The huge potential rewards did not make Lincoln lose his chill.Quite the opposite, he became even calmer than before.He knew very well that gaining huge rewards would definitely not be an easy task.It didn’t matter if Gunthersfield was an ally or a foe. Lincoln would still need to spend all his effort on trying to obtain them.If Gunthersfield was a friend, Lincoln would need to raise their relationship level through the quest. In other words, the friendlier he got, the higher Lincoln’s chance of getting equipment or skills would be.If Gunthersfield was a foe, things would be much simpler. All Lincoln would need to do was gather enough strength and hope to overpower and defeat him. In other words, kill him and make him drop all his equipment and skills.However, Lincoln was still far from earning the farming equipment he was thinking of.He needed to solve the problem at hand first.Helped by the strong wind, Gunthersfield ’s punch was already within meters from Lincoln.Lincoln d

Another One
When Lincoln offered his help to them, Sister Mony and Gunthersfield each had a different response to his offer."I am grateful for your offer, Detective Lincoln, but this is a private matter. Involving you would only cause unwanted trouble," Sister Mony smiled as she declined Lincoln’s offer."You need to have the right attitude to offer apologies. It’s not something that you can say lightly," Gunthersfield nodded with a smile upon hearing Lincoln’s proposal.He tried to persuade Sister Mony on Lincoln’s behalf."Mony, I kind of like him. He has some good skills and he’s a nice fellow. Besides, you did say that he was the best detective in the city, right? Finding those scoundrels would be a piece of cake for him!" Gunthersfield ’s tone became serious as he spoke, "We have formed a group of men, but those scoundrels are always hiding in the dark. Once they lose their patience though and decide to cause any more trouble... I’ve vowed to never leave this place, and Reek and the others

Disguise
Someone was following him.Lincoln frowned, but he did not stop walking.He was sure of it.His V Rank [Intuition] gave him extraordinary eyesight and hearing. He could predict all incoming danger, especially when someone with malicious intent flashed by. He could not help but get goosebumps.Plus, his Master Level [Undercover] skill already enabled him to familiarize with the ways of approaching enemies without being detected.It was not hard for Lincoln to know if someone was following him. He could tell just by the path he had gone through and easily locate his stalker.Although he was being followed, he did not turn around to inspect the situation.He did not want any unwanted trouble. Instead, he followed his original plan and headed towards the diner not far from his current spot.His mind started to work as he walked quickly.Who was following him?Was it one of the people after the treasure of the Church of Aurora?Or was it a new enemy that this identity had brought?Granted,

To Arms
Lincoln had dinner in Chief Officer Johnny’s office.Two hot dogs, one doughnut and three pieces of fried chicken together with a jug of fresh orange juice.Although he could only use one hand, because the other one was cuffed to the chair, he still gobbled down the food easily.Considering he had been eating fast food for the past three years, the food before him was like a gourmet meal."It tastes just like real food!"When he finished the last drop of orange juice, he savored the sweetness and sourness on his taste buds, and squinted his eyes.The meal only removed the [Hunger] debuff."Was that also a newbie advantage?"The answer was obvious.He regretted that he had not been able to bring canned food and water from the System world, although he had managed to bring both rocket launchers.Never underestimate a man’s stinginess.Just as Lincoln placed the jug back on the table, the door opened.Johnny entered, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and tossed Lincoln the keys.It was c

To Arms
Lincoln’s eyes were filled with killer’s intent.If someone wanted to kill him, then he would retaliate in full force.Johnny had interfered before and prevented him from doing anything.Now though?He would never have imagined that there would be such trouble."What a freaky coincidence!" Lincoln smiled as he looked at the young policeman. "I bet you guys could use some help. Tell me, where is the fight taking place?" Lincoln asked straightforwardly."Near the train station. You will know it when you get there! But you’ll have to be careful, they’re armed with guns and explosives!"Carl knew what Lincoln was capable of, so he did not turn down his offer to help. He just gave Lincoln a courtesy warning before quickly running off to catch up with Johnny.[Sub Mission Unlocked: Crazy Marx][Sub Mission: Marx was forced into despair after wrongfully underestimating you, but he will certainly not go down easy! You have chosen to be on the side of the police, so you should be hurrying to t

Brother in Arms
Bang! Bang! Bang!As Lincoln came out of his cover, gunshots were fired from the roof once again.In the darkness of the night, Lincoln moved like a cat, all swift hands and fast legs.The bullets missed him and hit the ground, splattering waves of dirt and sand. They looked like animals trailing behind Lincoln, unable to catch him.His III Rank Agility, Master Level [Evading] and special effect [Master of Swift Steps] were more than effective against a bunch of thugs with poor shooting skills. Lincoln avoided the incoming bullets as if he was dancing a waltz.Everyone was in awe of him. He quickly pulled the fallen policeman up and rolled away. Soon he was back behind the cover, where Cooper was."He needs a medic!"Lincoln delivered the wounded policeman to his comrades. The man looked at Lincoln with grateful eyes and smiled.Lincoln would save anyone on the team if it was within his power."Tha.. Thank you!" Cooper said with a stutter.Before Lincoln could reply, Cooper turned aro

Explosives?
Lincoln was crawling, struggling to get to his feet. He felt like his body had been broken into pieces. Although he had tried his hardest to put a long distance between him and the explosion, he had still been caught in the shockwave and sent flying.He felt like all his joints had been dislocated, and his HP had dropped by about 50 points.If it was not for his III Rank [Constitution] and his 200 HP, that shockwave alone may have gotten him into [Moderately Wounded] status.It had all been worth it, though. Lincoln took a deep breath and checked his mission bar.[Sub Mission: Crazy Marx (Completed)]Lincoln had never even seen the guy. The underground gangster boss had died in the explosion."Lincoln! Lincoln!"A series of cheers came from afar.Lincoln managed to get up on wobbly feet. He waved at Cooper, who was coming for him, signaling that he was okay."You crazy son of a bitch!" the Deputy said honestly before he sent two of his men to help Lincoln down from the roof.The men d

Plan
Lincoln believed that there were things that he foresee, and so did Johnny.Johnny might know better than him too.After all, Lincoln had just arrived at this place, and he was just a detective, while Johnny was a native. He was of a higher status and held a more important position among the citizens.Natives. That’s what Evilgenius had said that the other veterans had nicknamed the Locals of the system.Apparently, it was because of the realism of the characters.Lincoln was fine with that nickname. Although he was not quite used to it, but he believed that the realism would eventually grow on him."What should I do?" Johnny redirected the question at Lincoln, but Lincoln did not need an answer anymore.Johnny had been hiding his rage under that rugged look of his, but he was done doing that.Although the Chief Officer had kept silent before, that still did not mean that he was going to back down.He still had a sense of justice, and he would never allow such things to happen."Those

Silent
It was midnight at the St. PatrickSchool.Sister Mony had sent Lincoln outside the church and asked him to board her personal horse wagon. The wagoner was Security Captain Reed.Reed seemed very unwilling to serve Lincoln, but he could not disobey Sister Mony’s order.He just wanted the task to end quickly. As soon as Lincoln had gotten on the wagon, Reek swinged the whip in his hand.With a clear noise, the horse wagon started to move, slowly disappearing into the night fog.When it was out of sight, Sister Mony turned around and went back inside the church.Her Guardian Knight was hiding behind the shadows of the candles, remaining vigilant.After ten seconds, Guntherfield came out of the shadows."Just as Lincoln said, those scoundrels have been spying on the school the entire time. They might have used binoculars with extra long vision or night vision. Those scoundrels sure are bold!" Guntherfield shrugged coldly after he finished his words."Now their attention must be directed a

Confirm
The possibility of acquiring a Skill Book had sparked Lincoln’s interest, but he had not forgotten his original goal.He used a rope to tie the invader onto a chair, and then got a mug of cold water from the bathroom and splashed it onto his face.The cold water woke the invader up in an instant. His mouth was stuffed with the cover he had been wearing, so he could not scream. He could only make awkward sounds.Considering they were not in the middle of nowhere, Lincoln did not want to attract the attention of the neighbours.The invader opened his eyes wide and looked at Lincoln blankly.Lincoln did not explain why he had knocked him out."Who else is with you? Where are the others?" he got straight to the point.Then he took the dagger and pressed it against the invader’s left pointing finger, cutting a line into it. He had left the invader’s hands purposely untied so he could use his interrogation method on him. After Lincoln had cut the finger, he removed the gag from the invader’
