Chapter 1061 Biggest Fan

Jin Ling University.

The office at the end of the corridor, inside the mathematics building.

A petite girl with a ponytail was carrying a stack of textbooks. She struggled as she opened the door and walked into the office.

Han Mengqi walked to a desk with a stack of books and placed them next to a mountain of books.

She took two steps back and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Han Mengqi looked at the mountain of books and couldn’t help but feel proud of herself.

She had no idea she was this strong.

There was a knock at the door, followed by a student walking in.

“Um… where is Professor Lu?”

Han Mengqi was slightly shocked by the sudden entry.

This person was none other than the full marks IMO gold medalist that applied to Jin Ling University a while ago.

When the news first broke out, it caused quite a bit of discussion on the Jin University campus. The school newspaper even interviewed the student and asked him why he didn’t go to Shuimu or Yan University.

His answer was quite interesting.

The answer was—

Because Professor Lu is here!

Han Mengqi didn’t want this nobody to take Professor Lu away from her, so she spoke in a curt manner.

“Professor is not here, he’s in Shanghai.”

Li Mo said, “In Shanghai? For a business trip? When is he coming back?”

“Three days at the latest, two days at the earliest. This is what he told me. If you have any questions you can ask me, or you can email the professor, but he usually takes a long time to reply.”

Li Mo looked a little disappointed. He scratched his head and spoke.

“Thanks, um… I’ll send an email then.”

Han Mengqi nodded and didn’t say anything.

In fact, she wasn’t a fan of teaching things to other people.

Not to mention that this guy was too enthusiastic. For the first few days he came here, he kept calling Lu Zhou teacher and master. Then Lu Zhou reprimanded him a little, telling him to stop, but she still felt unsure about this guy.

After all, she was the first one to call Lu Zhou teacher.

She felt like her identity was being stolen by this little brat, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became!

Li Mo, on the other hand, only sighed, oblivious to Han Mengqi’s thoughts.

Since Professor Lu wasn’t in the office, there was no reason for him to stay here.

He was about to leave, but he suddenly noticed the mountain of books stacked on the table.

He curiously walked forward and read the titles.

He was stunned.

“Unity3D Platform AR and VR Development Quick Start, Neural Network Design (Second Edition), Adaptive Computing and Machine Learning, Bioinformatics… Mengqi, are you changing your major?”

Han Mengqi: “Those books aren’t mine.”

Li Mo said, “… Then whose?”

Han Mengqi: “The professor wanted them.”

Li Mo wasn’t shocked, but he was still a little surprised.

He picked up a book and flipped through it. Even though he understood every word, he didn’t know what the sentences meant. He put the book back into the pile and sighed.

“Our professor is an expert in so many fields… Physics, mathematics, aerospace, batteries, materials, and that carbon-based chip… Do you think there’s anything Professor Lu can’t do?”

Han Mengqi paused for a second and spoke in an uncertain tone.

“Some things, like computer science…”

Li Mo said, “But I heard that the university subject selection software and the timetabling app were designed by him.”

“Yeah, but his programming abilities are lacking compared to real computer scientists,” Han Mengqi said. “Oh yeah, he’s not that good at biology, right? There are lots of things he’s not good at. Speaking of which, how do you know so much about him?”

Li Mo smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

“Haha, because he’s my idol.”

As one of Lu Zhou’s biggest fans, Li Mo couldn’t remember what he had for breakfast, but he could remember everything about Lu Zhou.

His classmates and roommates thought this was weird because they didn’t understand his passion for mathematics.

Li Mo looked at the stacks of books and spoke with emotion.

“But look at all these books… How long is this going to take him?”

“Don’t know…” Han Mengqi shook her head and said, “… This is probably his extracurricular reading for the year.”

While the two were talking, the office door suddenly opened. When the two saw the person appear at the door, they both looked surprised.

“Professor?”

“You’re already back?”

“Yeah, I got off the train an hour ago.” Lu Zhou looked at Han Mengqi and asked, “Where are the books?”

Han Mengqi smirked and pointed at the desk. “They’re all here, I borrowed all of the books on the list from the library.”

Lu Zhou looked at the mountain of books and paused for a second. He didn’t expect to see this many books.

When Lu Zhou thought about the fact that he had asked a female to help him carry these books, he looked a little guilty as he spoke.

“That’s more than I expected… Thank you.”

“Haha, no worries…”

Han Mengqi twirled her finger around her hair as she smiled.

Lu Zhou couldn’t help but notice the similarity between her and Chen Yushan.

“I’ll return these books myself so that I can thank the librarian in person.”

Lu Zhou nodded toward Wang Peng, who started to load the books into a cardboard box he found in the office.

Li Mo was about to leave the office, but he remembered why he came here in the first place. He stepped forward and quickly spoke.

“Wait a second… Professor, I have a question I want to ask you.”

“Send it to my email.”

Wang Peng picked up the cardboard box as Lu Zhou said, “… But try to send it by tonight, I’m busy next week.”

…

This might not be his extracurricular reading for the entire year, but it was definitely quite a lot.

There were 37 textbooks, as well as 127 papers retrieved by Xiao Ai.

After screening through the papers, there were only 87 papers left, but it was still a huge amount of content.

In fact, this was not an easy task, even for Lu Zhou. Studying a new discipline was akin to building a tower; if the foundation was rusty, it was almost impossible to keep building higher.

However, Lu Zhou’s goal wasn’t to become a master of neural network algorithms and biological networks.

The system’s general points calculation had two inputs; one was his knowledge, while the other was his discipline level.

The two other key elements, practical experience and scientific intuition, played a role in actual research, but they weren’t included in the system calculations.

Therefore, he only had to put the knowledge in his head and have a rough understanding of how to use the knowledge.

Xiao Ai: [Master, do you need Xiao Ai to scan the textbooks?]

Lu Zhou flipped through a book and said, “No need, I like to feel the paper in my hands.”

Even though reading on the computer was more convenient, reading a physical book was easier on the eyes. Lu Zhou was an old-fashioned man.

Xiao Ai: [But reading electronic files is more efficient?]

Lu Zhou: “It is, but humans are not logical species, sometimes we are pursuing things outside of efficiency.”

Xiao Ai: [Like what?]

Lu Zhou thought for a second and said, “It’s something like satisfaction.”

Xiao Ai: [Satisfaction? What is that? ᕙ(⇀‸↼‵‵)]

“Yeah, it’s similar to what makes you happy, whether it’s the environment around you or your mental state… This is getting a bit philosophical, so let’s stop here.”

Xiao Ai: [Oh, but Xiao Ai wants to know more.]

Lu Zhou looked at the laptop camera and asked, “Why?”

Xiao Ai: [So Xiao Ai can satisfy Master.]

Lu Zhou: “…”

Lu Zhou decided to ignore the artificial retardation.

He took out a silver medicine bottle from the system space and took out a pill. He grabbed a glass of water and swallowed the pill.

After ten minutes, he felt a warm sensation in his spine that gradually expanded all over his body before finally converging in his brain.

Lu Zhou closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, all of his brain fog was gone, and he felt more concentrated than ever.

When he opened the textbook, the complicated concepts became palatable, and he started to digest the content instantly.

Lu Zhou couldn’t help but feel excited.

This is the beginning of a new journey!
