Two weeks passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day before the college entrance examination. On the night of that day, Luo Yu sat on the ground sweating profusely, finally completing the last move of the body refining technique, and the system finally gave him a reward.
"Ding... The Body Refining Technique mission is complete. A prize disc draw is available, giving 10 attribute points. Would you like to start the draw?"
"yes."
The big disc began to spin. This time, there were several new options for the lottery. One was intermediate cooking skills, one was elementary music skills, one was elementary medical skills, and one was 10,000 attribute points. However, the grid for 10,000 attributes was too small, and the probability of being selected was only 1%.
The pointer slowed down, passed the elementary painting skills, passed the intermediate cooking skills, and then stopped on the blank grid.
"Thank you for your patronage, and please keep up the good work."
Luo Yu's face darkened. He had actually wasted an opportunity like this. He refused to admit defeat and bet the 10 attribute points he was awarded and started the lottery again. He couldn't believe that his luck was so bad this time that he would draw a blank space.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for winning the elementary music skill. Please check your receipt. This draw is over. The host's remaining attribute points are 0. Welcome to visit next time."
Luo Yu immediately checked his attribute page.
Host: Luo Yu
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Intelligence: 70 points (maximum value 100 points)
Beauty: 80 points (maximum value 100 points)
Temperament: 85 points (maximum value 100 points)
Physical fitness: 80 points (maximum value 100 points)
Remaining control points: 0
Skills: Photographic Memory (Intermediate), Cooking (Elementary), Music (Elementary)
In addition to gaining a skill called Music Skill, his physical fitness also increased by 10 points, thanks to practicing the Body Refining Technique. Although he had drawn a seemingly useless skill, Luo Yu felt comforted. At least he had won. It was like buying two lottery tickets. When one ticket didn't win, it felt terrible. But when the second ticket won, even though it was only 10 yuan, it felt comforting. At least his luck had been good.
On the day of the college entrance examination, candidates across the country are on high alert. Even the police and traffic police are ready at any time to prevent some students from missing the exam due to traffic jams and other reasons, and to help them in time.
The Chinese place great importance on the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination), believing it to determine a student's future. Consequently, some parents are even more nervous than the students themselves. Luo's father and mother were among them. Although the restaurant renovations were complete, they still had much to do. They dropped everything they were doing and insisted on sending Luo Yu to the school gates. By chance, they spotted Sun Minghao at the school gates, strolling towards them with his exam supplies.
"Uncle and aunt, are you bringing Luo Yu here?" Sun Minghao asked.
Because Sun Minghao and the other two had lunch at Luo Yu's house for the past two weeks, Luo's father and mother, who had been driven back, had run into each other several times and had eaten Luo's mother's cooking twice, so they became familiar with each other. Luo's mother Liu Fang also had a good impression of this handsome young man.
Most of the students at the school gate were brought here by their parents, many of whom were worried that their children might get into trouble on the way and miss the exam. Seeing Sun Minghao alone, Liu Fang couldn't help but ask, "Minghao, didn't your parents bring you here?"
"They had something to do and couldn't come, so I came by myself." Sun Minghao shrugged indifferently.
"Oh, so you and our Xiaoyu are in the same examination room?" Although she felt that Sun Minghao's parents' behavior was a bit inappropriate, it was not convenient for her to talk about other people's family affairs, so Liu Fang changed the subject.
"We're in the same examination room, so I'll have to trouble Luo Yu to take care of me later." Sun Minghao said in a somewhat obedient manner.
"That's not true. I also want you to help take care of Xiaoyu for me. You know, Xiaoyu is an introverted kid and has never had many friends. It's rare for him to make friends with you guys. You must help me take care of him later." Liu Fang said with a smile.
Sun Minghao patted his chest and said, "Since Auntie said so, I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation."
Luo Zhaoguo, who was standing next to him, checked the time and said to Liu Fang, "Okay, the exam is almost here, why are you still talking to the child so much?"
Liu Fang finally reacted and apologized to Sun Minghao, "Sorry, Auntie, you're so long-winded. You and Xiaoyu should go in quickly." After that, she turned to Luo Yu and said, "Xiaoyu, don't be nervous during the exam. Just take the exam as it should be. If you encounter something you don't know, just skip it and do the things you do know. OK?"
Listening to Liu Fang's caring words, Luo Yu didn't feel nagging at all, and nodded as he listened. After Liu Fang finished speaking, he and Sun Minghao walked into the school gate.
"Auntie is a really nice person, and her cooking is also good, although not as delicious as yours. Sometimes I really envy you for having parents who love you so much." Thinking of his parents whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Sun Minghao felt bitter in his heart.
As Luo Yu walked, he said calmly, "Every parent's love for their children is different. What you think may not be what you think. From another perspective, you may discover something you have never discovered before."
Luo Yu was usually the aloof type, not saying much, but Sun Minghao noticed that every word he said seemed to be on point and very reasonable. Sun Minghao looked at him and said, "Luo Yu, I think you can be a philosopher."
"Not interested." Luo Yu said and entered the examination room first.
Sun Minghao, who was following behind, smiled. This was the Luo Yu he knew. After spending more than two weeks with Luo Yu, he had a general understanding of Luo Yu's character and habits. If it were someone else, they would think Luo Yu was too arrogant, but Sun Minghao understood that Luo Yu was not arrogant, it was just his personality.
The first exam of the Gaokao finally began. The invigilator seemed to recognize Luo Yu and kept glancing at him from the start. Any other student would have felt nervous and stressed. But Luo Yu didn't feel a thing. From the moment the bell rang, he picked up his pen, looked at the questions, and wrote without a single pause. In less than fifteen minutes, he had answered all the questions. This time, he gave it his all, holding nothing back. When it came time to write his composition, he saw the title: "A Letter to Someone." This "someone" could be anyone.
This topic is very broad and may seem easy, but it is actually the most difficult. Because the topic is simple, the content of the essay can also be relatively simple. Without a certain level of literary skills, it is difficult to write an outstanding and touching essay.
After all, this exam was different from the last one. It wasn't just about which university to attend, but more importantly, the punishment, which Luo Yu simply couldn't accept. So, he decided to take a different approach with his essay. When he saw the topic, Luo Yu's first thought wasn't to write to his parents, but to his future self, who he didn't know.
The thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately picked up his pen and began writing. He effortlessly wrote an 800-word essay in fifteen minutes, meaning he'd finished the entire paper in half an hour. To prevent any mistakes, he took another two minutes to check. Once he was sure everything was correct, he slumped over the table and closed his eyes to rest.
Because Luo Yu had made such a big splash last time, many students knew him. They were surprised to see him stop writing after half an hour and then fall asleep on the table.
Did he finish so quickly? How could that be possible? They hadn't even started on the reading questions yet! How could the gap be so huge?
The three invigilators also noticed Luo Yu's abnormality and exchanged glances. One of the female invigilators walked over to Luo Yu's side, took a look at his test paper, and then a look of astonishment appeared on her face. She quickly left and returned to the other invigilators, saying softly, "He's finished."
What? So soon? The other two invigilators were also surprised. Before they arrived to invigilate, the principal had specifically asked them to keep an eye on Luo Yu and to help him if he encountered any problems. Upon learning that Luo Yu had the potential to become the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, Principal Zhang placed all his hopes on him. If Chongyang High School produced a top scorer, it would be a remarkable political achievement. He might even be promoted directly to a position in the Municipal Education Bureau.
The more he interacted with Luo Yu, the more Sun Minghao felt that he was incredibly talented. He could memorize everything he read, a page in two seconds. He could remember everything he saw. He could even look at the questions while he was working on them. For example, he could write down the answer to one question while his eyes were already on the next one. As soon as he finished one, he could immediately write down the answer to the next. Sun Minghao didn't know it at first, but after three days of sitting next to Luo Yu, he discovered this astonishing fact and had Luo Yu confirm it himself. From then on, he was filled with admiration for Luo Yu. He had thought his uncle was already perverted enough, but he had never imagined there could be someone even more perverted. So when Luo Yu stopped answering questions after half an hour, he wasn't surprised; he had become accustomed to it. He glanced up and continued working on his own test.
Luo Yu didn't hand in his paper early because he slept until the end of the exam. The moment the bell rang, he reflexively opened his eyes and handed in his paper.
"Luo Yu, how did you do in the exam?" Sun Minghao asked as he caught up with Luo Yu.
Luo Yu yawned, "It's okay, it's just that the table is too hard and it's not comfortable to lie on."
Sun Minghao was speechless. "Then do you want to bring a pillow this afternoon?"
"That's a good idea. I'll consider it." Luo Yu looked serious, as if he really had this idea.
“…”
After seeing Luo Yu and the other person come out, Liu Fang handed over the milk in her hand, "Are you hungry? Come, drink some milk first, and then we'll go back to eat."
"Mom, you don't have to wait." Luo Yu took the milk and said.
"It's okay. I'm almost done with the store anyway, so a day or two won't make a difference." Liu Fang said nonchalantly, "Go home, and Mom will make you your favorite food."
Sun Minghao took the other bottle of fresh milk from Liu Fang, his face moved, and he smiled and said to Liu Fang, "Thank you, Auntie."
Liu Fang waved her hand. "You're welcome. Didn't you say your parents were busy? Come to our house for dinner later. Didn't you say last time that you loved the curry beef I made? Auntie will make it for you."
"Is it really possible? Thank you, Auntie." Sun Minghao thanked happily.
"Just call me Aunt Fang from now on. Let's go back." Liu Fang said with a smile.
