So arrogant.
The moment he arrived, he wanted to pick a fight with the teacher?
Wu Tianming and Wang Ye both had the same thought, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.
What if they offended Ke Zhan? Would they still be able to get by at this school in the future?
"Luo Yao, why go to the library? Let's get something to eat. You don't know this, but the white-cut chicken here is especially good. Come on, I'll treat you." Wang Ye walked over to Luo Yao and naturally tried to put an arm around him.
Luo Yao quite naturally stepped to the left, avoiding Wang Ye's hand. He shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry. I'm going to the library. You guys go eat." With that, Luo Yao walked away.
"What now? Even food can't tempt this kid. He's really dead set on going against Ke Zhan!"
"You think everyone's like you? All you know is eating all day. How could a top student be like you?"
"Third Young Master! Why are you making personal attacks? Just a couple days ago, you said being able to eat was a blessing. Now that a top student's here, you've abandoned me, is that it?"
Wang Ye's words gave Wu Tianming goosebumps. "Get lost, cut that out. We need to follow him and take a look. If something really happens to him, the two of us will be in deep trouble."
"Sigh, why do I feel like a babysitter?" Wang Ye could not argue with Wu Tianming, so he could only follow him to the library.
"Didn't you always brag about being worldly? How can you not see something this obvious? If they didn't need the two of us to look after Luo Yao, why would the original dorm residents suddenly be reassigned?"
"Have you ever seen a six-person dorm with only three people living in it?" Seeing that Wang Ye still had not caught on, Wu Tianming took the chance to remind him.
Wang Ye stared at him in shock. "Holy shit! So we got lucky because of Luo Yao?"
"What else did you think? Remember that Blondie from our old dorm? He messaged me around noon and said he'd been assigned to a dorm for another major."
"Think about it. When dorms are assigned, at most they mix students from different departments within the same major. It's rare for students from different majors to be mixed together."
"Our dorm clearly has empty beds, yet no one else can move in. What does that tell you?"
"It can't possibly be because of you and me, right?"
Wu Tianming's analysis finally made Wang Ye see the light.
"Also, the school was willing to spend five hundred thousand yuan to hire someone like him. Don't you understand how important he is?"
"How did this hot potato end up in our hands?" Wang Ye complained as they walked.
"Don't complain yet. Luo Yao's simple-minded. Having a friend like him will definitely benefit you in the future."
Wang Ye was no fool. After Wu Tianming's reminder, he also understood that being friends with a genius was far better than being friends with ordinary people.
Especially a genius like Luo Yao, who cared about nothing but studying.
Still, worry showed on Wang Ye's face. He said, "Aren't you afraid he'll find some problem with Ke Zhan's work and offend him?"
Wu Tianming found Wang Ye's words somewhat amusing. "No matter what, Ke Zhan is a university professor. How could he possibly let Luo Yao find a problem?"
"Besides, Luo Yao is only going to look at Ke Zhan's paper. It's not like he deliberately wants to find fault. Didn't Ke Zhan himself ask all of us to read that paper?"
"Then what are we still standing around for? Let's go to the library!"
After saying that, Wang Ye quickened his pace, prompting Wu Tianming to complain from behind, "I've never seen anyone so eager to suck up to someone important."
Luo Yao did not have a library card and was stopped at the entrance. Once Wu Tianming and Wang Ye arrived, they first took him to apply for one.
After getting his library card, Luo Yao eagerly entered the library.
"This place... is huge." Luo Yao was not someone with many demands when it came to his surroundings, but even so, the school library still shocked him.
"You call this huge? You've never seen the ones in the capital... Hey, why are you poking me?" Before Wang Ye could finish, Wu Tianming physically cut him off.
"Think about where Luo Yao came from," Wu Tianming said quietly.
A small town.
A small town having a library at all was already impressive. What was there to say about the capital?
Having suddenly understood, Wang Ye immediately shut his mouth.
"Come on. Didn't you want to read the papers in Semiconductor? Let's look it up on the computers here first."
Wu Tianming led Luo Yao to one of the library computers and let him operate it himself.
Although Luo Yao had never used a library system before, to him, every system followed the same underlying logic—the goal of achieving computation, data processing, and user interaction.
Following that logic, Luo Yao quickly found the location of the journal Semiconductor.
The three of them arrived at the academic journals section on the second floor. Luo Yao went straight to Row 11 of Section F and took down an issue of Semiconductor.
The moment he sat down, Luo Yao quickly immersed himself in it, completely oblivious to everything around him.
More than a dozen people were scattered around the academic journals section. Wu Tianming and Wang Ye could not just stand there doing nothing, so they each took an issue of Semiconductor and began reading as well.
Luo Yao read extremely fast. By the time Wu Tianming and Wang Ye had only finished one-third, he had already read the entire journal.
"Professor Ke's ability is indeed rather mediocre."
That was Luo Yao's assessment after he finished reading.
"Luo Sand Soil, you really can't say that." After Wang Ye's mind went blank for a few seconds, he quickly lowered his voice.
"Why can't I say it? Isn't it the truth?"
"If a teacher isn't competent, can't that be said?"
"There are even errors in this paper. No, I need to go find him in person." Luo Yao rose as he spoke, intending to go find Ke Zhan.
Holy shit! What are you doing?!
Talking behind his back about how incompetent he was was one thing, but he wanted to confront him in person?
Wasn't that just making things awkward for him?
"Luo Yao, you can't go! If you go now, isn't that like slapping the teacher across the face?" Wang Ye stopped Luo Yao.
Wu Tianming also tried to persuade him in a low voice. "Luo Yao, it's very possible that you misread the error. Think about it—data in a paper needs to be obtained through repeated experiments. You've been reading for less than half an hour. How could you so easily spot a problem?"
"Although I haven't conducted the relevant experiments, there is indeed a problem in his paper."
"I'm going to find him."
"Don't worry. I did the same thing at my previous school. Whenever a teacher made a mistake, I corrected them, and they never said anything."
Wu Tianming leaned closer to Luo Yao and whispered, "Luo Yao, this isn't the same as before. When university professors publish papers, they may not be doing it for academic reasons. Some do it for titles, while others do it for publication fees."
"For some minor mistakes, everyone turns a blind eye. Ke Zhan may end up teaching us for four years!"
"If you bring it up now, you'll be the one who suffers."
"Why?"
"Since when did academia need to falsify things?" Luo Yao could not understand.
To him, one was one and two was two. If even this required compromise, what was science worth spending his time on?
"Then I'll put it another way."
