Wen Li was not far from Xiao Xi, and she noticed the presence of the bamboo viper when Xiao Xi's expression turned strange.
She swiftly pulled Xiao Xi into her arms, then lifted the bamboo viper by its tail and gently tossed it into the babbling brook in the distance.
With a thud, the danger vanished instantly.
Xiao Xi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She was prepared to scream, but Wen Li's quick reaction left her staring blankly at the other person.
Wen Li clapped her hands, then looked at Xiao Xi: "Are you alright?"
Xiao Xi belatedly shook her head, then her eyes reddened, and she stammered, "I'm afraid, afraid of snakes."
Most people are afraid of snakes.
Xiao Xi has always lived in the city. Apart from seeing golden pythons in zoos and pet snakes online, where else has she ever seen a bamboo viper with a full green body and a pointed head?
Just one glance at it can make someone ascend to heaven on the spot.
"Don't be afraid, I've already thrown it far away."
Wen Li felt that Xiao Xi had worked hard on this trip with her, so she took out a yellow talisman, a calligraphy brush, and cinnabar from her waterproof backpack.
The other foreigners, seeing this, all gathered around out of curiosity.
Wen Li couldn't translate the talisman, but most of the foreigners in the crew knew that Wen Li could tell fortunes, and coupled with the legendary Eastern power, everyone said they wanted to buy a talisman too.
Wen Li does not lose any energy when drawing talismans; she can succeed as long as she concentrates.
The crew was large, but fortunately, Wen Li was worried about something happening on the road and had a full set of tools with her, so she didn't charge anyone and gave each member of the crew a bill instead.
After distributing the talismans, Wen Li instructed, "The talismans must not come into contact with water; they will be ineffective if they get wet. If they burn to ashes, it means the talismans have protected you from calamity, and you must come to me."
So much so that when they successfully reached the base camp, everyone wondered whether it was a psychological effect or if the talisman was really effective. In any case, there were no accidents along the way, and when they passed through a leech forest, not a single leech stuck to them.
If it weren't for the unstable signal, everyone would have loved to go on Twitter and rave about China's magical abilities!
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the base camp. Wen Li and the other celebrities didn't need to help set up the tents. Instead, Wen Li and Si Ran went to look for a place nearby where they could get a signal and go online.
Wen Li kept calculating along the way, and sure enough, she soon arrived at an open area with no azalea trees to block the view, and her phone signal went from no signal to three bars.
It's better than nothing. Although the signal is a bit slow, at least I can send messages.
Si Ran seemed to be on a video call, but the other end was choppy and she couldn't hear what they were saying, but Si Ran didn't seem to care.
Seeing this, Wen Li walked to the other side and sent a message to her father, brother, and Huo Yinghuai to let them know she was safe.
She was very lucky; the message got out immediately.
Huo Yinghuai was the first to reply.
[It's good that you're safe.]
[Your results will be out soon, but your signal is bad. Do you need me to help you check?]
Wen Li was stunned when she saw the message, only then remembering that it was time to check the college entrance examination results.
She tried to log in to the website Chu Mingtai had given her in the group, but she couldn't get in at all.
So he went back to WeChat and replied: [My signal is too bad, I can't log in. My dad said he'd help me check my grades, but I guess he hasn't found them yet. Could you check for me?]
After posting, Wen Li also sent a meme of a little bear giving flowers.
In F country, Huo Yinghuai smiled slightly in his empty office, then quickly logged into a website, and Wen Li's grades appeared before his eyes in the blink of an eye.
Huo Yinghuai was slightly surprised when he saw Wen Li's score, then his smile widened, and he took a screenshot and sent the photo directly to Wen Li.
Wen Li received the photos Huo Yinghuai sent her five minutes later.
When Wen Li saw her total score of 687, she was quite surprised. She really didn't expect to get such a high score.
At this time, Wen Tingsong and his brothers also sent over their grades.
Wen Tingsong: [Daughter, 687 points! That's amazing! When you get back, Dad will throw you a celebration for your college entrance!]
Brother: [Little sister, you've worked hard. Is your signal bad? I transferred some money to you; have you seen the transaction?]
...
Next came red envelopes from several of his older brothers and Xu Yurong, and even a sum of three million yuan transferred by Grandpa Wen.
This amount of money is almost equal to Wen Li's acting fee.
Wen Li happily accepted the money, and then posted the screenshot that Huo Yinghuai had sent her on Weibo.
Seeing that Si Ran had finished talking, he turned off his phone and returned to his base camp. Little did he know that when Wen Li's results were released, the haters were dumbfounded, and even the fans were stunned.
[Wait, did Wen Li enter the wrong exam number?]
[Huh? Isn't my kid a poor student? Did he really get this score?]
[It's one thing to do badly on the exam, but everyone online knows Wen Li scored less than 100 on the entrance exam. It's one thing to cultivate a studious image, but now she's faking it for clicks. Doesn't she want to stay in the entertainment industry?]
[I think it's true. After all, Wen Li's company has always told her to prioritize her studies. In the past year, apart from one endorsement, she's only had one or two gigs during her holidays.]
[But that's 687 points! Do you know what 687 points means? With that score, Wen Li could practically walk all over the country! But everyone knows that Wen Li had never attended school before coming to City A; she hadn't even gone to kindergarten!]
[I don't think everyone needs to be so surprised. I think Wen Li is one of those smart people. Her father and brother are both intelligent, and even Wen Xingming's family attended a university ranked among the top ten globally. The Wen family is full of brilliant minds, and with Wen Li's hard work, it's not impossible for her to achieve a score of over 600 in just one year.]
[On the contrary, I believe Wen Li's score of 687 was not fabricated. If Wen Li had scored 600, I might have had doubts, but what I want everyone to know is that an ordinary person could not possibly score such a high score. Equality for all is one thing, but no one's mind is the same.]
For a time, there were both voices of doubt and voices of belief in the texture.
However, Wen Li's results did shock everyone. Many haters reported that Wen Li had faked her results, but the authorities quickly responded that Wen Li's results were normal.
At the same time, many children of wealthy families and classmates stood up to speak—
