Republican Era: From Recruiting Henchmen to Ruling Shanghai

After transmigrating to the Republic of China era, he became an ordinary citizen living in a Shanghai slum, oppressed by everyone and kicked around by anyone who pleased.

Then his stall was overturned, and Wang Hao, fed up with being pushed around, activated the Little Brother System.

From then on, their lives became just a tiny bit different.

Back when he sold pears:

“Hey, kid, paid your protection money today? Those pears look good. I'll take a bag.”

Now that he sold pears:

“Hey, kid, I paid my protection money today. These pears came from my home. You're taking them whether you like it or not!”

Back when he pulled a rickshaw:

“Hey, punk, you should be honored I'm riding in your cab. You dare charge me?”

Now that he pulled a rickshaw:

“Boss, hop in. I'll take you, and you can pay the usual fare.”

As the number of men under him grew by the day, and his interests expanded to include cab companies, fruit, and upscale clubs, Wang Hao became the undisputed king of Shanghai without even realizing it.

“Sigh, those days when people looked down on me are gone for good. To be honest, I kind of miss them.”
