Chapter 10: I've Become a Celebrity?
When playing the game, An Yi often encounters situations where "newbies get high-level weapons but cannot equip them because their level is too low".
But in reality, this was the first time he had experienced this.
To be honest, although it doesn't feel very pleasant, there's nothing we can do about it from a factual perspective.
Because he really couldn't understand it!
Under this premise, sending out this outline would only lead to disastrous consequences.
Throughout history, swindlers have been active in many fields, but the mathematics community is arguably the only one that can be called a "swindler no-go zone."
Because mathematics relies almost entirely on pure logic, without depending on authority, prestige, experimental data, or personal integrity. Logic is 100% verifiable on the spot; there is no fabrication or chance involved, and the cost of verification is extremely low. While authors can change the names on papers and research findings, the true level of expertise is virtually impossible to fake.
If you don't know math, you just don't know it!
"To make this reward truly useful, you must raise the [Mathematical Thinking Ability] and [Mathematical Logic Ability] within the Mathematical Ability branch to a level of 5 or higher..."
With this in mind, An Yi chose to open the ability panel to check. With the current values of his two abilities, he only needed to multiply them by 10 to reach the standard!
As someone whose college entrance exam math score was only about ten points above passing, An Yi knew his task was very challenging.
But as I said before, as long as we can add some points, everything will be fine!
And for some reason, whether it was in advanced mathematics class before or in the library now, An Yi feels that she can easily get into a learning state now.
The old habit of easily distracted and starting to think about other things, like checking my phone, after studying for even a short while or doing just one or two problems has disappeared!
"Could it be that I actually love learning, but I just hadn't realized the joy of it before?"
An Yi glanced at the girl next to him who was studying advanced mathematics, and then, at the girl's prompting, quickly immersed himself back in his studies.
This time, without the advantage of [+1 in calculation ability], his problem-solving speed was naturally not as fast as before. He had no idea how to solve some problems and could only look at the answers to study them.
No problem, with the help of [Memory Ability +1], the number of times he used to need to memorize problem-solving strategies has been greatly reduced!
This is crucial for An Yi.
Because often it's not that he can't understand the formulas and theorems, or that he can't understand the problem-solving approaches; he just thinks, "Oh, I think I understand," after reading them, and then forgets them after a while.
The problem is that he doesn't realize he's forgotten it; instead, he remains stuck in the impression that "I understand" until he actually needs to use it.
For example, during an exam, you encounter a problem that looks very familiar. You are certain that you have done it before and know how to solve it, but you just can't remember how!
But if you make him repeat those facts over and over again, he will inevitably become lazy.
How could a person not know their own shortcomings? But knowing one's shortcomings is one thing, having the willpower to overcome them is another.
An Yi quickly entered a state of flow again.
In this state, people are basically unable to perceive the passage of time.
It wasn't until the other students in the study room gradually left their seats, inevitably making some noise as they moved, that An Yi finally snapped out of her flow state.
He looked around, slightly bewildered, then subconsciously glanced at the calculus girl beside him. "What's wrong?"
With a hint of reluctance, Calculus closed the novel he had switched to and solemnly announced, "Lunchtime!"
"How could it be so fast!"
An Yi was surprised and took out his phone to look at it. For a moment, he wondered if there was something wrong with the clock... He clearly felt that only a short while had passed.
The main reason was that he felt he was in a very good state of mind and his learning efficiency was extremely high. When he suddenly learned that he had to go to eat and could not continue studying, he felt a sense of loss and reluctance.
What if it becomes difficult to enter this state again later? Wouldn't it be a huge loss to stop now? It's like entering the state of "enlightenment" in an online novel, only to be interrupted by some trivial matters—a complete waste of a great opportunity!
For a moment, An Yi even had the urge to stop eating lunch and continue studying.
"or……"
"No, no, no!"
As if she knew what An Yi wanted to say, Gao Shu rubbed her stomach and blinked her eyes repeatedly, vividly demonstrating what it meant to be "pitiful".
"I'm hungry, time for dinner~"
"Okay~"
Without the slightest hesitation, An Yi instantly forgot all thoughts of studying, and even the tone of her voice softened involuntarily.
Who can withstand this combo?
Anyway, An Yi is no good; he has already been defeated.
Well, people are made of iron, and food is steel. You can study anytime, but you must eat on time!
"Walk!"
The girl, whose eyes lit up instantly, jumped up from her seat. "I see on the school map that there are a lot of cafeterias. Which cafeteria has the best food?"
"Well, although I haven't been to many of them, I've heard that the South Fourth Canteen has the best decor and the best food, and it's not far from the library."
An Yi closed the book, held it in his hand, and walked out of the library with her.
"I've heard the revolving hot pot on the fourth floor is great, and the spicy stir-fry on the third floor and the hot dry noodles on the second floor are also amazing... Of course, that's just hearsay. Which one would you like to try first?"
"Spicy hot pot, please! I can't wait!"
The mood of the advanced calculus student never seems to be low; his tone and spirit are always upbeat. I wonder if it's because he is influenced by his surroundings.
This joyful mood also infected An Yi, making him unconsciously begin to look forward to it.
The midday sun in midsummer was intense, almost turning the world white. The wind rustled the lush green leaves, and the sound carried the occasional chatter of other students on the road. An Yi and Gao Shu walked through the shade of tree after tree, and gradually the sounds seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in the world, as if they were in another world.
This state continued until they entered the South Fourth Canteen, where An Yi was pulled back to reality by the aroma of food and the lively sounds.
The South Fourth Canteen is indeed the best canteen in the entire Jingjiang University. This can be seen from its decoration and scale. It is a five-story building with elevators, and the decoration is the latest, with a distinct artistic style.
"I want to eat this, this, and this..."
Gao Shu pointed and gestured in the vegetable selection area, and An Yi picked up some of the vegetables wherever she pointed. After selecting the vegetables, she handed them to the chef to weigh, and then she could sit down and wait for them to be prepared on the spot.
Logically speaking, this part shouldn't be anything special, but while waiting in his seat, An Yi noticed that people around him were glancing at him from time to time, and some were even secretly pointing and whispering.
The reason for this situation is not hard to guess; An Yi immediately thought of the viral video from before.
"Am I a celebrity now?" he couldn't help but think.
