An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Tian Zhongsi's idea was simple: tie the person up, and if he could pry their mouth open, that would be best.

It's not a big deal if you can't pry it open.

In the end, there's no way to prove it when someone dies, meaning even the King of Heaven can't do anything about it.

But it shouldn't take that much effort; that kid is too slippery and doesn't seem like he can handle hardship.

I only need to scare him a little, and he's sure to wet his pants!

If Jiang Baobin knew Tian Zhongsi's plans, he would definitely curse him out:

You're the one who wets your pants! Your whole family wets their pants!

I'm a time traveler! I come with my own halo, okay?

Watch out, or I'll unleash my full power and aura of dominance, crushing you with my sheer force!

As for Zhao Zhibang, he lost face today.

But for someone as shameless as him, it's nothing at all.

Life is like a game of cards, and you've only lost the first two rounds—as the old saying goes, getting fat early doesn't mean you're fat, but getting fat later will break the bed!

As long as I can win big, recoup my losses, and even make the bookmaker bleed, then I, Zhao Zhibang, am the boss!

Although the matter was resolved, old grudges remained and new ones were added. Now, Zhao Zhibang's biggest jealousy of Jiang Baobin is this:

Why is it that the guy isn't satisfied with winning over one beautiful foreign woman? Why does he have to get another one?

Why shouldn't I be the one to enjoy such good fortune?

Because of this, I, Zhao Zhibang, must also put that brat to death!

Compared to the two troublemakers, Jiang Baobin was the most annoyed.

How did things get to this point?

All I wanted to do was get rid of my original family and live a simple life where I had enough to eat and wear.

But how did he end up becoming a small capitalist with both prestige and money?

Furthermore, I only wanted to earn some living expenses from Tom (otherwise I would really starve to death).

Deep down, I don't really want to get too involved with foreigners.

And what happened? Not only did he fail to distance himself from the relationship, he became entangled with two women in succession.

The most critical thing now is that he has no choice but to get entangled with them, otherwise, whether it's Zhao Zhibang or the dog spy, they will kill him!

Thinking about this gave Jiang Baobin a headache!

How stupid I was! I knew it was wrong, yet I kept going further and further down the wrong path.

If you don't want to live under Elizabeth's protection, you have to be ruthless—

Eliminate Zhao Zhibang! To prevent future troubles!

Even that spy needs to be taken out!

Jiang Baobin immediately shook his head. "Too impulsive. Does he think everyone else is a fool?"

Think about how you got targeted by spies?

It was just a horn call to remind that silly boy Wang Wenshan!

And that's how we got dragged into it.

Wait a minute! I feel like I'm having an inspiration, but I just can't quite grasp it!

Elizabeth, who was standing next to him, was about to speak when Jiang Baobin quickly waved his hand, signaling her not to interrupt his train of thought.

He wanted to pull out that faint spark of inspiration!

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and turned to look out the car window.

But after waiting for a long time without any results, she came back to see him again.

Jiang Baobin was seen with his brows furrowed, looking deep in thought.

Elizabeth smiled and quietly admired the scene.

In this era, although tough guys like Gregory Peck are popular, aesthetic tastes are not limited by time.

Jiang Baobin has a particularly handsome profile.

That's right, he's pretty, but not handsome or dashing.

Elizabeth couldn't resist reaching out to rub his ear, wanting to play a prank.

As for Jiang Baobin, he was driving, and being distracted could easily lead to a safety accident.

These days, there aren't so many rules.

Just as she was about to touch him, Elizabeth curled the corners of her lips, imagining how Jiang Baobin would react.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly slapped his thigh.

Elizabeth was startled and withdrew her hand from mid-air.

"What's wrong?"

"I finally understand!"

"What have you figured out?"

Jiang Baobin didn't hide anything: "Why did those people target me?"

Eliza immediately lost interest: "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to touch you!"

Jiang Baobin nodded at her, then looked straight ahead, a whole host of thoughts swirling in his mind:

You're awesome!

But like you said, what if you're no longer here?

You're just an NPC at best, and you still have to listen to the system's instructions.

Jiang Baobin has finally figured out why he has fallen to this state—

It's all because of the system; it's the system that's causing all the trouble!

But all the schemes it devises are overt, and there's no way to counter them!

The so-called "open conspiracy" is a strategy that is publicly implemented and exploits human weaknesses to make people obediently comply.

That's absolutely right!

Take the incident of being targeted by the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics as an example. The story goes like this:

Honk the horn → remind Wang Wenshan (saving him is equivalent to protecting yourself) → save him before (to complete the task) → if you leave him to die (you won't get the reward without completing the task, thus falling behind other players, and being eliminated is only a matter of time).

System (the instigator) → Issues task → Completes it yourself → This leads to negative consequences!

It's obvious that this is a closed loop, a blatant scheme that Jiang Baobin simply cannot refuse!

He is being manipulated by an unseen hand.

Trying to break free is difficult!

Unless you don't want cheat codes anymore and prefer playing single-player games.

Don't be naive. Did the system go to all this trouble to bring you through time just so you could lock yourself away and have fun?

Do you really think the system is a pushover?

Jiang Baobin had a feeling that if he dared to do that, he would be taught a lesson in no time!

Having grasped the implications, Jiang Baobin immediately became much more low-key.

Because the more you do, the more mistakes you make, so it's better to develop quietly.

After that, with a sense of urgency, he worked hard every day to practice kung fu and marksmanship!

Often, success cannot be achieved simply through strong willpower and diligent practice.

Interest is often the deciding factor.

For example, Jiang Baobin is currently very addicted to practicing martial arts.

There are many types of yoga, such as the traditional Hatha yoga...

But Jiang Baobin chose the most difficult one to practice, "Kundalini Yoga," an ancient and mysterious Tantric practice.

Haven't forgotten yet? In the last category, "Hobbies," he ultimately chose "Yoga."

"Kundalini fire," also known as "Kundalini meditation fire," is a practice that uses the cultivation of Qi, meridians, and subtle points to generate a warm, burning Kundalini fire within the body.

This is a cultivation method that guides the flow of energy within the body.

Esoteric Buddhism believes that...

Anyway, it's a pretty awesome technique.

When Jiang Baobin first started practicing, he actually thought of Zhang Wuji's "Sacred Flame Token Divine Skill".

In their strangeness, the two share a similar charm.

For example, the posture during cultivation is hard to describe in a few words.

The ultimate goal of Kundalini Yoga is to enable people to obtain profound life power, thereby achieving a transformative experience!

Whether or not that ultimate goal can be achieved, Jiang Baobin does not yet know.

However, through cultivation, combined with "Iron Crotch Kung Fu," "Wave Wrap Kung Fu," and "Fetal Breathing Kung Fu," one can achieve mastery of these skills.

It brought him many pleasant surprises.

The "Iron Crotch Kung Fu" is particularly prominent in this regard...
