Chapter 35: Climbing the Wall to Find Gu Zhan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Actually, there was no need for Qi Shan and Zhao Xiulian to nag.

Qi Jingshu and Qi Jingzhong both already had the same thought.

But they also understood that now was not the time to make a move.

No matter what, they would have to wait for a couple of days.

Otherwise, they would appear like greedy money-grabbers, and the opposite would happen.

…

It was already past ten when they were done with their work.

After a while, Wan Meiling left. Caught between laughter and tears, Qi Fang asked Qi Mianmian, “You said that I’m going back to school soon… What do you mean?”

Qi Mianmian looked at him meaningfully. “Of course I want you to repeat your studies. Why? Don’t you want to go to university?”

Qi Fang was speechless.

Of course, he wanted to go to university. Otherwise, why would he attend senior year of high school?

However, he had never thought about repeating his studies. He simply didn’t dare to think about it.

Qi Mianmian gave a slight smile. “Grandpa, as well as all the capable people I’ve met, has always said getting a good education is the key to success. Only then will you be able to break out of poverty, and go further in life. In the past, our family was poor, so you didn’t dare to repeat your studies. Now that we have enough money, you can. Unless you really don’t want to go back to school, you should listen to me and study well.”

Qi Tian and Qi Zhen hesitated for a moment before joining in Qi Mianmian’s persuasion efforts.

Qi Tian said, “Yes, you should strive to get into university to bring honor to our grandfather.”

Qi Zhen said, “Yes, you should strive to try to get into university and become a high-ranking official. You’ll have to support us in the future.”

Qi Mianmian found herself speechless.

What the heck?

However, for ordinary people, these were indeed the main reasons for going to university.

Qi Fang also laughed. He scratched his head. “…I’m worried that I still won’t be able to get in.”

Qi Mianmian smiled and said something that made him both want to vomit blood and not know whether to laugh or cry. “If you can’t get in after one year, we’ll try for a second year. If you can’t get in after two years, then we’ll try for a third year. If you still can’t get in after three years… Forget it, I won’t force you anymore. Just come back and help out with the cake business.”

Qi Zhen and Qi Tian burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Although Qi Fang felt like she had touched a raw nerve, he could not stop laughing either.

After laughing for a while, Qi Mianmian’s expression turned serious. “As long as you study hard, you’ll get in. If you can’t, we can find a teacher to tutor you. Also, I remember there’s a prescription for honey pills that can help you clear your head and boost your energy, and increase your intelligence too. When the school term starts, I’ll make some for you to try.”

Qi Fang’s eyes lit up. “Are those expensive to make? If they’re not, can you make some for me these few days?”

“They’re a little expensive, but if the pills are effective, we can promote them to your classmates and earn some money too. Okay, it’s settled.”

Qi Fang was speechless.

Qi Zhen was speechless.

Qi Tian was speechless.

Why were there business opportunities everywhere?

Were they going to be rich?

They really liked it when their youngest sister was like this, but would anything go wrong with the recipe?

Qi Fang hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to ask, “Will there be any problems with the prescription? I’m not afraid of anything if I take the pills myself, but selling them to other people…”

“No. Have you forgotten what I said? I still don’t dare to prescribe anything that might carry a risk. This prescription is completely harmless. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the prescription.”

Qi Fang hurriedly waved his hand. “No need, no need. I believe you.”

Although the prescription was taught to his sister by their grandfather, it belonged solely to her now. He shouldn’t touch it, even if he could.

Qi Mianmian, however, didn’t care.

She gave an elegant yawn. “Let’s all get some rest. Tomorrow we’ll be visiting various grocery stores to sell our cakes. It’ll be exhausting.”

Despite saying that she wanted to get some rest, Qi Mianmian secretly performed acupuncture on Qi Zhen again in the middle of the night. She also climbed over the wall to Gu Zhan’s place, but unfortunately he wasn’t home.

Qi Mianmian was in a hurry to find Gu Zhan because she realized that after entering the book, it seemed easier to level up in the Medical Spirit Dimension.

The way she leveled up in the Medical Spirit Dimension was very interesting—with every boost in experience points, the thin fog that shrouded the areas she could not enter would retreat by a foot.

The radius of the usable area of space would thus increase by a foot.
