Cultivation Shura Field

Xu Zhe talked about everything he had done, so Song Xingye's notes were scattered. After he left, Song Xingye tried to summarize these experiences and skills and reorganized them.

Then she closed the notebook with satisfaction.

After finishing the meal prepared by Xu Zhe, she had already washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen and dining table. Now, looking at the organized notes, Song Xingye felt that she had gained a lot from the home economics class at noon today.

Xu Zhe had just been sitting on the sofa, reading some technology news on his phone. At this moment, he walked over to the girl and said, "Is everything done? Let's go. You can tutor Feifei today, and I can sit next to you and use the computer."

Song Xingye smiled and said, "Let's split up. I'm going to ride my bike there, which is faster than you walking."

Xu Zhe nodded: "Okay, I'll go first."

Watching his back as he walked out, Song Xingye thought secretly - now they were even going to Feifei's house separately, there shouldn't be any clues, maybe Feifei found out?

----

In the afternoon, when Xu Zhe arrived at Tang Lingfei's house, he saw the two girls sitting side by side on the bed, having fun.

He leaned over and took a look.

Tang Lingfei was playing Monster Hunter again, while Song Xingye was watching from the side, cheering her on from time to time.

So Xu Zhe asked, "Xingye, you don't want to play? You just watch Feifei play?"

Song Xingye smiled and said, "I just tried it, but my hands were too clumsy, so it didn't work. But watching Feifei play, it seemed quite interesting."

"Then continue playing."

Before Xu Zhe finished speaking, Pingguo's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was from Shen Lan.

Before answering the call, he noticed someone's gaze out of the corner of his eye. He glanced in the direction they were looking and saw Song Xingye quietly looking away, as if he was still concentrating on watching Tang Lingfei play games.

Xu Zhe answered the call and asked, "Hello, Senior Sister Shen Lan, what's wrong?"

At this point, Tang Lingfei, who was busy killing monsters, also paused the game. She and her best friend looked at each other, both with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.

Shen Lan on the phone said, "I have recently passed the preliminary exam for NOIP registration at school. This means that starting from next semester, I will compete in computer competitions."

Xu Zhe said sincerely: "Congratulations!"

As a programmer in his previous life, he had certainly heard of computer competitions. In middle school, the highest level was the IOI, which was open to the whole world, and each country could only send four middle school students to participate. Needless to say, those who could participate were the best of the best, and they didn't need to worry about grades at all.

In the NOI competition, the highest level in the country, the top 50 gold medalists can directly apply to the two best universities in the country. And the NOIP that Shen Lan just mentioned is a provincial selection competition. If you do well in the exam, you can become a candidate for the provincial team of the NOI competition.

Shen Lan: "I heard from our competition teacher that last year a junior high school student participated in the high school competition in advance and won the provincial first place. Then he signed a score reduction agreement with Hangzhou University, which is one of the top universities in the country. In other words, as long as he can pass the first-tier line, Hangzhou University will admit him."

Xu Zhe was a little surprised: "Is there still such an operation?"

In his previous life, he only knew that the top 50 gold medalists could be admitted to Tianhua University and Imperial Capital University, but he didn't know what other opportunities there were. After all, he had no access to such connections or information since he was a child, especially in middle school.

Shen Lan: "I think, with your ability, you can definitely be the same as him. It would be great if you could sign a contract with a top university in advance?"

"really……"

Xu Zhe fell into deep thought.

He knew his own weight very well. With his "early wisdom" and the accumulation of his previous life, it was still possible for him to make some splashes in provincial computer competitions. But if he wanted to go further, such as winning a gold medal, he had no hope. However, if he wanted to get a leniency from a top university, a provincial NOIP seemed not enough.

But if junior high school students can skip grades to compete, the threshold can be lowered further...

Shen Lan suddenly said, "I took the college entrance examination two years earlier than you. If I rely solely on the college entrance examination, I am still unsure of which university I will go to. You should be the same, right? But if we use the competition as a stepping stone, then by next semester we can be sure to go to the same university."

Xu Zhe: “That’s true.”

Shen Lan immediately added: "Wouldn't it be very convenient to go to college together and make games then?"

Xu Zhe: “Indeed, it is very convenient.”

"Okay, that's it. You can ask the teacher how to register. The NOIP exam venue for next semester will still be in the provincial capital. I'll be waiting for you there then. Bye..."

Shen Lan's voice was filled with a relaxed smile.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhe looked up and saw the two girls sitting on the bed staring at him quietly, and they had stopped playing games.

Tang Lingfei couldn't help but ask, "Is it Shen Lan who is looking for you? What does she want from you?"

Xu Zhe: “About the competition.”

Song Xingye: "Is it still a math competition? Teacher Zhao seemed to have said in the office recently that he really hopes you can try again next year to see if you can win the first prize..."

Xu Zhe shook his head and said, "My math is just so-so, so I don't expect to win first prize. In comparison, I can try the informatics competition."

"Informatics?" Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye were both stunned. Apparently, they had hardly heard of this subject or the competition.

Xu Zhe explained: "It's computer programming. This is my old profession, and nowadays, many people have never heard of it. The competition should be much lower than that of mathematics, physics and chemistry competitions."

In a few years, the intensity of competition may be different.

Song Xingye asked again: "If I win a place in this competition, will it help me get into college?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "Yes, and it helped a lot."

Song Xingye bit her lower lip and couldn't help but be dazed.

Tang Lingfei sighed sadly: "Oh, if only I could go to college if I was good at playing games..."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "If playing games can really get you into college, the competition will be too fierce, and games will become a form of torture."

To make up for last night’s update…

Then, let me make a point here: for the sake of the smoothness of the plot, the author cannot bring up all the details of the competition and entrepreneurship, after all, the main storyline is still a Shura field. So there will be a certain degree of simplification, of course, the simplification is also within the reasonable range in the author's eyes.

152. Chapter 152 151 Strange Female High School Student

152.

2023-09-17

Even though it was the best experimental high school in the province, there was still a thriving internet cafe at the school gate. Shen Lan was already a paid member of this internet cafe and was a regular customer.

Seeing the short-haired girl in school uniform coming in, the network administrator at the counter greeted her enthusiastically, "Beautiful lady, is it the computer at the window? It's vacant."

Shen Lan smiled and handed over the ID card she borrowed from her senior: "Thank you."

The photo on the ID card doesn't look like the real person at all, but this is not surprising. The network administrator certainly won't bother underage customers at this stage. However, this also means that her name cannot be learned from the ID card.

As a boy in his twenties, it is normal to think too much when seeing such a beautiful girl.

After scanning her ID card, Shen Lan walked straight to the machine by the window, sat down, and turned it on.

This is the best ventilated area in the entire Internet cafe. In order to reduce the smell of cigarettes, Shen Lan always chooses this area. Compared with her own billiard room, the smell of cigarettes in this Internet cafe is even stronger, which makes her feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, the screen of the machine chosen by Shen Lan was facing the wall, so it was difficult to peek at the screen unless you deliberately walked behind her.

Customers come and go in the Internet cafe, and from time to time someone comes to open a computer, or buy a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of drink. The network administrator has a lot of free time after serving. When he is free, he can't help but glance at the computer by the window.

The fluorescent light from the computer screen made the girl's face look like a solitary orchid in a valley.

Her behavior was different from that of most customers. She would occasionally tap on the keyboard, but not very fast, rather slowly, in stark contrast to the girl playing Audition not far away.

The female Audition player typed on the keyboard like a musical instrument, and a percussion instrument at that. The continuous and rhythmic "pa pa" sounds were quite refreshing.

There were also players playing Dota nearby, mostly boys, and they were typing very fast, but there were no rules. In addition to the keyboard tapping sound, they also shouted things like "Why don't you pull out your eyes", "Save me", "Fuck you" and so on...

Shen Lan often presses the keyboard a few times after a long while, and her force is not strong, which gives people a very calm feeling. She also does not use only a few keys.

Based on my experience in Internet cafes, these customers are usually typing. And those who type in Internet cafes are mostly chatting online.

The network administrator couldn't help but think to himself - she is so beautiful, is she in an online relationship? No, although she is beautiful, she looks cold and doesn't look like someone who would be in an online relationship.

Seeing that there were no guests for the time being, the network administrator took advantage of this free time and quietly walked behind the machine, that is, behind Shen Lan... and then he was dumbfounded.

The screen was not the chat window he had expected, but a strange interface that he had never seen on the screens of other customers in the Internet cafe.

So the network administrator couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"

Shen Lan glanced back and saw that the other party was probably just curious, so she replied calmly: "Compiler."

Network administrator: "Did you compile the code?"

Shen Lan: “Yes.”

The network administrator said awkwardly: "I am just a small network administrator, not the owner of the Internet cafe. Even if you are the owner, you don't need to program yourself..."

Shen Lan did not continue the topic, but turned back and continued to stare at the code.

The network administrator asked again: "Can you really program?"

Shen Lan turned back again and frowned slightly: "Shouldn't I need to prove it?"

Network administrator: "Uh, no, I don't mean to ask you to prove it. I'm just a little curious. Are you a high school student at Experimental Middle School? I see that you are wearing a school uniform."

Shen Lan: “Yes.”

Network administrator: "But, I heard your school is very strict..."

Shen Lan explained in the simplest terms: "I program to participate in competitions. Usually, I use the computers in the school computer room. But the computer room is closed on weekends, so I can only come to the Internet cafe. Any other questions?"

Seeing that the girl seemed a little impatient, the network administrator could only wave his hand and said, "No, there is no problem."

Then Shen Lan continued to stare at the screen.

At this time, a new customer came to the counter. The network administrator hurried back to the counter to help the customer scan his ID card.

After brushing, he was free again.

Looking in the direction of the short-haired girl, the network administrator muttered: "It's really strange to come to the Internet cafe to program..."

But not long after, the situation over there seemed to have changed a little.

Shen Lan was still staring at the screen, but her delicate face, which did not need any makeup, had a much softer expression. The corners of her mouth even curled up slightly, outlining a smile.

Noticing this, the network administrator couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Could it be some boy who caused such a change in the girl? What kind of bastard could be so lucky?

----

Xu Zhe turned on the front camera of his laptop for the first time.

The computer's configuration was not high, and the camera was even worse. My face was stuck in the picture and was quite blurry.

The image quality of the one opposite was better, allowing him to see the girl's smile clearly.

The one who was video chatting with Xu Zhe at this time was Shen Lan.

She just sent a message saying that she was programming in an Internet cafe and encountered a difficult problem and wanted to consult him. Through video, she could explain the problem more vividly.

Do I need to watch a video to talk about code?

Xu Zhe expressed his doubts about this, but since Shen Lan insisted on driving, he followed suit.

This was the first time the two had met since they had parted ways during the winter vacation. Although they were meeting over a network cable and in standard definition, it was obvious that Shen Lan seemed quite happy.

Xu Zhe's emotions were also aroused. However, when Shen Lan read the question to him and sent him a screenshot, he fell silent.

After five minutes of silence...

Shen Lan smiled and said, "You don't know how to do it either?"

Xu Zhe sighed: "If I can't do it, then I can't do it. Why are you so happy?"

Shen Lan: "If you can easily solve the problem that stumped me, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?"

"Then please wait a moment."

After saying that, Xu Zhe opened three search engines, entered the keywords of this difficult problem and searched.

After searching carefully again, I found the solution, generated the answer, and then took a screenshot and sent it over.

Then Xu Zhe began to appreciate Shen Lan's expression.

Looking at this extremely intelligent senior schoolmate with a dazed look on her face, I felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

"how did you do that……"

"Programmers, make good use of search engines."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lan was stunned for two seconds, then she felt angry and wanted to laugh: "Just say you found it on the Internet..."
