Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Zhou Jianguo was speechless after hearing what Xu Changping said. After a long while, he sighed helplessly and said:

"If I knew you lived in a compound, I would have thought you lived in a den of wolves."

"It's a den of wolves, that's a very accurate description."

Xu Changping laughed and shook his head.

"Okay, don't be angry, eat and try my cooking."

Zhou Jianguo has a frank and straightforward temper. Seeing Xu Changping like this, he no longer bothered with those people.

Xu Changping walked to the stove and gently lifted the lid of the pot. First a rich aroma wafted out.

Then the golden and greasy chicken stewed with cabbage appeared in front of Zhou Jianguo.

"Wow, your chicken is really fat."

"I happened to meet you yesterday. Otherwise, if you came today, you would only be able to eat boiled cabbage."

After the two men finished their meal, Xu Changping took Zhou Jianguo to the east wing and asked him to find a book to read. The two chatted casually until around 4 p.m. when Zhou Jianguo left.

Only after watching Zhou Jianguo walk out of the courtyard did Xu Changping return home with peace of mind. He really didn't want to have conflicts with the people in this courtyard anymore. It would be really troublesome.

Lying on the bed, Xu Changping thought about what happened today and gradually felt that something was wrong. He had had two arguments with Jia Zhangshi, so why didn't Qin Huairu come out? Could it be because she was in her advanced stages of pregnancy?

If you calculate the time, Jia Dongxu died around this time.

However, why didn't Shazhu, the number one bootlicker and thug, show up? Could it be that he was doing special favors for his boss and didn't leave work?

Xu Changping decided to focus on Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu to see who is the "protagonist" between the two.

Thinking about the mess that happened today, Xu Changping felt a little tired, so he asked the system:

"System, can I move out of the courtyard?"

"Host, you cannot move out before the plot is over."

"What plot? Is it the happy ending? Then I have to live here for the rest of my life?"

"Host, when Lou Xiao'e returns, you will be free."

"Then I only live here occasionally now."

"According to the system, the host has not yet graduated. The host is allowed to study and live abroad."

"I have to live here when I have nothing to do, but I am allowed to live outside when I have something to do, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, host."

"Well, it looks like I'll have to get assigned to the Red Star Steel Mill after graduation, otherwise it'll be hard to renovate this house."

"Host, please work hard."

"What if I can't move in in the end? Are you going to kill me?"

Xu Changping asked curiously.

"Host, this system is a life-support system. You don't need to complete any tasks, just live here well. There is no option to kill you. However, if the host does not live in the courtyard, the system will no longer provide you with any help, and will also take back all the help it has given you before."

After hearing what the system said, Xu Changping slapped his lips. He shouldn't have asked this question. It would mean taking back all the help he had given before.

Doesn't that mean that he has to live in this precarious era with a body of Constitution 3 that will lead to early death? In that case, what's the use of the money left by his original body?

The depressed Xu Changping didn't want to talk to the system anymore, so he raised his left hand and summoned the system interface:

Host: Xu Changping

Race: human

Age: 16 years old

Height: 179 (still room to grow)

Weight: 62 kg (very good, you have reached the standard of being thin when dressed and having muscular body when undressed)

Physical fitness: 20/10 (Your physical fitness is already at its peak, please maintain it)

Skills: Elementary medical skills, elementary cooking skills (you only know a little bit of everything, you should learn it well)

Wanjie Interconnection Mall: Open (Come and spend if you are rich)

"Hmm? System, how come I have a new skill called basic cooking?"

"As long as the host demonstrates his skills, the system will automatically record them."

"Why did you collect this? You can't help me upgrade."

"I can't help the host upgrade, but the host can upgrade himself. After the host's skills are recorded, the books corresponding to your recorded skills will appear in the mall. The host can upgrade after learning the skills."

"Learn by yourself or have a teacher teach you like the elementary body training techniques."

"There will be virtual character professors, but they will need to collect a certain amount of points for system consumption."

Hearing this, Xu Changping quickly clicked into the Wanjie Interconnection Mall and saw a new icon next to the System Mall, the Skill Mall.

"That's not right, system. Why didn't this skill store appear when you collected my elementary medical skills?"

"Yes, but you, the host, didn't pay attention."

"Really?"

"real."

Hearing the system's decisive answer, Xu Changping had no choice but to believe that he had not noticed it.

Little did the system know that it was secretly breathing a sigh of relief. If the host hadn't asked today, it would have forgotten about this skill mall.

When Xu Changping entered the skill mall, he saw only two options: medical skills and cooking skills.

He first clicked on the medical skills column and found four options popped up: basic skills, intermediate skills, advanced skills, and special skills.

Now only the primary skill is lit, the other three are gray.

Thinking of the description of the skills on his system interface, 'I know a little bit of everything, and I need to study hard', he clicked on the basic skills.

Primary medical skills: 100 points/60 minutes

Current points balance: 62.5130w

Xu Changping thought that whether in the TV series or the novel, Li Huaide from the steel rolling mill was a sex maniac who also had an affair with Liu Lan from the cafeteria.

Li Huaide is so lustful, he must have kidney deficiency. If I can learn medical skills well and cure him, then I can have a stable job in the steel mill, and the house I live in now can be directly allocated to me.

Thinking of this, Xu Changping clicked on the basic medical skills.

After a while, a pharmacy and an old man in ancient costume appeared in front of Xu Changping.

Xu Changping thought to himself, "This is a virtual character with its own scene! No wonder it charges points."

Just when Xu Changping was distracted, the old man spoke:

"March."

"Ah! What?"

"Chun Sanyue, continue to recite. Let me see your basics."

The old man said somewhat unhappily.

"Excuse me, old sir, I don't know what Spring March is."

Xu Changping looked at the old man with a confused face.

"You can't even recite the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine?"

“I haven’t learned it.”

Xu Changping answered honestly.

"Have you memorized the "Soup Song"?"

The old man obviously didn't expect that the person he was teaching was someone who knew nothing, and the information showed from time to time that he knew some basic medical skills.

“No.”

After hearing about "Tangtou Song" and "Huangdi Neijing", what could Xu Changping not know? The old man in front of him was teaching Chinese medicine.
