The factory workers were getting off work one after another.
Lin Xiao returned to the courtyard from the factory.
In the courtyard, she bumped into He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, who were returning home from work together.
"My mother-in-law is in jail now. Are you happy?”Qin Huiru glared at Lin Xiao furiously!
She looked wronged, as if Lin Xiao had done something to her.
" If I remember correctly," Lin Xiao said coldly," it was your family who provoked me first. What? Are you planning to complain first?" You guys are really shameless!"
He Yuzhu could not stand it anymore. You could scold him, but you definitely could not scold Qin Huairu!
He snorted coldly." Lin Xiao, are you considered a man? Bullying an orphan and a widow? What kind of ability is that?!"”
"Go clean your toilet and stop looking for trouble!”Lin Xiao retorted.
He Yuzhu was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to rush up and beat Lin Xiao up.
But…he couldn't win!
He was tall and strong, but he couldn't beat Lin Xiao, who looked like a gentleman. He felt like he had eaten so much for nothing!
Why is Lin Xiao so strong?
He felt helpless in his heart, but he still said coldly,"Lin Xiao, your character is really bad. How dare you bully an orphan, a widow, and a weak woman. Just you wait, I won't let you off!”
"Where did that barking come from?" Lin Xiao shook his head and walked away, ignoring the idiot.
He sighed.
The people in this courtyard house had too many problems!
In the future, he should hurry up and change his place of residence!
It was a pity that the current house could not be traded. Where he lived depended on the allocation. Otherwise, he would have moved out long ago.
He wondered if the researchers at the Institute of Biology would assign him a new residence.
She really didn't want to continue living in this messy courtyard house.
He continued to walk home.
He bumped into Xu Damao on the way.
Xu Damao came forward and said,"Lin Xiao, come to my house for a drink tonight. I've made chicken stew."”
Silly Zhu was his mortal enemy, and now that he had suffered losses under Lin Xiao's hands, Xu Damao felt very happy.
Now, not only did Shazhu lose his job in the kitchen, he was also kicked out of the workshop and had to clean the public toilets for a month!
When Xu Damao thought of this, he would wake up laughing in his dreams at night.
Therefore, he felt that Lin Xiao was a good person to befriend!
He wanted to build a good relationship with Lin Xiao. Maybe he could be useful in the future.
"I have something to do at home tonight, so I won't be going. Thank you for inviting me, Big Brother Xu.”Lin Xiao said, but he was cursing in his heart.
This Xu Damao was not a good person. He was purely a sinister person.
However, no matter how devious he is, can he be more devious than me?
The reason why villains were called villains was because they were humiliated by others. But on the other hand, villains also had their own advantages. Otherwise, they would have been played to death long ago.
Lin Xiao looked down on Xu Damao from the bottom of his heart. It wasn't because he was a villain, but because Xu Damao wasn't very smart!
If Xu Damao was smart enough, Lin Xiao might have befriended him. Smart people were very useful.
But you're not smart enough…
So please go play in the mud by yourself!
When he had tricked He Yuzhu yesterday, Xu Damao had jumped out to mess things up and almost ruined his plan.
It was better to keep a respectful distance from such unintelligent villains. Don't ever become teammates with them. Otherwise, who knew when you would be tricked by them!
However…
Now, this Xu Damao did not come to provoke him.
Therefore, he did not need to pay attention to him!
Just stay away. There's no need to make enemies.
He already had enough enemies now. It was annoying to have so many enemies. It was quite troublesome to scam people, wasn't it?
Therefore, he did not care whether Xu Damao was a villain or not. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him. As long as he did not cause trouble for him, it was fine.
"Brother Lin, you have something to do tonight. That's really unfortunate. It's my fault. It's my fault. I didn't ask you in advance. How about this? When you're free, you must tell me.”Xu Damao said.
Lin Xiao nodded his head, his heart filled with disdain.
Why did Lou Xiao'e marry such a bastard?
In Lin Xiao's eyes, Xu Damao's wife, Lou Xiao'e, was probably the only kind person in the courtyard.
However, his background was not good.
They couldn't get too close to each other, or they would be implicated.
……
Xu Damao returned home in a huff.
"Didn't you say that you would invite Lin Xiao over for dinner today?”Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao drinking alone and asked in confusion.
Xu Damao snorted." Lin Xiao doesn't like us. He said he had something to do tonight. What could he have done? It's just an excuse!" He just looked down on me. One day, I'll teach him a lesson!”
Lou Xiao'e knew that her man was petty, so she persuaded him,"Didn't we not help Lin Xiao when he was down and out? You're still mocking me behind my back! Now that he's rich, it's normal for him to not be willing to come to our house for dinner, right? Why are you angry with him? Can't you just slowly get along with him in the future?”
Xu Damao downed a small cup of wine in one gulp and said with the smell of alcohol,""What do you mean? He looks down on me, so do I have to rush up and curry favor with him? You just wait and see. Sooner or later, I'll let Lin Xiao know what happens when he looks down on me!”
Xu Damao felt that he had invited Lin Xiao over for a drink today, but Lin Xiao didn't even give him any face. This was a slap to his face!
Lou Xiao'e sighed. She knew that she couldn't persuade Xu Damao, so she didn't say anything else.
"Silly Zhu looks down on me, Lin Xiao, you look down on me too, just you wait!”Xu Damao drank too much and fell asleep on the brick bed. Before he fell asleep, he was still mumbling.
This was a typical villain.
It's normal for me to look down on you when you're down and out! But you're rich now. I'm already smiling at you. If you don't accept it, you're looking down on me. Absolutely not!
……
Lin Xiao had never thought that Xu Damao would hate him for rejecting his invitation.
However, even if he knew.
He did not care.
Enemies were like lice on the scalp.
If you hate me, then hate me!
There are many people who hate me. Who do you think you are?
If you dare to cause trouble with me, I'll kill you!
He opened the door and went home.
Lin Xiao released the little shrew from his pocket.
When he got home, the little shrew was immediately excited and ran around the house. It ran to Little Silver and chirped in front of him, asking for credit!
I helped Master today, and Master praised me!
Brother Silver, you're sunbathing at home all day and can't even help Master. You can't do it!
Unfortunately, the two little fellows, one was a shrew and the other was a silver ring snake. They could not communicate with each other because of the language barrier.
Cooking.
Eat.
Sleep.
The next morning.
At six o'clock sharp, he collected the daily rewards from Little Shrew and Little Silver.
He didn't get any more skills. He only got four yuan, some wild eggs, and a rusty wrench.
Lin Xiao held the broken wrench and was speechless. Why did the system reward everything? What was the use of this thing?
He felt helpless.
The skills given by the system were very good.
However, the actual rewards given by the system were a little strange.
This was because the actual rewards were all ownerless items in nature. If one was lucky, they might be rewarded with a few pieces of Kobold's Gold. If one was unlucky, they might be rewarded with a pile of sh * t!
However, he was not in a hurry. He could receive the daily reward every day anyway. He would take it slow and there would always be a time when he was lucky.
After breakfast, he let Little Silver continue to look after the house while he took the little shrew to Shichahai.
He went to ask those old men fishing to see if they had any channels to borrow cameras.
Before she walked out of the courtyard, she bumped into Director Wang from the street office.
Chief Wang was holding a one-meter-tall wooden sign. When he saw Lin Xiao, he quickly said,"Lin Xiao, it's a good thing I came early, otherwise I would have missed you.”
"Chief Wang, are you here to see me?”Lin Xiao asked.
"Aren't you raising snakes for biology?" Chief Wang nodded. That glass box is very precious. I was afraid that someone who didn't know would ruin your plans again, so I went to get someone to get you a sign.”
He placed the wooden sign on the ground and saw that it read-
" The Northern City Institute of Biology's secret place. There are precious materials inside. Anyone who steals them will be severely punished!》
Chief Wang knew that Lin Xiao had a strong background. The reason why he spent money to get this sign was to build a good relationship with Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao looked at the sign and smiled.
Putting this thing at the door of his house, wasn't this equivalent to having no money here?
He was clearly telling the thief that he had something good in his house. Come and steal it!
However, this was Chief Wang's intention after all. He was also very satisfied with this sign. He smiled and said,"Thank you, Chief Wang."
"What are you thanking me for? It's a small matter. If you have any trouble in the future, just look for me. When we're free, let's find a place to drink.”Chief Wang said.
"Alright, I'll buy you a drink when I'm free." Lin Xiao smiled and nodded.”
When Xu Damao, who was passing by, heard this, his face instantly darkened.
What did he mean?
I invited you to drink, but you didn't come!
You're in a hurry to treat Chief Wang to a drink!
Good boy, you're just stepping on my face. Just you wait!
He hated Lin Xiao even more.
Lin Xiao saw Xu Damao, but he didn't pay much attention to him.
He walked forward and helped Chief Wang carry the wooden sign home. They placed it at the door.
Looking at the wooden sign, Lin Xiao felt that it was still lacking. He then said to Director Wang,"Chief Wang, can you add another line of words for me below this?”
"Isn't this a simple matter?" said Chief Wang. What do you want to add?"
Lin smiled and said,"Write 'There's poison in it, and you'll die if you touch it'!"”
Chief Wang was shocked when he heard this.
But thinking about it, it was probably Lin Xiao's way of scaring people. This way, the thief would not dare to steal anything.
Therefore, he picked up a brush and wrote this sentence on the signboard.
……
He chatted with Chief Wang for a while more.
He sent Chief Wang out.
Lin Xiao also left the courtyard house.
He bought a few boxes of the big front door from the supply and marketing cooperative and went to Shichahai.
"Little Lin is here."
"The Fishing King is here!"
"Brat Lin, what brings you here?”
As soon as he arrived, a bunch of old men noticed him and greeted him with smiles.
Although Lin Xiao had only fished in the Shichahai area once, he had become famous.
The kind that was famous.
Through word of mouth, all the old men who were fishing in Shichahai knew him.
Even if some people had never seen him before, they were still curious about him!
Lin Xiaoxiao walked up to him, opened the front door, and scattered the smoke.
Lin Xiao looked around the crowd and didn't see Old Wu. It seemed that Old Wu didn't come to fish today.
Although Uncle Wu was retired and liked fishing, he must have other things to do on a daily basis. It was impossible for him to come here every day to fish.
The old men took the cigarettes and lit them. They were all very happy.
"I heard from Old Man Wu that your cooking is very delicious. You're now a Level 8 chef.”An old man asked with concern.
Lin Xiao smiled gently." The district has already assigned me a job. I'm now a chef in the kitchen of the Third Rolling Mill!"”
Lin Xiao felt bored when he mentioned work.
He could raise poisonous pets and collect daily rewards every day. Even if he stayed at home every day and did not work, he would not starve to death!
But that wouldn't do!
In this day and age, if you didn't work and could live a stable life, you would definitely be treated as a spy and checked.
Therefore, even if the things in the factory were annoying, he had to go to work.
"The master chef of the factory is amazing!”
"You're only in your early twenties, but you're already a chef. Your future is boundless!”
"Powerful, powerful!"
"The kitchen is a good job. You don't have to worry about your future. Oh right, kid Lin, you don't have a girlfriend yet, right? I have a niece. Do you want me to introduce her to you?”
"Old Man Wang, stay away from me. My niece is far away from me. Lin, I have a granddaughter. I'll introduce her to you.”
The old men were all talking at once.
They had a good impression of Lin Xiao and thought he was a good guy.
Now that he heard that Lin Xiao was working in the kitchen, he became even more enthusiastic.
"Lin, since you work in the kitchen, why did you sneak out today?" An old man asked. Did she skip work? This is not good!"
"That's right. Don't skip work and work honestly!”
"Since you have a job, you have to calm down.”
"I asked for leave from the factory today because I wanted to ask for help from everyone."”
"You want our help?"
"If there's anything you need, just say it. As long as we can help, it's fine.”
Lin Xiao said," Sigh, I've been assigned to the Third Rolling Mill again. I used to work in this factory. I have a grudge against our Deputy Factory Manager Li, and this Deputy Factory Manager Li happens to be in charge of the kitchen. I'm afraid he'll make things difficult for me!"”
"Kid Lin, is that the bastard surnamed Li you mentioned before?”
"You're back at the original factory?"
"This Li guy again? You already have a grudge against him, he definitely won't let you live a peaceful life!”
Some old men who had never been here before asked what was going on.
Some people started to explain, saying that in the past, Deputy Factory Manager Li's behavior was improper, and Lin Xiao was brave enough to be blamed by this Li…
Immediately, many people were furious.
"This Li guy is really something!”
"Brat Lin, you're working under that Li guy now, you must be careful!”
"What's the use of being careful? Even if Lin kid does his job obediently, what can we do if that Li guy deliberately makes things difficult for him?”
"If you ask me, we should teach this Li guy a lesson!”
"Lin brat, since you asked us to help, it means that you already have an idea, right? What do you plan to do?"
"I'd like to ask if anyone can lend me a camera," Lin Xiao said. I want to borrow a camera. When that Li guy does something bad again, I'll take a photo of him! If he reported it to the security department, with the photo, there would be evidence. There would be no way to deal with Li!”
"This method is good!" Many old men nodded!
"Let's see what he can do with conclusive evidence!”
Someone else sighed.”
"Nowadays, even the newspaper offices don't have many cameras. They treat them like treasures and it's difficult to borrow them easily.”
"The news agency treats cameras like their wives. Just touching them is like taking their lives. It's indeed difficult for you to borrow a camera!”
Everyone was a little depressed. Suddenly, someone said,"Isn't Old Zhu's son working in a newspaper company? You can ask him when the time comes."
"Yes, there might be a way to find Old Man Zhu's son.”
Lin Xiao was looking forward to it.
"I reckon that Old Man Zhu will only be able to fish after a while. When he comes, we'll put in a good word for you."”
"Alright, thank you, masters." Lin Xiao quickly thanked him.
"What is this!"
"It's a small matter!"
While waiting for Uncle Zhu to come fishing, Lin Xiao taught these old men how to fish.
After about an hour.
A well-dressed old man came to Shichahai to fish.
He was the Uncle Zhu that everyone was talking about.
Lin Xiao had never seen him before.
However, the old men around him were familiar with him. Immediately, they greeted Old Zhu and went forward to talk to him about borrowing the camera.
A group of old men spoke up for Lin Xiao, and Old Zhu didn't refuse. He just said,"Lin kid, I can't make the decision to borrow the camera, but I can help you pass a message to my son. Whether it's okay or not, we have to listen to him.”
"Thank you." Lin Xiao quickly said.
Old Zhu said," Alright then. I'll go back and talk about this tonight. I'll tell you tomorrow whether it's a success or not."”
Lin Xiao nodded and promised to see him tomorrow.
Well, he had to take another day off.
Lin Xiao was not in a hurry to leave after the matter of borrowing the camera was settled. He continued to teach the old men fishing in Shichahai.
He felt quite good.
This group of old men had hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and they had a strong background!
It seemed that he would have to come to Shichahai often in the future to build a good relationship with the masters and run his fishing gang well!
……
At noon.
Red Star Third Primary School.
"Awesome, go back and open your piggy bank. Don't forget to buy me a popsicle this afternoon.”After school, the little fatty Zhiqiang said to the stick meme. He was still thinking about his popsicle!
The stick guy took on the responsibility and said with a righteous look,"Zhiqiang, don't worry. When I go back and unlock the door, I'll definitely buy you a popsicle.”
Yesterday afternoon, he went to Zhiqiang's house to learn how to pick locks from Zhiqiang's father.
The other party asked him if he planned to learn locksmith theory and how to make locks, or if he just wanted to learn simple lockpicking skills.
The meme felt a headache when he heard the theory.
As for forging locks, he was even more unwilling to learn.
He simply wanted to learn how to pick locks.
So he told the uncle that he just wanted to learn how to open the lock of the piggy bank.
When the locksmith heard this, he said directly,"Why don't you bring the piggy bank over and I'll open it for you?"
He couldn't bring Lin Xiao's door over…The stick meme lied and said that the piggy bank was too big to carry.
The locksmith thought that the child was worried that he would steal his money, so he didn't say anything more. He then asked the boy what kind of lock was on the piggy bank.
The stick paused for a while and did not say anything.
Fortunately, Zhiqiang's father was a locksmith. There were many kinds of locks at home. He asked the stick to find the lock among the locks.
After searching for a long time, he finally found the same lock as Lin Xiao's door.
Hence, the locksmith uncle taught him how to open this kind of lock.
The stick meme felt that he might really have the talent to learn how to pick locks.
In less than an hour, he actually learned how to open this lock!
At that time, the meme thought that he might be a genius locksmith!
Red Star No. 3 Primary School was dismissed.
The stick immediately ran home.
School ended earlier than the factory.
Besides, Lin Xiao was a cook in the factory, so he had to work late.
Therefore, he wanted to go back as soon as possible. Before Lin Xiao got off work, he wanted to unlock Lin Xiao's house and steal the snake.
They arrived at Lin Xiao's house.
He looked at the sign at the door.
He had already gone to school, so he naturally knew how to read. Although he did not know many words, there were no uncommon words on the signboard. He knew all of them.
He read the words on the signboard." This is a confidential place for investigators at the Northern City Institute of Biology. There are precious materials inside. If anyone steals, they will be severely punished!" There's poison inside, and you'll die if you touch it?"
"Poison?" He was shocked, but after taking a closer look, he smiled."Who is Lin Xiao trying to scare?”
He had carefully observed that the first sentence on the wooden token was carved with a knife, and the sentence behind it,'There is poison in it, and you will die if you touch it', was written with a brush!
The last sentence was obviously written by Lin Xiao himself to scare people!
The stick looked at the lock on the door and laughed."Lin Xiao, I've mastered the Lockpicking Skill. Your little broken lock can't stop me!”
"When I steal that snake, I'll see how you explain it to the biology institute. I'll compensate you to death!”
He quietly observed his surroundings.
After realizing that there was no one around.
Then, he took out a wire from his pocket.
He passed it through the keyhole.
He fiddled with the copper lock with the iron wire for a while, and with two cracking sounds, the copper lock was actually opened by him!
"I'm really a genius!" The stick guy laughed.
Then, he pushed open the door and entered.
In the glass box of the house, the silver ring snake was quietly lying on the ground and basking in the sun.
The stick's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed!
He walked over, opened the glass box, and picked up the silver ring snake.
