The next morning, when Zhao Yi went to school, he felt relaxed and in a much better mood.

There is a saying, ’where there is nothing to worry about, there is a light heart.’

Now that his thesis was done and the Mathematical Olympiad was over, he could enjoy school life whole-heartedly.

In the morning, he studied.

He needed to work harder in the integrated science subjects.

Physics was relatively easier, with fewer knowledge points and a series of analytical and computational problems. However, it was not easy to remember the little-known trivia in chemistry and biology, even if they had only been read once or twice.

Zhao Yi couldn’t help but look forward to his next ability, "If it was related to memory, that would be great!"

"I want... to have a photographic memory!"

Memory could be quite a headache, especially when there was so much to remember and it was difficult to keep everything straight.

Zhao Yi had to admit that he indeed had no talent in terms of memory and recitation.

Of course.

No matter the subject, there was a limit to the knowledge points; as long as he made an effort to learn and memorize, he would eventually remember them after multiple viewings.

That’s what he needed to work on.

During the break.

Zhao Linlin was sulking at her desk.

Lin Xiaoqing went over and expressed concern, "Linlin, are you okay? Aren’t you sick?"

Zhao Yi looked over.

Zhao Linlin just pouted, as if she was unhappy but certainly not sick.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Xiaoqing continued to ask.

Zhao Linlin pulled her closer and whispered, her voice slightly melancholic, "Aunt Niu is really dating now, with Teacher Xue..."

"Why are you worrying about this!"

Zhao Yi couldn’t help but comment, "This is definitely a good thing to celebrate! You even said before that it would be nice for Teacher Niu to find a partner."

Zhao Linlin replied unhappily, "She’s my aunt."

"So?"

Zhao Linlin didn’t know how to explain, after hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "You wouldn’t understand as a boy. When we girls really fall in love, our hearts are devoted to the other person. That’s how my aunt is. Lately, she doesn’t even care about me."

She pouted childishly.

Zhao Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

Lin Xiaoqing also found it a little amusing, but didn’t say anything.

It seemed that Zhao Linlin was jealous of Xue Pinggui taking away Niu Lianhua’s attention, as she barely had her parents around and only had Niu Lianhua to watch over her.

"It’s just a lack of love!"

Zhao Yi quickly caught on, but instead of saying it out loud, he grinned, "I’ll help you think of a solution."

"What solution?"

The two girls both looked at him.

Zhao Yi laughed, "It’s simple, you just need to find a boyfriend."

"Tsk!"

Zhao Linlin disdainfully replied, "I’m still in high school. And besides, I have high standards." She counted on her fingers, "He needs to be tall, handsome, have a good personality, and also..."

Zhao Yi pointed at himself in surprise, "Aren’t you talking about me? Tall, handsome, good personality... Linlin, coincidentally, my bed is two meters wide, I only need one meter to sleep, the other half is up for rent..."

"I spit!"

Zhao Linlin’s face turned red, and she laughed out of anger.

[Flirting, target: Zhao Linlin, Study Coin +2.]

Lin Xiaoqing also glared at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi turned to her with a smile, "Qingqing, if she’s not considering, why don’t you think about it?"

Lin Xiaoqing rolled her eyes, "My dad said that I can’t go more than 100 meters away from home at night. Your bed space should be reserved for..." She looked at Zhao Linlin, then quickly turned to look behind her, "Leave it for Sun Liang!"

"What are you calling me for?"

Sun Liang looked up, not understanding.

The two girls laughed together.

"Not allowed to go more than 100 meters from home at night? That’s a good rule!" Zhao Yi carefully pondered, perhaps he should move earlier?

The house had already been handed over.

The homeowner needed money urgently, and even reduced the price by 20,000. To pay the full amount, they just needed to sign a contract with the agency and then pay the money to transfer the ownership. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Zhao Yi planned to pack up and move when he got home that night.

The main reason why he wanted to move quickly was the robot and telescope; there was not enough space even to store them in the current location. Having a large bedroom and a study would allow him to put them away and set them up.

For Zhao Yi, moving was just about changing the place he lived, and he didn’t have much to pack. If he lacked anything, he could just buy new ones.

Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi were different.

As soon as the couple heard Zhao Yi say he wanted to move, they immediately started discussing, such as what things to move and when to hold a ’housewarming banquet’. One important matter was that their new place was a bit far from their workplace.

If they really move, Zhao Zhenxi and Liu Jing would have to spend a lot more time on the road to work.

Actually, they never considered moving. They bought the house for Zhao Yi to use after he gets married. The sudden mention of moving made them feel a bit panicked.

Zhao Yi simply said, "How about I move by myself! You guys can stay at home first, and when you want to move, you can."

"Is that safe?"

"Can you handle it yourself?"

Zhao Yi replied, "I’m a guy, there’s nothing unsafe about it. Uncle Lin lives nearby, and he’s a cop, if anything happens I’ll just ask him for help!"

This reassured Liu Jing.

Although they were not familiar with Lin Xudong, they saw Lin Xudong interacting with Zhao Yi closely that day. Lin’s daughter and Zhao Yi were classmates. Living nearby meant they could watch out for each other.

Zhao Yi knew his mom was worried about not taking care of him well. He had been living at home since he was a kid, and it was normal for her to worry.

He continued, "And, when I go to college later, I will definitely have to adapt to the new environment. Living alone is very common, I’m already eighteen..."

It took Zhao Yi quite some time to persuade Liu Jing and make her reluctantly nod in agreement.

When he returned to his room, he started packing his things. In fact, there was not much to pack. He could leave anything he didn’t need at home, and there weren’t many things he needed. The biggest items were just his quilt and pillow. A small cart would be enough to transport everything.

After packing casually, he started flipping through his previous math reference books. Content about higher mathematics was still a bit complicated, and once it involved ’derivatives’, the complexity would increase geometrically.

Zhao Yi looked at it carefully for an hour, then took a short break when he felt tired. When he opened the system, he suddenly found new messages.

[Monitor police router, breach police website.]

[Research Coin +1.]

[Academic reputation increase!]

[Research Coin +1.]

[Academic reputation increases, Study Coin +100.]

These prompts were not surprising. When doing some technical things, Zhao Yi could possibly gain research coins and academic reputation. Zhao Yi didn’t understand the timing of the message alerts.

"Could it be related to the fermentation and spread of the incident?"

"When you create something, it only gains academic reputation when it has an impact and is known by more people?"

Thinking this way seemed reasonable.

For example, the Rubik’s Cube calculator, he didn’t receive the rewards quickly when it was first created.

The same goes for papers.

Now that the paper was completed and submitted, the system did not give a corresponding academic reputation. Perhaps it was only after the paper was published and everyone knew about it that the system would give out the rewards.

Zhao Yi shook his head and didn’t think too much, opened Dota, and started playing games.

’Leisure Coin’ also needed to be earned!

Soon after,

He became annoyed.

Online Dota games were riddled with cheating.

The domestic battle platforms had no solution to this. They could only constantly report and ban accounts, but banning didn’t solve all the problems, and cheaters would still use cheats.

Zhao Yi encountered a cheating Juggernaut. At level six, the Juggernaut’s ultimate had three invincible slashes, but the opponent just kept slashing upward like his entire screen was filled with the Juggernaut’s shadows until he was slashed to death.

Also...

On his side, the Tidehunter’s single skill killed an opponent with half health instantly.

As a player who didn’t cheat, all Zhao Yi could do was dodge, dodge, dodge. He couldn’t even fight back against the enemy. What fun was there left in the game?

"What the hell!"

Zhao Yi endured the whole game. After more than ten minutes, he finally managed to destroy the enemy base by sneaking around and dismantling their towers.

Then,

Game-over!

His own base mysteriously experienced a terror-attack, exploding neatly and cleanly.

"I.C.!"

Zhao Yi pressed the force close button and looked at the battle platform interface, wondering if he should say goodbye to Dota?

Cheaters were rampant!

This wasn’t leisure time, it was being taken advantage of by others!

"No way! Cheaters got to me!"

The more Zhao Yi thought about it, the angrier and more depressed he became. He gritted his teeth and opened the programming software, "I’m going to make an unstoppable super cheat!"
