Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Winning 6 Yuan in a Row

Translator: 549690339

In the vast, endless darkness, a point of white light suddenly appeared, followed by a white comet streaking across the darkness, leaving behind a faint trail of light.

The pure white comet flew quietly in the darkness. At some unknown time, in the endless void, a point of gold light emerged, followed by the appearance of a golden meteor.

In this endless, boundless void, two meteors that should have never intersected somehow crossed paths!

Boom!

A misty white fog spread out, and a magnificent golden light shone. Then, at the same moment, two wills suddenly woke up.

“Damn, can’t you fly? Are you rushing to reincarnate?”

A grumbling voice echoed through the star cloud woven with misty white fog and brilliant golden light, followed by another voice that retorted without politeness.

“Well, I am going to reincarnate, aren’t you?”

“Damn, I forgot!”

“Idiot, you are trying to reincarnate without a brain? How could this happen, forgot your eyes?”

“Damn it, I was flying straight, and you came in at an angle…”

“Nonsense, you just woke up…”

From the star cloud formed of gold and white fog, two meteors slid out, leaving in opposite directions. As the distance gradually increased, the two grumbling wills quieted down, because even if they continued to argue, the other party wouldn’t hear it.

However, these two gradually calming wills had not noticed that the color of their own meteors had changed. Inside the bright meteor, its core was dyed a bit of gold, and inside the magnificent golden meteor, it had become pure white.

“Mr. An, Mr. An, stop fishing and hurry home. The people from the county government office bringing good news are rushing to your house!”

On the wild grass-covered ridge, a young child wearing open-crotch pants ran all the way to a small wild pond, shouting at a group of children fishing with bamboo poles.

Ever since his older brother participated in the imperial examination and excelled, their family’s status in the village has skyrocketed. Even he, a child just over the age of ten, reaped the benefits, and people would call him Qing’an when he walked down the street, rarely using his childhood nickname.

“Er Niu, where have you been playing? The people who came to announce the good news are almost here. Hurry up and come to me, I will change your clothes.”

Just as Feng Qing’an entered the courtyard, he was immediately grabbed by a young woman in brocade clothes. Both admonishing and dragging him into the inner room.

Feng Qing’an, who had been called Qing’an all the way back home, felt a sudden darkness upon hearing his nickname. This was his mother, Yin Shi, one of the few who still called him by his pet name.

“Mother, I’ve only worn these clothes for two days!”

Feng Qing’an did not protest. His older brother was referred to as Zhi’er at home, so how could he complain about being called Er Niu?

“Two days is enough. I’ve sewn you a new set of clothes, hurry up and change.”

When Feng Qing’an walked out of the inner room dressed in his new clothes, he saw that the group bringing the good news had already entered the courtyard. Among them were two particularly noticeable figures. From the murmurs that reached him, he learned that these were the local county and prefecture lords from faraway Jiangyang Prefecture.

“My older brother was the top scorer in the county, prefecture, and imperial exams. He’s already achieved the ‘Small Three Toppers’, and was the best candidate in the prefecture and metropolitan exams. He’s won five exams in a row. As long as the emperor has a clear discernment, this will be the first ever ‘Six Dominant Scholar’ in the opening dynasty!”

Although Feng Qing’an was slightly surprised at the arrival of these two important figures, it seemed reasonable given his older brother, who’s only three and a half years his senior and not yet fourteen, made it all the way to the end on his first try at the imperial examination.

Indeed, Feng Qing’an knew his older brother was a literary genius, but he never imagined his brother would be so extraordinary. He hadn’t even reached the age of marriage and he already aced the imperial examination. He was practically a non-human!

“In the name of the majesty who is chosen by Heaven and Earth, an imperial decree proclaims: On the 15th day of the third month of the twenty-eighth year of Yongkang, by the Emperor’s grace, Feng Qingping of Jiangyang Prefecture, who is an advanced scholar, has won the top spot on the list of champions, hereby issued as an edict to celebrate nationwide.”

The Yamen Runner reading the imperial decree on the yellow silk had a powerful voice. Even those watching from outside the courtyard could hear him. The crowd was silent for a moment, then exploded with excitement.

He’s the champion!?

Feng family’s eldest son, who has not even fully lost his fuzz, has won the exam!

“Congratulations to the Feng family for Feng Qingping’s outstanding achievement in becoming champion… ”

While the Yamen runner was loudly giving out blessings and repeating the content of the announcement, Feng Qing’an stood among his family, hearing the bustling noise around him. Suddenly he felt a sense of coolness and a mechanical voice rang out in his mind,

[System file data abnormal, decompression failed, would you like to decompress again?]

“Mother!”

Feng Qing’an ignored the voice in his mind and rushed towards Yin Shi, who had fainted and collapsed softly, where she was then caught by his father.
