Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Initiating Self-Destruct Program
The couple in the second bedroom sincerely hoped their niece would do well on the exam, because having a capable and successful member in their maternal family could give their daughters a bit of prestige in their marital homes.
And Zhaodi, who had been resting in bed for a few days and just regained her energy but fell ill with a fever after a night of winter rain, was still in shock for a long time after learning that Jiang Mianmian had actually skipped ahead to the fourth grade.
This was different from what she remembered!
No matter what others thought, Jiang Changhai had smoothly dropped Jiang Mianmian off at the school gate, “Daughter, did you pack everything? Just perform normally on the exam, and don’t be too nervous.”
“I’ve got everything, Dad. Don’t worry, I’m not nervous at all,” Jiang Mianmian said, patting her shoulders like a little adult.
Although as a total academic slacker, facing an exam inevitably made her a tiny bit nervous.
But she felt her dad seemed even more nervous than she was, so much so that she couldn’t get nervous at all and was instead comforting her dad.
However, while waiting for the test papers to be distributed, she became a bit nervous again.
She was afraid she wouldn’t come first, especially since the teachers had said that this exam was taken together with the town’s central primary school.
The questions from the central primary school were much more difficult than those from their own commune primary school.
The System then comforted her, “Host, please don’t be nervous. You have already completed the fourth grade curriculum. You have to believe in your own abilities.”
Jiang Mianmian swallowed and said, “I understand all that, but it’s an instinctual reaction for every academic slacker to be nervous about an exam.”
Hearing this, the System sternly corrected her, “Host, please mind your language. You are no longer the academic slacker you used to be.”
If after all this time the Host was still an academic slacker, where would it, the Scholar Tyrant System, the number one genius in the galaxy, put its face?
It might as well just activate its self-destruct program!
Jiang Mianmian, however, spoke earnestly and with inexplicable sorrow, “These feelings, an artificial intelligence like you would never understand.”
System: “…”
Alright, indeed it didn’t understand, so it silently receded, not to affect the Host’s exam.
Soon, the invigilating teacher came to distribute the papers.
When Jiang Mianmian received the exam paper, she didn’t rush to answer but quickly skimmed through all the questions first.
After seeing that she knew how to handle each question, her heart settled down, and then she picked up her pen, wrote down her name and class, and began to write carefully.
The day’s exams passed quickly, and as soon as Jiang Mianmian left the school gate, she saw her dad waiting for her at the entrance.
Jiang Changhai didn’t ask how she did on the exam but pulled out a food container from his pocket and said cheerfully, “Daughter, look, Dad bought some braised pork head meat. Taste it and see if it’s good?”
As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of pork head meat into her mouth.
“Delicious.”
While happily eating the braised meat, Jiang Mianmian took the initiative to say, “Dad, I think I did well on the exam today. Being in the top three is definitely no problem.”
In fact, except for the essay which she wasn’t certain of, she felt she could score full marks on everything else.
But before the results were out, she couldn’t speak with complete certainty. That was the caution of an academic slacker.
“Then that’s great,” Jiang Changhai nodded joyfully, “Come on, daughter, let Dad carry you. Let’s hurry home and warm up by the fire.”
His daughter was great in every way, just a little too modest.
Just like last time when she said she did ‘okay’, she ended up scoring double hundreds, first in her grade.
This time’s ‘not bad’ must also mean first place!
However, the results wouldn’t be available for a while; the school advised students to come back in three days to get their scores.
But because there weren’t many students at the commune primary school and the teachers were diligent, they managed to produce the results in less than half a day.
What do you think?
