Chapter 91 I'm rich! It's all points!
Even Gu Yin, who was very confident about the exam, was forced to go home and fall asleep as soon as she finished the exam. She slept straight through until dawn, without even eating dinner. She was exhausted!
Because she hadn't eaten dinner, Gu Yin got up early in the morning. Seeing that her family hadn't gotten up yet, she chopped some meat into minced meat, added some seasonings, stir-fried it a few times, and set it aside. Then she cooked a pot of rice noodles. While waiting for the noodles to cook, she picked some bok choy. After the noodles were cooked, she scooped them out and put them in an empty bowl. Then she put the bok choy into the pot to blanch it, and put it all in the bowl with the minced meat. She mixed it a few times and then it was ready to be served.
Having just ladled out a bowl of mixed noodles, Gu Shu came out with a messy head of hair: "What did you make? It smells so good."
Gu Yin held out her hand to show him the bowl: "Mixed rice noodles, made for the whole family, come and eat after you've washed up."
Gu Shu nodded, quickly washed up, ladled out a bowl of noodles, and sat down next to Gu Yin.
He took a bite and found it wasn't very spicy, so he took the chili sauce and added a big spoonful, stirring it as he asked, "How did your grade skipping exam go? You came back and went straight to sleep yesterday, I didn't even have time to ask."
Gu Yin added some chili sauce, which made her throat a little sore, so she took a deep breath.
Gu Shu poured him a glass of water.
Reaching out to take it, she took a big gulp. After calming down, Gu Yin replied, "I think I did pretty well on the test. After all, I did all the questions and knew how to answer them. The teacher also gave me a score on the spot, so the result is very promising. I just don't know what my ranking is." She was referring to her school's ranking in the second year of junior high, not the city's ranking.
Gu Shu heard this and said enviously, "If I had a brain like yours, Jiang Gao would be a piece of cake! Keep it up!" After saying that, she quickly finished the rest of her noodles, then took the English study materials that she and Li Mingxuan had bought in the city a couple of days ago, pulled up a chair and sat down under the persimmon tree, and began to recite them.
Gu Yin smiled, and after finishing her meal, she soaked her family's clothes in a basin of water. Then she went to the chicken coop and took out a basin, put rice bran in it, poured in the leftovers from last night, added some water and stirred it. The chicken and duck feed was ready. After feeding the chickens and ducks, Gu Yin went into the storeroom and saw that there weren't many dried sweet potato vines left. She took a basket and went to the foot of the mountain to cut pig feed.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Li Fengni cutting pig feed. When she saw Gu Yin coming over, she smiled shyly.
Gu Yin greeted her, "Sister Fengni, you're up so early?"
Li Fengni nodded: "The pig feed is better before the sun comes out. Once the sun comes out, the pig feed will wilt, and the pigs won't have much of an appetite, so they won't get fat!"
After saying that, seeing that Gu Yin did not put down her basket, she smiled and said, "There are plenty here, enough for us to cut. You can put down your basket and cut."
There's a rule in the village: if someone gets there first, that place belongs to them. If you come later and try to take it from them, that's not fair and you'll be condemned. Gu Yin hadn't put down her tools yet because she was thinking of going in to cut the grass. After all, Li Fengni got there first, even though there was a lot of grass.
However, upon hearing Li Fengni's words, Gu Yin no longer stood on ceremony: "Then thank you, Sister Fengni!"
Li Fengni felt that Gu Yin was being too polite, but since she was well-educated, it was normal for her to be polite.
There was a moment of silence between them, so Li Fengni started a conversation: "I heard your brother got into a high school in the city, that's amazing!"
Gu Yin was taking out a sickle when she heard this and laughed, "Yes, it's nothing special, I just studied like crazy. By the way, Sister Fengni, you and my brother are in the same year, how did you do on your exam?"
Li Fengni was not good at studying. Given her family's situation in the past, she had no interest in studying at all. In addition, after what happened later, even though the police station did not report it to the school, the students in the village still spread the word at the school. Her classmates were afraid of her, which made her even less interested in studying.
"I didn't do well on the exam, but I won't continue studying. In another month, my dad will sell the pigs and go out to work with me!" Originally, she was going out with other people from the village, but Li Dahu was worried and went along too.
Gu Yin knew that since the middle school entrance exam, many students in the village who did not do well in school had no intention of continuing their studies. Someone called from G province, saying that the factory was recruiting temporary workers. The pay was less than that of regular workers, but room and board were provided. All the recent junior high school graduates in the village were tempted.
Gu Yin sighed: "Aren't you going to continue studying? Even if you don't get into university, you'll be better off working after you get into high school than you are now. Besides, you'll be an adult by then, with an ID card, and you won't be a temporary worker anymore."
Li Fengni shook her head: "No, I can't learn it. My dad used to be a permanent employee. We can save some money together and renovate the house when we come back for the New Year!" She was full of expectations for the future, but she still had to report to the judicial authorities before leaving. Officer Wang said that there shouldn't be any problems with her going to another province.
Gu Yin didn't try to persuade her anymore. Everyone has their own way of living. If it's not a path that's suitable for someone, forcing them to walk it won't make them happy, and it might even make things worse in the end.
"I'll tell my grandma later that my brother will need meat for his graduation banquet, and she can buy it directly from your house!"
Li Fengni nodded excitedly, "Really?! Thank you so much! I'll definitely fatten it up this month! You won't regret it!"
Since it wasn't Chinese New Year, no one was buying a whole pig. Selling it to the slaughterhouse would be very cheap, and Li Dahu was almost driven crazy with worry. He was even thinking that if all else failed, he could ask someone to help raise it and then share half with them during the Chinese New Year.
The two cut for a while longer, and Li Fengni's basket was full. She originally wanted to help Gu Yin cut more, but when she saw Gu Shu coming over, she left first.
Gu Shu came over to help, and soon the basket was full. With Gu Yin's help, they carried the basket on their backs and went home together.
The results came out a bit late this time. It wasn't until four days after the exam, still late at night, that 001 started setting off fireworks in Gu Yin's mind.
Gu Yin was completely bewildered when she woke up to a space filled with fireworks.
Gu Yin said helplessly, "It's the middle of the night, and I need to rest instead of you. What are you doing?"
001 twirled around with two fairy wands: "Congratulations, host, on completing the main quest! Your final exam results are in the top 100 in the city, and you ranked 85th! Reward: 3 points, one chance to draw a prize! Congratulations, host, on completing the side quest and successfully skipping a grade! You ranked first in the entire school! Reward: 1 point! You're getting more and more amazing! Keep it up!"
Gu Yin's eyes lit up; the results were out!
What is my total score?
001 waved a fairy wand made of data and exclaimed excitedly, "Perfect score! Perfect score in Chinese and English this time too! No points were deducted for the composition! But all of the top 100 got perfect scores! The host is only in the top 85 thanks to publishing an article in 'Youth Ambition' and becoming an intern contracted author, as well as two city-level certificates. Otherwise, you would have been around 150!"
Gu Yin knew this would happen.
"But don't worry, host. The college entrance examination is the fairest system! It only adds points for ethnic minorities, and it doesn't add points for other certificates! As long as you continue to maintain this level, becoming the top scorer is within your reach! You'll even be guaranteed admission! The gifted youth program is also an option!"
Gu Yin's face darkened. This guy had looked up the gifted youth class after Gu Yin mentioned it before. After looking it up, he regretted it. If he had known that such a class existed, he would have forced Gu Yin to take the exam!
Gu Yin ignored it: "Add all four points to Luck."
001 became serious upon hearing this: "Yes, host! Bound to: Gu Yin"
Stamina: 70, not bad (would collapse in a strong wind).
Intelligence: 65, so-so (better than an idiot).
Beauty, 50, just passing grade (the beauty elixir of the cultivation world is worth having).
Luck, 52, passing grade (Finally, you're not the unlucky one anymore!)
After 001 finished speaking, it flew to Gu Yin and asked, "Want to draw a prize now?"
This was Gu Yin's second time participating in a lottery. She nodded and said, "Go ahead and draw!"
A lottery button appeared, and Gu Yin clicked it. A box popped up shortly after, and Gu Yin clicked it again. The sound of coins clattering filled the air.
Gu Yin and 001 were both stunned. A golden message appeared in front of them: "40 points have been credited to your account. Please check."
001 jumped up: "Oh my god, I'm rich! I even have points! I didn't even know! Did the system see you were too poor and give you these specially?"
Even the usually calm Gu Yin felt her heart pounding: "I don't know, but I've definitely struck it rich!"
"Host! Upgrade the shop?!"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I don't need much right now, and the items in the shop are expensive. I still can't afford them after the upgrade. Seeing them but not being able to use them is a test of my endurance! I'll allocate all 40 points, adding 10 points to each attribute!" Keeping points is really useless now; it's better to improve my attributes. Why add beauty too? Because a good appearance gives a better impression!
001 performs another operation: "Binding object: Gu Yin"
Stamina: 80, very strong! (Enough to defeat an adult male!)
Intelligence: 75, some aptitude (beginner level)
Beautiful, 60, a pretty young woman (delicate and pretty!).
Luck, 62, normal (You're quite lucky!)
Upon seeing the last comment, Gu Yin blinked: "A bit of luck? Does that mean my luck has improved?"
001 flew back to the system space: "I won't tell you, you'll have to figure it out yourself! Go to sleep!" After saying that, she pulled the small blanket next to her over and covered the fluffy little body.
Gu Yin: "...You need to sleep even with a string of data?" Gu Yin had barely finished speaking when a loud snoring sound echoed through the space.
Okay, she can't sleep now, she's excited anyway, so she might as well not sleep and go straight to the library to study!
