Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 536: Chapter 318: Of course not! Absolutely not! I’m willing!

New semester, new atmosphere.

Students who have just returned to school are still discussing their winter vacations and Spring Festival topics, but they also have to face the campus life that is about to resume.

Course selection is an important task at the beginning of the semester.

Undergraduates must complete a fixed number of elective courses, averaging about three courses per semester; even the courses with many credits require at least two. Many students are discussing their course selections because there is an additional elective course this semester:

"Particle Boundary Theory Overview".

Last semester, Zhao Yi published "Particle Boundary Theory", which attracted worldwide media attention and a lot of domestic coverage. Many physicists called it a "founding theory".

Since Zhao Yi is at Yanhua University, almost all the students know about him.

Now there is a new course, "Particle Boundary Theory Overview", and the lecturer’s name is Zhao Yi, which naturally attracts the attention of students.

"It’s really Zhao Yi!"

"I heard from Professor Wu last year that Zhao Yi might teach a course this semester, and I didn’t expect it to be true!"

"I must choose Zhao Yi’s course. Such a god-like genius gives lectures, and people outside would desperately want to hear it!"

"Yes, yes!"

"It’s a public elective course, and students from any major can choose it!"

"I guess it won’t be easy to get into..."

"We must fight for it!"

Similar discussions are the most frequent at the School of Life Sciences and the School of Sciences.

Students from the Biology majors, being in the same field as Zhao Yi, often see him in the school and find it interesting to hear about him teaching a course. Some even came to ask if they could directly insert a quota, but Zhao Yi could only regretfully refuse because too many people came to "plug in the quota".

He had already agreed to his three roommates early on, so the others could only be turned down.

Most students in the School of Sciences genuinely want to learn something. Zhao Yi is recognized as the world’s top number theory master, and he has also made some achievements in theoretical physics research. "Particle Boundary Theory Overview" is a course in mathematical physics, and listening to it certainly won’t hurt.

Students from other schools are mainly joining in the fun.

Zhao Yi is a very special student in the school, and he is also a high-level professor. This is the first time he is giving a real lecture, and the buzz is huge.

Many students hold the mentality that "it’s definitely worth choosing; if we don’t choose, we will regret it," and plan to rush to choose the course when the course selection begins.

The course selection system will soon be open.

The school announced the opening time would be 10 a.m., and many students started staring at their computers at eight or nine o’clock, frequently refreshing the backend webpage. The school’s server is not very good and though it won’t crash under the pressure of many students, the internal network is still very laggy, and refreshing once is very difficult.

Finally, the time came to ten o’clock.

The school knew that students were anxious about course selection and opened the system promptly at 10 am. Many students refreshed the webpage at the same time, and most of them got stuck on the page. A small number of them managed to refresh the page and quickly found "Particle Boundary Theory Overview" and clicked "choose the course" behind it.

And then...

It got stuck again.

When it refreshed again, the system prompt appeared, "The course is full!"

"——!!"

The internal forum of Yanhua University was quickly overcrowded, and many students logged on to ask, "Has anyone selected ’Particle Boundary Theory Overview’?"

"If you’ve chosen it, give a squeak!"

"I have already clicked on the course, but it told me that it’s full."

"Too many people are grabbing it!"

Finally, someone replied, "I got it." They were a student from the College of Business.

The College of Business?

Choosing "Particle Boundary Theory Overview"?

Is this a joke?

Seeing the reply, the students who didn’t get the class immediately felt dissatisfied, "How can students from the College of Business even choose math and physics courses?"

"Do you understand it?" freewebnσvel.cøm

"Isn’t it a waste of quota? Isn’t it like playing the lute to a cow to teach a course by Professor Zhao to business students?"

Business school students immediately spoke up, and many of them fought back, "Don’t think the School of Sciences is that great; the math and physics we learn in the College of Business is not worse than yours."

"The level of the School of Sciences is not so amazing, even in math and physics, it might not catch up to the College of Business!"

"This is a public elective course, and any major can choose it. If you are slow, who can you blame?"

"People from the School of Sciences are slow? No wonder you’re all single!"

"It seems that the person upstairs has revealed some incredible information..."

The forum was in chaos.

"Particle Boundary Theory Overview" is a public elective course, and public elective courses are generally large classes with less content and a low degree of difficulty in understanding.

There are ten large classes with three credits, and 100 elective quota slots are opened.

One hundred quota slots may not seem like much, but with over two thousand students selecting the course, the probability of getting in is less than one in twenty, so very few people got in.

Students who didn’t get in were very dissatisfied, especially those who tried to grab a spot at the first moment. Some complained that math and physics courses should not be public elective courses, while others complained that there was a problem with the school’s network.

And so on.

But not getting in was just that - not getting in. There was no point in complaining about anything afterwards. Some students simply waited downstairs or went directly to Zhao Yi, hoping to get a course quota.

Zhao Yi replied regretfully, "There are only so many quotas; I can’t do anything about it. If you really want to listen, you can go to the classroom where the lecture is held."

The class will be held in a large classroom with no problem accommodating up to 200 people, so other students who want to listen can also attend. However, Zhao Yi estimated that not many people would come, as most students attend elective courses only for credit, not to enrich their knowledge. There are very few students who actually attend classes to learn.
