Chapter 38 New Knowledge
It was late at night, and there were far fewer people entering and exiting the community at this time.
Hu Lixin sat behind the table outside the security room, facing the road outside the gate of the community.
There were cars parked on both sides of the road, and occasionally only one or two night runners ran past the group of cars, their footsteps rustling.
Behind him, half of the lights in the community were extinguished.
The children who were running wild in the community were called home by their parents and elders, and the cries of unknown insects became the main theme in the community at this time.
Hu Lixin has entered the night shift. He will stay here all night and pay attention to the situation near the gate at any time. If there are food delivery people, you need to register them and ask them the room number of the building they are going to before they can enter the community.
Also check those vehicles with license plate numbers that are not in the access control system, register them as well, and remind them that they can only stay briefly before using the remote control to lift the railing at the garage entrance.
In addition, we must cooperate with the patrolling security team.
If you are really bored, you can chat with the cabooses on the roadside outside to relieve your fatigue. They also have to stay up all night.
If there were no surprises this night, it would pass by these trivial things.
In this season, the wind outside is neither cold nor hot. It is the best time of the year, and it is a little easier to stay up all night.
But if it rains, it won't be so wonderful.
The weather is too hot and there are many mosquitoes.
And the weather is too cold. No matter how thick the clothes, pants and shoes are, even if there is a "little sun" placed at the feet to keep warm, only a quarter of the body will feel warm. The place where the "little sun" cannot radiate is still cold, a true "double sky of ice and fire".
This kind of work is far from easy, but for the sake of his family, Hu Lixin is willing to endure such discomfort.
He even felt that he, a person with no skills, could find such a job with a good salary at his age. He was already very happy.
If I have any other thoughts, it is that I don’t want my children to follow their own path, study poorly, have low academic qualifications, and find it difficult to find a job in the future. Although the salary of this security guard is not bad, he does not want his son to still work as a security guard in the future.
This requires him to study hard now, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain if I borrowed so much money to send him to Dongchuan Middle School?
It's just that... Hu Lixin felt a little irritated when he thought about his test scores when he first entered school.
He didn't believe that his son was a fool. It must have been because he didn't study hard and seriously that he finally got that grade.
When you first come to a strange new environment, it's normal to feel a little uncomfortable. Let's wait until he slowly adapts to this environment...
Thinking of this, Hu Lixin turned back and glanced at the lights behind him.
To be honest, this community is very good in terms of environment and property management. Hu Lixin himself also wants to be the owner of this community. Every day when he goes to work and returns home from get off work, there will be security guards saluting him at the door.
But obviously, the high housing prices here are beyond his affordability.
But he hopes his son will one day be able to afford a house like this so his wife and children can live a better life.

Hu Lai had finished washing and lay on the bed. The lights in the bedroom had been turned off. Now, except for the moonlight coming from the window, his room was dark.
He did not draw the lottery while doing homework in the evening, but waited patiently for this time.
For this moment, he took a serious shower before going to bed.
He knew that the ancients would burn incense, bathe and change clothes before doing something very important and sacred.
He was not able to burn incense now, but he could still do it while bathing and changing clothes.
In order to bring some good luck to what he was going to do next, he took a very ritual bath with a pious heart.
Even he used twice the amount of shower gel than usual.
Now, Hu Lai, who was fragrant all over, knelt down on the bed, clasped his hands, and bowed to the west: "Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva... All the great gods who are passing by, please do well and bless me to take out my thoughts. Come get what you want!”
After completing this set of rituals, he closed his eyes and entered the system.
In the system mall, Hu Lai was going to exchange all the points in his hand for lottery tickets.
But he was stunned for a moment - there were some changes in the mall that he was familiar with.
The originally empty shelves were still empty, but they were slightly better than before, because next to the only product, the lottery ticket, there was another product: a small green glass tube lying quietly on the shelf. .
When Hu Lai glanced over, he found that it turned out to be... [Stamina Potion].
Yes, it was the tube of [Stamina Potion] he used this morning.
Unexpectedly, it appeared in the mall, and the price was marked like a lottery ticket: 1,000.
Purchasing lottery tickets requires five hundred points, while purchasing [Stamina Potion] requires one thousand points.
Considering that [Stamina Potion] could only be obtained through lottery before, and one draw requires 500 points, and I don’t know how many times you can draw a bottle of [Stamina Potion], selling this [Stamina Potion] for 1,000 points doesn’t seem like a big deal. It's too expensive. It's only equivalent to two lottery tickets, which means that if you draw it twice, you will get a bottle of [Stamina Potion].
You can actually buy other things besides lottery tickets in this mall...
Let me just say, the official mall of Tangtang system plug-ins cannot be so shabby!
Hu Lai was happy to have discovered the new function of the mall, but he did not focus on it. He also knew what he was entering the system for.
After exchanging all the points in the system mall for four lottery tickets, Hu Lai entered the lottery interface, and the big carousel with the marquee flashing appeared in front of his eyes.
Still no bunny girls.
The interface is heartbreakingly crude.
He spent his first lottery ticket with a pious heart.
Then I got a bottle of...[Stamina Potion].
Hu Lai in the system looked at the small bottle of [Stamina Potion] floating in front of him, a little speechless.
Okay, it's better than just saying "Thank you for participating."
Hu Lai comforted himself like this.
Then another raffle ticket was used.
Bless you from all kinds of giants and giants...
※※※
Ten minutes later, Hu Lai stared at the four bottles of [Stamina Potion] floating in the system space in front of him in a daze.
In fact, he had been like this for almost three minutes.
The two thousand points he had left were exchanged for four lottery tickets. For this reason, he even bathed and changed clothes to make himself smell good.
In the end, his four lottery tickets were exchanged for these four things? !
Hu Lai, who had been in a daze for a long time, finally made a move and slammed the pillow away. Then, as if he still hadn't relieved himself, he pushed the quilt aside again and beat the bed board hard, making a muffled sound.
What the hell are four bottles of [Stamina Potion]!
I knew this thing seemed to have a high drop rate, but I didn’t expect it to be so high! Is this thing so easy to extract? !
Moreover, this thing sells for 1,000 bottles in the official store. I actually thought it was cheap at the time. Four bottles were drawn from four lottery tickets. Together, these are worth 500 points per bottle, right?
Profiteer!
In the morning, I was heartbroken and wasted a bottle of [Stamina Potion]. In the evening, you took out four bottles of [Stamina Potion] for me! Is this how you make it up to me?
Then I really want to thank you for being the eighteenth generation of your ancestors!
But I want [Smart Potion]! It’s the [Smart Potion] that can improve the effect of my training!
Hu Lai roared at the system in his mind.
The system remained unresponsive, like a mute or deaf person.
But looking at the four identical bottles of potion in front of him, and thinking about the price of this thing in the official mall, Hu Lai can feel some kind of malice coming from the system...
Just like when he saw it for the first time and could still draw out "Thank you for participating".
Aren't the protagonists' systems all scrambling to serve their masters comfortably? How could it happen to me that this system would backstab me from time to time?
Is this system here to help me reach the peak of my life, or is it here to make me embarrassed?
Hu Lai was very sad and angry, and the bed board he knocked on made a continuous muffled sound, like beating a drum.
Until his mother's high-pitched voice sounded outside the door: "Are you still asleep?!"
Hu Lai then pulled up the quilt and wrapped himself in it, lying back on the bed, as quiet as a chicken.
Tonight, he learned a new knowledge - the currently useless [Stamina Potion] is easy to extract, but the powerful [Smart Potion] may be difficult to extract...
This was really expensive knowledge, costing him two thousand points and twice as much shower gel and shampoo as usual. (End of chapter)
