There's a saying that goes something like this: studying is one of the few things that will reward you if you work hard at it.

"Baili, your chemistry has improved so much!" Zhu Zhitao exclaimed enviously, holding her chemistry test paper with a score of 59.

"If someone shares some with me, I can pass."

"You'll pass if you memorize just one more point," Sang Fang complained.

Zhu Zhitao glared at him. "Forget it, I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge."

She looked at Sang Fang's grades, rubbed her eyes in shock, and exclaimed, "Sang Fang, what happened to you? Your grades have dropped so much!"

Qiao Yi and Shen Baili were also concerned about his grades, their eyes filled with worry. "Did you not get enough rest before the exam?"

Sang Fang ranked ninth in his class this time, and didn't even make it into the top ten in the whole school. Although the learning dimensions are different from junior high to high school, the reason why this academic genius is academic genius is that he can solve any difficult test.

Sang Fang's exam results this time were completely inconsistent with his abilities.

Sang Fang himself didn't seem to care. "I've had a lot of bad things going on at home, and I haven't been sleeping well."

The two events— Sang Ya being jilted and her grandfather fainting—deal a heavy blow to the Sang Family, stirring up the already turbulent atmosphere within the Sang Family.

Both the main family and collateral branches have their own agendas.

Because my maternal grandfather was ill, my eldest uncle wanted to take the opportunity to get him to transfer his company shares to me, so that I could solidify my position as the head of the Sang Family. He even stated that my maternal grandfather was old and in poor health and should rest, and that he would manage the company well.

My grandfather was so angry he almost ended up in the emergency room. He didn't die yet; everyone wanted to seize power.

Unfortunately, Sang Ya, the cousin whom her grandfather most wanted to protect, couldn't stand up for herself and even ran away from the hospital to secretly see Gu Yeliang, her mind clouded by love.

Sang Fang dared not tell her grandfather about this, fearing that he would be so angry that he would be sent to the emergency room again.

Her older cousin, Sang Zhi, rarely comes to the hospital; I don't know what she's up to, but at least she hasn't caused any trouble.

He and his mother were worried about their grandfather's health, so they could only go to the hospital to take care of him whenever they had free time, and also to separate their grandfather from a group of "weirdos".

Sang Fang has been living in fear these past few days, afraid that his grandfather might never wake up. He wanted to take leave from work to stay with his grandfather, but his mother and grandfather wouldn't allow it.

He actually thought it was pretty good that he ranked ninth in the class.

Sang Fang has a good attitude. The purpose of the exam is to identify and fill in the gaps in his knowledge. He cares about the ranking, but he will not be discouraged by it.

"Don't try to comfort me, I'm fine." Sang Fang looked at them. "I'm aiming for first place in the whole grade next time, so get ready."

Zhu Zhitao: "You guys keep it up! The task of winning first place in the whole school is up to you three. My goal is to escape last place."

Qiao Yi smiled and said, "I believe you, Taotao."

Shen Baili: "I believe you too."

"I'm really looking forward to first place too."

Qiao Yi: "Me too."

Qiao Yi came first in his class and second in the whole school this time.

Sang Fang: "Then we'll wait and see."

"Suìsuì, our Energy Bar has reached 16%. Once you get first place in the whole school, will it jump directly to 30%?" A-Deng arrived at an astonishing conclusion based on his own calculations.

Shen Baili: "... Are you sure it's just because I ranked fifth in the class in the midterm exam?"

She always felt that A-Deng didn't seem like a product of high intelligence; the entire system exuded a clear-eyed stupidity.

A-Deng asked in confusion, "... Isn't that right?"

Shen Baili said with certainty, "Definitely not."

"Something must have happened that we don't know about." She remembered the bug that A-Deng had mentioned before. "Have you found the bug?"

A-Deng: "No, my program is running normally. That bug seems to have grown wings and flown away~"

Shen Baili: "What cartoons have you been watching lately?"

A-Deng: "Suìsuì is so smart! I watched ' Dumbo,' and its ears turned into wings!"

Shen Baili: "... Whatever makes you happy."

A-Deng was becoming increasingly human-like; she wasn't led astray by its train of thought and continued to ask, "Can you find out what happened to the Xie Family?"

A-Deng: "Cannot =w="

"A-Deng can only check the energy recharge progress and unlock new chapters."

"The rest of the information needs to be collected by Suìsuì herself."

Shen Baili was used to it. "Alright."

The energy points increased by 3%, of which at most 1% belong to the midterm exam results. Will the remaining 2% come from the Xie Family?

Because of the upcoming Birthday Banquet for Old Master Meng?

Shen Baili quickly found the answer at the Xie Family.

After eating a grilled sausage with her friends at the entrance, Shen Baili got into the car to go home.

Qiao Yi and Zhu Zhitao watched Shen Baili leave.

Zhu Zhitao: "Our Baili seems to be a rich heiress."

Qiao Yi: "You've been reading too many novels."

She thought for a moment, "Baili's family is very well-off."

"Baili's food, daily necessities, and clothing are all expensive, and she even has a personal chauffeur. My friend is actually a rich heiress!"

"I'm going to cling tightly to the thighs of all three of you."

Qiao Yi moved away in disgust, but then honestly stretched out one leg. "Here, you can hug me."

Zhu Zhitao's eyes lit up, and she hugged Qiao Yi's leg. "I'm hugging you!"

"Don't worry, I won't just hug you for nothing. I'll write a novel for each of you, making you the main character!"

"Whatever you want to be, I'll make it happen." Zhu Zhitao was eager to try.

Qiao Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then... then I want to be Great General."

Zhu Zhitao hadn't expected that the usually quiet Qiao Yi wanted to be a general, so she asked out of curiosity, "Why do you want to be Great General?"

Qiao Yi: "The Great General protects the country, I want to too."

Zhu Zhitao patted her shoulder solemnly. "You flatter me, Female General Star."

Qiao Yi smiled shyly, a slight upturn to her lips.
