The panel is so simple, with only four items.

Henry Bruce thought to himself that Henry would just be Henry. He had traveled through time anyway, and he had to get used to his new identity early. From now on, he would be Henry Bruce.

Henry Bruce, who has been a mercenary for more than three years, feels that one of his biggest improvements is that he has learned to adapt to circumstances.

Anyway, stay alive!

Living well is the first priority!

As for the purpose of living, there will always be time to figure it out after surviving.

The feedback given by Physique LV1 is that of an ordinary Caucasian adult.

Henry's thoughts were focused on the progress bar and the green bead.

The green bead is a third-level release bead, which is equivalent to 10 first-level release beads, so the panel is officially activated, and the level is 1.

Upgrading the panel to level 2 requires 100 first-level release beads, so the progress is now 1%.

The release beads obtained by freeing Brian were actually level three!

This is because of his strength, status, fame, wealth, etc. combined far exceed that of ordinary people.

And that inexplicable charm that circulates is a skill extracted from Brian.

Is it equivalent to an elite monster in an online game?

Henry felt like he was playing a video game.

Before traveling through time, he enjoyed playing "Red Dead Redemption 2" and did whatever he wanted in it.

Sometimes he transforms into a police sergeant or a bounty hunter to chase down various gangsters, sometimes he transforms into various villains to cause endless killings, and sometimes he slays various giant wolves, mountain lions and other wild beasts.

At that time, he always felt that, as a modern mercenary, he was a modern African cowboy, with the same wanderings in the wilderness, the same adventures, the same constraints and the same freedom.

Who would have thought that one day he would actually travel to the vast western wilderness?

If there really was Arthur in this world, he would have been 17 years old when he was born in 1863.

But Henry looked around, everything was so real, and he couldn't believe that this was just a game.

There is no hint that this is the world of "Red Dead Redemption 2".

No matter what, you only have one life, so be careful.

Henry suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, quickly remounted his horse, and headed towards the three gangsters more than 100 meters away.

Henry's top priority now is to see if there are any other gains.

For example, Brian was more kind. He held on until Henry held his head up before he burped and contributed a green bead.

In fact, Sheriff Brian has always taken good care of Henry, but Henry Bruce, who has obtained all of Henry's memories, still feels like he is watching a TV series through a screen.

He feels that he is a completely irrelevant third party and does not have many emotional fluctuations.

The guy among the three gangsters, who was leaning against the hill, looked to be about thirty years old. He had a big hole in the center of his hip, and his chest and abdomen were still rising slightly.

Overjoyed, Henry raised his gun and shot the blond and white-skinned guy in the heart, and instantly harvested another equally vibrant green bead.

11% of the progress bar is lit.

Happy!

Henry rode his horse to the gangster on the right, more than ten meters away, and found a big hole in the guy's head between his eyebrows. He must have burped.

But Henry still shot him in the chest unwillingly.

What if there are still surprises?

Henry thought.

However, as the gangster's chest exploded, Henry gained nothing. He had to ride angrily to the gangster on the other side.

No matter what state the opponent was in, Henry shot the gangster lying there in the torso.

Huh? !

I harvested a milky white release bead, which also had an inexplicable charm flowing around it.

This is the second level release bead. The progress bar has advanced by 5% - lit up by 16%.

Henry happily rode his horse back and forth along the mountain road, as if he were a fishpond owner looking for crayfish, loaches, snakehead fish and eels in a fishpond that was drying up.

It took more than ten minutes to reload the 15-round rifle twice. Henry fired one shot at all the remaining 40 gangster bodies, and once again harvested 6 gray beads and 4 white beads, but there was no inexplicable charm flowing from those beads.

Later, when he recharged his gun, he deliberately avoided the gangster's head - it would be a big loss if he couldn't recognize it if there was a reward.

At this time, the progress bar lights up to 42%.

Henry suddenly discovered that a dark gold sphere appeared faintly above the progress bar, and there were some mysterious patterns on the sphere.

"Why do these patterns look so familiar?" Henry murmured to himself.

Suddenly, he remembered - this dark golf ball was picked up by him when he passed a destroyed indigenous village during a mission.

He fell in love with it at first sight. Later, after returning to the mercenary city, he found a worker to set it on an 18K gold necklace as a pendant and hung it around his neck.

Could it be that he traveled through time because of this ball?

The more he looked at the orb, the more obvious this feeling became.

Suddenly, he found himself in a circular space.

Inexplicably, he knew that he was at the center of this sphere. The radius of the space was 1 meter. This was the inside of the dark gold sphere.

With a thought, Henry's consciousness returned to his body.

Could it be? !

With a thought, the Winchester rifle in his hand disappeared out of thin air and appeared inside the dark gold sphere, floating out of thin air.

Henry thought again, and the rifle appeared in his hands again.

Sure enough, this is a legendary storage space!

With a radius of 1 meter, the volume is 4.187 cubic meters, which is enough to hold a large amount of supplies.

At least it can hold the guns, ammunition and weapons of these gangsters.

So Henry began to touch the corpses one by one like an old farmer cutting down sugar cane one by one in the farmland.

"This elgin gold-filled pocket watch is good, as are these two double-action Colt M1878 revolvers - also .44-40 caliber, and this Gurkha scimitar is good..."

Henry murmured happily to himself as he touched the body.

After spending nearly another hour, Henry finally completed all the work of searching for the corpses. All the weapons, money bags and wallets that could be removed from the gangsters were put into space by Henry.

There are also some miscellaneous items such as cooking utensils, dry food, raincoats, coats, tinderboxes, etc.

There were 44 wallets, among which the bandit leader who contributed the green beads had a large stack of US dollars in denominations of 100 yuan and 50 yuan.

Henry judged it to be at least several thousand dollars based on its thickness.

The purchasing power of the U.S. dollar today is amazing.

The weekly salary of ordinary workers is 2-3 US dollars, and the monthly salary is about 10 US dollars.

Senior wage earners can earn US$5-6 per week.

If the current purchasing power of 1 US dollar is calculated based on the unit price of gold, it will be equivalent to about 29 US dollars in 2024.

But taking into account price inflation, the purchasing power of 1 US dollar is actually equivalent to 100–150 times that in 2024.

In other words, the bandit leader's pocket alone contributed to Henry the equivalent of 1 million US dollars in 2024.

In Henry's memory, the bounty list for gangsters on the Frisco Police Department's bounty list is usually 400-500 US dollars.

The legendary bandit who shocked the whole country can earn more than 3,000 US dollars.

Henry felt that there was definitely something wrong with this unknown gang leader, who actually had a huge sum of money to ambush the enemy.
