Protect Our Patriarch
Chapter 52: This guy can pretend better than this princess

---

Murong Xijuan spoke with a look of admiration and envy, "Although it's my first time meeting the esteemed young master, I've heard he's exceptionally kind. If someone truly needs help and seeks his assistance, as long as the situation is genuine, he will surely lend a hand. Of course, that's only if there's a real need. If anyone dares to fabricate stories to deceive him, not only will the elders of the Wang Clan disapprove, but even the common folk won't stand for it."

So kind-hearted?

Yuling raised her eyebrows, somewhat incredulous.

In this day and age, pure and kind-hearted youngsters are rare in the noble families. If the young master of the Wang Clan is truly of such a disposition, then he is indeed a rare breed.

As they spoke, Wang Fugui had already led a group of people into the Special Professions Guild with great fanfare.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Young Wang Fugui, with one hand behind his back, greeted the guild staff familiarly along the way, speaking in a manner befitting an official, "My father is straightforward and sometimes his words may not be pleasant. I hope all the brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts can be understanding. I've prepared some small gifts here, as a token of appreciation from my father."

With that, he waved his small chubby hand.

The attendants immediately sprang into action, pulling out a large quantity of supplies from their storage rings, including various glass jars of preserved fruits and nuts, coffee, tea, and boxes of canned beef, as well as exquisitely packaged spiritual crocodile meat floss, all high-quality products from the various joint departments of the Wang Clan.

Among them, the preserved fruits, nuts, and canned beef were products of the planting and food processing divisions under the Dala Reclamation Joint Headquarters. The coffee and tea, mostly produced in the Southern Border, were processed locally and exported nationwide and even to other countries and the Immortal Dynasty.

In recent years, the Wang Clan Research Institute has made significant progress in the research of livelihood materials and related technologies, gradually professionalizing and industrializing food processing, preservation, transportation, and more.

Of course, many of these ideas were "inspired" by Wang Shouzhe, such as vacuum packaging, screw caps, and canning technology. However, Wang Shouzhe always provided direction and ideas without delving into technical details.

Firstly, he didn't understand them well himself.

Secondly, the research institute now had many talented researchers, some of whom were true geniuses with top-notch learning and creative abilities. Allowing them to explore on their own might lead to even more advanced developments. Restricting them too much might stifle their creativity.

Nowadays, the processing, sterilization, and packaging techniques for these foods have been gradually perfected. Although different from Earth's technology, they achieve similar results.

The people living in Changning Garrison have long been accustomed to these packages.

However, the two attendants seemed to have endless supplies, clearly indicating that their storage space was quite large.

"Is that a top-grade storage ring?" The little girl widened her eyes in disbelief. "This little brat is so ostentatious, giving such a good storage ring to an attendant? He's just a country bumpkin's kid, acting all high and mighty as if he's something special."

This kind of storage ring is on par with the "Endless Abyss."

Thinking back to over a hundred years ago when Wang Anye went out with just an Endless Abyss, even Wang Shouzhe was envious at the time.

But times have changed, and the Wang Clan has developed. The current Wang Clan is no longer what it used to be.

"Oh, you little girl, how should I put it?" Murong Xijuan said with slight dissatisfaction, "What does it matter to you if our young master's attendant uses a top-grade storage ring? The young master is kind-hearted and likes to give everyone snacks and daily necessities. Without a top-grade storage ring, would you have him carry them on a pole?"

"Yun Mengyu." Yuling also glanced at her with a flowing gaze, "You're only nine years old, just a little brat yourself. Besides, you weren't exactly well-behaved back home. If you keep talking nonsense, you can take a flying boat back home yourself."

Others might be afraid of this girl and indulge her, but Yuling wouldn't.

"Oh dear, what's his status? What's mine? How can you compare?" Yun Mengyu clung to Yuling's hand, acting coquettishly, "Sister Yuling, I was wrong, okay?"

Meanwhile, Wang Fugui continued distributing items.

"Thank you, young master."

"Young master, you're too kind. I want to marry you as a concubine."

"Young master, are you engaged? Does your family need a maid?"

"Haha, I'm not engaged yet." "Thank you, but my family doesn't need a maid." Despite the commotion, Wang Fugui remained patient and good-tempered, nodding and responding to each person.

It was impressive how he remembered everyone, greeting each employee without missing anyone.

"Young master, are you here to visit your father today?" A mid-level manager greeted him with a smile, "I'll take you upstairs. The appraisal hall is crowded, and you might get bumped into."

"No worries, no worries. The security in Xinping Town is quite good." Although young, Wang Fugui was well-mannered and courteous, "However, I'm not here to visit my father this time; I'm here to take a qualification exam."

"An exam?"

The surrounding staff and professionals conducting business turned their heads in surprise at Wang Fugui.

You're the legitimate heir of the Wang Clan, and you're taking an exam? Regardless of whether you can pass at such a young age, what use is the certificate to you? If you wanted to join any Wang Clan company, who could stop you?

"Don't be surprised, everyone." Wang Fugui clasped his hands behind his back, his baby-fat face serious, "The auxiliary profession planning system was proposed by my Ancestor Grandfather and gradually perfected by my father. As the legitimate heir of the family, I should set an example and support the work of my Ancestor Grandfather and father."

"Young master, which auxiliary profession have you studied?" The mid-level manager hesitated before cautiously asking, "I'll personally arrange for someone to test you."

Wang Fugui shook his head, "Just treat me like an ordinary professional. Queue up as needed, and whichever examiner it is, it will be. Whether I pass or not depends on my own abilities. Make sure not to break any guild rules because of anyone's status."

"You're right, young master." The mid-level manager straightened his expression and quickly agreed, "But which exam are you taking? Cutting in line is necessary. After all, your status is noble, your time is precious, and everyone likes you, so they won't mind."

"Then, let's start with the spiritual plant cultivator exam." Wang Fugui pondered, "After all, I have inherited the wood-element bloodline of the family."

Start with the spiritual plant cultivator exam?

Everyone was taken aback.

The young master is only nine years old, right?

Nowadays, Wang Clan children start school at six and begin formal cultivation at eight. The young master has been cultivating for less than two years. At this age, passing even one exam would make him a genius among geniuses, but from his tone, it seems like he plans to take other exams as well?

"Then, I'll arrange your spiritual plant cultivator assessment right away." The mid-level manager was puzzled but didn't dare delay, quickly saying, "The primary spiritual plant cultivator assessment consists of three parts: a written test, practical operation, and an expert questioning session. The written test covers a lot, including soil maintenance, pest and disease control, plant spacing, seasonal changes, the operation of small Gathering Spirit Arrays, and troubleshooting simple faults, among other things."

"I've studied all these with someone, let's begin." Wang Fugui appeared confident.

Seeing this, the mid-level manager felt slightly relieved and personally led Wang Fugui to a small examination room, randomly selecting one of four sets of test papers for him, and then left the room.

Wang Fugui settled in the small room and began working on the test papers with peace of mind.

Since the tables and chairs in the room were for adults, and the chair was too low, he took out a small stool he carried with him, placed it on the chair, and comfortably reached the desk, showing how well-prepared he was.

As news spread that Wang Fugui was taking the professional exam, many people came to watch the spectacle.

To ensure fairness, the Special Professions Guild had large one-way glass on the side of each examination room, allowing clear visibility of the inside, facilitating supervision and preventing any favoritism or cheating.

As more people came to watch, a large crowd unknowingly gathered outside Wang Fugui's examination room.

Everyone craned their necks, peering through the window with curiosity.

Because there were so many people, those at the front were pushed and squeezed, their faces almost pressed against the glass.

The guild's examination process was already strictly regulated. Everyone knew that even for a primary spiritual plant cultivator, passing the written test wasn't easy.

The written test was extremely challenging, covering a wide range of detailed knowledge, with five test papers. Even students who had studied for years at vocational colleges often failed.

Under the supervision of the crowd outside the one-way glass, young Wang Fugui seemed to write with divine inspiration, completing all the test papers in less than the time it took for two incense sticks to burn.

Three experts immediately exchanged the papers on-site and quickly finished grading all five.

When the scores were announced, the scene erupted.

Perfect score!

Five extensive, intricately designed test papers, and Wang Fugui scored a perfect score.

In the twenty-plus years since the Special Professions Guild was established, perfect scores weren't unheard of, as this was just a primary spiritual plant cultivator exam. With the development of the times and the spread of basic education, many experts had emerged in various fields.

However, to be cautious, they checked the papers several times, but still found no issues—still a perfect score.

"The young master truly lives up to being the legitimate heir of the Wang Clan." "So smart, and he's only nine."

"What's there to boast about? There's still the practical test."

Yun Mengyu and Yuling hadn't left; they stayed with the crowd to watch the excitement. Hearing the discussions around them, Yun Mengyu's expression grew increasingly peculiar.

Next came the practical assessment. The examiner brought out several different first and second-grade spiritual plants, each with various ailments or issues, requiring Wang Fugui to diagnose and treat them on the spot.

Wang Fugui promptly identified the problems with the plants, then began mixing potions on the spot, using his abundant wood-element profound energy to help catalyze and absorb the potions.

Soon, the various plants were revived.

Though the process seemed simple, it actually required a vast amount of related knowledge and experience. The Wang Clan had organized this knowledge and practical skills into professional knowledge, with a vast amount of content.

Without years of practice, it was impossible to make such precise judgments and handle it so effortlessly.

"Young master, you're truly amazing." Many were in awe, "How did you gain such experience at such a young age?"

"There's actually no special trick." Wang Fugui humbly replied, "My family has many low-grade spiritual farmlands, and we encounter countless plant diseases and pests daily, all of which are recorded. I can also have people bring in large quantities of diseased plants to practice on."

Wang Fugui's words naturally elicited a wave of flattery.

During the subsequent expert interview session, the intermediate spiritual plant cultivator examiners didn't go easy, even asking a few tricky questions, especially about some special knowledge on soil cultivation.

However, Wang Fugui calmly and steadily addressed each question, truly showcasing his talent in planting.

"Young master's proficiency in spiritual planting is sufficient to be a primary spiritual plant cultivator."

Some of the onlooking primary spiritual plant cultivators felt self-conscious after seeing Wang Fugui's solid foundation, realizing they hadn't studied thoroughly enough.

"Congratulations, young master. Here is your primary spiritual plant cultivator qualification certificate. Additionally, according to the guild's Spirit Artifact statistics, you are currently the youngest registered primary spiritual plant cultivator."

As soon as Wang Fugui passed the assessment, the mid-level manager immediately arranged for the certificate to be made and presented it with both hands as if seeking credit.

Wang Fugui solemnly accepted it, carefully putting it away, then calmly said, "Since I've finished the spiritual plant cultivator exam, let's proceed with the primary alchemist exam."

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Alchemist is an ancient auxiliary profession, with a higher threshold than spiritual plant cultivator.

"Young master, aren't you a wood-element talent?" The mid-level manager was astonished, "How did you end up studying alchemy?"

"Yes, but my forty-seventh uncle gave me a fire-element top-grade spiritual tool—Leaving Fire Crow, which is great for refining first and second-grade pills and low-level trial equipment. Oh, and include the primary trial equipment maker exam as well."

"..." Everyone broke into a cold sweat.

The mid-level manager was dumbfounded, "Young master, you, you want to take a third exam?"

"No, I'm here to take five exams. The other two are primary puppet master and primary array master. I learned trial equipment and puppetry from my forty-seventh uncle, and as for arrays... my grandfather is an array master, so it's a family tradition I can't ignore." Wang Fugui sighed and shook his head, "It's just a pity that I can't communicate with bugs and spiritual beasts; my talent in that area is too lacking."

Is this what you call lacking?

A total of seven auxiliary professions, and you're only nine years old. You're taking five exams at once, leaving no room for others to compete.

The various professionals and onlookers sighed inwardly, wishing such a prodigious talent wouldn't add to the competition.

"Sister Yuling, I can't stand it, I really can't." The little girl Yun Mengyu was furious, "This time, don't stop me. I want this little brat to see the prowess of the Cold Moon Princess, the future heir of the Immortal Dynasty."

Yuling slapped her forehead, indeed, it was a mistake to bring this notorious troublemaker out.

This Princess Mengyu couldn't stand two types of people in her life: those who could show off more than her, and those who wouldn't let her show off.

Given the current situation, she probably couldn't hold back any longer.
