Chapter 4 The Hook of the Groove Literature is Still Chasing Me

"Did we travel to another time or just move to a different planet?"

Li Ang never expected that the Traveler would directly transport him from the interstellar era to the Republic of China?

Although the architectural style in front of him closely matched his impression of the Republic of China era, he did not dare to make a decision immediately.

Li Ang looked down at his body, and after confirming that he had only brought a plain white prison uniform, he began to think about how to find a place to stay.

There's definitely no money.

"Seems like...he's rich?"

Looking at his prison uniform, Li Ang immediately made up his mind.

Although this thing would be something even dogs wouldn't wear in the previous interstellar world, everything depends on the context of the times.

Look at the impeccable needlework and the soft, smooth fabric that looks like it's made of high-quality material. If Li Ang says this is a high-end garment, who would dare to disagree?
With that thought in mind, Li Ang made a decision and went straight to the steamed bun shop by the roadside to ask, "Master, I have a question for you. Do you know where the nearest pawnshop is?"

Upon hearing his voice, the steamed bun shop owner, who was kneading dough with his head down, neither looked up nor responded, but simply continued with his work.

Li Ang wanted to buy a steamed bun to ask for directions, but he was short of money, so he could only shamelessly ask repeatedly for directions to the pawnshop.

Seemingly annoyed by him, the steamed bun shop owner looked up impatiently and casually pointed east: "Turn right after two streets, and you'll see it."

"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss."

Li Ang was not angry at the steamed bun shop owner's attitude. After sincerely thanking him, he walked in the direction the owner pointed.

Not long after he left, several filthy beggars on the street looked up, exchanged glances, and then silently followed him.

Seeing this, the steamed bun shop owner couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "Another spendthrift son destined for misfortune."

"This wretched world."

On the other side, Li Ang followed the directions given by the steamed bun shop owner and indeed found the pawnshop, saving him the trouble of going back and punching the owner.

As soon as Li Ang stepped into the pawnshop, the shopkeeper behind the counter's eyes lit up, and then a perfectly timed smile appeared on his face: "What would this young master like to pawn?"

Li Ang didn't bother to correct the other person's form of address. He pointed to his prison uniform and said, "How much do you think this uniform is worth?"

"?" Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper was taken aback, then poked his head out from behind the counter and began to look Li Ang up and down. "Young Master, you're not joking, are you?"

Having been a shopkeeper for so many years, he could naturally tell that the young man's clothes were of superior quality, without a single blemish, and were made of rare, fine material.

At this moment, Li Ang nodded, then quickly took off his shirt and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Take a look, see how much it can be pawned for."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper didn't say anything more, but quietly stroked the pure white shirt in his hand.

After a moment, he asked, "Young master, is this the only shirt you're willing to buy?"

"If I pawn my pants too, how much money will I get?" Li Ang didn't answer, but asked in return.

"One silver dollar."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang immediately took off his pants, leaving only his underwear: "Okay, but you have to give me a set of clothes, anything will do."

He knew, of course, that the pawnshop's offer was outrageous, but he wasn't in the mood to haggle anymore. After all, he needed to find a way to survive after returning to his previous world as soon as possible.

The pawnshop owner readily agreed to Li Ang's request and quickly handed him a pawn ticket, a set of coarse linen clothes, and a silver dollar.

After putting on the somewhat uncomfortable clothes, Li Ang turned and walked out of the pawnshop, intending to find a shop to eat something to stave off his hunger. He was really getting tired of eating 'Note 10' every day.

But before Li Ang could take more than a few steps, his path was blocked.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the two beggars in front of him and asked, "What can I do for you, brothers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ang turned and ran. He wasn't stupid; he knew that the other party had ill intentions.

But he stopped in his tracks as soon as he turned around, because two beggars were staring at him menacingly from behind.

Just then, a voice came from behind him: "You brat, hand over the money you just got, and then have some fun with us, and we'll let you go."

To be honest, Li Ang didn't feel anything when he heard the first half of the sentence.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, he laughed in anger. If it were some fair-skinned, beautiful, curvy, and wealthy woman who said that, it would be one thing, but a beggar.
Get out of my way!
Thinking of this, Li Ang was filled with rage and malice, and immediately turned around and pounced on the beggar who had spoken.

The sudden turn of events left the remaining three beggars stunned, watching helplessly as the fair-skinned youth tackled their leader.

After knocking down the talking beggar, Li Ang straddled him and began to beat him on the head with both fists as if he were doing nothing.

"Want to have some fun, huh?"

I'll make you feel amazing!

The three beggars who were stunned in place had also reacted and immediately wanted to step forward to stop Li Ang from beating their leader.

But a group of beggars with skinny arms and legs couldn't possibly pull Li Ang, whose physical strength had now reached 1.3 thanks to the [Prisoner] buff.

Although Li Ang had never been in a fight, he knew that in the current situation, it was enough to hurt just one person, since a group of beggars could hardly have any discipline.

He ignored the attacks from the three beggars beside him and gripped the neck of the beggar beneath him tightly with both hands.

Finally, after seeing their leader's face turn bright red, looking as if he was about to be strangled, a sense of fear quietly rose in the hearts of the three beggars.

They never expected that Li Ang, who looked so fair and delicate, would fight so recklessly.

The three beggars exchanged a glance, then took off running.

Noticing their departure, Li Ang released his hands, looked at the beggar whose eyes were almost bulging out, and said fiercely, "Now you answer whatever I ask."

"do you understand?"

At this moment, Li Ang felt a mixture of relief and lingering fear.

If he hadn't spent some time in prison, he probably wouldn't have been able to act so decisively and ruthlessly today.

Do you really think everyone in prison is a nice guy?

However, Li Ang didn't feel guilty. He didn't believe that the beggars were telling the truth when they said they would release him after they had said all that.

If he is powerless to resist, he will likely only face the fate of selling his hooks.

Feeling the pain emanating from his body from time to time, Li Ang couldn't help but think to himself, "If the 0.2 physical strength bonus from a bottom-tier class like [Prisoner] is so significant, how overpowered must other top-tier classes be?"

"Luckily, there are no restrictions in my occupation field, so I need to quickly get some useful information out of them."

Thinking of this, Li Ang immediately began to torture the beggar beneath him.
