Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 114: Chapter 108 Telescope

It’s a bit chilly outside.

Zhao Yi and Uncle Wang squatted under a tree for ten minutes. Unable to endure the pressure of witnessing public displays of affection any longer, they decided to return. The good news was that when they saw Zhao Yi return to the car, they noticed that there was no more "dog food" being sprinkled around.

Niu Lianhua briskly took the front seat.

They asked about Zhao Yi’s exam. Zhao Yi casually explained a few things, leading Niu Lianhua and Xue Pinggui to believe that he finished all "the problems he could solve".

Niu Lianhua could not help but express regret, "It’s a pity to leave so early. Even if there are problems you can’t solve, you should spend time thinking about them. You can get more points in the Math Olympiad to increase the chances of winning a prize."

"I’ve completed all of it," replied Zhao Yi.

Niu Lianhua just shook her head at his words. freewebnovёl.ƈom

She’d heard about how hard the Math Olympiad could be, even though she hadn’t participated in it herself. There was a reason the second round was allocated 150 minutes. But since Zhao Yi already left, there was no point discussing it further.

"It seems we can only rely on Sun Liang now."

Niu Lianhua thought to herself.

Xue Pinggui, however, was not bothered.

It would be a bit miraculous for a student from 13th Middle School to win a prize in the Math Olympiad. There’s really nothing serious about students not doing the exam well, since winning a prize is unlikely anyway.

He just hoped that he could return home quickly.

Being alone with Niu Lianhua wasn’t much of an issue. But with others around, it felt awkward, as if everyone was watching him, witnessing their situation.

Perhaps this was a matter of face.

He felt embarrassed to be dating Niu Lianhua.

After waiting for over an hour, Sun Liang finally returned to the car with a group of people.

"How did the exam go?"

Sun Liang responded, "I managed to solve three problems. But I didn’t complete the one before the last."

Niu Lianhua’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard this.

Zhao Yi also looked at Sun Liang in surprise. He had used the "Causality Law" and "Connection Law" to solve the problems, too. But he knew how difficult the questions could be, usually someone could only solve one or two.

Three?

What a genius!

"Is this also a butterfly effect?"

Zhao Yi contemplated.

If his memory served him right, Sun Liang should have participated in the provincial Mathematical Olympiad. However, he only managed to get a second or third prize, certainly not a first prize.

If Sun Liang really did solve three problems, given his previous performance, it won’t be difficult for him to score over two hundred points. That would virtually guarantee a first prize.

"Could it be because I constantly asked Sun Liang to seek Teacher Niu’s advice on Math Olympiad questions, that enhanced his interest and increased the number of Math Olympiad problems he solved." Zhao Yi drew this conclusion and patted Sun Liang on his shoulder with an approving expression.

Sun Liang looked at Zhao, baffled, and questioned him in reply, " Zhao Yi, how about you? How did your exam go?"

Zhao Yi laughed lightly, "One more than you!"

"Stop bragging!"

Sun Liang was dismissive.

Niu Lianhua added, "Zhao Yi handed in his papers more than an hour ago." She didn’t say anything further. Handing in the paper early usually meant giving up.

Sun Liang instantly burst into laughter.

Zhao Yi didn’t bother explaining either, let the misunderstanding be a misunderstanding. It wasn’t a big deal not getting a prize in the Math Olympiad test.

The car started moving.

They began their return journey to Zhengyang.

On the road.

Niu Lianhua seemed ’more enthusiastic’ than when they came; she frequently glanced at Xue Pinggui. She seemed to be wearing a ’we’re-in-love’ faux expression.

Sun Liang could see that.

He muttered to Zhao Yi, "Something’s definitely going on between Teacher Niu and Teacher Xue. I think they’re actually together."

"Looking at the way Teacher Niu’s staring at him, I’m a little scared!"

Such rumors really tired Zhao Yi. He sighed and flatly said, "No need to guess or feel it out anymore."

"What?"

"I’m very sure. You haven’t seen what I saw. I really fear my eyes may have suffered irreversible damage..."

"What happened?"

Zhao Yi leaned in closer and whispered, "When I came back, I happened to see... this... and this... and this..."

Xue Pinggui who saw Zhao Yi and Sun Liang murmuring, and the look Sun Liang threw at him, sensed something was off. He quickly interrupted, "What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Sun Liang shook his head, "Just discussing some stuff about the exam." frёeωebɳovel.com

"Why are you staring at me?"

Sun Liang said, "I was telling Zhao Yi, Teacher Xue, you really are a dedicated teacher. Even though you teach Chemistry, you actually came to our Math Olympiad exam."

"Yes, indeed! You’re so dedicated!"

Zhao Yi chimed in.

Xue Pinggui was immediately flattered. He was even more relieved when both Zhao Yi and Sun Liang failed to notice anything between him and Niu Lianhua...

Cough cough.

It was a non-issue!

"Students really are simple. If this were a teacher, they would have sensed something wrong." Xue Pinggui glanced fearfully back at Niu Lianhua before giving her a fierce stare, gesturing towards Zhao Yi and Sun Liang with his chin.

Niu Lianhua quickly straightened up and sat properly.

At the same time.

Sun Liang picked up his phone and sent a message, "We’re on our way back. Now, I’m pretty sure that Teacher Niu and Teacher Xue are actually together."

In the elite class of the 13th middle school.

During the break.

Zhao Linlin and Li Juan were chatting when Zhao Linlin saw the message on her phone and froze.

"Whose message?"

Li Juan turned to look at the phone and couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise, "Could Monkey’s words be true? Are Teacher Niu and Teacher Xue really together?"

"Keep your voice down!"

Zhao Linlin covered Li Juan’s mouth immediately.

Too late.

Several people around heard it and immediately began whispering in surprise--

"Teacher Niu and Teacher Xue are together?"

"Is it real or not?"

"Teacher Niu and Teacher Xue are together?"

Less than a minute later, exclamations could be heard throughout the hallway, "Did you know? Big news! Teacher Niu and Teacher Xue are together!"

The news quickly spread to the office.

A group of teachers began to discuss, "Teacher Niu and Teacher Xue are together? I heard it from the students!"

"It must be true!"

"Having them go on a business trip together is just right! It instantly solves the school’s two biggest singleton problems!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Li Lisheng, who had heard the gossip and walked in, sighed and said with awe, "Teacher Xue, really, it’s hard for him..."

...

Zhao Yi took a nap.

He opened his eyes.

The car was driving on a highway between mountains. After passing through a tunnel, the view became wide open, and the distant scenery could be seen from the window.

Green mountains, blue water.

White clouds, blue sky.

Zhao Yi instantly became invigorated. He enjoyed the scenery through the window, thinking how the nature is so beautiful.

[Appreciate the charm of natural scenery (Unique), Study Coin +100.]

[Appreciate the charm of natural scenery (Unique), Research Coin +2.]

"What?"

"Is this possible?"

Zhao Yi was stunned.

It was the first time he had received a similar message about Study Coin and Research Coin.

Viewing scenery?

Earns Study Coins and Research Coins?

"Unique, does it mean it only happens once?"

Zhao Yi thought of online games. In some online games, system gives some experience points when exploring new maps.

This probably works in the same way.

One hundred Study Coins may seem a lot, but if it only happens once, it’s not much. However, getting two Research Coins this easily is rare.

"If I can get a hundred Study Coins and two Research Coins from enjoying the natural scenery, can I get something from other things?"

"For example, looking at the sea?"

"For example, looking at the stars... the universe?"

Zhao Yi suddenly thought of possibilities to earn more Study Coins and Research Coins. He realized it still depends on luck, and there are no system prompts, everything is unknown. But looking at the sea and the stars can be tested to see if they work.

"That’s it!"

"Go to see the sea during the holiday, perhaps I could get more coins. Star... Maybe I should buy a telescope?"

He began to think.

...

By the time he returned to Zhengyang, it was already past eight in the evening.

Zhao Yi returned home.

After attending morning and afternoon examinations and sitting in a car for nearly four hours, he felt a little weary. However, after a nap in the car, his spirits were still good.

After quickly having dinner, Zhao Yi read a chemistry book for a while, then simply turned on the computer.

Do some algorithm tasks for Zhang Zhen!

Part-time job!

A break!

He occasionally did algorithm tasks whenever he had time. There were only three tasks left to do, so he resolved to finish them all at once. After completing the tasks, he sent them to Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen responded with a message, "Zhao Yi, you are a godlike coder! Your efficiency level is so high, you’d earn so much more than me if you made this your part-time job!"

He was amazed.

A top-tier algorithm engineer would need a whole day to complete a similar algorithm task, more difficult ones would take two to three days.

This was already considered highly efficient.

Zhang Zhen: "You’re not spending all your spare time doing this, are you?"

Zhao Yi replied without explaining, "I just want the robot from your company! Brother Zhang, is it almost ready? When are you going to deliver it to me?"

Zhang Zhen: "That’s easy, I will send it tomorrow!"

Zhao Yi was looking forward to it. He suddenly remembered wanting to buy a telescope, so he added, "Do you know where I can buy a good quality telescope?"

Zhang Zhen: "Are you buying one? We have a partner factory that manufactures astronomical telescopes."

Zhao Yi immediately replied, "Can you help me buy one? Get the one with high precision. Let me know the price when it’s time."

Zhang Zhen: "Sure, I’ll ask them. You don’t need to worry about the price. Their most expensive model is only about twenty or thirty thousand. Tomorrow I’ll check on it for you. They can be sent to you along with the robot, all delivered directly to your place."

"By the way, here are a few more tasks, Big Ghost... can you help with these too?"

Zhao Yi replied without hesitation: "Send them over!"

Great collaboration!
