The daily life of a peasant girl taking the imperial examination

Since then, the town's "workaholic" duo have taken even more effort into writing poetry.

Although Zhuge Yunshu's poems were more inspired than those of Wang Yi and Zhang Hao, they were still far inferior to those of true poetic geniuses.

It was for this reason that Master Wang, Wang Yi, and Zhang Hao finally believed that those previously awe-inspiring poems were not written by Zhuge Yunshu.

She was very satisfied with the result, and it was worth her deliberate attempt to hide her talents.

While plagiarism may feel good in the moment, it will eventually run out of steam!

If we had been discovered then, it wouldn't have been just a matter of losing face.

"Haha, host, even if you don't hide your talent, they will still believe that those poems weren't written by you."

"After all, their true strength is right here."

"Actually, if it were 'Ode to the Goose,' with your current skill level, they might barely believe it!"

"But who made this happen..."

System notification: The system has been muted for two hours for deliberately mocking the host.

system:......

After dealing with the noisy system, Zhuge Yunshu continued her studies.

Although her current abilities cannot compare with those child prodigy poets, she is still considered one of the best among her peers of scholars.

Take out the poems that were recently praised for their brilliance by the female and male teachers in the system, and record them one by one.

These are all the fruits of her labor; given time, they might grow to the thickness of a book.

Zhuge Yunshu had no intention of publishing these poems. In case the preliminary examinations or later imperial examinations included poems on related themes, he could use them directly.

Although she can sometimes suddenly have a good inspiration and write a poem, it is still a rare occurrence.

For the long term, she felt it necessary to compile a list of all the poetry themes that might appear in the imperial examinations.

Of course, the same applies to articles.

Zhuge Yunshu continued organizing.

After she had sorted all the poems and articles according to their quality, she checked the time and said to the system:

Hidden Quest: Achieve instant fame and become known throughout the land (10-year timeframe)

Temporary tasks:

1. In the county-level inter-school competition, the town's school achieved a top-three ranking for one consecutive year (incomplete).

2. One year later, after completing all the content related to the imperial examinations (incomplete).

3. One year later, he participated in the county and prefectural examinations and ranked among the top three on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examinations (incomplete).

4. One year later, he participated in the imperial examination and ranked among the top three on the list of successful candidates (incomplete).

Zhuge Yunshu felt a pang of heartache when he saw that his points had dwindled to only 6638 in less than a month.

She had previously spent 2000 points to buy a 1:50 time ratio that could be used until the end of November. When she rushed back to the town school from the county school, she spent 2000 points and 2 intelligence points to check the weather forecast (seven days). Recently, because her family was harvesting rice, she checked the weather again to ensure that the rice in the village would not be damaged by rain.

In total, it took 6000 points and 4 intelligence points to spend in half a month.

Apart from the points and IQ points spent on rushing back to the town school to test the accuracy of the weather forecast, all other expenses were necessary in Zhuge Yunshu's view.

Looking at her income over the past two weeks, after working herself to the bone studying within the system, she only managed to accumulate 10 points of intelligence and 5 points of calligraphy talent after deducting what she spent.

Oh, and my laziness value also dropped by five points.

Damn it, as the old saying goes, spending points is like water pushing sand, while accumulating points is like picking up soil with a needle.

Waaah, this is so hard!

Zhuge Yunshu turned off the system's mute function, "How can I get more points?"

She felt like she was dirt poor.

In particular, with only six thousand points left, it felt like having only six thousand yuan in savings, making her uneasy.

"Ding, your little cutie is online."

Points can only be earned by completing tasks!

"The host still has four tasks, three of which are quite long and are estimated to be completed next year."

"For the second task, host, if you work hard recently, you should be able to earn some points!"

"Dear host, do you have any other questions?"

Zhuge Yunshu picked at his ears, which had been contaminated by the system.

What kind of trouble is her little garbage system causing now?

"Speak normally."

system:"......"

Ugh, it specially bought a sweet voice, but the dog's host doesn't like it.

Woohoo! ! !

Its integral.

But what can be done? Their own host is too terrifying right now.

"Actually, as long as the host honestly completes the tasks issued by the system, these points are enough for the host to pass the imperial examination."

Zhuge Yunshu pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"There are still too few tasks."

“My monthly expenses are around 2000 points, but there are no corresponding tasks that allow me to earn the corresponding points each month.”

"With an unstable income, it would be strange if problems didn't arise if some unexpected situation occurred."

"..."

"...System, I know you can do it. Go and apply for more tasks for me."

system:"......"

When this system is needed, it's a powerful tool; when not needed, it's just trash, leading to being locked in a blacklist and muted.

This system also has backbone.

Half an hour later:

[Ding! Random task issued by the system.]

1. Achieve remarkable success in town-level academic exchanges, becoming renowned throughout Yunmu Town and Yuntu Town, and be awarded 1000 points.

2. During academic exchanges at the town school, you will befriend three outstanding students and receive a reward of 1000 points.

3. For every 50 modern books you master, you will be rewarded with 100 points and 5 IQ points.

4. Upgrade your skill level and you will be rewarded with 100 points for each upgrade.

5. Points will be awarded for each amazing poem or article written.

"Host, this system has done its best," the system said helplessly.

Actually, he was secretly thrilled. "Haha, the pile of random tasks has decreased a bit, and it was the host who suggested it."

"It has another points reward."

Zhuge Yunshu: "..."

She should have been happy to see these tasks, but something just felt off.

Oh well, as long as I can earn points every day, that's fine.

What can we do? Points are hard to earn, so we can only keep working hard to maintain them.
