Chapter 4

Yue Heng was awakened by hunger.

When he woke up, he finally remembered what he had forgotten last night.

It was dinner.

His rumbling stomach loudly protested, urging Yue Heng to get up quickly and find something to eat.

After a hurried wash, he left home and ran out onto the main street.

Zhuangyuan Fang, where the old house was located, was an important part of Taijiang's old town.

Because there were many ancient buildings of cultural value, it had never been included in the demolition plan.

In terms of environment, it could not compare with the East District, West District, and New District.

This was also one of the reasons why Yue Junmin, after falling into debt, immediately sold this small house.

Two years after he sold the old house, the municipal government invested a huge amount of money to renovate the Zhuangyuan Fang area, turning it into a historical and cultural tourism landmark.

The value of this small house had at least quintupled!

Following his memory and the scent, Yue Heng easily found the Zhuangyuan Building Baozi Shop at the street corner.

He ordered a steamer of baozi, a large bowl of soy milk, and two youtiao (fried dough sticks).

Zhuangyuan Building was a local old brand, and their baozi only had pork and scallion filling.

But the taste was really good.

The freshly steamed baozi were steaming hot and plump, exuding a "come and eat me" aroma.

The baozi skin was very thin, and when eating, one had to first bite a side, then suck out the scalding hot meat juice. To avoid greasiness, a few drops of rice vinegar could be added, making it so delicious that one almost wanted to swallow their tongue.

It was said that the meat juice was made from melted pork jelly, simmered with broth, and was incredibly fresh without the need for monosodium glutamate.

The meat filling was a 3:7 ratio of lean to fatty, and the taste of meat and scallions in the mouth was enough to make a food lover's taste buds burst.

Eating baozi at Zhuangyuan Building was incomplete without a bowl of thick soy milk.

Locals preferred salty soy milk.

Hot soy milk was mixed with shrimp skins, purple laver, scallions, pickled mustard, and soy sauce, paired with a freshly fried, crispy youtiao, which was enough to satisfy customers for the whole day!

Yue Heng ate five baozi in one go, feeling so satisfied that he almost cried.

Yue Heng's second life was in the Star Sea Era, a thousand years later.

When he was reborn, he was a mere private in the Star Sea Alliance's Seventh Fleet of the Galactic Patrol Army.

A cannon fodder character.

At that time, Yue Heng's daily food mainly consisted of various flavored nutritional supplements.

Apple-flavored, banana-flavored, grilled meat-flavored, curry-flavored...

Looking back, it was truly indescribable.

Although as his strength and status improved, he was freed from the torment of nutritional supplements.

He could taste many delicious foods.

But none of those precisely prepared meals could bring him such a great sense of happiness.

It's really good to be back.

Feeling almost too full to continue, Yue Heng gave up on the idea of finishing the last two baozi.

He packed them to take home.

Because he got up very early, Yue Heng returned home after breakfast before 7 o'clock.

So he continued the cleaning work from yesterday.

To aid digestion.

At 8 o'clock, he started practicing the Star Alliance Fitness Technique in the small courtyard.

If possible, in this life, Yue Heng wanted to make a fortune and live a comfortable life.

However, he was very clear.

A grand era was about to arrive, and the new generation's wave would inevitably engulf everyone on this planet.

Including Yue Heng, who had returned from the Star Sea.

Unprecedented changes were imminent, and at that time, even if he wanted to live a carefree life, he would have to see if he had the qualifications!

To achieve true freedom and ease, one must have powerful strength.

Otherwise, Yue Heng would inevitably repeat the tragedy of his first life!

For this, he already had a preliminary plan.

Moving out of the Zhang family's house yesterday was just the first step.

The Star Alliance Fitness Technique was similar to radio calisthenics. In the Star Sea Era, it was almost a body technique that everyone practiced.

Strengthening the body, improving physical fitness, cultivating perseverance and patience...

There were countless versions of the Star Alliance Fitness Technique, suitable for different people, with a large part being custom-made.

The version of the Star Alliance Fitness Technique that Yue Heng mastered was one of them, and he had practiced it for several decades in his second life.

Even after becoming a Level 9 Mechanical Master, he still practiced it diligently every day!

Yue Heng was quite dissatisfied with his current body.

He was only 1.7 meters tall, underweight, lacking explosive muscle power, and had issues with bone growth.

The Star Alliance Fitness Technique could solve these problems!

However, using this frail body to practice the basic movements of the Star Alliance Fitness Technique still brought him great strain.

Soreness, swelling, pain, numbness, itching...

After five minutes, Yue Heng was drenched in sweat, his breathing became rapid, and his heart rate doubled!

Relying entirely on his superhuman willpower, he barely completed the first set of movements.

The ground was wet with at least two pounds of sweat!

He was almost completely drained.

Yue Heng struggled to drink a pot of warm salt water, gradually recovering.

After taking a hot shower, he felt much lighter.

Beep beep!

The sound of a car horn came from outside.

Yue Heng went to open the courtyard gate and saw a black Mercedes parked at the entrance.

Yue Junmin poked his head out of the car window: "Bring your ID, let's go."

Yue Heng nodded and went back to his room to get his ID.

They got in the car and headed to the Taijiang Administrative Service Center.

Yue Junmin was in a very good mood today.

While driving, he laughed and said, "Xiao Heng, do you know? I'm planning to start a new company."

"After you graduate from university, you can come and help in Dad's company..."

He chattered on, looking spirited and full of spring.

Yue Heng knew.

He knew that his father's company really opened, but went bankrupt within a year.

And left a pile of bad debts!

All his current grand ambitions would turn into a joke at that time.

He would never recover.

Yue Heng didn't say anything.

It was rare for Yue Junmin to be so happy, so let him enjoy it for a while.

"I'll buy you a car like this one too."

Yue Junmin patted the leather-wrapped steering wheel: "To make you happy."

Yue Heng smiled.

This Mercedes was nominally owned by Yue Junmin, but the registration was in Zhang Lirong's name.

Zhang Lirong provided the car mainly for him to pick up and drop off her two children.

To work as a driver.

As Yue Junmin's biological son, Yue Heng rarely rode in it.

At the administrative center.

The transfer procedures went smoothly.

It was Saturday, and the Taijiang Administrative Service Center was still open for business.

Since it was a direct family transfer, the taxes and fees were very cheap, and the process was quick.

In just over an hour, the old house in Zhuangyuan Fang was transferred to Yue Heng's name.

Just as the procedures were completed, Yue Junmin received a call.

He told Yue Heng, "Your Aunt Lirong needs me for something, I have to go right away. You take a taxi home."

Then he hurriedly left.

Yue Heng shook his head, feeling no emotional波动.

He even felt a bit amused.
