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

After completing all the formalities, Qi Bing spent several hours a day reading in the library and practicing martial arts in the Xuanhuang World. He ate his three meals a day either outside or in the Xuanhuang World.

Now that you don't need a ticket to buy a bicycle, and he has plenty of money, he bought a 28-inch bicycle.

Around 5 p.m., Qi Bing rode his bicycle back from the library.

Yan Bugui, who was standing at the door, laughed and said, "Qi Bing, you went to the library to read again? You go to the library to read every day, are you trying to get into university? Wait a minute, didn't you not even finish high school?"

Qi Bing casually said, "Old Yan, I'm just browsing. Reading more books is better than being idle."

Having never received education on blind loyalty and filial piety, he did not have the habit of randomly recognizing elders.

Yan Bugui is thirty-three years old this year, only fourteen years older than him, and he has no desire to be Yan Bugui's junior.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home from get off work, he saw the two chatting and stopped, smiling, "Qi Bing, you went to the library to read again?"

Qi Bing nodded: "Yes, while I'm off work, I should read a few more books; I'll need them later."

Yi Zhonghai asked, "Qi Bing, are you nineteen years old this year?"

Qi Bing replied, "Yes, I'm already nineteen."

Yi Zhonghai said gently, "You're nineteen years old already, why don't you find a job? If you'd like to work at a steel rolling mill, I can help you find someone to introduce you to a job there."

Qi Bing politely declined, saying, "Old Yi, there's no need to trouble you."

Qi Bing was fully aware of Yi Zhonghai's plans.

After his master left the courtyard house, what else could he be but an excellent caregiver for the elderly, having been born an orphan himself?

Yi Zhonghai, who was eager to provide for people in their old age, was by nature suspicious and would definitely want to find as many people as possible to support him.

Compared to Jia Dongxu, Qi Bing has neither a father nor an unreasonable mother, making him more suitable for retirement.

Compared to He Yuzhu, Qi Bing has no parents and no younger sister, giving him a significant advantage.

Yan Bugui interjected, "Old Yi, my son Jiecheng is still unemployed. Could you help him out?"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but want to curse, and said irritably, "Old Yan, Yan Jiecheng is only twelve years old this year, you want him to go to work?"

When Liu Haizhong came home from get off work, he heard that Qi Bing had spent the whole afternoon reading at the library. He couldn't help but say, "Qi Bing, read more books and try to get into a vocational school. My Guangqi got into a vocational school. Once he graduates, he can become a cadre."

Liu Guangqi, who is sixteen years old this year, was admitted to a vocational school in Beicheng a little over a month ago.

When Liu Haizhong learned that Liu Guangqi had been admitted to a vocational school, he was extremely excited and felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.

In this day and age, it's harder to get into a vocational school than to get into a high school.

There are subsidies for vocational school students, so they hardly have to spend any money themselves, but they have to pay for high school themselves.

Vocational school graduates are guaranteed job placement; they can be placed in technical positions and become technicians, or in administrative positions and become cadres.

"Old Liu, I'm going to the library to read some books, just browsing casually. I have no intention of taking the vocational school entrance exam."

"Qi Bing, you're not going to take the vocational school entrance exam, why are you still going to the library to study? Isn't that a waste of time?"

"Old Liu, you're never too old to learn. Read more books; you'll need them later."

"What's the use of reading countless books in the library if you don't graduate?"

"Old Liu, getting a diploma isn't that hard. Just acquire the relevant knowledge, attend a night school, pass the exams, and you'll get your diploma. In your steel rolling mill, education is a very important factor in selecting cadres."

"Qi Bing, come on, let's go to my house for a couple of drinks and talk about selecting cadres."

Liu Haizhong, who had always wanted to become an official, noticed that Qi Bing knew a lot about being a cadre and wanted to find out more.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Qi Bing politely declined and instead spoke to Liu Haizhong about becoming an official.

In his view, becoming a team leader and workshop director in the steel rolling mill was not very difficult.

If there are enough apprentices in the workshop, and their skills are good enough, then there is a solid foundation of support. Those with at least a junior high school education can generally become team leaders or workshop directors.

After last year's large-scale literacy campaign, many people in the Xia Kingdom have a certain level of literacy.

Liu Haizhong, who graduated from primary school, has now enrolled in night school and will be able to obtain his junior high school diploma in about three years.

Comparatively speaking, among Xu Fugui, He Daqing, Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Bugui, Qi Bing felt that Liu Haizhong had the best character.

Yan Bugui, a small business owner in the drama, was the first in the courtyard to buy a bicycle, radio, and television, which is enough to prove that he had a lot of money. On the surface, he treated his children equally, but in reality, he was too calculating towards them.

Yi Zhonghai, obsessed with elder care, is stingy with the elderly, has an excessive desire for control, and is scheming in both overt and covert ways.

He Daqing is selfish, lecherous, and reckless. If he really cared about his children, why didn't he take them with him when he left Beicheng?

Sending money back every month was merely a backup plan that He Daqing had set for himself.

If He Daqing doesn't send a single penny back, and when he gets old and can't earn money, he'll be kicked out of his home by his stepson in Baocheng. He Yu and He Yushui in Beicheng probably won't take care of him in his old age.

Xu Fugui was a scoundrel and selfish; no one in the courtyard could get anything from him.

Every time Xu Fugui returned from showing a movie, his bicycle would be laden with local produce, but no one in the courtyard would get a single bit.

Why should I share my things with my neighbors?

These days, it's common to occasionally share something with your neighbors so they can have a taste.

It's normal to be reluctant to part with valuable things, but to share a little of worthless things.

The problems that Liu Haizhong has are actually common to most people.

Why not beat Liu Guangtian with Liu Haizhong's hair? Liu Guangtian, who has poor grades and gets into trouble outside, should be beaten up instead of being kept alive for the New Year.

What's controversial is that every time Liu Haizhong hit Liu Guangtian, he never explained to the other party why he was hit.

In the drama, Liu Haizhong reports the Lou family and leads a team to raid the Lou family. Putting aside the historical context, what else can be called his words and actions but being a hooligan?

Donating money to help students go to university, standing up for justice when Xu Damao's hen was stolen, and teaching his apprentices without reservation—these are all shining qualities of Liu Haizhong.

In Qi Bing's view, apart from being unable to speak properly and liking to put on airs, Liu Haizhong had almost no moral problems.

Getting too close to Yi Zhonghai could lead to him scheming against you in your old age.

If you get too close to Xu Fugui, he might try to take your family fortune.

If you get too close to Yan Bugui, he will take advantage of you sooner or later.

A few compliments and flattery about Liu Haizhong can easily bring him benefits.

After serving in the army and fighting the enemy for several years, Qi Bing, who became the leader of a division, would naturally not lower himself to get entangled with his neighbors in the courtyard.

If he were an ordinary person, a transmigrator without a system, he would most likely praise Liu Haizhong, take the opportunity to scheme for benefits from him, and might even go so far as to support Yi Zhonghai in his old age.

In the drama, Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter at a steel rolling mill. If you take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age, you can get a house and money, and there is even a very small chance that you can get money and a house from the deaf old lady.

After chatting idly for more than ten minutes, Qi Bing opened the gate next to him, pushed his bicycle, and walked into the east courtyard.

He lived in the east courtyard not only for the luck power dropped by the film and television character, but also to upgrade his human race level.

If it weren't for upgrading his human race level, he wouldn't be living in the East Wing; he would have moved into the Xia Army compound long ago.

Locking the gate to the east courtyard, Qi Bing entered the Xuanhuang World.

Xuanhuang Manor, Martial Arts Arena.

Qi Bing practiced Dragon Roar Iron Shirt and Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover for a while, and practiced Xingyi Five Elements Fist with sweat pouring down his face.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Bing stopped, overjoyed; he had broken through.

"I achieved the Gang Jin realm, which countless martial arts masters dream of, in just over three years."

Being a level ten human alone gave him ten times the cultivation potential of a level one human.

Since ancient times, scholars have been poor while warriors have been rich.

Having possessed the Xuanhuang World, he could consume more medicinal herbs from the Southern Jambudvipa than he could ever finish!
