Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 234: Chapter 183 Are-you-kidding-me?_3

...

The academic conference was still going on.

Zhao Yi had been participating in the academic conference for two consecutive days and had listened to many academic reports, speeches, and so forth. He now had a fair understanding of the domestic state of artificial intelligence technology.

He planned to find some interesting research and development projects to ask about in detail to see if they could be applied to robotics.

Others were doing something similar.

Many individuals approached Zhao Yi to ask about robotics, some specifically came to exchange academic insights, discussing fuzzy algorithms, and some simply came to talk about mathematics, speculating about ’three-dimensional tremor waveforms’.

Zhao Yi welcomed all enquiries, explaining what he knew when asked, earning him quite a bit of goodwill.

In the end, he couldn’t escape Qian Zhijin’s ’harassment’ on the last day.

"Zhao Yi!"

Qian Zhijin asked with a bitter expression, "Now that the College Entrance Examination is over, you should have decided to come to Yanhua University, right?"

"Yeah."

Zhao Yi nodded affirmatively.

"The School of Information?"

Zhao Yi shook his head.

"The Mathematics Department?"

Zhao Yi shook his head.

Qian Zhijin took a deep breath, forcing a bitter smile. "Buddy, are you messing with me?"

"I will definitely go to Yanhua University, don’t worry. We need to be trustworthy. I will test into it through the regular College Entrance Examination."

"That... is not good!"

Qian Zhijin was not at all reassured, he sighed, and suddenly became concerned about the test takers in Nanjiang, "Zhao Yi, you should know how difficult the College Entrance Examination is, right?"

"Difficult?"

Zhao Yi thought about his own exam experience and nodded symbolically.

Qian Zhijin said very seriously, "Every university, every major, has a fixed number of enrollment slots for each province. If you take up one, there is one less slot available."

"If you get into Yanhua University by the regular application process, some test taker from Nanjiang Province will miss out by one rank because of you and will have to be reassigned to another school, or even have to retake the examination."

"Do you understand?"

Zhao Yi thought along the lines of Qian Zhijin’s suggestion, feeling that there was some truth to it. If he did get into Yanhua University through the College Entrance Examination, then surely, there would be a student from Nanjiang whose application would fail and not get accepted.

Thinking from this perspective, it did seem a bit cruel!

By giving up applying via the College Entrance Examination, he could free up one more admission slot for others, which could be seen as a small contribution to his hometown, right?

For that College Entrance Examination taker, wouldn’t that be a life-changing event?

Zhao Yi was suddenly much more serious. He knew that Qian Zhijin was not simply being compassionate; he was just worried that he wouldn’t apply to Yanhua University. After some thought, Zhao Yi said frankly, "Alright, Old Qian, let me tell you."

"Old Qian..."

Qian Zhijin twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that his image in Zhao Yi’s eyes was plummeting for some reason.

"Here’s the thing."

Zhao Yi said, "Your biological science major is among the top five in the country, even higher than the math department’s ranking, right?"

"I plan to apply for the biological sciences major, to systematically learn about biotechnology..."

"Blah, blah, blah~"

Zhao Yi mentioned a lot about his future prospects.

Qian Zhijin didn’t listen to any of it. His mouth was agape, looking stunned as if he were hallucinating.

Biological Sciences?

Indeed.

The history of biological sciences as a major in the country is quite short. It branched out from the ’biology major’ in natural sciences, and some universities do not have this major at all.

Yanhua University’s School of Life Sciences was established quite early. The biological sciences major was initiated quite early. It boasts a state-level key laboratory and a provincial-level key laboratory. Both its education environment and faculty are pretty decent.

But... freeweɓnovel.cøm

You, a recognized genius in mathematics and computer science, are applying for the unrelated field of biological sciences?

"Are-you-kidding-me?"

Qian Zhijin couldn’t help but use English to convey his exaggerated facial expression.

Zhao Yi looked at Qian Zhijin from the left and right, and even circled around him. He promptly took out his cell phone, aimed at his face, and quickly took a picture, "Yes! Okay! Don’t move, Old Qian, don’t move a muscle. Just keep that expression."

"I’m recording this!"

"If anyone ever asks what ’stunned’ looks like in the future, I’ll just send them this picture. It’s very explanatory..."

"Pfft!"

Qian Hong and Zhu Li, who had rushed over from a distance, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Qian Zhijin immediately glared at them.
