Guo Baokun raised his hand and shouted.
"Examiner, I want to hand in my paper."
The examiner walked over and glanced at the embroidery.
It is a crooked and rather short horizontal line.
The examiner frowned.
"what is this?"
Guo Baokun rolled his eyes a few times and said calmly.
"one."
"This is a piece I presented to Mr. Su."
"It represents being number one in the world, leading the pack, and leaving everyone else in the dust..."
"Of all the characters in the world, only this one best suits you, sir!"
Su Yu sighed, unsure whether to be touched or speechless.
In fact, he could tell at a glance that it wasn't one.
It is the first horizontal stroke on the top of the character "天" (tian, meaning heaven/sky), which is considered the most important character in the world.
Not only could he see it, but the examiner could too.
Hearing Guo Baokun's attempt to make amends.
The examiner was at a loss for words and simply waved his hand.
"Alright, you can leave now that you've handed in your paper."
Guo Baokun politely bowed and left rather unceremoniously.
The smile on his face had faded somewhat, unlike the arrogant look he had when he came in.
In truth, Guo Baokun knew that everyone else thought he was not smart and was unaware of his own limitations.
But how is it possible?
He knew that the embroidery he had just done was not very good.
At least, he wasn't very talented at embroidery.
He admitted to this.
However, Guo Baokun also knew that no one is perfect.
Although he excels in many areas, it's impossible for him to be number one in everything.
Guo Baokun thought about it carefully. Embroidery was something that women were good at.
It's perfectly normal for a grown man like him to be bad at this.
And if you don't do well on one subject, it's okay, you can just go to another exam room.
Guo Baokun's mood quickly returned to normal.
He smiled faintly, strolled along with his head held high, and walked gracefully towards the science and technology examination room.
……
There weren't many people in the science and technology research room.
Guo Baokun spent some money to clear a path, so he didn't have to wait in line for long and was soon ahead of him.
Just then, Shi Chanli, Yang Wanli, Cheng Jialin, and Hou Jichang also gathered together.
After everyone had finished their exams, they spent their time watching the excitement in their respective exam rooms.
It was Shi Chanli who made the suggestion first.
"Shall we go check out Leco?"
"I have always been engrossed in reading and have never listened to classical music."
"It's perfect time to try it out, and it's free."
Cheng Jialin smiled.
"agree."
"My feet are tired after walking for a while, so it's a good time to rest."
Hou Jichang nodded in agreement.
"Alright, let's try being talented scholars for a day."
He said this because it was the consensus in the community.
There are two kinds of scholars.
Those who are poor and bury themselves in their studies are called impoverished scholars.
Those who are wealthy and frequent places like the Jiaofangsi and Zuixianju are called talented scholars.
Yang Wanli shrugged.
"I've never been good at understanding music."
"But let's go together anyway."
It's warmer in the exam room, and it's nice to sit and chat.
But soon, they were all filled with indignation and their faces were full of pain.
Because it was the music examination room, it was Guo Baokun's turn to take the exam, and he was playing the piano.
"It sounds awful."
Shi Chanli said it with great frustration.
He wouldn't normally comment on others like that, but this was truly...

Cheng Jialin and Hou Jichang also covered their ears at the same time.
Not only did they cover their ears, but most people in the exam room did as well.
But the person playing the piano was completely unaware.
On the contrary, the more he played, the more excited he became, and the sound of the piano was like iron horses trampling through icy rivers and wastelands.
Like a long wind howling over the Kunlun Mountains, like a giant wave crashing down a ship on a long voyage.
Each surge was more intense and magnificent than the last.
But all those heroic sentiments combined to create an unpleasant sound.
The examiner's hair stood on end.
This startled the students who had been dozing off nearby, waking them up.
Fortunately, Su Yu had anticipated the emergence of such talent.
An array was set up around the Leke test room to isolate sound.
Otherwise, the entire examination building would probably be in agony right now, collectively coughing up blood.
Guo Shao, however, had his eyes closed, completely absorbed in the boundless passion expressed in his music.
"After this, will the academy still tolerate other people playing those broken flutes and xiao?"
"I guess I could be considered a national-level player of this instrument?"
"Even that famous musician working for Dean Chen would be ashamed of himself, wouldn't he?"
After the piece ended, Guo Baokun felt that the music was like heavenly music, with its lingering sound resonating in the air.
So much so that they became so engrossed in it that they couldn't pull themselves out.
The students in the examination room breathed a sigh of relief.
They were all covered in sweat and their faces were pale.
The examiner's hair, which had been standing on end, finally came down.
At this moment, who wouldn't feel a pang of sadness?
"Finally, it's over."
Guo Baokun opened his eyes and placed his hands on the strings again.
"If you're in the mood, then play another song!"
With a 'clang' sound.
Everyone was as if they had just heard a thunderclap from the sky!
I was terrified, extremely angry and resentful!
Even now, on the verge of death, he could suddenly sit up abruptly, slam his fist on the table, and shout angrily.
"My uncle's!"
Guo Baokun frantically swept his hands across the guqin.
"A strong wind rises, and the clouds fly high."
"My might extends across the land, I return to my homeland!"
"Where can I find brave warriors to guard the four directions!"
He felt a surge of excitement and boundless passion within him!
What a beautiful melody, what beautiful lyrics, what a heroic spirit!
I, Guo Baokun, truly possess the potential to become a great general!
Guo Shao was immersed in his own music.
Unaware of what was happening, resentment filled the air all around them, and countless angry, fierce glares surrounded them.
Although Guo Baokun doesn't have an uncle, many people in the audience are cursing him as an uncle.
