Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

As the night deepened, Fade Chen was walking home alone, unaware that in a corner of the city, a pair of vicious eyes were staring at him.

Sha Zhu, a guy who has a grudge against Chen Fei, is secretly planning a revenge.

He held a packet of laxatives in his hand, with a smug smile on his face.

In his opinion, he would definitely teach Chen Fei a severe lesson this time.

However, Chen Fei knew nothing about this.

His mind was not on Sha Zhu at the moment, but on his own major life events.

He is nearly thirty years old, but still alone, and he can't help feeling an inexplicable loneliness in his heart.

He longs to find a partner with whom he can spend the rest of his life and face the ups and downs of life together.

Although Chen Fei's house is not large, it is kept in good order.

Every morning when he wakes up, the first thing he does is to sign in to the anti-human system.

"Ding, sign-in successful, daily rewards obtained: Strength +1000, Agility +1000." The mechanical voice of the system rang in Chen Fei's mind. He had become accustomed to this daily routine.

However, things seem a little different today.

Just as he was about to continue his new day, the system suddenly issued a rapid prompt sound.

"Ding, the system is being upgraded, please wait..."

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, then showed a hint of joy.

System upgrades usually mean bigger surprises are waiting for him.

So he sat quietly by the bed, patiently waiting for the system to change.

Time passed little by little, and the progress bar of the system upgrade finally reached the end.

A dazzling light burst out from Fade Chen's body, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.

"Ding, the system upgrade is complete and has become a task system." The system's voice sounded again, but this time it was obviously more majestic and solemn.

Chen Fei was delighted and immediately checked the functions of the new system.

The new system not only retains the original sign-in reward mechanism, but also adds a new task system.

As long as you complete the tasks issued by the system, you can get more generous rewards.

"Great! Now I can improve myself faster!" Chen Fei said excitedly. He couldn't wait to start browsing the task list released by the system.

Just then, a rapid knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Fade Chen frowned, walked over and opened the door.

I saw a strange man standing outside the door with a letter in his hand.

"Is that Chen Fei?" the man asked.

"Yes." Fade Chen nodded.

"This is your letter, please sign for it." The man said, handing the letter to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei took the letter and asked in confusion: "What is this? I haven't ordered anything."

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know what's inside, but someone asked me to give it to you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Chen Fei opened the letter and saw a bottle of medicine inside.

He picked up the potion and examined it carefully, and suddenly felt dizzy.

Then, a severe abdominal pain came from his abdomen, which made him almost faint.

"Oh no! There's something wrong with this medicine!" Chen Fei was shocked and quickly threw the medicine to the ground.

However, the pain had already made it impossible for him to stand. He could only fall to the ground weakly, groaning in pain.

Just then, there was knock on the door again.

Chen Fei struggled to raise his head, only to see Sha Zhu standing outside the door with a sinister smile on his face.

"Chen Fei, Chen Fei, I didn't expect that you would have this day, did you?" Sha Zhu said as he walked in.

"I prepared this bottle of laxative specially for you. How does it taste?"

Chen Fei gritted his teeth and did not answer.

At this moment, his physical strength had been severely overdrawn and he was no match for Sha Zhu at all.

However, he did not give up.

I clenched my fists tightly, trying to keep myself awake.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded in Chen Fei's mind again: "Ding, the host is detected to be in danger, do you want to activate the emergency mode?"

Chen Fei was delighted and said quickly: "Start!"

A powerful force suddenly surged out of Chen Fei's body, allowing him to instantly restore his strength.

He stood up suddenly and punched Shazhu.

Sha Zhu was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by Chen Fei's punch.

"You...how could you possibly..." Sha Zhu looked at Chen Fei in horror, his eyes full of disbelief.

Chen Fei looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think that your little tricks can deal with me? Let me tell you, I am not that easy to bully!"

After saying that, Fade Chen punched Sha Zhu again.

Sha Zhu screamed and fainted.

Chen Fei looked at Sha Zhu who was lying on the ground, thinking that this system upgrade not only gave him powerful strength, but also allowed him to regain his confidence.

From now on, you don't have to be afraid of anyone's threats or provocations.

In a corner of the courtyard, Chen Fei was basking in the sun leisurely, enjoying the rare quiet time.

However, this tranquility was soon broken.

"Fade Chen, eat this meal that Shazhu left for you while it's hot." Qin Huairu walked up to Fade Chen with a large lunch box in her hand, a fake smile on her face.

Fade Chen frowned slightly and glanced at the lunch box. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He had reason to suspect that the affair between Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu had long been known to him.

But I didn't expect that they would actually attack me.

Just as Fade Chen was hesitating, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Ding! Detecting that the host is facing a choice, triggering the super system!"

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.

Been waiting for an opportunity like this.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so suddenly.

"System prompt: Shazhu put laxatives in the food in an attempt to frame the host. The host has the following three choices:"

"Choice 1: Eat the food directly, endure the pain of the laxative, and gain the title of enduring humiliation."

"Choice 2: Throw away the food, expose Shazhu's conspiracy, and gain the title of being honest and selfless."

"Choice three: Give him a taste of his own medicine and secretly return the laxative to Sha Zhu. You will be awarded the title of "Extremely Smart" and a bicycle ticket."

Chen Fei chose the third option without hesitation. He was not a saint, and he would naturally fight back against this act of framing him.

"Ding! The choice is successful, you get the title of Extraordinary Intelligence, and a bicycle ticket as a reward." The system voice sounded again.

Chen Fei was delighted, this was a good thing.

In this day and age, bicycles are a scarce commodity, and a bicycle ticket is enough to make people jealous.

He took the lunch box calmly and looked at Qin Huairu with pretended gratitude: "Thank you, Sister Qin. I'll go eat it now."

Qin Huairu was secretly pleased to see that Chen Fei did not become suspicious.

She turned and left, ready to report the news to Sha Zhu.

Chen Fei found a secluded corner and opened the lunch box.

Sure enough, there was a strange smell in the food.

He sneered and took out a small paper bag from his pocket. This was the laxative powder he exchanged from the system store.

Carefully sprinkle the laxative powder into the meal and re-cover the lunch box.
