The night passed without incident.
The next day, Lin Yu slept until ten o’clock before groggily opening his eyes.
After chatting with his father, Lin Pu, last night, Lin Yu had gone through all the seeds he bought from the cooperative, categorizing them.
He had five mu of land, after all, and needed to think carefully about how to maximize his profits.
Currently, three mu were planted with sweet potatoes and two mu with potatoes, both expected to ripen this evening.
The animals in the breeding yard were currently being fed sweet potatoes Lin Yu had gotten from Linjia Village.
“System Brother, sign in.”
【Ding, daily sign-in, congratulations, host has obtained the skill Appraisal, a Spatial Food Processing Factory, a Hunting Weapon Crafting Station, and a Super Fishing Rod*1 (including fishing line and hooks).】
【Special Note: Super Fishing Rod, every time you fish, you are guaranteed to catch five fish weighing over 5 jin, after ten times, the probability of catching fish is three times the normal rate.】
Lin Yu, who had been drowsy, instantly perked up.
Holy crap, this is amazing.
One skill, two buildings, and one special item.
“System Brother is awesome, thanks to the almighty System Brother.”
【Ding, good child, in recognition of your politeness, the system will provide a free explanation of the new building's functions and usage.】
Lin Yu: What?! Just for a little flattery, I get a free explanation?
I thought your explanations used to cost money.
【Ding, you can choose to listen or not.】
“Listen, listen, System Brother, just tell me.”
【Ding, if you’re listening, shut up and listen.】
【Skill Appraisal, the literal meaning, please explore it yourself.】
【Food Processing Factory, Hunting Weapon Crafting Station, also literal meanings, the Super Fishing Rod has already been introduced, please check the user manual for the rest, introduction finished, don't call me if you have nothing, call me when you have something, goodbye.】
Lin Yu blinked in bewilderment.
Is that it? That’s it?
Money wasted... compliments wasted?
Lin Yu grumbled and started reading the user manual.
Hmm, Appraisal, makes sense.
Hmm, Food Processing Factory, makes sense.
Hmm, Hunting Weapon Crafting Station, also makes sense.
They were indeed all literal meanings.
The Hunting Weapon Crafting Station required production materials and blueprints, or it could analyze existing samples to draw blueprints.
It could also optimize weapons using Hunting Points, which was quite impressive.
Lin Yu quickly took out his Type 56 semi-automatic rifle to analyze and draw blueprints, intending to optimize it.
He hoped to get an AK47 or a Type 56 submachine gun, and maybe even an SVD sniper rifle after optimization.
As for the Super Fishing Rod, it was a good thing, as he didn’t plan to go into the mountains for a while and would focus on fishing and creating a fish pond.
It was currently peak season in the mountains, with many animals raising their young, so it was better to wait until they had finished the autumn harvest and grown thicker fur before going in.
Lin Yu got up, tidied himself, and went outside to wash up.
Today was Saturday, and his father and mother still had to go to work.
His little sister was probably off playing somewhere again.
As Lin Yu stepped out of the room, he saw Lin Miao and He Yu Shui reading under the shade of a tree in the backyard.
“Second Brother, you're finally awake. Mom left you some food in the pot, and there's also the offal and pig head meat that Puzi Brother braised last night,” Lin Miao said.
“Little Sister, Yu Shui, did you two eat lunch?” Lin Yu asked.
“No, it's only what time, why eat now? Brother, what are you making for lunch? Dad took away most of the pork today, Mom said she's going to render the rest into oil.”
“Let Mom do whatever she wants, just tell me if you two want meat, I have plenty of it.”
Lin Yu took his basin to the well in the backyard and started washing up.
“Little Sister, Yu Shui, tidy up and go buy a bike with me.”
The two girls were instantly excited upon hearing about buying a bike.
In this era, bicycles were like the BMWs and Audis of later generations.
“Let’s go, Brother will take you to Quanjude for roast duck today,” Lin Yu said after washing up, tidying himself, and then strode out with the two girls.
When they reached the middle courtyard, Qin Huai Ru, who was holding Bang Geng at the doorway, saw Lin Yu and quickly ducked inside.
She was afraid that if she stayed out for a second longer, Lin Yu would shoot her.
“Brother, it seems like last night’s events have taught the Jia family a lesson,” Lin Miao whispered.
Lin Yu shook his head and said: “They'll only be good for a while, it's hard to change one's nature, they're just troublemakers.”
“Little Sister, you wait and see, in a few days, someone will bring up the matter of me privately owning guns, and they might even report it to the police.”
“Little Yu Brother, what should we do then? If it doesn't work, go to the neighborhood committee and get a certificate, to avoid getting you into trouble,” He Yu Shui said anxiously.
Lin Yu gave her a head pat and said: “Good girl, Brother didn’t love you for nothing, don't worry, Brother has a license, even if the police station comes to inspect, we have nothing to fear.”
Lin Yu had three guns, and three licenses.
The Type 54 pistol was registered with the logistics department of the Steel Mill.
The Jianwei 5 was registered with the neighborhood committee, using his hunting license at the factory.
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was registered with the Military Garrison Headquarters, with this document, Lin Yu could even bring out two more guns and claim they were for self-defense.
No matter how you looked at it, Lin Yu had nothing to fear.
Moreover, when he signed in for the two Colt Python revolvers, System Brother gave him a Special Gun Ownership Permit.
However, it was always blank, and Lin Yu still had no idea what it meant.
Lin Yu took the two girls and strolled around for over half an hour before reaching Wangfujing Street in the Dongcheng district of the capital.
Wangfujing Department Store was the first large department store in the capital after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.
They reached the third floor of the department store, and Lin Yu was amused by the quaint decorations.
The three of them weaved through the crowd and finally squeezed to the bicycle counter.
It was more of a dedicated space than a counter.
Three bicycles were displayed on a wooden crate platform half a meter high.
A poster advertising Strong Shanghai was next to it, listing the top ten bicycle brands in the country.
1. Shanghai Phoenix Bicycle, 2. Tianjin Flying Pigeon Bicycle, 3. Shanghai Forever Bicycle, 4. Guangzhou Five Rams Bicycle, 5. Qingdao Golden Deer Bicycle, 6. Shenyang Baishan Bicycle, 7. Nanjing Daqiao Bicycle, 8. Tianjin Red Flag Bicycle, 9. Changchun Meihualu Bicycle, 10. Xi'an Jade Rabbit Bicycle.
