Soon, all the street lights along the road came on.
These lamps are lighting fixtures that use "brown oil" as fuel, which is produced from the perennial tree-Stone Fruit Tree.
When the tree reaches twelve years of age, it will produce stone fruit. Its skin is as hard as a rock and contains thick, high-calorie oil called "stone pectin."
After refining this substance, brown oil can be obtained; the refining residue, mixed with sawdust, can be pressed into honeycomb fuel; the brown oil can then be mixed with resin, and can also be made into candles.
All in all, it has many uses.
Cheng Han felt that stone pectin was a bit like petroleum in his previous life.
The difference is that the latter is extracted from the ground, while the former grows from the tree.
ten minutes later.
Cheng Han rode his bicycle and arrived at the main entrance of Shanyifang.
The so-called "Shanyifang" is a welfare community built by the government. The civilians living here are all low-income families. There are more than 160 households in total. There are not many orphans like him.
Cheng Han jumped off the bicycle and pushed the bicycle towards the door.
"Woof! Woof!"
The loud barking of a dog came from the door.
Two majestic large bulldogs, as tall as an adult man's waist, trotted over, one on the left and the other on the right.
They are spiritual mastiffs, with intelligence comparable to that of a fifteen-year-old boy, and they can understand human language.
Mastiffs are working dogs with an "establishment" and are subordinate to the Inspection Bureau, which arranges a number of mastiffs for each community to act as security guards in residential areas.
Cheng Han immediately shouted: "Taozi, plum, it's me!"
The two mastiffs wagged their tails in a friendly manner.
The spiritual mastiff named "Peach" walked around Cheng Han, put his nose close to his schoolbag, and sniffed it carefully several times.
This is a routine inspection.
There are many hazardous items related to supernatural gods in this world. One of the responsibilities of the spiritual mastiff is to identify these items and prevent them from being brought into the community.
"Woof!"
Taozi barked, and the dog's head swung toward the door, as if to say: Go in.
Such a performance can be called a master.
Cheng Han waved his hands at them and passed through the gate of the community.
"Woof! Woof!"
The two spiritual mastiffs each responded and watched him enter the community.

The small apartment where Cheng Han lives has a layout of one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, with a total area of more than thirty square meters.
Before he reaches the age of sixteen, he does not need to pay a single copper coin for rent, and can receive twenty kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, and four hundred and fifty copper coins every month.
Looking back on his previous life, his shabby single room was only ten square meters, but the rent was as high as 1,500 yuan. He spent one-third of his salary. After deducting food, transportation, clothing and other expenses, there was not much left over every month.
Although there are no various household appliances in this world and the convenience of life is far inferior, the pressure of life is far less than that of the previous life.
Cheng Han put down his schoolbag and started making dinner.
First, pour a little brown oil into the stove, ignite it, and then put in a piece of honeycomb fuel. After a while, a hot flame came out.
I simply washed the rice, put it on the stove, grabbed a handful of white mushrooms and washed them twice, added some bacon, stir-fried it in an iron pot, and dinner was ready.
Cheng Han took a bite of the white mushroom and nodded slightly: "It tastes pretty good!"
The white mushroom contains a variety of amino acids, and the oil fully stimulates the umami flavor, which is no less delicious than the truffles in the previous life.
He deeply felt that the development and utilization of plants by humans in this world was far higher than that in another time and space.
Stone fruit trees are a typical example, and fungi are also an example.
Since time traveling, Cheng Han has bought at least sixty kinds of mushrooms at the vegetable market, and each one is delicious and not expensive.
After dinner, he entered the bedroom, lay on the bed, and his breathing soon became longer.
The school's meditation class teaches a technique called "Fushan Breathing Technique." According to Qiu Yuan, if you are proficient in this breathing technique, you can enter a deep sleep state in three minutes.
This method requires extremely high talent. Only one person in the class barely got started. After trying it out of ten times, only one or two times could lead to deep sleep quickly.
Even within the entire school, the number of entry-level students does not exceed fifteen.
Of course, the predecessor is not among them.
After Cheng Han traveled through time, he had a sudden idea and used skills to deduce the breathing method. He actually got feedback that if a certain detail was adjusted, it would help to master the breathing method.
He tried it and found that his sleep state was slightly improved.
Cheng Han was pleasantly surprised and decided to comprehensively improve the breathing method. After half a year of deduction, he finally got a brand new breathing method - Cheng's Breathing Method.
More importantly, this is a method that perfectly suits you.
Not only does it work, but the results are amazing.
You can enter a deep sleep state in two minutes, which is much better than Fushan breathing method.

after an hour.
Cheng Han woke up.
At this time, he felt energetic and his head no longer felt dizzy.
Checking the attributes, I saw that the mental value reached 7.2/13.2.
Compared with before, the mental value has been restored by 6.6 points.
This is the benefit of deep sleep.
Cheng Han imagined the image of the black cat and said silently: "Using the black cat we met previously as a clue, we can deduce what will happen to it in the next few days."
My scalp immediately felt cool.
But no message was received.
The deduction failed.
The mental value is reduced by 0.3 points.
Cheng Han took a few deep breaths and said silently for the second time: "Deduction."
The cool feeling appears again.
But still no feedback.
Failed again.
This is actually a normal phenomenon.
Based on past experience, the failure probability of using the Omniscient Eye is almost 85%, and success is rare.
Cheng Han tried five times in a row until he finally got feedback on the sixth deduction.
His eyes blurred, and a somewhat blurry illusory lens appeared:
The black cat jumped down from the wall and landed lightly on the ground. It screamed sharply and ran away not far away.
A second later, the shock suddenly changed.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared on the ground, and a black ghost claw flashed out from it and quickly grabbed the black cat.
The black cat seemed to be aware of it, and at the critical moment, it jumped up high.
The ghost claw immediately changed direction, touched the black cat's body like lightning, and then turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.
Something incredible happened.
The black cat's body seemed to have turned into a deflated balloon, deflating rapidly.
"Snapped!"
A complete piece of cat skin fell from mid-air to the ground with a soft sound.
Its flesh and blood mysteriously disappeared.
The camera freezes for a moment and then disappears.
A message came in a flash: "Proficiency +4, current proficiency is 20/1000, mental value is 2.4/13.2."
Cheng Han only felt horrified: "My previous hunch was correct. There is indeed something wrong with the black cat. Could the shadow and ghost claw be the power of the supernatural god?"
He never expected that a chance encounter on the way home would involve a terrifying supernatural god.
Cheng Han calmed down and began to analyze: "In the scene in the illusory shot, there is light rain in the sky, indicating that the ghost hand will appear on a rainy day.
"Judging from the black cat's actions, he probably ran away in panic after encountering something scary inside the wall, but he was unable to escape his bad luck."
He couldn't sit still: "There is a textile factory inside the wall. I'm afraid something big is going to happen there."
The ghost claw can suck up a black cat in an instant, so it is not difficult to kill someone. The factory is a crowded place, so if something happens, many people will definitely die.
Cheng Han used his omniscient eye again: "Deduce when it will rain."
The results came out quickly - there will be a light rain in the morning three days later.
This also means that the disaster will occur in three days.
Cheng Han pondered for a long time and made a decision: "Although I am currently unable to prevent the disaster, I can always call the police.
"Let's find out detailed evidence first, and then try to notify the authorities.
"The black cat is the predicted victim, and his fate is closely related to the ghost hand. It is naturally the best related item, which can greatly increase the success rate and deduce more information.
"I'll take a day off tomorrow to try to catch the black cat, and then use the omniscient eye to make further deductions."
