After a brief thought, Lawrence naturally chose Samurai Muscle. Because this is the only one among the four options that can improve combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
After losing his life in an attack, Lawrence desperately hoped to improve his combat effectiveness. Because this world is much more dangerous than the one he lived in in his previous life, and he now has no more life to waste.
After silently reciting his options, the four flowers changed at the same time. Three of them quickly withered and disappeared, while the selected one quickly matured and turned into a cherry-sized yellow flower wrapped in gray mist.
The fruit then fell into his outstretched hand.
But it was different from what he imagined. This fruit did not sit quietly in his hand. Instead, it sank into his hand and disappeared the moment it touched his palm.
In an instant, a large number of memories were poured into his mind. Lawrence saw how this Greek named Patrodotus learned how to make pottery with his father since he was a child, and then got married, had children, served in the army, and
The overall experience of inheriting his father's shop and eventually passing away in a plague.
It's just that most of the memories seem to be in the clouds and cannot be seen clearly at all. Only the parts related to exercise appear very clear.
In just a few minutes, these memories were completely absorbed by Lawrence. At this time, he opened his eyes and looked at the hand over and over. There was nothing on it. But he could feel the changes in his body.
, this fruit should become part of your own strength.
"It seems that I have to work hard to save money in the future." Lawrence muttered and returned silently. When he opened his eyes again, he had left the magical space he named Jianmu Space and returned to the bed in the bedroom.
Originally, he wanted to check his body to see what the talent he had acquired had brought to him. But at this time, a wave of sleepiness came over him, and he quickly fell asleep.
After he fell asleep, the talent he had just acquired was activated. Gentle power overflowed from his eyebrows little by little, and then began to swim throughout his body.
With the flow of this energy, Lawrence's muscle fibers began to become thicker, his bones became tougher than before, and even his cardiopulmonary function became stronger.
This energy just traveled around the body in circles, and it wasn't until dawn that the energy was completely absorbed into the body and disappeared.
The long night slowly passed, and the sun jumped out from below the sea level. The golden light enveloped the entire city, and Eagle Castle came to life again. The gas lamps on the roadside were extinguished one by one, and people who were going to work in the morning crowded into the streets.
, filling the road with noise.
"Lawrence, Lawrence, it's time for you to get up. A few days ago, you asked me to remind you that your professor has something to do with you today." Aunt Susan's wake-up call sounded at the door of the attic, accompanied by her knocking on the door.
.
The knock on the door woke Lawrence up. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that at the graduation ceremony three days ago, his tutor, Professor Black, told him to go to school today and said that he had some good things to do with him. In addition, he has been very busy recently.
Maybe I have to follow my adoptive father's instructions to receive my playmate who also recently graduated and returned to the Federation.
"Thank you, Aunt Susan, I'll get up now." Thinking of this, Lawrence raised his hands to cover his face from the sunlight shining through the dusty skylight glass and shouted, then he supported the bed board with both hands and climbed up.
"Eh!" Only then did Lawrence notice the changes in his body through the sunlight. He remembered that when he took a shower yesterday, he found that his body lacked exercise as in his previous life, and the muscles in his arms were loose. But now, he was pleasantly surprised
I found that the muscles of my arms stood out after a little exertion.
"It seems that the effect of yesterday's strengthening was really good, but it's a pity that there are not many opportunities like this." Lawrence said after carefully checking his body. He knew that his silver coins yesterday did not have much effect. What is really valuable is the money given by his adoptive father.
His protective button. Unfortunately, even this simple magic prop is not accessible to ordinary people.
After sighing with emotion, he quickly washed up and went to the cupboard to start taking out clothes. Fortunately, the clothes he asked the female owner of the tavern to wash after falling into the sewer yesterday were just a blouse and corduroy pants that he wears on weekdays.
As for preventing me from meeting 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 jacket appeared in the mirror behind the washstand. It might be some kind of illusion. Lawrence felt that he looked much more handsome in the mirror than he did yesterday.
Less, and more masculine.
"Okay, let's go!" After sorting out the wrinkles on his body, Lawrence put on his bowler hat and went straight to the bar downstairs.
At this time, Aunt Susan was cleaning up the mess left by some workers on the morning shift after finishing breakfast. After hearing the noise on the stairs, she turned around and looked at Lawrence and said: "Good morning, our college students, there is oatmeal and cheese this morning.
, bread and boiled eggs, what would you like to eat?"
"I want them all, and they have to be for three people." Lawrence said, taking out two ten-cent coins and handing them over, "You better hurry up, I'm almost starving."
"Ha, this is right. Young people like you can have a good body if you can eat." As she said this, Aunt Susan walked to the back kitchen carrying the used tableware. Ten minutes later, she carried a full
A plate of food was placed on the table in front of Lawrence.
Seeing him wolfing down his breakfast, Aunt Susan hesitated and said, "By the way, have you offended someone recently?"
"No, why did you say that?" After receiving Lawrence's original memory, he found that he used to be a shy young man, and his experience of growing up in the church made him kind to others and had a good temper. So in
In the past few years in college, he didn't have any enemies. On the contrary, he got along well with everyone and made a few friends. So he didn't know why Aunt Susan asked this.
Looking at Lawrence's blank face, Aunt Susan explained: "Boss Jack came here for dinner this morning. He specifically told me that his men definitely did not attack you yesterday."
"That's right, I believe him." Lawrence said after clearing the food in his mouth. Jack is the gang leader in this area, and he usually does things like collecting protection fees or pimping. Apart from that,
, he has neither the courage nor the ability to do anything else.
As a college student of this era, Lawrence is definitely not something that a gangster boss like Jack would dare to mess with, especially if he kills him for more than 20 yuan. After all, once such a thing is discovered, someone like Jack will
There will definitely be no good end for sitting on the ground.
Not to mention that Lawrence has been using his professional skills to treat people around him at cost since he lived here and accumulated a lot of contacts. Many people nearby owe him favors. Therefore, no one nearby is willing to take the risk of causing public outrage.
Attack on Lawrence.
"But Jack asked me to tell you that one of his men noticed two strange young men walking out of the alley where you were attacked yesterday. One of them was wearing a badly worn bowler hat."
"Bowler hat?" Lawrence frowned slightly, and he realized that something was wrong. Because the people living around were workers who only wore one kind of felt hat. And bowler hats belonged to the middle class in society.
Unique clothing that workers generally would not wear.
"I thought it was just a simple robbery, but now it seems there is something more hidden behind it." Lawrence frowned and thought as he was about to push out the door after breakfast. "We still need to find a way to investigate this matter.
Suddenly, an enemy hiding in the dark is too dangerous."
