Chapter 38

Wang Meng, this name sounds pretty fierce.

In fact, Wang Meng is indeed fierce, but his fierceness is not shown in his body, but in his intelligence.

His IQ is very high, rumored to have reached the highest level for humans, which is naturally just hearsay.

But the things Wang Meng has done and the achievements he has attained are enough to prove his talent and effort.

A paper he wrote, 'Some Things About Network Security,' has been published in a well-known domestic technology magazine.

Wang Meng has also won the national youth's highest science and technology award.

So, Professor Chen of Mo Du University of Electronic Science and Technology, after confirming the topic, personally sought out Wang Meng.

Wang Meng is now a member of the Computer Lab, and the task he bears is also the most important and most difficult.

He once took pride in this, after all it represents his excellence; if he achieves results… he will make a stunning debut, even gaining great fame internationally.

But now… heaven just likes to toy with people, never letting things go smoothly.

Wang Meng has run into trouble.

To be precise, he ran into trouble two days ago.

He was stumped by a task issued by Professor Chen.

These two days… he has made no progress at all!

Fortunately he is still young; otherwise… he would go bald.

But he still feels awful.

Every day, even every hour, every minute, he feels as if he is living in a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.

He… wants to give up!

Indeed, not everyone can be called a genius.

Nor can every genius achieve success.

At this moment…

It is eight o'clock in the morning, and he has already arrived at the Computer Lab.

He did not turn on his computer, because… he will leave this place today!

Soon after, the classmates streamed into the Computer Lab, then returned to their seats and began working.

This destined another dull day.

Then…

Wang Meng saw Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was holding two small bags in his hand, presumably containing things.

He had a light smile on his face, muttering something under his breath, looking as if he were murmuring to himself.

Wang Meng naturally knew Chen Yang's previous condition.

Coming to the Computer Lab every day was like entering a prison; even a frown and bitter face were considered light, and he often… had a look of sore waist, aching back, and dull eyes.

But now… Chen Yang is practically a different person!

This made Wang Meng… feel envious.

Just as Wang Meng was thinking about these and that, the boy named Lu Yu appeared.

Chen Yang immediately jumped up from his seat and hurried toward Lu Yu, as if… a eunuch seeing the emperor?

When Lu Yu returned to his seat, Wang Meng immediately handed the two small bags to Lu Yu, while using a fawning expression and saying something to Lu Yu.

This scene… is quite absurd.

Then…

Wang Meng stood up from his seat and walked over toward Lu Yu.

……

Regarding Chen Yang being able to submit the task early, everyone in the Computer Lab had their own judgment, but in the end they all rejected their own judgment.

Because it was too absurd.

Wang Meng actually thought the same, but now…

He decided to try it before leaving.

If it is true, naturally everyone will be happy.

If it is false?

At most it would just be a joke for the classmates.

He has already resigned himself to leaving!

……

"Little friend… Lu Yu classmate, I have a question I'd like to ask you, you… you can answer it for me?" Wang Meng felt embarrassed as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lu Yu looked at Wang Meng with puzzlement.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, looked shocked; the smartest and most capable person in the Computer Lab, Wang Meng, actually… actually came to ask Lu Yu for advice?

Then… Chen Yang became wary.

Hasn't Wang Meng also noticed Lu Yu's prowess? Now… now is he here to steal Lu Yu?

But Chen Yang ultimately dared not speak at this moment.

"Forget it…" After waiting a while, Wang Meng felt as if a century had passed, feeling that his effort was pointless.

"What question? Aside from programming knowledge, I don't know much else." Lu Yu finally spoke.

Wang Meng: ……

You talk as if you know a lot about programming, but how old are you!

Wang Meng's heart was actually already desperate, but…

You open the computer, you can see my task in the task list.

The parts I don't understand have already been marked in there.

Wang Meng said so.

The computers in the Computer Lab are naturally connected to the local network, and the tasks posted by Professor Chen can be viewed on each machine.

Even if there is time, each classmate can see the "works" of all the other classmates.

"Okay, I'll take a look first." Lu Yu opened the computer, then……

He almost read ten lines at a glance, and in less than two minutes he had finished reading the densely packed dozen or so pages of code!

Even reading fast-food novels isn't this fast!

These are all code, code that needs analysis to know the specific meaning!

Wang Meng couldn't help shaking his head again.

"You go back first, your annotations are a bit many, I probably need a little time to help you fix them." Lu Yu said to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng snorted coldly inside, but kept a calm exterior—what's there to get angry at a kid about?

……

Wang Meng returned to his seat, and he still didn't open the computer.

He was like a puppet, staring at the Computer Lab's ceiling, in a daze.

About ten minutes later, Wang Meng unconsciously glanced toward Lu Yu's position.

Then……

What exactly am I looking forward to?

Something I myself can't figure out, can a seven-year-old kid solve it?

Wang Meng gave a self-mocking laugh.

Because at this moment, he saw Lu Yu…… Lu Yu's hands weren't on the keyboard at all, and his gaze wasn't even on the computer.

In other words…… Lu Yu simply had no solution; he had just been…… just fooling himself!

Or perhaps, this is a polite refusal?

But actually, it doesn't matter anymore.

Wang Meng let out a deep sigh, thinking to himself: When the professor comes, I'll bring up the idea of leaving.

……

Is Lu Yu really fooling Wang Meng?

Naturally not, there's absolutely no need for that.

He just told Wang Meng that he needed a little time to make revisions, so……

He really only used a little time—just eight minutes!

Within eight minutes, he had completely fixed the code!

So, at present, ten minutes later, Lu Yu, having finished his work, naturally started idling again.

But he wasn't in a daze; he was thinking about Grand and Mr. Qin's affairs.

In his previous life, Lu Yu had actually never heard of Mr. Qin's existence.

Perhaps because of his arrival, or perhaps because in his past life he wasn't very familiar with the inner workings of the game world.

But actually, these don't matter.

What matters is Mr. Qin's actions.

What game will Mr. Qin bring to the domestic market?

And how long will it take him to realize his idea?
