Lin Shouye transmigrates to 1957, where his original self is the illegitimate son left behind by a capitalist who fled the country: a hellish start from the very beginning.
The neighbors treat him coldly, and he can't find a job. Life is a struggle at every turn.
At the brink of despair, the Progress System successfully binds to him!
Progress at work counts, and improving one's thinking counts as progress too. As long as he keeps improving, he can unlock ration coupons, meat, scarce goods, top-tier skills, and valuable connections.
Without hesitation, Lin Shouye turns over the gold bars left behind by his cheap father to the state.
Others don't understand. He merely smiles calmly: What can I say? I really want to make progress!
The story is poorly told and the characters are too stupid and naive
