As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw the old man Yan Bugui squatting at the door waiting for someone to come and beg for alms. When he saw Liu Ping'an coming back with something in his hand, he couldn't wait to get up and greet him.

"Hey Ping An, what have you been doing today? What are you holding in your hand? Do you want Uncle San to help you get it?"

Well, it’s still the Third Uncle’s style. If Third Uncle wasn’t wearing his glasses with one leg broken off, Liu Ping’an would have a hard time telling the difference between Yan Bugui and Pian’er Ye.

He laughed and handed the duck rack in his hand to the third uncle.

"Nothing. I went to Quanjude with my friends to eat roast duck this afternoon. There was a leftover duck carcass, so I packed it up and brought it back. If you like it, I'll give it to you. Just consider it as a thank you for helping me yesterday."

Yan Bugui said, "I feel so embarrassed," but his hands were not slow at all. He caught the duck carcass, said thank you and went home.

As if he was afraid that Liu Ping'an would regret it the next second.

After returning to his courtyard home, Liu Ping'an lay on the bed but did not feel sleepy at all.

I was thinking about how I should spend my future life. Should I go out and find a job? Or should I stick to my winemaking business and open a small winemaking workshop in my house in Zhengyangmen?

I thought about it carefully, but still couldn't figure it out.

I am a young man who has been lying low in the 21st century, but suddenly I came to this era and I know nothing.

Although he also had a small world and a proficiency-enhancing panel given by the strongest sign-in system, it had only been ten days since he traveled through time and space, and he had fled all the way here. Apart from his body becoming a little stronger after practicing, he had not learned any real life and survival skills at all.

After traveling through time, other people either enjoy a good life or become immortals.

Although this system of mine can be used to cultivate immortality, you have sent Liu Ping'an to the wrong place.

After the founding of the country, it is not allowed to become a spirit. Although there is a world tree and a spiritual spring given for signing in in your dream space.

When he first came here, after inheriting the "Ten Thousand Thoughts into Soldiers" and obtaining the materials for cultivation, Liu Ping'an was so happy that he practiced in seclusion for several days. After he directly condensed two life artifacts - the King's Treasure House and the Tai Chi Diagram, he was almost overjoyed.

He delusionally imagined that he could fly to the sky and become an immortal after standing up from the ground.

But the little bit of spiritual energy that leaked out just now was almost sucked dry by this mother earth.

Fortunately, the World Tree suppressed his own energy, so he did not turn into a mummy and die. All the way to the Fourth Nine City, his body recovered under the nourishment of the World Tree and the spiritual spring.

Later, after communicating with the World Tree, I finally understood the truth - it is not allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the country.

The Earth has truly entered the Dharma Ending Age. The spiritual energy in the atmosphere depends entirely on the daily nourishment of the sun, moon and stars. We absorb as much as we can. If we want to practice, there is basically no chance.

Water flows to the lowest place, and the same is true for spiritual energy. As long as Liu Ping'an dares to use the magic power he cultivated after opening up his Dantian, it will be absorbed by the mother planet like water released from the Three Gorges Dam.

The purple palace between the eyebrows was fine, with the World Tree suppressing it, so the spiritual energy did not leak out. However, although the Tai Chi diagram in his Dantian had a high upper limit, it was a little difficult to suppress now.

Anyway, it is impossible to practice. If nothing major happens in this life, it is estimated that I will never be able to cultivate magical powers in this lifetime.

In the end, I had no choice but to practice the Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique in the Body Refining Chapter and use this poor spiritual energy to strengthen my body and nourish my body. I hope that 2000 years later, when I am almost 70 years old, I can still happily go up and down the second floor of the foot massage parlor.

(ps: To sum up, the protagonist's cheat code in this first volume - Sijiucheng Chapter is just a world tree space and a proficiency panel that can only increase physical points. In the future, I will no longer describe the cheat code and the protagonist's cultivation in detail. I will return to the plot, which is still based on the Siheyuan world.)

My thoughts have gone astray. I should think about this for a while. Should I go out to find a job tomorrow or build a winery to brew wine?

After thinking it over carefully, I decided to find a job and do it well. If you can get a decent formal job in this city now, it is no exaggeration to say that the matchmaker will knock down the door of your house for you.

Of course, except for the protagonist of our courtyard - Shazhu.

In this era, the best jobs among ordinary people are definitely the eight types of jobs - salesperson, driver, postman, childcare worker, barber, projectionist, cook, and art troupe member.

Recalling that there were only two of the eight members in this small courtyard house No. 95, Sha Zhu's cook and Xu Damao's projectionist.

No wonder Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe were still so extravagant after their divorce. Only Shazhu, like his father, was trapped by a widow for his entire life.

Actually, no matter how stupid this Shazhu is, he can cook very well and has never suffered any loss in this 95 courtyard.

Maybe he is just a lowly person who is greedy for the body of a widow.

However, from the perspective of Liu Ping'an, the only one who can maintain its value in the future is the member of the cultural troupe. This is the profession in Yu Hua's dream. Why do a large group of them walk around the streets every day, and call it "collecting folk songs". Unexpectedly, Yu Hua finally succeeded. He entered the cultural center he had always dreamed of working in.

However, the truly popular career is still the cadre position, which is the end of the universe.

Didn't you see that Sun Liancheng, the district chief of the Universe, confronted the municipal party committee leader in person at the review meeting and nothing happened? He also fulfilled his dream of seeing the stars. His position was reduced, but his benefits were not reduced at all.

It's a pity that a time traveler like me with no background and no education has no hope in this era.

By the way, most of the beasts in this compound are employees of the steel rolling mill. The steel rolling mill has just been merged into a joint venture between the public and private sectors, and it was not until 56 that the eighth-grade worker system was implemented in the city. If I enter the factory now, it won't be easy for me to become an eighth-grade worker in the future based on my proficiency level.

The fast lathe operator, the slow fitter, the lazy electrician, and the shameless welder. Oh, and there's also the forger who swings a hammer in the backyard. These are the most promising jobs in the steel mill.

At that time, machine tools were not as advanced as the CNC machine tools of later generations, and some high-end parts were still made by hand. This is why netizens in later generations joked about hand-rolling nuclear bombs and hand-rolling submarines.

A senior technician can basically walk around the factory with all his might. The reason why Yi Zhonghai, the uncle in this courtyard, is so arrogant is because he relies on his status as an eighth-level fitter in the factory.

But after thinking about it, I decided that being a lazy electrician is more suitable for me now.

The knowledge I learned in high school physics is enough for me to apply for the job of electrician, and I also watched videos on wiring tips on TikTok when I had nothing to do. If I use just a little bit of it now, it might be a dimensionality reduction attack.
