Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

A new neighbor has arrived in the courtyard, and everyone in the courtyard is excited and curious.

In the past few days, the number of times the police have visited the courtyard has increased significantly, but they don't stay often. I didn't expect that a police officer would move in today.

Some are happy while others are sad, but among them, those with bangs are probably the most upset.

With yet another cadre moving into the compound, there's another person above him. When will he ever get ahead here?

Yan Bugui's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were calculating. He stood in front of the courtyard gate, wanting to help, but the Jin couple were traveling light with only one package and didn't need him. Besides, they had Chen Liang, their prospective mentor, with them.

This made Old Yan so anxious that he scratched his head in frustration.

In his opinion, Jin Lu was more deserving of his help than Lin Weidong. After all, a local official is more powerful than a distant one. Lin Weidong didn't even know where he worked, while Jin Lu was right there at the local police station.

From now on, if anyone has any problems, they'll have to ask Jin Lu for help. He believes that in this courtyard, Jin Lu will be the one with the loudest voice, and Lin Weidong will have to step aside.

At this moment, Lin Weidong was carrying a bag of fruit candies and, following the list Tian Zao had given him, was delivering a handful to each household to repay the favors he had received for borrowing hot water and cups, and also to improve his reputation.

Those who helped at the time were mostly ordinary residents.

As for the characters from the original drama, some were imprisoned, while the Yan, Liu, and Xu families lived far away, so only the He family borrowed the cup at that time.

He Yushui covered the small pocket on her cotton coat with both hands, laughing foolishly.

Everyone else only has one handful of candy, but she has two bags!

Lin Weidong had no idea what she was laughing about. Could she have really caught his brother Sha Zhu's silly grin?

I had to make him stuff the candy into his little pocket, but he could only fit a few pieces in. That silly boy.

With a sigh, Lin Weidong clutched the remaining candy in his hand, turned around, and called Chen Liang to set off.

Chen Liang made sure to make his presence felt in front of his apprentice, happily riding his bicycle with Lin Weidong on the back.

His courtyard was also a large, mixed-use courtyard converted from a traditional courtyard house, with just as many neighbors as No. 95.

Lin Weidong arrived just in time for lunch; the courtyard was bustling with activity.

In the center of the courtyard, a seven or eight-year-old child was making clumsy gestures and singing opera. Next to him sat a neatly dressed middle-aged man, smiling and holding a teapot, occasionally offering a word of guidance.

Not far away, a middle-aged man wearing a melon-shaped hat was eating melon seeds and watching the commotion.

In another corner of the courtyard, by the door, Tian Zao sat on a stool playing with her braided hair.

A middle-aged couple stood in front of Tian Zao, their faces full of worry.

At the door, a young man in a khaki uniform pleaded with Tian Zao, while a girl of similar age stood beside him, scolding him.

Between the two, Dayong and his group of friends blocked their way completely, preventing them from getting closer.

Lin Weidong followed Chen Liang, pushing the cart into the courtyard. He matched Chen Liang's brief introduction with the people in the courtyard one by one, then looked at the system that had given him a notification as soon as he entered the courtyard, and a smile appeared on his lips.

[The characters from the drama "Hutong" – Mei He, Tong Xiaoting, Suo Qian, Uncle Gui, Aunt Li, Xiao Feng, Tie Dan, and Li Xiulan – have been detected. The host is rewarded with 8 pairs of novice clones.]

Eight pairs, 16 people in total? Lin Weidong was overjoyed. He then checked his personal panel, and sure enough, it had been updated.

[Host: Lin Weidong]

[Status: Robust Physique (ongoing); Refreshing Physique; Power of the Nine Pillars of Mao (already integrated into Robust Physique, will not be mentioned again)]

[Skills: Eye of Truth; Eloquent Tongue; Golden Right Hand; Spear Strike Like a Dragon]

[Items: Basic Life Supplies Box (refreshes monthly); 32 pairs of Basic Clone Dolls; 2-2 x 365 Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills (already consumed)]

[Other items: A two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) in Nanluoguxiang; ten large and ten small yellow croakers; one dose of fertility-enhancing and pregnancy-stabilizing medicine (for both men and women); some daily necessities]

……

After racking up the rewards, Lin Weidong was overjoyed and waved to Dayong in the corner of the courtyard.

"Dayong! Come here! Come over here with your friends!"

Da Yong was deeply impressed by Lin Weidong and immediately called everyone over.

The others in the courtyard were also attracted by the sudden commotion and looked over. When Tian Zao saw Lin Weidong, a sweet smile bloomed on her face, and she also stood up.

The group of seven or eight teenagers running over together was quite noisy, but to Lin Weidong's dismay, only Dayong and Xiaofeng received a reward.

Others are estimated to be even less than extras and are not recognized by the system.

Lin Weidong handed the bag of candy that had been scattered in the yard to Dayong.

"Here, have some fruit candy to share. Officer Chen needs to talk to you."

Facing a group of children, Chen Liang cleared his throat and forced a friendly smile, pondering Lin Weidong's previous advice and instructions.

"Here's the thing, young comrades. Didn't your sister Zao'er often take you to spy on enemy agents? But this is too dangerous for you! Your most important task right now is to study hard! When you grow up, use your skills to repay the country! Your sister Zao'er calls me Uncle Liang, so you should call me Uncle too. From now on, if you need anything, just come to the station to find me!"

"Then why aren't we arresting enemy spies?" a child asked, puffing out one cheek.

"Arrest them! Enemy agents definitely need to be arrested! But we can't let a bunch of kids do such dangerous things. Our police force has other arrangements. Of course, if you see anyone suspicious in the future, you can come directly to the station to report to me. This doesn't conflict with anything else!"

After Chen Liang finished speaking with a smile and received the children's agreement, he sent them off to play on the side.

Previously, Tian Zao led them to keep watch and track enemy agents for many reasons.

Tian Zao acted impulsively without careful consideration, underestimating the danger posed by enemy agents.

These guys love to join in the fun and cause trouble. At the same time, Lin Zheng, Tie Dan, and others are also partly responsible for their irresponsibility and negligence.

Reminded by Lin Weidong, Chen Liang said these things, firstly, to protect the children.

Secondly, it's about building a good reputation to pave the way for future advancement.

Thirdly, even if these children don't actively track people down, they might see and hear things while going to and from school or playing in the alleys and streets. They might actually be able to spot someone suspicious and catch them to earn merit.

Previously, they followed Tian Zao and were responsible for Tie Dan, Lin Zheng, and others, so Chen Liang naturally didn't get any credit. In the future, these kids will also be considered his eyes and ears.

Chen Liang went over this three-pronged approach in his mind again and became even more convinced of Lin Weidong's abilities.

He turned around and went to call Lin Weidong for dinner, only to find Tiedan making things difficult for Lin Weidong...

No, it should be Lin Weidong teasing Tiedan!

Earlier, Lin Weidong called out to Dayong, and Tian Zao followed him, whispering her feelings to Lin Weidong.

Upon seeing this, Tie Dan's mind went completely blank!

He wondered why Tian Zao was so cold to him today, even though he had been ignoring him for days because of a misunderstanding.

But at least you showed some anger! Getting angry means you still care!

But today! Tian Zao treated him like a complete stranger!

Tie Dan thought it over and over, assuming that Tian Zao was still angry, but he never expected that...

Seeing Tianzao act like a little woman in front of others, Tiedan was in great pain and filled with remorse!
