Mathematical Language

After morning class ended, those who had been whipped went to the infirmary for treatment.

After breakfast, Chu Fei returned to the classroom and first examined the Wisdom Tree Seed.

The seed had not changed much, but the Wisdom Dewdrop had grown another circle, reaching 48%.

He then looked over the schedule, quickly skimmed the relevant material to get the lay of the land, then lay down for a short nap.

Breakfast ran from 7:00 to 7:30, but the first class began at 8:00.

The half hour in between could be used for sleep.

Half an hour later, the bell rang. A tall, thin teacher entered, placed his textbook on the lectern, and said with a smile:

"I am your mathematics teacher, Gao Mingsong.

Everyone, open your Elementary Mathematics textbooks. We'll begin with linear equations in one variable. No problem with that, right?"

Chu Fei listened attentively, throwing his full focus into the lesson.

Gao Mingsong taught mathematics very well. He spoke for over forty minutes in one breath without looking at the textbook even once.

"All right, look back through the textbook. If there is anything you do not understand or did not catch, you must ask.

It is not frightening not to understand, but if you pretend to understand when you do not..."

Gao Mingsong glanced at the Whip Holder beside the lectern before continuing, "you will be punished."

Chu Fei flipped through the textbook and took notes in a new notebook.

The original textbook was not to be scribbled or drawn in.

Chu Fei had already finished reading what Gao Mingsong explained last night. Yet hearing it taught again gave him a deeper understanding.

Focusing inward to "look" at the Wisdom Tree Seed, he found that after just one forty-minute lesson, the Wisdom Dewdrop had reached 77%!

Sure enough, reading and self-study were not the only ways to acquire knowledge. Listening to lectures was more efficient.

Then people began asking questions, and the first class quickly came to an end.

After a fifteen-minute break, the second class began. It was still mathematics.

Teacher Gao called on students directly, choosing at random and making them solve problems on the spot.

Whenever someone could not answer, the Whip Holder moved.

One student who could not answer was called on three times in a row and whipped three times. The atmosphere in the classroom changed.

Chu Fei was called on once as well, but he answered smoothly.

Afterward, Gao Mingsong lectured for another half hour, then asked more questions.

When the second class ended, it was already 11:30 in the morning.

Teacher Gao tucked the textbook under his arm, turned, and left with a flourish. The homework was one comprehensive problem.

Those who had been whipped hurried to the infirmary for treatment.

After lunch, Chu Fei returned to the dormitory. Focusing inward at the Wisdom Tree Seed, he discovered that there were already two dewdrops.

The first dewdrop was crystal-clear, shimmering with flowing radiance.

The second dewdrop was also at around 13%.

Chu Fei stared at the dewdrops for a while, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.

Still, fine steel had to be used on the blade's edge. His learning progress was good for now, so he would save them temporarily.

The afternoon was physics. The physics teacher likewise did not look at the textbook, lecturing without pause for an entire class. After the second class came self-study and roll call, followed by a few simple laboratory sessions.

Before he knew it, it was 17:00. The physics teacher also left behind simple homework and departed with a flourish.

The day's classes were over. After dinner, Chu Fei lay facedown on his desk for a nap, while still focusing inward on the Wisdom Tree Seed.

The Wisdom Tree Seed had become increasingly crystal-clear, brimming with vitality.

"Since it's a seed, it'll sprout someday, right? What will the Wisdom Tree look like? Will its roots burrow into my brain...?"

Then he looked again at the two Wisdom Dewdrops. The second had already reached 52%.

The gains were enormous!

The evening was self-study time, with Cao Liwen overseeing them.

Anyone who did not understand something could ask Cao Liwen. Ordinary questions truly could not stump him.

Before they knew it, it was 21:00. Cao Liwen collected everyone's homework and reviewed it swiftly.

At this point, Chu Fei checked the Wisdom Dewdrop. It had reached 65%. Self-study really was less efficient.

That made sense. Lectures were teachers sharing knowledge they had immersed themselves in and fully understood for years.

While his thoughts wandered, Cao Liwen finished grading the homework.

The Whip Holder immediately became busy, the leather whip lashing through the air.

But after the whipping was over, Cao Liwen called out again. "Chu Fei, explain it to these idiots."

Chu Fei was somewhat bewildered, but he still quickly went to the lectern and explained the assignments left by the mathematics teacher and physics teacher.

As he explained, Chu Fei made another delightful discovery—give roses to others, and the fragrance lingered on your own hand!

In the course of explaining, he organized his own knowledge again and gained new insights.

The second Wisdom Dewdrop abruptly rose to 71%!

Its efficiency was practically equal to listening to class.

By the time Chu Fei finished explaining, it was already 21:40.

Those who had been whipped went for treatment. Chu Fei returned to the dormitory, washed up, and it was 22:00 by the time the lights went out.

In the darkness, Chu Fei's eyes shone brightly. After taking several deep breaths, he finally made a decision: he would use another Wisdom Dewdrop!

His purpose in using the Wisdom Dewdrop this time was clear:

① Continue exploring the effects of the Wisdom Dewdrop;

② Analyze his current circumstances and think about the future.

One dewdrop dispersed, and Chu Fei's consciousness rose once more. Vast amounts of information flashed through his mind, combining and colliding, producing new sparks of wisdom.

In this state of ultra-high-speed thought, a single instant of thinking exceeded what ordinary people could manage in days, perhaps even more than ten days.

Perhaps it was the saying that even a fool who worries a thousand times would gain one insight. The more he thought, the more flashes of brilliance emerged.

Finally, when countless sparks joined into a blazing expanse, a clear realization rose in his heart:

What was the true essence of Big Data Cultivation?

According to existing theories, everything in the world was Big Data.

Tangible matter was Big Data. Intangible existences such as energy were Big Data. Even human thought was Big Data.

And to link all of it together, there had to be a language capable of "universal translation."

Chu Fei thought of computers. In the virtual world of computers and the internet, there was also a universal language—machine language!

Machine language was the "underlying logic" of the internet world—or rather, its "laws"!

Then what was the universal language of Big Data Cultivation?

The core of Big Data Cultivation was science, and the foundation of science was mathematics.

When mathematics developed to its limit, it would inevitably transform into a kind of "Mathematical Language."

Chu Fei remembered that many scientists in his previous life had predicted that if a universal language existed in the universe, it would certainly be Mathematical Language!

From the perspective of cultivation, so-called Mathematical Language was law!

For example, if the law of a circle were expressed mathematically, it would be π!

The symbol "π" was defined by humanity, but the meaning it represented existed naturally.

Take the Golden Ratio, "(√5-1)/2," for another example. Was that not also a kind of law?

Mathematics was a means of studying the laws of the universe through scientific methods.

Mathematical Language was the key to deciphering the Metaverse and unlocking the Cosmic Brain.

Vaguely, Chu Fei felt that he had grasped the tiny tail of Big Data Cultivation.

Unfortunately, his knowledge reserves were severely lacking, so for now, this was the furthest he could understand.

"I'll keep studying tomorrow!"

His epiphany had ended, but the Wisdom Dewdrop's effect remained, and his heart brimmed with a thirst for knowledge.

"I want to read!"

But the lights were already out. If he wanted to read, he could only go outside and find a streetlamp.

A person could not push themselves that hard.

Countless examples had shown that in the end, the one hurt by relentless competition was always oneself.

"Then I'll review the old and learn the new.

For now, I can summarize the effects of the Wisdom Dewdrop in several points: besides enhancing learning ability, it could also strengthen deduction, association, and more. In essence, it temporarily increased wisdom."

As he thought, Chu Fei gradually drifted off to sleep.

And at this moment, the Wisdom Dewdrop had still not been completely exhausted.
