Chapter 13 Bottom Line and Kindness
Li Qin casually closed the door behind him and then walked out of the courtyard.
As for locking the door, there's absolutely no need for that.
In his room, apart from a little coarse grain in a large vat in the corner, there was nothing of value.
As for the money, receipts, and household registration certificates that the original owner had saved, they were all in the storage ring that Li Qin was wearing.
In addition, the Heavenly Thief Stick is only three years old and his talent has not yet been awakened, so there is no need to worry about anyone going to his house to steal things.
As Li Qin stepped out of the courtyard house, he glanced at Yan Bugui, who was still searching on the ground with his head down, but couldn't help shaking his head.
"Uncle, please continue with your work. I'll go take a walk around the streets and see if there's any work I can do."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Yan Bugui looked up and nodded, then continued searching with his head down.
When Yan Bugui looked up, Li Qin even saw that the other man's eyes were a little red.
This made him wonder if he had gone too far earlier, since Yan Bugui was clearly somewhat obsessed.
However, Li Qin then shook his head;
Although he had deceived the other party just now, the current situation is ultimately due to Yan Bugui's own personality.
He was just a starting point.
With that thought in mind, Li Qin headed towards the alley entrance.
After taking only a few steps, Li Qin suddenly stopped.
He glanced back at Yan Bugui not far away, and finally decided to speak:
"Uncle, don't you have to go to school to teach today? It's getting late, or you'll be late."
After saying this, Li Qin ignored Yan Bugui's reaction and turned to leave.
Even though Li Qin has received a modern education, he still retains his principles and kindness in his heart, even in a world like a traditional courtyard house.
Besides, he had just obtained a lot of emotional power from Yan Bugui, so giving him a reminder was a way of repaying him.
Most importantly, doing so allows one to draw emotional power from Yan Bugui once again.
Sure enough, upon hearing Li Qin's reminder, Yan Bugui's eyes immediately cleared, and he suddenly remembered that he still had to go to work.
He didn't even bother to continue searching for money on the ground and immediately started running.
You should know that being late for work will result in a deduction from your salary;
He was already quite annoyed that he missed finding money at the door this morning, and if he were to have his wages docked as well, the loss would be even greater.
Thinking of this, Yan Bugui ran even faster.
They quickly caught up with Li Qin.
As Yan Bugui passed by Li Qin, he did not forget to thank him.
"Xiao Li, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have been late."
After saying that, he continued running forward without waiting for Li Qin's reply.
Watching the other person's retreating figure, a look of mixed amusement and exasperation flashed across Li Qin's face.
Just now, he indeed heard the system notification again;
[Emotional Power +50]
[Emotional Power +20]
[Emotional Power +10]
......
However, a clear smile then appeared on Li Qin's face;
"Indeed, the courtyard house is a place favored by fortune. It is indeed easier to obtain emotional power from the people in the courtyard house."
Li Qin's divine essence is currently only at level one.
To advance in rank, one needs a certain amount of divine power and to strengthen the chaotic laws within the divine core.
At this stage, the laws of chaos can only be passively strengthened slowly as the magical power within Li Qin's body increases;
Divine power, on the other hand, needs to be transformed through the power of emotions.
And this ratio is quite astonishing;
It takes a thousand points of emotional power to transform into one point of divine power.
Originally, Li Qin was quite worried, wondering when he would be able to convert a large amount of divine power.
It now seems that as long as you interact more with the people in the courtyard, you can easily obtain a lot of emotional power.
Accumulating divine power in this way doesn't seem so difficult.
With anticipation, Li Qin arrived at a breakfast stall at the entrance of the alley;
He could smell the aroma of steamed buns and other food from afar, though he didn't know if it was because his body was too lacking in oil and fat, but he could smell it.
His mouth then secreted a large amount of saliva.
This is a natural bodily reaction that even a wizard like Li Qin cannot stop.
"Comrade, two vegetarian steamed buns and a bowl of tofu pudding, please."
Li Qin left home relatively late, so there weren't many people at the breakfast stalls.
He randomly found a seat and sat down.
The breakfast stalls offer a wide variety of dishes, including vegetarian buns, meat buns, fried dough rings, and tofu pudding...
Of course, the iconic fermented mung bean juice of Beijing is also indispensable;
Li Qin had long heard of douzhi (fermented mung bean juice), and had even tried it once when he was traveling in Beijing before his time travel.
It's not that douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) is bad, but rather that Li Qin couldn't accept it, so he chose tofu pudding instead.
As for steamed buns, Li Qin certainly wanted to eat meat-filled ones, but meat-filled ones required meat coupons, which was exactly what Li Qin lacked.
Therefore, we had to settle for vegetarian buns as a second choice.
Even though they are vegetarian buns, they taste quite good.
In the blink of an eye, Li Qin had finished the two large steamed buns and a large bowl of tofu pudding.
After finishing his meal, Li Qin didn't forget to pack ten large steamed buns, which were, of course, vegetarian.
When it came time to pay the bill, Li Qin showed a surprised expression.
"The prices of goods in this era are really cheap."
He discovered that despite buying so many things, he had only spent a few cents in total.
Li Qin carried a large steamed bun wrapped in oil paper as he slowly walked forward, feeling deeply moved.
Once everyone was alone, Li Qin casually put all the large steamed buns into his storage ring.
The constant runes engraved on the ring not only stabilize the expansion space, but also stabilize the state of items stored within the ring's space.
The steamed bun is now stored in the storage ring, and when Li Qin takes it out again, the steamed bun is still in its current form.
In the time that followed, Li Qin naturally could not continue to look for odd jobs.
He began to wander around Beijing.
Li Qin did this both to take a good look at Beijing decades ago and to make some preparations.
Li Qin's Phantom Manifestation/Transformation has now reached LV4.
This level is already very high.
The most direct manifestation of this is that once Li Qin uses his full power to teleport, he can instantly move to a distance of twenty kilometers.
And this is not even the upper limit.
This is because Li Qin's magic level is only level four. If he increases his magic level, the distance he can teleport will increase again.
Although Li Qin could use Apparition to teleport instantly;
However, there is a prerequisite for teleportation: Li Qin must have a clear impression of his destination.
He cannot teleport to places he has never seen before.
Of course, this applies to using Apparition over long distances;
If using Apparition at close range, Li Qin can instantly teleport to any location within his line of sight that he can clearly see.
While Li Qin was strolling around Beijing, he was also preparing for the future use of Apparition.
When Li Qin has explored the entire city of Beijing, it means he will be able to teleport freely within the city.
After all, the area of Beijing today is not as large as it is in later times.
