The First Evolution

Chapter 47: Uncle Xu



Chapter 47: Uncle Xu

After moving to the new house, Fang Linyan simply tidied the room and lay down directly on the bed. His mind probed into the newly opened Nightmare Mark storage space. The feeling of opening a cabinet without using his hands was very novel, but after getting used to it, it became nothing strange.

His attention at this time was naturally on the Joint Lock Mastery Scroll (bloody).

After Fang Linyan left the Descend Mode, he had not been able to see his physical attributes; he couldn’t even use the 4 free attribute points and common points. He could figure it out with his toes that he was definitely impossible to meet the requirements of this scroll to master Basic Melee, Basic Step, and Basic Endurance.

Faced with these conditions, he could only sigh with excitement. After all, Fang Linyan at this time was just a patient with advanced cancer whose condition who was under control. His body was still much weaker than normal. Not to mention training, he would probably be breathless after walking for a long time.

So looking at the scroll, Fang Linyan sighed helplessly. His right hand slid down helplessly and grasped something hard… then he took it out. Yes, it was the mysterious black phone. At this time, its screen was already full of cracks. Its battery only had half left. The screen was very dim as if it would power off the next moment.

“It’s really weird. The instructions given by this phone should all be of great help to me, but every time I follow its instructions, something wrong will happen…”

After staying at home for a while, Fang Linyan began to feel hungry, so he cooked for himself a bowl of lard noodles. After eating, he could only rub his stomach and sighed helplessly. Why? Because he was not full.

Of course, it was fine if he wasn’t full, but he had spent all his money on moving home. Now there were only 3 dollars and 5 cents in his pocket… his cash was completely emptied.

Faced with such a difficult situation, Fang Linyan sighed and picked up a frame from the side. A black-and-white photo could be seen in the frame. In the photo, it was an old man with a stern face in a mao suit. This was Uncle Xu who adopted Fang Linyan for 8 years.

Only Fang Linyan knew that under Uncle Xu’s seemingly harsh appearance, there was a gentle and tolerant heart hidden.

Fang Linyan grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, then he ran away from the damn place at the age of 11. At this time, in his memory, his impression of the orphanage was the broken red brick wall and the iron door that made a crunchy sound. Of course, there was also a very mean aunty.

After that, he wandered around the society for a year and a half, and he met this old man who seemed stern but gentle: Uncle Xu.

Fang Linyan had a unique skill in mechanics because of his own talent in this aspect and Uncle Xu’s education.

When he met Uncle Xu, although the old man seemed to be in a difficult life, he actually had a glorious past. He even got the Labor Medal and was awarded the title of Provincial Model Worker! He even got the say in a large automobile factory with 10,000 people.

Why? Because Uncle Xu had superb benchwork skills; he even became a famous Lv8 benchworker. This was already the pinnacle title among the tens of millions of workers in the country!

In the age of industrialization, although most parts can be produced automatically, some fighter parts still need to be polished by hand because of their small quantity, high machining accuracy, and difficulty. Because of this, Uncle Xu was later transferred to a military aviation company, responsible for finishing some parts of the fighter.

In 1984, during the 35th anniversary of the National Day military parade, among the fighters that flew over the Capital Square, there were high-precision parts processed by Uncle Xu!

However, later Uncle Xu fell in love with a woman who shouldn’t love; she was a married woman. Uncle Xu got condemned because of her, and he was fired in the end. He could only drown his sorrows in wine. Because of long-term alcoholism, his hands were trembling. Even his skills had been wasted.

After the ups and downs of life, Uncle Xu did not become pessimistic and retaliate against society, but he silently accepted all of this. When he saw Fang Linyan, who had nowhere to go, curled up into a trembling ball in the cold winter rain, he took him in.

When Uncle Xu found that Fang Linyan had a pair of skillful hands and excellent talents in benchwork, he began to train him in this area. Why did Uncle Xu stand out as an Lv8 benchworker?

It was because his family had passed down a series of practices that trained reaction, hand speed, and stability…

Ahem, don’t get the wrong thing. Although there was no such profession as benchworker in the previous days, there was another very old profession. This profession also has high requirements for hand speed, stability, etc., that was, pickpockets.

The second uncle of Uncle Xu had been in Shanghai as a pickpocket for more than 20 years. At his peak, he occupied the thieves in the 3 most prosperous streets of Shanghai.

There were more than one hundred pickpockets under him. He didn’t even have to steal personally. He was respected as “Master Finger”. He had 5 underlings who specialized in picking those who were talented from the orphans and taught them pickpocket skills so that there would always be new blood to the group.

However, the flower did not become a hundred days red. The second uncle was later designed by someone. Finally, he had to chop off a leg and a hand and then returned to his hometown. He lived in a bleak and unbearable evening, and he had to rely on his younger brother to support him.

When he had free time, seeing that his nephew who was Uncle Xu wanted to become a carpenter, he would teach the skills he learned those days because carpenter was also a work that was handwork. Unexpectedly, Uncle Xu became a benchworker. It had provided great help to his career.

After Uncle Xu met Fang Linyan, who seemed more talented than when he was a child, he couldn’t help but feel happy again. Not only did he use similar methods to train Fang Linyan, he also taught him his own experience! This was a hands-on guide from an Lv8 benchworker.

In this case, Fang Linyan had gone through a variety of training.

For example, to practice hand speed, he needed to pinch a coin out of a boiling pot of boiling water with his fingers.

Another example, to practice the control of the hands, he needed to cut potato shreds on tofu. The potato shreds must be well-proportioned, but he couldn’t cut the tofu.

To practice the touch of the hands, he needed to close his eyes and find a coin with a scratch in the box within a minute, and there were 100 coins in the box!

Another example, he had to thread 60 needles!

In order to practice the stability of his hands, Fang Linyan also needed to raise his arms horizontally to hold a weight of almost 10 kg before he got exhausted and went to bed every night.
