Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

After waking up, I went to the restaurant to check it out, spent money to buy the storefront of the second branch, contacted the renovation team, and recruited staff in advance.

After a busy period of about a week, a new time-travel world, "Born in the 70s," appeared.

"I haven't actually watched this TV series before; I'll have to study it carefully."

After finishing his work, Su Li went home and watched TV behind closed doors. He knew from the title that it was about that period. He watched episode by episode and found that the content didn't match the title. The whole show was so unrealistic that it made his teeth ache.

Yang Fan, the male lead in the drama, seems to think he's handsome and doesn't care about anyone, always with a cold face... Yet this rich woman still chases him from south to north and helps him non-stop. In the end, she's even willing to sell her property to raise money to help him pay off his brother's debts. But when he meets the female lead, Tan Yanfei, he becomes a sycophant.

The second male lead, Qi Zhansheng, is tall and incredibly arrogant, even more so than Yang Fan.

The third male lead, Wang Xiaobing, is rather ordinary. He comes from an ordinary family, has a tragic past, and faces many hardships and setbacks.

Su Li decided that once he got there, he would definitely toughen up the two people in front of him. They were even more pretentious than him, which was really annoying.

"It wasn't easy to get by in the 70s. You had to eat and drink a lot, and safety wasn't a concern. After the reforms, starting a business required preparing some documents in advance..."

Su Li gathered all the necessary supplies, locked the door and turned off the power as usual, and began her journey.

……

The sky over Yanbei is as clear as a mirror, with leisurely white clouds. Under the sunlight, the city is well-organized and not very industrialized. People in the streets and alleys wear very simple clothes in monotonous colors, without anything too bright or fashionable.

Early in the morning, when factories are starting work and students are going to school, a pair of sisters with short hair and pigtails squat on the curb in a rather unrefined manner, chatting idly.

"Sis, why hasn't he come yet?"

"Wait a little longer, I've observed that he arrives at school around this time almost every day..."

Guan Dahong clutched the envelope in her hand, her bright eyes darting around. Finally, the person she had been longing for appeared.

He was riding a 28-inch bicycle, a rare sight among students. He had fair skin, a handsome face, and although his clothes were simple, his demeanor was striking. He was chewing something in his mouth.

When Guan Dahong saw the person coming, she quickly got up and walked to the middle of the road, blocking the handsome young man riding a bicycle.

"Big Red, what are you doing now?"

Su Li chewed gum and looked at the girl blocking her way. She was wearing an old-fashioned thermal top and trousers, with a slender figure and a clean and neat pretty face. Overall, she looked alright.

"Here you are, a love letter!"

Guan Dahong wasn't shy at all and handed it over to him generously.

"As I said, I'm currently focused on my studies and can't give you an answer right now."

In the original drama, Guan Dahong was in love with Qi Zhansheng, but after he came to this world, he was not only more skilled in fighting but also more handsome and talented. This cunning woman unsurprisingly took a liking to Su Li.

"I know it's not possible now, but it can be later." Guan Dahong was that bold.

Su Li took the love letter and stuffed it into the gray satchel he was carrying. He thought to himself, if it weren't for the special circumstances of the year, he would have already slept with Guan Dahong. Why would he waste his breath on her?

His gaze swept over her younger sister, Guan Xiaoyu, who was quite beautiful.

She was a little short, but petite and delicate, with a ponytail and a curvaceous figure. Even though she was wearing a plum blossom-patterned coat and gray pants that didn't match her looks, her beautiful appearance was still undeniable.

"Hello, Xiaoyu!" He nodded to the girl and greeted her.

Guan Xiaoyu smiled sweetly: "Hello, Brother Su! Your recent novel is super good. I love Princess Nihuang the most. She's heroic, dignified, and skilled in both literature and martial arts..."

That's right, Su Li has been fleeced again. In order to earn pocket money, she has to go back to her old profession from the first world: writing novels.

Guan Dahong quickly chimed in, "Su Li, you're really talented! How do you come up with so many imaginative stories? My dad told me that the royalties you receive each month are more than his salary."

"It's alright, barely passable. Let's talk as we walk, it's almost time for class."

As they were talking to the two sisters, the three of them walked together to the classroom door. Suddenly, a tall boy rushed up from behind and bumped into Guan Xiaoyu, who was not paying attention. The latter clutched her arm in pain.

"Qi Zhansheng, did you bump into someone?" Su Li shouted to the boy who had already taken his seat. He was just average-looking, but tall and strong, and looked like someone you didn't want to mess with.

Qi Zhansheng saw that it was Su Li who spoke and snorted, "What do you want me to do?"

"Apologize!" Su Li pointed at Guan Xiaoyu.

Qi Zhansheng glanced at the two sisters and shook his head: "It's her own fault for not paying attention, what does it have to do with me?"

"Everyone saw it, are you blind?" Su Li said coldly, mocking the other party who wouldn't listen to reason.

With a loud bang, Qi Zhansheng stood up abruptly, like an enraged bull, and glared at Su Li.

"What, you want to hit me? Your two brothers haven't even arrived yet. Do you think you can last one second or ten seconds against me by yourself?"

Su Li looked at the other party with a mocking smile. He had clashed with this trio of protagonists more than once. He could easily beat all three of them with one hand. Once, Qi Zhansheng even called over his uncle Qi Weiguo, but he was still beaten to a pulp by Su Li.

Yang Fan and Qi Zhansheng were his targets for trouble. What was Qi Weiguo anyway, daring to cause him trouble? He had already made up his mind that he would send that old bastard to prison to eat free prison food as soon as he had the chance.

Qi Zhansheng was breathing heavily, but he still didn't dare to make a move. He was as stubborn as a mule, but that didn't mean he was brainless. He had never won a single fight with either side, and afterwards, he would feel excruciating pain in any place, whether he was injured or not.

So once a conflict occurs, he learns to be more cautious and avoid physical violence if possible.

"If you're not going to fight, then apologize. Standing here like this isn't going to work." Su Li urged the other party lazily, her nonchalant expression quite irritating.

But some girls thought he was cool; only he could keep Qi Zhansheng, that stubborn mule, from uttering a sound.

"No need, Brother Su, I'm fine." Guan Xiaoyu said softly. In the entire high school, only Su Li was not afraid of Qi Zhansheng. Everyone else was afraid of him. She tugged at Su Li's sleeve and went to another classroom.

"You're lucky."

Su Li snorted and walked past Qi Zhansheng. Guan Dahong, who was following behind him, liked his back more and more.

As class time approached, students filed in, including Yang Fan. He tried to strike up a conversation with Qi Zhansheng, but the latter remained silent, looking displeased.

"What's wrong now?"

After sitting down, Yang Fan asked his deskmate and immediately understood the reason for the situation. He glanced at the handsome and imposing boy over there, frowned, but was helpless.

In a fight, none of them could beat him. Relying on his father was useless. Qi Zhansheng's father had tried to cause trouble after learning that his son had been beaten, but he was immediately taken to the police station and scolded. He almost lost his manager position. He was even less capable than Qi Zhansheng. I don't know what kind of family background he has.

This guy was like their nemesis, constantly pressing down on them.

After three classes in the morning, two students walked in through the door of the last class and placed a pure white sculpture on the desk. Then a woman in a bright red suit, fashionable and elegant, with long flowing hair, bright eyes and white teeth, and a tall figure, walked with a breezy air, leaving all the students below stunned.

"Class is starting, please be quiet."

The woman placed her hand on the desk, looked at everyone, and introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Tan Yanfei. Tan is the character for 'swallow,' Yan is the character for 'swallow,' and Fei is the character for 'fantasy.' I am your temporary art teacher for this class."

After being reprimanded, Qi Zhansheng was in no mood to speak, and the teasing scene from the original drama was gone. The atmosphere in the classroom naturally became very quiet, and everyone listened attentively.

After Tan Yanfei finished her self-introduction, her beautiful eyes swept over all the students present. When she noticed Su Li, her eyes showed slight surprise, mainly because the other party's temperament and appearance were too outstanding, like a firefly in the dark.

She clapped her hands: "Let's begin the lesson. My first question is, does anyone know who this sculpture belongs to?"

Yang Fan, who was almost instantly smitten with Tan Yanfei, was the first to raise his hand: "He is Galileo."

Tan Yanfei smiled gently, her gaze sweeping over the sculpture, and said in a clear and melodious voice, "It does resemble it somewhat, but it's not."

Yang Fan's face stiffened, he gave an awkward laugh, and didn't say anything more.

Su Li raised her hand, and Tan Yanfei gestured for her to speak: "This male student, please answer!"

"It is a Moses statue created by Michelangelo for Julius II during the Italian Renaissance. The original is said to be in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican in Rome."

Su Li spoke eloquently, having done extensive research before coming to this world.

But the others didn't know that everyone was looking at them with surprise, and Guan Dahong's eyes were shining brightly, her admiration evident.

Tan Yanfei was taken aback, not expecting that someone could actually guess it. She then smiled and said, "This student is right. Now I will begin to introduce it... Look at this statue. It has a pair of god-like horns, muscular arms with beautiful lines, and prominent veins on its hands. Although it is just a statue, it is still very full of life and is a crystallization of humanistic thought."

Guan Dahong raised her hand and said, "Teacher, I don't understand anything you're saying. Isn't art class just about drawing?"

Just as Tan Yanfei was about to speak, Su Li interrupted her, saying, "Teacher Tan means that by painting this sculpture, everyone can improve their aesthetic sense. Not everyone can become a painter, but it can cultivate a fashionable eye and appreciation ability... Teacher, you must be a designer, or someone who studied design."

Tan Yanfei was stunned. She hadn't expected this young man to be able to see so much. She nodded and said, "This student is right. Teacher, I do indeed aspire to become a fashion designer, and I'm still in the learning process. By the way... I don't even know your name yet!"

"Su Li, Teacher Tan, please remember, my name is Su Li."

"A good name. Su means strong and positive life, while Li means high wisdom and bright and radiant."

Tan Yanfei did indeed write down the name; the boy's appearance and knowledge impressed her greatly. Yang Fan, watching the two talking, felt extremely displeased and quickly raised his hand, saying, "Teacher, my name is Yang Fan!"

Tan Yanfei didn't care about him and nodded to indicate that she understood.

Next was everyone's drawing time. Everyone was busy at their own desks. Tan Yanfei walked back and forth in the classroom with her hands behind her back, looking at everyone's paintings. She stopped next to Su Li.

Looking at the other person's drawing, she was more and more surprised. The pencil sketch alone was so exquisite and lifelike, much better than what she could draw herself.

"This boy doesn't look very old, how come he's so good at drawing? Could it be a talent?"

If Su Li knew what she was thinking, he would definitely laugh. Ghost's talent, having experienced many worlds, means that things like calligraphy and painting, which can be honed through sheer hard work, are all top-notch in his eyes.

As for writing poetry with one's head, that's not feasible for now.

Tan Yanfei bent down slightly, leaned closer to examine the painting closely, and said softly, "Su Li, it seems you have a real talent for drawing. Is it something you've learned through practice?"

Su Li nodded silently, finished the last stroke, blew the pencil dust off the white paper, and handed it to Tan Yanfei.

"Not bad, quite good. If the maximum score is 100, I would give you 99 points, because there is no perfect 100-point painting."

Tan Yanfei reached out and brushed her bangs to one side, holding the drawing paper in her hand, and smiled, "Can I have this?"

"Of course, no problem."

Su Li's goal was to attract her attention, and now that he had achieved that, the more contact he had with her, the better.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Yang Fan looked at his own drawing and thought it was utterly worthless, which made him extremely unhappy.

After the class ended, Tan Yanfei left the classroom on her own, and Yang Fan quickly followed behind her.

Su Li didn't care when she saw it. Now that Yang Fan's looks and talent were overwhelming, any closer he got would only increase Tan Yanfei's disgust. The more a sycophant licks, the more repulsive he becomes.

After a day of classes, school was over, and Su Li was riding her bicycle home when Guan Dahong, who had rushed out from behind, called out, "Wait! I need to talk to you!"

Su Li stopped her bicycle and waited for her to come over. She asked, "What is it now?"

Guan Dahong gripped his backpack straps with both hands, his eyes sparkling, and said with a smile, "It's still early, let's go for a stroll around the neighborhood!"

"No, I have things to do!"

The real reason Su Li didn't want to go was that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would drag Guan Dahong home and seduce her.

"Next time?"

Su Li didn't answer, but waved her hand, letting her guess for herself. She rode all the way back to the residential area where there were guards. The security guard in the guardhouse looked up at her, came out, opened the door, and handed her the envelope.

"Xiao Li, it was sent from Yanjing."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang..."

In this life, his family background is much worse than in the previous world, but he can still be considered a local high-ranking official's son, with considerable power. Otherwise, he would have had to consider finding Cai Mei, the rich woman in the drama who likes handsome men, to make his first living.

They all came from poor families and often couldn't even get enough to eat. Yang Fan's father was a senior teacher and his mother was an accountant. Qi Zhansheng's father was a manager of a large shopping mall, and they all had quite good incomes. Only Wang Xiaobing's parents were factory workers, and they were the worst off. If he fell down once, he would be in dire straits. In the original drama, he even gave up going to university for a job in the factory. This shows that he had no choice.

His parents died early in this life, and he was raised by his grandfather, maternal grandfather, uncle and some other relatives. He was only given a house to live in after he went to high school.

I turned the key, pushed open the door, and went inside. It was clean and tidy, and the window facing out let in rays of the setting sun...

The assigned accommodation is small, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. There are public bathhouses for men and women, which are much better than those outside. There is also a supply and marketing cooperative in the community, which has all the basic necessities.

But apart from buying some basic rice, flour and oil, Su Li had everything else in the space. The snacks, canned food, cured meat, drinks and alcohol could feed him for two or three months even if he were trapped in the cave and wouldn't starve to death.

I casually tossed my schoolbag aside, went to the kitchen, heated up the oil in a wok, took out Spanish ham, greens, scallions, hard-boiled eggs, chili peppers, etc., stir-fried them, then added two packets of instant noodles. Before long, the fragrant instant noodles were ready.

"Oh, and another Coke... It's a shame there's no refrigerator, otherwise a frozen one would be best."
