Chapter 39 The Old Hand (shuhaige.net)



The two men stood up when they saw Jiang Tiecheng.

Section Chief Zhang shook hands with Jiang Tiecheng while making his introduction.

"Xiao Jiang, this is an old classmate of mine named Xu Fengtian. He is the purchasing manager of the county's food and general merchandise cooperative."

"Old Xu, this is the Xiao Jiang I told you about."

Xu Fengtian looked at Jiang Tiecheng in front of him. Although they were shaking hands, his eyes were full of disappointment. He did not expect that the expert they had mentioned was so young.

Jiang Tiecheng is only 20 years old this year.

Of course, he looks young.

Jiang Tiecheng shook hands with the other person.

A slight smirk appeared on his lips; the man in front of him was truly an unlucky fellow.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone so unlucky.

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"

The four people sat facing each other, and the scene became a little awkward.

Section Chief Zhang coughed and was about to speak when, unexpectedly, Old Zhang jumped up.

"Brother Xu, it's been so many years since we last met. I'm really happy to see you again. It's been about ten years, hasn't it?"

Xu Fengtian's lips twitched.

"You brat Zhang Lao Er, what ten years?"

Five years ago, when your son celebrated his one-month birthday, I even sent you a blanket. How could you have forgotten about that?

"No, no, how could I forget? Look at my memory."

"Brother Xu, did your wife give birth to a son this time? I heard you had three daughters."

I know my aunt has always preferred boys, and she's probably made things difficult for my sister-in-law quite a bit.

Xu Fengtian stared at Old Zhang sideways and said,

"Zhang Lao Er, why are you bringing up something you shouldn't be talking about?"

You're just stabbing me in the heart, what are you doing?

"You couldn't stand your brother coming to your house, so you deliberately kicked me out, couldn't you?"

Section Chief Zhang immediately stood up, kicked Old Zhang, grabbed him by the collar, and walked him out.

"Come on, come with me to the kitchen to help your wife. If you can't speak properly, don't talk here."

You're usually so eloquent, but today, Brother Xu, why are you speaking so incoherently?

"It's lucky I ran into Brother Xu. If it were anyone else, they'd probably beat me up."

Old Zhang desperately wanted to break free from his elder brother's grasp and go back to help Jiang Tiecheng out of his predicament, but how could he escape his elder brother's clutches?

My older brother forcibly threw me into the kitchen.

Only Xu Fengtian and Jiang Tiecheng remained in the room. They looked at each other, and for a moment, the silence was so profound it felt almost stagnant.

Xu Fengtian smiled slightly and started talking, after all, he was a person who could handle social situations.

"Xiao Jiang, I heard you're a capable person. You saved Zhang Lao Er's son a while ago."

"Section Chief Xu, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, but I don't have the heart of a bodhisattva."

But when faced with such a situation, it's difficult to simply stand idly by.

Jiang Tiecheng originally did not intend to use this panel to do anything that would change other people's fate.

After all, even he himself couldn't be sure.

What kind of butterfly effect will occur if this kind of thing is done too often?

After all, being reborn was already a stroke of luck.

He has already changed the life trajectories of many people. Logically speaking, this change means that he may alter the future development of society, and at that time, he may experience a significant information asymmetry.

Jiang Tiecheng was unwilling to meddle too much in other people's affairs.

However, when he saw Xu Fengtian, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Earning points is not easy. Last time, I saved everyone on the train, and all I got were ten redemption opportunities and one lottery draw.

For example, if you save Old Zhang's son, you only get one point.

They didn't even give me a chance to redeem it.

However, changing Xu Fengtian's fate can actually earn 20 points.

Jiang Tiecheng couldn't help but be tempted; 20 points could be exchanged for quite a few things.

It's important to know that the number of times you can redeem items and the points you have on your screen are not the same thing. In other words, even if you have the opportunity to redeem items, it's useless if you don't have the points.

The abilities that can be exchanged are divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate proficient, and advanced master.

There are even higher levels, namely god-level top geniuses.

Currently, all the points seem to be consumed relatively little, but he just checked. If he wanted to exchange them for a top-tier god-level genius, the cost would actually be doubled.

The beginner level only requires one point, while the intermediate level requires two points. He thought the advanced level would at most require four points.

Who knew that at the advanced level, two hundred points would be required?

To reach the God-level, you basically need 20,000 points.

I redeemed an intermediate bomb disposal skill, which will give me proficient bomb disposal skills.

If he could exchange for advanced bomb defusal credits, there probably wouldn't be any bomb in the world that he couldn't defuse.

The bomb disposal skill was something I had no choice but to acquire under the circumstances of the crisis.

But it's not needed in normal life.

But there are so many skills that can be used in daily life.

In other words, if you want to become a top talent in a particular industry, the points you need will increase.

This inevitably stirred Jiang Tiecheng's heart; every man wants to change the world.

I dream of being a superhero.

Having the chance to be reborn is indeed not easy, but to simply follow the path of the previous life and become a rich man would be too unfair to oneself for having been reborn.

In the 1960s, if you wanted to get ahead, doing business was definitely not an option.

Therefore, in this era, possessing cutting-edge technology actually requires cultivating technical talent.

Perhaps we can find another way.

We can't just waste 20 years and wait until 80 to start a business.

Wasting time is certainly not economically efficient.

Therefore, he must earn points.

Who knows, one day he might become the de facto big shot, for example, a doctor. If we could directly exchange for advanced medical skills, a senior surgical expert could live a worry-free life.

Of course, this was just talk; he didn't think he could become a doctor.

This is why he is now very mild-mannered towards Xu Fengtian.

"Section Chief Xu, you've been having a lot of troubles at home lately."

Xu Fengtian paused for a moment, then quickly realized that Old Zhang had mentioned his family situation to the young man in front of him.

This is normal.

"Yes, things haven't been peaceful at home lately, and I don't know what's wrong with the family."

"It's inevitable that I'll start to overthink things."

Xu Fengtian was clearly a meticulous person. Although he was introduced by an old classmate, he made no attempt to imply that he was looking for a fortune teller.

In other words, it's impossible to label someone as engaging in feudal superstition.

"Section Chief Xu, your father was in a car accident just a month ago and is still lying in the hospital in a coma."

Your elder brother just caused serious damage to a piece of equipment in the workshop due to a serious mistake at work.

Your sister-in-law and brother are going through a divorce.

Your daughter has recently fallen for a scoundrel and is insisting on marrying him.

Xu Fengtian raised an eyebrow. This old Zhang had revealed all his secrets.
