After working for an entire day, Ling Ping'an stretched his neck.
Then, he opened the webpage and logged into the author's platform again.
He saw today's data.
9...
Today, he had gained four collections.
It seemed...
Not bad?
The young web writer thought as he rested his chin on his hand.
It was indeed not bad!
After all, this was a result achieved by a pure rookie without any exposure.
Thinking back to the past, when he first entered the industry, he only had more than 20 collections a week.
Thus, Ling Ping'an happily made himself a cup of tea.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, also meowed intimately, as if congratulating its master.
Ling Ping'an patted its cute little head and gave half of the tea to it.
Then, he picked up his phone and ordered a takeout.
Good results, he had to reward himself!
At the same time, he raised his head and looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock!
So, he turned on the television.
Naturally, this was the news time.
"Today is the first day after the college entrance examination... the examination papers from each examination area will be sent to the designated marking place by the examination department..."
"The marking places in the Guangnan region are located in Yaodu, Jiangcheng, Bao'an, and other places..."
"It is reported that the marking work for this college entrance examination will be completed in three days..."
"In order to ensure the fairness and openness of the marking work... the Supreme Court of the Federal Empire has sent supervisory judges to each marking site!"
Ling Ping'an looked at it and nodded.
Examination fraud had always been a lingering nightmare for the Federal Empire.
Therefore, the supervisory judges became the last line of defense!
And for the judges, Ling Ping'an had the same trust and recognition as the law.
Because, in the 300 years of the Federal Empire's history, the judges had always played the role of the gatekeepers of the law and the guardian dogs of morality.
Just as he was watching the television, his phone rang.
Ling Ping'an picked it up and looked. He quickly muted the television and picked up the phone.
"Aunty, where are you now?"
"Ryukyu?"
"Is it fun?"
"Oh... then be happy!" Ling Ping'an said, "Hmm... I'm fine here..."
"What?"
"I don't want to go out... and I don't want to leave the country..."
"Just take a few beautiful photos for me..."
"Hmm..."
Putting down his phone, Ling Ping'an shook his head, "Don't try to trick me out of the country!"
Aunt actually tried to lure him out of the country to play and go to Ryukyu...
Hehe!
Dream on!
He didn't want to go far away even if he was beaten to death!
He didn't want to go sightseeing either.
What's so fun about it?
Wasn't traveling just wandering around aimlessly?
Not only did it delay his writing, but it also delayed his gaming.
It was really useless, and he had no interest in it at all!
It wasn't like he hadn't gone out to play before!
When he was in university, he had followed a tour group to Beihai during the summer vacation.
Everyone else was happily taking pictures with their cameras.
Ling Ping'an sat in the hotel in boredom, listless and idle.
Flowers, grass, lakes, mountains, and so on.
He felt that it was similar to the ponds and hills in the suburbs of Jiangcheng City.
Most importantly, there were people everywhere.
Wasn't that just wandering around in the suburbs of Jiangcheng City?
From then on, he was determined not to travel.
It was a waste of time and money.
He might as well play games and write novels at home!
… …
Li An'an put down her mobile phone and shook her head: "my nephew..."
She sighed, not knowing what to say.
Such a beautiful archipelago, such a fun place.
More importantly …
She looked at Chu Weiwei, who was wearing a bikini and basking in the sun on the balcony of the hotel..
He wouldn't come even if she asked him to!
"Blockhead!" She said to her phone: "He's hopeless!"
Chu Weiwei happened to hear her voice and asked: "Captain, who are you talking to?"
"Nothing!" Li An'an threw her phone on the sofa, took off her pajamas, and walked to the balcony.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the spacious high-rise balcony through the glass window.
The two beautiful girls gently leaned against the chair and closed their eyes comfortably.
"Little Ping'an is really unlucky!" Li An'an said.
"Oh right..." she asked, "Where's our next stop?"
Ever since they helped the capital's garrison complete the mission last time, their vacation had increased again.
From half a month, it had doubled, and it was a month of public vacation and recuperation.
All expenses would be reimbursed by the Blackguard.
Chu Weiwei listened, picked up a book, looked at it, and said, "Captain, our next stop on vacation is the beautiful Fragrant Hill Archipelago!"
"The anchorage of the Empire's Pacific Fleet!"
Li An'an's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this.
Fragrant Hill Archipelago!
That would be great!
Sunshine, beaches, islands...
She couldn't help but smile.
Chu Weiwei looked at the words on the book and was a little excited. "Captain, the holiday hotel arranged for us is actually the Fragrant Hill Hotel!"
"That's where the royal family will stay on vacation!"
Li An'an was also happy.
The Fragrant Hill Hotel was the most famous luxury hotel in the Federal Empire!
It was said that staying there for a night cost one to two hundred million!
"The treatment of the Blackguard is really good!" She opened her arms. "Unfortunately, Little Ping'an refuses to go out..."
… …
At 7: 30 pm, Ling Ping'an's takeout arrived.
Chiba Michiko was very happy today.
The smile on her face was almost uncontrollable.
This made Ling Ping'an look at her and couldn't help but ask, "What's making you so happy, Chiba Michiko?"
"Ling-san, my cousin's application to study abroad has been approved!" Chiba Michiko was so happy that she was about to jump up. "Thank you for your guidance, Ling-san!"
"You're welcome!" Ling Ping'an smiled. "It's just a small matter!"
Chiba Michiko listened and became even more respectful. She bowed deeply. "No matter what, I have to thank you!"
"I have to thank you on behalf of my cousin!"
Ling Ping'an looked at her and smiled. "If Chiba Michiko wants to thank me, then cook more delicious food to thank me!"
"Yes!" Chiba Michiko prostrated herself in admiration.
In her opinion, Ling-san was simply a perfect gentleman.
A perfect person who walked out of the ancient sages' writings!
Modest, generous, forthright...
He should be the Great Protector!
With his conscience and adherence to morality, he should benefit the world!
"Oh right..." Chiba Michiko seemed to have thought of something and said, "Ling-san, after my cousin comes, she might take my place to deliver food to you..."
"I hope you don't mind!"
As she said that, she bowed again.
"How could that be?" Ling Ping'an shook his head. "I'm not a big shot!"
Chiba Michiko's eyes were immediately filled with admiration!
A true gentleman!
Such a sage lived in seclusion in the busy city, in such a simple bookstore, and lived a simple life.
Just like the book said: This is a shabby house, but my virtue is sweet!
Just like the disciple of Sage Confucius, Lord Zi Yuan: a spoonful of food and a ladle of drink, in a shabby alley, people can't bear their worries, but they can't change their joy!
A perfect gentleman, a true sage!
Thus, she said in an extremely humble tone, "Ling-san, my cousin's name is Chiho Fujiwara..."
"She's a student from Kyoto's No.1 High School..."
"Fujiwara?" Ling Ping'an was surprised. Even though he didn't know much about Fusang's history, he knew that this was a surname that was very close to the royal family!
"Yes!" Chiba Michiko bowed and said, "My cousin's grandfather once served as the Prime Minister of Fusang..."
This made Ling Ping'an puzzled.
Why would the descendant of the Prime Minister of Fusang need to apply for the right to study abroad?
Was there a secret here?
He thought about it, but he couldn't remember.
There was nothing he could do. The political news of Fusang was rarely reported.
It was said that it was the request of the Fusang Kingdom.
The reason for the Fusang people was very simple. A small country did not dare to laugh at a large country.
They were afraid that if the news in their country was reported too much, it would arouse the disgust of the people of the Federal Empire and cause them to be looked down upon.
There was a reason for this. Two hundred years ago, the Fusang Kingdom was ridiculed by the Federal Empire as the 'country of beggars and gentlemen'.
The reason was that Fusang learned from the nobles of the Federal Empire's imperial capital.
In the end, they learned nothing.
This had a great impact on the Fusang people. Therefore, when the Xia envoy arrived in the capital, he made this request to the Imperial Cabinet at that time.
Don't make fun of us anymore...
Alright, this request was fulfilled.
Moreover, until now, the Fusang Kingdom was still constantly reiterating this request.
It was a culture of shame!
Ling Ping'an could understand this subculture based on Confucian ideology.
Therefore, Ling Ping'an didn't ask.
After all, he shouldn't pry into other people's private affairs.
But in the eyes of Chiba Michiko, this immediately became conclusive evidence of a gentleman.
