Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect
Chapter 186 The turning point of fate
In the Siheyuan, it is said that debts must be repaid.
As the New Year's joy gradually faded, the steel mill was about to resume work, and Lin Xiangdong began to plan to go to Baocheng to collect old debts. He Daqing still owed him a considerable sum of money - a full 100 yuan.
The key to embarking on a long-distance journey was to obtain a travel permit issued by the unit; leaving home without this approval was a troublesome matter in that era and one might be regarded as an enemy.
At lunch, dumplings are still the staple food. Lou Xiaoe is in charge of kneading the dough and making the skin, while Lin Xiangdong is in charge of the fillings - cabbage, minced meat, two eggs, sprinkled with chives, mixed together, wrapped in the skin, and then steamed.
As the dumplings tumbled in the pot, waves of tempting aroma wafted out, attracting the greedy eyes of a group of children in the yard. At this time, even the Jia family could only barely fill their stomachs with steamed corn bread.
The current situation is very difficult for Sha Zhu - he has just experienced a financial blow and has to borrow money from everywhere: Lin Xiangdong, Yi Zhonghai and even Xu Damao are not spared. When Yi Zhonghai helped him build the walls and repair the roof, he also paid for it out of his own pocket.
Not to mention the days when he stayed at Xu Damao's house during this period - even though Xu Damao was reluctant to receive this uninvited guest, he finally compromised and took him in after much persuasion. This period of time was quite awkward for both parties.
Now that the renovation is completed, Sha Zhu can return to his warm little home, and the temporary symbiotic relationship between the two has come to an end.
If it weren't for the salary deductions and his overly generous support for Qin Huairu, and the purchase of a bicycle for He Yushui at the end of the year, Sha Zhu wouldn't have been so poor. His help is just a drop in the bucket for Qin Huairu now. After failing to get the expected support, Qin Huairu turned her attention to Lin Xiangdong, who is even richer.
After all, Lin Xiangdong's family is well-off, he is helpful, and Lou Xiao'e is also kind-hearted.
Whenever Qin Huairu complained, Lou Xiao'e would generously give her some cornmeal, but this obviously underestimated Qin Huairu's needs.
Whenever Qin Huairu asked Lin Xiangdong to borrow money, he would lend her money without hesitation and without asking for a receipt.
......
Qin Huairu only borrowed a few dimes or dollars, but when she paid it back, only a few cents were left.
Despite the debt system's support, Lin Xiangdong was not afraid to lend money to others.
For those who borrow money and don’t pay it back, Lin Xiangdong just thinks the more they get, the better.
After Lin Xiangdong and his friend finished eating the dumplings they made at home, they went out for a walk to get some fresh air.
Just as he stepped out of the door, Lin Xiangdong paused.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his mind:
[The host's high spirits points have reached 100 points]
High-spirited? It was not unfamiliar to him, but it was a little strange.
However, since even traveling through time and space can actually happen to me, it is not a big deal to have this kind of high spirits.
Lou Xiao'e gave him a confused look.
"I just remembered something." Lin Xiangdong said casually.
"What's the matter?" Lou Xiao'e showed curiosity.
“It’s work.”
After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e lost interest.
Although he appeared indifferent, he was actually absorbing the information in his mind.
After he digested this knowledge, he had a deeper understanding of this "high-spirited" feeling.
In general, having a high spirit indicates a higher status and good luck.
As long as you have 300 points, you can release the bound location.
So far, the software is only bound to this courtyard, and you cannot sign in outside the courtyard.
And the IOUs given were related to the building, and at least every borrower had been to the courtyard house.
In other words, as long as Lin Xiangdong accumulates 300 spirited points, he can unbind the program from the house and associate it with other places.
In addition, if you have 3000 high-spirited points, you can return to the original world;
Just leading others to cross the border requires 30,000 points, which is a bit of a rip-off.
From this point of view, the software has quite powerful functions.
"System, how high-spirited was I when I first traveled through time and space to come to this space?" Lin Xiangdong asked silently in his heart.
What he didn't expect was...
This time the system actually responded:
[Host's spirited points before his spirited career: 18; after entering the other world: reset to zero; the system pre-granted the host a spirited score in units of one digit, and deducted the ten-digit level points in advance.]
After listening to the system's explanation, Lin Xiangdong almost wanted to roar.
This crappy software is so unscrupulous. I only borrowed one point at the beginning, but they will withdraw ten points.
Lin Xiangdong later raised more questions to the software, although the software sometimes answered and sometimes did not respond.
This kind of communication is really tiring.
However, Lin Xiangdong understood that luck was closely related to the roots of the world; that is, the luck brought from one world to another was likely to be absorbed and provide nourishment for the fundamental power of this world.
By devouring the luck of other universes, the basic energy of the world can be rapidly enhanced. As for the creatures living in a certain world, they may bring more luck to the entire universe during their development, or conversely consume it, because things have positive and negative effects, which are the two directions of development. Everything in the world is made up of this two-way attribute.
The eighteen fortunes he had before crossing over have now been controlled by the system.
Lin Xiangdong is the one who is always on guard against the system. This caution comes from his vigilance against the unknown.
Although the system never threatened to constrain him with sanctions and appeared rigid and lacked flexibility, it was still attached to him.
If the system acts like a timing gun but is misjudged as a clock, the consequences will be unbearable.
The most crucial point is that Lin Xiangdong is always skeptical about sudden good news.
"Maybe this system is for gaining luck, and I'm just being used as a pawn." Lin Xiangdong thought to himself.
[This system does not intend to harm the host.]
"..." Hearing this, he frowned: the system knows everything he is thinking, so how can he talk about privacy?
"Then can I choose to cancel the binding relationship between me and you?" He asked the system in an exploratory tone.
[You can choose to unbind! ]
Then, more information flooded into his mind - as long as he chose to cancel the binding, the system would select a new host in the current universe and carry it across to other universes.
"system…"
For more details at the end of Chapter 78, please go to the next page.
Can you tell me who created you? Where are you from?
[300,000 pieces of luck are required to unlock relevant information]
"Well, I didn't ask."
This ruthless system is too harsh.
At present, it seems that the key is still to accumulate sufficient luck.
If you transfer the luck accumulated in the original universe to other worlds, it will be ruthlessly taken back. The best way is to use it in the world to which it belongs.
"I want to ask one more question: What is the overall fortune of this world?" Lin Xiangdong continued to ask.
[It is roughly between 800,000 and 1 million. If you want the exact value, you need to pay 88 portions of luck to know it.]
But this is contradictory. There are billions of people in the world. If each person only accounts for one point of luck, the total number should be several times more than this number. Animals and plants don't count at all?
The system responded again to the question.
After understanding the explanation provided by the system, Lin Xiangdong felt relieved.
After all, this is just a fictional space composed of the plot. In such a world, important characters in the plot will have more luck, while the rest of the individuals will have relatively little luck. According to the classification method of the system, the world also has high and low levels, and the basis for the division is also luck.
Generally speaking, judging by the number of Qi movements, the space for this type of plot construction does not exceed one millionth.
It is extremely rare to have a virtual space with millions or tens of millions of luck values.
This means that even in a virtual story universe that involves high-level martial arts or a system of cultivation, luck is relatively limited.
The more he understood this, the more headache Lin Xiangdong felt.
How can I describe this feeling? It's like when humans first stepped into the abyss of the universe, first appreciating the vastness of the solar system, then discovering the even more vast space of the Milky Way, and then the even larger Local Group and Virgo Supercluster... No matter how much we explore, we can never reach the edge of the universe.
Before leaving the solar system, looking back, we realize that our home planet is just an insignificant speck of dust in the universe; and how tiny is the life that thrives on that planet?
Therefore, sometimes it is a good thing not to think too deeply. The increase of knowledge does not necessarily mean better life choices. On the contrary, it may lead to unbearable psychological pressure.
……
One hundred talent points can be obtained through some opportunities, and now Lin Xiangdong has exactly one hundred of these opportunity points, but he is not in a hurry to exchange them for more talent points. Although the extra talent points are indeed extremely useful, Lin Xiangdong feels in his heart...
Everything is based on the original power of the universe, and the key lies in the power of fate. This shows the role of fate in all this.
All the disputes in a world are ultimately a struggle for the power of destiny. Even if the system did not express anything clearly, Lin Xiangdong could feel that the system had a need to increase the power of destiny.
Lin Xiangdong and his wife walked out of the courtyard and wandered around the alley for a while. Although some enterprises and institutions have not yet started operations, many shops are still operating normally.
After all, in the environment at that time, most shops were public-private partnerships, and most private vendors sold simple street food, such as pancakes or steamed buns.
The couple walked around the house and were about to return to their residence when they heard the news mentioned by the aunt on the third floor, that is, the eldest son of Liu Haizhong's family had returned.
