Chapter 1312 King Jiji
Snowflakes danced in the cold wind and fell to the ground, covered with icicles, as if putting a plain coat on this cold world.

However, Suning did not feel very good at this time. The weather in the cold winter was as cold as a scoundrel, challenging Suning's strong willpower all the time.

Then Suning felt very strange. He knew that he was having a night out with a Hong Kong actress just a moment ago, but now he was in a completely unfamiliar place.

Especially now that Suning is an omnipotent Immortal Emperor, how could he be afraid of such insignificant cold weather? So at this moment, Suning immediately had a bad guess.

Then Suning got up in panic, threw off the quilt, and looked for a mirror in this simple and shabby house. He was surprised to see one on the table next to him, and realized that his new body must be quite vain.

But when Suning saw the new face in the mirror, he was stunned with surprise. He didn't expect that this time the system would arrange him to become King Jiji, the ultimate bootlicker Niu Dali who loved Yao Yuling but couldn't get her.

The first thing the enraged Su Ning thought of was contacting the system. "Fuck! Gouzi, how did my soul travel through time? And with this appearance, how am I supposed to pick up girls?"

[Host, you can only accept the system's arrangements] However, the system is still cold and emotionless. After all, it is just a program set by humans.

"I am the omnipotent Immortal Emperor." The angry Suning emphasized very weakly.

[The system spent a lot of resources to cultivate them. Don't think you've suffered a great loss. Host, you have opened up a new film and television world for the system, and you will also be rewarded in return. This is the mutual benefit that you humans often talk about.]

"Humph! Dog, look at you, you're so capable, do you really think you've become humane?"

【…】

Of course, Suning knew that his venting might be meaningless, and he could only helplessly accept the reality of his soul traveling across time and space. The omnipotence of the Immortal Emperor he had before was completely gone, and from now on he would need to rely on this new body to practice slowly.

Of course, with all the defects and limitations of this new body, it is absolutely impossible for it to reach the level of his original cultivation. It is very likely that it will only make him healthy and free from illness.

Then the system instilled the new memories into his mind, and at the same time made Suning convinced of his identity. He had indeed traveled through time to become Niu Dali, the minor supporting character in "Coming from South to North".

First, he took out a pill for strengthening the body from the space world and took it. Only then did he feel that his body had become much lighter and he had some resistance to the biting cold wind from the outside.

"Dali, hurry up! It's time to go to work." At this time, Wu Changgui's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Master, I'm here." Su Ning shouted at Wu Changgui outside the door.

Then Suning naturally looked at the pile of dirty clothes. After rummaging through them for a long time, he still couldn't accept it. He really couldn't bear to wear such clothes.

Soon, Wu Changgui outside the door urged impatiently again, "Da Li, hurry up! We are really running out of time. What are you doing in the house?"

"Huh? Right here! Right here."

In the end, Suning gritted his teeth and took out a new set of work clothes of the same style and color from his own space world. After putting them on, he walked while eating a piece of bread.

As long as you feel happy, what does it matter if others question or look at you sideways?
Sure enough, when Wu Changgui saw Su Ning coming out in a brand new work uniform and chewing on a piece of bread, he immediately showed an envious look and drooled.

As expected, Wu Changgui looked at Su Ning in front of him with a look of surprise and asked, "Da Li, where did you get this clothes?"

"I exchanged some cloth coupons for these clothes the day before yesterday. My old clothes were really too worn out." Suning had naturally already thought of his response at this time.

At this moment, Wu Changgui couldn't help but give Suning a thumbs up. "Well, it's true that clothes make the man. After changing into clean clothes, he looks much more energetic."

"hey-hey……"

Then Wu Changgui drooled as he looked at the bread in Su Ning's hand. The color and aroma of the bread were so tempting. "Oh! Dali, is that bread you're eating?"

"Huh? Yes! Master, you try it too." At this time, Su Ning quickly broke off half of the bread and handed it to Wu Changgui. Wu Changgui's eager eyes were really too sharp.

"Haha, okay! Then I'll try it too." Sure enough, Wu Changgui took the bread handed to him by Suning with a look of surprise on his face.

"Master, how does it taste?"

"Hmm? It's delicious! Dali, where did you buy this bread?"

"When exchanging cloth coupons, I couldn't help but be greedy and exchanged with the other party."

"Then... can we still find each other?" Wu Changgui, who was completely conquered by the bread, asked nervously.

However, Suning directly rejected Wu Changgui's idea. Remember, it was still the seven or eight years of material scarcity. "It was a bit difficult! After all, when exchanging cloth coupons, everyone wore masks as a disguise."

"Ah! That's a pity."

Then Wu Changgui, with a look of loss on his face, took Suning to the train station and went straight to the locomotive where they worked, because this time Suning was the boiler operator of the steam locomotive.

In fact, it didn’t matter whether Suning changed into clean clothes at the beginning, because the boilerman of a steam locomotive worked very hard and would turn himself into a block of coal after adding a few lumps of coal.

However, Suning, who was very afraid of the cold, was not afraid of getting dirty or tired. Instead, he was always rushing to work there, only because Suning found that as he worked, it would actually promote the "Body Refining Technique" he was practicing.

Wu Changgui and Cai Danian, who were standing by, looked at Su Ning in surprise. They knew that Niu Dali was always cunning and sly in the past. "Dali, you can do it today! You don't even spare any effort when working?"

Su Ning stopped and turned to look at Wu Changgui and Cai Danian and explained, "I woke up from the cold last night, so I decided to sweat it out today to warm myself up."

Cai Danian, who was standing by, immediately expressed his understanding and said, "Ah! Life is hard for a bachelor. With your conditions, you should find a wife."

"No rush! Wait until you find the right one."

At this time, Wu Changgui looked at Su Ning with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Da Li, you are not still thinking about that announcer Yao Yuling, are you?"

"Of course not! Yao Yuling and I have no relationship at all. Master Cai, it would not be good if others heard what you said." However, Su Ning shook his head firmly. He really didn't find anything beautiful about Yao Yuling.

"Oh? Dali, are you sure?" At this time, Wu Changgui and Cai Danian looked at each other in surprise.

"It's certain! Yao Yuling and I are not suitable. A wife should be able to manage a family life."

"Well, that makes sense." The timeline at this time was only seven or eight years ago, and reform and opening up had only been proposed. It would take some time to truly implement reform and opening up.

Of course, it is impossible for Suning to work as a boilerman in a locomotive forever, because this is a job with absolutely no future. Instead, he will resign after waiting for two years and start his own business.

When he succeeds in his business and becomes rich, he will have all the women he wants, so why would he keep chasing after Yao Yulin?

Moreover, in Suning's eyes, the actresses in "Coming from South to North" are all ugly. Some have had plastic surgery or their skin is almost worn off. He really can't understand the mental health of the director and investors. At one point, Suning suspected that these people had low IQs and that's why they hired such actresses.

……

The work of a boilerman is naturally very boring and tedious, so it is impossible for him to have a good time like a flight attendant like Wang Xin, nor is it possible for him to encounter as many strange things as Wang Xin.

So when Su Ning and Wu Changgui got off work, they were already exhausted, mainly because their new bodies were too weak.

Wu Changgui, who had returned to the railway staff family quarters, looked at Su Ning and invited him, "Da Li, come to our house for dinner later?"

"No! I'm too tired. I'll wash my dirty clothes first." However, Suning refused with a smile on his face.

"Ah! Our job as boilermen is just too dirty. Every time we come back home, we feel like we're going to be skinned alive."

"Hehe, yes! No more talking, Master, I'm going back first."

"Ah."

In fact, Wu Changgui also noticed the changes in Su Ning at this time. You know, Niu Dali used to be a fool in their railway section, and he was nowhere near as steady, smart and capable as he is now.

Then Wu Changgui returned home, deep in thought, and his wife came out to greet him with a big smile, "Old Wu, come home and have dinner! I've already prepared the meal."

"No rush! I'll go take a shower first. It feels like there's a layer of black skin on my body." However, Wu Changgui suggested taking a shower first.

"Okay! I'll get you some soap."

"Ah."

Soon Wu Changgui took a nice hot bath with hot water. Of course, it would be better to go to the bathhouse to take a bath in this weather, but the cost of going to the bathhouse far exceeded boiling water at home, so Wu Changgui only spent money to go to the bathhouse occasionally.

By the time Wu Changgui, looking refreshed, sat down at the dining table, his wife had already heated up the food. "Old Wu, how do you feel about this driving trip?"

"It's still the same! But I found that Niu Dali has changed." Wu Changgui, who was eating with big mouthfuls, responded casually, and then quickly thought of Suning's changes.

"Oh? What changes can there be in that kid Dali?" However, Old Wu's wife asked with a look of disapproval on her face.

"He's become much more stable and intelligent than before. He's no longer the naive person he used to be."

"Interesting! Looks like he might be getting it."

Then Wu Changgui looked at his wife and said, "Well, take out half of the pork stew with vermicelli and bring two 200g flour buns to him."

"Okay! Hehe, no matter what, I am still Dali's master's wife."

"Well, I have a feeling that our family may still have to rely on Dali in the future."

"..."

Although Wu Changgui said this, he didn't care too much about it in his heart. You have to know that the working class and peasant class in this era were very simple and honest.

By the time Old Wu's wife delivered the steamed buns and pork stewed with vermicelli to Suning's house, Suning had become brand new. However, Old Wu's wife found that Suning seemed to look better than before.

Su Ning looked at Old Wu's wife, who was staring at him blankly, with a puzzled look on his face, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Huh? This is the meal your master, Old Wu, asked me to bring you, and today it's pork stewed with vermicelli." Old Wu's wife, who was suddenly awakened, explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"Thank you, sister-in-law! You and Master are so kind to me."

Then, Old Wu's wife looked at Su Ning with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Da Li, why do I feel like you look better than before?"

"Huh? Could it be because I just took a shower?"

"It's possible! Your skin looks much better than before."

When Old Wu's wife left Suning's house looking back every few steps, Suning immediately sat down to eat and took out some cold dishes from the space world, once again demonstrating how easy it is to go from frugality to extravagance but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Soon, Suning finished eating all the food, then washed the bowls in Wu Changgui's house, and then returned the bowls to Old Wu's wife.

After receiving the bowl from Suning, Old Wu's wife looked at Wu Changgui and said, "Old Wu, you're right. Dali has really changed a lot. He even remembers to wash his bowl in advance."

"Well, go see if there are any good girls among your relatives and friends, and introduce them to Niu Dali." Then Wu Changgui looked at his wife in front of him and made arrangements.

As neighbors living together, they naturally understood Niu Dali's thoughts. "Huh? Didn't Dali always like Yao Yuling?"

"Humph! Yao Yuling is just a little devil who doesn't know how to live. She can't possibly be with a good kid like Niu Dali. Besides, Niu Dali himself said he has no interest in Yao Yuling."

"Okay! I'll help find out."

At this time, Suning naturally didn't know that his enthusiastic neighbor was worried about his marriage. Even if he knew, he might not take it too seriously. You know, Suning didn't want to decide his marriage in this life so quickly.

Of course, as a veteran bachelor, this body was particularly eager for women, especially when he met the little devil Yao Yulin in the train dining car. Su Ning unexpectedly found that his body had a very strong reaction, and naturally he cursed Niu Dali in his heart for being useless.
