Siheyuan, my new life

A strong urge surged within Adams-Joseph. He really wanted to have a good fight with those arrogant guys from the school's free-fighting team right now. Although he hadn't had a real fight yet, he could clearly feel that he could easily crush five or six of his former selves right now. However, he had another extremely important thing to do: check in with the "God's Favor System." A line of light gold text kept flashing on the system interface, constantly reminding him that he had one more chance to check in today, and failure to do so would be considered a voluntary waiver.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Adams-Joseph began his first sign-in of the day. A flash of brilliant golden light appeared, and a large expanse of pale gold text reappeared on the system interface in his mind: Congratulations to God's faithful disciple for your first sign-in! You have received a critical hit bonus, gaining Blessing Points, 100,000 US dollars (20-denomination), 100,000 US dollars (100-denomination), one Qy1001 laser pistol, one set of Qy3001 nano armor, three Qy7035 nano surveillance robots, and Qy8802... One dose of gene serum, one dose of Qy8803 gene serum, and one dose of Qy8804 gene serum (the gene serum in the beginner's gift pack is Qy8801, which is a level one gene serum. Ordinary humans can only continue to take Qy8802 gene serum after taking it for one year and waiting for the serum to be fully absorbed. After that, they can continue to take level three and level four gene serums every six months to one year. Only humans who have taken level four gene serum are qualified to undergo testing and become interstellar warship reserve personnel after passing the test.)

After looking at all the rewards he received for his first sign-in today, Adams Joseph was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble. For an ordinary person, two hundred thousand US dollars would definitely be a huge fortune. However, he didn't really care too much about it. After all, his family had hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth. As one of the third-generation heirs of the Joseph family, he received nearly one hundred thousand US dollars in dividends from the Joseph Farm every year. In addition, his family provided him with monthly school expenses. To be honest, Adams Joseph had never lacked money since he was born.

As a passionate young man who loves hunting, Adams Joseph has a great fondness for all kinds of firearms. He even has his own gun room on the farm, which houses a collection of the world's most famous guns. Fortunately, he lives in the money-driven Bald Eagle Federation, where most things can be solved with money, so buying some firearms is definitely not a difficult task.

Ignoring the "God's Favor System," Adams-Joseph couldn't contain his excitement and directly retrieved the Qy1001 laser pistol from the system space. As the thought flashed through his mind, a delicately designed pistol with a light gray body and a length of more than 20 centimeters appeared in his palm.

To Adams Joseph's utter astonishment, the moment he gripped the pistol, he immediately sensed that the laser pistol was made entirely of some unknown material. He had been learning to use a pistol since he was six or seven, under his grandfather's tutelage, and had collected most of the world's most famous firearms. While he wouldn't call himself a firearms expert, he had certainly spent considerable time researching them. Yet, with his vast knowledge, he couldn't even recognize the material of this laser pistol, weighing less than 500 grams.

However, now was not the right time to continue studying this laser pistol, and Adams-Joseph quickly walked out of the villa.

There is a 10-meter-long open space between the villa and the gate, surrounded by an iron fence. The lawn is now withered and yellow. On either side of the gate, there is a poplar tree, as thick as an adult's thigh, which is known as the state tree of Kansas.

Adams-Joseph stepped out of the villa, and after a moment's thought, he aimed his laser pistol at the ground not far away. As he gently pulled the trigger, a faint blue light flashed, almost imperceptible, and a small hole, about the thickness of a finger, appeared on the originally withered lawn, with the grass around the hole scorched black.

Adams-Joseph quickly walked to the small hole and squatted down to examine the scene before him. After getting the laser pistol, he couldn't wait to test its power. Although he had used many pistols, he knew nothing about this high-tech product that he had never encountered before. He originally wanted to test fire at the poplar tree at the gate, but out of caution, he fired a shot at the ground in front of him first.

In the instant he gently pulled the trigger, Adams Joseph felt almost no recoil, only a very slight slurring sound.

Adams-Joseph curiously picked up the thin iron rod he had grabbed from the villa's entrance and gently inserted it into the small hole, intending to measure its depth and thus make a preliminary assessment of the laser pistol's power.

Unfortunately, even after inserting the meter-long thin iron rod into the small hole, it still hadn't reached the bottom. Adams-Joseph touched the smooth, hard soil on the hole's wall with his fingers. Clearly, the high temperature released by the laser had scorched the soil on the hole's wall into a glassy state in just an instant.

Although he couldn't measure the exact depth of the small hole, Adams-Joseph's face showed a look of surprise. It seemed that only professional shooting ranges could test the true power of this laser pistol. However, as a high school student at Kansas State University, Adams-Joseph was certainly smart enough. Although he hadn't heard the Chinese saying "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime," he knew very well that he couldn't let anyone know that he possessed the "God's Favor System." Otherwise, even if the Joseph family had billions of dollars, they wouldn't be able to protect him.

Slowly standing up, Adams-Joseph turned and walked towards the villa's gate. He wanted to go back and carefully study the "God's Favor System" he had acquired. Just by conducting a preliminary test of the laser pistol's power, and recalling the powerful effects of the Qy8801 gene serum he had taken before, he had already clearly realized the extraordinary nature of the high-tech products he had obtained today. Thinking of the nano-armor and nano-monitoring robots in the system space, he quickened his pace.
