Chapter 198: How did the top student spend his first day at school?
After saying goodbye to Professor Wang, Lin Chen took the paper that Professor Wang had given him and, instead of going straight back to his dormitory, went to the library of Longke University first.
When Lin Chen arrived at the library, he realized that he was still a freshman and did not have a library card.
But just then, the librarian suddenly asked, "You wouldn't happen to be Lin Chen, a freshman in the School of Mathematical Sciences this year, would you? The top scorer in the college entrance examination with a perfect score?"
"Yes."
Seeing Lin Chen nod, the other party immediately smiled and said, "It really is you. Then it's alright. If you want to read, go in, but you can't take the books with you."
"Thank you."
Lin Chen smiled and nodded, surprised that he had already become somewhat famous so soon after entering the school.
Even the librarian recognized him.
The library was almost empty when the paper was due. Lin Chen found a seat and began to carefully read the paper that Professor Wang had given him.
"The integration of applied mathematics with real-life applications? Predicting the spread of infectious diseases based on mathematical models? Mathematical models in statistical physics? The study of the structure of finite groups?"
After glancing at the titles of several papers, Lin Chen had a general understanding of the writing direction of mathematical papers.
Mathematics papers are generally divided into two types: those focusing on pure theoretical mathematics and those focusing on applied mathematics.
Compared to papers in other majors, mathematics papers are significantly more difficult to write. While the university-level mathematical knowledge provided by the system may be sufficient for solving problems, it is clearly not enough to complete a paper.
Let's touch the book!
It looks like I won't have time to rest for the next year.
Lin Chen got up and walked towards the bookshelf, touching all the books he saw to store them in the Dream Lab, while also planning the various tasks he needed to complete next.
First and foremost, of course, is Chen Xiaoxiao's birthday gift.
This time, he had made up his mind to carve a birthday gift for Chen Xiaoxiao out of jade.
However, jade seems to be a bit difficult to deal with, but fortunately Lin Chen knows who can help him.
This matter must be completed by the end of September at the latest.
Then there are system tasks.
Although I'm already in school, there's still a month left before the mission deadline. During this time, I might participate in some more competitions to accumulate some academic points.
It's been almost three months, and it's time to deliver on the EDA software I promised Meng Lan.
Listing all these things out, Lin Chen realized that he seemed even busier than he was in high school.
Well, it seems that with great power comes great responsibility.
We can only take one step at a time.
Lin Chen walked around for a while, not caring what he touched, and registered all the books in the Longke University Library before picking up a book called "Modern Control Engineering" and starting to read it.
Putting math aside for now, since we've decided to redeem EDA as soon as possible, we should at least activate the redemption conditions quickly.
He's currently only one thing away from redeeming the EDA software: his academic excellence points and his engineering knowledge level, which he hasn't yet reached LV2.
Lin Chen lost track of time once he started reading.
He didn't even realize he was being photographed.
The librarian put away his phone, looked at the photos he had just taken, and smiled.
"This freshman is amazing! No wonder he became the top scorer in the college entrance examination. We should definitely publicize his attitude towards learning!"
Soon after, a post appeared on the campus forum of Long University of Technology.
"Let me tell you how the top student spent their first day at school!"
The contents inside were photos of Lin Chen browsing books in the library.
The post was quickly pinned to the top by a series of replies shortly after it was published.
"Holy crap! Is today the first day of registration? And they're already spending their first day in the library? Now I know how they got perfect scores!"
"They've only just registered and they've already switched to 'academic superstar mode.' How are we mediocre students supposed to survive? It looks like I'm going to be overshadowed by the academic superstars for the next four years of university."
"I've been taking exams for three years in high school, please give me a break! I don't want to take them anymore!"
"Just lie down, I'm too tired! People smarter than us are working even harder, so what's the point of us working so hard?"
"Reject involution; I want to lie low!"
……
Before you knew it, it was evening.
Lin Chen, however, showed absolutely no intention of stopping.
He didn't put down the book until his phone rang.
"Boss Lin! Stop rolling around! Come out and eat!"
The call was from Lu Han.
"You guys eat, I'm not hungry yet."
Lin Chen hung up the phone without thinking.
But soon, the phone rang again. Lin Chen was about to hang up when he saw that it was Chen Xiaoxiao calling.
He immediately put down his book and answered, "Xiaoxiao?"
"Lin Chen, stop reading and come out to eat!"
Lin Chen was taken aback, wondering why Chen Xiaoxiao's words sounded so much like Lu Han's, when he heard her say:
"We're having a get-together in our dorm room today, and we're just missing you, so hurry up and come out!"
Since Chen Xiaoxiao had spoken, Lin Chen naturally couldn't refuse.
After putting the borrowed books back, Lin Chen left the library and headed straight for the school gate.
When he arrived, he found that both he and Chen Xiaoxiao's roommates were already there, waiting for him.
To Lin Chen's surprise, Chen Xiaoxiao also had some of his acquaintances with her.
"Lin Chen! I heard you've already started causing trouble again after just reporting for duty!"
"Wang Heming?"
Wang Heming smiled and waved at him from behind Chen Xiaoxiao.
Lin Chen couldn't help but glance at Lu Han beside him.
"Are you two just here to suck up to someone powerful?"
"Yes!"
Lu Han laughed without any attempt to hide his laughter: "I'm here to cling to your coattails, while Wang Heming is here to cling to Chen Xiaoxiao!"
Wang Heming grinned mischievously, put his arm around Chen Xiaoxiao, and said to Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, you stole my deskmate in high school, now you dare to try and steal her again!"
"Alright, Minmin."
Chen Xiaoxiao tried to shake off Wang Heming, but the other woman clung to her relentlessly. She could only laugh and cry at the same time as she introduced Wang Heming to Lin Chen first:
"Lin Chen, these two are also my roommates, Zhu Yi and Lu Qiong."
"You're Lin Chen? I've heard so much about you! I never imagined that this year's top scorer in the country would be from the same school as us!"
Zhu Yi smiled at Lin Chen.
"you flatter me!"
Lin Chen smiled and nodded.
"I am Lu Qiong, hello Lin Chen!"
Lu Qiong also took the initiative to greet Lin Chen.
Compared to Chen Xiaoxiao, Zhu Yi and Lu Qiong, while not stunningly beautiful, are still quite good-looking.
In Longyan University of Technology, where there are more men than women, she can be considered a beauty.
Adding to the mix was the ethereal beauty of Chen Xiaoxiao, which made Chen Hao and Shi Jun quite embarrassed, their faces showing shyness.
It wasn't until everyone found a restaurant called People's Commune, sat down, and drank a few cups of wine that the two started to liven up.
Chen Hao smiled and picked up a bottle of baijiu, saying, "We've met here today by chance, so I propose we all have a toast!"
"Good good!"
"For the sake of our acquaintance!"
Everyone laughed and cheered.
To everyone's surprise, of the eight people present, only Lin Chen managed to finish the entire contents of the blanket in one go.
That glass contains three ounces of baijiu!
Chen Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to be such a good drinker?"
"so so."
Lin Chen said modestly, but that only fueled Chen Hao's desire to challenge him.
He's from Xichuan, where people love to drink; they drink alcohol like it's water.
Chen Hao had been drinking with his family since high school. He refused to believe that if his grades were worse than Lin Chen's, his drinking capacity would be even worse.
Chen Hao tapped his cup on the table and suggested, "We haven't decided on seniority in our dorm yet, right? I have a suggestion: how about we have a drinking contest? Whoever can drink the most will be the leader!"
"Okay."
Shi Jun nodded. He was from Qin Chuan and wasn't afraid of drinking.
"sure!"
Lu Han's eyes lit up. He had learned to drink when he accompanied his father to social events since he was a child.
Feeling that he had a rare opportunity to beat Lin Chen in something, he was eager to give it a try.
As for Lin Chen, he had even less objection.
Alcohol tolerance is actually related to the body's metabolism.
Lin Chen's body had already been enhanced by the system. Although he couldn't be called a superman, he could easily rival an athlete.
Why would he be afraid of drinking?
