[Chen Mobai, 345 points]
After struggling to check his score for quite a while, the rare visitor Chen Xinglan burst into laughter.
"Son, with this score, you're sure to secure a place in one of the top ten academies."
"Blessed by our ancestors, I am going back to my hometown tomorrow to burn incense for them."
The elated Tang Panchui couldn't help but shed a few tears. Neither in the history of the Chen family nor her family, had anyone managed to secure admission into the top ten academies. Chen Mobai's score was heralding an entirely unprecedented honour for both families.
Returning to her hometown, she can hold her head high with confidence.
"It's a pity, five more points would have been even better."
In reality, Chen Mobai initially expected score was around 330 points. He got lucky on the last major question on the formation paper and gained an extra 15 points.
