Chapter 10 The Night Watchman of the Qin Dynasty

The first exam of the month was Chinese, which lasted from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Although Jiang Xun has forgotten most of his high school Chinese knowledge, he still has an advantage in writing and reading comprehension.

Especially now that he has advanced novel writing skills, he can easily write an essay of over a thousand words with remarkable literary talent.

Although I just randomly wrote down the poems and classical Chinese texts to memorize, I still had a chance of getting the two simplest lines right.

All things considered, he felt that his Chinese language score should be no lower than it was in his previous life.

The afternoon math exam was Jiang Xun's show. After receiving the paper, he glanced at the multiple-choice questions and felt that they were almost all easy.

For the first question, given that a function passes through a certain point, find its parameters. The answer is B.

For the second question, given the coordinates of a vector, find the dot product. The answer is D.

For the third question, given the elements of two sets, find their intersection. The answer is A.

……

It wasn't until the twelfth question that Jiang Xun paused to think about it seriously, but he didn't find it too difficult.

This is a problem about conic sections. You can solve it by setting up a system of equations using the equations of the straight line and the ellipse, eliminating the Y value, and then determining the range of the slope K.

It took Jiang Xun about five or six minutes to calculate the answer: B.

He calculated the answers to the next four fill-in-the-blank questions directly without encountering any difficulties.

It wasn't until the third major question, spatial geometry, that he finally solved it, taking a full ten minutes.

By the time he got to the last big question, he had less than ten minutes left.

Before he could finish answering the second question, the teacher announced the end of the exam.

Only then did he realize what his biggest weakness was.

Compared to those top students, his mental strength seems a bit too low.

如果说普通人的精神值在45-55左右，那尖子生的精神值应该在55-65之间，学霸多半已经在70左右。

Those top-tier academic geniuses and academic prodigies probably have a mental capacity of 8 or 90.

Jiang Xun's current mental strength of 65 is clearly not up to the level of a top student.

Although their basic knowledge is solid enough, their calculation and thinking abilities are still relatively weak.

After the exam, he roughly estimated that his score should be around 130 points, which was far from the 140+ he had expected.

Chen Shixuan copied Jiang Xun's multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. After the exam, she compared answers with several acquaintances in the same exam room and immediately let out a wail.

"Jiang Xun, I shouldn't have copied yours. Our answers are so different from theirs!" Chen Shixuan looked at Jiang Xun with resentment.

Jiang Xun was speechless. Comparing answers with a slacker in the same exam room is an insult to me.

He shrugged and said, "I didn't ask you to copy it; you did it yourself."

"I'll never copy yours again next time. If I do, I'm a dog," Chen Shixuan said fiercely.

"You're right, if you copy me again next time, you'll be my dog."

"What do you mean, 'your dog'? Shameless!"

"Just remember this: if you ever try to copy me again, admit you're my dog, your little lapdog."

"Ugh~ a simp, how disgusting."

……

The next morning was the science exam. Jiang Xun found the physics section easy, but it still took him quite a while.

As for chemistry and biology, those were just random guesses, but I estimate they won't be any lower than in my previous life.

Because of the math answer, Chen Shixuan preferred to believe herself rather than Jiang Xun, so she did everything herself.

English is Chen Shixuan's strong subject in the afternoon. She usually scores above 120, and sometimes even 130+.

She thought Jiang Xun would copy her answers, but Jiang Xun focused on doing the questions himself the whole time and didn't even glance at her.

After the exam, she looked at Jiang Xun sarcastically, "Oh, Jiang Xun, you're so principled! I told you to cheat, but you wouldn't?"

"Did you let me copy it?" Jiang Xun glanced at her.

"I gave it to you, and I even deliberately moved the paper to the side. Did you expect me to hand it to you to copy?" Chen Shixuan said seriously. Jiang Xun: "..."

I am Selan, I deserve to die.

It's all the fault of those silly netizens in later generations who have ruined these seemingly normal words; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily led astray.

"Jiang Xun, we finally finished the exams, how about we go to an internet cafe to relax?" Chen Shixuan asked Jiang Xun with a deliberately expectant look.

Her interactions over the past two days made her realize that Jiang Xun was still indifferent to her, so she decided to make another move.

"Go to an internet cafe?" Jiang Xun hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "That's fine, it's been a long time since I've been there."

I've been reading a lot lately and it's been quite tiring, so going to an internet cafe to relax is a good idea.

He hesitated! He actually hesitated!
Seeing Jiang Xun's reaction, Chen Shixuan was furious. She had taken the initiative to invite him out, yet Jiang Xun still dared to hesitate.

"Hmph! If it's that difficult, then don't go!" Chen Shixuan crossed her arms, looking very angry.

"Fine, I won't go then." Jiang Xun didn't tolerate her at all and turned to leave.

"You you you!!" Chen Shixuan pointed at Jiang Xun's back, too angry to speak, but finally stomped her foot and chased after him.

Looking at the pretty young woman beside him, her chest heaving with anger, Jiang Xun chuckled:

"Just kidding. Which internet cafe do you want to go to? My treat."

“You said it.” Chen Shixuan’s mood instantly brightened, and she grabbed Jiang Xun’s arm. “Let’s go, to the starry sky.”

Xingkong Internet Cafe is considered the best internet cafe in Yin County. It costs 3 yuan per hour, which is not cheap for high school students.

Jiang Xun asked the network administrator to set up a computer for him and Chen Shixuan each, since you don't need an ID card to access the internet these days.

As soon as Chen Shixuan logged on, she started playing QQ Dance. She wanted to invite Jiang Xun to play with her, but unfortunately, Jiang Xun didn't know how to play.

At this moment, Jiang Xun directly searched and opened Qidian.com, and glanced at the novels on the monthly ticket ranking.

The novel "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" is far ahead of the competition, followed closely by "Battle Through the Heavens" and "Devouring," and later by "Martial God" and "Step by Step Lotus."

He registered an account on the author's backend, using the pen name 'Xunyangjiangtou' which he had used in his previous life, but he did not start writing a book immediately.

After all, he doesn't have much time to go online now and can't update every day, which is a big no-no for online authors.

So he simply created a new Word document and prepared to draft an outline first.

The story frameworks of those hit novels from his past life flashed through his mind quickly, and he finally settled on one book—The Great Feng Night Watchman!

This book isn't particularly profound; it falls into the category of beginner-friendly literature, and almost everyone can understand it.

It begins with solving a case, which is captivating and eye-catching.

Decisive in killing, indifferent to life and death, and ready to fight if you disagree—this is what miserable readers love to read.

The upgrade system is very innovative and should be quite impressive.

The writing is humorous and witty, and the pace is fast—a favorite of LSPs.

Most importantly, the novel features vividly portrayed female protagonists.

Saintess, princess, imperial advisor, flower goddess... each with an increasingly noble status, arousing a strong desire to conquer.

Novel censorship wasn't as strict in this era, and adding some erotic content was standard practice, which was exactly what Jiang Xun excelled at.

This book achieved an astonishing average subscription of over 20 in later years, setting a record for high subscriptions on Qidian and becoming almost the top book in the Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) genre.

It is said that the copyright fee reached 1500 million to 3000 million RMB, earning more money than many people could earn in a lifetime from a single book.

Jiang Xun relied on her advanced novel writing skills and familiarity with the original plot.

Even if you can't reach the level of the original work, you should be able to learn about 70-80% of it.

Choosing this as his first book seems like setting the bar too high.

But he doesn't intend to keep writing books, so this one is just right.

With a slight change to the title, it can be called "The Night Watchman of the Qin Dynasty".

　Thank you for your collection and investment, I am extremely grateful!!!
