone. He had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that the other man seemed to have a weapon at his waist.

During that moment of distraction, the camera on his phone, which he was holding straight up, was pointing right at that spot.

The black man opposite him saw this, reached for his lower back, and rushed towards them. When he raised his hand, it was a gun.

Holy crap!

The lean, short-haired man reacted quickly. He was almost terrified when the other man charged at him with a gun, but his instinct for survival made him react swiftly.

In a mere 0.001 seconds, I turned around, swung my arms, and took off running.

But the other side has guns!

With a bang, the figure running for his life came to an abrupt halt, collapsing to the ground and remaining motionless.

After firing the shots, the two black men quickly stopped the transaction, jumped into a beat-up car, and drove off!

Not far away, Chen Ping'an, who had already returned to the entrance of the Sichuan hot pot restaurant, turned around and glanced back when he heard the gunshot.
