"Oh, right, the video! I need to quickly write down everything I can remember." Luo En suddenly thought of the video he watched before transmigrating.
He quickly stood up and, relying on his memory, found paper and a pen in the room.
He had transmigrated right after watching the video, so perhaps those videos were revelations meant for him. He needed to write them down while they were still fresh in his mind.

5. The Official personnel in this world are very dangerous. They will treat you, the transmigrator, as a heretic and eliminate you. If you encounter them, you must pick up a pistol nearby to defend yourself.
6. If you choose the 'Apprentice' Pathway, you can choose to drink the potion on a full moon when spirituality is abundant. This may give you a chance to receive the blessing of a great existence.
7. When you believe there is no hope for advancement, you can try chanting the honorific name of ■ ■. This can guarantee your promotion to an Angel.
8. If you encounter an unsolvable predicament, you can shout ■ ■ ■ ■ towards the sky. This will make all problems disappear like smoke.
Luo En's hand, which was writing, suddenly stopped. He found that he couldn't recall the crucial names in points seven and eight, even though he remembered all the other content. The most important names were completely forgotten.
It was as if fate didn't want him to remember them.
After a moment of thought, Luo En decided to put his doubts aside for now and write down the remaining two points first.
9. If you are not confident in your appearance, you can choose the 'Secrets Supplicant' Pathway. Trust me, this will greatly enhance your appearance.
His original body's appearance wasn't bad, so Luo En didn't take this point to heart and continued to write.
10. There are many beliefs in this world. You don't have to be confined to the Orthodox Church. You can try believing in other existences. This might lead to unexpected gains.
Beliefs? His original body's belief seemed to be in the God of Steam and Machinery.
God of Steam and Machinery—that name sounded so unpretentious. It felt like someone who got a divine position by luck, not even as good as God of All Machines.
If nothing else, Omnissiah would have been better.
After internally complaining about his original body's belief, Luo En also stopped writing. Apart from the two names he couldn't recall, he had written down everything else he could remember.
As for those two names, Luo En didn't think much about them. After all, they were Western names, so it was normal not to remember them.
"Let's call it the Transmigration Guide. Following these ten points, there shouldn't be any problems in the future, right?"
After reviewing the remembered content once more, confirming there were no other omissions apart from the two names, Luo En stood up and stretched.
He glanced at the mechanical clock on the wall; it was 6:03 AM. He tidied up the items on the table briefly, then planned to wash up before going out to see what this world was like.
Luo En currently lived at 69 Rose Street. This house was a two-story attic. He lived in the upstairs room, and directly opposite his room was the second-floor washroom.
After Luo En's father, Tarkin, died, Luo En, who was still in school, suddenly lost his source of income. His cheap father had already sold the family house, so he had no choice but to rely on his remaining meager money to rent this house in a less desirable but still decent area.
Although it was only one room, because it was in the capital, the rent was not cheap, costing one pound a month. To maintain a semblance of dignity, his original body gritted his teeth and rented this house despite having no income in the short term.
He splashed cold water on his face, feeling the metallic taste in the water. Luo En looked up at the mirror above the sink and saw his current appearance.
Deep brown, slightly curly hair, brown eyes, combined with a delicate appearance, indeed gave him the look of a rich young master, but his face was pale and he looked very haggard.
He composed himself, Luo En decided to go out for breakfast first; he was already feeling a bit hypoglycemic.
He walked down the slightly aged stairs, his footsteps light, pausing with each step, fearing he might wake his landlady, Mrs. Griffin, as the soundproofing in houses of this era was not good.
Living on the first floor was the landlady, Mrs. Griffin. She was around 60 years old, a widow with a son working out of town. After her husband died in an accident ten years ago, she lived there alone.
In Luo En's impression, Mrs. Griffin was quite hardcore. She used to boast to him about her glorious history. When she was young, she served in the colonial army, and not as a medic or in administrative work, but as a front-line combatant.
Although he didn't know how she managed it, one could imagine how hardcore a female soldier had to be in that era.
She also boasted that her husband was someone she had taken a liking to back then, and then she had proposed to him in a hardcore way. It was said that her husband initially tried to resist but ultimately couldn't beat her, so he had to give in.
As for how hardcore the so-called hardcore proposal was, Luo En didn't know. Luo En had actually expressed doubts about Mrs. Griffin's words, but then he thought of the decorative muskets and the entire half-wall of swords in her room, and Luo En chose not to say anything more.
Opening the house's main door, Luo En looked at the Victorian-style buildings before him, feeling a touch of melancholy.
'This is a new world!'
'When can I go home? I heard the original novel was a transmigration story.'
'By the way, did the protagonist of the original novel ever go home in the end?'
After a moment of thought, Luo En found he couldn't get an answer, so he temporarily pushed these questions to the back of his mind.
What surprised him was that this place was different from the Victorian era on Earth. The entire street had a cleanliness that surpassed this era. It wasn't that the street was extremely clean, but it wasn't like the impression he had of the Victorian era, where filth flew everywhere and the ground was covered in excrement, making it dirty and chaotic.
After walking a few steps along the route from his memory, Luo En arrived at the entrance of a coffee shop. The shop wasn't large, but it was nearby, and the environment inside was quite clean. His original body often came here for breakfast and was quite familiar with the owner.
"Oh, it's Luo En. What would you like today?" As soon as Luo En entered, the owner, who also served as a waiter, came over to greet him.
"Um, give me a good cup of coffee, and… a black bread, I guess." Luo En looked down at the menu.
"Black bread? I thought you only ate oat bread!" The owner was a bit puzzled.
"Ah! Then just an oat bread."
"Alright then, 4 pence."
Luo En took four coins from his pocket and handed them over.
"You gave me the wrong ones. These are 5-pence coins." The owner returned the money after realizing the coins in his hand were incorrect.
"Ah, sorry, I was distracted." Luo En took the coins, then took out four 1-pence coins and handed them over.
The owner took the money and walked towards the kitchen, muttering to himself.
"This kid is acting strange today."
Soon, the food was served. A hungry Luo En didn't think much and started eating directly with his hands.
As for the taste, for Luo En, who was accustomed to modern industrialized food, he could only say it wasn't bad, but it was still far from his standard of delicious.
After eating and drinking his fill, Luo En finally had the mental capacity to consider his next steps. He currently had about 50 pounds left. Even if he included some emergency private money, he only had less than 100 pounds.
Of course, he also had some stock investments left to him by his deceased father, but those arms factories had not yet officially started making a profit, so there were naturally no dividends. Miss Hall's fund also couldn't be cashed out in the short term because it was a closed-end fund.
Actually, Luo En originally had several hundred pounds, but his original body had spent it all on potion formulas and materials.
According to Luo En's memory, with just over 300 pounds, one could deposit the money in the bank and live solely off the interest.
This couldn't help but make Luo En complain about his original body. He could have lived an easy life but insisted on gambling, and to make matters worse, he bought a potion with a strange name like 'Monster'.
If he had to buy one, he should have bought 'Assassin'!
However, looking at it from another perspective, his original body was quite lucky. Formulas and materials were most prone to fraud, but his original body actually found a reliable merchant and bought the correct items.
After much thought, Luo En decided to follow the recommendation from the video before his transmigration and choose the 'Assassin' Pathway.
After all, 'Assassin'… Assassin's Creed!
Moreover, the video also said that 'Assassin' was suitable for self-preservation. For a transmigrator like Luo En, who might be treated as a heretic by the Orthodox Church, self-preservation was the most suitable ability.
He planned to inquire about the potion formula at the place where he had previously bought the 'Monster' potion materials, to see if there were any clues.
As for the money issue, at worst, he would sell the 'Monster' potion to exchange for 'Assassin'.
