A group of six people rode five horses in the scorching sun, and in front of them was the shadow of a tall mountain range. As for why it is five horses, it is obvious that our protagonist does not know how to ride a horse, and bears the bumps of the terrain by holding Mr. Fachao's waist.

"How far is it from the town? Mr. Nut. After half an hour of endurance, Mu Yi finally asked the question.

"Haha, delicate little master, I'll get there after crossing two mountain beams, look at your classmates." Nat laughed, and so did the three riders hanging from the back, "Look at the masters." ”

"Damn, we've been stuck in the desert for quite a few days, and it's the day of the week." Mu Yi scratched his head in embarrassment, "If it's convenient for you, I'll learn riding from you when I have time." ”

"Riding? Horseback riding is something every cowboy learns from a young age, but it's a nice thing to say. Nat looked back at a cowboy behind him, "What time is it today?" Mickey. ”

"August 24, 1872, tomorrow is the day of service." Mickey drew a cross on his chest.

······

As they chatted, they had crossed from the savanna into a hill, a relatively flat dirt road winding through the mountains. The sparse green trees on the hillside beside the road are gradually increasing.

After crossing another mountain beam, a small market town appeared in Mu Yi's eyes, and from a distance, you could roughly see dozens of wooden houses scattered around, the tallest building was only two floors, and it was located in a small plain between the valleys in a straight line. The trail passes through the market town forming a crossroads.

"It's so small, it's not half the size of our school." Fa Chao couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, don't be too loud! Our exempt town is also a famous town in the west! Ed roared.

"If you have the chance, you should go to Victoria Harbour! It is the most prosperous port in the world. Mu Yi's head looked to the east, "Long live Queen Victoria!" ”

Although Fa Chao scoffed at Nie Ming's behavior, he didn't debunk his performance, but just put his mouth to Nie Ming's ear and said, "You pay attention, it's fun if there is a conflict of worldviews." ”

Mu Yi didn't refute, just smiled.

Finally, 40 hours after entering the world, Mu Yi and Fa Chao stepped into the first population gathering place, Exempt Town.

As the two set foot in the town, the first side quest appeared.

(Found Human Market Town, Exempt Town, Modern Gunpowder Weapon Animal Husbandry Market Town, World Information Collection +50%)

(Side Quest: Explore Exempt Towns.)

Description: Explore the distribution of power, power system, strength, and world information in the town.

Quest Reward: +50% World Information Collection, which is calculated by stacking with Independent Exploration Completion. ）

(You've reached 120% of your exploration progress, you've reached the Level 1 reward node, you have 128 hours left in your stay, and you'll be ready to return after eight hours.) ）

Upon entering the town, Fachao returned the horses to the four cowboys and gave them a gold coin, "We will stay in the town these days, we should be staying in the tavern, Mr. Woodrow Dawrahhyde can come to us if he wants." ”

Mu Yi stood on the main road and looked around, with a blacksmith shop, a chapel, a two-storey tavern, a small trading house, two windmill mills, and a small dilapidated police station forming the center of the short street, surrounded by scattered households and stables. It seems that this is a market town for cowboys.

The aborigines on the side of the road curiously watched these two richly dressed young men, the gorgeous and straight suit of the French tide was a gold-trimmed cloak, and Nie Ming's clothes were replaced by a British-style school uniform by the inner plane. Mu Yi's height is not high, only 175, but in the 19th century, this height was already a relatively outstanding height, not to mention the 180 tide. However, their eyes were full of wariness and did not come closer.

The two walked around the town before finally heading to the tavern, a two-story tavern at the middle of the town, with a painted wooden plaque with the Gold Leaf. The two pushed the door open, and the old wooden door made an overwhelmed sound.

The interior of the tavern was a little dim, with seven or eight small wooden tables scattered around, and now there were only two elderly cowboys slowly drinking in the tavern. Directly opposite the door is the bar of the tavern, and behind the long and narrow bar is a man and a woman, two middle-aged people.

"Two glasses of whiskey." Fa Chao said as he stretched out his hand and pointed to the first black wine bottle behind the man. "What do you call the boss, I'm Franco, and this is Planck, from great England."

"Britain? Interesting, I'm a doctor, and this is my wife. The middle-aged boss pushed his glasses and skillfully poured two glasses of wine, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Biological population survey, it's a pity that we were scattered by horse bandits, this damn law and order." Mu Yi hammered the table.

"Sir, maybe you should talk to me." A voice came from outside the tavern, and the door was pushed open with force. His hands were stuck in the door, it was a pair of calloused hands, its owner had a thick mustache, a pair of small eyes that radiated essence, although he was also dressed in a denim jacket and riding boots, the six-pointed star seal on his chest clearly identified him as the town sheriff.

"Oh, dear Mr. Sheriff, I think it's the mayor of the town and not the sheriff." Mu Yi took a sip of whiskey and slowly took out Liu's ID card from his pocket, of course, the ID card had become an identity certificate issued by the Queen of England under the correction of the inner plane. "Introduce myself, Planck John, an Englishman, a biology student at the University of Cambridge, who came to the United States with Professor Hancock to conduct research on biological populations."

"Oh? Interesting outlander. The sheriff stroked his mustache, "It's a pity there isn't a mayor here, but if you want to do anything, you can go to Mr. Woodrow Daulahide for help." If you do something, I'll lock you up. ”

"Committing a crime? We are good law-abiding citizens. Fa Chao sneered, "I hope you don't stop our exploration and research." ”

"Can you verify the proof for me, sir?" The sheriff ignored the law tide and turned his head to Mu Yi and asked slowly.

"Please." Mu Yi threw his ID card to the sheriff. "We should stay in the tavern, please give it back to me after investigating."

The sheriff turned and walked away. The two also settled down smoothly.

······

For the rest of the day, they visited and researched the town, which was frighteningly simple.

It was a town formed as a result of the gold rush, but after the gold was not dug up, most of the people left, and what remains is an agricultural town based on livestock farming controlled by Colonel Woodrow Dawrahhead. Woodrow Daulahide, known as Iron Fist, is a retired soldier with a foolish son who is a waste but loves to bully. Other people of more status were Sheriff Tarbert, the tavern's owner, the doctor, and the old priest. The rest are poor people who work or cowboys who are on the loose.

At the same time, the history that the priest told them was exactly the same as the history of the world in their minds.

After learning about the current situation and dissecting an old horse and a turkey, the two of them successfully completed their mission, and at the same time added a lot of exploration progress.

(Side quest: Explore Exempt Town, quest completed.) +50% World Information Collection)

(Collect part of the overall view of the world, confirm the development trajectory of the era, biomes, and +80% of world information collection, reach the upper limit)

(Hint: In exploration, the maximum collection of the basic human civilization world is 200%, and you can get a second-level reward node.) You can return to space at any time, with or without sapient beings in your field of vision, or you can continue to explore for 118 hours. ）

At night, the two lay in a small cabin provided by the doctor and communicated.

"To the west and south, there will be small towns or cities, no man's land in the north and deserts in the east. Where do you think you want to go if you want to explore next? Fa Chao asked.

"Two cases, the superpowered and the alien." Mu Yi stretched out two fingers, "The former, it will not be wrong to go to a large settlement, while the latter, the risk of death is very high." I'm giving up on exploring and I'm going to practice here for a few days and then come back. ”

"What! Are you satisfied? Fa Chao was taken aback: "Do wise men care so much about their lives?" ”

"No, as you can see, I'm just a data-based ordinary person now, and I don't have any special abilities. And my number of adventures is less than 10, which is completely disproportionate to the risk and reward of your walk. Mu Yi waved his hand, "My purpose should be to help you integrate into society and open up new maps, my task should be done well, and the evaluation is enough." ”

"Are there such terrible limitations to exploration missions?" Fa Chao felt as if there were hands behind him pushing him into the abyss again.

"Being able to return at any time is to let you have a plan to return with your hole cards, and I think if you can't find the hidden power, then the rating will definitely not go up." Mu Yi said his reasoning, "In the end, I want you to exchange some dollars for me, not too much, just $500 according to the current situation." I can redeem it for completion."

"Interesting analysis, then tomorrow we will part ways." Fa Chao threw a handful of dollars to Mu Yi, "I hope that it will not be an enemy when I meet in the future, and wise people are troublesome things." ”

"Have a nice trip." Mu Yi waved his hand and fell asleep.
