Cultivation Shura Field

Xu Zhe subconsciously shuddered, almost thinking that the instructor was looking for trouble with him. But looking at the head teacher next to him, he realized that maybe he had something else to ask him?

He took a few steps and walked out of the class formation.

But then the instructor suddenly yelled, "What did I say? You have to report everything you do!"

Xu Zhe immediately stood up straight and shouted, "Report! Xu Zhe, step out!"

The instructor was immediately satisfied. He couldn't find any fault with the boy's reaction speed and spirit.

"Okay, your teacher wants to talk to you about something, so I'll give you some temporary leave. Go ahead."

Xu Zhe nodded and followed the head teacher. He did not ask the instructor how long this "temporary leave" would last. Even if the serious business was finished, wouldn't it be good to take some time off?

Not long after they walked out, Teacher Liu exclaimed, "You are really amazing..."

Xu Zhe: "What's so great about it?"

Teacher Liu: "Someone from Shanghai Jiaotong University came to see you and said they were helping you with the paperwork for participating in the Science and Technology Innovation Competition. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, someone from our school has participated in this competition before, but you are the first one to have someone help you with the paperwork."

Xu Zhe thought about it and immediately realized what was going on.

Before he graduated from junior high school, he received a call from Associate Professor Zou Tianyan of Jiaotong University, saying that he could help him register for the Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition and compete for the grand prize with his mobile game project. The prize money was only a small amount, but it could help him improve his qualifications and strive to get directly recommended from a reduced score.

After that phone call, Xu Zhe sent some game development materials to Associate Professor Zou, which was enough to prove that he was the independent producer of the game. However, he doubted whether the mobile game was positive enough and whether it would be treated with prejudice. So after that, he didn't pay much attention to the progress of this matter.

But what's going on now?

Xu Zhe followed the head teacher to an office. There were no other teachers here, only a sturdy young man.

"Hello, Xu Zhe. My name is Shang Pengyu, and I'm Professor Zou's graduate student. I'm here mainly to discuss the science and technology innovation competition with you."

"Hello, may I ask, are you also studying computer science?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"Uh……"

Xu Zhe felt that this senior brother was not very similar. Not to mention his muscular figure of nearly 1.9 meters, he didn't wear glasses and had thick hair on his head. How could he have the temperament of a programmer at all?

Shang Pengyu smiled and said, "Then I will call you Junior Brother. To be honest, the Science and Technology Innovation Competition is very dependent on connections, so I think you will definitely be in Teacher Zou's group in a few years, so I called you in advance, is there any problem?"

Xu Zhe touched the tip of his nose: "I'm fine..."

But brother, is it really okay for you to talk about "connections" so bluntly?

Teacher Liu Shu next to him was also very conscious: "How about I go first, you guys chat slowly."

Only Xu Zhe and Shang Pengyu were left in the office.

Teacher Liu Shu understood how much the school valued Xu Zhe, and since the topic just now seemed a bit shocking, he left temporarily.

Shang Pengyu explained: "The Science and Technology Innovation Competition is really different from other competitions. Other competitions are basically about solving problems, and whoever scores the highest within a limited time wins. It's clear at a glance. But you middle school students, can you really come up with any technological innovation?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "Indeed, let alone middle school students, undergraduates are just laying the foundation, graduate students are just getting started in scientific research, and doctoral students are just helping out in the group."

Shang Pengyu spread his hands and said, "Yes, so graduate students like me are sent out by the instructor to do chores... Don't mind me saying this, Junior Brother, your work can also be considered chores, but it is very important. Teacher Zou has repeatedly told me to do it seriously for you."

Xu Zhe clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother."

"Where did I just talk about..." Shang Pengyu scratched his ears, "Oh, let's talk about the Science and Technology Innovation Competition. I saw a lot of winners' lists, including DNA sequencing. You said, can it be done in a middle school laboratory? this one?"

"Obviously not."

Shang Pengyu sighed, "Our group is one of the best in the country in artificial intelligence. But I only saw a high school student's project, and it was also about AI algorithms. Without saying much, is it possible that the high school student's level is at the same level as mine?"

Xu Zhe: "The water is very deep."

Shang Pengyu: "Some unsophisticated professors took their own project results, or the research results of their graduate students and doctoral students, and pretended to be middle school students to participate in the competition."

"Why would university professors participate in this kind of competition?" Xu Zhe suddenly realized halfway through his speech, "Oh, yes, these professors also have sons and daughters."

Shang Pengyu smiled and said, "Not only that, they also have grandchildren!"

Xu Zhe suddenly realized: "So winning the science and technology competition award will make it easier for their children to go to prestigious schools, right? This is the value of the academic tycoon..."

Shang Pengyu quickly made a silent gesture and whispered, "I'm telling you these things here, don't tell anyone else!"

Xu Zhe couldn't hold it in any longer.

Just now, who was the one who spoke harsh words right in front of Teacher Liu? Who is the one who is taking the initiative to reveal the inside story without waiting for questions?

Xu Zhe: "Brother, don't worry, I have always kept my mouth shut."

"Well, let's get down to business now. I've prepared all the materials for the competition, but there are some places that require your signature in person."

As he said this, Shang Pengyu opened a file bag and took out a lot of paper materials from it.

Xu Zhe glanced at it briefly and signed according to his senior brother's instructions.

And this senior couldn't stop talking: "I think we are still conservative. I went to the United States as an exchange student two years ago. The academic elites there are so powerful that they don't need to participate in any scientific and technological innovation competitions. You can get into a prestigious school with just a letter of introduction."

Xu Zhe cleared his throat and changed the subject: "I found that the entry documents you helped me organize were not about my game project, but about a part of game development."

Shang Pengyu smiled and said, "Yes, the judges have to consider the social significance. It's not good to just say that the project is a game. But some technologies used in the process of making games can be reported. Then we can talk about how many sales the games made with this technology have. Hey, there will be practical application value."

Xu Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "I feel a bit at a disadvantage. My application project is about the application and debugging of the cocos2d engine, while others are applying for DNA sequencing. I don't think I have much chance of winning."

Shang Pengyu waved his hand carelessly: "Don't worry about this. And don't forget, your achievements are all your own. You are really different from those academic tycoon kids."

Xu Zhe stopped writing and said, "That's good. Now that these are signed, is there anything else to do?"

Shang Pengyu smiled and said, "No, there is nothing for you to do for now. Just wait for the selection. There is nothing to do today..."

"Wait a minute, Senior Brother," Xu Zhe said before the other party finished speaking, "Are you busy these days?"

Shang Pengyu: "I'm not busy. I'm going to fly back to Shanghai tomorrow. I'll just hang out here today."

Xu Zhe: "I can be your tour guide this afternoon. But, brother, you have to tell our class teacher that we have some serious business to do, such as going to my office to find research and development materials or something like that."

Shang Pengyu took a look at the camouflage uniform on the junior brother and suddenly realized: "Are you hiding from military training? Okay, we must help you with this!"

----

In the evening, when the first day of military training ended, Song Xingye had just walked out of the playground when she saw her best friend coming towards her.

Tang Lingfei asked, "Do you want to eat together tonight? I was so hungry at noon that I went to the cafeteria alone. I'm sorry, Xiao Ye."

Song Xingye shook his head: "There's nothing to be sorry about."

If she really wanted to say sorry, it wasn't clear who was sorry. She had lunch with Xu Zhe at noon.

Tang Lingfei took her hand and said, "Let's walk faster. Everyone must have a big appetite after a day of military training. I don't know if the food in the cafeteria is enough..."

"Feifei, wait a minute, what do you see here?"

Song Xingye said this and took out his cell phone to show her.

Tang Lingfei only took a glance, and her eyes brightened instantly. Because she saw that it was a short message from Xu Zhe:

[You haven't had dinner yet? Come to my house. I've prepared dinner and cold drinks. ]

Song Xingye put away his phone and asked, "Are you going?"

Tang Lingfei said excitedly: "Needless to say? Let's go now!"

The two girls didn't even have time to change into their camouflage uniforms and went straight to Xu Zhe's residence.

It took them only a few minutes to arrive.

Xu Zhe opened the door to welcome them in, and casually said, "I'm busy today and don't have time to cook, so I ordered takeout pizza. There are drinks in the refrigerator, including cola, coconut milk, and iced black tea. You can choose yourselves."

"Great!" Tang Lingfei cheered and asked, "By the way, why did you suddenly call us over today?"

Xu Zhe: "Because I found an excuse to slack off this afternoon, and I couldn't bear to think that you still had to stand at attention and suffer..."

Tang Lingfei: "Good for you, you can even be lazy during military training!"

Song Xingye suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to give a speech at the end of the military training in a few days? Have you finished writing the speech?"

Xu Zhe: “It’s already been done.”

Song Xingye: "Is it an ordinary speech that follows the rules?"

Xu Zhe: "I guess so. After all, I searched several copies using Baidu and then arranged them in order. To be honest, when the student representatives spoke on stage, did anyone really listen carefully?"

Song Xingye nodded to show his understanding.

Tang Lingfei waved her fist and said, "You are so lazy!"

2023-10-14

Shen Lan was sitting in the school dormitory, staring at the laptop computer that nominally belonged to the company, her eyes gradually becoming dull.

Her recent programming progress has been very smooth.

After getting involved in this field of work, she felt more and more that this was a perfect fit for her. The nested logic might make others dizzy, but Shen Lan felt that it was like playing a maze game, and it was the kind of game where she could move the walls of the maze by herself, which was particularly interesting.

But no matter how interesting the work is, it is still work after all.

Today is Sunday, the only day off for senior high school students in our school. Shen Lan did not relax, have fun, or chat like other students, but continued to work hard on programming and making games. But by the evening, the mental fatigue finally made her unable to hold on.

When her roommate passed by her, he suddenly asked, "Are you still working on the code? Aren't you tired?"

Shen Lan yawned: "A little bit."

"I don't think you are tired at all. You should take a rest."

"Well, that's fine..."

Shen Lan saved the progress, closed the computer, took out her cell phone and called Xu Zhe.

She knew that the boy should still be in military training today, but he should be free at this time. As for who to play with, Shen Lan only had this one person in her mind.

----

"Do you want me to come to you in front of your classmates?"

Shen Lan asked on the phone.

Xu Zhe was eating lunch in the cafeteria at this time, and there was no one else around him.

Shen Lan didn't get a response from him, so she continued, "It's just a way to comfort your hard-working brother. Military training is tiring, maybe you need some water or an iced drink. When you guys are disbanded and resting, I'll bring it to you, isn't that good?"

These words reminded Xu Zhe of the past.

At the sports meeting in the first grade of junior high school, Shen Lan brought a bottle of mineral water and came to Xu Zhe, who had just won the long-distance running championship, to announce her presence to everyone.

Now that her first year of high school has just begun, she wants to do it again?

Is this a declaration of sovereignty?

Xu Zhe hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better not to. I seem to be a little famous in the class now. There's no need to be in the spotlight anymore."

Shen Lan chuckled and said, "Okay, then I won't go. But it's impossible for you to avoid being in the spotlight, right? I heard that you are the representative of the freshmen of your class. You will speak after the military training, and then you will be in the spotlight in the whole grade, not just your class."

Xu Zhe: "This is a different kind of attention-seeking. We are all top students in my class, and it is very likely that they will surpass me in academic performance. But if I want to ask a sister as dazzling as you to bring me water, that is something I can't do no matter how high my scores are or how good my performance in the competition is."

"Hahaha..." Shen Lan couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Have you started to learn to enjoy life?"

Xu Zhe: "Why do you ask that?"

Shen Lan: "Because you said your classmates will surpass you in the future. In the three years of junior high school, it seems that you have not let anyone surpass you in academic performance, right?"

Xu Zhe: "Really not. Song Xingye surpassed me only once. And you really overestimate me. Our school has gathered the strongest group of test-takers in the province. It is impossible for me to be ranked at the top."

Shen Lan: "Because you still want to start a business and make games?"
