Chen Yusheng wasn't actually very interested in science and technology competitions.
After all, in her eyes, those things were basically toys. She was already at the point where she could get hands-on work done in a lab herself, and could even independently lead some small projects.
Naturally, she no longer cared much for toys.
For people in tech, their abilities didn't grow in a smooth, gradual curve. In reality, there could be strange moments of sudden enlightenment. Chen Yusheng was that sort of person. Before college, when she tinkered with open-source projects online, she had relied entirely on her own exploration and developed engineering skills far beyond those of her peers. After coming to Jiangcheng University, she had another breakthrough in Professor Luo's lab.
That was what Sister Enlightenment had to say.
Many geniuses in the Computer Science field were like that. They didn't advance along the routes laid out by the education system; self-study and free exploration were instead far more important.
In a sense, Chen Yusheng meeting Su Bai had been a match made in heaven. With Su Bai's cheat-like financial support, her freedom had increased enormously.
In short, it felt great!
Take this competition, for instance. If it had been before, Chen Yusheng might not have been interested, but she would still have participated to some extent because there was prize money.
Now, though, she had no need to think about that prize money.

"This place is even more spacious than I imagined. It feels like it could host two competitions at once without any problem."
"True." Su Bai nodded. "From now on, as long as they aren't overly official small-scale competitions, we can provide the venue."
After all, there
