Chapter 7 Starting a new life
A night with a sparse moon and stars.
In the bathroom on the second floor of the hotel.
Gu An, who had just taken a shower and had wet hair, looked at his face in the mirror, admiring himself from all angles. The more he looked at it, the more handsome he felt.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who is this guy? He looks just as good as Yanzu and Yu Yan, he almost compares to me, oh! It turns out it's me, then it's okay, hahahaha -
—”
Gu An, who turned his head to admire his perfect profile, glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly saw the little girl Bethea standing at the door of the bathroom at some point, looking at him blankly.
"Gah——"
Gu An's laughter stopped suddenly, and he looked awkwardly at Bethea, who was still looking at him expressionlessly even though her eyes were a little curious. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
After a stalemate for a while, seeing Bethea staring at him without speaking, Gu An still held back his embarrassment and took the initiative to ask with a smile:
"Ah...hahahaha, Bethea, what do you want to see me for?"
Bethea: "...help you wash your clothes."
"Ah? You want to help me wash clothes?"
Gu An is now wearing a warm crew-neck sweater and jeans, and has changed out of the thin black silk pajamas.
Looking at the skinny little Bethea, Gu An thought: The weather is still so cold, how can a little girl wash her own clothes? How can this be done?
So Gu An resolutely refused Bethea's help, saying that he could wash his clothes by himself.
In the laundry room, Gu An roughly washed and wrung out his silk pajamas, and then tied them on the rope by the window. Gu An conservatively estimated that it took him less than a minute.
Then, seeing the look in Bethea's eyes that was unclear whether it was surprise or confusion, Gu An smiled and returned to his room.
Shaking his hands that were not yet dry, Gu An sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the unfamiliar room in front of him. He couldn't help but think about everything that happened that day.
I traveled through time inexplicably.
I don't have anything on me, just an unreliable system.
Gu An felt like everything that was happening now was like he was having a weird dream. Maybe when he woke up tomorrow, he would be back on the big bed at home.
However, Gu An couldn't explain what he was thinking. After all, before today, his previous life had remained the same. He went to work and got off work repeatedly every day. His education was not high, he did not have two weekends off at work, and he could only work once a month.
Three days of rest and the boss’s permission is required…
Now Gu An has plenty of time. He doesn't have to get up early every morning to clock in, he doesn't have to smile at his hated boss, and he doesn't have to be tortured by those disgusting parties.
In addition to caring about his loved ones, Gu An found that he yearned for a life where he could live freely.
There was no mobile phone, computer, or hair dryer to dry his hair. Gu An, who was not used to it, grabbed his hair that was not dry yet and fiddled with the revolver named Silver Ash Flower.
After pouring out the bullets from the six bullet chambers and filling them up again, Gu An raised the silver-gray flower, squinted his eyes and aimed at the light bulb hanging on the beam, and said "da, da, da" to himself.
Gu An passed the time like this.
When he felt that his hair was almost dry, he lay on his back on the bed without taking off his clothes. He covered himself with the quilt and placed the revolver Silver Flower next to the pillow. He turned off the light and looked at the dark room. Gu An didn't know.
I fell asleep before I knew it.
The next day, early morning.
Gu An suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a wooden beam with light bulbs hanging on it. When he turned around, he saw a strange, dark room.
"I've really traveled through time, it's really not a dream..."
Before Gu An could sigh, the familiar red transparent light curtain suddenly appeared in front of his eyes: "Daily tasks have been released, and random tasks have been refreshed."
"What the hell?_?..."
The system vaguely said there was a mission, but there was no hint at all about the content of the mission. Gu An felt angry when he thought of the beating mission he had completed yesterday!
Take a look at those systematic novels. Which of the systems owned by the protagonist is not trying to make the protagonist more invincible?
And what about his own? He really does nothing, just like a bastard. When he encounters such a weird system, Gu An just wants to spit on it and say, "Bad chicken, you are not worthy of being in my system!"
"
…
After adjusting his mentality, he put on a warm and lightweight leather jacket, put on a black and brown cowboy hat, and adjusted the brim of the hat. Gu An, a novice trainee bounty hunter, opened the door and walked towards a new life.
Breakfast consists of oatmeal and bread, both made by the old Baker himself. They taste good and Gu An eats them well.
After breakfast, Gu An walked out of the hotel and was going to find a place to test the power of the revolver in his hand. He also wanted to visit this small town.
The weather in the town is good today. The sun has appeared, the sunshine is warm and bright, and the cold wind that raged yesterday has also disappeared. The town looks peaceful under the sun.
However, Gu An had been walking around the town for less than two or three minutes when he heard someone calling him.
"Good morning, Yan Shuangying."
Huh? Who? Whose name is Yan Shuangying? Oh, by the way, I use the name Yan Shuangying now.
Gu An was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that someone was calling him.
Hearing the sound, Gu An looked over and saw Hank, who was smiling brightly, riding a white horse with gray spots on his body, slowly walking over.
This was the first time Gu An saw someone riding a horse in front of him. To be honest, when Gu An was young, he watched those martial arts movies and imagined himself riding a horse galloping down the street with a knife on his back.
Seeing Gu An's eyes fixed on the little flower horse under him, Hank smiled and stretched out his hand to pat the little flower horse's neck and said: "It's called Xiaohua, and he is my partner. How does my little flower look like?
Aren’t you very proud?”
"Yeah, very energetic."
Gu An nodded and continued to look at the little flower horse under Hank. He couldn't help but ask: "Hank, if I want to buy a horse like Xiaohua, how much will it cost?"
"Well, it's not very expensive, just a few hundred copper coins."
As he spoke, Hank looked Gu An up and down. Looking at Gu An, who was wearing a cowboy hat, leather jacket, and jeans, Hank touched his bearded chin:
"Well, that's right. Now you are only one good horse away from becoming a professional bounty hunter."
How many hundred copper coins does a horse cost?
When he heard the price, Gu An instantly became quiet.
He only had one copper coin on him.
He still owes fifty-two copper coins to the old Sheriff White and about ten coins to the innkeeper Baker, and his current assets are negative.
I have no money, it’s so uncomfortable!
"What? You don't have any money? It's okay. I can lend it to you first, but hey hey hey..."
Seeing Gu An's embarrassment about having no money, Hank spoke very enthusiastically, but as he spoke, he stared at Gu An's face, which he thought was comparable to Yu Yan and Yan Zu, and started to smile evilly.
Well, what does this mean?
Seeing Hank's slightly lewd smile, Gu An couldn't help but tense up behind him.
Hey, does this Hank have that kind of special hobby? But it doesn’t look like it...
Are you trying to amuse me? After thinking about it, Gu An decided to go back in disgust.
So he also started to smile evilly at Hank, and his smile was even more obscene than Hank's.
"Hey Hey Hey……"
Sure enough, Hank's smile froze when he saw that Gu An was not only not embarrassed, but actually even more excited and expectant than himself.
It didn't look like he was pretending. He started to frown and looked at Gu An warily.
"What's wrong, Hank, why are you looking at me like this?" Gu An continued to ask with a squinted smile.
"...Can you please stop laughing? If you continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but draw a gun and shoot you a few times."
"Oh, don't be impulsive. It was you who smiled at me first." Gu An quickly stopped the smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
