Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 164 Ode to Joy

A white light flashed, and Lin Yuan's figure disappeared in an instant.

He didn't find it difficult to accept such an arrangement of the system.

It is certainly a wonderful thing to walk hand in hand and accompany each other until old age, but Lin Yuan does not want to watch his woman go from youth and beauty to old age step by step, and finally turn into a handful of yellow earth, and her life will wither away like this.

The heavens are vast, the worlds are vast, and there are countless rare treasures, including some that can prolong life and even achieve immortality.

Although I have left now, at the speed of a hundred years passing by, we will meet again in the future.

It’s just that I can’t help feeling a little sentimental for a while as I can’t hear those sweet daughters calling me “Dad” in their baby voices.

However, Lin Yuan quickly calmed down and turned his attention back to the present.

[Current World: Ode to Joy]

[Alternative character: None]

[Physique: LV5 (88/5000)]

【Storage space: 8 cubic meters】

It is now 2016, and Lin Yuan is living in a shared house in an old neighborhood in Shanghai.

He currently works as a network administrator for a software company. He graduated from a second-tier university in Shanghai two years ago, majoring in information security.

With both his parents deceased, he had very little money in his pocket and was barely able to cover his daily expenses.

This time, the system still assigned him a task.

Cut off at least five love lines of the five beauties in Ode to Joy, including but not limited to others' secret love, unrequited love, passionate love for the five beauties...

Mission Reward: To be determined.

Failure penalty: None.

This seems like a rhythm that is going to break up my relationship.

Speaking of the five beauties in Ode to Joy, each of them has her own little shortcomings.

Andy is so rational that she is almost cold, Fan Shengmei is vain and materialistic, Qu Xiaoxiao is sharp-tongued, Qiu Yingying is completely in love and prone to temper tantrums, and as for Guan Juer, Lin Yuan really can't think of anyone for the moment, perhaps it's just that she lacks self-confidence.

But without exception, they all have outstanding looks, and naturally they will attract all kinds of men.

The sanctimonious Director Bai, the self-righteous Qidian, the wealthy Tan Zongming, the slick Bao Yifan...

Since he was familiar with the plot, it was not difficult for him to complete the task.

But the most urgent task right now is to get money first.

As the saying goes, money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible.

Sitting in the simple rental house, Lin Yuan thought for a while, opened his laptop, tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard, quickly wrote a PoC code, and then sent it to Microsoft's vulnerability feedback email.

In 2016, Microsoft was very generous in its vulnerability rewards. As long as a critical vulnerability was discovered, a generous bonus would be awarded.

Lin Yuan had understood this a long time ago.

But in the first two worlds, he was a rich man and didn't need to rely on this to make his first pot of gold.

In fact, there were some valuable items in his storage space, and he could get money faster by pawning them, but in Lin Yuan's opinion, this was really unnecessary.

After sending the email, Lin Yuan opened Kaidian Chinese website and registered an author account - "Lin Yuan Xianyu".

Ever since his physique was upgraded to LV4, his memory has greatly improved. Now that it has reached LV5, it is no exaggeration to say that he has a photographic memory.

He also wanted to experience the joy of being a plagiarist.

It's also a way to find something to do.

Lin Yuan opened the Writer's Assistant and created a new novel titled "Lord of Mysteries".

When he first read "Lord of Mysteries", the twenty-two sequence pathways amazed him.

Moreover, "Lord of Mysteries" is the first novel to have exceeded 100,000 average subscriptions during its serialization period. Now that it is released two years in advance, the results will not be too bad.

Squid, you wrote a good Lord of Mysteries, but this novel is mine now.

In this way, he also successfully helped some readers of "The Ring of Fate" fulfill their wishes and removed Squid from the author list of "Lord of Mysteries".

As soon as the 6,000 words were published, an editor sent me a contract application that evening.

After the contract was signed, Lin Yuan continued to update 5,000 words every day without fail.

He plans to go through all the recommendations before the book is put on the shelves first, and then start the explosive update mode after the book is put on the shelves, and then give the readers a "little" shock.

A week passed in a flash, and Lin Yuan also resigned from his job as a network administrator.

Although this job is leisurely, he has no plan to continue being a "social animal" after traveling through time.

Finally, an email from Microsoft appeared in his inbox.

The official Microsoft team confirmed the severity of the vulnerability and informed him that he had received a $10 reward.

Now the money to rent a house in Ode to Joy community is settled.

Although there is a limit to what this money can do in the extremely expensive Magic City, Lin Yuan is not in a hurry. He plans to invest part of the money in the stock market first and accumulate wealth slowly.

During this period, the "Lord of Mysteries" uploaded by Lin Yuan also received quite a response.

Some readers like it, while others say they don't understand it.

Lin Yuan didn't care about it and didn't pay much attention to it. Novels are difficult to satisfy everyone. Even those works that are regarded as classics cannot be liked by everyone.

Those who like him will naturally like him, and those who don’t like him will not stay because of his explanation or retention, so just let it go.

weekend.

It was late summer and early autumn, and the weather was still hot and unbearable.

Lin Yuan walked into the Ode to Joy community and headed straight towards Building 19.

He had just inquired with the agency next to the community, and found out that there were no houses for rent on the 19st and 21rd floors of Building 23.

But this did not stump Lin Yuan.

The quickest way to rent an apartment often involves only the simplest method of communication.

But when he got downstairs, he suddenly realized that he had miscalculated.

He actually forgot that the Ode to Joy community had access control.

He found a cool place and waited for the homeowner or tenant to enter the building.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before two little girls came towards him.

A girl wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans, with black straight hair, tall figure, round cheeks, black-framed glasses, exuding a quiet and introverted temperament.

The other one was wearing a white dress with a cute pattern printed on the front waist and a light gray crossbody bag. She looked very cute and her face was full of youthfulness.

Just by looking at their appearance, Lin Yuan could already guess that these two people were Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying who lived in Room 2202.

It’s better to meet today than to wait for another day. Let’s get to know each other first.

Lin Yuan followed the two women into the apartment building.

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying were talking and laughing when they noticed someone following them in and subconsciously looked back.

After Lin Yuan entered the building, he deliberately slowed down his pace and kept a distance of about one meter from them.

After seeing Lin Yuan's handsome appearance, Guan Juer blushed slightly, and the moment their eyes met, she shyly looked away.

Qiu Yingying's face was full of smiles. She stared at Lin Yuan intently and instantly became infatuated with him. It seemed that the handsome guy in front of her was much more handsome than Manager Bai.

Lin Yuan nodded politely at them, showing a kind smile and explaining: "I came here to look for my friend. I didn't want to trouble him to come down again, so I followed you in."

Guan Juer blushed slightly, shook her head gently, and said softly, "It's okay."

Qiu Yingying also smiled and said, "Why have I never seen you before?"

Lin Yuan also responded with a smile: "I may move here in the future, so it's a good opportunity for us to get to know each other in advance. Hello, my name is Lin Yuan."

Qiu Yingying is enthusiastic and responded immediately: "Hello, my name is Qiu Yingying."

Guan Juer pushed up her glasses and said softly, "My name is Guan Juer."

Lin Yuan asked knowingly, "You two are roommates, right?"

Guan Juer nodded slightly: "Yeah." At this time, the elevator made a "ding" sound.

The three of them walked into the elevator. Qiu Yingying pressed the button for the 22nd floor first, and then she took Guan Juer's arm affectionately and stepped back.

Lin Yuan also pressed the button for the 23rd floor.

Qiu Yingying was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Your friend lives on the 23rd floor. What a coincidence! We are only one floor away. Are you going to live with your friend in the future?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and answered half-truthfully: "If it's suitable, I'll rent his house; if it's not suitable, I'll look somewhere else. By the way, have you lived here for a long time? What do you think of this place?"

Qiu Yingying said excitedly: "That's great. If I could have my own house here, I would wake up laughing in my dreams, hehe."

Guan Juer also nodded in agreement.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Since you all agree, it seems that this place is really good."

While the three were talking, the elevator had already reached the 22nd floor.

Qiu Yingying waved to Lin Yuan and said, "Bye, we'll be leaving first."

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded slightly, then pressed the elevator's close button.

The elevator door slowly closed, and Qiu Yingying sighed with a crazy look on her face: "That handsome guy just now was so handsome! It would be nice if he lived next door to us, so he could enjoy his eyes every day."

Guan Juer nodded and agreed: "Yes, and he is very polite."

On the other side, Lin Yuan walked out of the elevator on the 23rd floor and started knocking on doors every day.

No one responded to 2301 and 2302. When I knocked on 2303, I finally heard some movement coming from inside the house.

Lin Yuan had originally planned that if there was no one on this floor, he would go to the 21st floor to check.

Because he clearly remembered that at least there were definitely people living there.

The door opened, and Lin Yuan, with a smile on his face, stated his purpose directly and activated his money ability at the same time.

……

Another week has passed.

The original tenant of Room 2303 had already moved out, and Lin Yuan moved in as he wished.

The original tenant paid month by month, and there was only one week left before their current contract expired.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Yuan contacted the landlord directly and signed a new six-month lease contract.

Half a year is enough time for him to... ahem... complete the mission.

It was around six o'clock on Friday afternoon. Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, who had been troubled by the noise from renovations on both sides, were finally about to have a weekend without any noise disturbance.

Fan Shengmei was not at home. She dressed herself up beautifully and went out for a blind date.

Qiu Yingying lay on the bed, stretched lazily, and said lazily: "That's good, I finally don't have to listen to the renovation noise next door."

Guan Juer leaned against the door and suggested, "Yingying, let's go out and celebrate. Let's each have a cup of milk tea and a box of donuts."

Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up instantly, and she added excitedly: "Pack two more boxes of sushi!"

This is the experience they summed up in Shanghai: when two people eat together, they can spend less money and eat more dishes.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Guan Juer asked in confusion: "Is Sister Fan back again?"

As he said that, he quickly walked to the door and opened it.

As soon as the door opened and she saw Lin Yuan, Guan Juer's cheeks quickly flushed.

Lin Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Guan Juer who was stunned in front of him, showed a gentle smile, and asked softly: "Why, don't you remember me?"

Guan Juer was a little shy, her voice was soft, and there was a hint of nervousness that was barely noticeable: "Remember... remember."

Lin Yuan blinked and continued to tease her: "What's my name?"

Guan Juer replied in a low voice: "Lin Yuan."

At this time, Qiu Yingying heard the faint sound of conversation at the door and moved over, asking as she walked, "Guan Guan, who is that?"

When he walked to the door and saw Lin Yuan, he also showed a surprised expression, "Hey, it's you, Lin Yuan, have you moved in?"

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, handed the chocolate box in his hand to Guan Juer, and said: "This is my gift to you. I live upstairs in 2303. We will be neighbors from now on. Please take care of me."

Guan Juer reached out to take it, her heartbeat quickened a little, and even her breathing paused slightly.

The two girls said thank you in unison.

But Qiu Yingying was still a little confused: "But how did you know we live in 2202?"

Guan Juer looked at Qiu Yingying, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Lin Yuan looked at Guan Juer: "Guan Guan, can I call you that?"

Guan Juer nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Lin Yuan continued, "Explain this to Yingying."

Guan Juer said softly: "It's because the two households next door were renovating their homes before."

Qiu Yingying slapped her head and smiled heartlessly: "Oh, right, I forgot about it. Brother Lin, you are so lucky. The renovation of 2201 and 2203 next door to us was just completed yesterday."

Lin Yuan smiled and responded: "When I first came here this morning, I was wondering why the renovation noise had stopped. It seems that I am really lucky."

Then he told me why he came: "I want to go out and buy some daily necessities, but I'm not familiar with this area, so I wanted to ask you guys."

Qiu Yingying giggled: "Then you came at the right time."

Guan Juer also followed up with a conversation: "We are planning to go out for dinner."

Qiu Yingying quickly said to Lin Yuan, "Brother Lin, wait for me for a moment." Then she ran back to the room to get her bag.

Guan Juer put the chocolate on the cabinet beside her, bent her knees to change out of her slippers, revealing her white ankles and white socks, and put on her white shoes.

Lin Yuan asked knowingly, "Are you two the only ones renting here?"

Guan Juer shook her head: "No, we are three people sharing the house."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

After a while, Qiu Yingying came over with a cross-body bag and a smile on her face.

The three of them came to the corridor together, and Lin Yuan inadvertently glanced at the surveillance camera at the door of 2201.

Qiu Yingying curled her lips and complained: "There is a surveillance camera installed next door, but I don't know who they are protecting against."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile. Qiu Yingying was really a straightforward girl, with her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness all written on her face.

"Maybe she's insecure, Guan Guan, Ying Ying, if you mind, you can try to talk to her and ask her to adjust the angle. This is your right."

Guan Juer frowned slightly and explained: "But it can move. Look, it follows us wherever we go."

"You can suggest that she get a fixed surveillance camera that can only see her own door. After all, this is your reasonable request. There is no need to put yourself in a difficult position when you are away from home. Or you can install one facing the direction of her house and give her a taste of her own medicine."

When the two girls heard this suggestion, they thought it was novel and interesting at first, but when they calmed down and thought about it, they now relied on their parents for support to live in Shanghai, so how could they possibly buy surveillance cameras?

They are not the type to be troublemakers, they just feel that they are being looked down upon.

But they hadn't done anything wrong, so they didn't have any stressful reaction, they were just talking about it.

The three of them found a dumpling shop outside the community, ordered a serving of dumplings each, and Lin Yuan ordered two servings of soup dumplings.

Qiu Yingying supported her head with her hands and complained, "Now that I've graduated, I'm even poorer than when I was in college. My monthly salary of 4,000 yuan is not enough for me to eat after paying the rent."

Lin Yuan comforted them casually: "You two should have just graduated not long ago. It's normal to have low salaries when you first start working. It will definitely get better in the future."

"My company is a small one, and I don't see any hope at all. I can only hope to pass the CPA exam soon. But Guan Guan is different. She is now interning at a Fortune 500 company. Once she becomes a full-time employee, her salary will definitely increase dramatically."

Lin Yuan immediately showed an admiring expression, looked at Guan Juer and said, "So amazing!"

Guan Juer blushed instantly when Lin Yuan praised her like this, and she quickly explained subconsciously: "Actually, it was my parents who found the relationship."

But as soon as she said it, she felt a little regretful. She wondered if Lin Yuan would think that she was an incompetent person who could only use backdoors.

Lin Yuan praised: "Connections are also a kind of ability. How many people want to have them but don't have them? As long as you work hard and show your abilities, everyone will recognize you. Moreover, you can frankly admit that you have received help. You have surpassed many people."
