From child prodigy to chief scientist

Chapter 99 I really have become smarter!

I'll be busy again soon, so while I don't have anything urgent to do right now, I should cherish the happy times I have with my parents.

With the three of them working together, one dish after another was cooked.

After bringing the dishes to the table, Xu Lang even opened a bottle of beer, showing that he was in a really good mood.

Just six months ago, Xu Xiao was only a fifth-grade student at Gangdu Elementary School.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Xiao has become a prospective student at Yenching University, and he and Yu Guilan have become employees of Yenching University. It all seems too dreamlike.

If Xu Xiao weren't so young, Xu Lang would have almost opened a beer for him too.

"Xiaoxiao, when you grow up, you must have a drink with Dad!"

"No problem, it should be around by the time I graduate with my bachelor's degree."

In his previous life, Xu Xiao wasn't very interested in drinking; he mostly drank out of necessity for social obligations.

However, Xu Xiao is very happy to have a drink with her family.

However, his current body is indeed too delicate and definitely cannot withstand the damage caused by alcohol.

"Xiaoxiao, we won't follow your dad's example and drink alcohol. Alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen, and even a little bit won't do you any good. Today is a special occasion, so you're allowed to have one bottle, but you can't drink at home anymore."

"Okay, Nurse Yu, I understand. I don't usually drink it at home."

The three ate and chatted. Although Xu Lang and Yu Guilan had a little spat, the atmosphere was still very warm.

"Xiaoxiao, auditing classes at Yenching University must be quite tough lately, right? University knowledge is much harder than high school, so it's normal to fall behind at first. Don't worry."

Although Xu Xiao had previously won the CM0 championship with a perfect score, this is one of the best universities in the country, and they did not think that Xu Xiao could easily handle university courses.

"It's alright, as long as you listen carefully, you can still keep up."

"As long as you can keep up, that's fine. Anyway, you don't necessarily need to get high scores on university exams. As long as you pass all the subjects, you'll graduate without any problems."

Xu Lang didn't have high expectations for Xu Xiao. In his opinion, it was already very impressive that Xu Xiao was able to get a diploma from Peking University.

Xu Xiao certainly didn't have only this small goal; even if he got into Peking University, he was determined to become the best one.

Then, Xu Xiao inquired about Xu Lang and Yu Guilan's new jobs.

Their most noticeable feeling about their new jobs is that the workload is much lighter than before, and there is basically no work pressure.

Their supervisor even specifically told them that if anything happened, they could ask for leave without worry, and there would be no penalty or anything like that.

This made them feel a little embarrassed. Of course, unless there was a real emergency, they would never take leave casually and would complete their work diligently.

Xu Xiao is very satisfied with the special care the school has given his parents, and he will continue to work harder to live up to the school's trust in him.

After finishing the meal, Xu Xiao took the initiative to help her parents clean up the dishes and the kitchen.

"Xiaoxiao, if you don't have anything to do tonight, why don't you stay home?"

"Okay, then I'll report this to the dormitory supervisor."

Xu Xiao is already very content to have a separate study, where she can do her own things undisturbed.

After telling the dormitory supervisor and Dong Yi that he would be staying at Yandong Garden that night, Xu Xiao went to the study to continue his research on the topic he and Pan Hong were working on.

Before he knew it, he had entered a state of flow, his mind thinking about all sorts of possible ways to solve the problem.

What Xu Xiao didn't notice was that, along with his intense thinking, his progress on the entry task was also accumulating, gradually approaching the task requirements.

Finally, after completing the task requirements in the last minute, Xu Xiao received a message notification from the system.

[Host has completed the "Thinking" task: accumulated 100 hours of brainstorming]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the entry "One Mindset"]

[Initiating new term fusion with the host —]

Seeing these notifications, Xu Xiao felt a sense of joy.

"Is it finished? This is faster than I expected."

Xu Xiao originally thought that he and Pan Hong would have to completely solve the problem before they could accumulate enough time for brainstorming.

It seems that the difficulty of this project is quite compatible with Xu Xiao's current abilities, which is why his brain can remain in this critical state for a long time.

After the fusion of the entries was almost complete, Xu Xiao carefully felt the changes in his brain.

"It seems like—my brain really does feel different than before."

This feeling was very subtle. Xu Xiao felt a very subtle, yet real, cool sensation in her brain.

It's like a slightly rusty gear that's suddenly coated with a layer of lubricant, giving it a silky smooth feel.

However, Xu Xiao's feeling was indeed somewhat abstract. To truly verify the effects of the thought-words, more in-depth testing is still needed.

After a brief moment of reflection, Xu Xiao quickly returned to his research focus.

This time, Xu Xiao finally gained a clearer understanding of the effects of thought-based vocabulary.

He could clearly feel the improvement in his thinking speed, just like a computer getting a new generation of CPU.

Previously, knowledge that required step-by-step analysis can now be readily absorbed into one's consciousness in chunks, with the brain automatically completing the decomposition process.

When he recalls a certain knowledge point in his mind, not only will the simple definition and properties appear, but he will also immediately think of some other related knowledge.

This fluid thinking ability is something I didn't have before, and its effect far surpasses the simple improvement in focus brought about by the terms "focus" and "flow".

"I never imagined that a mere 10% improvement in thinking ability would have such a powerful effect."

This is no longer just a simple increase in numbers, but a qualitative improvement in thinking ability.

Xu Xiao is really smarter now than before!

Taking advantage of his peak mental state, Xu Xiao continued his research on the divergence problem of odd numbers m.

With the help of the thinking terms, Xu Xiao clearly felt that his research efficiency had improved a lot. Although he could not find a solution to the problem immediately, the speed of deduction was much faster than before.

If he were to take the CM0 exam now, he could probably finish all the questions in an hour.

Just then, Xu Xiao felt as if a lightning bolt had struck her brain, and the silky smooth feeling she had felt before became even stronger.
