Siheyuan: Treasure Hunting from the Start, Going Hunting with Liang Ladi

Chen Ziyang is reborn in 1952 and becomes a chef's apprentice at a machine repair shop attached to a branch of the Red Star Steel Mill in the capital, Beijing. He lives in Courtyard No. 95 on Nanluoguxiang.

His father died from a work injury, and his mother passed away from grief, leaving him to care for his younger sister. Life is incredibly hard, and the neighborhood bullies constantly pick on him.

Qin Huairu, who was engaged to him, breaks off their engagement. Yi Zhonghai tries to guilt-trip him with moral pressure. The Jia family tries to seize his home, and the Four-Courtyard God of War has beaten him up.

Fortunately, he awakens the Treasure-Digging System.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You dug up a starry blue sapphire worth 10,000 yuan. Reward: 10,000 cooking skill points. Your cooking skill has reached the level of a state banquet master.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You dug up a seven-leaf wild ginseng worth 50,000 yuan. Reward: 10,000 martial arts skill points. Your martial arts cultivation has reached the Core Realm, with your golden core contained within and perfection attained in every aspect.]

“White Lotus, you were the one who broke off our engagement. Why are you crying now that I'm marrying the factory beauty?”

“Silly Zhu, you were the one who said you'd beat me to the ground. So why are you on the ground begging for mercy now?”

“Nan Yi, didn't you say you were the factory's little chef god? Why are you kneeling at my door asking to become my apprentice?”

“Yi Zhonghai, you self-righteous moralizer. If you want to guilt-trip me, I'll make sure your reputation is in tatters and your good name is ruined.”

Watching Chen Ziyang go into the mountains to dig for treasure, grow fabulously wealthy, and enjoy a life of luxury, all while marrying factory beauty Liang Ladi, leaves every one of those bullies speechless.
