A large amount of time was given for the exam and Jiang Chen was not too worried. This third test was a walk in the park for him. With reading skills that her past life has nurtured for millions of years, she has developed an almost photographic memory for things that need to be put into memory.
Therefore, this little bit of memorization was not an easy matter for him.
He etched his name with his brushstrokes and began to answer questions.
About an hour later, he had completed the rote satisfactorily.
The creative part is next. This section will also be more flexible and deeper.
Of course, with Jiang Chen's experience, these questions were still so low and rude that it was just a joke to him. However, he still compiled his answer very seriously.
Although the topic is superficial, it will not make the answer too insightful. With the theoretical knowledge standards of the Eastern Kingdom, it was impossible for the kingdom to be able to digest anything too convoluted.
With Jiang Chen's knowledge, if he really answered too deeply, then it was no different from him handing over the blank test paper.
Something too deep will not be understandable..then what is the difference with answering nonsense?
Therefore, Jiang Chen racked his brain to start from the knowledge base of this world, and deciphered it with some innovations.
These answers are actually classed as very low knowledge in his knowledge bank. But Jiang Chen was still somewhat worried that he had gotten out of the box and created some unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, he repeatedly held back and finally overcame the desire to truly decipher. He controlled the summary for the creative part and held it at a level appropriate for the knowledge found in the Eastern Kingdom.
Doing it this way actually creates more work for him. He double-checked his exam paper after an hour, found that it was perfect, and then handed it over.
The organizers in charge of this exam sealed Jiang Chen's exam into a box according to the rules.
“Jiang Chen, this exam needs to be read by senior officials and assessed by officials from various subjects. Do you understand this rule?”
There was indeed such a rule and Jiang Chen paid no heed to it. He's nodding.
No matter who judged it, this exam would definitely pass. Jiang Chen was absolutely certain about this.
It was already dusk when he completed the three basic exams. Fatty Xuan ran over while following Jiang Chen. With his weight and body shape, it was difficult for him to keep up with Jiang Chen.
Fatty Xuan was panting after a short distance. “Sister Chen, wait for your brother!
Brother Chen, I have reserved a table at the Autumn Stork to celebrate you passing the three basic exams. I've known for a long time that Brother Chen must be a wolf in sheep's clothing. You didn't pass the previous exam to deliberately describe that you were weak. Heh, crippling enemies through strategy!”
Fatty Xuan's fawning words flowed like a tide and he was truly unashamed of doing so.
“Do not go to Autumn Crane.” Jiang Chen said weakly, thought for a moment, and sighed when he saw the earnest Fatty Xuan and Hubing Yue. “Come gather at my place tonight.”
Hubing Yue nodded, “Yes, Brother Chen is right. My parents also said that there was too much going on in the capital recently. We should avoid going to places like Autumn Crane.”
“Hehehe. If Brother Chen says not to go, then we will not go. Besides, going to brother Chen's house only means more face for us brothers, right?” Fatty Xuan was a relaxed character and went with the flow instead of stubbornly clinging to something.
As a servant of the personal body, this was Jiang Zheng's moment to shine. He immediately spoke when he heard Jiang Chen's words, “Your servant will return home to make preparations.”
Fatty Xuan and them were even more relaxed once they reached the manor of Jiang Han.
This was also the first time Jiang Chen had gathered with his best friend since arriving in this world. He was in good spirits, and listened attentively to the fat Xuan and the others talking about everything that had happened before.
“Brother Chen, wouldn't you say that Yang Zong is really heartless? Thinking that you took care of her back then, and she backed out of fear and shrank from responsibility after something happened to you. He was too scared to interact with us. This guy seems unreliable. And I even treated him as a brother before. What a shameful person!”
Fatty Xuan was quite excited when it came to Yang Zong.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen laughed easily and decided to ignore the matter. Everyone has their own ambition. Yang Zong had chosen the pursuit of profit and the side that favoured him rather than choosing his brothers. That was his choice.
Except, Jiang Chen naturally crossed out Yang Zong's name from his heart.
Fatty Xuan died down to crucify Yang Zong after seeing that Jiang Chen had not joined. He changed the topic of conversation to the Hidden Dragon Trials.
“What's the take?” Jiang Chen smiled.
“Sister Chen, I, the fat Xuan, am the stubborn type. I don't think too much about that main duke. I only feel a kinship with Brother Chen, so if Brother Chen soars with victory in the sky, then I will smile even in my dreams! Brother Chen, I hope you are eyeing those superior positions!”
“Indeed Brother Chen, Bai Zhanyun it's just that. You really have the potential to play for a position as one of the four great dukes.” Hubing Yue was also very excited at the thought of Jiang Chen's appearance that night.
“Four great dukes?” Jiang Chen muttered lightly and then grinned widely. “Four great dukes is not my final destination.”
“Ah? Brother Chen, then what is your goal? It would be great if you could jump into the top ten rankings. ” Words Hubing Yue.
“Hubing Yue, are you silly pig?” Although Fatty Xuan was drunk, his mind was not. With his understanding of Jiang Chen, his tone of voice was not because he could not capture one of the places as one of the four great dukes, but he was not pleased!
As his mind went down this path, Fatty Xuan's massive body trembled for a bit, his calmness immediately returning. Seemed an incomparable spirit gushing out from his eyes that swiftly darted under his plump eyelids.
“Sister Chen, could it be that your goal is the position of the Eastern nobility? Haha, that's my brother Chen alright! Great ambition, really straight!”
Fatty Xuan is also a bit .b.a.j.i.n.g.a.n.. Plus the influence of alcohol, and that made him completely lose all reservations while talking. He probably did not think that these words would make him considered a suspect of rebellion.
“This ... Brother Chen, are you real?” Hubing Yue gasped and her breathing also became heavy.
Jiang Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of how serious the two were. “Fatty Xuan, your imagination is overactive. When did I say I wanted to replace the Eastern nobles?
“Then what?” Fatty Xuan scratched his head and looked puzzled.
“I am a cultivator. It would be a waste of my life if I pursued wealth for a moment. I, Jiang Chen, want to pursue martial dao with my life. All wealth and general wealth is just a floating cloud to me. ”
Fatty Xuan became completely lethargic after seeing how serious Jiang Chen was.
“Sister Chen, this doesn't seem to be you. What happened to our previous oath? Didn't we agree to go crazy together, enjoy everything together, be wild and free together, and get through all the storms together?”
Fatty Xuan pouted while muttering a complaint.
“People should change.” Jiang Chen let out a light breath. “Fat, since you two are my brothers, I will not say any false words. Although playing hooky is fun, those days will not last long. Do you know how many eyes are staring at the rank of a duke that you hold in your hand, to not talk about anything else? If not for the rank of a duke, on what basis would you have to be a dandy? What ability do you have to be wild and free?”
Fatty Xuan was silent. How did he not know that being wild and free together was only a temporary dream.
How can you be wild without power? Who's gonna let you be so haughty?
In the end, they can be wild and free together because of a good father and a good reincarnation.
But after their generation walked without burden, what about the next generation?
It resonated deeply with Hubing Yue, “Fat, Brother Chen is right. I also think that only power is the true law of this world. Look at Brother Chen's experience over the past few days, isn't that a perfect illustration of this rule? People used to challenge us wherever we went. And now? Everyone who saw Brother Chen did not even dare to look at us. This is a change brought by strength!”
Fatty Xuan had become a lonely old man when he was desperate, “But you guys also know that I am fat which no one takes seriously. Training is a luxury for me. I just reached this step because my parents hit me with fists and legs.”.
Fatty became even sadder as he spoke. Although she is usually high-spirited and looks like a dandy, she has a side that no one else can see, a fragile side.
His size and weight had brought about many problems for him that no one else had. It also brought for him discrimination and ridicule that no one else would understand.
Sensitive in the heart, fat has always been very concerned about this, but he had to pretend not to care at all. He learned to self-deprecate and joke about himself.
Except, he had met Jiang Chen when he arrived at the capital for the Hidden Dragon Trials. He had met the only person in this world who did not discriminate against him and even called him brother.
At that moment, the fat Xuan felt that Jiang Chen was his –-brother confidant for the rest of his life, and someone who made Xuan fat would die for him.
“Sister Chen, do you know? When I first arrived at the capital, I tried very hard to assimilate into the world of the other heirs. But I was faced with their discrimination and ridicule wherever I went. You were the first to call me fat without a mocking smile on your face. At that moment, I decided that I would listen to whatever you say for the rest of my life!
Fatty Xuan rubbed his red eyes violently as he paused at this point. “Sister Chen, you're right now. If we don't have a good father, what right do we have to laze around, act crazy? Moreover, to ensure that my descendants have the ability to be dandy, I must keep the rank of this duke!”
A resolute desire that would cause others to straighten out with seriousness appeared for the first time in Fatty Xuan's eyes.
