《Godly Empress Doctor (445+)》607-608

Feng Yiran and Feng Sang were both at home today, and both turned to look at Feng Wu in unison.
Feng Liu and Lady Wang smirked. “See me off? Since when is she so nice?”
“Alright.” Feng Yanfeng lost interest right away.
He was the minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel now, replacing Sir Yan. He had never been in such high and vigorous spirits, and it felt like he was walking on clouds all the time.
Speaking of which, Feng Yanfeng had to thank Feng Wu for it, which was why he didn’t dare fall out with her.
Lady Wang, on the other hand, wouldn’t leave Feng Wu alone. She dropped the bomb straight away. “Feng Wu almost ruined the reputation of the entire clan today!”
Feng Yanfeng could live with anything, but not when the reputation of the Feng clan was at stake!
“What happened?” Crossing his hands behind his back, Feng Yanfeng frowned, darted a look at Feng Wu, then turned to Lady Wang.
Lady Wang smirked. “What happened? Heh! She went to Imperial College today as well!”
Feng Yanfeng frowned. “So what if she did? Why can’t she?”
“Heh, then ask your dear niece what she was doing there.” Lady Wang looked furious.
Feng Yanfeng frowned and thought to himself, “Was Xiao Wu there to find herself a potential husband?”
Ahem… as shameful as that sounded, it was understandable. It would do the Feng clan good if she married into a good family.
However, Lady Wang answered the question herself. “She was there to take the exam!”
“What?” Feng Yanfeng thought he heard wrong and looked at Lady Wang in confusion.
Lady Wang snorted. “Yes, you heard me. Your dear niece was there as an exam candidate!”
“Hahahaha —” Feng Yanfeng burst out laughing right away.
“My lady, you’re very funny. Xiao Wu has no spiritual essence whatsoever and she’s nowhere near a Level 9 Spiritual Master, which is the entry requirement for Imperial College. How could she take the exam?” Feng Yanfeng thought his wife was nuts.

Lady Wang smirked. “How am I supposed to know what your niece is capable of? She actually got an exam permit.”
Feng Yanfeng’s eyes flickered. “Are you being serious?”
“Do I look like I’m joking? I wish I was. But in fact, I’m telling the truth. Your niece is really a piece of work!” Lady Wang said as she walked in.
And her tone was most unpleasant.
Feng Yanfeng frowned, then turned to Feng Wu. “How did you get your exam permit?”
Crossing her hands behind her, Feng Wu straightened her back and said proudly, “I got you that ministerial position, didn’t I? After that, do you think a mere exam permit would be a problem for me?”
Feng Yanfeng stiffened.
“By the way, Uncle, when am I going to receive my 10,000 taels of silver?” Feng Wu glanced at Feng Yanfeng with a half-smile on her face.
Feng Yanfeng said, “Well… Kiddo, that’s so sudden. Well, I have some errands to run. See you around…”
He slunk off after that.
Feng Wu smiled a little.
She wasn’t worried about Feng Yanfeng defaulting on the debt at all. In fact, she would be concerned if he did pay her back.
Feng Wu and Chaoge then went back to Fallen Star Yard.
“Sister, Sister, how did it go?” Feng Xiaoqi ran toward them like the wind.
Feng Wu smiled. “I did great, of course.”
“Yeah! I knew it! My sister is the best! Sister, they’re placing bets out there and I put all my money on you!”
“What?” Feng Wu was bewildered. “People are actually placing bets on that?”
“Of course they are. The gambling houses began to place wagers while you were taking the exam. Sister, those people are so stupid. Everyone put their money on you not passing the exam and the odds against you are sky-high!” Feng Xiaoqi’s cheeks were flushed with excitement.

“How high, exactly?” Feng Wu asked in resignation.
“It’s 1:1.1 on you failing the exam and 1:100 on you passing it… but everyone put their money on you failing it.
“Sister, do you have money to spare?
“I only have ten silver coins and that’s too little. Sister, Sister~” Feng Xiaoqi took Feng Wu’s hand and swayed her arm back and forth.
Feng Wu sighed. “Here are 10,000 silver coins. Have a little fun, but don’t gamble too much!”
10,000 silver coins was “a little fun”? Feng Xiaoqi was thrilled. He grabbed the bag and dashed off!
“Miss, is 10,000 enough? How about we take the chance and…” Qiuling was as excited as Xiaoqi.
Feng Wu shook her head. “Gambling occasionally can soothe the mind, but overdoing it will become a vice. Xiaoqi can have a little fun and that’s it.”
Putting too much money into it would bring about too much trouble in the future, which Feng Wu didn’t want to deal with. Moreover —
What was under Grand Secretary Fang’s manor was worth so much more. At that thought, Feng Wu jumped over the wall to look for the old man.
Grand Secretary Fang was marveling at some flowers under a tree when Feng Wu got there. He beckoned her over. “Kiddo, come over here.”
Feng Wu ran over happily and grinned. “Old Master Fang, you want to speak with me?”
“Yes.” Grand Secretary Fang then turned to walk into the room.
Feng Wu followed him right away.
Grand Secretary Fang took out an exam paper and handed it to Feng Wu. “There, finish this.”
Feng Wu knew that the old man was going to correct today’s exam paper for her.
Without another word, Feng Wu sat down and started writing down the answers.
It took her less than fifteen minutes to write down everything from memory.
Blowing the ink dry, Feng Wu handed in the paper. “Old Master, there you go —”
Grand Secretary Fang began to correct it right there and then.
As he ticked one answer after another, Feng Wu was a little fidgety, for she wasn’t sure about one of the multiple choice questions.
Then Grand Secretary Fang proceeded to that section.
Feng Wu thought her heart was going to stop.
Was today her lucky day?
Section three contained ten multiple choice questions.
Grand Secretary Fang paused a little at the last question, then —
He put a tick next to the answer!
Feng Wu: !!!
She finally thought she could breathe again…
After that, she was overwhelmed with ecstasy!
She made a wild guess and it was correct!
And it was a multiple choice question on a subject she knew nothing about! It was purely a guess!
“Old Master, I really got that one right?” Feng Wu felt as if she was dreaming.
“Of course.” The old man darted a look at her. “Are you not sure about your answer?”
“I guessed that one.” Feng Wu told the truth.
The old man didn’t know what to say.
He gave Feng Wu a long, brooding, and indecipherable look… then went back to correcting her paper.
Correct, correct, correct…
All the answers after that were correct. Her handwriting was neat and her logic was coherent. She didn’t write a single unnecessary word. It was impeccable.
The old man didn’t know what to say.
“Old Master, do you think I can get full marks?” That was Feng Wu’s main concern.
“That’s hard to tell.” The old man shook his head.

Hello everybody, BoredNerdBooks here. In this web novel I bring back to life the story Binary blood. For those of you who have read the Original, my story operates with the same basic premise but with a few changes like who the main character is and to how the LitRPG, mission, shop, and classes work.(I made them more powerful) And now to the real synopsis. So a weird day starts when you wake up in an escape pod hurtling towards a planet with no idea how you got there. A terrible day is when you get attacked by weird semi-robotic monsters. And an absolutely AWESOME day ends with you getting superpowers because of it. Many thanks to The Irregular for giving me permission to write this. Also, I do not own the cover image if whoever owns it wants it down contact me and I will replace it.
