Siheyuan: From the Start, as Liu Lao'er, I Leave with Nothing

[Low angst] + [Character growth] + [All-rounder] + []

Liu Guangtian transmigrates to a courtyard house in 1956. The moment he opens his eyes, his father, Liu Haizhong, is swinging a belt at him.

Is he supposed to cover his head and run, just like in the original story?

“Go to hell!” Liu Guangtian grabs the belt and turns the tables on his father, then packs his things and leaves home that very night!

The whole courtyard laughs at him: “Second Master, your second son won't last three days out there without you before he starves to death!”

But Liu Guangtian just smiles at the [Skill Panel] floating before his eyes.

Once he officially becomes an apprentice, he can add skills to the panel and level them up faster! He can even make extraordinary skills permanent, and for every master-level skill he gains, his leveling speed doubles!

No food? He gets Silly Zhu to put in a good word and becomes an apprentice at Fengzeyuan. In just a month, he grinds out [Master-Level Shandong Cuisine], astounding the famous chefs!

Going hungry during hard times? He apprentices under an old hunter and grinds out [Master-Level Hunting] and [Master-Level Farming], so he has meat at every meal!

Want to improve his standing? He apprentices under a Grade Eight Worker and grinds out [God-Level Fitter Skills]. Along the way, he picks up [Traditional Chinese Medicine] and [Martial Arts], and gets to know leaders from all the major compounds!

A few years later, when Liu Guangtian returns to the courtyard in a Jeep, everyone is bowled over.

Liu Haizhong takes his youngest son, Liu Guangfu, by the hand, tears streaming down his face. “Guangfu, your second brother is the greatest source of pride in my life. You'd better listen to him!”
