Chapter 40

Lu Yu had already arrived at the door of the Computer Lab.

He stopped and looked inside the Computer Lab.

"Wang Meng, what are you saying? I can't understand you. What does your task……have to do with Lu Yu?"

"You wouldn't tell me you had Lu Yu help you modify the code, would you?"

"This……you're not joking, are you?"

The classmates could no longer hold back their curiosity and all spoke up.

Wang Meng had already wiped the smile from his face and said seriously: "Yes, I'm not joking."

"This morning, I had actually prepared to give up this task, because……it's too hard."

"In fact, I've had this task for three days already, but……"

Wang Meng began to recount his experience, his expression shifting from helpless to despairing, and finally becoming excited.

"It was Lu Yu! Lu Yu solved all my problems!"

"Here, I want to apologize to Lu Yu."

"At that time, I gave my task to Lu Yu, and he said he needed a little time to finish it, so I……thought he also found the task too hard and was making excuses."

"After I returned to my seat, I looked at Lu Yu again and discovered……he was actually spacing out. I……"

"It had only been ten minutes since I gave the task to Lu Yu!"

"I……I was a bit angry at the time."

"Then……I opened the task list and discovered……Lu Yu had already fixed it for me!"

"After my testing and running, I found……it was correct! No loopholes at all!"

"Moreover, I completely understood the code's content; it was so concise that I thought I could have written it myself!"

Wang Meng stopped speaking at this point.

Then……the entire Computer Lab's classmates were stunned.

To laypeople, it's natural to think the more complex the code, the better the programmer.

But the fact is not so.

Someone can express with two lines of code what others need ten-plus pages of code to express; who is stronger?

In overnight code, there are actually many ineffective lines; it's just that……not everyone can notice them.

So……those classmates who deeply understand this principle can no longer be described as merely shocked.

Their gaze fell on Lu Yu once again.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Yes!

Even now, they dare not believe Wang Meng's words are true!

On what basis!

On what basis can a seven-year-old child achieve this level!

…

Suddenly, Professor Chen lifted his head, his eyes wide open, staring fixedly at Wang Meng.

Even……Professor Chen excitedly placed both hands on Wang Meng's shoulders.

"Who exactly completed this task?" Professor Chen's voice even trembled.

"Lu Yu! It's Lu Yu!" Wang Meng was startled, but quickly reacted.

Professor Chen's hands suddenly loosened, as if……as if his whole body had lost strength.

But……it was only for a moment, and his eyes were again filled with piercing light.

He suddenly turned around and then saw Lu Yu standing at the door.

Then he quickly walked toward Lu Yu.

"Lu Yu, was that task really you helping Wang Meng modify it?" Professor Chen looked at Lu Yu and said.

Lu Yu lightly nodded and said: "That classmate came to me for help, and since I had time, I helped him modify it a bit."

Professor Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, and was shocked again.

Or rather, he had never recovered from the shock.

As mentioned before, Professor Chen gives each student a task every day.

If the classmates cannot complete the task, they will not go home.

But Wang Meng had received this task for three days, and Professor Chen hadn't even asked a word.

Why?

Naturally because Professor Chen knows the difficulty of this task!

In fact, when Professor Chen assigned this task to Wang Meng, he held this mindset……

That task contains some points that even Professor Chen himself couldn't figure out.

Wang Meng is the smartest and most capable person in the Computer Lab; Professor Chen thought that if anyone could solve the problems therein, it would definitely be Wang Meng.

So, he waited patiently.

But he never expected……

Lu Yu!

A child who had only been in the Computer Lab for two days……actually……only took a little while to solve the problem that even he found difficult!

How could Professor Chen not be excited?

Genius?

What kind of freakish genius is this!

Using genius to describe Lu Yu—isn't that an insult to Lu Yu?

……

"Lu Yu…… I apologize to you for what just happened."

"You…… you stay here first, I'll be back soon!"

After saying those two sentences hastily to Lu Yu, Professor Chen quickly walked out of the Jiaoshi.

Everyone looked bewildered, completely unaware of what Professor Chen was doing.

However……

After a moment, all the classmates stopped their work and gathered toward Lu Yu.

"Lu Yu…… have you really looked at everyone's missions?"

"Lu Yu…… what do you think of my mission? It's mission number 003; I have some parts I don't understand—can you help me figure them out?"

"Lu Yu, do you have time now? I'd like to ask you a question."

Yes! These science students are just so adorable!

They accepted the fact that Lu Yu was very capable, and then…… they immediately sought his advice.

They didn't mind Lu Yu's childish identity, or rather, their focus was mainly on their own tasks.

Too many people asked Lu Yu questions at once, so…… Lu Yu simply didn't know how to answer.

"What are you all doing! With so many people asking Lu Yu questions at once, how can he answer?"

"Now you all line up, one by one come over to Lu Yu to ask questions!"

At that moment, Chen Yang stepped forward.

Then…… Wang Meng also ran over.

The two of them were like the left and right door gods, keeping everyone outside.

Come one by one to ask me.

However…… before school ends, I need to go eat.

So, if by the time school ends I still haven't solved your problems, then…… we'll wait until this afternoon.

Don't worry, I've looked over all your tasks; they're not that hard. They should be doable in about an hour.

Lu Yu said as such.

Then…… Lu Yu returned to his seat.

The classmates who had already lined up then came one by one to the front of Lu Yu's seat.

Wang Meng and Chen Yang then seriously supervised all the classmates, not letting them cut in line!

This scene is somewhat…… like a celebrity autograph session?

Probably in this computer lab worth several million, such a thing has never happened before, right?

After all, this is supposed to be a world full of boredom and rigor.
