My Wife Is The Big Boss

Chapter 40: Burial of the Love Family

During the day, Fang Leng would walk around using his identity as Fang Leng, and at night, he would cause trouble using his identity as Wu Gui. This was Fang Leng's preliminary plan. There were several things Fang Leng needed to do, prioritized by their importance and urgency. First, he needed to uncover the secrets about himself. Second, he needed to go to Miao Territory to meet his wife. And lastly, he needed to accumulate energy and level up.

Currently, Fang Leng could only focus on the last two tasks. He could accumulate energy and level up, and he already had a rough idea of how to break through the level limit.

As a Scholar profession, reaching level 20 was equivalent to the first promotion. He needed to advance to the rank of Ju Ren in order to continue leveling up. Players were like this, and perhaps he was too, but he hadn't confirmed it yet.

However, the awkward part was that players could promote their ranks at any time as long as they met the conditions. They could take the examination to become a Xiu Cai at the San Wei Academy in Xu State City. Once they passed the examination, they would become Xiu Cai. When they reached level 20, they could take the examination to become a Ju Ren.

However, this kind of Ju Ren only had a rank and wouldn't be considered as a candidate for official positions by the court.

NPCs, on the other hand, could only become Ju Ren through the imperial examination, which took place once every three years. They would gradually increase their rank and achievements.

So currently, players could take the examination, but Fang Leng couldn't.

These past few days, Fang Leng had also been browsing the forums. The most heated discussions on the forums were the complaints from Scholars.

"I never expected that I would have to memorize and translate the Thousand Character Classic while playing a game."

"My Chinese teacher never treated me like this. I've never been so wronged."

"The most annoying thing is that we can't cheat. The examination questions are randomly generated. It's so frustrating!"

"If I had known that being a Scholar would require memorizing books, I would have become a Ranger instead."

"You should be grateful that your examination only includes the Thousand Character Classic. Those of us who have studied two introductory primers are on the verge of tears."

...

This examination specially prepared for players was actually a simplified version. NPCs had to take the examination to become Xiu Cai, so it wouldn't be as simple as memorizing and translating the Thousand Character Classic. Compared to NPCs, players had advantages but also disadvantages.

However, those who played games every day couldn't possibly memorize the Thousand Character Classic!

At most, they could remember a few lines like "Heaven and Earth are boundless, the universe is vast and yellow."

But the system was considerate. Whatever they learned in the introductory stage, that's what would be tested in the examination. It was like marking the important parts.

Dynasty Overlord, who had studied three primers, expressed his frustration.

While others could become Xiu Cai by memorizing the Thousand Character Classic, he had to remember lines like "Heaven and Earth are boundless," "Do not teach the unteachable," and "Jiang Shen Han Yang."

Fang Leng was like a teacher who had marked the entire book as important. It was so frustrating!

After two days of struggling, Dynasty Overlord was still taking the examination and hadn't passed. He was only level ten and hadn't gained any experience.

Other Scholars had already passed, but he was still held back. He truly deserved the title of elementary school student. Thinking of this, his resentment towards Fang Leng reached its peak.

Fang Leng, disguised as a player, suddenly sneezed. Was someone cursing at him?

Fang Leng suddenly saw Dynasty Overlord, who was still studying hard in the academy, and seemed to understand something.

Well, he didn't intentionally deceive him back then. After all, he didn't specifically remember this setting.

The tireless Dean Wang was still cultivating his Nurturing Spirit in the academy. Only Dynasty Overlord was still diligently answering questions at his seat in the academy.

Fang Leng walked in and said to Dean Wang, "Teacher, I want to take the examination."

Dean Wang nodded and took out an examination paper from his pocket, letting Fang Leng sit in the academy and take the examination.

Seeing the title of the examination paper, "Human Level Examination Paper for the 10th Year of Yuan Zhen," Fang Leng finally felt relieved.

As an NPC, he couldn't participate in the imperial examination, but players could do so at any time once they reached the required level. This irregular way of participating in the imperial examination was available to players.

Fang Leng, disguised as a player, didn't lower his level this time, nor did he hide his identity as a Xiu Cai. As a result, Dean Wang gave him the examination paper.

When the exam paper was in the hands of the NPC, it was just a blank piece of paper. It is only when it is in the hands of the player that the text appears. This is not magic, but a rule of the system.

The rules of the game system surpass all magic.

Fang Leng thought the exam paper was quite simple. He just had to write a few lines of poetry, and the last question required him to write a poem. He could easily write a few rhyming verses to pass.

After Fang Leng finished writing, he handed the exam paper to President Wang, and the result came out.

[System prompt: You have passed the imperial examination and advanced to the rank of juren, unlocking the level cap.]

Fang Leng was not surprised by the result of the exam. He just wanted to know if his juren rank would change if he switched to an NPC. He couldn't wait to go back and find out.

Just then, he heard a joyful cheer.

"I finally passed the exam!"

Dynasty Overlord shouted, and anyone who didn't know would think he had passed the juren exam!

Fang Leng didn't intend to pay attention to him. He glanced at him and was about to leave, but a group of people appeared outside the door. Their distinctive feature was their colorful hair, like a dyeing workshop.

Fang Leng counted them, and there were exactly seven of them, in the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Holding colorful ribbons, they danced in the sky...

Ahem, it's not good to recite poetry without reason.

"Are you celebrating because you graduated from elementary school?"

The leader with yellow hair mocked, naturally targeting Dynasty Overlord.

Dynasty Overlord's face turned dark and he cursed, "It's you idiots again! Get lost."

"Hehe, I'm here today to tell you that anyone who offends my Zangai family will not live to see another day!"

Fang Leng: "..."

Although he wanted to go back and see if the level cap for NPCs had been unlocked, he really wanted to enjoy this interesting drama!

But just as Fang Leng was about to sit back and enjoy the show, President Wang, who had been sitting there like a log, suddenly spoke.

"Above the academy, how can you make such a commotion? Get out!"

"You old..."

Before Yellow Hair could finish his curse, he was lifted by a tremendous force and thrown out, landing in the courtyard outside the academy in a very dog-like posture. Following closely behind were the other six brothers, all in the same position.

Dynasty Overlord was no exception and landed next to them.

Only Fang Leng was unaffected and calmly walked out. As he passed by them, he glanced at them. Then he helped Dynasty Overlord up and pulled him aside.

Dynasty Overlord was so touched in his heart. There is true affection in this world. Even a passerby is captivated by his charisma.

"Brother, thank you!"

"No need to thank me. I just thought it would be more orderly if they were all together, and you were getting in the way."

Dynasty Overlord: "..."

So it's not that he met a good person, but that he encountered someone with OCD!

Fang Leng's words offended both sides. Purple Hair climbed up from the ground and angrily said, "How dare you mock the Seven Diamond Kings of my Zangai family! Kid, tell me your name!"

Fang Leng: "..."

Dynasty Overlord's evaluation was correct. They are indeed a bunch of idiots...
