"Dongdong, bring that book over there."
"Sorry, Dongdong doesn’t have that function yet. The great master will definitely teach Dongdong in the future!"
"Dongdong, go under the bookshelf and get a bag of snacks."
"Sorry, Dongdong doesn’t have this function yet. The great master will definitely teach Dongdong in the future!"
"Dongdong, what’s your surna!"
"Dongdong is a robot and doesn’t have a human surna."
"Dongdong, are you hungry?"
"I don’t like to eat, but I like to digest all kinds of information."
"Dongdong..."
Lin Xiaoqing kept chatting with the robot, asking all kinds of strange questions, sotis laughing so hard that his belly ached with fun.
Zhao Yi was a little speechless.
He understood Lin Xiaoqing’s actions and had similar mories. He would also chat non-stop with the small assistant on his smartphone and ask so strange questions, interested in how the assistant would answer.
But... Dongdong?
The na itself was fine, but associating it with ’Lin Xudong’ felt a little odd.
Zhao Yi wanted to na the robot ’Wang Cai’, ’Ah Huang’ and the like, but Lin Xiaoqing insisted that ’Dongdong’ was a good na. He couldn’t help but think of Zhao Linlin. If Linlin were to na the robot, it would probably end up with a na like ’Niu Lianhua’.
Girls were all the sa when they started teasing.
After playing for a while, Lin Xiaoqing had to reluctantly stop and start seriously studying math.
Zhao Yi taught Lin Xiaoqing math mostly by solving challenging problems and guiding her to think about these problems. He also felt it was not very helpful, but most tutoring institutions and teachers also teach this way.
And it was really no other way around it.
How else could he teach?
For difficult math problems, so people just couldn’t solve them. No matter how much you guide them, they just can’t co up with the answer. The only thing that could be improved was ’problem-solving experience’. With more exposure to different types of problems, your ’problem-solving experience’ would increase. When you see a similar type of problem, you might rember where the key point is.
Lin Xiaoqing was like that now. Despite attending tutoring classes, she made little progress. To put it bluntly, her problem-solving ability was limited by her logical thinking. The only thing she could improve was her ’problem-solving experience’.
Zhao Yi felt no pressure in explaining this. He only needed her to understand the answer and rember the type of problem.
Of course,
He didn’t forget an important thing.
Grabbing the small hand.
Tickling the palm.
[Flirting, Target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin 2.]
Lin Xiaoqing quickly pulled her hand back, glared at him reproachfully, and after about ten minutes, she got over it.
Continue.
[Flirting, Target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin 2.]
[Flirting, Target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin 2.]
After almost an hour of effort, Zhao Yi finally maxed out his ’flirting points’, and then beca a respectful gentleman.
Lin Xiaoqing stood up, patting her backside, her face flushed with embarrassnt, and said, "Why are you always like this? You’re being a - hooligan. I’m not coming tomorrow."
"It’s not my fault."
Zhao Yi held up his right hand and examined it carefully, then said very seriously, "I don’t know why, but this hand seems to have developed a mind of its own. I didn’t do anything, it just..."
"Look!"
He exclaid.
His right hand seed to really be out of his control, swaying and pulling him up to stand. Then it continued to pull him closer to Lin Xiaoqing, aiming for a crucial part of her body.
Lin Xiaoqing quickly dodged with her book and simply ran outside, complaining as she ran, "Just keep making excuses!"
"Rascal!"
"Humph!"
Zhao Yi chuckled and closed the door.
There was no other way!
He had to earn the study coins.
He had been cooped up at ho these past few days, and he could only see Lin Xiaoqing at night. If he didn’t take the opportunity to earn so study coins, what else could he do?
It was not his intention!
"It’s all the system’s fault!"
"Earning study coins by flirting? That’s such nonsense! "Tao Yi complained a few tis, then opened the system to check the data--
[Na: Zhao Yi.]
[Brain Domain Developnt: 6.3%.]
[Wisdom: 69.]
[Energy: 108/122.]
[Study Coins: 4823.]
[Research Coins: 81.]
[Abilities: "Law of Cause and Effect", "Connection Law". (To activate the next stage of ability, it requires 6000 Study Coins.)]
After publishing the paper on the Collatz Conjecture, there was a significant increase in both his study coins and research coins. The last ti he published ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’, he received 1200 study coins and 24 research coins. For proving the ’Collatz Conjecture’, he received 800 study coins and 18 research coins.
He had originally thought that proving the ’Collatz Conjecture’, with its world-class influence and the attraction of math proof over computer applications, would earn him more study coins and research coins than publishing ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’.
Unfortunately, it didn’t.
In retrospect, it was normal.
The process of proving the ’Collatz Conjecture’ ca ’incidentally’ during the study of ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’. Both study coins and research coins were consequences of impact, not real research output.
Zhao Yi was a little disappointed. He had hoped that he could earn the third ability when his study coins reached 6000.
Now he is still short of just over 1000, at least a month and a half more?
"After the Spring Festival, it should be just about ti for the start of the next sester?" Zhao Yi calculated the ti carefully.
Before bed.
He continued researching the robot program.
The obstacle-avoidance and judgnt code Zhao Yi designed had always been restricted by the hardware capabilities. Because the images captured by the caras were two-dinsional, it was extrely difficult to make three-dinsional judgnts based on these images.
He ca up with a solution--
Add more caras.
Previously, extra caras were added to help with obstacle-avoidance, comparing the images of the road captured below with images captured from the front-facing cara.
Now, adding more caras would also involve making comparisons, but the goal had changed to ’3D analysis’. To achieve more precise ’3D analysis’, the two caras would be better off being placed further apart.
Zhao Yi did so in-depth research and decided to install a ’3D analysis’ cara on each side of the robot’s belly (screen).
He directly asked Zhang Zhen to help order the sa model of caras, buying ten at one go to cater for replacents, or uses in other areas, negating the need to purchase again in the future.
At this point, Zhao Yi understood the importance of ’lab’.
Simple hardware facilities in the lab were ample. Caras and other related hardware were essential equipnt and would definitely have sufficient reserves, available for use whenever needed.
If he could complete the design for ’3D analysis’, the next step would be to judge moving objects.
The step after that would be to install a GPS.
By then...
"At least in terms of movent, it could nearly match the judgnt logic of humans."
"By then it will be able to do so things."
"Like... Running errands at the supermarket downstairs for ?"
Zhao Yi felt quite hopeful.
...
A week later.
Zhao Yi returned to school.
His original plan was to stay indoors for a few more days as the final exams were just around the corner.
With the end of term exams would co the winter break and countdown to the Spring Festival. As ti slowly passed, and the hype around him started to diminish, there wouldn’t be as much dia coverage, and life wouldn’t be greatly affected.
But he still went.
Wang Chengmin ca to his ho and told him to go to school for a city... award ceremony?
Award ceremony?
Award money!
That was a busy few hours.
Zhao Yi was awakened early and was then picked up by a car and taken to school. He t many city leaders at school and attended the arranged award ceremony with Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi standing by his side as his parents, key guests, and witnesses.
During a student’s speech, a leader from the Education Bureau specifically praised Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi, calling them great parents who had raised a truly talented and elite individual.
Although Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi were incredibly happy, feeling as if they had reached the peak of their lives, Zhao Yi felt a bit embarrassed.
Fortunately, the award ceremony wasn’t long.
After leaders from the city, the Education Bureau, and the school each gave speeches, the award presentation began. Zhao Yi held a huge check and took photos with many people, so of whom he didn’t even recognize, yet they wanted to pose for ’warm and intimate’ photos.
Zhao Yi felt as though he was a tool to boost their popularity.
Well then!
He would endure it!
Zhao Yi looked at the six zeros following the ’1’ on the check and instantly felt as if being used for popularity gains was nothing.
A million!
Although he had previously received a million before, receiving another one still felt pretty good. Especially when it was a reward given by the city, receiving a reward felt even better than earning money himself.
Zhao Yi appeared calm.
Others, however, were not. Liu Jing, for instance, kept suggesting, "Should we buy another house? You can never have too many houses!"
"Hold on to it first!" Zhao Zhenxi opposed.
Zhao Yi thought his father had suddenly wised up and would ntion a new use for the money, only to hear him continue, "Xiao Yi is going to college next year, wherever he goes, we’ll buy a house near the university. Then, when we go to visit him, we will have a place to stay..."
Makes sense!
Liu Jing’s eyes lit up as she agreed, "Yes, we will do just that!"
Zhao Yi almost fell over when he heard this. He hurriedly sent them away from the school, but still couldn’t settle down and enjoy his school life.
Everyone was talking about the million dollars.
For ordinary students, a million was an unimaginable figure. Just like how Zhao Yi was comfortable receiving a million for the second ti, they knew Zhao Yi had received once and there were still many topics to be discussed when he received it a second ti.
"That’s a million dollars!"
"Zhao Yi has received two million dollars in prize money! Even if he does nothing now, he can’t spend it all in his lifeti!"
"There really is no comparison, the money in my pocket, isn’t even enough to eat a good al in the cafeteria..."
"So jealous!"
Zhao Linlin also ca over and snidely remarked, "Zhao Yi, how about this, you give that million, and I’ll ’sell myself’ to you, how’s that?"
Lin Xiaoqing joked, "A million is too little. Linlin is worth at least ten million!"
Zhao Yi looked Zhao Linlin up and down before earnestly asking, "Selling for real?"
"You’re really buying?"
Zhao Linlin suddenly panicked a little.
Zhao Yi nodded and started calculating, "There are 365 days in a year. Let’s say you live for another 60 years, that’s 21900 days in total. 10 million divided by 21900... How about this!"
He then raised his head and said seriously, "I’ll only buy one day. Buying single days can be a bit expensive, so I’ll round it up to an even, five hundred."
"Rember to follow ho after school today!"
"We’ll settle the bill tomorrow!"
Zhao Linlin, taken aback, finally reacted and kicked him, "Go to hell!"
They ended up fooling around.
Lin Xiaoqing watched them, lips pursed in disdain, and huffed in dissatisfaction.
"Hmph!"
