Beijing Medical University.

Dean's office.

"Shaowen, Xiehe is a very good place to work," said Dean Qin Zhong, his tone calm.

However, Lin Shaowen, sitting across from him, was in turmoil.

How could one drunken night give way to waking up in a completely foreign world?

Countless memories surfaced, causing his brows to furrow slightly.

Lin Shaowen, twenty years old.

An outstanding graduate of Beijing Medical University.

His father, a senior engineer from the Ministry of Industry, died in the line of duty.

His mother, a music teacher at a university, had passed away early.

He currently lived in the family building of the Ministry of Industry, and was now facing one issue with two choices.

As an excellent graduate of the medical university, he was being courted by two organizations.

The first was Beijing Xiehe Hospital.

The second was the steel mill's factory clinic.

If this choice were made in the future world, it would be as laughable as if Pan Jinlian were trying to choose between Ximen Qing and Wu Dalang.

In the 1960s, both invitations were equally important.

There's no noble or lowly work, all should be valued.

"Principal, Xiehe hosts all the industry bigwigs in the country, whether it's the equipment or technology, they are all top-notch. I believe my future there will be very bright…"

Hearing Lin Shaowen's words, Qin Zhong couldn't help but smiled heartily.

"So… I choose the steel rolling mill," Lin Shaowen said seriously.

"Hm."

Qin Zhong's smile froze on his face, filled with disbelief.

Half an hour later...

Drenched in sarcastic words, Lin Shaowen stepped out of the principal's office and sighed.

He's no pig who wouldn't know that Xiehe is obviously superior to the steel rolling mill. But the problem is… Although his previous life was a top graduate from Medical University, he isn't that person.

In case he messes up something in Xiehe, jail would be minor trouble; the real issue is death by execution.

So, it might be better to lay low in the steel mill. After all, as a factory doctor, you wouldn't expect him to cure your ailments, would you?

Now, having made his choice, he still had one issue left to solve.

That is, moving.

The house he currently lives in is the housing estate of the Ministry of Industry. His father was posthumously named a "martyr" by the ministry when he died in service during his high school days. But the house belonged to the ministry, and they would not let him freeload forever.

So, both parties reached an agreement; once Lin Shaowen graduated from university and was accepted by a job position, the department would coordinate to arrange the housing issue for him, and then the house would be taken back.

While Lin Shaowen was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a "ding" sound in his mind.

"The All-Heavens Fishing System is activated."

"Congratulations to the host for becoming the All-Heavens Fisher, reward with one fishing ring and one fishing rod."

...

"What the..."

Lin Shaowen was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell is this?

All-Heavens Fishing? Fishing everything? For real or for fake?

He had been in this world for less than an hour, and he already missed his vivid life in his past life very much.

This world was mostly gray, whether it was the buildings, items, or people's clothes, most of them were in dark tones, besides white shirts, other colors were rarely seen.

Seeing the surprised looks of people around him, Lin Shaowen immediately collected his mind and quickly ran back home.

The house had two bedrooms and a living room, apart from books, there were a lot of alcohol bottles.

His father, who died in the line of duty, after his mother's death, devoted his life mainly to reading and drinking, which ultimately led to heart attack and died in his position.

Lin Shaowen stared at the two black-and-white photos on the wall silently for a long while, gently touching the ring on his left ring finger.

"Whoosh!"

He has entered the ring.

The blinding sunlight causes Lin Shaowen to shield his eyes. At this moment, he is on a small island. The size of the island is similar to a sports stadium and, besides a small house, there's nothing else.

Sunlight, sandy beaches, coconut trees, and seagulls - he was utterly enamored. So much so that he felt that spending his whole life here wouldn't be too bad.

However, the towering clock tower not too far away from him reminded him that he could only stay inside the ring for two hours each day. Moreover, he could only fish thrice, regardless of whether he had any gains, he must return to the real world.

"Let's give it a try."

In his previous life, as a corporate slave, Lin Shaowen loved fishing; although he had limited finances, he still gritted his teeth and bought a fishing rod just so he could cast a line from time to time.

The fishing line formed a perfect parabola as it fell into the ocean.

Lin Shaowen waited quietly, and ten minutes later there was a sudden plunge of the bobber. He immediately gripped the rod and pulled it back. With a splash, a silver treasure chest emerged from the water.

"Obtained the martial arts scroll 'Bajiquan Essentials.' Do you wish to learn?" The System prompted.

Without a second thought, Lin Shaowen chose to study. In a strange world, nothing could be more reassuring than growing stronger oneself.

But as for catching a chest while fishing? That's utter nonsense.

Lin Shaowen made a comment, and then cast his line once again in silence.

"Obtained 'Body Strengthening Pill,' Do you wish to consume?"

"For consumption."

Lin Shaowen's eyes lit up, and then his body underwent a tremendous transformation.

His originally dark skin gradually became fair, and his thin physique slowly became robust, presenting the perfect golden ratio. The neat eight-pack abs on his abdomen indicated that the pill truly worked.

"Amazing."

After praising, Lin Shaowen took his last swing.

"You have received ten jin of pork, already stored in the hut."

"..."

Lin Shaowen became frustrated, what’s the use of having pork?

What he wanted was a medical-related skill. Although he was a factory doctor, he was a legitimate physician. In this era, professionals are scarce, and one cannot change their job as they wish.

As for running away, that's even more out of the question.

Once you leave the four-nine city, you need a letter of introduction, otherwise, they treat you as a spy and arrest you.

Having left the beach, Lin Shaowen took a deep breath.

He tidied up the house a bit, sorted through his belongings and placed them in his ring, cooked a bowl of noodles, casually picked a coconut from the beach as a drink, and that solved his dinner problem.

Coming to this world and acquiring a system has left his mind in chaos.

He can't fall asleep for a good while.

Reluctantly, he took out the Erguotou his father had left him, and after downing several mouthfuls, finally fell into a deep sleep.

The following day.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Who is it? It's early morning..." Lin Shaowen grumbled in annoyance.

"It's me, Old Zhang."

From behind the door, a man, full of vigor, shouted.

Old Zhang, Zhang Guoping.

His father's battle companion and the director of the logistics department in the Ministry of Industry.

"I'm coming."

Lin Shaowen hurriedly got up, wearing a full face smile, and opened the door, "Uncle Zhang, good morning."

"Morning my ass, it's already ten o'clock."

Zhang Guoping put the breakfast he brought on the table, pointed to his watch, and laughed and scolded, "You little brat, you're unwilling to go to Xiehe, and now you've run off to the steel rolling mill? Can there be any prospects there?"

"Uncle Zhang, Xiehe isn't lacking good doctors, but the workers at the steel rolling mill lack a good chief physician." Lin Shaowen's tone was low, "My father dedicated his whole life to the country, now... it's time for me."

It must be said, his acting skills were quite remarkable, as if it were real.

"Good lad."

Zhang Guoping patted his shoulder and praised, "I knew you were one of a kind, be quick, eat some breakfast, I'll drive you to work after you're done."

"There's no need." Lin Shaowen refused.

He was well aware of his situation. Zhang Guoping had come to collect the house this time.

God knows how many people in the Ministry of Industry were waiting for him to graduate from college, for him to move out. Once he left this door, all ties with the Ministry of Industry would be severed, so he didn't wish to trouble Zhang Guoping.
