After staying at the temporary camp for a few days and confirming the arrival time of the train,
Dutch prepared to take the gang members ahead to scout.
But Hosea, the gang's strategist, had some different opinions.
Because according to the robbery info from the O'Driscolls, the owner of this train was not an unknown person.
But a big capitalist named Cornwall.
'Why are we doing this?'
'The weather's good, we could move on.'
'I thought we were going to keep a low profile.'
Looking at Hosea, Dutch prepared the horses and replied: "What do you want me to do, Hosea?"
'I just don't want more people to die, Dutch,' Hosea said.
'We didn't die, Hosea, we didn't die... Look at me, I didn't die, you didn't die, but we need money, everything we have is in Blackwater, do you want to go back there?' Dutch patted Hosea on the shoulder, then sighed, pointing in the direction of Blackwater.
Hearing Dutch's words, Hosea was silent and shook his head.
'But... listen, Dutch, I'm not trying to undermine you, I just... I just want to stick to the plan... which is to be low-key and go back west.'
'But now we're going to rob a train. Cornwall is not someone to mess with. He's a successful railroad tycoon, a sugar merchant, an oil boss.'
'Sounds like he has a lot to share.' Dutch nodded, agreeing.
Obviously, Hosea at the camp didn't think robbing the train was a good idea.
Especially since the train belonged to a big capitalist.
But Dutch said he didn't need to worry about it at all, and that they were in a very difficult situation right now.
Because they really needed some money now, so after chatting for a bit, Dutch still took Arthur and the other gang members to the valley for scouting.
Scouted ahead, put on masks, installed the detonator trap, and waited for the train to come.
Obviously, this wasn't the first time the Van der Linde gang had robbed a train. Everyone had a clear role and performed their duties.
It's just that things don't always go as planned. Dutch's original plan was for everyone to use the detonator to blow up the tracks before the train arrived, forcing the train to stop, so they could rob what they wanted from the train.
But when the train came, an accident happened and the detonator malfunctioned.
So, they had no choice but to jump onto the train directly from the bridge.
"Oh my god, this is too crazy!"
In VR mode, especially jumping from the bridge onto the train, the scene made Jimmy's feet a little weak.
The train robbery went very smoothly. Arthur and the others found many bonds inside the train.
These bonds were unregistered and welcomed in the black market, and could be sold at any time.
This harvest made Dutch very satisfied. After staying at the temporary camp in the snowy mountains for a while, when the temperature warmed up and the snow began to melt, Dutch immediately ordered everyone to pack their bags and start moving southeast.
At Hosea's suggestion, they were heading to a place called Horseshoe Overlook, near a livestock town called Valentine.
The weather became warmer and warmer along the way. Without the bounty hunters from Blackwater after them, everyone in the gang felt a lot more relaxed.
Driving the wagon along the way, with the melody of the background music 'See The Fire In Your Eyes' echoing in his ears, Jimmy felt as relaxed as the partners in the Van der Linde gang.
In the woods at Horseshoe Overlook, they found a clearing with a wide view and set up camp.
Here, they could take a break for a while and save some more money to get through the difficult times.
"We're here, just need to save some more money, and we can leave."
"Go west, buy some land!"
After robbing the train and arriving at a new place, Dutch's eyes lit up and he began to strongly urge everyone in the gang to make money.
Save money and leave here, everyone go west to buy land, retire and farm.
Seeing Dutch regaining his spirits, Arthur at the camp was also very happy, and took out his diary to start writing.
And at this time, the game officially opened a free exploration mode.
Able to roam freely on the big map.
After arriving in Valentine, a new world was completely revealed to Jimmy.
If the content in the snowy mountains before hadn't made Jimmy feel anything,
Then coming to this town could be said to have given him a full sense of shock.
Wooden buildings, muddy streets after the rain, pedestrians, horses, carriages on the street, and a saloon with wooden doors.
There were also cowboys drinking in the saloon, as well as a post office and train station.
There were newspaper boys selling newspapers on the street. After buying a newspaper, you could also see the news of their train robbery not long ago.
Looking at everything around him, combined with the previous game experience, Jimmy was immediately conquered.
At this time, he had forgotten the feeling that "Beautiful World" had given him before.
Now, "Red Dead Redemption" was showing the Wild West world he had always imagined.
The main and side quests in the Valentine area are very spread out.
The design concept is mainly to let players understand the world view and get familiar with the gameplay of the game's open world.
Jimmy, as a player, obviously didn't know the cleverness of the design of these mechanisms and tasks.
Moreover, there was so much to play that, from two o'clock in the afternoon to six o'clock in the evening, he had only cleared the prologue, and he hadn't even had time to explore this livestock town of Valentine.
Jimmy quit the game and prepared to order takeout for himself, but before ordering takeout, he first opened the chat group.
At this time, many people in the chat group were chatting.
As for the topic, it was naturally "Red Dead Redemption" and "Beautiful World".
At this time, Jimmy spoke in the group.
'Highly recommend "Red Dead Redemption", it's just too shocking!'
Along with Jimmy's words, a group of people immediately exploded.
'Same here, I watched the live broadcast, this is the Wild West world I imagined!'
'+1, too shocking, the various game details are just maxed out.'
'And the Dead Eye system, it's so cool to duel with people on the street!'
A group of people in the chat group were talking about the content of "Red Dead Redemption".
Although not everyone played it right away, after all, there were game live broadcasts.
So basically, many players who are currently paying attention to this game have a preliminary impression of it.
At the same time, some people in the chat group were teasing Jimmy.
'By the way, Jimmy, didn't you say before that "Red Dead Redemption" might not be better than "Beautiful World"?'
Many other people also joined in the fun, but Jimmy was not angry, and just sent a sentence.
'"Beautiful World"? What game is that? Tell it not to come looking for me, I'm afraid Nebula Games will misunderstand.'
After sending it, Jimmy started ordering takeout.
