To snag a couple more meals, Ge Jiaojie, along with her old man, insisted on staying with Du Bin and his wife for the two days of the weekend, just like Qiu Xi.
Sunday, evening.
"Master, Grandma Li, we'll be heading back to school then."
Because Ding Yujing had something at school, the three who had planned to leave the next morning decided to go back early.
"Go ahead, drive carefully."
"Okay."
...
Night.
"Beep!"
"Calligraphy skill leveled up, rewarded with a brush: Inkstone Fragrance."
"..."
Qiu Xi looked at this skill, which was almost lit up before going to the Shen family's place, and was speechless.
Just now, she thought that since she had returned early tonight, she might as well practice a bit more to finish the proficiency and maybe get some reward.
Who knew it was just a brush!
Taking another look at the brush's description: a very ordinary brush, with an elegant name, but otherwise unremarkable.
Oh! Maybe it could also make calligraphy fragrant~ but that depends on one's luck~
"..."
After reading, Qiu Xi was completely speechless.
"Xiao Hua, does your system even have rewards like this?"
"Of course, we system providers must have everything."
For KPIs, they are serious!
They can't be surpassed by any other high-tech systems, they have aspirations too!
"..."
"Xiao Hua, do you really think I'm praising you?"
"Aren't you?"
"..."
Reluctantly admitting, "Yes!"
"I knew it! But your speed, Xiao Xi, is really not very good..."
If it weren't for the tasks, its classroom utilization rate wouldn't be so high, let alone leveling up this skill.
Her Xiao Xi is nothing like those in the neighboring eras and ancient times; they are all more powerful, making it envious...
Alas~ talking too much is just the tears of a working person!
"... Xiao Hua, don't you have very little hair left?"
"How did you know... No, I have plenty of hair!"
Hmph!
Even with three hairs, I still have hair!
"Hahaha~"
"I knew it! You shouldn't worry about people like you, or you'll lose your hair!"
"..."
If it can maintain its KPI, it doesn't matter if it has no hair... At worst, it can borrow from the neighboring systems.
Perhaps touching a sore spot, as soon as Qiu Xi finished her last sentence, Xiao Hua disappeared.
In the end, Qiu Xi was left alone, looking at the "all show and no substance" brush she had just obtained.
After thinking about it, she didn't seem to need it much.
Among the people she knew and had a good relationship with, Aunt Hu would probably like this the most.
Should she give it to Aunt Hu next time she sees her?
Thinking about it, she hadn't prepared anything when she went during May Day.
This time, she would give it to Aunt Hu, after all, besides being usable, it also had a high aesthetic appeal!
As for Uncle Shen, that's another matter.
Next time she went, he probably wouldn't care about any other gifts.
After looking for a long time, Qiu Xi finally felt at peace, thinking that it was still somewhat useful.
...
"Xiao Xi, when are you taking your exam?"
Everyone knew that Qiu Xi had registered for the IELTS in May. After more than two weeks since she returned, it seemed about time, so they asked.
Qiu Xi thought about what she had seen and replied, "The day after tomorrow."
"Do you want us to accompany you?"
"No need, Nan Hua said he would accompany me."
"You guys should practice well and aim to take the exam next month."
Although all three of them had said before that the time was too tight and they would wait until the next semester.
But later, Qiu Xi, based on their progress, compressed and compressed it again. Now, she thought that aiming for June was not impossible.
Especially for Song Daiyao, if she were to follow Teacher Yang Yue, it would be better to finish earlier.
In addition, Qiu Xi, considering everyone's plans and her own certificate-collecting tasks, thought it was best to use some of the system's elixirs for the three of them.
That's why she dared to say these words.
"Okay~_~"
After hearing this, the three of them paused before nodding.
Originally, after seeing the plan Xiao Xi gave them, they really wanted to postpone it to the next semester.
But later, as they studied, they were inexplicably motivated by Xiao Xi and seemed addicted to learning.
Their progress had been surprisingly fast recently, even they were shocked.
In the end, unable to figure out why, they could only attribute it to having such an excellent sister as Xiao Xi to be their little teacher.
"Okay, come on＾０＾~"
"You all can do it!"
"Okay~"
...
Another two days passed.
The exam was tomorrow. To prevent any accidents,
Even though both Qiu Xi and Nan Hua had cars, they found a hotel nearby and stayed in advance.
"Nan Hua, come and practice with me quickly."
Qiu Xi truly regretted not asking earlier!
Just now, just now, Qiu Xi found out that this person who never said a word had already passed the IELTS!
And with a not-low score!
This made Qiu Xi explode. She should have thought of it earlier.
She had really missed this opportunity for nothing!
"Coming~"
Nan Hua gave a wry smile. Xi Xi hadn't asked him either...
Now, there was no choice but to obediently be a temporary practice partner.
