"Dad, Mom! We're back!"
Luo Feng and Luo Xia greeted their parents as they entered the house. Luo Hongguo, their father, was watching TV on the sofa. Seeing his two sons, he smiled and said, "You're back. Are you hungry? Your mother has already started cooking, dinner will be ready soon."
Luo Xia tossed his backpack onto the sofa and grinned, "Not too hungry yet."
He turned to Luo Hua, who was engrossed in his book, and asked, "Second brother, what are you reading?"
Luo Hua turned a page, adjusted his glasses, and looked up at Luo Xia with a smile, "I'm reading a book by the investment master, Price."
"Tsk, I remember some of your ideas are similar to his theories, right?" Luo Xia asked with a smile.
Luo Hua nodded and continued reading, occasionally looking up to ask Luo Xia for advice.
Although Luo Hua was very talented in investment, Luo Xia was not far behind because of his high comprehension ability.
After all, the small building they lived in now was something he had invested in online.
The two brothers were quietly discussing investment theories and knowledge, while Luo Hongguo, who was watching from the side, was smiling with a full face, his mouth never dropping from its upward curve.
Luo Feng didn't understand what his two younger brothers were discussing, so he could only shrug his shoulders and sit to the side, taking out a history book from his schoolbag to start reviewing.
Not long after, a warm voice came from the kitchen—
"Dinner is ready!"
Luo Feng and his three brothers were about to stand up and go to the kitchen to bring the food, when their father, Luo Hongguo, stood up with a smile and said to them:
"You study! Study! I'll go get it!"
Saying this, he walked towards the kitchen.
Just then, his mother, Gong Xinlan, came out of the kitchen. Seeing Luo Hongguo, she gave him a look and said,
"It's time to eat! Why are you still studying? The three children have been studying all day at school, they should relax!"
She looked at Luo Xia and the others, calling out, "Sons, come and sit down quickly! Today, I made your favorite braised pork!"
"Alright!"
Luo Xia and the others responded and put down their books, walking towards the dining table.
At this time, the mother, Gong Xinlan, had already placed the dishes on the table. There were four dishes and a soup: braised pork, Kung Pao chicken, white radish stewed ribs, and stir-fried green vegetables.
While eating, they chatted about everyday life. Soon, they finished eating, and Luo Xia and his two brothers helped to clear the dishes.
Luo Hongguo sat on the sofa and called out to Luo Feng, "Eldest son, come here. Dad wants to talk to you about something."
Luo Feng walked over and sat down opposite Luo Hongguo, asking with some confusion, "Dad, what's up?"
Luo Hongguo smiled slightly and said, "It's like this, Xiaofeng. I haven't asked you about your plans after graduating from high school. Can you tell Dad now?"
Luo Feng thought for a moment and said:
"With my academic results, I believe I can get into Jiangnan No. 1 Military Academy through the college entrance examination. I've already obtained the Advanced Student title from the martial arts school. Once I get to Jiangnan No. 1 Military Academy, I'll be directly trained as an officer. Mom and Dad, you can also move directly into the military district's family housing."
Luo Xia, who was nearby, muttered to himself, Plans don't always go as expected, Big Brother. Your college entrance exam isn't going to go smoothly.
In the original story, Luo Feng suddenly awakened his mental strength during the college entrance exam and fainted in the examination hall, leading to his failure in the exam.
As a result, he didn't go to the military academy and eventually joined the Limit Martial Arts School established by Hong, Earth's number one expert, becoming a Martial Artist.
Luo Xia didn't plan to interfere, but he was a little worried. Because of his appearance, his older brother Luo Feng wasn't under the same immense pressure as in the original story. Would he still awaken his mental power successfully during the college entrance exam?
He wasn't quite sure…
Meanwhile, Luo Hongguo listened to Luo Feng's words and nodded. He said, "Good, good, good. Since you've already thought it through, I won't ask any more. But Xiao Feng, don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's okay even if you don't pass the exam. Our family's situation is already very good."
Luo Hua chimed in from the side, "Yeah, big brother, Luo Xia and I can earn money now. You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself."
Luo Feng glanced at Luo Hua and Luo Xia. These two youngsters had extraordinary talent in the financial field and had earned a lot of money through investments. Thanks to them, the family was able to move out of their low-rent housing.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I perform poorly on the college entrance exam and can't get into Jiangnan No. 1 Military Academy, I'll definitely be able to get into the second military academy."
Then, Luo Feng looked at his father, Luo Hongguo, and continued, "At the second military academy, with the title of Advanced Student from the Limit Martial Arts School, I'll also be trained as an officer. The treatment won't be too bad."
Being able to pass the undergraduate exam…
About two out of every ten people could do it.
But among high school students, only one in a thousand could earn the title of Advanced Student.
Therefore, Luo Feng wasn't too worried about his college entrance exam results.
To be honest, he wasn't under much pressure.
Luo Hongguo looked at Luo Feng with a sigh and said, "Xiao Feng, you've never caused your mother and me any worry since you were a child, so do whatever you want."
Then, he looked at Luo Xia and called out, "Xiao Xia, come sit here, I have something to ask you too."
Luo Xia sat down next to Luo Feng.
Luo Hongguo looked at him and asked, "You told me last time that you planned to take this college entrance exam with your elder brother. Are you confident?"
Luo Xia smiled and said, "Dad, you know, I finished learning all that high school stuff back in junior high. If I didn't need to keep a low profile, and if the martial arts school allowed students to start at 16, I would have taken the college entrance exam in my first year of high school."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hongguo's lips were practically splitting with a grin. He didn't doubt his third son's words at all.
Speaking of which, Luo Hongguo's genes are truly powerful. He has three sons:
His eldest son leans towards martial arts. He earned the title of Advanced Student at the Limit Martial Arts School while still in high school. He's sure to become a Martial Artist in the future!
His second son, although lacking the talent for martial arts, has incredibly high intelligence. He possesses extraordinary talent in the financial field. Even as a middle school student, he could go toe-to-toe with some financial tycoons.
The third son is both a scholar and a martial artist, developing in all aspects. Whether it's his talent in martial arts or other areas, he combines the strengths of his elder brothers and fully develops them, surpassing them. He is a freak of nature among the three sons!
"Since you're so confident, then go ahead and participate!"
Luo Hongguo said with a smile.
His mother, Gong Xinlan, asked worriedly, "By the way, Xia, does your teacher agree to you taking the college entrance exam?"
"Of course, they agree."
Luo Xia said with a smile.
In fact, because Luo Xia's comprehension was so high, his teacher had nothing left to teach him. They wholeheartedly supported his decision to take the college entrance exam ahead of schedule!
"That's good then." Gong Xinlan smiled and nodded, then asked, "Son, now that you've finished the college entrance exam, are you planning to apply to Jiangnan No. 1 Military Academy?"
"No."
Luo Xia shook his head. "After the exam, I plan to join the Limit Martial Arts School and become a Martial Artist."
He wouldn't be able to adapt to the military, where he'd have to obey strict discipline and rules. So, rather than joining the army, he preferred to be a Martial Artist.
At least the rules of the Limit Martial Arts School weren't as strict as the military's; they were more relaxed, which suited his personality.
Gong Xinlan and Luo Hongguo exchanged a look, then asked, "Son, aren't you planning to go to university?"
Luo Xia smiled, "Mom, going to university would just be a waste of time for me. I can learn what I need to on my own by reading books."
Luo Feng, who was standing nearby, said, "Dad, Mom, you both know how smart Xia is. A university degree isn't that useful for him. Just let him do what he wants to do."
"Alright, you three brothers always know what you're doing. Your mother and I can't help you much. Just make your own decisions."
Luo Hongguo said with a smile, ending the conversation.
