The moment Li Mingyuan opened his eyes, he had become an inconspicuous newcomer in Love in the Courtyard.
From the start, Jia Zhangshi swindled him out of soap and white flour, then forced him to haul water? 【Ding! The God-Tier Comeback System has activated!】
“Taking a few losses when you're young is a blessing?”
“Then would you like to have that blessing, Auntie Jia?”
When Li Mingyuan's comeback left Jia Zhangshi fuming on the spot, the System rewarded him with white flour and eggs!
Xu Damao tried to trip him up behind his back?
“Brother Xu, since you love scheming so much, why not help me clean out the toilet?”
He roasted the projectionist until he fled, then traded for pork that filled the whole courtyard with its aroma!
Yi Zhonghai called a meeting to guilt-trip everyone with moral lectures?
“First Master Yi, since you love playing the saint, why don't you return the ten jin of ration coupons stolen from my home?”
Three sentences were enough to make the hypocrite crack on the spot, and the reward was an immediate upgrade to his fitter skills!
Thanks to the Comeback System, Li Mingyuan discovered a whole new world:
Roast Jia Dongxu for faking his disability, and earn a bicycle coupon!
Roast Qin Huairu for playing the innocent and crying poverty, and earn a sewing machine coupon!
Roast the Deaf Old Lady for throwing her age around, and earn a mysterious pocket-space kitchen!
The courtyard's beasts gradually realized:
This newcomer was seriously strange!
Anyone who schemed against him had bad luck. Anyone who bullied him lost money. Meanwhile, he just kept living better and better!
While others gnawed on steamed buns, Li Mingyuan shut his door and braised pork;
While the courtyard's troublemakers fought tooth and nail over housing, he had already bought three spacious houses;
While Silly Zhu was still playing the lovesick fool, Li Mingyuan had already married the prettiest girl in the art troupe!
Years later, at the steel mill's awards ceremony, eighth-grade worker Li Mingyuan looked down at the crowd:
Jia Zhangshi was so furious she'd had a stroke and was convulsing. Xu Damao was limping as he cleaned the toilets. Yi Zhonghai was cowering in a corner.
Suddenly, the System's prompt rang out: 【Final mission complete! Title unlocked: “Trendsetter of the Times”!】
