Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 505: Chapter 301: The Most Important Thing is Returning to Normal

That morning, Zhao Yi didn’t go to class.

This was initially a small matter.

Teacher Zou, who was in charge of the chemistry course, didn’t care and even felt quite relaxed. He thought to himself, "It would be nice if Zhao Yi skipped class every day."

"Although he hasn’t achieved much in chemistry, being his teacher puts a lot of pressure on me."

Chemistry teacher Zou Guangyuan, a 28-year-old returnee with a Ph.D., was still very young. Since his Alma Mater was just an average one worldwide, his background seemed ordinary, and it was quite good for him to find a job as a university teacher.

Every time he had to teach a class for the biology major, Zou Guangyuan felt quite pressured because the ’super student’ was sitting in the front. He didn’t care much about comparing research results, but he did care about his authority as a teacher and hoped to manage the students who attended his class.

Obviously,

Zhao Yi wasn’t one of those ’manageable’ students.

That’s where the pressure came from.

Upon returning to his office with a relaxed mindset, Zou Guangyuan saw Director Li coming over and asking, "How did Zhao Yi perform in class today?"

"Zhao Yi? He didn’t attend."

Zou Guangyuan spoke gleefully, "I really wish he wouldn’t come to my class every time. Director Li, you have no idea, the pressure of teaching Zhao Yi is..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Director Li interrupted him.

"What? Zhao Yi didn’t attend class?" Director Li walked to the side anxiously, picked up the landline and made a phone call, saying, "Hello, Professor Zhou? It’s Xiao Li, Zhao Yi didn’t attend class today."

"Yes, yes, I don’t know either, why he’s been skipping classes two days in a row..."

"I’m worried too! Zhao Yi is a professor at the School of Sciences, and he’s our student at the College of Life Sciences!"

"Alright, absolutely."

Director Li hung up the phone.

Zou Guangyuan approached Director Li curiously, "Director Li, what’s going on?"

Director Li turned around and explained worriedly, "You don’t know, but many people are concerned about Zhao Yi right now. Especially those professors in the School of Sciences. They think Zhao Yi isn’t focusing on his studies lately, staying up late playing games, not taking research seriously..."

"Take research seriously? What else can he research? Goldbach Conjecture has already been proven." Zou Guangyuan said matter-of-factly.

"... That’s true."

Director Li suddenly found himself lost for words.

Goldbach Conjecture has been proven. What research do they want Zhao Yi to do? Riemann Conjecture or some other conjecture? freeωebnovēl.c૦m

He pondered and said, "I heard Zhao Yi is doing research in physics."

"Physics research?"

Zou Guangyuan thought for a moment, "Although I don’t understand physics research, I think physics research should be done at those large experimental bases, right? Our school doesn’t have the proper environment for that... "

"... That’s true!"

Director Li realized that Zou Guangyuan’s analysis made sense. What kind of physics research can be done in school? Research should happen at astronomical bases, or particle colliders, not inside the campus.

In the end, he complained, "Those people in the School of Sciences are never satisfied. Zhao Yi’s accomplishment is already very high. What more do they want? He’s only 20 years old!"

"Exactly!"

The two sighed and shook their heads together, not knowing whether they lamented Zhao Yi’s high achievements or the fact that he was being forced to do research.

...

Indeed, the professors of the School of Sciences were genuinely concerned about Zhao Yi. It started with Gao Yihua saying that Zhao Yi was doing research in physics, but his actions seemed to be heading towards degeneration rather than research.

"Skipping classes after staying up all night playing games during the National Day holiday?"

"Did he oversleep in his dorm after playing games too late?"

"Isn’t this wasting his talents?"

"Zhao Yi can’t be like this. He’s not just our school’s treasure, but also the treasure of our country!"

Zhou Li, Gao Yihua and several other professors contacted the professors of the School of Information and the School of Life Sciences. Qian Zhijin and Wei Shiqing soon arrived, and they discussed the matter. But without any concrete results, they couldn’t march to Zhao Yi’s door and say something directly.

If it were any ordinary genius, it might have been possible, but both Zhou Li and Qian Zhijin knew that Zhao Yi was very mature and not easily swayed. Going straight to his door might cause a strong aversion.

The group of people simply decided to investigate, so they headed straight for the students’ dormitory.

In the dorm, Fan Lei was playing games; Li Renzhe was texting while playing games; Meng Zheng was reading a sports magazine.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door knocked.

"Old Meng, open the door!" Fan Lei turned around and shouted.

Meng Zheng flatly refused, "No, don’t feel like it."

Li Renzhe had just lit up a cigarette and said coolly, "I’ll go." He walked to the door and opened it.

Meng Zheng didn’t forget to yell, "Go smoke on the balcony!"

"Mind your own business!"

Li Renzhe cursed while opening the door, only to see several professors standing outside. The atmosphere became instantly awkward.

The cigarette, still burning.

With a dark expression on his face, the dormitory director leading the group reached out his hand.

Understanding the implication, Li Renzhe immediately butted out the cigarette in the dormitory director’s palm and it went out after a few seconds.

"Ah~~ Hiss~~"

The dormitory director sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain, staring angrily at Li Renzhe while rubbing his hand on the spot, as others watched dumbfounded.
