America: Starting with the Last Liberty

Rosen looked at Svefa in surprise.

"Huh? How did you know?"

"I guessed from watching TV!"

Svefa smiled and pointed to the television hanging in the corner of the bar.

These bars usually have a television set, which can broadcast important sporting events on certain days.

However, there weren't many games to watch today, and Fox News was broadcasting repeatedly, showing footage of Rosen riding the safari on the ring road at night.

"How could you guess that?"

"Hehe! Once I take a look, no matter what disguise you make, it's useless! But I didn't expect you to drive so fast. I wonder if you're this fast in other aspects too?"

Svefa rested her chin on her hand, her gaze sweeping downwards, causing Rosen to involuntarily close his legs.

Western women are known for their straightforwardness, and Rosen was already used to Svefa's teasing, so he simply went along with what she was saying.

"You can rest assured about that; every woman who's driven this car has given it rave reviews!"

"Really? Could I take it for a test drive? I do have some driving experience!"

Svefa licked her rosy lips, her eyes filled with allure.

"I'll definitely do it next time!"

"Tch! You always say that!"

Somewhat disappointed, Sweefer gave up on trying to seduce Rosen and turned to organize the liquor cabinet.

After watching the plump figure swaying back and forth in the distance for a while, Rosen finally looked at his phone.

There are currently a dozen or so jobs in downtown Los Angeles, but most of them are only 1-star difficulty jobs.

The Harvest Day system includes a reputation system, which is the reputation gained when completing tasks. Higher reputation allows you to unlock more difficult tasks.

After a month of hard work, Rosen's reputation is only 27 points, which is considered a promising start.

On mobile, you can only get jobs with a maximum difficulty of 2 stars, like tonight's Need for Speed ​​job, which is 2 stars.

"Hey! Looks like there's a job available at the bar!"

It's not too surprising that this job came up at this bar, since the Need for Speed ​​job was also picked up at this bar.

Rosen began observing the bar's patrons, looking for someone who might be posting a job.

Some jobs will be taken by someone else if Rosen doesn't take them; the jobs won't wait for him there forever.

Soon, Rosen noticed that the atmosphere at a table of people playing cards was a bit strange.

Four burly men were playing cards, and three of them seemed to be in cahoots, giving the impression of a three-on-one situation.

The one who got eaten was clearly unhappy and turned to leave before the game was even over.

After observing for a while, Rosen decided to go over and test the waters.

"Hey bro! We're one short for our three-player game, can I join?"

Of the three men, the one in the middle was a white man with a large beard, the most muscular, and looked like the leader.

The one on the left is a bald rune mage covered in tattoos; he would look even more like one if he had blue skin.

As for the little mustache on the right... isn't that Captain Jack Sparrow?

Has Captain Jack Sparrow come ashore?

Rosen looked thoughtful. In fact, he had long noticed that something was wrong with this world, especially the people he had encountered after moving recently.

So, is this actually a special world that is a mixture of various films and television dramas?

This is getting more and more interesting!

Rosen was observing the three men, and the three men were also sizing him up.

Apart from Captain Jack Sparrow, who seemed somewhat distracted and whose gaze was shifting so much that it was unclear who he was looking at, the bearded man and the rune mage were both staring at Rosen with the same scrutinizing eyes one would use to appraise merchandise.

Then, the rune mage spoke.

"Only tough guys can play cards with us, are you? You pretty boy!"

Actually, Rosen's physique is quite good even by American standards. He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, much taller than Captain Jack Sparrow.

(Johnny Depp's official height is 178 cm, but male actors usually exaggerate their height, so his real height is probably around 170 cm.)

I was quite thin because the food was poor when I first arrived.

However, he is indeed a pretty boy. Lawson has a fair complexion that appeals to both East and West, and he has a look that is a combination of John Lone and Keanu Reeves. His Asian features are not very obvious.

Such an appearance would surely make some ugly men who consider themselves "tough guys" jealous.

However, without such a face, how could our distinguished and handsome readers feel a sense of identification?

"What a coincidence! I'm the toughest one in this bar! Want to give it a try?"

Rosen slammed the Glock 18 onto the table, his attitude extremely arrogant.

On the streets of America, no amount of politeness or courtesy will work; people simply don't buy into it.

Only if your gun barrel is bigger and longer than others' will people treat you with more respect.

Upon seeing Rosen slam the Glock 18 onto the table, the bearded man and the rune mage's attitudes indeed changed.

The bearded man flashed a tiger-like smile that could scare a child to tears.

"You can join, but you must continue playing the cards that the previous person just dealt!"

What kind of logic is this? Who plays their cards after someone else's?

Rosen suspected this was some kind of hint.

"Okay, let me see what kind of card this is."

The person who left left behind 5 cards: two Aces of Spades, two 8s of Spades, and one Jack of Diamonds.

This is America's famous "Dead Man's Hand" poker hand, which consists of two Aces of Spades, two 8s of Spades, and a random card.

This hand is said to be related to the legendary cowboy Bill Hickock, who was killed after drawing this hand while playing cards.

This hand type was later incorporated into various poker-related cultural practices.

There are also many superstitious people in America's area, and they definitely wouldn't want to play if they saw such an unlucky card combination.

"Do you want to join?"

"Add, why not add? Whose turn is it now?"

Rosen doesn't share America's traditional superstitions.

"It's your turn to play your card."

"A pair of Aces of Spades"

Rosen played his card casually, but to his surprise, none of the three opponents could counter it.

"A pair of eights of spades."

After another pair was played, the bearded man and the rune mage on the opposite side had strange expressions; they had also noticed the death card in Rosen's hand.

Captain Jack remained in a daze, his mind not on the card game at all.

The rune mage couldn't help but speak up.

"You dare to keep playing with a hand like that?"

Rosen smiled as he looked at the rune mage.

"Why wouldn't you dare? Everyone has to die eventually, the only difference is sooner or later. Do you want to enjoy yourself before you die, or live like a slave? Last card, Jack of Diamonds!"

The rune mage and the bearded man exchanged a glance, seemingly interested, and then the bearded man lowered his voice and asked a question.

"Hey, we need someone who's a good driver. How's your driving?"

"What a coincidence! Nobody in Los Angeles knows how to drive better than me!"
