Chapter 4 Three Hundred Dollars, Rise to Fame

The carriage finally stopped in front of a low brown building.

That was Valentine's sheriff's office, the town's police station.

"We have arrived."

After tying the horse to the hitching post next to the door, Sergeant Malloy pulled the brim of his hat and ordered:

"Morris, Steven, please dispose of these corpses. Tomorrow we will announce the good news of the destruction of the Anderson gang to the townspeople."

After finishing speaking, he came to the kidnapped robber and grabbed his collar, "As for you, stay in prison for a while!"

Watching Sergeant Malloy lead the robbers into the office, Rorschach also stepped forward and followed.

The office is not too spacious.

A desk and a row of filing cabinets, a bed, boilers for heating and cooking.

It can be seen that this is not only an office, but also a temporary residence.

As soon as you enter the door, there are several reward orders posted on the wall on the right.

The target on one of the reward orders was Anders Anderson, who was killed by Rorschach not long ago!

Further forward, the space on the right is occupied by two simple iron cells.

After roughly scanning the office structure, Rorschach looked away and landed on Sergeant Malloy who had just thrown the robber into the cell.

"Young man, you have done an impressive job and one less major problem in the area."

"If all bounty hunters were as competent as you, those damned wanted criminals wouldn't get away with it..."

While speaking, Sergeant Malloy hung the cell key back to his waist, came to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of thick banknotes:

"Here's your bounty..."

Anderson gang boss Anders Anderson, offering a reward of $150.

Then each gang member is worth fifty dollars, three members is $150.

That's three hundred dollars together!
You know, in the western part of the United States in this era, the monthly income of an ordinary worker is only a few dollars.

Such a high reward amount is enough to show how many crimes Anderson has committed for these people...

"Thank you."

Just as he reached out to take the banknotes handed over by the sheriff, Luo Xia heard another "ding" in his mind.

A cold mechanical voice followed:
[Trigger side quests - rise to fame! 】

[Mission content: You have taken the first step to become the evil killer, next, start your reputation! 】

[Task requirements: Complete five rewards]

[Mission success, reward: Any skill mastery increased by one level! 】

[Mission failure, punishment: In the center of Heishui Town, shout ten times: I am Sand Dollar! 】

[Task time: two months! 】

【Are you accepting the mission? 】

Hearing the punishment for mission failure, the corners of Rorschach's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

After experiencing the experience of the previous world, he has long been used to the bad taste of the system.

However, even if the system did not issue this task, he still planned to join the bounty hunter industry.

This is a job that could kill you at any time.

Of course, high risk comes with high reward.

Capture or kill a gang member, you can get a huge sum of fifty dollars.

Of course, depending on how dangerous the wanted criminal is and what crimes he has committed, the bounty will increase accordingly.

One hundred, two hundred dollars, or even thousands of dollars of wanted criminals are not absent.

It sounds like a very lucrative career.

Besides, even for the reward of the mission, he had to work hard to complete the mission.

As long as the task is completed, Rorschach will definitely upgrade the skill [Gun Mastery] from C-level to B-level immediately.

According to his experience in the previous world, he knew that the skill [Firearms Proficiency], in addition to understanding and transforming the structure of firearms, also included the use of firearms and shooting accuracy.

In other words, as his mastery of skills upgrades, his marksmanship will definitely improve!

And in the dangerous west, whether in a town or in the wild, if you encounter one or a bunch of malicious guys, the other party may take out a revolver and aim it at your head.

Once in that situation, only the gun in your hand can save yourself.

It can be said that the better the marksmanship, the longer you live!
Thinking of this, Luo Xia silently recited in his heart without hesitation:
"accept!"

After seeing that Rorschach took the bounty, he didn't leave immediately. Sheriff Malloy, who was leaning on the desk, was also willing to learn more about this bounty hunter who just came from the east.

After all, he's really, really young, too young to be a bounty hunter who hunts criminals for a living...

The sheriff first took out a cigar from the inner layer of the windbreaker, put it in his mouth, and then lit a match with a brush.

After lighting the cigar, he took a deep puff and exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth before asking in a deep voice:
"Young man, how long do you intend to stay in Valentine?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Rorschach responded casually, "Depending on the situation, if there is a chance to make money here, I might stay here for a few more months."

"Valentine welcomes all law-abiding people." After a pause, the sheriff seemed to have noticed something, and asked suddenly: "Speaking of which, young man, why didn't I see your gun?"

Hearing this, Rorschach was taken aback for a moment, then stretched his hand into his waist, and took out the Schofield revolver he had just obtained from the [System Space]:
"Did you mean this?"

Looking at the slender and exquisite silver-white revolver in Rorschach's hand, the sheriff couldn't help but praise: "Well, Schofield...a good choice."

"Want to hear my advice?"

Rorschach frowned, "Of course!"

I saw Sergeant Malloy holding a cigar in one hand, pushing aside the hem of the windbreaker with the other hand, patted the gun holster next to his right thigh, and said:
"Your gun should not be hidden, but for everyone to see. Only in this way, those guys with bad intentions will not act rashly."

Hearing this, Rorschach nodded helplessly, "Sheriff, thank you for your suggestion. It's just that my belt just broke, that's why I'm like this..."

Yes, that's it.

It's definitely not because he just came to this world and doesn't have the money to buy a belt!

"So that's how it is... How about it, you go to the tailor shop and tell him that Malloy introduced you, and he will give you a discount."

"Okay, I'll tell him..."

Sensing that Sergeant Malloy didn't want to continue the chat, Rorschach tactfully said goodbye and left.

Leaving the sheriff's office, with a huge sum of more than 300 US dollars in his pocket, his mood suddenly improved a lot.

Looking up at the blue sky, I suddenly felt that the sun was very warm, and even the faint smell in the air was not as unacceptable as it was at first...

Since he is going to sit on the sidelines in Valentine and wait for the arrival of the Van der Lin gang, he must first solve his accommodation problem...
