Chapter 901: Chapter 901: Preparing for the Civil Service Exam
Ji Yang quickly figured out his situation: if he continued being a teacher, it would likely end in failure for him.
Of course, Ji Yang couldn’t follow their design for his life. The only path before him was to become an official.
Arriving at the principal’s house, Ji Yang said to the principal, “Principal, I’d like to take a few days off to go to the county and see a doctor.”
The principal, a middle-aged man named Huang Guangwei, looked at Ji Yang appreciatively and asked, “What’s wrong with your health? Is it serious?”
“Just feeling a bit dizzy, I want to get it checked out.”
“Alright, I’ll have someone cover your classes. You go and get checked.”
After getting his leave approved, Ji Yang quickly headed to the roadside.
This was a rural middle school, so to get to the county town, he needed to take one of the private small trucks that operated there.
Spending five yuan, Ji Yang got onto the vehicle.
Everyone stood in the truck’s compartment, holding onto the bars tightly, and Ji Yang was no exception. Right now, he couldn’t use his cultivation at all.
An hour later, the vehicle arrived in the county town.
After getting off, Ji Yang went straight to the bookstore.
The only goal of his visit this time was to buy exam preparation books for the civil service exam; he had to study with all his might.
The bookstore had plenty of exam preparation books. Ji Yang picked one up and started reading it on the spot.
As he read, Ji Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Indeed, some of his abilities came in handy at this time. His memory was truly astonishing, and his comprehension was equally strong. As he flipped through the pages of the book, a wealth of knowledge was imprinted in his mind.
Looking at the situation around, he saw many people simply found a place to sit and read. The bookstore even had a designated reading area for people to sit and read.
Seeing this, Ji Yang decided not to leave. He grabbed a few books and went over to sit down.
Flipping through page after page, Ji Yang quickly went through a book.
Fortunately, Ji Yang sat with his back facing everyone, not drawing anyone’s attention.
As time passed, Ji Yang managed to finish all the civil service exam books available there.
Sitting there in contemplation for a while, the knowledge from the books seemed almost fully integrated into his memory.
Not only that, but the methods and problem-solving approaches from many of the guide books had also merged into his thoughts.
At this point, when looking at those question types, Ji Yang found nothing he didn’t understand.
The Mortal Dust Qi really helped him fend off those people’s attacks!
After another round of searching to confirm he had really gone through all the civil service exam books there, Ji Yang felt confident. He realized he didn’t need to study as hard as others; just flipping through these books was enough.
Leaving that bookstore, Ji Yang went to another one and found two different guidebooks. After standing there and quickly flipping through them, he had thoroughly absorbed their contents.
Ji Yang knew what being an official entailed. Learning just these contents wasn’t enough; he also needed to study various governmental knowledge, so he went over to the section with books on government institutions and began reviewing them.
The day quickly passed, and by the time the bookstore closed, under the staff’s disapproving gaze, Ji Yang left without buying any books.
He found a modest hotel and decided to inquire about the civil service exam the next day.
Although an orphan, the previous owner of Ji Yang’s body had managed to earn some money through temporary jobs and tutoring. Now, with a stable income from teaching, he had some savings. He believed he could certainly sustain himself and manage to enter the civil servant ranks.
