Chapter 202 Imperial Examination
Night fell, and the room was quiet. Yuan Bao lay quietly on the bed, looking out the window at the sky swallowed by the night. Suddenly, his mood inexplicably plummeted.
The time spent with Yao Yao during the day brought back memories of the past that she had deliberately avoided yet which were still faintly present, flooding her mind like a tide and causing a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Just then, Little 9's round body gently nudged Yuan Bao, and its cute voice rang out in the silence: "My lord, let bygones be bygones, you must learn to let go. You still have me, and the future will definitely get better and better!"
Although Xiao 9's tone was childish, it carried an undeniable seriousness.
Hearing Xiao 9's heartwarming words, Yuan Bao felt a little of the gloom in his heart dissipate, and a warm current flowed through him.
She turned her head and looked at Little 9's adorable appearance. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and she softly replied, "Yes, Little 9, with you by my side, the days ahead will definitely be good."
After saying that, Yuan Bao reached out and gently touched Xiao 9's head, as if drawing strength to continue moving forward from that gentle touch.
Yuan Bao adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position and logged back into the game.
Back in the game world, it's another new day.
As soon as Yuan Bao opened her eyes, she felt a surge of happiness. There she was, sitting at the dining table in the courtyard with her grandparents, parents, and older brother, having her first breakfast since moving here.
"This game world is really great," Yuan Bao thought to himself.
My grandparents, who are no longer with me in real life, and my father are all sitting here with me, all of them well and making a lively scene.
Her uncle and aunt were also there; none of her family members whom she cared about were left out.
Yuan Bao felt reassured when he remembered that he had given everyone cell recovery pills before.
In the future, our loved ones will no longer have to suffer from illness and pass away like they do in real life.
They can all stay healthy.
However, Yuan Bao also had a small regret in his heart.
In the real world, her beloved son, Xiao Zhi, is not in this game world.
However, in the game world right now, she's still a little girl, so how could she have Ash Ketchum?
Thinking of this, Yuan Bao sighed slightly. This was the only regret in this happy life.
After breakfast, my grandparents, as usual, leisurely went out to take a walk around the neighborhood and get familiar with their new surroundings.
Yuan Bao watched their departing figures, a smile appearing on his lips. He then turned and went back to his room, gently closing the door behind him.
Immediately afterward, Yuan Bao had a thought and instantly entered the space.
The practice room inside the space is quiet and spacious, with a faint spiritual aura permeating the surroundings.
Yuan Bao stood in the center of the practice room, took a deep breath, and as the melodious and ethereal music slowly began to play, she began to dance gracefully.
Her posture is like that of a fairy in the Dunhuang murals, sometimes spinning, sometimes stretching, every move showing the mystery and grace of Dunhuang dance.
The first rehearsal for the city's New Year's Eve gala is just around the corner, which is of great importance to Yuan Bao.
Therefore, Yuan Bao decided to dedicate his morning exercise time to practicing Dunhuang dance, striving to perfect every movement and hoping to amaze everyone during rehearsals.
Just as Yuan Bao was immersed in dance practice, giving her all to every movement, a crisp "ding!" suddenly broke the tranquility of the practice room. It turned out that the system had issued a new task.
Yuan Bao was slightly taken aback, then stopped what he was doing, raised his hand to gently wipe away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and a hint of curiosity and anticipation flashed in his eyes.
She opened the task posting interface and saw a new task called "Imperial Examination" come into view.
Upon closer inspection, this so-called imperial examination is actually a timed question-and-answer task. As long as you answer 20 questions correctly within the specified time, you can earn 200 game points and also qualify to participate in the "Imperial Examination".
Yuan Bao couldn't help but be tempted, and quickly called out, "Little 9, Little 9! Come out quickly, let me ask you, what kind of questions are on this imperial examination?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Little 9 appeared in front of Yuan Bao like a shooting star. Its round body habitually spun around in the air before coming to a steady stop. It replied in its cute, childlike voice, "Master, the scope of the imperial examination is very broad, covering many fields such as history, literature, science, geography, and current events."
But don't worry, the system gives you plenty of time, and the questions aren't too difficult. With your intelligence, you'll definitely be able to handle them easily. Why not give it a try?
Little 9 paused for a moment, then excitedly introduced, "If you answer 20 questions correctly, you can participate in the 'Imperial Examination'! This 'Imperial Examination' is amazing! You get 100 points for each correct answer, isn't that awesome!"
"Wow! How many questions are there in the 'Imperial Examination'?" Yuan Bao's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't wait to ask.
“The ‘Imperial Examination’ also has 20 questions!” Little 9 answered crisply.
"Oh my god!"
Yuan Bao exclaimed inwardly, "If I answer all the questions in this 'Imperial Examination' correctly, that's a whopping 2 points! I'm rich, I'm rich, I've hit the jackpot!"
Thinking of this, Yuan Bao rubbed his hands together, eager to try. His body, which was originally tired from dance practice, seemed to be full of energy at this moment, and he decided to take on this brand new quiz task immediately.
Unable to contain his excitement, Yuan Bao immediately clicked "Participate" next to the "Imperial Examination" option.
In an instant, the interface flashed with light, followed by the system's crisp notification sound: "Question 1: What is the second half of the poem line 'Distant trees lead the traveler'?"
This was a piece of cake for Yuan Bao, who was well-versed in poetry and literature.
Without a moment's hesitation, she blurted out, "A lonely city under the setting sun."
"Correct answer." The system's emotionless voice rang out immediately.
The second question then appeared: "How many years did the Qin Dynasty last?"
Yuan Bao quickly recalled the knowledge points from his history textbook and answered without hesitation, "Fifteen years."
"correct answer."
Question 3: Fill in the blank with an idiom: 穷兵___武?
Yuan Bao responded almost instinctively: "War-struggling and militarism."
As questions kept popping up, covering literature, history, geography, and general knowledge, just as Xiao 9 said, the difficulty wasn't too high.
Yuan Bao was fully focused, his eyes glued to the screen, his brain working at lightning speed. With his solid knowledge and quick thinking, he dealt with the situation methodically.
"Question Four..."
Time ticked by, but Yuan Bao's speed in answering the questions did not decrease at all.
She could quickly and accurately answer every question, just like a seasoned general calmly commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield.
Finally, after answering the last question, the system notification sounded again: "Congratulations, you have answered all questions correctly and have earned 200 points and the qualification to participate in the 'Imperial Examination'."
Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile spreading across his face, his eyes filled with the joy of success.
