Rumbling...

On the long railway, a train painted entirely black was speeding along.

Black smoke continuously spewed from the chimney of the locomotive.

In one of the passenger carriages, a young man with black hair, sitting in the last row on the right side, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes!

The young man had a well-defined face, fair skin, and a pair of deep, black eyes.

Upon waking, he immediately looked around.

When he saw the scattered passengers and the mountain scenery passing by outside the window, he instantly realized he was on a moving train.

Notably, the passengers' attire was somewhat... vintage.

Female passengers were all wearing light-colored dresses in a Lolita style, while male passengers were mostly dressed in suits and hats, looking like gentlemen.

He then looked down at his own attire and found himself wearing a white shirt and a black jacket over it.

On his feet were a pair of boots that resembled riding boots.

His eyebrows slightly raised, the young man silently called out in his mind:

"System!"

The next second, a sudden change occurred!

A transparent blue screen appeared in front of the young man:

[Current World: Red Dead Redemption 2]

[World Progress: 0%]

Looking at the blue screen and the text on it, the young man showed no surprise on his face but instead a look of understanding:

"So, it's the world of Big Brother..."

However, just as the young man was observing the other passengers in the carriage, seemingly confirming his location, several gunshots suddenly rang out from outside the window!

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw four bandits, their faces half-covered, riding horses and holding revolvers, charging towards the side of the train!

For a moment, the passengers in the carriage fell into chaos.

Curses and prayers echoed in his ears.

"It's bandits!"

"Oh my God!"

"Damn it!"

At that moment, the young man blinked his eyes and suddenly understood the feelings of Mr. Tang.

Just after arriving in this world and enjoying the scenery, he was suddenly robbed by bandits!

Who could he complain to about this?!

These bandits seemed very experienced.

They easily caught up with the slow-moving train and climbed onto the moving passenger carriage through the connections between the carriages.

Bang!

With a gunshot, a bandit leader, his lower face covered by a black mask, stood at the carriage door, holding a revolver and warning everyone in a hoarse, deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a robbery!"

"Everyone, put your money, jewelry, and all valuables into the bags!"

"Stay calm, and no one will get hurt!"

The robbery was carried out with great skill. Two bandits controlled the scene with their guns, while the other two masked bandits took out two cloth bags and began collecting valuables from the passengers on both sides of the aisle.

However, unlike the other passengers, who were panicked and tightly clutching their valuables, the young man sitting in the last row raised his eyebrows and showed a mysterious smile!

He was not a madman or a masochist.

It was because a cold, mechanical voice sounded in his mind at the right time:

[Triggered Side Quest: Eye for an Eye!]

[Quest Content: In the Wild West, the strong rule.]

[Quest Requirement: Protect yourself from being robbed!]

[Quest Success Reward: Schofield Revolver!]

[Quest Failure Punishment: Run naked around Valentine!]

Clearly, this young man was not from this world.

His real name was Luo Xia.

A 25-year-old ordinary single young man from China, who didn't drink, smoke, or party.

But what set him apart from others was that he had a system!

...

It was an accident.

When Luo Xia was riding his newly bought motorcycle, he was hit by a suddenly appearing dump truck and thrown off.

Lying on the cold operating table, with his consciousness fading, Luo Xia faintly felt death approaching, gently touching his hair.

And at that moment, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

[Detected suitable new host!]

[System loading...]

[Quest triggered!]

[Quest Requirement: Do you accept the Multiverse Task System and become the new host?]

[Quest Success Reward: Life. Quest Failure Punishment: Death!]

Faced with these two choices, Luo Xia, unwilling to die, did not hesitate to choose the former!

This decision added a Multiverse Game System to Luo Xia's mind, allowing him to travel through time and enter various game worlds!

When he woke up again, Luo Xia found himself in a strange world.

And the self who was on the brink of death due to the car accident was now unharmed!

As for why he was transported to a game world instead of another world, Luo Xia didn't know.

Perhaps the system in his mind also knew he was a hardcore gamer...

He only knew that by traveling to different worlds and completing various tasks issued by the system, he would receive various rewards.

[Red Dead Redemption 2] was the second game world he was about to experience!

With a thought, the text on the transparent screen suddenly changed to a character panel:

[Host: Luo Xia]

[Talent: Language Proficiency]

[Attributes: Spirit F, Constitution E, Strength F, Agility E]

[Skills: C-level Firearms Proficiency, E-level Krav Maga]

[Items: Michael De Santa Character Card (Unique), Tactical Glock 18 (Expert)]

Initially, all four attributes were at level F.

Through long-term training in the world, Luo Xia had improved his Constitution and Agility to level E.

Among these, besides the [Language Proficiency] talent given by the system and the E-level Krav Maga learned from a former SAS air trooper, the skills and items, including firearms proficiency, the Michael De Santa character card, and the Tactical Glock 18, were all rewards he had obtained from completing various tasks in the previous world!

Exiting the system interface, Luo Xia looked at the bandit approaching him, his lips first secretly curling up, then quickly changing to a panicked expression.

When the masked bandit holding the cloth bag came to him, Luo Xia's expression became even more fearful.

This made the bandit even more impressed by his leader's wisdom.

The leader was right; these guys were all cowards. As long as they were scared with a gunshot, they wouldn't dare to resist...

"Kid, relax, put your valuables in here!"

"Okay..."

Nodding fearfully, Luo Xia then reached into his jacket and pulled out a black Glock 18 pistol with a silencer from the [System Space]!

Aiming the gun at the bandit in front of him, Luo Xia then showed a radiant smile:

"Did you mean this?"
