Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

night.

The backyard was exceptionally quiet.

Only occasionally did the coal stove emit the crackling sound of burning coal.

Yi Xiulan was already fast asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed).

His breathing is much more stable than yesterday, and he seems to be in much better shape.

Lin Jian'an finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

He then went back to bed.

He closed his eyes too.

Consciousness entered the system space directly.

The space was hazy and empty.

It is only about one cubic meter in size.

In a corner of the space.

Ten pounds of flour were neatly piled up.

And that half-box of fever reducer.

There's nothing else.

The system's online store has also been fully launched.

[Flour: 1 point/jin]

Pork: 3 points/jin

Eggs: 1 point/5 eggs

[Coal Briquettes: 1 point/20 briquettes]

[Table salt: 1 point/jin]

[Basic cold medicine: 5 points]

Lin Jian'an became more and more excited as he looked at these.

This system.

It was much more impressive than he had imagined.

Especially food and industrial products.

It should be placed in the later, more difficult period.

It's practically hard currency; it's something that can save your life.

But soon.

He quickly calmed himself down.

Because he doesn't have many points.

There are only 10 points left now.

These points are simply not enough to solve the situation he is facing.

To truly survive by relying on the system.

You have to keep accumulating points.

"Old items...old items..."

Lin Jian'an's eyes slowly brightened as if he had remembered something.

In his previous life, he was an antique collector.

Others don't understand.

He knows all the ins and outs of this place.

The cheapest thing in this era.

Decades later.

Many of them are priced exorbitantly, or even priceless.

Old stamps, especially commemorative editions.

Old furniture, made from various rare woods.

Grain coupons.

Calligraphy and paintings.

radio.

Even the inconspicuous copper coins in the scrap yard.

They will all be valuable in the future.

And now.

These things are everywhere.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an's heart began to race wildly.

"If the system recycles assets based on their future value..."

"Wouldn't that mean I could go crazy picking up bargains?"

Just then.

The system's voice rang in Lin Jian'an's mind once again.

【Ding! 】

[New player quests released]

[Task objective: Recycle three old items]

[Task Reward: Random Procurement Permission]

Current task progress: 1/3

Lin Jian'an's eyes lit up when he saw this.

Do I have the authority to make random purchases?

This reward sounds quite impressive.

maybe.

The truly rare items can be obtained later.

For example, penicillin.

For example, industrial equipment.

Even bicycles.

Thinking about this...

He suddenly became restless.

"no."

"We need to go to the nearby scrap yard as soon as possible."

After all, this is the era we live in.

The recycling station is full of treasures.

What others sell as trash, he treasures.

After all, he can exchange points.

What are points? Points are a prerequisite for redeeming hard currency.

Just then.

Suddenly, light footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

It was very soft, but Lin Jian'an still heard it.

It felt like someone was sneaking up on us.

Lin Jian'an's eyes instantly turned cold.

He quietly walked to the window.

I looked out by the faint moonlight.

Sure enough, there was someone there.

A child was crouching under the window.

Skinny and small.

His eyes were fixed on the room.

It's a reference to the "Master Thief".

and.

The direction the kid was looking.

It was the sack of flour on the table, filled with white flour.
