Wild North America 1846

Chapter 20 Mission
One taught with heart, the other learned with all his heart, plus Li Cha had the ability to almost never forget, after repeating it a few times, he was able to make the five tigers breaking the door sword technique look good, and he also mastered the trick of using force.

This made Liu Wuda amazed, but he couldn't help being shocked, and began to doubt his talent in martial arts.

back in the day
After Liu Wu had practiced Zhuang Gong and other basic skills for three years, he was taught the five tigers breaking the door knife technique by his master, and it took more than three months of hard work to make it look good.

How long did it take the young master?
It only took more than half an hour from the beginning to the end. During this period, Liu Wu pointed out the moves, and Li Cha was able to understand them immediately.

Seriously, there's nothing magical about this either.

There are only 64 moves in the five tigers' door-breaking sword technique. When Li Wu was learning the art from his master, he learned one move a day, and he had to practice repeatedly to become proficient.

64 tricks are performed consecutively, that is, it takes less than 3 minutes. If the speed is faster, the trick will be over in 2 minutes.

Liu Wu taught these 64 moves together, coupled with Li Cha's never-forgotten intelligence, it is not difficult to learn, but how to make the knife more powerful?

The same knife technique has different powers in the hands of different people.

Li Cha's strength, agility, and physical strength are all far superior to ordinary people. Once he gets used to this sword technique, his power rises in a straight line after he is proficient. He was soon able to fight back and forth with Liu Wu, who has an 8% power output.

Seeing Liu Wu stunned by this rapid improvement in strength, not to mention the admiration in his heart, he was really convinced, and taught him more and more carefully.

two days later

Shanhaiguan held a grand inauguration ceremony in red and green, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and praying to God.

The closed gate of Shanhaiguan is made of thick giant wood. It takes two people to lift the heavy wooden bolt. There are two upper and lower gates, which can connect the two gates into a whole.

Due to financial constraints, it was originally planned to cover the outer side of the closed door with steel plates, inlaid with steel corners, and reinforced with steel bars. These steps can only be discussed later.

The 4-meter-high wall extends for more than 170 meters, stretching between the valley mouths. One end connects to the cliffs, and the other end goes deep into the Yudai River for more than ten meters, protecting the huge Grape Valley.

The wall of the village is made up of closely arranged round logs, with oblique supports and a one-meter-wide wooden path installed inside. It looks sturdy and tall, and has a very good defensive ability.

The musketeers of the Tang Dynasty can patrol along the wooden path on the top of the wall. The high wall can block the invasion of wild animals and the harm of bandits, just looking at it is very reassuring.

Shanhaiguan was built, and the Datang Club won unanimous praise from the Chinese, and its prestige rose unprecedentedly.

three days before and after

The camp on the top of the hill has also begun to take shape. A wooden wall about 2 meters high has been built around it, and the "gate"-shaped house is under construction. The long stables can raise more than 5 horses. There are also several strong warehouses built.

It is estimated that in another week, all can be built.

At the inauguration ceremony of Shanhaiguan

When everyone was excited, Li Cha publicly announced that everyone would be exempted from the five-dollar fee for this month, starting from April, which aroused cheers again.

If you can pay less than one month's money, you will earn money. Who can be unhappy?

at the same time
Li Cha announced that Datang would use its credit guarantee to keep gold sands and other properties for Chinese gold diggers for a fee, and issue certificates, only charging an annual custodial fee of 6%.

This initiative provides a good way to keep wealth for those Chinese gold diggers who suffer from nowhere to hide their belongings.

Of course, this is a paid service that requires a fee.

after the celebration
An endless stream of Chinese laborers embarked on the road to the Washington River to pan for gold. They were full of hope that as long as they found the gold sand and brought it back, they would be able to have peace of mind and no longer have to worry about being bullied and robbed by white cowboys.

In terms of hard work, who else would the Chinese workers be afraid of?

early spring march
The climate in San Francisco is cold in spring, and there is plenty of sunshine at noon, but it is still quite cold in the morning and night. The temperature is below 0 degrees, and the land is frozen hard.

In such a cold climate, panning for gold by the river is quite a pain. After soaking in the icy river water all day long to sieve the pan back and forth, it won't take long for it to become numb from the cold.

It's only a little better at noon, and you can get some golden sand by taking advantage of the sunny period.

Every year, it is not until after April that the weather warms up sharply. Caucasians, Chinese and Mexican gold diggers flock to the American River one after another, entering the gold rush season.

at the same time
All kinds of fierce conflicts caused by scrambling for territory and snatching sands have also risen sharply. The corpses floating in the American River from time to time fully illustrate the cruel law of the jungle in the gold mining area.

Grape Valley
Most of the Chinese laborers have dispersed, leaving only more than 260 people who built the camp. They are still in the process of intensive construction. A large number of logs and various planks are piled up along the Shanhai Pass. Here it is naturally air-dried.

Not far away by the red oak forest, French military instructor Mike Rabiot was leading the soldiers to train, and the sound of gunfire sounded much denser than before.

On a flat field between two log piles

A mass of bright knife light rolled and rose, and the figure in the knife light was as strong as a swimming dragon, and suddenly turned to the left, and now to the right. The splashed knife light was like a violent storm, disturbing the air and making a slight scream...

after a long time
The light of the knife dissipated, Li Cha's chest heaved violently and slowly retracted the knife, a fine layer of sweat appeared on his white forehead, and his face after exercising looked extraordinarily rosy.

Exhaling a long breath of foul air, he took a few steps to the side of the wood pile, took a few gulps from the water bottle, and then wiped the water from his jaw, feeling the heat and soreness all over his body after a lot of exercise.

Now a week has passed, and his Five Tigers Breaking Doors Saber Technique has achieved a small degree of success, and his strength has been greatly improved visible to the naked eye.

It is roughly comparable to Liu Wu, who is outputting at full strength. Although he is slightly disadvantaged, the difference is not too big.

Picking up a towel and wiping the sweat off his face, Li Cha sat down on the pile of logs. While taking a short rest, he called up the system interface, and the expression on his face quickly became exciting.

After adding points, Li Cha's personal attribute panel data is; physical strength 2.5, intelligence 2.3, bloodline 2.1, strength 2.4, agility 2.7, reproductive ability 1.9.

Free attribute points; none, talent, none, mutation ability, none, animal transformation ability, none, bloodline ability, none, potential points, none.

After adding the last free attribute point to strength, Li Cha's physical fitness has improved in an all-round way, and his overall strength has increased considerably. There are no obvious shortcomings in physical strength, agility, strength, and intelligence.

If there is a simple analogy, it is basically equivalent to a second-round rookie in the NBA draft, with all kinds of physical fitness, which is far beyond ordinary people.

In this world, there are indeed talented people.

The one-in-a-million NBA basketball rookie players all have extraordinary physical talents, which are their reliance on being able to dominate the arena.

In the first round of the NBA show, there are even some "physical monsters", especially black athletes who are good at sports, which is really amazing.

The wishful thinking in Li Cha's heart is to cheat and gain an asymmetric advantage. Wouldn't it be stupid not to hug such a thick thigh?
Didn't Lin Zhanyuan practice Tongzi Gong since he was a child, and he has obtained the true instruction of Southern Shaolin?
It's okay, I'll hang up.

Isn't Lin Zhanyuan known as "fist, leg, and sword are three unique skills, and there are few opponents in Guangdong and Guangxi"?

It's okay, I'll hang up.

There are three ongoing prestige tasks in Richard's system panel, namely;
Everyone knows the prestige task; 9989/10000, not completed.

Force quest; 1477/1000 completed.

Prestige title quest "Protector of San Francisco Chinese Gold Diggers"; 2547/2955 incomplete.

After Li Cha accepted the duel invitation from Lin Zhanyuan, the young gang leader of the Agreement Hall, he deliberately sent people to spread the news, which further increased his popularity. Not only the vast majority of Chinese immigrants knew, but also many local whites and Mexicans I also know.

Now, there is only a short distance from the final completion of the "Everybody Knows Prestige Mission".

Li Cha is very much looking forward to the rich rewards the system can bring him after completing this task.

Force quest; 1477/1000 completed.

This refers to the number of people that the Datang Society can command and mobilize. Li Cha mobilized the Chinese laborers to build Shanhaiguan regardless of pay. This action was defaulted by the system to the Chinese workers living in Grape Valley and belonged to the Datang Society.

Prior to this, he had already completed three power level missions of 10 people, 100 people, and 1000 people.

The reward is; the Prestige Store is officially open.

Currently, the Prestige Store has opened three categories: Tickets, Blueprints and Cold Weapons.

Li Cha studied it carefully and found that all the products produced in the prestige store are good things, which are of great benefit to the establishment and expansion of power, but they are not obviously helpful to personal strength.

such as tickets;

In today's prestige store, you can choose to exchange custom coupons, which can be "Datang Club Gold Equivalent Exchange Voucher" or "XX Bank Exchange Voucher", which are equivalent to currency.

The U.S. dollar, British pound, French franc, mark, peso, and custom currencies in the ticket system are all gray and have not yet been enabled.

That is to say;

Redemption of this rudimentary custom ticket can have strong anti-counterfeiting performance without the need for a printing house, similar to the US dollar bills issued by state banks and insurance companies that are popular in the St. Francis market, and have currency functions.

As long as Datang Society is famous enough, the bills issued are well-known and have enough strength to guarantee, then this kind of custom coupons can be used as currency.

In the San Francisco market, gold sand, gold nuggets, British pounds, francs, marks, Spanish silver coins, and dollar bills issued by banks and insurance companies in various states in the United States can all be used as currency.

If Datang will set up a bank in the future, this exchange function will become a sharp weapon for expansion, because the custom coupons produced by the system cannot be imitated, as long as there is enough strength to endorse, the future is worth looking forward to.

But this thing is a bit far away, and it won't be useful for the time being.

For example, the blueprints are currently open to production blueprints, and now they can be exchanged for the blueprints of "waterwheel type gold pan", "waterwheel type mill" blueprint, "waterwheel type rice pounding workshop" blueprint, "waterwheel type forging hammer" "Drawings, etc., are basically primary drawings in line with the productivity level of today's era.

Get some carpenters to figure it out, and you'll almost be able to build it.

tell the truth

This is the industrial foundation for establishing a comprehensive and powerful force. There will be further blueprints that will not be released in the future. Li Cha is not in a hurry to start doing it, but waits until later.

Cold weapons, such as swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, even the equipment of French cuirassiers, can be customized at a certain price.

This thing, Li Cha felt that if he wanted to arm a capable cuirassier team in the future, it might be useful.But it's not urgent right now.

Since it is a prestige store, there must be a price to be paid for the exchange. After completing the missions of 10 people, 100 people, and 1000 people, there are 1110 more reputation points in Richard's account.

In other words, every time his power expands by one more person, he can gain one more reputation point.

Prestige points can be exchanged for items in the prestige store, and can also be exchanged for prestige points with gold. The price is 1 ounce of gold for 1 point.

The standard Tang knife that Li Cha is currently using is redeemed from the reputation store, and requires a reputation point.

If calculated by gold parity, that is 1 ounce of gold, which is worth about 20 US dollars.

The price is too high. When Li Cha used it, he felt that this knife was very sharp, and the steel edge was very good. He didn't know what alloy it was made of. The slashing on the ordinary steel knife hardly caused any damage, so it could be called a precious knife.

But at this price, you can buy 15 steel knives, and you can use them yourself. It is not cost-effective to equip ordinary soldiers, so you can only think about it.

From the above experience, some characteristics can be summarized;
Completing each level of prestige missions, the rewards you get can greatly enhance your own strength, whether it is strength, physical strength, intelligence, agility, or blood, the benefits are huge.

The rewards obtained for completing each level of power missions are used to promote the overall power enhancement, but the benefits to individuals are not obvious, and the focus is on long-term development.

The 3rd prestige title task "Protector of San Francisco Chinese Gold Diggers" has not been completed yet.

Progress display; 2547/2955 Chinese unfinished

According to Li Cha's private guess;
This should be 2955 Chinese in San Francisco, including all men and women.Everyone must know everyone and everyone knows, in order to be able to complete the task.

His reputation has spread very loudly in the Chinese community, and very few people don't know it.

if any

It can only be the women in the brothels controlled by the Agreement Hall or the Chinese gold diggers in the remote areas of the river. Leaving aside the Chinese gold diggers, let's talk about these "pig flower" groups that were trafficked to North America.

They are not interested in fighting and killing by nature, and they are trapped in the brothel, and the news is relatively closed.

Dealing with the guests who come and go every day, I have already lived a miserable life, so how can I have the leisure to care about others?
Whether the guess is accurate has yet to be verified by time.

Right now, Li Cha is most concerned about the "Everybody Knows Prestige Mission", which is almost completed...
