Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

Yucheng Industrial Group, No. 9 Residential Area.

Xu Damao pointed and asked, "Shazhu, do you know what we're installing?"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes: "Idiot Mao, it's just installing surveillance cameras, isn't it?"

Xu Damao added, "Shazhu, I heard that surveillance cameras will be installed at every intersection and in every residential area."

He Yuzhu said, "It's good to install surveillance cameras. There will be cameras everywhere. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will definitely not be able to escape!"

The crime rate in Daxia was already very low, and the crime-solving rate has improved significantly after the satellite network was established.

With the installation of surveillance cameras, Da Xia's crime rate will surely drop again.

Xu Damao changed the subject: "Shazhu, how about we play a few rounds of Counter-Strike online?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Sure, let's play together after lunch. Or, how about we come to my place for a meal?"

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

After lunch, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu used their respective computers to play Counter-Strike online.

Even the most basic computer configuration is more than enough for office work and gaming, and it's very cheap; you can buy a set for 500 yuan.

The minimum wage in Daxia is fifty yuan. With a little effort, you can get promoted and earn one hundred yuan.

In addition to salary, there's a seniority bonus of five yuan per month for each year of service. There's also a high-temperature allowance when the ambient temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, and bonuses for making corresponding contributions...

The wages are high, the benefits are good, and the basic cost of living is very low. As long as you are willing to save money, you can save money.

Many people don't have much savings, mainly because they've bought relatively expensive items.

All are solid wood beds, but poplar solid wood beds are the cheapest, pine solid wood beds are more expensive... mahogany solid wood beds are the most expensive.

Small-leaf sandalwood, large-leaf sandalwood, rosewood... Phoebe zhennan trees, although the planting scale has increased, the number of trees felled each year is limited, and their products are expensive.

In the world of courtyard houses, the daily necessities of ordinary people are very cheap, but the variety and quantity of high-priced goods are increasing.

September 26, 9:00 AM, Beicheng Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Qin Huairu, who was at work, suddenly felt excruciating pain and cried out involuntarily.

Seeing his wife's appearance, Qin Youde quickly went over and asked, "Huai Ru, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu said weakly, "Brother De, my stomach hurts."

Qin Youde took leave and took Qin Huairu to the hospital.

After receiving Qin Huairu's test results, Qin Youde completed the hospitalization procedures and took out his phone to call Xiao Dang.

"Dad, I have to go to work and take care of the child. Could you ask Huaihua to look after Mom for a few days? I'll send the child to my in-laws' house first."

"Okay, I understand."

With mixed feelings, Qin Youde hung up the phone and then called Huaihua.

Xiaoqian got married last year, and Huaihua got married last year.

"Dad, I'm over six months pregnant, and there's still a lot to do at home..."

Sensing Huaihua's reluctance, Qin Youde felt conflicted.

Qin Youde and Qin Huairu's eldest son, Qin Guodong, is nine years old this year, and their second son, Qin Guoliang, is seven years old. Both of them are in elementary school, so it is clearly inappropriate for them to come to the hospital to accompany them.

Upon learning that neither of her two daughters wanted to come to the hospital to take care of her, Qin Huairu felt a pang of resentment and cursed them as ingrates.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua were unwilling to come to the hospital to take care of Qin Huairu for four reasons: first, they were both married; second, there was no benefit in coming to the hospital to take care of Qin Huairu; third, Qin Huairu and Qin Youde favored Qin Guodong and Qin Guoliang; and fourth, they were not short of money now.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua both work in a textile factory. Xiao Dang earns 200 yuan a month, and Huaihua earns 150 yuan a month.

Including their husbands' income, both families have a monthly income of over four hundred.

The prices of various ingredients have not increased for many years, but wages have increased significantly, making life easy and happy.

In the North, the preference for sons over daughters is very common. For the Qin family, Xiaodang and Huaihua, who have married out of the family, are not as important as Qin Guodong and Qin Guoliang.

Unable to obtain their parents' savings, neither Xiao Dang nor Huaihua wanted to take care of Qin Huairu.

According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, both men and women are obligated to support their parents.

Xiao Dang has ample reason to take care of the child.

The locust flowers have been blooming for several months now, and there are good reasons for that.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua believe that even if they have to support their parents in the future, they can just give them some money every month.

With no one to take care of his wife Qin Huairu, Qin Youde had to take leave and travel back and forth between the hospital and the courtyard house every day.

Qin Huairu underwent surgery at the hospital and stayed there for several days before returning to the courtyard house.

The courtyard house now only has eight households, making it somewhat deserted.

After the Tangcheng earthquake, many ancient buildings were demolished and rebuilt. Although the exteriors looked the same, the houses were actually bigger and sturdier.

When Qi Bing was investigating the northern city, he learned about the Qin family's affairs, but he was not surprised.

In the TV series, Xiao Dang and Huaihua are both ungrateful wretches, and in this world, Xiao Dang and Huaihua are also ungrateful wretches.

......

Upon entering the Xuanhuang World, Qi Bing set up a time barrier next to the Chaos Tree Sapling.

He focused wholeheartedly on cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, the Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique, the Profound Yellow Body Refining Technique, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique, and the Carefree Secret Manual.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Skill and the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill are derived from the Nine Revolutions Profound Primordial Skill.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique of the Chaotic Universe is the main cultivation method of the Great God Pangu.

The Nine Revolutions Primordial Technique cultivates the primordial spirit and belongs to the category of spirit-refining techniques.

The Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique tempers the body and is a body-refining technique.

The renowned Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is roughly equivalent to a weakened version of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

Inside the time barrier, Qi Bing cultivated for several months, but his cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit failed to break through.

Dispelling their gloom and breaking the time barrier, the Qi soldiers arrived at the mountain villa.

After practicing his marksmanship at various locations and eating lunch prepared by Luo Yuzhu, he returned alone to the courtyard house.

"After a while, I'll be able to advance another level."

With nothing to do in the afternoon, Qi Bing, on a whim, decided to go fishing by the river.

He called his father-in-law and rode his electric scooter straight to where his father-in-law and his friends were fishing.

Upon arriving at their destination, Qi Bing took out several packs of cigarettes and gave one to each of his father-in-law, master, and Liu Haizhong.

Three anglers often fish together.

Qi Bing chose a fishing spot with a water depth of about two meters, took out a titanium alloy surf rod, prepared some bait, and began to fish casually.

The effects of regular bait are mediocre; he bought commercial bait instead.

He didn't use homemade bait because he didn't care about the catch.

Using homemade bait, the catch often reaches tens or even hundreds of kilograms.

If you use your inner spirit to cheat, you can catch tens of thousands of catties of fish in an hour without any problem.

Fishing and chatting, before we knew it, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Qi Bing laughed and said, "Old Liu, how about coming to my house for dinner tonight?"

Liu Haizhong politely declined, saying, "Let's skip it this time, maybe next time."

The group parted ways, and Liu Haizhong drove back to Residential Area No. 9.

Qi Bing, Qin Chu, and Liu Yongfeng drove back to the villa.

Qi Zhengwen and Qi Zhengwu both studied at Yucheng Industrial School and lived in the school dormitory from Monday to Thursday.

The two children weren't home, so including the master's family, there were ten people eating dinner that evening.

Qin Weihua, the son of the master and mistress, often ate at their house.

Qi Bing made a dish of stir-fried dried pork with chili peppers and a dish of old duck soup with pickled radish...

Freshwater farmed large yellow croaker, freshwater farmed abalone... freshwater farmed geoduck has long been a common food ingredient.

Many seafoods that originally grew in the sea have been successfully farmed on a large scale in freshwater.

Seafood, which was originally relatively expensive, has become a hot pot ingredient after it was started to be farmed in freshwater.

After dinner, Qi Bing and Liu Xiaoqian returned to their room and practiced their martial arts again.

Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was October 28th.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the system's pleasant and melodious voice rang in Qi Bing's mind again.

"Congratulations on becoming a level 38 human."

Silently reciting the sign-in message, with a so-so harvest, Qi Bing entered the Xuanhuang World and stepped into the Humanity Xuanhuang Tower.

After looking at the countless orbs of light, Qi Bing casually grabbed one.

The invisible energy transported him outside the Human Dao Xuanhuang Tower.
