Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

After parking the car, he went straight into the kitchen on the first floor.

Take out five packets of medicinal herbs and divide them into two earthenware jars—two packets in one jar and three packets in the other.

One jar is decocted for oral administration, and the other is boiled for bathing.

More than an hour later, Lin Quan first drank a bowl of medicinal soup, then went downstairs to run hot water, and silently practiced the Dragon Elephant Imperishable Skill before the water got hot.

Then, take another pot of the prepared medicine into the bathtub on the basement floor.

The bathtub was round, about two meters in diameter and nearly one meter deep.

After soaking his feet for an hour, he got up, rinsed himself off, and wore only a pair of shorts.

After moving to the basement living room, he practiced the Dragon Elephant Indestructible Skill for a while.

My whole body ached unbearably, so I had to take another hot shower before dragging myself upstairs to rest.

"With my physique, I'm miles ahead of professional athletes."

Upon opening his eyes, Lin Quan shuddered violently, then shuddered again—and continued to tremble for more than ten minutes.

"The hidden meridian of shockwave is not yet open; the Yin-Yang internal energy is still too weak."

Once this hidden meridian, which resembles a shockwave, is opened, the shockwave talent will be truly obtained.

Once the talent is bestowed upon them, the penetrating power of the shockwave will inevitably double, and then it will naturally flow through the other hidden meridians.

Combined with his masterful marksmanship and the shockwave, his combat power leaped several levels.

After finishing his morning exercise, Lin Quan changed his clothes and drove out of Beishan Yayuan.

I found a noodle shop nearby, picked up a bowl of pickled pepper beef noodles and slurped it down, then turned the car around and headed back to Zhongjia Village.

The intelligent life form, Xiaobai, had already finished the work—the full text of "Superpowered One" had been written long ago, with over 100 million words still in the archives.

The entire novel contains over 120 million words; if one really wanted to reach the word count, hundreds of trillions of words would be possible with just a thought.

"If I publish 50,000 words every day, it will take about 2,000 days to finish the remaining manuscripts—at least five years."

Upon entering the village, I first went around to the construction site to take a look at the houses under construction, then turned to the fishpond and cast my line to fish.

The house isn't even topped out yet, and the supporting equipment for the gene therapy hasn't been built either, so things are pretty relaxed for now.

Not long after, Lin Weijun came over carrying a fishing rod, squatted down by the pond, and asked, "Any movement?"

Grandpa, Grandma, Grandpa on the maternal side, and Grandma on the paternal side were playing mahjong in the main room. The four of them sat around the table, and the sound of the tiles clattering was crisp and clear.

This fishpond originally belonged to Lin Quan's family, but was lent to his uncle for several years.

The few acres of paddy fields were also given to my uncle to cultivate for free. The family didn't grow rice; they only built two vegetable greenhouses and made a living by selling vegetables.

Want to eat fish? Lin Weijun never hesitates; he rolls up his sleeves and starts fishing.

Pay? No way—in his eyes, why should he pay money to catch his own brother-in-law's fish?

Those few acres of paddy fields, Zhong Yunyang never received a single penny of the contract fee.

"Just cast it in, hasn't bitten yet." Lin Quan took out a cigarette and handed it to his father, lighting it as he did so.

"When are we leaving?" Lin Weijun exhaled a puff of smoke.

"After summer vacation," Lin Quan pondered for a moment. "The main structure is almost finished, and the decoration will take at least a month; by the time I finish developing the gene serum, August will probably be over."

I just asked Wang Zhennan yesterday, and the complete set of equipment will take another ten days or so to be ready.

"Go out more often when you have time, and bring a girl back soon," Lin Weijun said.

"Dad, with my looks and qualifications, finding a partner shouldn't be difficult—but I'd have to pick someone who's both beautiful and smart, right?" Lin Quan replied with a smile.

"That's true." Lin Weijun nodded, then added, "But don't set your expectations too high; you're not young anymore."

Around noon, the father and son carried several live fish home, scaled and gutted them, and started boiling water in a pot.

Not long after, my eldest cousin, second cousin, and brother-in-law entered the house one after another.

"The texture is just right, it's fragrant and much better than the braised dishes in town." Lin Jiacheng picked up a piece of braised pig's ear and nodded in praise.

"Each of the three braised dishes has its own unique flavor, and they are all authentic," Lin Weijun echoed.

Zhong Yunxia wiped her hands and looked at Lin Quan: "Did you taste it?"

Lin Quan tasted all three dishes, smiled, and said, "It's ready to open."

"The storefront is all set up, and all the equipment is ready. We'll officially open for business tomorrow," Zhong Zhikai grinned.

"Then I'll open for business the day after tomorrow," Zhong Zhiqiang replied.

"We'll meet the day after tomorrow," Wang Shicheng replied with a smile.

According to the custom in Longshan County, opening a shop must include a banquet to entertain guests.

Three restaurants opened on the same day, and there weren't enough tables to eat at all.

The next morning, Zhikai Braised Food Restaurant opened its doors to customers.

Villagers temporarily took on the role of customers, flocking to the store entrance in the county town to queue up and buy braised food.

Seeing a crowd gathered around, many unfamiliar faces passing by also curiously approached and bought a few items.

After working until nearly midnight, Zhong Zhikai closed the shop and treated his relatives and friends to a lively meal.

After that, Zhiqiang Braised Vegetable Shop and Shicheng Braised Vegetable Shop opened for business in different locations in the county.

The three shops are far apart, with the closest one being two or three kilometers away.

Over the next few days, Lin Quan traveled back and forth between the three stores, giving instructions on the cooking time, adjusting the recipe, and ensuring the quality of the finished products.

"Today, all three stores sold over 10,000 yuan worth of goods, bringing in 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a day, and a steady monthly income of over 100,000 yuan. The taste, color, and aroma are all excellent, and the business will only get better and better."

Once the three braised food shops were on track, Lin Quan began commuting daily between the county town and Zhongjia Village.

During the day, he would spend time in the village talking with his father, fishing, and checking on the progress of their new house; in the morning and evening, he would return to the county town to rest and cultivate himself.

At nine o'clock in the evening, my phone rang.

Lin Quan swiped the screen, and Nie Xiaoyu appeared in the picture, wearing pajamas and smiling.

"Brother Quan, when are you coming back to Haicheng? I miss you."

"I'll go back after summer vacation," Lin Quan answered readily.

"Isn't it beautiful?" She glanced at him, then tiptoed and twirled to dance—her long legs stretched into supple arcs, her waist and hips undulating clearly, her skin as white as freshly peeled lychee flesh, swaying gently in front of the camera.

"It looks good." Lin Quan smiled.

"Can I come to Longshan to see you next month?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Okay." He nodded.

"Then you have to pick me up from the airport."

"I'll contact you by phone then," he replied readily.

The phone rang again just a few minutes after I hung up.

"Just ten more days or so, and we'll be able to live a peaceful life again."

Lin Quan felt a surge of heat in his heart and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

That graceful figure dancing spontaneously stirred a burning desire in his heart.

"Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well stimulate my hidden meridians."

His entire body's strength suddenly solidified, transforming into high-frequency vibrations that rushed straight towards the hidden meridian where his innate talent resided.

Deep within the hidden meridians, the energy that was originally as stagnant as frozen soil began to loosen and disperse in wisps, slowly seeping into the limbs and bones.

After a long while, Lin Quan collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. His eyelids drooped, and he instantly fell into darkness.

Upon waking up, I prepared medicine, took a bath, practiced the "Ten Tribulations Secret Manual," and went through the "Dragon Elephant Undying Technique."

After going out for breakfast, I got into the car and spent another half hour working on it.

Pangu, the Great God, had only practiced the visualization technique for a few months, and his internal vision was far from being mastered.

More than ten days later, the main structure of the house was completed.

According to the old custom, a table should be set up.
