The little children clasped their hands together, devoutly praying in front of the well-placed small statue of Confucius: “Grandpa Confucius, please bless us to get 100 marks in our exams, and we will bring you snacks to eat!”

The children were murmuring prayers, and after finishing, they earnestly kowtowed to Grandpa Confucius. The little chubby kid’s kowtow was the loudest.

The children from the Green Grass class in the kindergarten kowtowed so loudly that the viewers watching the live stream burst into laughter.

[Oh my, I can’t stop laughing!]

[Hahaha, what are these children doing? Paying respects to Confucius, who came up with this clever idea?!]

[I’m dying of laughter. Who’s the clever child wearing overalls? How smart of him to lead the whole class in kowtowing.]

The barrage was filled with ‘hahaha’, and apart from that, there were detailed pieces of information about the child wearing overalls who’s leading in the video.

As the father of the little chubby child, looking at these messages on the screen, his vision almost went dark.

He believed the little child when he said that he was confident in taking the exams.

But he never imagined that his child would choose the metaphysical way to take it.

In despair, Zhan Xi held Ling Qi’s hand, his voice slightly trembling: “Ling Qi, am I seeing things? My child couldn’t possibly be this embarrassing.”

Ling Qi: “...”

Ling Qi was speechless.

He subconsciously glanced at An Nuo, only to find that An Nuo, who had always been calm and composed, had a cracked expression at the moment.

Especially after Raphael called An Nuo, and An Nuo saw the call, he directly hung up without hesitation.

If Raphael was calling, it must be to laugh at him!

The people in the room were watching the live stream video. If they weren’t suspecting their eyesight, they thought there might be something wrong with their mental state.

In the palace.

Ludwig watched the video and was also left speechless.

After a few days of not seeing each other, the little child came up with another new trick.

In the Federation.

Marshal Twain, who was also watching the livestream, took a glance at the chubby child, and then thought about his increasingly mischievous son. Comparing the two, it seemed that his kid wasn’t that much of a trouble after all.

Compared to the complex thoughts of these adults, Hardy, the head of the Imperial Military Kindergarten, seemed much more straightforward in his feelings—

Regret, it was all regret.

He shouldn’t have greedily watched the Federation’s kindergarten livestream; he should have remained low-key!

Now that there were so many people watching the livestream, the embarrassment of his own kindergarten’s children would spread throughout the entire interstellar space.

If his children were embarrassed, their kindergarten’s reputation would suffer as well.

Hardy felt so embarrassed that he closed his eyes for a while before finally opening them again.

The teacher next to him looked at Hardy’s expression and then at the Green Grass Class, not knowing what to say.

Luckily, the embarrassing spectacle of the Green Grass Class children didn’t last too long.

After respectfully kowtowing to Grandpa Confucius, the chubby child got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his legs, and then asked everyone to put away their own Grandpa Confucius.

“Put it in the desk, and also store the food.”

“Yes, let Grandpa Confucius have a good meal.”

They needed the kindergarten tables, so they couldn’t leave Grandpa Confucius on them, or else the incoming teachers would see.

The chubby child directed everyone in an orderly manner, and soon, they all put away Grandpa Confucius and returned to their seats.

After kowtowing, the children’s faces turned red, filled with confidence and happiness. They were not at all anxious about the upcoming exam.

With Grandpa Confucius’s blessing, the children felt they would soon achieve excellent results!

Soon after, the teacher came with the test papers. The teacher from another class handed out the papers, and as soon as she walked in, the children eagerly stretched their necks, eager to get their papers.

The chubby child was no exception.

The curly-haired teacher looked at the little children and a smile of amusement flashed in her eyes, as if she was looking at a group of little fools. After finishing distributing the papers, she cleared her throat and began explaining the exam rules.

“Remember, no cheating allowed. Now, everyone, carefully check your test papers for any blank or missing pages. If you find any missing pages, raise your hand and let me know.”

The previous few classes were all exams, so the little children followed the teacher’s instructions and checked their papers.

After the inspection, they began reading the questions.

As they went through the questions one by one, the little children looked puzzled.

It seemed like they didn’t know how to answer these questions!

But the little chubby one, who had just paid respects to Confucius, quickly regained confidence after a few seconds of confusion.

No worries.

Since the little child had paid respects to Grandpa Confucius, as long as he filled in the test paper, he would definitely get a perfect score!

With renewed confidence, the little child tightened his grip on the pencil and began to concentrate on writing.

Due to what happened in the small class earlier, the Green Grass Class became the most watched class.

Zhan Xi was searching for his child in the camera’s view.

Seeing his child lower his head, apparently having filled in the test paper completely, Zhan Xi was both surprised and almost felt like the superstition worked.

“Ningning paid respects to that Confucius... I wonder if it really worked?”

Zhan Xi lowered his voice and asked Ling Qi: “Look, he’s writing without stopping.”

In the past, whenever the little child wrote homework or took a test, he would write a little, then stop, leaving a lot of empty spaces.

Due to the distance, Zhan Xi couldn’t see clearly what his child was writing, but he could tell that the other was filling in all the empty spaces on the test paper.

Watching young children taking exams wasn’t really that interesting.

Principal Hardy originally started the livestream so that the Empire’s parents could watch, and the Empire’s parents would probably enjoy this kind of livestream.

However, now in the livestream room, it seemed that there were more unmarried and childless young people.

Even some college students were among the main viewers in the livestream room.

After watching the little children writing the test papers for a while, someone couldn’t help but ask, [Why do I feel like those little children who paid respects to Confucius seem to be doing so well in the exam?]

[Um, although I don’t want to be superstitious, these little children really didn’t hesitate when writing the answers to the exams.]

[Alright, enough talking. I’ve already placed an order for the same small statue!]

[Placing an order +1!]

[Placing an order +100086!]

The trend of placing orders surged in the live streaming room. Even the embarrassed father, Zhan Xi, saw an opportunity and immediately started advertising.

]Add my Star ID xxxx, and the same small statue will be shipped to your home for free!]

[Add my Star ID, I can help you purchase the same small statue at a fair price, no deceit towards anyone.]

Zhan Xi not only advertised himself but also urged Ling Qi to do it together.

Ling Qi was not willing to do so.

As the two argued, the live stream administrator took direct action and muted Zhan Xi. The administrator privately sent a notification to Zhan Xi: [Advertising is prohibited in educational live streams!]

After the failed attempt at advertising, Zhan Xi thought for a moment and directly changed his ID to a purchasing agent for small statues.

In the live stream video...

The little children were still earnestly writing their answers, and the most attention was given to the chubby child, whose identity had already been dug up by netizens.

[This chubby little kid who leads the group in paying respects to Confucius, isn’t he the child who was with His Highness Caesar? The royal family posted his video last time.]

[555, so cute! No wonder His Highness Caesar likes him so much!]

[Not only His Highness Caesar, but even His Majesty the Emperor also seems to like him. In the last video, he was holding and feeding him.]

[Oh my, how can I skip dating and directly have such an adorable child?]

[I don’t want smelly men... I’ll stick to being a painless mom.]

The kindergarten exams were intense, with two exams in the morning and two more in the afternoon. After finishing the exams today, they would have practical classes like Mecha tomorrow.

After the first exam, Principal Hardy initially intended to end the live stream. However, when he interrupted it briefly, numerous people protested.

[Bring the chubby kid back! We want to continue watching the child!]

[I want to watch the children’s exams, Principal Hardy. You promised to live stream the whole thing. Don’t go back on your word!]

Amidst numerous protests, Principal Hardy could only put on a stern face and resume the live stream. The adults watching were fortunate enough to witness a scene that satisfied their hearts.

The group of children from the Green Grass class bowed to Confucius every time they finished an exam, showing their utmost sincerity.

Throughout the day, the little children kept knocking their heads while studying, and the online viewers found it amusing.

Due to the exams, the little children had lunch at school. The cafeteria food was delicious, so they saw the children who stayed at school holding their bowls, and the cafeteria staff had to refill their meals several times.

When the entire day of exams finally ended in the evening, their teachers led the children to the school gate, waiting for their parents to pick them up.

The chubby child, carrying his school bag, held Teacher Lily’s hand and stood at the gate, anxiously looking out.

“Teacher, why hasn’t dad come yet?”

Other children from different classes had already been picked up, but their entire Green Grass class was still waiting in place, expecting their parents to arrive.

Teacher Lily comforted them with a dry cough. “They’ll be here soon. Let’s wait a little longer.”

As expected, when the other children from different classes were gradually picked up, and most of the crowd dispersed from the school gate, a group of masked adults hurriedly arrived to pick up their little children.

They picked up their children and left immediately, without even stopping for a second.

Teacher Lily, watching the parents acting like thieves, let out a soft sigh.

Oh dear, it’s not just the parents feeling embarrassed; even she, as the class teacher, couldn’t lift her head high anymore.

“Daddy, why are you so late today?”

The child who was put on a tricycle was still talking to his father. “I missed you so much, Daddy.”

Such sweet words. If it were another time, Zhan Xi would have been overwhelmed with fatherly love, feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

However, at the moment, all Zhan Xi wanted was to hurry back home.

As Zhan Xi hurriedly brought his child home, Huo Lin, who finished his class, finally managed to access the Star Network and watched the live replay.

In fact, he didn’t need to specifically look for the replay; edited videos were all over the Star Network.

Huo Lin watched the video, and his handsome little face lit up with astonishment. He stared at the child, who was bowing, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

“Father.”

Finding Huo Lin looking doubtful, Ludwig looked up and asked, “Did you see Ningning?”

Huo Lin hesitated for a moment and replied, “Yes, I saw him.”

Ludwig was holding some documents and said calmly, “Ningning has become popular now. The topic of kindergarten live streaming is trending.”

After a few seconds of silence, Huo Lin asked, “Does Ningning know about the live streaming?”

“Of course not,” Ludwig replied. “Kindergartens have live streamed exams every year, but previously, the audience was mostly the children’s parents. This time, there are more viewers.”

“By the way, the live streaming will continue until after tomorrow’s exams. I suggest you don’t tell Ningning too much at this time. Otherwise, if he gets upset today, it might affect his performance in tomorrow’s exams.”

Ludwig’s timely advice convinced Huo Lin not to remind the little child.

Father was right. If the little child knew he had embarrassed himself today, he might be reluctant to go to school tomorrow.

After contemplating for a while, Huo Lin decided to wait until after the child finished his exams before consoling him properly.

What Ludwig could consider, Zhan Xi could naturally consider as well. Though he didn’t explicitly remind his superstitious child, he spent about half an hour indirectly teaching him about anti-feudal superstitions.

At the dinner table, the words Zhan Xi said went in one ear and out the other for the little child, who paid no attention to them.

After finishing the meal, he even puffed out his chest proudly and announced to his father, “Daddy, this time, I’ll get you a certificate!”

Zhan Xi’s face turned green.

The child, with his sturdy psychological endurance, even pulled his uncle after dinner and wanted to play with him.
