Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 82, don't let it go to waste.
When the doctor asked, Shen Wei could only vaguely say that he had fallen because it was difficult to explain.

However, he did not intend to let Wang Chengpeng off so easily, so he discussed it with Sheng Guangping as soon as the doctor left.

Recalling Wang Chengpeng's prowess, Sheng Guangping instinctively shrank back. He never imagined that the seemingly gentle and weak Wang Chengpeng would be such a killing machine.

Three against one? They were actually suppressed with a wave of their hand.

In particular, the spot where Wang Chengpeng leaned on him was still throbbing with pain and covered in bruises.

Thinking this way, Sheng Guangping suddenly felt relieved of the burden of provoking Wang Chengpeng, and timidly said:

"Brother Shen, how about we just let this matter go?"

"Forget it?" Shen Wei shrieked like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, saying:

"He kicked me like this, and you think you can just let it go?"

"Although I only need three months of rest to recover, do you know what kind of miserable life I have to endure during those three months?"

"And don't forget, my right hand was also injured so badly because of him."

Looking at the arrogant Shen Wei, Sheng Guangping sighed and said, "But why don't we let him go?"

"You can't beat them in a fight, do you want to get beaten up again?"

Even though Shen Wei's body was still throbbing with pain at the mere mention of being beaten, it didn't stop him from being defiant. He immediately gritted his teeth and said:
"What kind of fight is this? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would fight?"

"Call the police! We're calling the police!"

"After being beaten like this, the police will surely stand up for us."

Sheng Guangping: ...? ? ?
He felt he had so much to say, but ultimately found himself at a loss for words, and could only helplessly say:
"Brother Shen, have you forgotten that we were the ones who robbed you first today?"

"If you really call the police, they might not necessarily arrest anyone."

“Originally, we could have just gotten hurt and that would have been the end of it. After all, Wang Chengpeng didn’t know who we were, so he probably wouldn’t have called the police.”

"But if we call the police, wouldn't that be putting ourselves in danger?"

Sheng Guangping felt that he should deal with Shen Wei less in the future, as the man seemed a bit dim-witted.

I've seen people call the police to arrest others, but I've never seen anyone call the police to arrest themselves.

Sheng Guangping's words left Shen Wei speechless. He kept stammering "but," but in the end, he couldn't come up with a coherent answer.

Finally, Shen Wei said in an extremely aggrieved tone, "So, we'll just let this matter drop?"

Sheng Guangping nodded vigorously and said, "This matter can only be left like this."

"If you want revenge, you can do it another time."

"This kid is incredibly skilled; we can't make a move without being absolutely certain of our success."

After a long silence, Shen Wei sighed and said, "Let's go back. Staying in the hospital isn't a good idea."

"But you have to find me something to sit on before we go back, otherwise I'm really afraid my manhood will be damaged by the bumps."

"Use it as a pad?" Sheng Guangping's expression immediately turned strange, but in the end he said nothing and went out to find something.

……

Leaving aside the tragic fates of the three, Wang Chengpeng had already ridden his bicycle home early.

Without the clueless people around, Wang Chengpeng's driving skills are good enough for him to make eighteen turns on a muddy road.

Because Wang Zidong didn't come yesterday, I fell behind in my studies, so I need to work harder today.

Perhaps feeling he had gotten a good deal on bicycle refurbishment, and with Wang Chengpeng tutoring Wang Zidong every day, Wang Zidong didn't come empty-handed today. He brought some pork, flour, and eggs, and even brought some maltose for Wang Meiyan.

With Wang Chengpeng nodding in agreement, Liu Chunhua finally accepted the gift with a smile. It's unclear when exactly, but Wang Chengpeng had gained considerable influence in the family.

Although the family doesn't lack these things, it's a gesture of goodwill from Wang Zidong's family, and Wang Chengpeng shouldn't refuse it.

If he really refused Wang Zidong's offer, the other party probably wouldn't dare to come to his house for tutoring again.

As expected, after seeing Liu Chunhua put the things away, Wang Zidong breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his previous cheerful demeanor.

After two hours of studying, Wang Chengpeng finally had time to do his own thing.

However, today he didn't study the tape recorder, nor did he repair the radio or electric fan. Instead, he took a set of tools and started carving wood.

Proficiency +1, Proficiency +1, ..., Proficiency +1!

With the help of the "Heaven Rewards Diligence" system, Wang Chengpeng's carving skills became increasingly proficient.

While it might not be enough to carve any masterpieces, it would certainly be no problem to make small items.

With Wang Chengpeng's efforts, a small wooden box was soon created.

Just then, Wang Zidong looked over and asked with great curiosity:
"Pengzi, why are you carving a wooden box?"

"It's so small and square, it's really hard to tell what it's for."

Without explanation, Wang Chengpeng just smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, you'll know what I'm doing after I'm done."

"Soon, you'll know very soon."

Through Wang Chengpeng's efforts, he carved several very special openings into this small wooden box, as if to fit a unique design of a certain place.

Not only that, Wang Chengpeng also made two round holes in the middle of the wooden box.

With the addition of the small rotating disc that Wang Chengpeng had previously carved, what he was making was already quite obvious—a cassette tape case!

Wang Chengpeng naturally needed to put in some effort to make use of the magnetic strips he had previously obtained from the scrap yard.

Fortunately, the wisdom of the working people is boundless.

By fixing the still-intact magnetic strips onto the rotating wheel, and with Wang Chengpeng's turning, assembling, and installing, a wooden cassette tape was quickly completed. Wang Zidong, watching from the side, was dumbfounded and exclaimed:
"Pengzi, you have this skill?"

"It's really hard to believe that something so exquisite was made by a grown man like you."

"Tell me honestly, you don't actually know how to embroider, do you?"

Wang Chengpeng glared at Wang Zidong and said irritably, "No one will think you're mute if you don't speak."

"Do you feel there aren't enough homework assignments and want more?"

"Okay, I'll give you five more practice problems today."

Amid Wang Zidong's wails, Wang Chengpeng fiddled with the cassette tape he had just made.

However, when he turned the wheel, he found it a bit stiff. Clearly, although the wooden wheel was usable, it was not easy to use.

Furthermore, they may wear down over time until they are completely damaged.

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Chengpeng thought to himself that even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.

Despite possessing exceptional skills, he was unable to break free from the constraints imposed by the materials.

The only thing we can do is polish the wheel as much as possible to make it rotate more smoothly.

After making several more sets of reels as backups, Wang Chengpeng soon had several cassette tapes with unknown contents.

Thinking this, Wang Chengpeng turned his gaze to the tape recorders he had brought back.

If I can repair one of them, will I be able to find out the contents of those tapes?
