Scholars in the courtyard.

Standing in front of the stove, Yang Xiaotao looked around and knew what was going on.

The daily life in Kazakhstan was similar to that in China. Yang Xiaotao took one look and started to take action.

Chop chop chop

The kitchen knife cuts the shredded potatoes evenly and carefully.

cha cha cha

The shovel rubbed against the iron pot, and the food was quickly turned over.

Soon, there were sounds of surprise outside the kitchen, and a scent spread.

Half an hour later, a large bowl of food appeared on the dining table. Although there were not many styles, the quantity was sufficient.

Especially the palm-wide pot stickers soaked in mutton soup made everyone salivate several times.

"Xiao Yang, your skills are as good as those of a chef."

Li Shengli sandwiched the shredded potatoes and held the pot stickers with one hand, soaked the mutton soup, took a sip, and then ate the vegetables.

It’s so rare to have this sense of hometown in a foreign country.

Yang Zhi and others had the same idea. Tang Mingyue sipped the mutton soup with a little envy in her eyes.

She knew the situation at Yang Xiaotao's family.

Yang Xiaotao was just modest about this, finished his meal quickly, said something to a few people, and returned to the study again.

While eating, he had already thought about it.

Even if I read without eating or drinking, I can't read this room full of books.

Might as well pick out the most useful ones and take them away.

Yes, Yang Xiaotao plans to be a thief for a while.

Anyway, the old man from Mohammed has already gone to see Marx.

There is no use in keeping these books here. It is better to let them return to China and continue to shine for Marx's unfinished work.

"I believe Grandpa Marx will agree if he knows about it."

Having convinced himself, Yang Xiaotao began to browse through the books one by one and make a selection.

Akto City
While everyone was resting in the manor, in the same manor, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses lowered his head and reviewed piles of documents.

As the person in charge of the bureau in Central Asia, he himself is under tremendous pressure.

Especially now, various forces have begun to emerge, various organizations are competing with each other, and the chaos is chaotic. You and I are in chaos. It is even more necessary for people like them to have first-hand intelligence to provide a basis for the alliance to make correct judgments.

In particular, the plague that broke out last winter was quickly brought under control, but the damage it caused was still huge and caused panic in many franchise countries.

Under such circumstances, the economic situation of various countries is not optimistic.

If you were in Europa, you could still rely on your previous accumulation to support yourself, but here, there is simply not enough wealth to cope with the economic recession.

All we rely on is the alliance's constant deployment.

This is also the reason why Kazakhstan and surrounding countries trade with China, but the alliance turns a blind eye.

Snapped

After closing a document, the middle-aged man put down his pen and finally looked up at the young man in front of him.

By this time, the young man had been standing respectfully for two hours.

After coming in, after saying the first sentence, I stood here.

This was a show of force and disdain for him, but he didn't dare to resist at all. Even his legs were numb, his body was itchy, and his back was soaked with sweat, so he didn't dare to move.

If someone familiar were here, they would be surprised to see this person.

The hound, once notorious in the league for being brutal, ruthless, and capable, turned out to be as well-behaved as a pug.

"This mission is good."

The middle-aged man looked at the documents and reports on the table and said calmly.

The hound spoke immediately. Perhaps because he had not spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir."

The middle-aged man looked up, then lowered his head.

"There are no casualties. These people don't seem to be simple!"

"Could it be, again, Kung Fu?"

The man with glasses said easily, and was very surprised by the fighting power displayed by Yang Xiaotao and his group.

Of course, this is just an accident. There are many such people in their alliance.

If he wanted to, he could dispatch a group of warriors at random and crush them.

It can only be said that the opponent was too useless and gave China a chance to become famous.

Well, how do you put it in Chinese terms?

By the way, there are no heroes who made Shuzi famous.

The bespectacled man leaned back in his chair, then picked up the coffee on the table and stirred it gently with a spoon in his hand.

Cold, bitter coffee is his favorite drink recently.

It can dispel the heat and restore calmness.

"Did you check the other party's car?"

The hound nodded immediately, "According to our observation and close visit, there are no other prohibited items in the car."

"Besides that, the car is pretty good and equipped with a refrigerator and air conditioner. The interior is also gorgeous."

"The other party should want to use this method to open up the market."

The bespectacled man nodded. He was now afraid that China would bring in private goods, but the rest didn't matter.

Selling a car? Doing business?

The little money China earns is not in the eyes of the Federation at all.

What he was afraid of was that there were ulterior secrets in it.

Especially since the other party has mastered mushroom eggs and has completed the experiment of combining two orders a few days ago.

This incident not only caused the old man above to be criticized, but also brought shame to their entire department.

Of course, this humiliation happened more than once.

In the final analysis, it is still caused by the ambiguous relationship between the alliance and China.

It wouldn't be difficult for them to cut through the mess quickly and deal with them directly as enemies.

Some things can be handled better.

Unlike now, they want to control China, but are afraid of being cut off and pushed to the opposite side. They are timid in doing things, giving China a chance to rise.

The spoon stopped stirring, and the bespectacled man regained his composure, putting aside those things that only important people worry about, and continued with the current matter.

"Pay close attention and don't let them out of sight. If something goes wrong, you're responsible."

"understand!"

The bespectacled man waved his hand, threw the document to the hound, and let it go.

"If you can't do such a small thing well, there's no point in staying."

The hound who had just walked out of the door was shocked, and immediately turned back to assure, "Don't worry, my subordinates will try their best to complete it."

The Hound breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the office. There was a chilly feeling on my back.

The Canon in front of him is more terrifying and unpredictable than the original Gorzhensky.

Although Gorzhensky is cruel at heart, he can be dealt with.

The person in front of me looks fine on the surface, but is dark inside.

Since he came to power, he has dealt with all the old people left behind by his predecessor, either explicitly or covertly, and those who have not been dealt with have been treated like dogs.

Of course, for them, dog is not a derogatory term. Being a loyal dog that is loyal to the alliance and useful to the country is also an existence that realizes its own value.

Walking on the steps, I read the description in the information.

Three people died and eighteen were seriously injured, even if they were cured, they would still be disabled.

Judging from the injuries, the three people who died were devastated by huge force and fatally struck by one blow.

Among the injuries, most were caused by blows, some were punctured by wood, and a few were cut by knives.

It was obvious at first glance that he didn't even use a gun or even a few knives, he just picked it up with his bare hands.

"Haha, are these the elite of Great Britain?"

"Sure enough, they are a bunch of trash, so many people can't clean up a few of them."

"It seems that Great Britain's 'elite' have fallen in the trenches."

"The rest are just a bunch of cowards."

The hound said disdainfully, as for the task assigned by Canon, he will definitely complete it with all his strength.

However, in his view, this is a simple task.

After all, this is not China.

Here is the alliance of crows and swallows.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for familiarizing yourself with "Principles of Machine Tool Construction" and earning 1000 credit points!"

Rubbing his eyes, the system prompts sounded in his mind, announcing that he had finished reading the book.

"No wonder, no wonder."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the books in his hands and sighed in his heart.

The original machine tool-related books were not considered complete books at all, so it was useless to read them all.

This time when I encountered the original, the system immediately prompted me.

This also proves in disguise that the books in this room are really useful.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten one thing."

Seeing the credits suddenly turn into four digits on the system panel, Yang Xiaotao slapped his head and suddenly remembered what was going on.

"A blind box."

Rubbing his hands, he went into the study this morning and forgot about this.

"Open it, open it now."

People are in high spirits when happy events happen. Who would have thought that I could gain so many books here, and they would be books that are useful to me.

Isn't this kind of luck the time to open a blind box?

After a while, Yang Xiaotao took out a palm-sized wooden box from the space.

"Is this golden nanmu?"

"The packaging is so good, the contents inside will not be bad."

Yang Xiaotao was thinking, Xiaowei also came out from the side, her little head was very curious, and she reached out to touch the wooden box.

"Wait a minute, I'll open it first."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao pushed open the box and saw a yellow talisman inside.

Yang Xiaotao reached out and took it out. Xiaowei immediately came forward with curiosity in her little eyes.

As the talisman comes into contact, the system prompts.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting a sub-skill upgrade talisman."

Sub-skill upgrade talisman: After use, randomly select one of the sub-skills and upgrade it to a level.

"I go!"

Yang Xiaotao directly cursed.

You know, except for Yang Xiaotao's sub-skills, which have been upgraded to level eight, none of them have been fully upgraded.

However, there are differences among these sub-skills.

If you are randomly selected for life skills such as fishing and cooking, you will definitely lose money.

It’s not that these sub-skills are not good. In those years of hard work, these life-related skills helped Yang Xiaotao a lot.

But as life becomes more and more stable, upgrading these life-related skills will at most result in an increase in proficiency, and more fixed monthly rewards.

Relatively speaking, work-related skills are more helpful to Yang Xiaotao.

If this is used in mechanical proficiency, it would cost 10,000 credits to upgrade from level 6 to level 7.

If you pay more than 2,000 yuan and exchange it for 10,000 yuan, you will definitely make a profit.

"The heavens and the earth are spirited, bless and bless you."

Yang Xiaotao thought in his heart, then picked up the talisman and said it silently in his mind to use it.

In an instant, the talisman disappeared into thin air as if it spontaneously ignited, leaving no trace.

The next second, a nervous voice suddenly sounded.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the steelmaking proficiency level has been improved, and the current level is three."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have received the reward 'Tin-plated Iron Manufacturing Technology'."

Two voices sounded one after another, and Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment.

Then his face showed ecstasy.

Although he is not proficient in mechanics, his proficiency in steelmaking is pretty good.

You know, it takes 5,000 credits to upgrade from Level 2 to Level 3.

This is great, it saves half of it.

And what he originally wanted to do was to improve his steelmaking technology.

But, isn’t this tin-plated iron just tinplate?
"Is it possible to use this thing to make cans?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't understand it for a while, but then he felt dizzy in his mind.

Torrents of knowledge burst out from the depths of my mind, extending and emerging in my mind.

A bunch of knowledge about tin-plated iron melted into his mind.

As the knowledge continued to be digested, Yang Xiaotao gradually understood what this tin-plated iron was.

I finally understood that this tinplate is tin-plated iron, but tin-plated iron is not tinplate.

It's a bit hard to say, but Yang Xiaotao understands that producing this tin-plated iron is of great significance to domestic development.

In particular, all tinplate nowadays is imported.

"Good stuff."
