In the male dormitory of Binhai University, Chen Mo put down his phone, a smile on his face. Today would be the luckiest day of his life.
Putting down his phone, Chen Mo picked up a calculus textbook and opened it.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.
The obscure and difficult formulas in the book quickly became clear in his mind.
He flipped through ten pages, and he still clearly remembered every formula, theorem, and even the solution process for the example problems on each page.
What was going on? Photographic memory?
Chen Mo suddenly remembered Old Shu's words. His current brain was different from ordinary people; it was already a super brain.
Chen Mo quickly flipped back to the first page of the book, eager to read on. He read very quickly, almost skimming ten lines at a glance, finishing a page in less than half a minute. The formulas, theorems, and various explanations and analyses on it were all etched in his mind, remaining perfectly clear even after closing the book.
Chen Mo pinched his arm. It hurt, so he wasn't dreaming.
Overjoyed, Chen Mo continued to flip through the book. He was fast, and in less than half an hour, he had read half the book.
Leibniz Formula, Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem, Cauchy's Mean Value Theorem, Gauss Formula...
Even after reading them only once, all the formulas, theorems, and principles in the book were crystal clear. Not only that, but variations of those formulas could also quickly appear in his mind.
Never before had he felt that learning calculus was so simple.
With joy, Chen Mo continued reading. An hour later, Chen Mo flipped to the last page and closed the book. Dense formulas and theorems flashed through his mind, and he even remembered which page each formula was on.
Chen Mo was ecstatic.
Mathematics, which had once given him so much trouble, was not as difficult to understand as he had imagined. At this moment, he found that learning didn't seem that hard after all.
Putting away the advanced mathematics book, Chen Mo casually picked up the general physics book next to it and continued to study diligently. Chen Mo seemed to have opened the door to the desire for learning, immersing himself in it and unable to extricate himself.
While Chen Mo was engrossed in reading, a few people walked in from outside the dormitory. Seeing Chen Mo, their expressions were strange. When they saw him reading a book, their expressions instantly became wonderful.
"Did this kid get hit on the head by the bookshelf and become stupid?" the leading fatty said.
"Looks like it," said Liu De, who wore glasses, from the side.
The other three also nodded solemnly.
The five of them talked in low voices, pulling Chen Mo out of his book. Seeing the fatty and the others, he closed the book.
"When did you get back?" the fatty asked. "Zhu Gang heard that a beautiful girl was taking care of you, and you weren't awake, so we didn't want to disturb you. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Chen Mo felt a warmth in his heart.
"Chen Mo, what book are you reading?"
Zhu Gang, who was tall and thin like a bamboo pole, walked up to him and saw the physics book in his hand, his expression strange. "Chen Mo, did something happen to you?"
"Bamboo Pole is right. If you're stimulated, don't keep it bottled up. Say it out, and this old monk will guide you. Keeping it in your heart is bad for your health," said the shortest guy in the dormitory. His name was Pu Yuan, and he was known as Master Pu Yuan.
"Nonsense, what could be wrong with me? You should go guide your 'female benefactor'."
"Hahahahaha..."
The few of them burst into laughter. Being able to say that meant Chen Mo was indeed fine.
"Chen Mo, I heard the girl you saved took care of you for three days. Such a good girl, did you get her?" The fatty leaned into Chen Mo's ear, his face full of gossip.
Remembering Xiao Yu's appearance, Chen Mo's lips curved into a smile.
"Hmm, I understand."
The fatty patted Chen Mo's shoulder meaningfully, chuckled, and sat back in his seat. "Comrades, to celebrate the safe return of our dormitory's hero, let's play a game together."
"Shouldn't we order some late-night snacks?"
"We'll order chicken next time. A few of us just went out and had a blast, we can't eat anymore."
"Why does that sound a little strange?"
The five of them turned on their computers and logged into the game. Chen Mo also continued to focus on his book.
The next day, Chen Mo dragged his body out of bed early, washed up, and headed to the library. He had been so engrossed in reading last night that he had read through all the main courses of his university studies, ending up going to bed after two o'clock.
Today was his first date with Xiao Yu, and if he didn't go because he overslept, he probably wouldn't have a chance.
Arriving at the library, Chen Mo went to the bookshelf where the incident had happened. It had been cleaned up and restored to its original state.
He picked up a few books on traditional Chinese medicine illustrations and pharmacological analysis from the bookshelf and went to the self-study area.
On a weekend morning at the library, there weren't too many people; most were sleeping in. After looking around the self-study area, Chen Mo chose a corner seat and sat down, entering a state of study.
Before long, Chen Mo felt movement beside him. Turning his head, he saw Xiao Yu had already sat down next to him. The two of them hadn't agreed on a specific floor, but unexpectedly, they had both tacitly chosen the floor where they first met.
"Are you still feeling unwell?" Xiao Yu glanced at him.
"No," Chen Mo shook his head slightly.
"Are you studying medicine?" Xiao Yu pointed to the stack of books on traditional Chinese medicine illustrations and pharmacological analysis.
"It was a whim, I just wanted to learn about it."
Chen Mo's answer made Xiao Yu's eyes flicker. Suddenly thinking of something, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she focused her attention on her book.
The library fell silent once more.
Chen Mo's attention was focused on the book, his eyes intent. Images of various medicinal plants flashed through his mind, along with descriptions of their properties and effects, all completely memorized.
The reason he was looking at the Chinese medicinal plant guide was simple: he needed to identify the types of medicinal plants used in the Potential Development Technology. To utilize the elixirs, he had to know the names of the plants, as the names recorded in the technology were different from the ones here.
He had obtained the Potential Development Technology and wanted to stimulate his potential, which required the Potential Elixir. However, he currently lacked the technology and equipment to extract the elixir, so he could only rely on the most primitive methods.
Chen Mo's reading speed also continued to increase, a page every ten seconds, but he memorized all the names and effects of the medicinal plants.
In the deathly silent library, apart from the faint sounds of people talking outside, the only sound was him turning pages.
Before long, Chen Mo felt the atmosphere was a little off. He looked up and saw a girl sitting opposite him.
The girl was wearing a short skirt, with fair skin, and could be considered a great beauty, but she lacked the delicate aura that Xiao Yu possessed.
Xiao Yu's face was flushed at this moment, and she was looking at the girl, looking nervous.
"Hello, my name is Li Ruoxi, Xiao Yu's best friend."
Li Ruoxi smiled and extended her small hand towards Chen Mo.
"Hello, my name is Chen Mo."
After a light handshake, Li Ruoxi withdrew her hand and stared directly at him: "The way you were just now, it didn't look like studying. Do you want to pursue our Xiao Yu?"
Sweat!
Chen Mo was drenched in sweat. He hadn't expected this girl to be so direct. If she hadn't said it out loud, they could still be friends. Besides, he really was studying.
"If you don't answer, I'll take it as a default." Li Ruoxi's eyes curved into crescent moons: "Given that you risked your life to save Xiao Yu last time, you've passed my test. Now I'll tell you some important information. Do you want to hear it?"
Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yu and saw that her face was bright red. She was pretending to read a book as if nothing was happening, but she didn't even know what she was looking at.
"Yes!" Chen Mo turned back and nodded.
"Our Xiao Yu's nickname is Little Cat. She likes Little Cat because her personality is like a little cat's. When she's quiet, she's gentle and obedient, and sometimes she has a little wildness. Little Cat also has a hidden personality, she can act spoiled. I haven't seen it, so it depends if you have the good fortune." Li Ruoxi said meaningfully.
Beside her, Xiao Yu's face was red from her ears to her neck. She wanted to stop Li Ruoxi, but this was a library, so she didn't dare to speak loudly. Li Ruoxi also pretended not to see her, leaving her helpless.
"Her nickname is Little Cat, so naturally she likes to eat fish. She's also a fisher girl, grew up by the sea, and likes sea blue. Her height is 165, weight is 49. Do you want to know her measurements and leg length? Come here, I'll tell you quietly."
Li Ruoxi smiled mischievously and beckoned Chen Mo with her finger.
