The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 328: 317 Pei Tianyi begs audience with Emperor Ying, claiming she solved that question [3 updates]

Looking at the system notification, Pei Tianyi’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he felt an unexpected sense of surprise.

He seldom logged into the NOK forum due to its unfamiliar interface and had rarely posted any rewards there.

Including this time, he had only posted three rewards in total.

The first time was to find a book that had gone out of print and couldn’t be purchased even on STAR, the Latin version.

After issuing the reward, he received the book the following day.

The second time, Pei Tianyi encountered a tough problem.

He posted the problem as a reward and within less than ten minutes, he received seven different solutions.

It was these two rewards that made Pei Tianyi realize the NOK forum was truly miraculous.

Although Pei Tianyi didn’t post rewards often, he was well aware that once a reward was accepted, it meant the user who took it on had the capability to fulfill it.

The rules for reward posts were somewhat complex; he hadn’t read them carefully but knew that failure to complete a reward would result in a deduction of Growth Points.

After a year on the NOK forum, Pei Tianyi still hadn’t figured out what Growth Points were actually for.

So when he posted rewards, the compensation was always money.

However, most users browsing the homepage did so in hopes of earning enough Growth Points to gain access to the hidden section and join the Hidden Alliance.

If it wasn’t for the substantial sum of money Pei Tianyi offered, his reward would have remained unheeded for a month.

Pei Tianyi immediately sent a message to the user ID of the guide, but received no reply.

He had no choice but to patiently wait.

However, he didn’t have to wait long, as the system soon popped up another window.

[After verification, your reward has been fulfilled, and the rewarded amount has been transferred to the recipient’s account.]

For rewards that could be completed online like this, items would be sent directly to the user’s inbox through the system.

Pei Tianyi opened his inbox and found that all five documents he had posted were translated into modern English.

Only eight minutes had passed.

Pei Tianyi couldn’t help but take a sharp breath in. How proficient in Middle English and Old English must one be to translate the files in such a short amount of time?

Was there actually such a skilled linguist in this forum?

No wonder his advisor had told him that if he was lucky, he would encounter many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Pei Tianyi pondered for a moment before sending another message.

[Hello, may I get to know you?]

**

Wen Family.

In the bedroom.

Ying Zijin casually dismissed a friend request, cashed out the five million she had just earned in eight minutes, and then went to browse the hidden section.

The topic of the day’s discussion in the Hidden Alliance was about a detective from IBI.

Rumor had it that the detective had accidentally snapped their belt while chasing a criminal, revealing something that should not have been exposed.

The first poster even considerately attached a photo, and a bunch of big shots were discussing it heatedly below.

Ying Zijin watched for a while and then placed a few orders for medicinal herbs.

Unfortunately, the trade section didn’t have the Alchemical materials she needed.

And because Alchemical materials were so rare, even Norton had to personally go out looking for them.

After she finished treating Ji Feng today, she had only one portion of Alchemical materials left, and needed to find a way to get more.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the bedroom; it was Wen Fengmian.

He coughed before speaking, “Yaoyao, it’s late, time to sleep.”

Ying Zijin glanced at the time—it was exactly ten o’clock.

For young people, it was still early.

“Dad, you go ahead and rest,” Ying Zijin’s gaze was still on the computer, “I’ll sleep in a bit.”

“You said the same thing last time.” Outside the door, Wen Fengmian hadn’t left, “At two o’clock when I woke up, the light in your room was still on.”

Ying Zijin thought it over and remembered that she had found a melodramatic online series that night and had stayed up all night to finish it.

“Dad, it won’t happen this time,” she said, “I will definitely be asleep by eleven at the latest.”

The sound of footsteps receded; Wen Fengmian had left.

Ying Zijin’s attention returned to the NOK forum, and she was about to make a post when all the lights in the bedroom suddenly went out, leaving only the faint glow of her computer.

She turned her head to look at the neon lights outside the window and fell into silence: “…”

After a few seconds, she finally confirmed something.

Her dad, in order to make her go to sleep, had turned off the main power switch.

Harsh.

There’s a kind of lateness defined by when your dad thinks it’s late, and you must sleep.

Ying Zijin pressed her forehead and resignedly shut down her computer.

She set an alarm on her phone, changed into her pajamas, and got into bed.

Just then, a message came in on WeChat.

[Little friend, good night.]

Ying Zijin turned over and replied with two words as well.

[Good night.]

After thinking for a bit, she added a title.

[Brother.]

These past few days, aside from attending classes, Ying Yuexuan had been conducting scientific research investigations with Pei Tianyi.

She had originally planned to review the grammar and pronunciation of Middle English again but was informed by Pei Tianyi that the translation work had already been completed.

“Yuexuan, you’ve worked hard,” Pei Tianyi did not tell Ying Yuexuan about the NOK forum, “Now that the investigation is over, you can focus on your classes and don’t forget about the ISC semifinals.”

The ISC selection contest ended on December 15. The semifinal followed immediately, leaving no gaps for the contestants to rest.

Ying Yuexuan nodded: “Senior brother, let me walk you out.”

Pei Tianyi nodded in agreement.

The two walked toward the main gate of Verdant.

They ran into students of Class 19 returning from the sports field.

Pei Tianyi only glanced once, but was indeed attracted by Ying Zijin.

He now knew that she was the student Verdant had originally chosen to receive them.

Ying Yuexuan noticed Pei Tianyi’s gaze: “Senior brother, that’s my sister.”

“Sister?” Pei Tianyi was indeed surprised, “They do look somewhat alike.”

However, Ying Zijin’s beauty was so striking that it was difficult for anyone to notice others in her presence.

Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips slightly.

Seeing her like this, Pei Tianyi patted her shoulder: “Yuexuan, she may be beautiful, but you are smarter than her and have a talent for scientific research. Everyone has their own strengths, don’t be upset.”

“Let’s go, I will treat you to another meal.”

After parting with Ying Yuexuan, Pei Tianyi returned to the hotel.

To better conduct their scientific research investigation, they had booked the entire floor of rooms.

After resting for a while, Pei Tianyi went to the neighboring conference room.

In the conference room were five teachers, along with the leading professor.

Pei Tianyi knocked on the door before entering: “Professor Herwen.”

Professor Herwen was an honorary professor at the world’s second-ranked university, specializing in Quantum Mechanics, with high prestige in the academic community.

However, he did not speak Hua Country’s language, which was why Teacher Deng had initially decided to bring in Ying Zijin.

“Student Pei.” Herwen nodded, “Take a seat.”

Pei Tianyi sat down: “Professor Herwen, I’ve already booked the plane tickets; we can fly to O continent tomorrow.”

There were many matters he still hadn’t handled back at Yilan Public School.

“Not so fast.” Herwen shook his head, “Professor Zuo Li has invited a student to work on a research project with me, and I am waiting for her. Student Pei, if you have matters to attend to, you can go back first. I can manage here on my own.”

“How is that possible?” Pei Tianyi frowned, “Professor Herwen, even though we came here in secret, your movements must have been noticed by quite a few people. Your safety is of utmost importance.”

There were many individuals keeping tabs on a professor of Herwen’s caliber.

In the past, there had been incidents where top professors were detained while visiting other countries.

Thus, Pei Tianyi was quite concerned.

Herwen, however, did not seem bothered and waved his hand: “I’ll just stay in the hotel.”

“When is this student you mentioned arriving?” Pei Tianyi reluctantly compromised, “Did Professor Zuo Li say anything?”

Pei Tianyi was familiar with the name Zuo Li because he was very famous.

While in terms of academic achievements, Zuo Li could not compare with Herwen since his experience spoke for itself,

Zuo Li was very young, only thirty-two this year, with an unlimited future ahead of him.

“She will be here shortly.” Herwen waited patiently and then suddenly asked another question, “Student Pei, do you know about that problem issued by the International Physics Center?”

Pei Tianyi nodded, “Yes, I’ve heard that someone has already solved it.”

At that moment, he paused: “Could it not be you, professor?”

“Not me.” Herwen pushed his glasses, “I was planning to work on it after I finished with my current tasks.”

Pei Tianyi was taken aback: “Who could solve it so quickly?”

Quantum Mechanics was, after all, Herwen’s domain.

“It’s the student.” Herwen looked at his phone, smiling, “Alright, she’s here. Student Pei, you will get to meet her.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Pei Tianyi turned his head.
