Chapter 357 It is a regret in my life that I failed to pass the exam!
Game advancement,
The second generation of Krypton inherited the title of head of the family. The family compound was brightly lit and the members each performed their duties.
Continue farming, the grain output is stable, triggering the [New Rice Variety] event, grain +200
As a scholar, Krypton Jiye continues to prepare for the exam, and his literary talent increases by +1 every day.
The family population continued to grow, and Ke Jiye found a matchmaker to marry him.
Choose [Scholarly Woman Zhang], spend 5,000 in betrothal gifts, and the marriage will be successful.
"Ke Jiye, you have to have a baby too! Let's go to the third generation of the family."
"The main plot of our second generation is to help Ke Jiye pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, or even a high-ranking official! The hereditary points all depend on this imperial examination line!"
She filled Ke Jiye's schedule: go to the private school to review in the morning, attend lectures at the county school in the afternoon, and read some books before going to bed at night.
Literature points continue to increase.
The barrage immediately followed suit:
[Krypton inherits the business, the second generation is about to ascend]
[Ke Jiye: I am a reading machine]
[The ancestor Ke Budong started out as a businessman, and the second generation took the imperial examination. The family background is becoming more and more rich.]
[No. 1 goes to listen to the sutras, No. 2 goes to the restaurant, No. 3 lives in a private school...]
[Sister Xue, you want to go straight for the top spot, right?]
"That's a must."
The mountains are proud of the snow,
"Hereditary points are so hard to accumulate, the most reliable way is to have the clan leader become a high-ranking official! The higher the official, the higher the hereditary point reward! The first generation only gets 60 points, I don't believe the second generation will only get this much if they become an official."
So in the following game time, almost all of Krypton Jiye's actions were arranged by Shan Zhongxue to read, make friends, and participate in various literary gatherings.
[Ke Jiye participated in the county school debate, literary talent +2, reputation +5]
[Ke Jiye corrected a classmate's essay, literary talent +1]
[Ke Jiye gets to know his classmate Zhao Ziqin, who may provide assistance in future events]
One day, the screen popped up:
Ke Jiye has been invited by his classmates to go on a boat trip on the Bian River. Do you agree to go?
[Choice: Go (200 funds required) / Decline]
Shan Zhongxue was stunned and raised his eyebrows:
"A cruise on the Bian River? Sounds like a high-end event where you can meet celebrities and write poetry!"
"Of course we have to go!" The snow in the mountains fell quickly.
"Isn't this an opportunity to improve your reputation and literary talent?"
The scene shifts to reveal a rippling lake. Ke Jiye, dressed in Confucian robes, boards a carved pleasure boat. Several celebrities chat and laugh cheerfully on board, the aroma of tea mingling with the sounds of stringed instruments.
The first round of poetry
[Krypton's poetry talent is outstanding, literary talent +2, reputation +10]
Shan Zhongxue: "Okay, okay, this is the level of my current clan leader!"
The second round of debates,
[Krypton Jiye argues for his point and is praised, reputation +5]
The snow in the mountain was secretly happy:
"This wave of boat activities is a huge experience gift package!"
In the third round, the theme was changed to "On the Way of Academic Research in the World".
In the picture, a young scholar with more elegant clothes and extraordinary demeanor slowly stood up.
Holding a folding fan, he began to speak by quoting from classics, his words like pearls falling on a jade plate, full of imposing power.
System prompts:
[Random Event - Meeting the "Genius Literary Rising Star" Liu Yunsheng]
However, the following conversation was a complete crush.
Liu Yunsheng refuted Ke Jiye with his brilliant argument, Ke Jiye's literary talent -1
Liu Yunsheng suppressed him with his poetry, and Ke Jiye was overwhelmed by his talent. His literary talent was -2, and his morale was -10.
In the picture, Ke Jiye was silent for a moment, forcing a smile, but it was obvious that he could no longer speak.
Shan Zhongxue's heart skipped a beat: "This... this isn't a friendly exchange, this is a blow!"
The theme of the fourth round is impromptu poetry writing.
Liu Yunsheng wrote a seven-character regulated verse in just a few moments, and all the famous people on the boat applauded.
After Ke Jiye received the assignment, he had just written two sentences when the system prompted:
[The mind is in a trance, the poetry is broken, and the work is mediocre]
[Krypton Successor Reputation -5, Morale -3]
[Krypton feels frustrated, morale -20]
[Reputation -10]
The boat tour ends and the scene switches back to the family compound.
[Ke Jiye's self-confidence was shattered, and he entered a state of "low will", and the growth rate of his literary talent was halved]
Shan Zhongxue frowned as he watched: "It's over, this kid's self-confidence is about to collapse."
"This is the second generation that was nurtured with all our money!"
The barrage is full of "ah this":
[The imperial examination is going to be a failure now]
【Liu Yunsheng is simply a plot killer】
Second Generation: My studies were in vain.
Liu Yunsheng: I'm not targeting you, I'm talking to everyone here...
[Is this the legendary dimensionality reduction attack? ]
In the following days, Shan Zhongxue clearly felt that Ke Jiye was "passive and slow to work".
Worse still, the "slump" not only affects learning, but also triggers additional events:
[Ke Jiye was absent from the prefectural trial lecture due to emotional distress]
[Ke Jiye refuses to participate in the poetry reading]
Ke Jiye is depressed and starts drinking to relieve his sorrow (Health -2)
[Ke Jiye ran into an old friend in a teahouse and talked about Liu Yunsheng's talent. Morale -5]
"It's over. In this state, let alone passing the exam, it might be difficult for me to even go out."
The snow in the mountains sighed.
"Who can handle this!" Shan Zhongxue was anxious. "No, I have to give him a plot twist to restore his confidence!"
She quickly asked Ke Jiye to participate in local poetry gatherings and visit famous teachers, but unfortunately, the results of these events were almost all "very ineffective":
Ke Jiye studies hard, but is always overwhelmed by Liu Yunsheng's shadow.
Not long after, a new system prompt popped up on the screen:
[Long-term illness - Ke Jiye caught a cold due to depression]
[Please choose: Seek medical treatment (cost 2000 funds) / Pray for peace (cost 500 funds, 50% success rate)]
Shan Zhongxue gritted his teeth and said, "It must be treated. Don't save this money!"
However, although the treatment was effective, the condition recurred and the system repeatedly prompted:
[Ke Jiye missed this year's imperial examination due to illness]
[Morale -5, Reputation -10]
The barrage has begun to light candles:
I'm afraid I can't make it through this.
[Liu Yunsheng's blow directly discounted the second generation of the Krypton family]
[It's over. I shouldn't have gotten treatment. All the money has gone down the drain!]
[It has to be treated, I can't bear it!]
Not long after, the screen went black again, and a cold message appeared on the system:
Ke Jiye became ill from overwork and remained bedridden for three years. He was unable to recover and passed away at the age of thirty-six.
End of the second generation inheritance
Barrage of candles:
The story of the second generation is really short
[The ancestors made their fortune through business, but the second generation failed in the imperial examinations]
[This NPC has a strong sense of destiny]
[Ke Jiye sighed on his sickbed: "It is a regret in my life that I was not able to pass the imperial examination..."]
Shan Zhongxue in the live broadcast room was stunned for a full five seconds:
"...Ah, you're only halfway through the game and you're already giving up?"
The top of the screen lights up:
End of the second generation inheritance
Family funds: 6450
Reputation: 551
Events completed: 12
Family members: 9
Hereditary Point Reward: 20
Shan Zhongxue sighed:
"Alas, this second generation failed to become a high-ranking official. All that time spent on training was wasted."
"This game is too difficult. They only gave me 20 hereditary points! You should be more generous!"
"My family's population has never grown! I'm convinced!"
Shan Zhongxue was silent for a few seconds, but she soon became alert again:
"It's okay, I will definitely turn the tables on the third generation!"
The scene switches, and the third generation patriarch [氪成祖] appears. He is only fourteen years old, with bright eyes.
"I feel like I have to go the commercial route this time!"
