Chapter 178, Part 2: Tying Up the Boat
"It's finals week, honey! Did you sleep yourself silly?"
"..."
Yu Wanwan then realized that it was indeed the end of the semester.
Since this set of inherited test questions was certified by those medical giants, who stamped its authenticity and authority...
During final exam week, countless medical students flock to Baicaogong to cram for practice questions.
Although they couldn't achieve such a high accuracy rate, practicing the basic question types in this set of questions was much more effective than painstakingly searching for review materials everywhere.
As for why we don't print out the test questions and practice them offline?
Of course, when you practice coding problems offline, no one checks your work, but it's different online. Once you finish writing and submit it, you get a result in less than a minute.
Fast, effective, and accurate.
Yes, her idea at the time was to leave a legacy for the world, and she didn't restrict professions.
Therefore, even if you are not a wet nurse, you can still receive the inheritance quest as long as you talk to the Palace Master.
Yu Wanwan scratched the back of her head.
"I really forgot."
As they spoke, the long queue moved forward even further.
They had already entered the main hall of the Hundred Herbs Palace.
Unlike the bustling crowd outside.
There were many people in the palace, but few of them spoke.
Only those who were about to receive a task would mutter to themselves and quietly pray a few words to the palace master sitting at the head of the table.
Taking advantage of the orc's height, Yu Wanwan easily looked over the heads of the players in front of her and her gaze fell on the palace master sitting on the vine throne at the head of the table.
She wore a jade-green palace dress that symbolized vitality and hope; as the hem of her dress swayed, it seemed as if ripples were flowing through it.
Her face is exquisite and beautiful; every line has been meticulously sculpted by the modeler and is impeccable.
It was a face... exactly like hers.
Further up, the title on her head was clearly visible to Yu Wanwan.
[Yu Wanwan, Palace Master of Baicao Palace]
Gazing at the body she once used from this perspective, Yu Wanwan felt a complex mix of emotions.
However, there are still differences.
The palace master had her eyes lowered, exuding a gentle compassion for humanity.
It is the image of a doctor who saves lives and helps the world in the public's perception.
For her, gentleness was merely the most convenient cloak she chose after experiencing countless tribulations.
Beneath this gentle exterior lies only endless indifference.
"Hey, it seems like Boss Xingzhou hasn't arrived yet today?"
"Hmm? I didn't see it."
"Tell me, why does Boss Xingzhou come here every single day without fail? He doesn't seem to be a medical student."
"Who knows? If they knew, would it still be one of the Ten Great Unsolved Mysteries of the Nine Provinces?"
"That's true, I just don't know if he'll come today. I'd love to see the legendary figure up close!"
The hushed whispers of the surrounding players pulled Yu Wanwan back from her wandering thoughts.
The group was still moving slowly, and since waiting was boring anyway, she decided to start digging into Yu Tian's memories again.
This rummaging was like opening a book called Gossip.
A dazzling array of gossip comes your way, ranging from international current events to neighborhood gossip.
"..."
Yu Wanwan pressed her temples, somewhat amused and exasperated, and discarded the information that had nothing to do with the Nine Provinces.
Soon, they found the top ten unsolved mysteries of the Nine Provinces that the people around them were discussing.
The most pressing question, of course, is which pervert designed the lineage of Baicao Palace.
When Kyushu first launched, the first batch of healers who reached the required level went in full of confidence, only to come out looking dazed and with blank stares.
This incident was posted online by a busybody, who mocked this generation of healers for being incompetent, unable to even obtain the ultimate skill.
These wet nurses were naturally unhappy to be insulted like that, and indignant, they decided to organize and upload the whole story.
They also included a screenshot of the test questions that they had casually taken.
When professionals saw this comprehensive set of questions, the entire medical community was shaken.
Countless medical experts and scientific research leaders flocked to the game, treating the unanswered questions as if they had found a treasure.
When the research institute drew inspiration from these test questions, it developed a special drug that could cure what was almost an incurable disease.
The value of the Baicaogong Heritage Examination Questions has been elevated to an unprecedented level.
In such a situation, the government certainly cannot remain indifferent to the investigation.
The game companies all protested their innocence, repeatedly assuring that this legacy mission had nothing to do with them and was not within their design scope.
They had already noticed this bug when the game was first released and tried to remove and fix it.
Unfortunately, no one in the entire game company could do that.
The authorities used all sorts of methods, investigating the ancestors of the people at the game company for eighteen generations, but they still couldn't find any useful information.
Ultimately, the heritage was preserved due to its undeniable value, and even received official tacit approval and promotion.
Second on the list is Wanxi Xingzhou, the top figure in Kyushu.
Upon seeing this ID, Yu Wanwan was stunned.
Four simple words, yet they stirred ripples in my usually calm heart.
Time flows at a different rate in each world.
Time has lost its meaning in the myriad realms.
In all the myriad realms, no one would deliberately keep track of time.
It can be roughly estimated that she has been separated from him for nearly 10,000 years.
Yu Wanwan lowered her eyes, carefully burying away the longing that hadn't yet surfaced.
She had looked into his situation before she came.
The book was nearing its end, and his strength had steadily broken through to the third level of the seventh realm.
It will be soon.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to meet once she leaves this world.
After composing herself, Yu Wanwan continued reading.
Wanxi Xingzhou is a human sword cultivator who specializes in melee combat.
He was a player who joined the game at launch and immediately topped all the overall leaderboards.
Ten years have passed, and still no one has been able to dethrone him from the top spot.
What baffles players is that this powerful figure, whose strength and wealth are so overwhelming that they inspire despair.
I take some time every day to sit in the main hall of Baicao Palace for a while.
He didn't do anything, didn't accept any missions, didn't communicate with anyone, and didn't disturb other people's missions. He just stared at the palace master in a daze.
This behavior, which seemed strange to players, he had done for ten years without fail.
People who were close to him asked him why, but unfortunately, he didn't say anything.
The emotions that had been so hard to suppress surged up again in an instant.
Yu Wanwan's eyelashes trembled violently.
If the phrase "绾系行舟" (tie the boat) could be considered an accident, then...
Such strange behavior was enough for Yu Wanwan to be certain.
It was him.
"What are you daydreaming about! Hurry up! It's our turn!"
Someone grabbed her arm and shook her for a while, bringing Yu Wanwan back to her senses.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to rush to him at all costs.
"Um."
Just a few steps up, a deliberately suppressed, excited shout came from behind.
"It's Boss Xingzhou!"
"Wow, looks like I'm in luck today! I actually ran into the legendary Xingzhou!"
"May the boss bless me so I can win this guild war!"
Yu Wanwan paused, then turned around almost urgently.
A swordsman in blue bypassed the long queue and slowly walked up the steps.
The commotion around him, like pebbles thrown into a deep pool, failed to create even the slightest ripple on his body.
It didn't even attract his attention in the slightest.
This person was completely different from the one she remembered—someone who always smiled gently and would occasionally act like a rascal and pester her.
The person in front of me seemed to be shrouded in an invisible barrier, cold and aloof.
He was isolated from all the noise and bustle around him, as if no sound could penetrate him.
Even that face was completely unfamiliar to Yu Wanwan.
No matter how many worlds have changed, his appearance has never changed.
It's always the same face; at most, it's just a different world, with some subtle changes depending on the character's persona.
But Yu Wanwan was certain that she had never seen this handsome and aloof face before.
His behavior was exactly as described in the forum posts.
After reaching the top of the steps, he went straight to a corner and casually sat down on the ground.
With the long sword resting on his knees, facing the palace master who was being relentlessly stabbed by Lin Xiaoxiao, he began his daily routine of spacing out.
From beginning to end, he didn't spare even a glance for anyone around him.
Including Yu Wanwan, who was watching him.
My gaze fell on his eyes.
His eyes were empty, devoid of any extra emotion.
There was no nostalgia, no sadness, not even a focus.
Honestly, I was just spacing out.
Yu Wanwan narrowed her eyes, a sense of heaviness settling over her.
Something's wrong with him, very wrong!
My arm was pulled again.
"Stop looking! What's more important for a man than an exam? Hurry up and get on the mission. Who knows how long you'll be doing practice questions!"
Yu Wanwan gave a soft "hmm," looked away, casually tapped the Palace Master, and accepted the task as instructed.
After accepting the mission, she didn't even glance at the mission log. Carrying the heavy shield, she turned and walked towards the corner.
Lin Xiaoxiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and she subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull her.
"Where are you going?!"
Are you out of your mind?!
This big shot is usually very easy to talk to, but if you disturb him while he's daydreaming in the Hundred Herbs Palace, you're doomed!
Unfortunately, the person who looked as bulky as a small mountain was surprisingly agile at this moment.
The speed was so fast that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even get to touch a single scale of the armor.
Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to that big shot, Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and followed him.
Oh well, they're sisters after all.
She's a mage, after all; maybe... she can lend a hand when she's being attacked?
Those below who witnessed this scene all stopped what they were doing.
Everyone craned their necks and stared wide-eyed in that direction.
Curiosity, surprise, schadenfreude... all sorts of gazes intertwined, focusing on the audacious orc.
Yu Wanwan ignored all of this, walked firmly to him, and slammed her shield into the ground.
The shield collided with the white jade ground, producing a dull hum.
Lin Xiaoxiao gasped, instinctively taking a step back and covering her eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.
"It's all over, it's all over..."
She's going to get beaten up, and I wonder if she can even keep her newly made gold armor!
With her view abruptly blocked, a hint of displeasure flashed across Wanxi Xingzhou's eyes as she looked up expressionlessly.
A muscular man with a full beard supported a giant shield with one hand, while his sword twirled nimbly in his other hand.
Their eyes met.
The orc giant slowly raised his rough, messy eyebrows, smiling before he even spoke.
Is it pretty?
