Chapter 18 Rules for Time Travelers, Article 1
This is the fourth simulation!
The first time took less than two hours.
The second time, less than a day.
The third time, less than half a year.
The fourth time, one year...
Is this still a wise man?
That's it……
In an instant, Zhu Xianhai's face became even uglier. The words on the tombstone were simply the biggest irony of his life.
"What great wise man... bullshit."
He cursed fiercely.
"It's Mitre! It must be that bastard. It's that bastard who's trying to kill me for money. He's trying to murder me. He wants to take over my pharmacy!"
What explanation is needed here?
There is no need for explanation, and we know the answer. This is blatant murder for money.
But what can we do even if that is the case?
Who is Mitre?
Bartolomé Mitre.
He was a subordinate of President Urquiza, and served successively as the provincial interior and foreign minister, military minister, and senior official, establishing the provincial armed forces and commanding the war with the Confederate Army. A few months ago, he was promoted to major general.
Because he was dissatisfied with the "San Nicolas Agreement" signed by Urquiza, he colluded with the big landowners in Buenos Aires and launched an armed rebellion...
And he is also the future president of Argentina.
…
Why did he kill himself?
Ultimately, it’s all because of money. Maybe Zhu Xianhai has become Urquiza’s guest and a new rich man in this city, but so what?
Money can move people's hearts.
In Zhu Xianhai's hands, Hailun Pharmacy is "like a child carrying a fortune in a busy city."
What does it mean that a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure?
In the simulation, Mitre had already told him the answer.
At this moment, the results of this simulation were still “in front of his eyes”.
Simulation Experience: The Life of a Pharmacist
Simulation status: Gain wealth and status.
Simulation results: There will always be various accidents on the road of life. As the saying goes, misfortunes often bring blessings. Risks are everywhere. Behind the seemingly brilliant, there may be dangers. Please cherish your life and make rational choices.
…
The system's prompt made Zhu Xianhai frown.
[In this simulation, you will get 1000 experience points. You can choose one of the following three items as a reward for this life simulation.]
[1: Activating primary medicinal chemistry skills]
[II: Elementary Horseback Riding]
Faced with these choices, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
Medicinal chemistry skills?
What skill is this?
This is a symbol of wealth. Just a certain ice and aspirin have allowed him to live in a manor, drive a luxury car, and hug a young model. Thinking about such a life makes people a little excited.
But the problem is that this is the second time he has fallen off a horse!
Beginner riding skills...
In the days when there were no cars, riding skills were a life-saving skill!
Nine out of ten times, life is not as we wish.
Zhu Xianhai said with a long sigh.
"I choose 'one'!"
Suddenly, he felt that there were many more memories in his brain. Many memories related to chemistry and medicine emerged in his mind. At this moment, it seemed as if he had really become a chemist proficient in medicine.
"This... is what I chose?"
Opening his eyes and recalling the extra knowledge, Zhu Xianhai's heart was filled with joy. With this knowledge, it was only a matter of time before he reached the pinnacle of his life.
Big house, young model... everything in the simulation will only get worse. It's okay, I'm in good health. In the simulation, I'm Chentian Dasheng who has fought against a group of little pampered girls without losing!
As for riding!
Fortunately, I am still young and have money - I can definitely teach myself!
And knowledge is priceless.
Well, the wealth that knowledge brings is innumerable.
Big House, Latin Girl…
Don’t think Zhu Xianhai is vulgar. In fact, he never thinks he is so elegant. He is just a superficial vulgar person.
No, we are affected by the environment. Who made this a corrupt and decadent capitalist society?
The speed of corrupting people is so fast that it is really hard to guard against!
…
After criticizing the corruption of capitalist society in his heart, Zhu Xianhai had to think about another issue - the issue of safety!
Rule 1 for travelers: Safety first (first revision)
Adhering to this principle, Zhu Xianhai went to the largest gun store in the city. Like the United States, guns in Argentina were also bought and sold freely at that time. Perhaps, facing the chaotic soldiers, a gun might be useless, but at least having a gun would not mean he would stand and get beaten.
When going out, men must also learn to protect themselves!
Until now, Zhu Xianhai still clearly remembers the helplessness on his face when the unarmed soldiers broke into the manor.
"This is... a Remington Model 1858 revolver?"
In the gun store, looking at the brand new Remington M1858 revolver, Zhu Xianhai's mind flashed with relevant information.
The Remington M1858 revolver has an 8-inch (about 20.31 cm) long octagonal barrel with internal rifling. The entire gun is 36.2 cm long, has 6 chambers on the revolver cylinder, and weighs 1.34 kg.
It has many advantages, especially its sturdiness, which is much stronger than the ordinary Colt revolver. As soon as it was launched, it immediately became one of the most popular pistol weapons.
The reason why these materials emerged in his mind was the "gift" from the system during the last simulation - basic shooting skills. They were not just about the use of weapons, but also included a lot of related knowledge. This was just one of them. However, to his disappointment, they were all weapons of this era. Aren't there any more advanced ones?
Really not, even the models of all weapons stop at 1861.
Is there any other particularity in this?
However, it does not have a metal shell. The revolver itself is the shell. You need to load gunpowder into the chamber, press the bullet, and then install the percussion cap at the end of the revolver. In a word, it is troublesome. If you fire all six shots and fail to kill the opponent, the gun will become scrap metal.
"No metal shells?"
"Metal shell?"
The gun store owner was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the word.
"It's the whole bullet. The gunpowder is packed in a copper cartridge and is integrated with the percussion cap... Never mind. I can't explain it to you."
Looking at the confused face of the gun shop owner, Zhu Xianhai was too tired to explain. Maybe he had never heard of these words. Is n't it like talking to a cow?
At this moment, a weapon suddenly popped up in his mind, and he asked tentatively.
"Do you have any Henry M1860 rifles here ? .44 caliber, a new rifle just launched in the United States today!"
