Free Web NovelChapter 171: Chapter 153: The Third Ability "Supervision Law"_2
Xu Chao’s ability was by no means worse than those who had studied abroad, but domestic doctorates had a later start and seemed to lag behind foreign ones in terms of academic qualifications. As a lecturer in a university, he was at the bottom of the hierarchy, and he could only be a postdoctoral fellow in the lab, a transient employee.
Going out to start a business was an excellent choice, especially with a genius like Zhao Yi, who could independently research new algorithms in high school and had developed core technology.
So, what now?
Luo Zhijin found himself at a loss, unable to honestly say that staying would be better.
In the end, he could only say painfully, "Think about it some more. If you really want to leave, I wish you smooth sailing and a bright future."
Luo Zhijin’s heart ached!
The only "capable" person under his wing was leaving... Zhao Yi?
Yes!
Zhao Yi!
"This damn kid, he hasn’t even come to Yanhua University yet, and he’s already poaching my right-hand man!" Luo Zhijin picked up his phone, furious, and dialed it directly, intending to curse at him.
The call went through.
Zhao Yi spoke in confusion, "Professor Luo, it’s so late..."
"Zhao Yi!"
Luo Zhijin took a deep breath and suddenly calmed down. He thought that Xu Chao’s departure was certain. If he offended Zhao Yi again and made him refuse to choose Yanhua University, wouldn’t he lose both his wife and his soldiers?
No, he couldn’t be impulsive!
Luo Zhijin quickly changed his tone, "I sent you some New Year’s gifts, did you receive them?"
"Yes, thank you, Professor Luo."
"You’re welcome! You’re welcome! It’s all from the school, and I sent you a share when I remembered. It’s good that you received it—it’s so much better than before."
Luo Zhijin rambled on and on before finally hanging up.
Zhao Yi felt baffled.
Hadn’t they already discussed this in the Penguin Number chat? He had even sent a special message of thanks, which Professor Luo had replied to.
What was going on?
Was it because he was getting old and his memory was failing?
He quickly opened the Penguin Number and sent a message to Luo Zhijin, "Professor Luo, you must take care of your health. I’ve heard that Brain Platinum is good for old age. I’ll have Xu Chao bring some for you."
Then he called Xu Chao, "Brother Chao, remember to help me send a few boxes of Brain Platinum to Professor Luo tomorrow. Just say it’s from Zhengyang. I’ll transfer the money to you directly." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"No problem!"
...
The third semester of senior year began.
Zhao Yi’s life didn’t change much; he still went to school every day, studied diligently, and continued to enjoy his high school life.
He had clear learning goals.
He mainly studied Chinese, biology, and chemistry, as there were no issues with other subjects. He often read other books, with college math being his main focus.
Zhao Yi was researching number theory.
Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics mainly studying the properties of integers.
Researching number theory requires many methods, each of which involve other branches of mathematics. So studying number theory alone is insufficient; one must also learn other mathematical content.
The scope was vast.
Zhao Yi wasn’t in a hurry to understand everything; he started with higher mathematics and linear algebra, as mathematics is the foundation for all disciplines and should be thoroughly understood.
His studies attracted Sun Liang’s attention.
Since the start of senior year, Sun Liang had been the least enthusiastic student. His winter camp results hadn’t come in yet, and he was extremely anxious. He borrowed Zhao Yi’s textbook to learn college math.
"You can study English!"
Zhao Yi suggested, "Your English grades are poor, so it won’t hurt to study more."
Sun Liang obediently studied English, but his persistence was clearly no match for math. Even though college math knowledge wasn’t helpful for the College Entrance Examination and might even have a negative impact, he still enjoyed it.
On the tenth day of the lunar new year, Sun Liang received news that completely transformed him.
Winter camp results for the Mathematical Olympiad were announced, and Sun Liang came in 59th place—just barely making the "upgrade" cutoff.
"Fifty-ninth! Fifty-ninth!"
"I made it into the top sixty!"
"Hahahaha..."
When Sun Liang heard the news, he excitedly pounded on the table; tears were squeezed out of his eyes. Those who didn’t understand were bewildered, but they quickly caught on.
Placing in the top sixty not only meant advancing in the competition, but also earning a first-class national Olympiad award. This qualified him as a recommended student for Shuimu and Capital University, which would compete to admit him. Recommended students don’t need to take the College Entrance Examination, but in Nanjiang Province, they can participate—if they don’t score well enough, they won’t be admitted uniformly.
Of course, the meaning is the same.
Not only Sun Liang himself was excited about his Mathematical Olympiad result, but also the teachers and the principal of the school were excited.
Principal Wang Chengmin immediately had a banner made, which read, "Congratulations to our student Sun Liang for winning the first prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad!"
Very soon.
The admissions office teachers from Shuimu and Capital University came again, fighting to recruit Sun Liang.
That day, Sun Liang reached the peak of his life.
Unlike Zhao Yi, Sun Liang quickly chose Capital University, explaining to others, "Capital University is founded on science, I want to study mathematics there!"
His explanation to Zhao Yi was, "Shuimu is a school of engineering, I think the proportion of female students in Capital University is higher."
Is that so?
Zhao Yi was really surprised, he hadn’t really looked into that, suddenly having a higher opinion of Sun Liang’s IQ.
This reason works!
Zhao Yi gave Sun Liang a thumbs up, then turned back to continue studying, leaving Sun Liang feeling very depressed.
"I got a recommendation!"
"I signed a contract with Capital University!"
"Aren’t you going to say anything?"
Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I know."
"Just like that?"
"Yes." Zhao Yi said, "You said you’d treat us, don’t forget, I know the school gave you a 5000 yuan bonus."
"I know."
Sun Liang suddenly felt very depressed, expecting praise, astonishment, or surprise from his sudden life peak, but getting nothing from Zhao Yi. freёweɓnovel.com
He realized that talking to Zhao Yi was a mistake. Zhao Yi could go to any school he wanted, right? How come he couldn’t find the right person.
Zhao Yi had no time to care about Sun Liang.
After school in the afternoon.
Senior high school students don’t need to attend evening self-study, but when they went home, it was already dark.
Zhao Yi rode home with Lin Xiaoqing together and suddenly stopped her at the entrance of the building.
"Wait a minute!"
"What’s wrong?" Lin Xiaoqing frowned and turned her head.
Zhao Yi pulled Lin Xiaoqing to the corner, and then suddenly attacked, gently kissing her earlobe like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Lin Xiaoqing immediately raised her hand to stop him, "What are you doing!"
"Xiaoqing, I wanted to give you a... farewell kiss," Zhao Yi said with deep affection.
"No way! Don’t even think about it!" Lin Xiaoqing directly refused, and then whispered, "We are still in our senior year, you may not be worried, but I still have to take the College Entrance Examination, my mom always said, don’t think about anything else before the exam. If I get into the college, I’m sure my parents will not object, but now..."
Seeing Zhao Yi’s sad expression, she felt a little moved. Suddenly, she stopped talking, closed her eyes with a blush, and tensed up.
Zhao Yi received the system prompt.
[Flirting, target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin +3.]
[Study Coins: 6001.]
[Special reminder: With more than 6000 Study Coins, you can activate and gain new abilities.]
[Do you want to activate?]
Zhao Yi was also tense. He was too excited to pay attention to Lin Xiaoqing’s reaction. His whole mind was on the system, and he quickly said, "Fine, fine, Xiaoqing, let’s talk about it next time, I’ll go home first."
After that, he turned and ran home.
Lin Xiaoqing opened her eyes in a daze, and it took her a long time to react. She took a deep breath, her face turned from red to green, the veins on her arm bulging, and she looked left and right and kicked the wall.
"Bastard Zhao Yi!"
"Bastard, really pissed me off!"
"Ahhhhh~~~"
...
At the same time.
Zhao Yi couldn’t help but activate it while running on the road, and immediately received the system prompt-
[Activate new ability!]
[Study Coin -6000.]
[You have gained a new ability, Supervision Law!]
[Supervision Law: You can grasp the flaws and omissions in the process of causality by relying on the correlation of causality.]
