500, 520, 550...
It kept rising until it reached 608 points, and then stopped.
"Prestige has climbed to Admiration (8862/10000), an increase of 152 points, 2 points different from my calculation. The margin of error is within an acceptable range." Bai Pu thought silently to himself.
The Emergency First Aid Ointment is of great significance to Sun Quan's Army, just look at Lu Jun's behavior to know. He hurriedly found Gan Ning, promising great benefits, and tried to persuade him emotionally to stabilize Bai Pu and monopolize the ointment business.
According to Lu Jun's plan, the Lu Clan would become the overlord of the medicine industry, gaining incredible wealth, possibly even influencing Sun Quan's Army's major procurement needs, and meddling in the military!
The reason Gan Ning agreed, aside from his friendship with Lu Jun, was his desire to connect with the aristocratic families of East of the River. After all, Gan Ning was like a floating weed in East of the River.
Bai Pu donated the formula for the Emergency First Aid Ointment to Sun Quan's Army for free, and the prestige he gained was astounding. Converted into points, it naturally saw a significant increase.
Sun Quan's Army, after all, is the main faction in the Three Kingdoms: Chibi Plane. If the formula was given to the Lu Clan, a minor force, even if prestige reached Adoration, it wouldn't convert into many points.
The key lies in the production method, which ensures the natives can successfully produce it. Other Awakened individuals, even if they offer medicine, would absolutely not have the necessary knowledge reserves to teach the natives to make medicinal ointments!
This was Bai Pu's fallback, ensuring he stayed ahead of the Overlord.
Now, Bai Pu's points are 94 points higher than the Overlord!
Gan Ning listened, his thick eyebrows furrowed, Copper Bell Eyes wide open! He shouted sternly, "Bo Yue, do you not care about your clan's honor?"
The concept of clans in the Late Han was extremely strong, especially for noble families like the Wu County Lu Clan.
After all, the Han Dynasty had been governing by filial piety for four hundred years, and the concept of filial piety was deeply ingrained in people's hearts.
Bai Pu shook his head and said, "Offering the formula is the way to preserve the clan. Does General Gan really think that the Wu County Lu Clan can control such a military and national tool like the Emergency First Aid Ointment?"
Gan Ning frowned in thought, seemingly understanding something.
However, Gan Ning's face remained cold, after all, with Bai Pu's actions, the benefits Lu Jun promised him were gone, and his chance to gain favor with the Lu Clan was also gone.
Bai Pu continued, "After all, both Doctor Liu and I came from the West Camp under your command, General Gan. In the letters to Zijing, I have repeatedly mentioned your efforts in protecting me, General Gan.
"In my humble opinion, instead of courting aristocratic families in East of the River, General Gan should actively align with Master Gongjin and Master Zijing. After all, the fire ship that burned the river and defeated the Cao Army has already made the Grand Commander value General Gan highly. If you continue to waver, it will only cause annoyance."
Gan Ning was taken aback, bowed to Bai Pu, and said, "Your advice is well received."
Actually, Bai Pu could easily ignore Gan Ning's reaction now.
After all, the Gan Ning before him was just a replica, and any rapport he built would not carry over into the real Three Kingdoms Plane.
If he ever entered the real Three Kingdoms Plane World, Bai Pu would still have to get to know Gan Ning anew. Whether they would be friends or foes is still hard to say.
Bai Pu was willing to talk so much to Gan Ning, not only because of his quality of meticulousness but also to gain more understanding of this Eastern Wu general's character traits through interaction.
Upon meeting the real Gan Ning in the future, Bai Pu would have more room to maneuver his eloquence, and his persuasion would be more precise.
The Overlord and Crazy Zen did not have such thoughts.
For example, the Overlord would not seek out those Yellow Turban Remnants who fled.
As for the dozens of Cao Army members that Crazy Zen initially brought, he persuaded them to follow him through a mix of religious brainwashing and promising substantial benefits.
Now, those followers were anxious, while Crazy Zen crossed his arms, his face changing intermittently, showing no intention of appeasing them.
The Overlord and Crazy Zen had become mere backgrounds for Bai Pu, watching him from afar with mixed feelings.
The ten-day Spirit Realm exploration exam period finally reached its end.
The Spirit Realm Will conveyed a message:
[The Spirit Realm exploration exam is about to end. Countdown: 30, 29, 28...]
Bai Pu closed his eyes and recalled every detail from the Three Kingdoms: Chibi Plane scene.
The amiable Doctor Liu, the mysterious Huilong Temple, the ferocious Jiang Tuo, the sharp Blood Spider, the formidable Cao Zhang...
It was impossible to say there were no regrets. In the Chibi Plane scene where stars gathered, Bai Pu did not get to witness the legendary Zhuge Liang, almost wizard-like in wisdom, or the warrior heroes Guan, Zhang, Zhao Yun. It was a considerable regret.
However, Bai Pu's mind was clear. When he entered the exam, he was only at Level 2, and the gap in hard strength was too large to gain the attention of those figures—Zhuge Liang and Guan, Zhang, Zhao Yun are likely to be above the rank of Lord.
Even someone as strong as the Overlord, gathering the team's strength, barely reached the level of Zhou Yu; Bai Pu's ability to connect with Gan Ning was already the limit.
"I will be back... once I have the strength to stand openly and confidently in front of these historical generals!"
The mirrored scene froze, and the dozens of examinees who persevered to the end turned into white beams of light and simultaneously disappeared.
...
The light slowly receded, and Bai Pu returned to the familiar yet strange exam room.
This Spirit Realm exploration exam was a collective transmission facilitated by the Spirit Realm Will to the Mirror Plane, so upon returning, there was no score settlement screen, nor was there an option for a personal return anchor point, it directly returned you from where you came.
The scene before his eyes remained unchanged, only the slightly dusty table reminded Bai Pu that ten days had passed in the real world.
"What score did you get?"
"Not much, just over a hundred, what about you?"
"Heavens, that's not much? I only converted over seventy points!"
"..."
The thirty Awakened examinees in the exam room whispered among themselves, probing each other about their scores, asking how many points the others received.
Bai Pu showed no interest in this and stepped out of the room, walking straight out of the exam area.
The previously lively exam perimeter had now turned cold and deserted. Most parents who had accompanied their children were gone, leaving only a few sporadic cars parked by the roadside, a sign that a few parents were still waiting.
After all, examinees who awakened before the university entrance exams were extremely rare.
To Bai Pu's surprise, Li Ling's army-green Jeep was still there.
"Little Bai Pu~!" Su Xiaoxiao's voice rang out, as a girlish soft hand waved vigorously, "Here, here!"
Li Ling stood with arms folded, leaning against the front of the car, the hem of her white shirt tied neatly in a knot, revealing her delicate waist.
Her folded-arms posture emphasized her firm bust, almost bursting through the white shirt.
Her tanned skin, slender waistline, and the rugged hood of the Jeep combined to form a striking image of contrast.
Li Ling leaned against the front of the car with her arms crossed, the hem of her white shirt tied in a neat knot, showing off her slender waist.
"Little Bai Pu, how many points did you score?" Su Xiaoxiao eagerly asked.
Bai Pu put on a personal information terminal wristwatch and asked the smart assistant Xiao Bai to display his exam score.
General Knowledge Subject (Cultural Subject): 200
Virtual Combat: 200
Spirit Realm Exploration: 608
Total: 1008 points.
Li Ling and Su Xiaoxiao gathered around Bai Pu, rubbing their eyes as they looked at the information several times.
"Do you know what this score means?" Su Xiaoxiao muttered.
Bai Pu thought for a moment: "I'm the top student of the No. 1 Mirror Plane... If other candidates got perfect scores on virtual combat, maybe..."
"It's not just that!" Su Xiaoxiao quickly said, "The Spirit Realm Will has set the score conversion ratio like this:"
"That's why it matches the college entrance exam weight—Cultural Subjects 20%, Virtual Combat 20%, Spirit Realm Exploration 60%!"
