"But you don't know the way, and it's full of thugs out there..."

Seeing Connor's worried look, Lu Qi smiled back and comforted him:

"Don't worry, I don't know the way, but I will ask for it. As for the mob gang, I will carefully avoid them."

"Then I'll wait here for your return."

"Ok."

After stroking the boy's head, Lu Qi walked out of the large ward, walked along the corridor, and walked towards the hospital entrance.

Arriving at the entrance of the hospital, he got into a carriage casually. As soon as his butt was glued to the seat, Lu Qi opened his mouth and said to the carriage driver:

"The best hotel in the neighborhood, take me there."

"Okay, sir."

Take the carriage, follow the left side of the road, all the way north.

About 5 minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of a simple yet elegant hotel.

Throwing a silver coin to the coachman, Lu Qi instructed him:

"Wait here for me, I'll be right back."

"Okay, sir."

Walking out of the hotel and coming to the front desk, a middle-aged man in a black suit immediately greeted him with a smile:

"Welcome to Zhongming's House Hotel, sir, do you want to stay or have a meal?"

"I want to rent a double room with you, is there any room?"

"let me see..."

While speaking, the front desk manager lowered his head to check the check-in record, then raised his head quickly, and said to Lu Qi:

"Yes, how long do you plan to rent?"

"Three months!"

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic needs of human beings.

Among the four major needs, Lu Qi has already met three of them.

I already have clothes, although they are not very clean; food is readily available as long as I have money; as for traveling, it is convenient and stylish to call a carriage when I go out!

Only the question of "where to spend the night tonight" remains, unresolved.

Obviously, there was no going back to the shack.

Although Lu Qi didn't intend to let Connor and Alice go back...

The thugs knew Connor, remembered his recognizable face, and were sure to be looking for them on the streets by now.

For the safety of the brothers and sisters, as well as my own safety, finding a temporary residence as soon as possible is the top priority...

Lu Qi's request for renting a room surprised the hotel manager.

After looking at Lu Qi's appearance and clothes, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before saying:

"If you rent for three months at once, we will give you a little discount in terms of price. Sir, are you sure you want to rent?"

"Yes, how much is the total?"

"That would be six shillings, with a one-third down payment in advance..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Lu Qi slapped six silver coins on the table and said domineeringly:

"No, I'll pay in one lump sum."

"Thank you very much for your trust..."

While putting away the silver coins, the hotel manager paused for a while, and then asked, "What should I call you, Your Excellency?"

"Just call me Mars."

"Okay, Mr. Mars."

"By the way, I hope you don't tell anyone that I rented this room, is that okay?"

Seeing Lu Qi's serious face, the hotel manager also put away his smile, and solemnly assured:

"Sir, you have to know that our Zhongming House Hotel has been in business for hundreds of years, and we never disclose any information about our guests!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi nodded in satisfaction:

"That's good, show me the room!"

Chapter 2 Looking for a job, the kind that makes a lot of money at once

The floor where the room is located is on the third floor of the hotel.

The space is neither big nor small, about sixty square meters.

Wooden beams, chandeliers, wooden floors, fireplaces and elegant decorations make Lu Qi feel a strong Victorian style as soon as he enters the room.

The living room, bedroom, bathroom, and the furniture needed for life are also available.

When he came to the window and looked out, Lu Qi could just see the scenery on the street.

"Your Excellency Mars, are you satisfied with this room?"

"Yes, I like this room very much."

Turning around, Lu Qi looked at the hotel manager by the door, and said immediately:

"Well, Mr. Dickinson, I need to wash up. If you can, can you ask the hotel boy to go out and get some clean clothes for me, and prepare some food by the way?"

"Of course! I'd be more than happy to be of your service."

After silently writing down the things Lu Qi needed, and then roughly confirming Lu Qi's body size, the hotel manager immediately said:

"Please wait a moment, I will send someone to do it right away."

"Thank you, you are very friendly."

"This is my honor, and it is also the way of hospitality in this hotel. Your Excellency, Mars, I hope you can spend a good time here..."

"I will."

Stretching out his hand and shaking Lu Qi politely, the hotel manager tactfully exited the room, closing the door behind him, leaving Lu Qi alone.

After a while, the hotel clerk brought two buckets of boiling hot water into the room.

I came to the washroom, took off my clothes, and scrubbed my whole body with hot water. I experienced the characteristic bathing method of the Victorian era.

After he finished washing, only a bath towel was wrapped around his lower body, and when he walked out of the bathroom, he realized that what he asked for had already been placed on the coffee table in the living room.

After changing into clean clothes and a pair of leather boots, and putting on a British-style black windbreaker, the completely new Lu Qi picked up the oily paper bag containing bread, cheese, bacon, and milk, and left the room.

At the door of the hotel, the coachman who had collected the fare in advance had long since disappeared.

Lu Qi didn't care about this, he just hailed another carriage and drove to the hospital...

Back to the hospital, it was already half an hour later.

Hospitals in this era are full of bacteria. In order not to eat all these germs, Lu Qi called Connor to the courtyard of the hospital, found a bench to sit down, and began to enjoy the food.

"No, you can choose what you want to eat."

After taking the oil paper bag and opening it, Connor couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect Lu Qi to buy so much food all at once.

After hesitating for a while, he took out a piece of wheat bread and a small piece of cheese from the bag.

Seeing the cheese sandwiched in the bread and eating it, Lu Qi casually reached into the bag and took out a jar of milk in a glass bottle.

Lifting the lid and handing the milk to the boy, Lu Qi said like a kind elder:

"You are still growing, you need to drink more milk."

Hearing this, Connor, who was like a little squirrel with a puffy mouth, raised his head slightly to look at Lu Qi, then obediently took the milk and drank it in small sips.

Seeing this, Lu Qi nodded in relief, and then began to enjoy his lunch.

While eating wheat bread and bacon from more than 100 years ago, Lu Qi did not forget to ask about the family situation of the two siblings, such as where their parents went, where their hometown is, whether they have any relatives, etc...

Regarding Lu Qi's question, Connor knew everything and said everything.

Connor's full name is Connor Woodburn, while Alice is called Alice Woodburn.

The Woodburn siblings are 12 years old and [-] years old, and their hometown is Southampton, about tens of kilometers away from London.

Their mother died of dystocia when Alice was born.

And their father was a businessman.

A year ago, when I brought my two siblings to London to do business, I was robbed by gang members.

In order to protect the children and goods, their father was accidentally killed, and the two children lost their support and lived on the streets ever since.

In order to support himself and take care of his younger sister, Connor began to wander the streets and became a pickpocket...

Even if he has to pay protection fees to the mob gang every month, he can barely let himself and his sister survive in this city by sneaking around.

However, the younger sister's illness brought the already stretched family into a desperate situation.

"...If it wasn't for your help, Lord Mars, Alice might have already..."

Speaking of which, the young man with his head down couldn't help but suddenly raised his head, stared at Lu Qi closely with those firm eyes, and said very seriously:

"So, I decided that from now on, I will be your servant. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will always be loyal to you!"

Seeing that Connor didn't look like he was joking at all, Lu Qi found it even more amusing.

Stretching out his hand to touch his head, messing up the boy's blond hair again, Lu Qi smiled and said:

"Connor, I don't need a servant, and I don't need you to be loyal to me forever. You're already working for me, forget?"

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help being stunned, his face full of doubts:

"Uh?"

"You are my guide! Your main job is to get me familiar with this city, understand?"

"Understood, Your Excellency Mars!"

"Don't call me that, just call me Alex."

"Okay, Sir Alex!"

Hearing this, the corner of Lu Qi's mouth twitched, and seeing the serious look of the young man, he opened his mouth, but still did not correct his name.

"By the way, the thugs already know where you live, so I rented us a room in a nearby hotel. From now on, you and Alice, live with me!"

Connor, who has already assumed the role of the little follower, nodded directly without any objection:

"Yes, Sir Alex."

Having already experienced Connor's little stubbornness, Lu Qi had no choice but to support his forehead. In order to change the subject, he had to ask:

"By the way, if I want to find a job, what do you think I can do? It's best to make a lot of money at once..."

Although beating the thugs violently, the high-paying job of robbing the rich and helping the poor is very suitable for him.However, before knowing the enemy's power and energy, it is not a wise choice to offend a gang that claims to be the largest in London.

In order to adapt to this strange era and city, live a good life, and take good care of his two brothers and sisters, he needs money.

A large sum of money that can make him and his brother and sister live comfortably!

Hearing Lu Qi's question, Connor lowered his head and thought for a while, as if thinking of something, his eyes lit up, and he said:

"I think you can go to the fighting game!"

Chapter 2: Kill Two Birds With One Stone, Just Do It

Fight match?

This term made Lu Qi instantly think of the underground black boxing that he had participated in when he was in Los Santos.

"Fighting match, do you mean the kind of match where two men fight illegally in the ring with bare hands, and then the audience bets on the outcome?"

"Yes, Sir Alex."

Nodding his head, Connor said affirmatively:
