The panel was that simple, with only four items.
Zhang Tianyuan thought, "Henry it is. Since I've already transmigrated, I should get used to my new identity early. From now on, I am Henry Bruce."
Zhang Tianyuan, who had been a mercenary for over three years, felt that one of his greatest improvements was learning to adapt to circumstances.
No matter what, live!
Living well is the first priority!
As for the purpose of living, he would figure it out after surviving.
Constitution LV1 indicated the level of an ordinary Caucasian adult.
Henry's mind focused on the progress bar and the green bead.
The green bead was a Level 3 release bead, equivalent to 10 Level 1 release beads, so the panel was officially activated at Level 1.
To upgrade the panel to Level 2, 100 Level 1 release beads were needed, so the current progress was 1%.
The release bead obtained from releasing Brian was actually Level 3!
This was because his strength, status, reputation, wealth, and other factors combined far exceeded ordinary people.
And that circulating, inexplicable charm was a skill extracted from Brian.
Equivalent to an elite monster in an online game?
Henry felt like he was playing a video game.
Before transmigrating, he enjoyed playing "Wild West Hickok 2," doing whatever he pleased in it.
Sometimes he would transform into a sheriff or bounty hunter, chasing down various criminals; sometimes he would become various villains, creating boundless slaughter; sometimes he would slaughter various beasts like giant wolves and Cougars.
At that time, he always felt that as a modern mercenary, he was a modern African cowboy, similarly wandering in the wilderness, with the same adventures, the same restraints, and the same freedom.
Who would have thought that one day he would actually transmigrate to the vast Western wilderness?
If Arthur truly existed in this world, born in 1863, he should be 17 years old.
But Henry looked around, and everything was so real; he couldn't believe this was just a game.
There was also no prompt indicating that this was the world of "Wild West Hickok 2."
In any case, there's only one life, so caution is paramount.
Henry suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, quickly remounted, and headed towards the three bandits about 100 meters away.
Henry's immediate priority now was to quickly see if there were any other gains.
Brian, for example, was quite generous, holding on until Henry propped up his head before kicking the bucket, contributing a green bead.
In fact, Sheriff Brian had always taken good care of Henry, but Zhang Tianyuan, who had acquired all of Henry's memories, still felt like watching a TV show through a screen.
He felt completely like an unrelated third party, without much emotional fluctuation.
The bandit in the middle, leaning against the hill, looked about thirty years old, with a large hole pierced through the center of his hip, and his chest and abdomen were still slightly rising and falling.
Henry, overjoyed, raised his gun and fired a shot at the heart of this blond, white-skinned man, instantly gaining another vibrant green bead.
11% of the progress bar lit up.
Happy!
Henry rode his horse to the bandit on the right, a dozen meters away, and found that this guy had a large hole in his forehead, definitely dead.
But Henry still reluctantly fired a shot at his chest.
What if there's another surprise?
Henry thought.
However, as the bandit's chest exploded, Henrygained nothing, so he reluctantly rode to the bandit on the other side.
Regardless of the other party's state, Henry fired a shot at the fallen bandit's torso.
Huh?!
He gained a milky white release bead, with an inexplicable charm flowing on it.
This was a Level 2 release bead, and the progress bar advanced by 5%—lighting up 16%.
Henry rode his horse excitedly along the mountain path, circling back and forth, like a pond owner searching for crayfish, loaches, snakeheads, and eels in a nearly dried-up fish pond.
It took more than ten minutes in total, reloading the 15-round capacity rifle twice. Henry fired a shot at all the remaining 40 bandit bodies, gaining another 6 gray beads and 4 white beads, but these beads had no circulating, inexplicable charm.
Later, when he delivered the finishing shots, he deliberately avoided the bandits' heads—it would be a huge loss if there was a bounty and they couldn't be identified.
At this point, the progress bar lit up to 42%.
Henry suddenly noticed a dark gold sphere faintly appearing above the progress bar, with some mysterious patterns on it.
"Why do these patterns look so familiar?" Henrymurmured to himself.
Suddenly, he remembered—he had picked up this dark gold sphere when he passed a destroyed native village during a mission.
He liked it at first sight, and later, after returning to the mercenary city, he had a craftsman set it in an 18K gold necklace as a pendant, which he wore around his neck.
Could his transmigration be due to this sphere?
The more he looked at the sphere, the stronger this feeling became.
Suddenly, he found himself in a circular space.
He inexplicably knew that he was at the center of this sphere, the space had a radius of 1 meter, and this was the interior of the dark gold sphere.
With a thought, Henry's consciousness returned to his body.
Could it be?!
As his mind moved, the Winchester Rifle in his hand disappeared into thin air, appearing inside the dark gold sphere, floating in mid-air.
Henry's mind moved again, and the rifle reappeared in his hands.
Indeed, this was a legendary storage space!
With a radius of 1 meter, its volume was 4.187 cubic meters, which was enough to store a large amount of supplies.
At least it could easily hold the bandits' guns, ammunition, and weapons.
So Henry, like an old farmer harvesting sugarcane stalk by stalk in a field, began to loot the corpses one by one.
"This Elgin gold-filled pocket watch is good, these two double-action Colt M1878 revolvers are also good—both .44-40 caliber, and this Gurkha kukri is nice."
Henry mumbled happily while looting the corpses.
After nearly another hour, Henry finally completed all the looting. All the weapons, money bags, and wallets that could be stripped from the bandits were put into the space by Henry.
There were also some miscellaneous items such as cooking utensils, dry rations, raincoats, overcoats, tinderboxes, and so on.
There were 44 wallets, and among them, the bandit leader who contributed the green bead had a thick stack of 100-us dollar and 50-us dollar bills in his waist bag.
Henry estimated there were at least several thousand us dollars based on the thickness.
The purchasing power of the us dollar at that time was astonishing.
An ordinary worker's weekly wage was 2-3 us dollars, and a monthly wage was about 10 us dollars.
A high-level laborer could earn 5-6 us dollars per week.
If calculated by the price of gold, the purchasing power of 1 us dollar at that time was equivalent to about 29 us dollars in 2024.
However, considering inflation, the actual purchasing power of 1 us dollar was 100-150 times that of 2024.
In other words, just this bandit leader's waist bag contributed the equivalent of 1 million us dollars in 2024 to Henry.
In Henry's memory, bandits on the Frisco police bounty list usually fetched 400-500 us dollars.
Only legendary outlaws who caused a national sensation could reach above 3000 us dollars.
Henry felt that this unknown bandit leader's head must have been messed up to carry such a huge sum of money to ambush enemies.
