I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 38: Miracles Can Be Created with Just Two Strokes

The sky is clear and the wind is gentle and gentle.

Chen Zhou and his two companions stood before the statue of Confucius, displaying a style reminiscent of the oath of brotherhood in the Peach Garden before the statue of Guan Yu.

Li Bin bowed and said:
"May the saint above bless me to get 400 points on my exams when school starts. Of course, if you want to find me another girlfriend, that's not impossible either."

Chen Zhou and Zhou Xinglun glanced at each other.

Why is this kid eating and taking things away at the same time?

Is this appropriate?

Stephen Chow followed and bowed slightly.
"Today is a bit of a surprise, I didn't bring any offerings. I hope you won't mind, teacher. If you bless me to get 350, I'll bring you a roast chicken."

Chen Zhou was speechless. Why was this some kind of empty promise to Confucius?

Li Bin stammered twice, then asked in confusion:
"Um... isn't it a bit inappropriate to bring a chicken to a saint?"

Chen Zhou was even more speechless, and patted Li Bin's blockhead, saying:

"What are you thinking about? It's chicken to eat!"

Li Bin, realizing what was happening, quickly bowed and apologized, lightly slapping his lips as he said:

"I'm so sorry... I was just confused for a moment."

With a sigh, Chen Zhou stepped forward, first bowing, then offering steamed buns and Vivi soy milk as sacrifices.

Li Bin exclaimed:
"You're so well-prepared, are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

Stephen Chow remained silent, but he was secretly amazed.

Then, amidst the growing confusion in their eyes, Chen Zhou cleared his throat, pulled out the poem he had plagiarized the previous night, and said aloud:
"In the first year of the Qianyuan era, the year of Yisi, in the first month of summer, on an auspicious day and time, I, along with my ministers, stood solemnly before the image of the revered teacher Confucius, and respectfully offered sacrifices to the most holy teacher Confucius with sacrificial offerings."

"..."

Good guy!
Chen Zhou's actions completely drove Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun crazy.

Not only were offerings prepared, but a eulogy was also written.

Does it have to be so solemn?
But as they listened, the two realized something was wrong. What was with Chen Zhou's repeated use of "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I, the Emperor")?

The two exchanged glances and analyzed his mental state, fearing that he might have been affected by what happened on the confession wall last night.

But then, Stephen Chow smacked his lips:
"As expected of Elbow, his abstract skills have truly reached a transcendent level."

Seeing the strange looks he was getting from his classmates, Li Bin dug his toes into the ground and said somewhat awkwardly:
"Why don't we call the pork knuckle back? If this continues, people will think we've gone crazy."

Stephen Chow patted Li Bin on the shoulder and said earnestly:

“Bin, no wonder your level of abstraction is not up to par. If you want to improve your level of abstraction, you need to understand the meaning behind Zhouzi’s words and actions more.”

Li Bin looked thoughtfully at Chen Zhou, who was reciting the eulogy:
"You mean, Chen Zhou is engaging in an abstract form of spiritual practice?"

Stephen Chow, looking like a promising student, slowly said:
"That's right. To maintain a high level of abstraction, you not only need to have a refreshing way of doing things, but also the courage to be awkward anytime, anywhere."

Li Bin suddenly realized what was happening, and grasped Zhou Xinglun's hand excitedly:

"Xinglun, I understand!"

Stephen Chow pressed down on Li Bin's hand with his own, and said emotionally:

"Bin, you've finally figured it out!"

As Chen Zhou passionately recited his poem, and Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun displayed their bromance, a group of girls passing by the statue of Confucius began to shove each other.

Immediately, shouts of "Your husband!" filled the air.

Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun awkwardly touched their noses.

This is truly insane.

Chen Zhou, on the other hand, remained calm and spoke with great passion:

"I humbly beseech Your Majesty to bestow upon us wisdom and intelligence, so that my nation may prosper. May virtuous and capable men emerge in great numbers, may the court be renewed, may our land be forever secure, and may the people enjoy peace and tranquility."

Looking at the extremely abstract Chen Zhou, Zhou Xinglun sighed:

"Even I have to learn from Elbow!"

Li Bin's eyes were firm:

"Me too!"

[Congratulations to Your Majesty on completing the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven. Imperial Prestige +200]

[Imperial Might: 450]

Just as the two were looking up at Chen Zhou with admiration, Chen Zhou finished reciting and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the system message.

Chen Zhou approached Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun:

"Rise, my subject!" "Get out!"

The two said in unison.

Stephen Chow glanced at the time on his watch and gave instructions:

"We can't be late; we need to be in the exam room fifteen minutes early."

上午第一门考语文，7:30到10:00，休息十五分钟继续考历史，从10:15考到11:30，然后上午结束回班。

Liberal arts students don't need anything else; they can create miracles with just two strokes of the pen.

One 0.5mm ballpoint pen and one 2B pencil.

Chen Zhou found the examination room in advance and took his seat.

Seating for each exam at the school is assigned based on the ranking from the previous exam.

This seating arrangement has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that there are many students of the same level in the exam room, including classmates; the disadvantage is that the students are of similar ability, so there is not much to copy.

Of course, this doesn't stop tech enthusiasts from showcasing their skills, especially for the Golden Sun Joint Examination. Every two weeks before the exam, answers are flying around on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book).

Joint entrance exam, ugh.

It's just a matter of whose has higher purity.

Fortunately, this time the exam was set by the school itself, so you couldn't buy the answers even if you wanted to.

Chen Zhou looked at the 450 points of Imperial Prestige he still had, opened the system panel, kept 100 points, and pushed the rest to the two subjects of Politics and Geography.

When it comes to technology, huh!

Let's see who has the more advanced technology!
Immediately, the system sent two notifications:
[Should I upgrade the compulsory high school politics courses 2 (Economy and Society) and 3 (Politics and Rule of Law), consuming a total of 170 points of Imperial Prestige?]

[Should we upgrade the high school geography elective compulsory course 2 "Regional Development" and elective compulsory course 3 "Resources, Environment and National Security," consuming a total of 170 points of Imperial Prestige?]

Without a doubt, Chen Zhou chose "yes"!
With the system initiation complete, I still have 110 points of Imperial Prestige left, enough for the English exam.

As Chen Zhou opened his eyes, preparing for his Chinese exam, he suddenly felt a familiar fragrance waft by.

He turned his head and saw an old acquaintance sitting at the next table—

Yu Xinyan.

Her long, black hair fell gently, obscuring her delicate profile, but her hazy almond-shaped eyes held a distinct hint of coldness.

Clearly, Yu Xinyan was also extremely unhappy about sitting next to Chen Zhou.

Suddenly, Chen Zhou asked:

"Who posted the confession wall last night?"

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes slightly, paying attention to the expression on Yu Xinyan's face.

"do not know."

Yu Xinyan responded coldly, her face showing little expression, but it didn't seem fake.

Chen Zhou hummed in agreement, withdrew his gaze, and said calmly:
"I'm glad it's not you."

Given Yu Xinyan's arrogance, she certainly wouldn't do such a thing.

The caption on that post had a somewhat humble tone.

At this point, the invigilator began distributing the answer sheets.

Yu Xinyan turned her head away and ignored Chen Zhou.

But Chen Zhou's thoughts were still running wild as he took the answer sheet from the person in front of him.

If it's not Yu Xinyan, then who could it be?
The moment Chen Zhou's thought crossed his mind, the system popped up a task:
[His Majesty investigated the case of the rebellion by the concubine's faction day and night, and discovered that there was a mastermind behind the case.]

[Your Majesty, please find the culprit and punish him severely.]

[Reward: 200 Imperial Prestige]
