Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 After a brief thought, Lawrence naturally chose the samurai muscle. Because this is the only one among the four options that can improve combat effectiveness in a short time.

　　 After being attacked and losing his life, Lawrence desperately hopes to improve his combat effectiveness. Because this world is much more dangerous than the one in his previous life, and now he has no other life to squander.

After 　　 meditated on his choice, the four flowers changed at the same time. Three of them quickly withered and disappeared, while the selected one quickly matured into a yellow fruit the size of a gray misty cherry, and then fell into his outstretched palm.

　　 It's just different from what I imagined. This fruit didn't sit quietly in his hand, but disappeared into his hand the moment it touched his palm.

　　 For an instant, a lot of memories were instilled in his mind. Lawrence saw how this Greek named Patronus learned how to make pottery together with his father from a young age, then married, had children, served in the army, inherited his father’s shop, and finally died in a plague. Overall experience.

　　 It’s just that most of the memories are as if they are in the clouds, and they are not clear at all. Only the parts related to exercise are very clear.

　　 In just a few minutes, these memories were completely absorbed by Lawrence. At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at that hand over and over again. There was nothing in his hand. But he could feel a change in his body, and this fruit should become a part of his strength.

　　 "It seems that I will work hard to save money in the future." Lawrence murmured and returned silently. After opening his eyes again, he had left the magical space that he named Jianmu Space and returned to the bedroom bed.

　　 Originally, he wanted to check his body to see what the talent he obtained brought him. But at this time, a burst of sleepiness struck his mind, and he soon fell asleep.

　　 After he fell asleep, the talent he had just obtained was activated. The gentle power spilled out from the center of his eyebrows, and then began to wander through his body.

　　 With the flow of this energy, Lawrence's muscle fibers began to grow stronger, his bones became tougher than before, and even his cardiopulmonary function became stronger.

　　 This energy wanders around the body in circles like this, and it is not until dawn that this energy is completely absorbed into the body and disappears.

　　 The long night slowly passed, and the sun jumped out from below the sea level. The golden light enveloped the whole city, and Eagle Castle came back to life again. The gas lamps on the side of the road went out one by one, and people who were going to work in the morning crowded the street, making the road full of noise.

"Lawrence, Lawrence, it's time for you to get up. The other day you asked me to remind you that your professor is looking for you today." Aunt Susan's wake up sounded from the door of the attic, accompanied by her knocking on the door. .

　　 The knock on the door awakened Lawrence. At this time, he suddenly thought that his tutor, Professor Black, at the graduation ceremony three days ago, told him to go to school today, saying that he had some good things to look for. In addition, recently, he is likely to have to accept the playmate who also recently graduated and returned to the Commonwealth according to the instructions of his adoptive father.

　　 "Thank you, Aunt Susan, I will get up now." Thinking of this, Lawrence raised his hand to cover the sunlight shining on his face through the dusty skylight glass, and then he climbed up to support the bed.

　　 "Huh!" Lawrence discovered the changes in his body through the sunlight at this time. I remember that when he took a bath yesterday, he found that his body was a little lacking in movement like the previous life, and the muscles on his arms were loose. But now, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his arm showed muscles after a little effort.

　　 "It looks like the effect of strengthening yesterday was really good, but unfortunately there are not many opportunities like this." Lawrence said after carefully inspecting his body. He knew that his silver coin yesterday didn't have much effect, and that the protective button given to him by his adoptive father was really valuable. It's a pity that even this simple magic item is not something ordinary people can get.

　　 After sighing, he quickly finished washing and went to the cupboard to pick up clothes. Fortunately, the clothes that I asked the tavern boss to wash after I fell into the waterway yesterday are just the blouses and corduroy pants I wear on weekdays, which won't hinder my visit to the professor today.

Soon, the image of a young man wearing a pair of black trousers, a waistcoat of the same color and a woolen coat appeared in the mirror behind the basin shelf. It may be an illusion. Lawrence felt that he in the mirror was more handsome than yesterday. Less, and more masculine.

　　 "Okay, let's go!" After sorting out the folds on his body, Lawrence put on his bowler hat and went straight to the bar downstairs.

Aunt Susan was cleaning up some of the mess left by the morning workers after breakfast. After hearing the sound of the stairs, she turned and looked at Lawrence and said, "Good morning, our college student, this morning we have oatmeal and cheese. , Bread and boiled eggs, what would you like to eat?"

　　 "It's all, and it's for three people." Lawrence took out two ten-ten coins and handed them over, "Better hurry up, I'm almost hungry."

"Ha, that's right. Young people like you can eat to have a good health." As Aunt Susan walked back to the kitchen with the used utensils, ten minutes later, she was full A plate of things was placed on the table in front of Lawrence.

　　 Seeing him devouring his breakfast, Aunt Susan hesitated and said, "By the way, have you offended someone recently?"

　　 "No, why do you say that?" After receiving Lawrence's original memory, he found that he used to be a shy young man, and the experience of growing up in the church made him treat people kindly and have a good temper. So in the past few years in university, he has no enemies, but has been doing well with everyone and made a few friends. So he didn't know why Aunt Susan asked that.

　　Looking at Lawrence’s blank face, UU reading www.uukanshu. Aunt Susan explained: "Boss Jack came here for dinner this morning. He specifically told me that his men never attacked you yesterday."

　　 "That's it, I believe him." Lawrence emptied the food in his mouth and said that Jack is the gang leader in this area, and he does things like collecting protection fees or pimping. Apart from that, he has no guts and the ability to do other things.

　　 And Lawrence, as a college student of this era, is definitely not a bully boss like Jack that dares to provoke him, especially for the sake of more than 20 yuan to kill him. After all, once such a thing is discovered, a squatter like Jack will certainly not end well.

　　 Not to mention that Lawrence has been using his professional skills to help the people around him with cost-effective treatment to accumulate a lot of contacts since he lived here. Many people nearby are owed to others. So no one nearby would be willing to attack Lawrence at the risk of angering the public.

　　 "But Jack asked me to tell you that one of his men had noticed yesterday that two strange young men came out of the alley where you were attacked. One of them was wearing a bowler hat that was a little badly worn."

　　 "Bowler hat?" Lawrence frowned slightly, he realized something was wrong. Because the people living around are all workers, they only wear a kind of felt hat. The bowler hat belongs to the unique clothing of the middle class in the society, and workers generally do not wear it.

　　 "I thought it was a simple robbery, but now it seems that there is more hidden behind it." Lawrence thought with a frown when he was about to push the door after breakfast. "I still need to find a way to investigate this matter. An enemy hidden in the dark is too dangerous."
