Chapter 19: Harmonious Student Relationship

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A new week had begun.

The final exams had kicked off. There were two exams every day, and everyone was nervously coping with them.

For Li Yi, his mood did not change. He dealt with them calmly.

The Computer Science major had set up a major branching event during the first semester of his sophomore year. At that time, Li Yi had chosen to branch out into the Computer Technology major.

Among the first-year compulsory courses were C/C++, Mathematical Analysis, Discrete Mathematics, Advanced Algebra, … The second-year compulsory courses included Data Structure and Algorithms, Principles of Computing Computer Composition, Principles of Operating Systems, Computer Networks… Third-year students begin to take specialized courses: Principles of Database, Principles of Artificial Intelligence, and Principles of Compilation, … There are experimental courses for all majors except mathematics, and the contents of the experiments are basically the same as those of theoretical courses, …

Among them, there were also elective programming and comprehensive practice of data structure, algorithmic design and application foundation, embedding in the system, … and so on. There were also elective courses as well as some public courses.

Meanwhile, in his spare time, Li Yi taught himself other programming languages, such as Python, Java.

Li Yi had not wasted his three years in university.

After accidentally obtaining the mysterious ‘library’, Li Yi studied even harder and devoted all his energy to it.

With the tenfold time enhancement, his enhanced brain, and the new thinking logic bestowed by the alien civilization, Li Yi had grown to an incredible level in just two or three months.

Now, Li Yi could barely feel any difficulty in the final exam that tested his learning results.

There was no need for him to flip through the open-book exam papers. Li Yi finished them in one go. If nothing went wrong, he would get full marks.

For several exams in a row, Li Yi was almost always the first to hand in his papers.

After the last exam.

After the exam, they couldn’t leave. Everyone waited at the classroom door for the class meeting.

“Li, have you given up? I hope not!”

It was rare to see Li Yi awake. Guo Jiaxiang walked up to him and asked with concern.

In Guo Jiaxiang’s impression, Li Yi had always been a diligent and studious student. The changes in him this semester had greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations.

“Give up? What did I give up on?” Li Yi was baffled by his question.

“The exam! I saw that you were always the first to hand in your paper. Did you fail to finish it?” Guo Jiaxiang asked in surprise.

“Jiaxiang, what are you bringing this up? Li Yi fell asleep in class this semester. What else can he do if he doesn’t give up?” Just as Guo Jiaxiang finished speaking, a reproachful voice sounded behind him.

Li Yi chuckled and looked behind Guo Jiaxiang. His three roommates were walking towards them.

It was Ye Hong who spoke. Behind him was Xu Wenting and Wang Shijun.

“Li Yi, it’s rare to see you awake this semester. Are you okay?” Wendin asked with concern. He felt that Li Yi had suffered a blow that made him give up.

“If you failed the subject, just retake it. You have to raise your spirits!” Wang Shijun looked at Li Yi sympathetically and said encouragingly.

Li Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at that. He didn’t even know how to answer them.

At this moment, Zhang Haitao, who was beside Li Yi, laughed and said, “Don’t worry about it. Even if you fail, it won’t be Li Yi’s turn.”

“Really? I’ve never seen him take class seriously!” Guo Jiaxiang asked in disbelief.

“Why would he be attending classes when he has already learned everything? If you don’t believe me, you’ll know when the results are out. It’ll definitely scare you,” Zhang Haitao said with a smile.

Guo Jiaxiang and the others were skeptical. Zhang Haitao had spoken so confidently that they couldn’t argue anymore. The truth would be revealed when the results were out.

“I see. Li Yi, how could you be so secretive? I was just worrying about you!” Guo Jiaxiang looked at Li Yi and teased him with a smile.

“Don’t listen to Haitao,” Li Yi said defensively, smiling.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Let’s have a good summer break first. Are you guys going home? I’ve found a company to work for the next two months. They still want to hire people. Do you guys want to come along?” Guo Jiaxiang looked at Li Yi and Zhang Haitao and asked.

“Work? What do you do?” Zhang Haitao asked with interest.

“I’m going to the computer town to work as a technician. I’ll use the next two months to get my driver’s license. I’m going to hire someone to share a house outside the school. Are you guys coming?” Guo Jiaxiang looked at Zhang Haitao as Li Yi asked.

“What about Shijun and the others? Aren’t you going to share a room with them?” Zhang Haitao pointed at Guo Jiaxiang’s three roommates.

“They’re all going back home!” Guo Jiaxiang said, discouraged.

“What summer job? We’re going to intern next year. Of course we have to use the last summer vacation to have fun!” Wang Shijun defended himself.

“That’s right. If you want to work, you can do it in the future!” Xu Wenting agreed.

Hearing this, Zhang Haitao immediately hesitated. He was hesitant about working for the summer vacation.

“Forget it! I’ll go back too. If I want to take work in the summer break, I can’t do it in Yang City. The money I earn isn’t enough to pay the rent!” Zhang Haitao thought for a moment and decided.

“Li Yi, what about you?” Guo Jiaxiang placed his last hope on Li Yi.

Li Yi didn’t come from a well-to-do family. He took summer vacation jobs during his freshman and sophomore years. They’d even worked together on summer vacations, handing out flyers and tutoring together.

“I won’t be taking the summer job. However, we can still sign up for the driver’s license test together,” he decided with a smile.

“I see! I understand. I’ll ask the others.” Guo Jiaxiang nodded in disappointment.

With that, Guo Jiaxiang turned around to look for the other students.

“Jiaxiang, wait,” Li Yi suddenly said, stopping Guo Jiaxiang.

Guo Jiaxiang stopped and turned to look at Li Yi in confusion.

“A summer job in a computer town would be a waste of what you’ve learned. I can introduce you to an IT company. Interested?” Li Yi smiled mysteriously and made the introductions.

Li Yi had a good impression of Guo Jiaxiang. He was a hardworking and good student. He decided to help him.

Guo Jiaxiang’s eyes lit up. “Really? How’s the treatment?”

“It’s a technical job that leans towards system security. The treatment is good. If you’re free tomorrow, I’ll take you there and you can find out more about it.” Li Yi smiled and introduced.

“Okay!” Guo Jiaxiang nodded happily.

“Old Li, where did you get this information from? Is it reliable?” Zhang Haitao looked at Li Yi and asked in surprise.

“Yes, very reliable. Would you like to join us?” Li Yi asked with a confident nod and a smile.

Zhang Haitao hesitated. From Li Yi’s description, the job was a good one. He should be able to learn a lot. However, he couldn’t bear to part with his summer freedom.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Haitao shook his head and refused. “Forget it, next time! I still want to go home.”

Li Yi nodded, but didn’t say anything. They’d been in the same dorm, so it was okay to give him another chance in the future. He could ask him again next year, when he started his internship!
