The physical reward given by the system is a high-level medicine in the shape of a pill.
Earlier, Chen Cui had thought about saving up 10,000 shopping points to buy Mu Erpang an Advanced Enlightenment Pill.
The specific description of [Advanced Enlightenment Pill] is that it can greatly improve a specified attribute among IQ, EQ, memory, imagination, and charm.
Later, while Chen Cui was saving up shopping points, she asked the system, saying that Mu Erpang had grown to the point where, apart from his exceptionally high luck value, his overall aptitude, averaging out the other items, was close to 80. In this case, how much could the "substantially improved" in the system description improve?
The system did not play any consumer trap with her, telling her that she would know after buying it and trying it. Instead, it told her honestly: [The host should know that the higher the attribute, the harder it is to increase. Just like the luck value of training subject No. 1 is 90 points, it is almost impossible to increase it. Now his other attributes are all around 80, and the so-called "significant increase" is at most about 5 points. 】
After getting this answer, Shen Cui temporarily put the plan on hold, because growing from 80 to 90, although difficult, is still possible.
Just like Wei Xi's overall qualification was 88 at the beginning, after a few years, through his own efforts and the help of the system, as well as the broadening of his horizons after entering the provincial school, his overall qualification has risen to 90.
Therefore, Shen Cui still hopes to let Mu Erpang grow on his own during this period. When his attributes reach 90 points and he can no longer improve through his own efforts, he can take this expensive medicine.
This time, when she saw that the reward was in the shape of a pill, Shen Cui subconsciously thought it was the [Advanced Enlightenment Pill] worth 10,000 points.
After a closer look, I found out that it was different. It was a [Marrow Cleansing Pill].
The name sounds like the medicine used to improve internal strength or cultivation in martial arts or fairy tales, but it actually means to wash away "impurities".
In martial arts and fairy tale novels, the "impurities" in the human body are of course things that are not conducive to practicing martial arts.
In this plane, "impurities" are the "settings" imposed on Mu Erpang by the laws.
After getting this thing, Shen Cui also sighed a little.
After all, if she had obtained this thing three years ago, she could have directly erased Mu Erpang's "settings", and she wouldn't have to spend so much effort guiding Mu Erpang to study, cultivating his study habits, etc. She didn't know how much energy and time she could have saved.
But it is easy to understand. If such a thing is given at the beginning, the difficulty of Shen Cui's mission will be greatly reduced.
After she has trained Mu Erpang onto the path of imperial examinations and broken the shackles of most of the rules, she will give it to him, which will be more in line with the system's purpose of only providing auxiliary gains and props.
What Shen Cui was really lamenting about was not the timing, but after such a long period of training and watching her fat son work so hard, it turned out that until now, he still had the "settings" given by the rules in his body?
There was nothing good about the "setting" of this broken rule for the teenagers in her own academy, so Shen Cui prepared to let Mu Erpang eat it on the way when the mother and son were alone.
There was just one problem. Mu Erpang had eaten a system pill once before. At that time, he was not yet intelligent. Shen Cui casually said that it was a sugar pill given by Zheng, so he believed it without a doubt. He complained that it was unpalatable but still swallowed it.
Now that he is so smart, he will definitely not believe those words that are used to coax children.
Besides, who would take medicine for fun when they are not sick or in pain?
Chen Cui was thinking with a complicated expression. Mu Erpang raised his eyes from the book and asked, "What are you thinking about, mother? You have been thinking about it for almost half an hour. I told you directly about my worries before, why are you hiding it from me?"
Well, there's no need to think in circles when it comes to the child you've raised.
Shen Cui reached into her purse and made a gesture of taking something out, but in fact she took out the [Marrow Cleansing Pill] from the system warehouse, and then said: "I have one here..."
Mu Erpang interrupted and asked, "Is it for me?"
Shen Cui nodded, "Of course it's for you, this pill..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Erpang had already reached out to take the pill and put it in his mouth.
Of course, he would not chew up pills like sugar pills, so he quickly swallowed them into his stomach with his throat moving.
Shen Cui asked hesitantly, "I haven't even told you what it is yet, and you ate it straight away?"
Mu Erpang leaned back against the wall of the car and continued reading. He smiled and said, "If my mother wants me to eat, I will eat. How can my mother harm me?"
"I definitely won't harm you, but what if I get tricked and fooled into thinking that it's good, but it's actually not good for you..."
Mu Erpang still laughed, "Is my mother that stupid?"
Since he had taken it, he didn't ask any more questions, so Shen Cui stopped worrying about it and concentrated on waiting to see the results.
The things produced by the system never have any side effects, and this time it was the same for Mu Erpang. He didn't feel any discomfort, but after reading for a while, he said he felt a little sleepy.
Shen Cui let him sleep for a while.
Not long after Mu Erpang fell asleep, Shen Cui received a system prompt -
【System prompt: Training subject No. 1 has completed marrow cleansing, and the attribute values are as follows: IQ 92, EQ 90, memory 92, imagination 88, charm 88, luck value 90. Comprehensive qualification: 90. 】
Shen Cui's eyes felt hot for no reason, not just because of her fat son's attribute upgrade. Upgrading is certainly a good thing, but in fact, you can also achieve the same effect by saving more shopping points in the future, taking a few [Advanced Enlightenment Pills], or if Mu Erpang works hard for a few more years.
She was jealous because she just realized that this was the talent that Mu Erpang, Mu Yunchuan's younger brother, should have!
This is something recognized by the system and originally belongs to him!
After two or three quarters of an hour, Mu Erpang woke up. Everyone knows that sleeping in a carriage is bumpy and uncomfortable, but when he woke up today, he inexplicably felt relaxed.
Not only did I not feel any discomfort, but my mind also seemed to be clearer, as if I was in my own academy.
While he was in good shape, Mu Erpang continued to revise his poems.
Aren’t we about to meet Mr. Lao Buyu and Mr. Mei Ruochu?
Although neither teacher assigned any homework, as students, we should still be more self-disciplined.
Strangely enough, he had revised these poems several times. Previously, he thought there was no room for improvement, but when he looked at them again today, he could still pick out several unsatisfactory parts.
It took Mu Erpang several days to revise his poem after a long journey.
A few days passed and the mother and son returned to the city.
It was evening when he came back. Several young men were still in the provincial school, and there was only one Lao Buyu in the academy.
As the sun sets, the academy is silent. Lao Buyu sits in the courtyard with empty eyes, a pot of tea at hand, sighing and reciting poems. Inexplicably, Chen Cui feels that he is a bit like an empty-nest old man.
But when Lao Buyu turned around and saw them coming back, the vitality in his eyes suddenly returned, and he jumped up from the recliner, "Headmaster, Hanshan, you are finally back!"
Well, now I don’t look like an empty-nest elderly anymore, I look more like an empty-nest child!
Shen Cui suppressed her smile, asked Mu Erpang to go inside to put down the gifts, and asked, "Has everyone been doing well during the time we were away?"
Lao Buyu said it was not good, and then he refuted himself after a pause and said, "It's not bad at all. The children go to school every day, I am in the academy every day, and the food and drink are taken care of by the servants of the Wei family... But it doesn't quite fit the word 'good'."
The daily life is still the same, except that Chen Cui and Mu Erpang are missing. The atmosphere in the academy suddenly changed. It became no different from other places, and it always felt like something was missing.
Just as the two of them were talking about this, Wei Shu, Wei Xi, Mei Ruochu and Cui Fei came back side by side, talking as they walked.
"The poem the professor gave me today was so difficult. I still haven't figured out where the poem came from."
Mei Ruochu nodded, "It is a little biased. Think about it carefully. If you really can't figure it out, I will tell you."
As they were talking, they looked up at Chen Cui who was standing next to Lao Buyu. They no longer cared about the topic of the poem and walked forward quickly, vying with each other to ask whether the trip was going well. Is it tiring to travel for so many days?
Shen Cui answered them one by one, and looked at them carefully again - although she could see their values in the system, she was finally relieved after seeing with her own eyes that everything was fine with them.
Wait until Mu Erpang put away his luggage and came out of the house.
The teenagers were even more excited and rushed forward to surround him, each of them taking turns to give him a tight hug.
Of course everyone in the academy was concerned about his grades, but at this time they all asked about his well-being and no one mentioned that incident.
Mu Erpang did not keep them in suspense. He answered their question first and told them, "I did well in the exam. I just happened to have a flash of inspiration when I was writing a poem. I was lucky enough to get the first place. I did not bring disgrace to the reputation of our academy!"
"Great!" Lao Buyu, who had finally calmed down, became excited again. "There is a poem that says: 'A little bit of spiritual light is a talisman, and people of the time waste ink and vermilion in vain.' What a little bit of spiritual light!"
Chen Cui felt that the words were like Taoist poetry, and it didn't seem appropriate to use them here, but everyone was very happy, so she didn't mention it.
After a brief celebration, the reunited teenagers finally calmed down.
Lao Buyu also straightened his expression and quickly prepared to give Mu Erpang extra lessons.
It is now mid-to-early February, and the provincial examination in April is just around the corner.
