"Friend from the East!"
The young cowboy turned around, gazing spiritedly at the mountains and rivers before him. "Welcome to this great era!"
"This is the Klondike River Basin in Canada!"
"Right now, the greatest Gold Rush Frenzy in history is unfolding here!"
Liu Di immediately looked in the young cowboy's direction.
