First there was intense weightlessness, and then there was the feeling of lightness. After experiencing dizziness, sinking, and being lost in the lake, Lin Yue opened his eyes on the computer chair in the bedroom.
It can be said that the scene in front of me is extremely familiar.
With the computer in screen saver mode, the aroma of coffee lingers in the air, as well as a hint of... a faint smell of cigarette smoke?
Tan Xiaoguang doesn't smoke, and she seems to be the aunt downstairs.
Most young people cannot afford to buy a new house in a prime location in Jianghai City, so they can only settle for an older apartment. In the east door downstairs, there is a young couple from out of town who have worked for seven or eight years and are looking for relatives and friends. After borrowing some money, I was able to save enough for the down payment and settle down in this city.
Last year, the couple gave birth to a daughter who was just one year old. Because she had to earn money to pay off the mortgage and couldn't afford a nanny, she asked her mother-in-law to come over and help look after the house.
This old woman is a big smoker and cannot smoke in front of children. Every time her son or daughter-in-law comes back, she runs to the corridor and puffs away as if she has been rescued. Because her family's conditions are not very good and she cannot afford good cigarettes, she usually just smokes. Smoking three or four yuan worth of cigarettes, you can imagine how strong the smell of the smoke can be. The key is that she smoked without opening the windows, which made nine households on the fifth floor unhappy.
This kind of thing... I can't say, just report it to the real estate agent. It will only last for two days. As time went by, she went her own way and put her son's words behind her. As time went by, everyone stopped reporting to the real estate agent. She could bear it. If I couldn't bear it, I went to the third floor and opened the corridor window.
In the past, he might have thought of a way to fix this old woman, but today... he just wanted to have a good sleep.
Lin Yue got up from the computer chair, sat down on the bedside, lay down with his clothes on, and closed his eyes.
Of course, there is still one thing to do before falling asleep - to review the gains from the trip to "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky".
As the attention is devoted to the system space, the menu is dropped to the task list, and as the cursor moves backward, a line of characters flashes by.
"The host has returned from the world of "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", and the completion of the mission is now assessed."
Main mission: No money is better than money (completed).
Side mission: All roads lead to Rome (Completed).
Mission Difficulty: Normal.
Failure penalty: None.
Mission time limit: 1980s-10s.
Mission Completion: Good.
Regarding this rating, he has no feelings, because the main mission of having no money is better than having money, which he promoted subjectively. It ended with spending all his wealth to defeat the American emperor. Regardless of whether he killed a thousand enemies and suffered a loss of eight hundred, at least He has become an accomplished business celebrity, and all the gods will have to give him some face.
But all roads lead to Rome for side missions, and until the mission deadline approached, he was still confused and didn't know how to complete it.
Because it is a side mission, the rewards are not as generous as the main mission. Since you can’t figure it out, just fail.
Who would have thought that it would be completed in such a hazy manner.
All roads lead to Rome? Is it possible that the system evaluates Chen Daguang, Wang Xu, and Chen Lu based on how they play dirty tricks, how hard they work, and how they ultimately contribute to their children?
never mind.
Things are already like this, the process is not important, the result is the most important.
He continued to look down.
"Distribute mission rewards now."
Main mission reward: any door.
"It has been sent to the portable space, please check it yourself."
Any door?
What the hell?
Is it related to Doraemon's Any Door?
Thinking of this, the image of Yasuo walking out of any door suddenly flashed in his mind, facing Shizuka who was stripping off her clothes and washing herself with fragrance.
The system did not suspend its operation because of his distraction and continued to issue rewards.
Side mission reward: Skill enhancement points +2.
The skill enhancement points are still the same as before, which is nothing to complain about.
Soon, the system releases control.
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then got up and got down.
He was quite tired, mainly mentally. After all, he had stayed in the world of "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" for almost forty years. Switching worlds would inevitably cause a sense of fragmentation in his memory.
】
However, if he doesn't understand the magical function of this arbitrary door, he won't be able to sleep well.
First, he moved the computer chair a little further and felt that the space was almost enough. He looked ahead and thought.
There was no flash of light, and no breath of wind, just as a blur appeared in front of my eyes, and a milky-white door appeared out of thin air on the floor.
Looking to the left, I saw the embroidered spring knife hanging on the west wall. Looking to the right, I saw the bedroom door leading to the living room. There was nothing behind it. Despite its upright shape in the air, it was nothing like the display items in the door and window store. What a difference.
In the past, when the system distributed rewards, they included notes on skills and instructions on how to use items. But this arbitrary door... why is there nothing?
Lin Yue circled around the strange things in front of him three times without understanding the reason. Finally, he decided to open the door to see what was on the other side. However, when he put his hand on the door handle, he didn't even turn it. , a strange scene happened.
The middle part of the door panel suddenly became transparent, just like the transparent touch screen in a science fiction movie, and a line of prompts "Please set the mark first." appeared.
Then there is a global map. After a blue highlight flashes three times in the Asian section, the global map switches to a map of Jianghai City, which is not much different from the Amap map and Baidu map.
"Mark? Is that what it is?"
He clicked lightly on the map, thinking that this would activate any door. Who would have thought that the system would not respond at all.
This put him in a difficult position, so he whispered, "Can't you give me some instructions?"
Perhaps because the system heard his voice, the map of Jianghai City slowly disappeared, the cursor flashed, and Chinese characters appeared one after another.
Lin Yue studied it carefully and quickly figured out what this so-called "mark" was.
Just like the Ghost Glove has the abilities of low-level Iron Man and Spider-Man, the function of the Any Door is also castrated.
It can indeed travel around the world at will, but the prerequisite is that you must first go to that location and make a navigation mark so that you can teleport there through any door in the future.
Think about it this way. If any door is opened by mistake, the environment there is tens of thousands of feet of sky, a trench with water pressure that can burst a person, and a scorching magma lake. No matter how many tricks he uses, he will not be able to escape. Damn it.
To take a step back, even if you don’t consider these extreme situations, if you open the door and take one step, you will be in another city. Now that big data is so powerful, there are cameras all over the street, as well as passers-by’s mobile phones, taking pictures and posting them online, which has attracted the attention of relevant departments. Note, that's a big deal.
Therefore, it is reasonable to require a trip to the site to set the prerequisites for navigation markers.
In addition, there is a limit for any door, that is, a maximum of ten markers can be placed, which means that he can freely shuttle in up to ten locations.
"first……"
Lin Yue took a look at his room. It was necessary to set a mark in his bedroom.
Seeing a small red circle appear under the blue dot representing the current location on the map, he knew that this meant that the mark had been set, and the next step was the field test.
But...he glanced out the window and thought it would be better to take a nap first and continue the unfinished work tomorrow.
He closed the door and lay back on the bed. He remembered that there were still unconfirmed skill points, and then pulled down the system menu to the skill list.
[I am acting level 4].

Current remaining skill enhancement points: 4.
After looking around, I didn't find any skills I liked, so I just put these 4 skill enhancement points aside for now.
Next is the last item------character attributes.
Name: Lin Yue.
Race: human.
Power 47.
Physique 32.
Agile 32.
Intelligence 31.
Spirit 35.
Attribute point 12 is currently unassigned.
I casually added 2 points to intelligence, and 1 point each to agility and constitution. After spending all the attribute rewards for this mission, it was considered a worry, so that I could sleep peacefully.
…
the next day.
After sleeping until dawn, when Lin Yue got up from the bed and opened the bedroom door, he found that Tan Xiaoguang had already gone to work. The car keys and Badun he left on the coffee table were missing. He should have taken the dog to Su Han took care of it.
Without thinking much, he went to the bathroom to wash up first, and then went to the restaurant to order a pack of instant noodles. While waiting for the water to boil, he took out his cell phone and found that someone called him yesterday, and he frowned.
The phone call was not a problem, the problem was that the caller was neither Su Han nor Gu Ying. It was because the villain's underwear stealing incident had made both parties very embarrassed. Fang Wei, who had not been in contact for many days, had not called once, but three times in a row. Pass.
It seems something is wrong...
He didn't dare to neglect and called her.
Soon, the call was connected. He said hello politely, and then made up an excuse, saying that he had left his mobile phone in a hotel out of town. Then he found it and asked her why she was calling.
Fang Wei had no doubts and told him that Professor Xiang knew that he and Tan Xiaoguang had both passed the preliminary examination for graduate students, and asked them when they would be free to make an appointment to meet.
Thinking that the weekend was coming soon, Lin Yue proposed to meet at noon on Sunday. Fang Wei happily agreed on behalf of the old man, told him the address and hung up the phone.
…
Sunday, afternoon.
No. 148 Tan Chun Road.
Looking out from the balcony on the fifth floor, you can see the north gate of Jiangda.
Yesterday, Lin Yue went to the station to pick up Zhao Nannan and Zheng Fang back to school, and dropped them off outside the north gate. He didn't expect that Xiang Huai's home was so close to Jiangda.
It’s understandable if you think about it. Xiang Huai is a well-known scholar. He was hired as a professor at Jiangsu University when he was over 60 years old. Of course, the school must arrange a house for him close to his workplace, although... judging from Fang Wei’s family background, The Xiang family is definitely not short of money.
"What are you looking at?"
Tan Xiaoguang and Xiang Huai walked out of the restaurant.
The old man was very enthusiastic and insisted on letting them stay at home for dinner. Lin Yue thought about studying in Jiangnan University in the future.
A few people drank a little wine and talked a lot, and the relationship naturally became much closer.
Xiang Huai said: "This is where you will study in the future."
Tan Xiaoguang tilted his head and looked around, and found that the north gate of Jiangda was not far away, with a touch of yearning on his face.
Xiang Huai saw this scene and patted him on the shoulder: "Since you have passed the first test and you have work experience in society, the retest is generally not a big problem. As for changing majors, I will talk about it."
"Professor Xiang, thank you."
"You're welcome. You are a very good child. You like to study architecture with me. I am very happy."
"this……"
A person who can be his elder and a future teacher said this. Tan Xiaoguang was a little embarrassed: "Actually, the review materials Lin Yue gave me were of great help. Without him, I would definitely not have passed the exam."
Xiang Huai said: "I really like the proverb that you will reap what you sow, and you will reap what you sow. Just like Lin Xiaozi said during dinner, if you didn't lend a helping hand when he was in trouble, how could he be where he is today."
"Grandpa, if you put it this way, then when the antique shop owner cheated him, it was you who paid the fair price for the double eagle gold coin. Later, Lin Yue helped you escape from the entanglement of those old ladies. It can also be said that you reap what you sow. Bean got bean."
Xiang Wan came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of cantaloupe cut into small pieces, followed by Fang Wei. Even though they had lunch together, she still looked at Lin Yue with evasive eyes, clearly showing timidity.
Xiang Huai said casually: "What about Lin Yue helping you find your bag at HK?"
Xiang Wan said: "That's my cousin's bag, not mine."
Seeing her niece bringing the topic to herself, Fang Wei quickly put the cut oranges on the coffee table: "Eat some fruit."
Lin Yue said "Thank you" but did not move.
He thought it was interesting that Fang Wei was the general manager of a company, but his mental quality was so poor.
But if you think about it from another perspective, you can understand that we were good friends, but now because the villain stole the underwear, the relationship between the two parties is somewhat ambiguous. It's like this, and there is no way to talk openly and resolve it. It was a misunderstanding, so it was quite embarrassing.
"Stop standing, sit down, sit down."
Xiang Huai naturally didn't know what happened between Lin Yue and Fang Wei, so he enthusiastically invited him to sit down and chat.
Lin Yue was about to leave the balcony when he caught a glimpse of the photo frame on the air conditioner in the corner. He couldn't help but was startled. He walked over and took it out and looked at it carefully.
"Xiang Lao, I would like to take the liberty to ask, what is the relationship between this... this person in the middle and you?"
"He is my father, what's wrong?"
The surprise in Lin Yue's eyes became even stronger.
Xiang Huai seemed to notice that he had some thoughts about the photo. He walked to the side, pointed to the woman holding a baby in the black and white photo and said: "This is my mother, my brother, my sister on the left, and I……"
When he said the last sentence, he nodded at the boy next to the man wearing a peaked cap. He was eleven or twelve years old, and Xiang Huai's shadow was vaguely visible.
Lin Yue said: "Can you tell me your father's name?"
Xiang Huai was surprised that he would have such a problem, but in the end he chose to tell the truth.
After hearing those three incomprehensible words, Lin Yue's expression became extremely exaggerated.
Xiang Huai thought it was difficult for him to understand the surname issue, and explained: "My father went to the United States after the war. Due to lack of culture and language barrier, his life was not good. Later, he finally relied on his skills in repairing cars. I got a job in the Chinese community, which gave me a foundation. At that time, my grandfather, the owner of a car repair shop, saw that my father was hard-working and humorous, so he thought that he was just a daughter, so... If he wanted her to marry far away, he would be his son-in-law, so after my brother and I were born, one inherited my grandfather’s surname and the other inherited my father’s surname.”
"..."
After listening to Xiang Huai's explanation, instead of showing an expression of realization, Lin Yue frowned even more tightly.
"Lin Yue, what's wrong with you?"
Tan Xiaoguang's question woke him up.
"Ah? Oh, it's nothing." Lin Yue realized that his roommate, Xiang Wan, Fang Wei, and Xiang Huai, were all looking at him with puzzled expressions, so he quickly collected himself and said seriously.
"It's really nothing?"
"No, not really. I just feel that Mr. Xiang's father looks like an elder in the clan, but the name doesn't match. I'm overthinking it."
Tan Xiaoguang was speechless: "I thought you would talk about a relative who fled to the United States in 1949."
When Xiang Wan heard this, she asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
Tan Xiaoguang told Lin Yue's story about inheriting his second grandfather's inheritance, which made the two cousins smile and didn't know whether it was true or false.
Lin Yue did not participate in their interesting conversation, or in other words, he looked absent-minded from sitting back on the sofa to saying goodbye.
It wasn't until he sat in the cab of the Cadillac XT5 that Tan Xiaoguang waved his hand in front of his face: "What happened to you just now? What's the mystery behind that photo...?"
He was just about to make up an excuse when his cell phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that someone had sent him a text message, which contained his name, current address, school he graduated from, family situation, a list of good friends in Jianghai City, and Su Han's name was highlighted.
If the expression on Xiang Huai's house when he saw the photo just now was weird, then the color now is murderous.
"Hmph, looking for death!"
This time, he was really murderous.
If you do the math... I haven't killed someone in a long time.
"What happened?" This was the first time Tan Xiaoguang saw Lin Yue showing such an expression, and he felt a chill running up his spine.
"It has nothing to do with you."
His answer was very curt.
Tan Xiaoguang didn't ask further questions. To be honest, he was a little timid facing this guy who was full of evil spirits.
The current Lin Yue... is he still the little brother he knew?
Woo...
The car circled on the ground and drove towards their residence.
When he came to the downstairs of the community and walked home, Lin Yue noticed that Tan Xiaoguang's expression was very solemn. Knowing that his performance just now put a lot of pressure on him, he wanted to have a good talk with him upstairs. However, what he didn't expect was , before reaching the second floor, there was a crisp sound in my mind.
Yes, the system assigned him another job, and it was during this sensitive period.
It’s really a wave of ups and downs.
With the idea of seeing what the mission was first, he turned his attention to the system list, pulled down the menu to the task bar, and saw the target world of this mission--"Heart Residence".
