Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 898: Tens of Thousands of Words

Time passed quickly, and two days and two nights passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time in the examination room, many candidates had begun to look very haggard, and many even had dishevelled hair and dirty faces, looking extremely miserable.

Gu Chan's situation was not much better.

During these two days, apart from writing the novel, she just ate dry food and drank water. When she was tired, she slept and continued writing after waking up. During this time, because she was disguised as a man, she held it in and did not go to the toilet once.

Because she was so excited about writing, she wrote 17 pages of paper, totaling more than 20,000 words, in these two days. However, she had only written one-third of the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which really made her feel uncomfortable.

At noon that day, Gu Chan was twisting and turning on the stool, looking extremely ugly.

After a while, she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she said to the officer standing next to the cubicle, "Brother officer, I want to go to the toilet, can you please step aside?"

"Huh! You've been holding it in for two days and two nights. You're really good at holding it in. I thought you could hold it in for a while longer!" said the officer with a sneer.

During these two days and two nights, he stood guard outside the cubicle and witnessed with his own eyes that Gu Chan wrote so many words without going to the toilet once. This was the first time he had seen a candidate like this, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

Gu Chan said with a distressed look, "Yes! I really can't hold it back any longer, please step away!"

"What are you avoiding? We are both grown men, aren't we the same? What is there to avoid? Just finish it and continue with the exam, and don't keep nagging me, a woman." The officer cursed angrily.

"No, someone was watching me and I couldn't poop!" Gu Chan said with a bitter face.

If the officer didn't leave, she would be exposed if she took off her pants while sitting on the toilet! So how could she dare to take off her pants to relieve herself?

The officer said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and pull it quickly, or I will tell the examiner that you want to cheat."

"You..." Gu Chan was choked speechless.

With no other options left, she could only secretly activate her illusion technique, sending a stream of white gas into the officer's body to create an illusion for him, making him think that the person who was relieving himself in the cell was a man.

In this way, Gu Chan finally sat on the toilet with peace of mind, picked up the rolled-up thing to cover her important parts, and started to relieve herself.

After the removal, Gu Chan finally felt refreshed. She then sat back at the table, removed the illusion that the officer had had, and continued the exam as if nothing had happened.

For the next two days, Gu Chan concentrated on writing the novel. She didn't finish writing until she had finished thirty pages of test papers, which looked like a published booklet. Only then did she finish the entire story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

After checking to make sure the story flowed smoothly and didn't seem too awkward, she called the examiner and said, "Examiner, I've finished writing. Can I hand it in?"

"This... these test papers were all written by you?" The examiner walked to the cubicle, lowered his head and took a closer look, then was shocked and said on the spot.

"Yes!" Gu Chan nodded.

The examiner picked up the test paper and read it page by page. He found that Gu Chan not only wrote a full thirty test papers, but also wrote in an extremely unique and thin handwriting. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Amazing! Let's not talk about how well you wrote this article, but just this article of tens of thousands of words, the handwriting is so unique, it is really enough to make people's eyes light up."

"Examiner, you are too kind. It's just that I am young and my pen is not that strong, so the handwriting is so thin. I think when I grow up and my pen is stronger, my handwriting will not be like this." Gu Chan said modestly. "Not really, not really. It is also an achievement for ordinary people to create their own handwriting." The examiner shook his head.

Gu Chan chuckled and said, "Examiner, can I hand in my paper and leave the examination room?"

"The test period is seven days, and you've only taken the test for four days. You didn't check again, and you left the examination room three days early?" the examiner asked.

"There's no way. I really can't hold it in any longer. I have to go back to the inn and take a hot bath. I feel so uncomfortable all over." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

The examiner was stunned and said, "What? You handed in the paper three days in advance just to go home and take a hot bath?"

"Yes! Otherwise I could have written it in more detail, but there's no need for that now. These tens of thousands of words are enough." Gu Chan said calmly.

The examiner looked at the paper in his hand, then looked at Gu Chan, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Gu Chan added, "I've checked it, there are no typos, and the name is written correctly, so there's no problem."

"Boy, the imperial examination in Diyue Kingdom is only held twice every three years! If you miss your chance this time, you will have to wait for the autumn exam in the second half of the year. With your attitude, if you fail the autumn exam again, you will have to wait another three years for this opportunity. I advise you to stay for three more days before leaving." The examiner advised kindly.

"No need. I'd better hand in the paper and go back." Gu Chan said with a dry laugh.

The examiner saw that it was useless to persuade him, so he could only wave his hand helplessly and said, "Okay! Then you have handed in your paper, and you can go!"

"Thank you, examiner." Gu Chan hurriedly thanked him.

After saying that, she quickly stood up and packed her things. Soon, she carried her bag and swaggered out of the examination room early.

Many candidates who were still taking the exam were shocked to see that Gu Chan had handed in her papers three days in advance and left. They couldn't believe this fact.

The examiner took Gu Chan's stack of test papers and went to find the two academicians, one male and one female, and handed them the test papers. He said, "The candidate named Xu Xian wrote a 30-page essay in just four days, and handed it in three days ahead of schedule."

"Xu Xian? Who is this candidate?" the female academician asked puzzledly.

After taking a look at the paper that Gu Chan handed in, her eyes lit up again and she said, "Amazing! This candidate's handwriting is so unique and beautiful. Every word is like a woman dancing on the paper!"

"I remember now. This Xu Xian was the student personally recommended by Prince Leng to take the spring exam. The reason was that his sister, a veterinarian, cured the royal bull's disease, so Prince Leng recommended him." The male academician said with sudden realization.

"Since he is a talent recommended by Prince Leng, we cannot be negligent and must review this volume carefully." The female academician said in a serious tone.

The male academician nodded without comment.

Then the two of them took Gu Chan's 30-page test paper and went to the study room at the back of the Imperial Academy, where they summoned many academicians to review her test paper in advance.

There is no doubt that when all the academicians saw Gu Chan's test paper for the first time, they were attracted by her unique thin fairy handwriting.
