Chapter 39

Time just slipped away, as if in a blink it was already half past ten in the morning.

Professor Chen also didn't know what had delayed them, and they still hadn't shown up by now.

Wang Meng couldn't wait any longer, so he... opened the computer.

He wanted to download a game to play, but... he discovered that he actually doesn't usually play games.

At this moment, his gaze fell on the desktop; he saw the task list, he saw his own task.

Just one more look?

Yes! Just take one more look!

Where in this world are there so many who give up so easily?

Every experience where feelings were invested will be deeply etched in the mind, never fading.

Wang Meng took a deep breath, then opened his own task.

Then...

His gaze fell on the segment of code that had previously gone wrong.

Then...

His eyes widened suddenly!

His code had been modified!

Some of the code he wrote had been deleted, and the modified code was marked with a different font color.

Wang Meng also couldn't say what his current mood was.

Anger? Grief? Or a heart as dead as ashes?

He took another deep breath, then...

Then, he seriously examined the modified code, and he became safely immersed in it.

At eleven o'clock, Professor Chen finally arrived late.

After entering the Computer Lab, his gaze immediately fell on Lu Yu.

"Lu Yu, why did you leave early yesterday?" Professor Chen spoke directly.

Professor Chen's voice wasn't loud, but his expression was stern, his tone icy; he was truly angry.

Like these research institutes of theirs, they have already taken the project as their own life.

Lu Yu's behavior is a disrespect to his life.

In the Computer Lab, part of the classmates continued to work with their heads down, while another part shifted their gaze to Lu Yu.

Chen Yang naturally also looked at Lu Yu; at this moment... his heart was filled with fear.

If the answer is not good, Professor Chen could directly have Lu Yu leave the team!

Lu Yu didn't avoid, stared straight at Professor Chen, and said: "Because I have no task, then… I should be able to leave at any time, right?"

Professor Chen was stunned, he realized... Lu Yu's answer actually made some sense!

But...

After a moment of silence, he said: "Are you familiar with the entire project's content? Didn't I tell you to follow Chen Yang first? Do you understand what Chen Yang's code means?"

"Can you complete Chen Yang's task on your own?"

"Can you independently complete each task I've released?"

The classmates looking at Lu Yu at this moment did not feel schadenfreude; they just felt... not much.

Whether Lu Yu stays or leaves, for them... it's actually irrelevant.

Lu Yu also cannot share their workload, so what difference does it make whether he goes or stays?

Lu Yu continued to stare straight at Professor Chen, he thought seriously for a moment, then said: "I can independently complete Chen Yang's task, and I can also independently complete each task Professor Chen has distributed in the list."

Silence! The entire Computer Lab instantly fell silent.

Not quite, because at this moment the sound of keyboards could still be heard.

Some classmates remained immersed in the world of code.

And at this moment, the classmates looking at Lu Yu had faces full of disbelief.

They never expected that Lu Yu would actually... be such a braggart!

The entire project was broken down by Professor Chen into countless parts, which are the tasks Professor Chen spoke of.

But even so, each task remains full of difficulty.

Each of them needs to muster twelve parts of spirit and exert twelve parts of strength to barely complete the task.

Now... Lu Yu, a seven-year-old child alone, says he understands all tasks and can independently complete them all!

What is this if not bragging?

Without saying anything else, not a single one of them can even manage to "understand all tasks"!

Professor Chen's brows also furrowed tightly, his gaze toward Lu Yu... carried disappointment.

He had great expectations for Lu Yu.

He doesn't know how formidable Lu Yu has become now, but being able to independently complete game production at this age is already quite remarkable.

Even if this game, in his view, is deadly simple.

Yes!

All he valued was Lu Yu's age, nothing more than Lu Yu's potential.

But now...

Let's learn about the Shang Zhongyong tragedy.

Young geniuses, Professor Chen has actually seen many, but how many of them actually grow up?

Very few!

Otherwise, why is the domestic tech level still a bit behind international?

"You... go out." Professor Chen was angry inside, but he ultimately didn't erupt.

After all, Lu Yu is just a child.

Everyone's gaze once again fell on Lu Yu.

Lu Yu remained silent for a while before standing up from his seat.

At this point, he could naturally explain, but that would be too foolish.

Lu Yu decided to leave for now, then have Lao Li find Professor Chen, and later reveal his trump card……

Now this is the only way.

At this moment, Professor Chen had already shifted his gaze away from Lu Yu; he was truly disappointed and didn't want to look at Lu Yu again.

……

Success! It actually succeeded!

The atmosphere inside the Computer Lab felt a bit oppressive, with nobody daring to make a sound.

Professor Chen stood coldly on the podium.

Lu Yu was walking toward outside the Jiaoshi.

But at that moment, a cheer rang out.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on where the cheer came from.

Wang Meng!

The sound was made by Wang Meng.

He even jumped up from his seat at that moment, his excited look as if he had won the Mark Six lottery.

Then……

Wang Meng noticed that everyone in the Computer Lab was looking at him, and even… Professor Chen had already stood in front of the Computer Lab.

He felt embarrassed for a moment, then……

"Professor Chen, I've completed the task you gave me! I finally did it!"

"No! Wrong, it wasn't me who completed it, it was Lu Yu!"

"Lu Yu helped me revise the code I couldn't figure out."

"I never thought code could be written like this!"

"It's like when I'm doing a math problem and I've lost my train of thought, but Lu Yu's approach gives me a sudden sense of enlightenment."

"I recognize all of his code, and I can instantly understand his method—this… this is really amazing!"

Wang Meng was really excited, even forgetting his embarrassment, and began to speak at length.

The more he spoke, the louder his voice became.

Doubts began to appear in the classmates' eyes.

Professor Chen, who was standing in front, however, quickly walked toward Wang Meng.

He didn't even pay attention to Wang Meng, focusing all his attention on the computer screen!
