Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

In the summer of 1960, in the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, an 18-year-old boy repeatedly confirmed the house number and address, and silently called the system in his mind.

【Whether to submit the task. 】

【Yes. 】

[Novice tutorial task 1 - Go to the Siheyuan at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang to check in. If you check in successfully, the reward system will be activated. Please check the reward.]

Zhang Yuan quickly recited to himself to open the system panel, and the system panel appeared in his mind.

【Player: Zhang Yuan】

[Age: 18 years old]

[Physical fitness: physical fitness 4 intelligence 5 charm 3]

[System Description: Physical fitness refers to all aspects of the body, intelligence refers to learning ability, and charm refers to the initial friendliness of the other party. The physical fitness value for adults is generally 6.]

[Skill: None]

[Storage space (2/10): letter of introduction and 1 key to the front yard]

[Ding, triggering the novice tutorial mission 2 - please move into the courtyard immediately, and you will be rewarded with a random skill. ]

Zhang Yuan thought that he really didn't want to live in this courtyard. The monsters and demons here were too powerful, including Yi Zhonghai, the Lord of Morality, Jia Zhang, the Necromancer, Qin Huairu, the White Lotus, Geng, the Thief of the Stick, and He Yuzhu, the God of War in the courtyard. It was too troublesome to deal with these people.

But for the sake of system tasks, let this storm come even more violently.

Zhang Yuan was holding a torn backpack, which contained three pieces of personal clothing and personal belongings, as well as 2 yuan, 4 cents and 1 cent. This was all his assets, which were collected by the villagers. In order for him to go to the city, the simple villagers squeezed out the money with great difficulty. Zhang Yuan thought that after he settled down in the old city, he would repay those lovely villagers.

"Hello, young man, who are you looking for?" A thin old man stopped Zhang Yuan and looked at him warily.

"Oh, hello, uncle. I'm the new resident. My name is Zhang Yuan." Zhang Yuan replied.

"Have you a letter of introduction?"

"Yes, wait a moment."

Zhang Yuan hurriedly reached into his backpack, pretending to look for it, using the backpack to block his view, and took out the letter of introduction from the storage space.

"Uncle, please take a look." Zhang Yuan handed it over.

After the old man finished looking, he let down his guard and said with a smile: "Oh, your name is Zhang Yuan. The street office comrades told us about your house the day before yesterday. I am the manager of the courtyard house. My name is Yan Bugui. I will take you to see the house."

"Ding, an important person is found - Yan Bugui, friendship level 40."

Under the guidance of Yan Bugui, Zhang Yuan came to the house where he would live in the future. The house had only one door and one window. After pushing open the door, it was not as messy and dirty as he had imagined. There was only a broken wooden bed with missing legs, supported by a pile of bricks underneath. The rest of the furniture was gone, and it was very clean.

When Yan Bugui saw this, his face turned a little ugly, but he quickly covered it up and said, "The street office notified us before, so we had someone clean it up."

"Thank you, Uncle Yan."

"You can just call me Third Uncle. There are two other uncles in charge of the yard. One is Uncle Yi Zhonghai, who is a level 8 fitter in the steel rolling mill. He is in charge of the middle yard. The other one is also from the steel rolling mill, Liu Haizhong, a level 7 forger. He is in charge of the back yard. I will be in charge of the front yard. In short, if you have any problems, you can come to us for help. But don't worry, there are not so many things in our front yard."

I don't know if it was Yan Bugui's intention to make it clear that there were not so many troubles in the front yard. Zhang Yuan, who was familiar with the plot, also understood what Yan Bugui meant. The biggest trouble in the front yard was his Yan family, and the other residents were at most passers-by A, B, C, and D.

After Zhang Yuan sent Yan Bugui away, he began to tidy up the house.

【Submit the task. 】

[Ding! Submission successful. Congratulations to the player for obtaining the random skill - Cooking Level 1.]

At this time, on the system panel, Zhang Yuan’s skills have an additional skill, Cooking Level 1, followed by 0/100, which means that 100 experience points are required to upgrade.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a fat woman with inverted triangle eyes walked in. When she saw Zhang Yuan, she was stunned at first, then she kept silent and left in a hurry.

"Ding! An important person was found - Zhang Xiaohua, friendship level -100."

It turned out to be Jia Zhang. No wonder her friendliness level was at the lowest as soon as she appeared.

Yan Bugui returned home depressed. His wife, Aunt San, saw her old man in this state and asked him curiously what happened.

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "There was a new tenant in our front yard. I wanted to show him the way out, but he refused to give me any money and asked me to leave the house."

As soon as the third aunt heard it, she knew the reason why Yan Bugui was sulking. It turned out that he didn't get any advantage. But after living together for so long, the third aunt had learned 60 to 70 percent of Yan Bugui's tricks. She felt bad about it, as she felt that she had lost out by not getting any advantage.

Yan Bugui suddenly laughed, and his laugh made the third aunt puzzled. Why was he laughing again? Could it be that he was thinking too much and made himself stupid?

Yan Bugui said: "When I came back just now, I saw Jia Zhang. I guess she went to her new neighbor's house."

The third aunt said: "Ms. Jia Zhang is like this all day long. It seems she is planning something again.

Yan Bugui said: "It has nothing to do with us anyway, don't worry about it. If Zhang Yuan hadn't given me a gift, I wouldn't bother to warn him. When he runs into trouble, he will naturally come to me to solve it. Then I'll see how he compensates me."

"It's great, really great!" The third aunt gave a thumbs up and praised her husband.

"Haha, I want Zhang Yuan to know that in this courtyard, my third uncle is his third uncle."

At night, Zhang Yuan came back from shopping, added some things to the house, and tidied it up again.

There is one more skill on the system panel - Housework lv1 (1/8). It seems that you can learn skills by doing things by yourself. With the skill of housework, you can do the work with ease.

The next day, Zhang Yuan slept until dawn. After a simple wash, he closed the door and went out to have breakfast. He did not forget to lock the door before leaving. The anti-theft awareness of this courtyard cannot be ignored.

Looking at the old-fashioned slogans and the quaint streets and alleys, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but admire the simplicity and hardworking people of that era.

Zhang Yuan plans to go to the street office first to ask if there are any jobs today, and then walk around the old city to appreciate its history.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to find a job these days. You either need connections or a letter of introduction, and the final decision depends on fate.

However, Zhang Yuan still has to think of a solution. He has a place to live temporarily, but if he cannot pay the rent next month, he will still be kicked out. The next problem is food.
