Leveling System of Acquiring Skill From Books

Jia Yizhen shrunk his neck and said helplessly, "Actually, these ten million crystals are not secretly taken away by me, but the materials needed for Golden Dragon and jade chip are extremely expensive. I can't possibly fake the Dragon blood jade and the Flowing Cloud Gold, right? That would be very fake. "    

    

Ye Chen frowned.    

    

He didn't expect to spend more than 20 million crystals in just two days in Sword City.    

    

No matter how much money he had, he couldn't spend it on this.    

    

But what Jia Yizhen said wasn't unreasonable.    

    

"How close can you make it to the original?"    

    

Jia Yizhen said confidently, "Ninety percent true. As long as you do not confront Sword Emperor on the spot, no one will find out that this is fake."    

    

"Okay, here are ten million crystals. Take it."    

    

Seeing such a huge sum of money, Jia Yizhen's eyes lit up.    

    

Ye Chen said lightly, "I don't care how much you take, but you must make something that satisfies me. Otherwise, I will break one of your legs. Do you understand?"    

    

"Don't worry. I will make something that will satisfy you."    

    

After leaving the main hall, Ye Chen returned to the inn and went to sleep early.    

    

Early in the morning the next day.    

    

The sound of gongs and drums entered Ye Chen's ears, waking him up from his sleep.    

    

Actually, sleeping was a habit that Ye Chen had always kept. With his current realm, not to mention sleeping, even if he did not eat, he would not starve to death.    

    

He opened the window and saw a line of honor guards parked under his window.    

    

The examiner from yesterday jumped down from his horse and took out a golden imperial edict.    

    

When he read the edict, all the surrounding soldiers and civilians knelt down.    

    

Ye Chen did not feel anything. He was from Earth, so he was not used to kneeling.    

    

Even if he saw Sword Emperor, he would not kneel.    

    

"We honor the heaven's will. Sword Emperor declares that Wei Xiaobao is ranked first in the Imperial Examinations. He bestowed first place with the position. Wei Xiaobao was given a set of gold and silver feet, a plain silver dress, a black muslin hat, a court uniform, and a big red gown. Return with me to the Palace and await your rewards."    

    

Ye Chen was stunned.    

    

Logically speaking, he should have been given the title of 'Gathering Yuan' after passing the examination.    

    

Only the champion of the court examination would be given the name 'first place'.    

    

He did not expect the Sword Kingdom to be so hasty and save the time for the court examination. Was Sword Emperor not afraid that the examiner would play favorites?    

    

Of course, this wasn't something Ye Chen should worry about. After all, being able to enter the Imperial Palace was a good thing.    

    

The gongs and drums resounded as several palace maids arrived at the inn.    

    

"Lord first place, we are bathing and dressing you. Is it convenient for you now?"    

    

First place still had such high treatment?    

    

But he was not used to having others serve him.    

    

"You guys put your clothes at the door. I'll do it myself."    

    

"Yes!"    

    

After some careful dressing, when Ye Chen appeared in front of everyone, he seemed to have become a great official of the imperial court.    

    

His demeanor and aura were excellent.    

    

"This is this year's first place? He's really handsome and cool."    

    

"From today onwards, he will be different."    

    

"That's right. first place has been sent to the Hanlin Courtyard since ancient times. That place has the name of 'Presenter'. Perhaps in a few years, he will be a prime minister of the court, a person who is above everyone else."    

    

"We will send first place off."    

    

The civilians of Sword City bowed to Ye Chen respectfully.    

    

Ye Chen always responded with a smile.    

    

He knew that this was not because of his popularity, but because he represented the rise of the civilians, and he brought them hope.    

    

Therefore, these people felt that they were the same kind of people as Ye Chen, so they naturally respected him.    

    

The honor guard paraded on the streets of Sword City, allowing Ye Chen to enjoy the highest level of treatment.    

    

The second and third place were carried to the palace door by the sedan, waiting for Ye Chen.    

    

At this moment, the sedan suddenly stopped.    

    

Under Ye Chen's gaze, the examiner tiptoed over and instructed, "Young Master Wei, I have a few words that I don't know whether to say or not."    

    

"But it doesn't matter."    

    

He showed a sigh and said softly, "Actually, it was not easy for first place to get you this time. He had the money of many forces. After you enter the Imperial Court, your treatment may be different from the previous years. You have to be careful, or else you will get yourself killed. "    

    

" There's such a thing? " Ye Chen asked in surprise.    

    

"That's right. Yesterday, Third Prince specifically came to ask me to make you first place. After I reported your results, His Majesty Sword Emperor did not seem to agree. But later on, for some unknown reason, it was changed again. I heard that there was a harem involved."    

    

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Is Third Prince a soldier in golden armor yesterday? A Soul Formation stage Perfection warrior?"    

    

"That's right, that's him. He and First Prince were the two people who had the most hope of inheriting the throne. Recently, they have been fighting intensely. You must not get involved in this. "    

    

" Why did you remind me? Why are you so kind?"    

    

The examiner smiled sheepishly. "I'm just getting old and want to earn some money for my retirement."    

    

" Okay, this is one million crystals. Keep it well! "    

    

The examiner's eyes lit up.    

    

"Young Master Wei, you are indeed generous. Come, let's enter the Palace."    

    

Ye Chen sat in the sedan chair. Along the way, he had been resting with his eyes closed.    

    

He didn't think that Sword Emperor Palace would be more complicated than he had imagined.    

    

Initially, he thought that by eliminating one of the princes, Ann Ning would be able to enter the palace.    

    

But he didn't expect the harem to get involved.    

    

According to those palace scenes on Earth, the backing of a certain prince was probably the harem.    

    

Women were troublesome animals.    

    

Even if he defeated a prince, there would still be millions of princes standing out.    

    

Therefore, he had to find the source of the competition between the two sides and get rid of one. Only in this way could he return an Ann Ning from the Sword Kingdom and cancel Nie Yiyun's engagement.    

    

While Ye Chen was thinking, he arrived in front of the Imperial Court.    

    

The examiner said lightly, "Young Master Wei, you can't sit in the sedan chair for the rest of the way. You have to rely on yourself to get there."    

    

"Okay."    

    

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen stepped on the ground, and with a leap, he arrived in front of the Imperial Court.    

    

The examiner staggered and widened his eyes.    

    

I told you to walk up, but I didn't let you fly up.    

    

Flying was prohibited within the imperial palace.    

    

He had just arrived, and he had already committed a great taboo.    

    

The examiner intended to run away as soon as possible to avoid getting himself into trouble.    

    

Following which, the examiner took out a letter from his pocket and passed it to the servant beside him.    

    

"In a while, send this letter to the main hall of the Imperial Examination and hand it over to my superior."    

    

"Yes, Master."    

    

"[Then quickly return to the residence and pack your luggage] Let's go to Pingtian City."    

    

The servant was startled.    

    

"Why are we going to Pingtian City? Old master, that place is the closest to the border. There might be exotic beast there."    

    

" That place is the furthest away from the capital, and also the safest. Hurry up and leave. "    

    

Ye Chen did not know that his unintentional move had actually caused an examiner of the Third Rank to return home in advance.
