Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Yang Guofu was skeptical, but seeing He Yudong's confident look, he didn't want to discourage him. He could only wave his hand and said, "Okay, it's a good thing for young people to be motivated. But I have to say this in advance, if you fail the exam, don't be discouraged."

"Don't worry, Director. I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily." He Yudong smiled and turned to leave the workshop.

For the next month, He Yudong worked during the day and practiced crazily in the system space at night. The system space was equipped with all kinds of machine tools and equipment, which was simply a paradise for fitters!

He followed the instructions in the Bench Worker's Guide, starting with the most basic parts processing and gradually challenging more difficult operations. The proficiency bonus given by the system was simply abnormal, and he could master the skills that others would take months to master in just a few days.

After a month, He Yudong felt that he had been reborn and reached the state of man-machine integration. Not to mention the fifth-level fitter, he felt that he could definitely pass the sixth and seventh levels!

On the day of the exam, He Yudong walked into the exam room with full confidence. When he saw the test questions, he almost laughed out loud. These questions were a piece of cake for him!

He picked up the tool and operated it smoothly. The candidates around him were stunned. Such speed and precision were simply amazing!

After the exam, He Yudong handed in his paper easily, leaving the other candidates in disarray.

As expected, He Yudong passed the Level 5 fitter exam with full marks. This news was like a bomb, exploding in the steel mill.

"This kid is such a freak!"

"Going from level 4 to level 5 in just one month, this is too outrageous!"

"I heard that when he took the exam, his speed was so fast that it was almost like he was not a human being!"

When Yang Guofu heard all the rumors, he was shocked at first, and then he couldn't believe it. He personally found He Yudong and asked him about the exam situation in detail.

He Yudong naturally would not reveal the secret of the system. He just vaguely said that he had extraordinary talent and practiced hard, so he made rapid progress.

Although Yang Guofu was skeptical, the facts were before his eyes, and he could only sigh: "The new generation is better than the old generation!"

The news that He Yudong was promoted to level five fitter soon spread to the Siheyuan.

When Jia Zhang heard the news, she was so angry that she almost passed out. She originally thought that He Yudong would only be a low-level fitter for the rest of his life, but she didn't expect that he would be promoted to level five so quickly!

"This little bastard must have had some damn luck!" Jia Zhang cursed, gritting her teeth, "How could he be promoted so quickly? God must be blind!"

Qin Huairu also found it incredible. She originally thought that He Yudong was an honest and silly boy, but she didn't expect that he had such ability.

"It seems that I have to re-evaluate his value..." Qin Huairu thought secretly in her heart.

Banggeng felt jealous when he heard the news that He Yudong got a promotion and a raise. He had always been jealous of He Yudong and felt that he had taken away his mother's attention.

"Hmph, what's so great about that? He's just a fitter!" Bang Geng curled his lips in disdain but secretly swore in his heart that he must surpass He Yudong!

When He Yudong returned to the courtyard, he saw Jia Zhang sitting at the door, staring at him with resentment.

"Oh, isn't this our fifth-level fitter? He got promoted and made a fortune!" Jia Zhang said sarcastically.

He Yudong didn't bother to pay attention to her and went straight to his room.

"Stop!" Jia Zhang stood up suddenly and blocked He Yudong's way. "Don't be so complacent, kid. I tell you, you will be in trouble sooner or later!"

He Yudong sneered: "Old hag, you should take care of yourself first. Don't break your leg by walking carelessly one day!"

Jia Zhang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at He Yudong's nose and cursed: "You...you little beast, how dare you curse me!"

He Yudong was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. He pushed her away, walked into the room, and closed the door behind him.

Jia Zhang staggered and almost fell down. She was so angry that she cursed, but He Yudong could no longer hear her.

He returned to the house and took out the bicycle blueprint from the system space. This bicycle was the reward for his upgrade to level 5 fitter.

Looking at the streamlined car body on the drawing, He Yudong was full of anticipation.

"With this bicycle, traveling will be much more convenient in the future!" He rubbed his hands excitedly and began to prepare the materials needed to make the bicycle...

At this moment, the system suddenly issued a prompt sound: "Ding! Detected that the host is about to make a bicycle, triggering a special task - 'Siheyuan Bicycle Competition'!"

"Xiao He, you just passed the Level 4 fitter exam, and you want to take the Level 5 exam?" Yang Guofu's thick chin trembled, and the flesh on his face rippled like waves. "I have to criticize you for this. It's not good to be too ambitious."

He Yudong cursed in his heart: Fatty, is my promotion getting in your way? But he put on a smile: "Director, I just want to try it, what if it works?"

"What if? Do you think this is buying a lottery ticket?" Yang Guofu sneered, "It's not that easy to pass the fifth-level fitter exam. Theoretical knowledge and practical operation, which one does not require experience accumulation? You've only been here for a few days, and you're already so proud of yourself?"

"The director has taught me that I must study hard and strive to reach the standard of a level five fitter as soon as possible." He Yudong lowered his head and looked submissive, but in his heart he was thinking about how to slap this fat man in the face as soon as possible.

"Well, that's good to know." Yang Guofu nodded with satisfaction, then walked away with his hands behind his back.

He Yudong looked at his back, and a sneer appeared on his lips. With the system in hand, the world is mine! You fat guy, you still want to suppress me? Dream on!

After returning home, He Yudong plunged into the system space and began to learn the knowledge of level 5 fitter. The system's teaching materials were clear and easy to understand, and with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, He Yudong's learning efficiency was simply amazing.

In just one week, he had mastered all the theoretical knowledge of level 5 fitter and performed countless simulation operations in the system space.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for mastering the fifth-level machinist skill. Reward: a set of advanced machinist drawings."

The sound of the system made He Yudong ecstatic. Advanced benchwork drawings? This is a good thing! With it, he can make more precise parts and maybe make a greater contribution to the country!

Thinking of this, He Yudong was excited. It seemed that he would soon become a winner in life, reach the pinnacle, and marry a beautiful, rich woman!

The next day, He Yudong submitted an application to Yang Guofu to take the fifth-level fitter examination.

When Yang Guofu heard this, his fat face immediately fell: "Xiao He, didn't I tell you? Don't be too ambitious! It's only been a few days, and you want to take the fifth-level fitter exam? Who do you think you are?"

"Director, I have made sufficient preparations and I am confident that I can pass the exam." He Yudong said in a firm tone.

"Confidence? You have no confidence at all!" Yang Guofu roared, "Do you know how difficult the fifth-level fitter exam is? Do you think it's a joke?"

The workers around gathered around and pointed at He Yudong.

"This kid is too arrogant. It's only been a few days, and he wants to take the fifth-level fitter exam?"

"That's right, you don't even know your own weight, you really overestimate your own abilities!"

"Young man, you should keep your feet on the ground and not aim too high!"

Listening to the discussions around him, He Yudong's face was calm, without any panic. He knew that he had to prove himself with his strength.

"Director, since you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?" He Yudong raised his lips with a confident smile.

"Bet? What to bet on?" Yang Guofu was stunned.

"Let's bet on whether I can pass the level 5 machinist exam. If I pass, you will apologize to me in front of all the workers in the factory and admit your previous mistakes." He Yudong looked at Yang Guofu with burning eyes.

"Okay! I bet with you! What if you fail?" Yang Guofu was aroused by He Yudong's competitive spirit and agreed without thinking.

"If I fail, I will automatically give up my job as a fitter and leave the steel mill." He Yudong said in a firm tone without any hesitation.

"Okay! It's a deal!" Yang Guofu nodded heavily.

The workers around him all gasped. This guy is so bold! He actually dared to make such a big bet with the director!

In the next few days, He Yudong studied and practiced harder. He knew that this bet was not only related to his personal honor, but also to whether he could gain a firm foothold in this era.

On the day of the exam, He Yudong completed all the exam items calmly and performed with ease both in theoretical knowledge and practical operations.

When the test results came out, everyone was stunned. He Yudong actually passed the Level 5 fitter test! Moreover, his score was the highest among all the candidates!

Yang Guofu's face turned pale. He could never have imagined that this young man whom he had always looked down upon could actually do it!

Witnessed by all the workers in the factory, Yang Guofu had to apologize to He Yudong in person and admit his previous mistakes.

He Yudong looked at Yang Guofu, whose face was ashen, and felt secretly happy. This is just the beginning, there are still many days to come, let's wait and see!

Just as He Yudong was immersed in the joy of victory, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Ding! Triggering the hidden mission: Investigate the secrets of the steel mill. Mission reward: a mysterious gift package."

The secret of the steel mill? This aroused He Yudong's strong curiosity. What unknown secrets are hidden in this seemingly ordinary factory?

Curiosity drove He Yudong to start a secret investigation, and he found that a huge amount of money on the financial statements of the steel mill was unaccounted for. The amount of this money was huge enough to arouse anyone's suspicion.

He Yudong decided to investigate the whereabouts of the funds. He felt that there might be a huge conspiracy behind it...

The smile on Yang Guofu's face froze, as if it was covered with a layer of paste. He looked He Yudong up and down, his eyes full of suspicion: "Xiao He, are you kidding me? It's not easy to pass the level 5 fitter exam. Just after passing the level 4, you're thinking about the level 5. It's too big a step, and it's easy to pull..." As he said this, he pointed to his crotch meaningfully.

He Yudong grinned, revealing his white teeth: "Director, just wait and see! I know what's going on."

Yang Guofu sighed. I don't know if this guy is really capable or just bragging. But for young people, it's a good thing to be motivated. He patted He Yudong on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you are ambitious! But don't be too anxious. Take your time. The factory also provides training courses. You can go and listen."

"Okay, thank you for your concern!" He Yudong smiled secretly. Training courses? That thing is a waste of time for him. It's better for him to study at home with the teaching materials rewarded by the system.

Coming out of the workshop, He Yudong was in high spirits. He had been promoted and his salary had increased, which was a great feeling! He hummed a little tune as he passed by the cafeteria and smelled the tempting aroma of meat.

"Hey, isn't this Sha Zhu? What delicious dish smells so good today?" He Yudong came over and saw Sha Zhu waving a big spoon. Braised pork was bubbling in the pot, and the aroma was overflowing.

Sha Zhu glanced at him, his nose turned up: "Red braised pork, can you afford it? Level 4 fitter is amazing? I am the canteen chef!"

He Yudong rolled his eyes. This silly Zhu was still like this. However, the temptation of the braised pork was too great. He rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
