Who are you?!
The voice came from behind Ling Yi Ling Yi, startling him.
Turning around, I saw a sprightly old man with a full head of white hair.
The old man wasn't very tall, only a little over 1.7 meters, and he was quite thin.
Wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of shiny leather shoes, one's reflection can be seen in them.
With bright, piercing eyes and hands behind his back, he was scrutinizing Ling Yi from head to toe.
Ling Yi didn't recognize the old man, but he could roughly guess who he was.
This must be the owner of this small courtyard.
In his previous life, Ling Yi rented this small courtyard when he was in his senior year of high school.
So I never met the original owner of the courtyard. I heard that the original owner went to Yan City to enjoy a life of luxury with his son after he became rich.
The original owner asked a neighbor to help rent out this courtyard.
Ling Yi didn't know the specifics.
Ling Yi rented this small courtyard for a year, and during that year, Ling Yi a happy yet absurd life.
That same year, Ling Yi turned over a new leaf, studied diligently, and finally got into university.
Decades had passed since his previous life, but this year was the most memorable for Ling Yi.
The little things that happened in the courtyard are still vivid in my mind.
This is the most beautiful memory in Ling Yi's life, and also the most unforgettable one.
"Hey kid, I'm talking to you, what are you spacing out for, you idiot!" The old man waved his hand in front of Ling Yi's face when he saw Ling Yi looking lost.
Ling Yi then came to his senses and asked, "Hello, sir, I'm a student at Hanyun High School this year. I'd like to ask if there are any places to rent around here?"
The old man asked curiously, "A first-year high school student?"
"Right!"
Where are you from?
"Grandpa, I'm from Red City Town!"
"I can't rent it to you!" the old man said, pushing open the door and entering the courtyard.
"Sir, I'm not a bad student. I just have some minor flaws, which is why I decided to rent a place outside," Ling Yi explained as he followed her inside.
The old man turned to look at him, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I grind my teeth and snore in my sleep. It's too noisy. I always sleep in my own room at home!" Ling Yi said, shrugging with a bitter face.
Ling Yi herself didn't have these problems, but Ling Yi remembered that there was a classmate in the dormitory named Bai Qian who did.
Ling Yi Ling Yi forget the names of other classmates, but he remembered this guy's name perfectly.
That guy grinds his teeth like he's chewing glass, and snores like he's running a power drill; he's a nightmare.
Ling Yi was tormented for two whole years until the class division and dormitory reassignment in the second year of high school, when he finally got rid of this torment.
This old man is clearly a man of principle; a normal reason definitely won't work.
"Haha, grinding your teeth and snoring, that's definitely a problem," the old man laughed.
"I can rent out this courtyard. It has four main rooms and three side rooms. The main rooms are 50 yuan a month, and the side rooms are 45 yuan a month."
"However, before you rent, you need to bring a certificate from your teacher. I can't rent to you without a certificate from your teacher."
"Absolutely!" Ling Yi nodded.
"So, how much did I rent this courtyard for?"
The old man looked at Ling Yi and asked, puzzled, "You've rented them all?"
"I find things troublesome and prefer peace and quiet!" Ling Yi gave his reason.
The old man didn't think much of it, "Perfect, I'm going to Yan City the Acquired. It'll save you trouble by renting it all. Just give me three hundred a month!"
"But kid, I don't do credit here. Payment is at least every three months."
"Shall we write a contract?"
"Not bad, kid. You even know you need to write a contract. But you should get the certificate from your teacher first!"
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow at noon!" Ling Yi nodded.
"Then I'll wait for you tomorrow at noon."
"Sir, my name is Ling Yi. May I ask how I should address you?"
" Yan Dahai!"
Goodbye, Uncle Yan!
Having settled things at the courtyard, Ling Yi was in a great mood. As for the homeroom teacher, Ling Yi was confident he could handle it.
However, Ling Yi still didn't go to school or return to her dormitory.
Instead, they went to a hotel not far from the school and booked a room.
After that, I went to Two Symbols Road without stopping, which is a famous snack street near the school.
It was also one of Ling Yi's favorite places when he was in high school in his previous life.
It's fine during the day, but it gets really lively at night.
Ling Yi's favorite thing to do is come here for barbecue at night.
A skewer of grilled pork belly costs 50 cents, a small pot of Potato stew with vermicelli costs 3 yuan, and 10 yuan worth of grilled skewers is enough to fill you up. Then, add a 2-yuan draft beer.
Then watching free movies was absolutely wonderful.
Of course, this movie wasn't a big-screen movie; it was just an old-fashioned television.
The barbecue restaurant owner would move the television out, place it on a high spot, and turn the volume up really loud.
Ling Yi watched the Young and Dangerous series for the first time here.
Those who didn't live through that era may have no idea how much influence the "Young and Dangerous" movies had on teenagers back then.
Dyed hair, tattoos, swearing, smoking, drinking, gang fights—whoever is toughest is the boss.
During his three years of high school, Ling Yi encountered more than a dozen group fights, ranging from a dozen or so people to more than a thousand.
Can you imagine a scene of over a thousand people fighting?
I'm not kidding, it really was a fight. That night, the police sirens blared all night long.
The young man, unaware of the gravity of his actions, injured at least fifty people that night; almost everyone involved was wounded.
Since then, the number of inspections near the school has tripled, and the inspection leaders have been going to the school once a week for six consecutive months to give legal education lectures to the students.
This incident occurred in the second semester of the second year of high school and had a significant impact. It is said that school leaders were punished and almost had to retire.
Starting from that year, Hanyun High School's annual military training program required not only freshmen but also sophomores and seniors to participate.
Moreover, the training lasted for half a month at a time.
The investigating authorities even gave this incident a name: the Hanyun High School 608 Incident.
One of the "bosses" of the 608 Incident is the boy in the picture above, who is selling steamed buns.
His name is Jin Qiang, and he is also a freshman this year. He was admitted as Longevity.
This person was not tall, only about 1.72 meters, and did not look particularly robust.
He doesn't look fierce at all; in fact, he looks rather simple and honest.
Who would have thought that this kid would become the "boss" of Hanyun High School in the future?
Crucially, after the class division in the second year of high school, Ling Yi became classmates with this "leader," and they even sat at desks in front of and behind each other.
Jin Qiang, aside from sleeping in class, seems like a fairly honest person.
He never intentionally causes trouble for others, and in front of his teachers, he is always a well-behaved child.
In fact, Ling Yi and Jin Qiang have a pretty good relationship.
It wasn't until Ling Yi witnessed Jin Qiang's actions firsthand that he realized what ruthlessness and domineering truly meant.
Of course, that happened in my previous life.
In this life, Ling Yi estimated that he would most likely have no further interaction with this person.
Ling Yi walked past Jin Qiang and stopped at a steamed bun stall next to him.
"Boss, how many steamed buns do you have left? I'll take them all!"
The shopkeeper looked at Ling Yi and asked, "Young man, you're not joking, are you?"
"Definitely!"
At this moment, Ling Yi was carrying a flour sack on his back, which was bulging with ten roast ducks, thirty sausages, and five braised pork hocks.
The total weight has exceeded 70 kilograms.
To Ling Yi's surprise, he didn't feel any strain despite the weight.
Clearly, this power is abnormal.
This must also be a benefit brought about by having a cheat code.
The owner of the steamed bun stall had 150 steamed buns left, Ling Yi took them all, also asking the owner for a flour sack.
Jin Qiang Ling Yi left carrying two large flour sacks.
In fact, he had noticed Ling Yi long ago and knew what was in Ling Yi's other pocket.
Goodness, those two bags must weigh over a hundred pounds together!
This kid can lift it up with one hand, and not only that, he can hop up the stairs, which is a bit scary.
In fact, Ling Yi had already delivered food to his hotel room three times.
This is the fourth trip.
Clearly, Ling Yi is going all out tonight.
The food weighed over 400 jin (approximately 200 kg), including steamed buns, mantou (steamed bread), scrolls, various cooked foods, and pickled vegetables.
Ling Yi ran downstairs again and bought three cases of bottled water.
If others knew that Ling Yi was going to devour hundreds of kilograms of food in one night, they would probably be scared to death.
The hotel owner also noticed Ling Yi's strange behavior and asked him a question.
Ling Yi brushed it off with a simple "I bought it for my family."
After locking the hotel room door, Ling Yi took a deep breath, focused his attention, and immediately the Baidu search page appeared in his mind.
Search: 1997 high school math, 1997 high school English, 1997 high school politics, history, geography, Physics, chemistry, biology, selected math exercises, selected humanities exam questions, 10,000 solutions to science problems...
After searching through all of these, a pocket full of steamed buns and half a pocket full of dumplings were gone.
Ling Yi discovered that as the number of searches increased, the dizziness decreased.
It wasn't just that he had adapted to the dizziness; he could clearly feel that his body had become stronger.
Eating a lot and digesting quickly is good, but digesting quickly isn't enough; it also has to be thorough.
Ling Yi guessed that it was very likely that his body was strengthened in the process of energy conversion and consumption.
Whether that's exactly the case or not doesn't matter, as long as it's a good thing.
Ling Yi thought that if he were to give his cheat system a name, it would probably be something like "The System That Gets Stronger by Eating" or "The Glutton System"?
You mean the Baidu system? That's fine, but I always feel the "idiot system" is more accurate.
Having finished searching for all the high school courses, Ling Yi looked at the food that was still more than half left and turned his attention back to the Baidu page.
Search: Music books.
Looking at the various music-related books listed on the page, Ling Yi picked out the free ones and clicked on them all.
Comprehensive guide to basic sheet music, detailed explanations of musical instruments, quick guitar lessons, piano for Entry, advanced piano lessons...
Ling Yi finished the last sausage and looked at the remaining half of the roast duck in the pocket.
Of the hundreds of kilograms of food, only these thirty roast ducks remained.
Ling Yi stood up, stretched, and his bones cracked like popping beans.
I looked at my hands again. Thankfully, I hadn't turned into Schwarzenegger.
Or rather, from an appearance standpoint, there are basically no major Changes.
That's good.
