Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 855: Chapter 448: Graduate Entrance Exam, Let’s Struggle Together!_3

Zhao Yi had never signed a teaching contract with the College of Life Sciences. His ’professorship’ was affiliated with the School of Sciences, and theoretically, he couldn’t supervise graduate students from the College of Life Sciences. However, he had ’privileges’; once he decided to become a graduate advisor, all the school’s internal rules were no longer a problem.

"No way!"

"I can’t be an advisor!"

"Students, how do I teach them? Take them to do experiments? Or teach them something... I’m not good at it!"

In fact, Zhao Yi was somewhat interested in becoming an advisor. Supervising a few students would be like cultivating talents, which also meant getting a few helpers. But he was truly not good at training students, because even he was not very adept at conducting experiments. The results he achieved were due to his system abilities. Students would learn nothing from him. The only thing he could offer was a good research and development environment.

That was all.

If he looked at it from another angle, turning things upside down, and considered enrolling as a graduate student and finding a professor to guide him...

Zhao Yi thought about this and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Compared to being a graduate advisor, being a student was much easier; just learning to do experiments or research was no trouble at all for him. freёweɓnovel.com

Moreover, an important point was that studying as a graduate student could extend his college life, which he greatly regretted losing.

Once it’s gone, it’s gone!

The most precious and wonderful time of life couldn’t be reclaimed once it was lost. If there was a chance to extend it, why not take it?

"Right!"

"I’m going to apply for graduate school!"

"It doesn’t have to be the College of Life Sciences. I could apply to other colleges, other majors. Or maybe a new type of major?"

"Like, philosophy, psychology?"

"Or, economics, finance?"

"Or else..."

Once Zhao Yi gave it some thought, he couldn’t control his excitement. He felt that starting a new campus life was far more interesting than rigidly becoming some advisor or professor.

Young people should keep learning!

After deciding, Zhao Yi sent Lin Xiaoqing a message to find out what her plans were, "By the way, Xiaoqing, are you planning to pursue a master’s in law at Political and Legal University?"

"Yes?"

Lin Xiaoqing replied with a question.

Thinking it over, Zhao Yi responded, "Law? That’s kind of boring. How about this—I’ll go to Political and Legal University and study philosophy or economics. Then we’ll be students at the same school again."

"...You’re not joking, right?"

"I’m seriously considering it!"

Zhao Yi was not joking; he thought it was time to change his life and expand his thinking. Constantly doing research and development like a robot had locked him into a fixed mindset.

For example, when it came to compressor stability design.

Zhou Qing suggested an unusually creative idea, which he followed through to design a piston with perforated pathways for releasing gas.

Even though the designs were his, the inspiration came from Zhou Qing. He realized that in his research and development work, he hardly had any inspiration, and perhaps the reason was the limitation of his knowledge.

Many top mathematicians and physicists also hold doctoral degrees in law, philosophy, or economics; a big reason for this is that subjects like philosophy and economics help expand knowledge and offer wide thinking space.

After making up his mind, Zhao Yi went back to the dormitory to find Li Renzhe.

Li Renzhe opened his mouth wide in surprise when he heard Zhao Yi was preparing for graduate school, "You’re applying for grad school? What kind of grad school? Which professor would dare to take you? Are you joking?"

"I’m thinking of studying economics or philosophy."

"Economics, philosophy?"

After pondering for a bit, Li Renzhe said, "Economics or philosophy, these types of graduate programs, they don’t accept undergraduates from the College of Life Sciences, do they?"

"——??"

Zhao Yi paused for a moment, then decisively said, "That’s true! Forget it, I’ll just get a second undergraduate degree first! I’ll get a bachelor’s degree in economics and philosophy first!"

"Grad school! We’ll strive for it together!"
