Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

He Yudong walked out of the cafeteria leisurely, holding his lunch box and humming a tuneless tune.

"Shazhu, see? This kid is getting more and more arrogant now!" Xu Damao came up to Shazhu with a sinister look on his face, "He relies on his talent as a machinist to not even take you seriously!"

Sha Zhu didn't say anything, but just stared at He Yudong's back with a changeable look in his eyes.

"This brat will be punished sooner or later!" Xu Damao gritted his teeth, "Just wait, I'll go to the factory office and ask him, how can he pass the level 6 machinist exam when he hasn't even graduated from elementary school!"

Sha Zhu grabbed Xu Damao, shook his head, and whispered, "You are stupid! He is now the focus of training in the factory. If you report him, won't you be unhappy?"

"What should we do? Just watch him being so arrogant?" Xu Damao said unwillingly.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with him." A sly look flashed in Sha Zhu's eyes, "Just wait and see, I will let him know who is the real boss in the steel mill!"

He Yudong didn't know that he had been remembered by Sha Zhu and Xu Damao. He felt like drinking a big bowl of iced sour plum soup in the dog days of summer. It was so refreshing!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Show your talents!"

"Mission Reward: Mysterious Skill Pack*1, automatically activated!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Super Memory!"

"Super Memory: The host can clearly remember anything seen, heard, touched, smelled or tasted, and can recall it at any time and in any place."

"Damn! This skill is awesome!" He Yudong was ecstatic.

With this skill, not to mention passing the sixth-level fitter exam, even passing the eighth-level fitter exam would be a piece of cake, right?

In the next few days, He Yudong worked during the day and hid at home at night, using his super memory to frantically learn locksmith knowledge.

He was like a dry sponge, greedily absorbing the sweet rain of knowledge.

On Jia Dongxu's side, however, there was a gloomy look on his face.

Ever since he made the bet with He Yudong, he began to regret it.

He had no talent for learning and was lazy, so after three years, he still hadn't figured out the content of the second-level fitter exam.

Now, for him, passing the third-level fitter exam within a month is harder than climbing to the sky.

"Dongxu, why don't you read a book?" Jia Zhang was worried when she saw her son doing nothing all day. "If you lose, you will be embarrassed!"

"Why am I not reading the book!" Jia Dongxu yelled impatiently, "I can't understand this crappy book at all!"

"If you don't understand, just ask!" Jia Zhang said angrily, "Go find an old man and ask him to teach you!"

"Uncle, uncle, you only know uncle!" Jia Dongxu stood up suddenly and said angrily, "I think you should just go with uncle, why do you still care about me!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left, leaving Jia Zhang alone in the room, stamping her feet in anger.

"This rebellious son! He really makes me so angry!" Jia Zhang cursed with gritted teeth.

Jia Dongxu ran all the way out of the yard and happened to meet Qin Huairu coming back from get off work.

"Dongxu, what's wrong with you? Who offended you?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

Jia Dongxu grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and said with red eyes: "Huairu, I...I might lose..."

"Lost? Lost what?" Qin Huairu was confused.

"I... I made a bet with He Yuzhu that I would take the level 3 fitter exam next month..." Jia Dongxu's voice became smaller and smaller.

"What?!" Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned pale. "How can you bet with him! You know, he..."

Before Qin Huairu could finish her words, she was interrupted rudely by Jia Dongxu: "I know! I know he is good! But...but I have already promised him! If I lose, I will call him dad three times in front of everyone in the hospital!"

"What?!" Qin Huairu felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fainted.

He Yudong carried the lunch box, humming a little tune, and walked out of the courtyard in a happy mood.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to actually make a bet with Jia Dongxu, that would be purely to disgust him.

"Want to fight with me? Don't you see that I came from another world?" He Yudong was secretly happy.

He was a mechanical engineer in his previous life, so level 6 fitter was a piece of cake for him.

After finding a quiet place to finish his meal, He Yudong strolled towards the steel mill library.

Usually no one comes to the library, especially at noon, it is completely empty.

He Yudong found a seat in a corner and sat down, then took out a book called "Basics of Mechanical Drawing" from his arms.

"Ding! It is detected that the host is learning knowledge related to mechanical drawing, and the system is binding..."

"System binding successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Super Engineer System'!"

"System? Golden finger? Hahaha, I knew it was a must-have for time travelers!"

He Yudong suppressed his inner ecstasy and carefully checked the functions of the system.

The system interface is simple and clear. In addition to the personal property panel, there is also a taskbar and a system store.

"The host's current task is to complete the sixth-level fitter assessment within one month."

"Mission Rewards: 1. Unlock in the system store; 2. One random draw."

"Failure penalty: None."

"This system is quite humane and there is no punishment." He Yudong nodded secretly.

"Let's see what's in store first..."

He Yudong opened the system store and was immediately dazzled by the dazzling array of goods.

"Basic fighting skills, intermediate cooking skills, advanced gun manufacturing drawings..."

"Oh my god, this is so awesome!" He Yudong almost shouted out loud in excitement.

However, the system store is currently locked and can only be unlocked after completing the first mission.

"It seems that I have to hurry up and study."

He Yudong suppressed his excitement, opened the "Fundamentals of Mechanical Drawing" and began to study it carefully.

Time passed minute by minute, and the library was quiet with only the sound of He Yudong turning pages.

"Brother Yudong, are you there?"

A delicate voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

He Yudong was startled and raised his head suddenly, only to see Qin Huairu standing gracefully in front of him, looking at him lovingly with her big watery eyes.

"Sister Huairu, why are you here?" He Yudong closed the book and asked in confusion.

"I'm here to return the book." Qin Huairu shook the book in her hand and said softly, "Brother Yudong, are you here alone?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just feel sorry for you being alone." Qin Huairu said, sitting down next to He Yudong.

A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and He Yudong couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Qin Huairu was wearing a simple floral shirt today, with the neckline slightly open, revealing her fair skin, and slim-fitting trousers outlining her exquisite curves.

"Brother Yudong, why do you smell like chicken?" Qin Huairu suddenly asked.

"Oh, I had scallion chicken for lunch, and it might have gotten on my clothes." He Yudong answered casually.

"Scallion chicken..." Qin Huairu's stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

"Brother Yudong, have you eaten?" Qin Huairu asked pitifully.

"I ate it, I ate it." He Yudong said quickly.

"Oh..." A hint of disappointment flashed across Qin Huairu's eyes.

"Um, Brother Yudong..." Qin Huairu suddenly approached He Yudong and whispered in his ear, "I... don't have money to eat today..."

As she spoke, she gently placed her hand on He Yudong's leg.

He Yudong only felt a current rushing from his thigh to his forehead, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

He Yudong was holding the lunch box, humming an unknown tune, feeling quite relaxed.

"Hey, isn't this the new 'filial son' in our courtyard? Why are you eating here alone? Why don't you go and serve your father?"

A sarcastic voice came from behind, and He Yudong knew who it was without turning around.

Xu Damao, a famous chatterbox in the courtyard, likes to sow discord and laugh at others.

He Yudong was too lazy to pay attention to him and was about to leave with his lunch box.

"What? Did I hit the nail on the head? Don't think I don't know what you're up to! You want to take the Level 6 fitter exam? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"

Xu Damao caught up with He Yudong in a few steps, blocked his way, with a weird look on his face.

"I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be our projectionist - Xu Damao, Master Xu!" He Yudong looked at him with a fake smile, "What's the matter? Are you planning to give me some special treatment and give me some pointers?"

Xu Damao hated it most when people talked about his identity as a projectionist. In his opinion, projectionist was a job done by intellectuals and was much nobler than the working class people in the theater.

"Don't be so sarcastic here, kid!" Xu Damao's face darkened. "I'm telling you, don't I know your little tricks? You want to take the exam? Bah! I'm telling you, no way!"

"Oh, the tone of your voice, if someone doesn't know you, they would think you are the director of our factory! What does it have to do with you whether I pass the exam or not? Aren't you meddling too much?" He Yudong curled his lips in disdain.

"You..." Xu Damao was speechless and his face turned pale and blue.

"What's wrong with me? Was what I said wrong? How does my taking the exam affect you? Or are you afraid that if I pass it, it will make you look incompetent?" He Yudong pressed on step by step, not giving Xu Damao any face at all.

"You kid..." Xu Damao was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at He Yudong's nose and couldn't speak for a long time.

"What do you mean by 'me'? Xu Damao, let me tell you, don't think I don't know the dirty thoughts in your mind! You are just jealous of me, jealous that I am more capable than you, and jealous that I can live a good life in the future!" He Yudong unceremoniously exposed his thoughts.

"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Damao was so angry that he raised his fist to hit He Yudong.

He Yudong was prepared. He dodged sideways and slapped Xu Damao in the face with his backhand.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of slapping rang out in the yard, startling the neighbors passing by and causing them to stop and watch.
