Chapter 47 unlocks the main quest fast track.
Yuan Bao and Xiao 9, filled with pride at defeating the Level 4 Poisonous Mist Spider and the unexpected joy of obtaining the Time-Space Key, stepped out of the mysterious cave.
Throughout the journey, Yuan Bao kept his hand tightly gripping the time-space key that emitted a mysterious light, his mind churning with thoughts.
This small key carries so many unknown possibilities; it's like a key to a whole new world, waiting for her to unlock it.
“Little 9, now that we have this time-space key, we need to plan our next steps carefully.” Yuan Bao turned to look at Little 9, his eyes sparkling with thought and anticipation.
Little 9 bounced around in the air a few times and echoed, "Yes, Master! This is definitely a super opportunity, it might even make our game progress leap forward!"
Yuan Bao nodded slightly, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
She knew that while side quests were fun and could bring rare rewards and experience, the Time Key in her hand was like a ray of light, illuminating another path forward—a fast track to the main quest.
Holding the Time-Space Key, Yuan Bao happily said to Xiao 9, "Xiao 9, I've decided to put the side quests aside for now and go back to try opening the fast track for the main quests. I have a feeling this will bring me unexpected rewards."
Xiao 9 immediately nodded in agreement, and the two exited the virtual space and returned to their home in the game world.
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan went to work as usual, while their eldest brother, Baoguo, went to school.
In his room, Yuan Bao took out the Time-Space Key and the box containing it. The box was covered with mysterious runes that echoed the light emitted by the Time-Space Key.
Yuan Bao took a deep breath and solemnly inserted the Time-Space Key into the groove of the box.
In an instant, the entire room was enveloped in a dazzling light, within which countless stars seemed to twinkle and swirl, as if the power of time and space had been activated in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a phantom light screen appeared on the box, clearly displaying the options for the main quest monthly exam and the grade skipping exam, along with a prominent prompt: "Activate the fast track to skip the daily life in the game and directly enter the monthly exams for each subject and the first semester's final exams?"
Yuan Bao's eyes were firm, and he clicked "Yes" without hesitation.
In an instant, a flash of light appeared, and she felt as if she were in a strange spacetime vortex, with the surrounding scenery changing rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, she was already standing at the entrance of the school's monthly exam hall, holding brand-new stationery in her hand and wearing a neat school uniform, feeling both nervous and excited.
At the same time, Bao Guo also appeared at the entrance of the junior high school exam hall.
He stood tall and straight, his eyes radiating confidence and composure, clearly indicating that he had come prepared.
Their eyes met, and they nodded slightly. Although they didn't speak, a tacit understanding and fighting spirit welled up in their hearts, and they were both determined to shine in this exam.
Inside the examination room, the atmosphere was heavy and quiet, with only the scratching sound of pens scratching on the exam paper.
Yuan Bao sat down, took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his state, and sorted through the knowledge in his mind one by one as if rewinding a tape.
Thanks to her hard work and experience in the game world, as well as the tenacious study habits she developed in the real world, she remained calm and composed when faced with difficult questions on the exam paper.
Whether it's obscure and difficult classical Chinese reading comprehension or complex and ever-changing mathematical word problems, she can handle them calmly, and her answers flow smoothly from her pen.
Time passed by, and the bell rang crisply as the exam ended.
Yuan Bao put down his pen, let out a long sigh of relief, and felt full of confidence.
She knew that she had performed relatively consistently, and she was determined to succeed in each of these monthly exams.
After the monthly exam, Yuan Bao and Bao Guo both ranked first in their grade, topping the list for the first and second years of junior high school, respectively.
Their outstanding academic performance attracted the attention of school leaders.
Vice Principal Yu personally approached Yuan Bao and informed him that, as agreed, he would arrange for Yuan Bao to skip a grade and take the assessment for the third year of junior high school after the final exams.
Taking the opportunity, Yuan Bao suggested that his elder brother Bao Guo also wanted to take the grade skipping exam, and Vice Principal Yu readily agreed.
The system then prompted: You have three days to adjust your status.
While adjusting their routines, Yuan Bao and Bao Guo threw themselves into reviewing for the final exams and the junior high school grade skipping exam.
They get up early every day and spend time in their rooms memorizing texts and vocabulary, then repeatedly work through the review questions from the previous semester for each subject.
Little 9 also stayed by Yuan Bao's side, occasionally handing her a cup of hot tea or helping her find information. The two worked together seamlessly, like comrades-in-arms fighting side by side.
Finally, three days later, the final exams arrived.
Yuan Bao stepped into the examination room again. This time, her eyes were more determined and her steps were more steady.
In the examination room, she was in her element, making full use of her knowledge.
Bao Guo also performed exceptionally well in the junior high school exam. His solid knowledge and calm answering style made him stand out among many candidates.
After the final exams, comes the exciting yet nerve-wracking assessment for skipping a grade in the third year of junior high.
This is a comprehensive test that not only covers knowledge from various disciplines, but also places extremely high demands on students' adaptability and innovative thinking.
Yuan Bao and Bao Guo stood outside the examination hall, encouraging each other.
"Yuan Bao, keep it up! Let's go together!" Bao Guo patted Yuan Bao on the shoulder, his eyes full of trust.
"Yes, big brother, we can definitely do it!" Yuan Bao clenched his fist, his eyes radiating confidence.
Vice Principal Yu and the Dean of Studies also attended to offer their encouragement.
After entering the examination room, Yuan Bao quickly scanned the exam paper and felt confident.
She started with the subjects she was good at, answering questions steadily and surely. When she encountered difficult problems, she calmly thought about them and tried to analyze and solve them from different angles.
Time slipped away quietly during the intense exam. Yuan Bao felt as if he had entered a state of complete absorption, where everything around him became blurred, and only the exam paper in front of him and the knowledge in his mind were clearly visible.
Meanwhile, Bao Guo, on the other side of the examination hall, was also giving it his all.
With his profound knowledge and quick thinking, he overcame one challenge after another.
As the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, Yuan Bao and Bao Guo simultaneously put down their pens, exchanged a glance, and saw exhaustion in each other's eyes, but even more so, the joy of victory.
A few days later, the results were announced.
Yuan Bao and Bao Guo both successfully passed the grade skipping assessment and received the affirmation and approval of Vice Principal Yu.
Yuan Bao stood on the school playground, gazing at the azure sky, his heart filled with countless emotions.
This time, the fast track to the main quest opened by the Time-Space Key allowed her to experience the thrill of rapid growth, and it also made her realize that as long as she seizes opportunities and dares to take on challenges, she can create her own glory in the game world.
"Little 9, we did it!" Yuan Bao said excitedly to Little 9, tears glistening in his eyes.
Little 9, visible only to Yuan Bao, twirled merrily in the air: "Yes, Master! This is all thanks to your hard work. We'll definitely be even more amazing next time!"
Yuan Bao nodded slightly. She knew that this was a new beginning, a beginning of distancing herself from Aunt Yuan and further resolving her inner conflicts.
In the future, even more challenges and opportunities await her. Whether in the game world or in real life, she will forge ahead with even more determined steps to pursue her dreams.
