Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 651 Super Brain
At nine o'clock, Nanjing still had the chill of early morning, but the streets were already bustling with traffic.

The city's abundance of greenery adds a touch of life to the jungle of reinforced concrete.

In the neighborhood, commuters hurried to the subway, while electric bike riders carrying tearful children sped towards the kindergarten.

A few scattered words drifted over on the wind as I passed by Li Xia:
"You've been late four times this month! And it's only the first week of September! If you're late again, you're on your own!"

"Wow! I don't want to go to school!"

Aowu, Heitan, and Xiaotian, each with a small schoolbag, stood in a row by the roadside, looking as helpless as children going to kindergarten for the first time.

They could have used their personal space, but after Li Xia said she was going to school, the three excited kids gave a huge tip and managed to get the delivery guy to buy them three backpacks.

Li Xia still remembers that the delivery guy almost cried when he opened the door and saw Aowu. It took Li Xia several minutes to understand that the guy was afraid that she would ask for the tip back because he was a "child who doesn't know any better".

Is going to school really that scary?

Xiao Long, carrying an empty schoolbag, stared blankly at the electric scooter that was gradually moving away amidst the crying. He turned his head and asked Hei Tan, "He's the only one among the 'Four Brothers of the Temple' who has ever been to school."

"I've seen several kids who don't want to go to school."

Kurotan reminisced about his life at the Palico Academy and said earnestly:
"Meow meow—meow meow meow! (I'm going to get a beating from the teacher at school!)"

"Hang him up and beat him up???"

Xiao Long stammered and repeated:
"No, why are they being hung up and beaten?"

"Meow! (The teacher said that only by getting beaten up a lot will you not be afraid of pain when fighting monsters!)"

Li Xia shook his head beside him. The Palico Academy on the black charcoal was not a normal school at all. What is Palico?
They are the hunter's best partner, facing monsters alongside the hunter. The training is extremely rigorous, essentially a combat skills school.

"Don't worry, the school doesn't beat people."

As the former top university in Asia, Jinling University's main campus is located in the heart of Jinling. Li Xia's GL8 turned into the school gate, and the security guard straightened up and paid attention to the license plate and the pass hanging on the windshield.

Once the car was out of sight, they excitedly huddled together to gossip:

"Wow, can this license plate and permit be put on a GL8???"

"Keep it low-key, you know? It would be a waste to hang this license plate and pass on some luxury car. This is for official business, otherwise the school would have specifically notified us to let us through without asking any questions."

“That makes sense, but this is the first time I’ve seen these license plates and passes. What level or department do you think is allowed to display the national emblem on a license plate and have three passes?”

Li Xia knew nothing of the gossip among the guards at the gate. He walked along the road, as if he had traveled through time. Green ivy covered the walls of the old buildings on both sides, and the old and the vibrant life blended and burst forth here.

The car stopped in front of a small building. Director Zhang, who had been waiting at the door, warmly extended his hands as soon as he got out of the car. Behind him stood several people who looked like they were "filled with knowledge".

"Hello, sir!"

Director Zhang's hands were warm and strong. As he looked at the three people behind him, they unconsciously started pushing up their glasses. They all remembered what Director Zhang looked like when he first arrived.

The principal accompanied him! He seemed even more enthusiastic than when he saw JW, constantly referring to Director Zhang, and mentioning this car...
As professors at top universities in China, they enjoy a high social status, and their accumulated knowledge allows them access to many things that ordinary people cannot access.

Even they had never seen such license plates and terrifying passes before. There were three passes: one was a core pass for the entire country, and the other two were much simpler and more direct, belonging to the GA's special pass and the GP's confidential pass.

With these three certificates combined, you can travel freely throughout the country, especially if you add that license plate number starting with the national emblem (0001).
"Let me introduce you. This is Professor Liu from the School of Mathematical Sciences, and Professor Zhang and Professor Wang from the School of Physics."

After exchanging pleasantries, Director Zhang introduced the three Zhongdeng representatives behind him to Li Xia:

"These professors are all recognized throughout the college as outstanding teachers with excellent teaching abilities, meticulousness, and patience. They can definitely meet your needs!"

"Yes, thank you everyone."

"You're too kind, you're too kind."

After another round of rambling and small talk, the conversation finally stopped once they entered the classroom.

Director Zhang carefully hid to the side, barely speaking, trying his best to minimize his presence.

Li Xia didn't care, after all, his goal was to study.

"Dear teachers, I hope to teach mathematics and physics courses, and the three of you will be our students."

Professor Liu opened his mouth, pointing to Aowu, Heitan, and Xiaotian, who looked no more than four or five years old:
"Do those three children want to learn too?"

"want!"

"this----"

Professor Liu's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Director Zhang, but what awaited him was Director Zhang's resolute look: No matter what they say, you fucking agree to it!!!

"Okay, but I'm not very good at teaching."

Professor Liu was sweating bullets. These three kids were probably only at the level of addition and subtraction within ten at most. How could he teach them? He'd never taught them before!

Judging from his expression, Li Xia knew perfectly well that he had misunderstood.

"No need, our current progress is similar to that of the senior year of high school, which is perfect for the transition to the first year of university."

Freshman year?

These three children?
Not only Professor Liu, but the other two professors also had strange expressions. They looked at Li Xia, who didn't seem to be joking, and then at Director Zhang, whose face was full of seriousness.

An idea popped into my head that I couldn't suppress: Could this be the reason?
Several super geniuses have emerged in China and are currently under secret protection. The current basic education system can no longer meet the needs of these three geniuses.

In an instant, the names of god-level mathematicians who influenced the progress of human civilization, such as Gauss, Euler, and Riemann, echoed in their minds. Yes, that must be it!
You should know that the emergence of a genius of this caliber can push humanity's mental peak forward by leaps and bounds, and can influence the course of history!

Now that I'm teaching them, I should at least call them "teacher." When history talks about these three geniuses in the future, won't they also include my name in the credits?
His name will be etched in history!

When those four words became the final conclusion in their minds, the three professors immediately became excited, as if their whole bodies were filled with energy.

"No problem! Let's get started now!"

Although he didn't know what these three were thinking, passion was always a good thing. Li Xia nodded and gestured for them to proceed.
"We will be working quickly, and we will provide timely feedback if you have any questions!"

Professor Liu, full of fighting spirit, pulled down the blackboard and opened the textbook he had prepared long ago:

"Then let's start with advanced mathematics!"

The following day, Director Zhang and the three professors, their expressions shifting from astonishment to amazement and finally to numbness, as if they had witnessed a miracle.

It's a miracle, of course!
That terrifying learning efficiency almost scared several people to death. He truly understood things instantly and learned them in no time. Even his calculation ability, which was both big and small, was exceptionally strong.

No need for pen and paper, no need for scratch paper, just close your eyes, furrow your brow, and the answer is given.

If the three of them hadn't just stood there watching, they would have definitely thought they were using scientific tools. Director Zhang, though he didn't understand, was deeply shocked.

What happened the next day was even more shocking.

This time, Li Xia and his team requested three classrooms, each equipped with a screen that could project the lectures from the other two classrooms onto the screen, while the sound was transmitted through headphones hanging on their ears.

Black Charcoal went to the Electromagnetism classroom, Aowu went to the Classical Mechanics classroom, and Li Xia remained in the Advanced Mathematics classroom.

How can carbon-based organisms learn three courses simultaneously?

It's a genuine three-door system!!!

Multitasking?
After the seven-day course, their progress was equivalent to that of an average student for two years. What a monster!

"Thank you, teachers."

Li Xia's gaze swept over the three of them, and after thinking for a moment, he turned to Director Zhang and said:

"Director Zhang, please give my contact information to these people. If I'm not here, please answer the call for me. You should be able to do that."

Director Zhang immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Surveillance was a given, how could it not be? But there are different kinds of surveillance. The kind that involves sending people to keep an eye on someone is just incredibly stupid!

They were only observing Li Xia from the sidelines, such as his clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and even checking what he viewed through his online accounts. They could analyze far too much from these observations.

As for monitoring phone usage from the backend, isn't that basic operation?

Thanks to the various apps for their relentless collection of user information; they don't even need to leave backdoors, as they've already done it themselves.

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean."

Director Zhang didn't even wipe the sweat from his forehead, which meant he wasn't going to hold a grudge, which was a good thing.

The impact of these seven days of courses on the entire countermeasures department was no less than that of Li Xia's influence.

What is more terrifying than superpowers?
It means possessing both super strength and a super brain.

On a distant island, Li Xia's true form slowly opened her eyes. Although the head housekeeper, Helen, had gone to Jinling to work as a nanny, as an android, she could return to this place at any time through the local area network between androids to command the other housekeeping robots to maintain the manor.

Li Xia stood up and once again followed the lush green path to the Spiritual Time Chamber.

In the endless white light, his consciousness once again entered that wondrous place.

The snow on the cliffs remains unchanged, and the wild plum blossoms, still blooming in the ice crevice, are still in full bloom, with three withered flowers swaying in the wind.

The cabin, however, seemed much more real because of Li Xia's needs, and the originally narrow top cliff appeared much larger.

It turned into a large open space covered with snow.

Li Xia stretched out his hand, and golden light condensed in front of his palm until a scroll appeared in his hand. He tossed it into the air, and the scroll unfurled on its own.

[Whether or not to imprint the spiritual land of the snow-capped mountains]

Li Xia roughly defined the distance, and then another prompt popped up in front of her.

[The current printing area requires 30 pigment points. Print now?]

After the selection was made, the entire scroll suddenly began to fluctuate violently, growing larger and larger in Li Xia's slightly astonished gaze until it unfolded into a huge scroll like a sky curtain.

Finally, endless radiance poured down from the blank scroll, and at the same time, patterns resembling ink paintings gradually emerged on the blank scroll.

After the freehand landscape painting was completely copied, the "Mountains and Rivers" map was shrunk down again and fell into Li Xia's hands.

Li Xia weighed it in his hand. From this moment on, this artifact of destiny could finally be considered truly usable.

The scroll once again turned into golden light and dissipated. Li Xia arrived at the familiar spot, sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, and began to practice breathing exercises.

Once you've mastered the profound mysteries of the Eight or Nine Heavens, you can roam freely in the world.

His breath swirled and condensed into wisps of white smoke around Li Xia, eventually drifting upwards and gathering together to form a small, mysterious auspicious cloud.

[Executioner, your current stay in the real world has reached the minimum requirement.]

Should we return to the Hall of Light?

"Yes"

Welcome back to the Hall of Light!

The three little ones returned to the hall with eager eyes, impatient to test their learning results.

"I have been studying the Great Dao of Supreme Mechanics for the past few days, delving into it day by day. I find it quite profound and have already grasped three-tenths of its true meaning. I wish to go to the training ground to test the Great Dao!"

He coughed twice, then gave Heitan and Xiaotian a serious look:
"Second brother, third brother, would you like to come with me?"

The charcoal-colored creature raised its claws:
"Meow!"

The kitten was also learning about electromagnetism, but it was basically starting from scratch, so the professor had to start teaching it from junior high school level. However, on the last day, the kitten still discussed with the professor how to make its 'electromagnetic cannon' even more powerful.

This time, we've done a thorough optimization and are just about to test its power.

As for Xiaotian, after watching Inuyasha for seven days, he felt that he was incredibly strong and even wanted to buy a 'Tessaiga'!
Li Xia was about to speak when the communicator suddenly vibrated. He picked it up, looked at it, and immediately went outside.

There was only one sentence on the communicator.

[Madaou: Your devastating slingshot is ready. Come over here when you have time.]

[Li Xia: I'll be there soon!]

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Sorry, sorry, there will only be one update today.

The main topic of discussion today was the authors themselves; it's probably all over the author groups. People are either expressing their support or just watching the drama unfold. The entire afternoon was basically spent in heated debate and gossip. Platinum-level and top-tier authors joined in the flame war, followed closely by superstar authors with tens of thousands of subscribers. We mid-level authors cheered them on, since it concerns our own interests.
Simply put, our authors and editors agree that Qidian's current operational strategy is problematic.

Diaanniang is a reading app, and that's what matters. It shouldn't focus its energy on things like creating romantic pairings, selling merchandise, or promoting female protagonists in male-oriented content, while the operations team promotes female protagonists on Xiaohongshu.

Reading apps should focus on novels, making reading more comfortable and affordable for readers, providing a better reading experience, and prioritizing readers. They should avoid fancy rating systems and selling products.
