Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

The waves are running, the waves are flowing, the surging river never stops...

The Republic of China, Shanghai.

Ye Yunfei slowly opened his eyes and looked around blankly.

Noisy crowds, quaint buildings, familiar songs, and pedestrians coming and going.

Everyone was wearing long gowns and suits.

This is a train station, but it is not a modern one. Instead, it belongs to the Republic of China.

On the sign ahead, there are three big characters "Shanghai Station" written in traditional Chinese.

Obviously, this is the Shanghai Railway Station during the Republic of China period.

"I traveled through time. And I traveled to Shanghai."

Ye Yunfei looked at the familiar scene in front of him, full of disbelief.

The previous moment, he was watching a TV series about Shanghai at home, and the next moment, there was a sudden earthquake, the house he was in collapsed, and he was buried in the rubble.

Before he died, he vaguely saw a green light flashing and entering his body on the TV playing Shanghai in front of him.

Then he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was already here.

The scene before him was extremely familiar to him.

Isn’t this the scene at the beginning of the TV series Shanghai, where Xu Wenqiang just arrived in Shanghai by train?

"It's incredible. I actually traveled to Shanghai during the Republic of China period. Moreover, the scene in front of me is almost the same as what was shown on TV before."

"Doesn't this mean that I can meet Xu Wenqiang, Ding Li, Feng Chenchen and others?"

Before Ye Yunfei had time to get excited about the surprise of rebirth, his face turned solemn.

Time travel is not necessarily a good thing.

Especially traveling back to Shanghai during the Republic of China period.

You have to know that Shanghai during the Republic of China period was a very chaotic place. Various forces were mixed together, all walks of life were controlled by gangs, and darkness was almost everywhere.

People are dying here every moment.

Corpses can be seen floating in the Huangpu River from time to time.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is hell on earth.

Moreover, this place is somewhat different from the Shanghai in my memory. There are not only underworld bosses such as Feng Jingyao, Nie Renwang, Jin Dazhong, and Lao Jiu.

There are also social groups such as the Qing Gang, the Hongmen, and the Jingwu Sect. It can be said that the situation is extremely chaotic.

In such a chaotic situation, death is a normal occurrence.

Of course, for ordinary people, this is hell.

But for the rich, this is paradise.

There are lights, wine, women and music everywhere. As long as you have money and power, you can get everything.

In a word, hell for the poor and paradise for the rich.

Ye Yunfei frowned. He traveled to Shanghai, a city full of cannibalism, and became a member of the lowest class.

As far as I remember, he is currently just a fruit vendor at the train station.

In Shanghai, where power and money are supreme, it can be said that I am just a person at the bottom of society.

"Oh my God, you are kidding me. You didn't even give me a good identity when you traveled through time. Even if I'm not a big shot in the underworld, I should at least be a rich young man. Damn it, you made me travel through time and space and become a fruit seller. You are kidding me."

Ye Yunfei cursed the heavens. It would be fine if he was selling fruits in modern times, but selling fruits in Shanghai during the Republic of China era meant he was destined to be bullied.

Ye Yunfei's voice caused the passers-by around him to look at him sideways, as if he were a fool.

"Oh, right, system, where is the system?"

"Isn't there a system for time travel?"

Ye Yunfei ignored the looks from people around him and hurriedly looked for the system.

Others who travel through time all have awesome systems, it’s impossible for him to have nothing at all.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

"Fuck, there really isn't a system, right? I might as well just die. What's the point of living in Shanghai without a system? Maybe my body will be floating in the Huangpu River tomorrow."

Ye Yunfei cursed angrily.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the crossing was successful."

"The super gang system is starting up..."

At this moment, suddenly, a voice came from my head.

Hearing this voice, Ye Yunfei was overjoyed.

There really is a system. It seems the legends are true. God will not let me down.

But what the hell is this super gang system? Could it be that it allows him to form a gang?

Without thinking too much, Ye Yun asked directly: "System Boss, what does this super gang system mean? Are you going to form a gang?"

System: "Host, if you form a guild and recruit disciples, you will receive corresponding rewards."

"The more disciples you recruit, the greater the reward."

It really is……

Ye Yunfei didn't expect that this was actually a system that allowed him to form a gang.

nice.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Ye Yunfei's eyes.

The most important thing in Shanghai is gangs, disciples, and building your own power.

And this system is perfect for forming gangs.

"Ding, it is detected that the host has just traveled through time, and a free gift package is given. Please ask if you want to open it."

"Turn on."

Ye Yunfei said without hesitation.

"The gift package is opening..."

"The gift package was opened successfully..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the power of the overlord (having the power of the overlord)"

……

The system voice came on.

Click.

Just as the system voice came, Ye Yunfei clearly felt a crisp crackling sound coming from inside his body.

His whole body is full of muscles, bulging high, and his body is full of strength.

"What a powerful force."

Ye Yunfei clenched his fist and felt that it was very hard and powerful.

"It feels so good."

Ye Yunfei was full of surprise. His strength alone now far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. It seems that as long as the gang he forms becomes stronger and stronger, the system will give him more rewards in the future.

"it is good!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Ye Yunfei's eyes. In that case, then let him make a name for himself in Shanghai.

"Brother Ye, your breakfast."

Just then, a voice came from the side.

Ye Yun turned around and saw a girl with two ponytails and wearing coarse clothes standing next to him, holding two cakes in her hands.

The girl's name was Xiao Ya, and she was his neighbor. Her family conditions were not good, and like him, she lived at the bottom of Shanghai's society. So the two of them often set up stalls together and had a good relationship. Xiao Ya would bring him breakfast from time to time.

Although Xiao Ya was wearing coarse clothes, it still couldn't hide her beautiful face and proud figure.

"Thanks, Xiaoya."

Ye Yunfei took the cake handed to him by Xiao Ya and said thank you.

After breakfast, the two started to set up the stall.

Xiao Ya sells breakfast and her business is much better than his.

Just at this moment, several burly men came over.

"Little girl, who allowed you to sell breakfast here? Have you paid your protection fee today?"

The leading man spoke.

Ye Yunfei frowned. From his memory, he knew that the thugs in front of him were from the Red Dragon Gang.

Shanghai today is extremely chaotic, with thousands of gangs and societies of all sizes.

Apart from the top gangs that have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, the rest are relatively small gangs.

Some of these small gangs have dozens of members, while others have hundreds of members.

The Red Dragon Gang was a small gang with as many as thirty or forty members, active near the Shanghai Railway Station.

Although it is not considered powerful, it is still a terrifying existence for ordinary people.

As far as I can remember, the Red Dragon Gang has always been collecting protection fees near the train station. Anyone who does business or sells things here has to pay them protection fees.

If they refused to hand it over, they would be severely beaten at best, and thrown directly into the Huangpu River to feed the fish at worst.

Because he couldn't pay the protection fee, Ye Yunfei had been beaten several times by the Red Dragon Gang.

Most of the injuries, big and small, on his body were caused by the Red Dragon Gang.

The man standing in front of him was a small leader of the Red Dragon Gang, named Liang Kun, nicknamed Brother Kun.

He is also a famous figure of this generation.

Seeing this group of hooligans, Xiao Ya was obviously scared and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Kun, I haven't made any money today. Can I pay it later?"

Liang Kun stared at Xiao Ya's delicate face and said, "Okay, take off your clothes and dance for us brothers, and we will waive your protection fee today."
