Perseverance (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Blue Sky 202)

Where can I get over 210,000 academic points?

Completing the system task, along with the bonus from the Mathematics Department's main talent, would allow me to obtain 200,000 academic points in one go.

However, to complete the task, Shen Qi needed to publish 10 mathematical papers before September, and he was stuck on the 9th paper.

"Why do you insist on publishing 10 papers? Eight is already a lot." Ou Ye was a little confused.

Shen Qi has recently fallen into a state of demonic possession again, as if it is not Ou Ye is ill, but Shen Qi himself.

"Ten papers, it has to be ten!" Shen Qi had stayed up for several nights, his eyes bloodshot, but "Document No. 9" was still making no progress. The German female PhD seemed to be invincible in her dimension.

Only by launching a dimensional reduction attack from a higher dimension can the German female PhD be defeated. Shen Qi needs this dimensional reduction attack weapon—his improved version of "Document No. 9".

This means that Shen Qi must enter a higher dimension of the mathematical field in order to create a powerful mathematical weapon with overwhelming superiority. He needs to upgrade and improve his mathematical level.

Ou Ye was also a participant in "Document 9," and she drafted the first half of this number theory paper.

"Would a paper published in a general journal be acceptable?" Ou Ye asked.

"Huh? What did you say?" Shen Qi seemed to wake up from a nightmare.

"SCI paper and core journal papers have strict review processes and long cycles," Ou Ye said. "Publishing papers in general journals is much easier and has a shorter cycle."

"This..." Shen Qi was dumbfounded.

Ou Ye: "Perhaps you're too demanding of yourself, so never mind what I said."

"That's right, a paper published in a general journal is still a paper, it counts! My dear Little Yezi, I love you so much, kissing sounds!" Shen Qi hugged Ou Ye and kissed her three times, then ran away like a gust of wind, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

"You've gone crazy again..." Ou Ye was so embarrassed. I may have a physical illness, but you're the one with a mental illness!

The study room was full of students from various colleges. How could Ou Ye not feel shy? But there was nothing she could do; she just liked men whose minds were different from ordinary people.

Shen Qi rushed back to the boys' dormitory and immediately began drafting a new paper for a general journal.

In fact, among the eight mathematical papers that Shen Qi has published, one is a general journal paper, published in the "Mathematical Innovation Herald" during his first semester of freshman year.

More than a year has passed, Shen Qi has almost forgotten about this paper published in a general journal, because it was too ordinary and had little academic value.

Ou Ye reminded Shen Qi that papers published in general journals are still papers, and can be used to make up the numbers.

The system didn't say that you had to publish 10 SCI or core journal papers to complete the task. In fact, the system has already assumed that this general journal paper in the "Mathematical Innovation Herald" is one of the 10 task papers.

"German woman, you wait. One day I, Shen Qi, will return. That day is not far off."

Shen Qi redefined "Document No. 9," changing his ninth paper to "Analysis of Quadratic Integrable Non- Hamilton Systems," while his previous number theory paper on the Wash Conjecture was renumbered as "Document No. 11."

The original "Document No. 10" has also been updated to "Document No. 12". This is a paper in the field of Mathematical Physics, related to the Schrödinger operator. Shen Qi has completed 80-90% of the work. This paper is an SCI-level paper.

The new "Document No. 10" is "Linear Analysis of Operator Product Projection Mapping," which is essentially an enhanced Linear Algebra. It is quite ordinary and meets the submission standards of general journals.

The more challenging "Document No. 11" and "Document No. 12" will be put on hold for now, and Shen Qi will focus his efforts on drafting the new "Document No. 9" and "Document No. 10".

Shen Qi felt overwhelmed by the fact that his Level 8 math proficiency was insufficient to tackle world-class mathematical problems, but writing papers for general journals was far too easy for him.

By publishing papers in general journals to meet the task requirements, you can complete the task and earn 200,000 Academic Points. In addition, publishing papers in general journals will also earn you a small amount of Academic Points, which is just enough to accumulate the Academic Points needed to upgrade your Mathematics level to 9.

Once Shen Qi reaches level 9 in mathematics, his innate abilities such as insight, judgment, and logical thinking will significantly improve. It won't be too late for him to seek out the German female PhD for further discussion.

This is a strategic approach of achieving national goals through indirect means.

In just one week, Shen Qi completed the "Document No. 9" and "Document No. 10" for general journals and submitted them to two different mathematics journals.

Neither of these two general journals has an impact factor (IF) value; they are only intended for exchange among mathematics enthusiasts in China.

Shen Qi was under a lot of pressure and it was very hard for him to be fighting on two fronts.

He has already earned more than half of the credits for his second physics degree. It's really tiring; he's so tired that he doesn't even want to eat.

But giving up his second degree in physics was unacceptable to Shen Qi, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

Shen Qi had already planned out his physics major's theoretical exams; he needed to complete eight physics major theoretical exams over the next three months.

Shen Qi wasn't afraid of the theory exam, so he lowered his expectations, aiming for just a passing grade.

Anyway, he's already received an offer from the Princeton Mathematics Department, so the outcome is pretty much decided.

It doesn't matter if my physics GPA drops to 3.5.

Shen Qi was pushing himself to the limit to get a perfect score on all eight of his remaining physics courses. His mind was completely focused on math, and he hadn't seen his girlfriend for three days.

Those who understand the times are wise; sometimes you have to give up something, like getting a perfect score.

To obtain a second degree in physics, experiments are essential.

The experiments are a bit tricky, mainly due to scheduling issues.

This semester, the Physics Department assigned Shen Qi two experiments: one a basic experiment and the other a comprehensive design experiment.

Under normal circumstances, for students enrolled in the School of the Yanjing University Physics Department, basic experiments are completed in the second year, comprehensive design experiments in the third year, and research and innovation experiments in the fourth year.

The School of Physics had already made an exception by allowing Shen Qi, an unofficial member, to participate in the first two experiments during his sophomore year.

This is why Shen Qi, with his renowned reputation, is able to enjoy such special treatment.

However, Shen Qi must complete all three experiments during his sophomore year, because he cannot stay at Yenching University to study for his junior and senior years.

Having exhausted all other options, Shen Qi had to resort to connections. He went to Professor Ren Buqi of the school, hoping to get help.

"Shen Qi, how many times have I told you, don't call him Grandmaster, call him Teacher Ren!" Professor Ren is highly respected in the Physics Department. He was once Shen Qi's High School Physics teacher Mu Rong.

"Teacher Ren, could you do me a favor and arrange for me to participate in the Physics Department's research and innovation experiment this semester? I'm leaving for the United States in August." Shen Qi was very anxious, pacing back and forth in a panic.

"What is your GPA for the theoretical exams in physics so far?" Professor Ren asked.

"My GPA is 4.0, which is 99 out of 100. It is expected that in the next three months, the average score may drop to between 80 and 90, and the GPA will be passively lowered to 3.5 or even 3.0." Shen Qi spoke frankly. To gain Professor Ren's trust and help, the first thing to do was to be open and honest.

"My ranking in the Physics Department will also fall out of the top five, or even the top ten. I have prepared for the worst. Even if my ranking drops to twentieth in the entire Physics Department, I can accept it. I just want a physics degree, I just want a degree!" Shen Qi was really pushed to the limit. He opened his heart and told Professor Ren everything he needed to say.

"Let's not talk about the future. I just want to ask you, what's your ranking now?" Professor Ren asked expressionlessly.

"We're currently ranked first," Shen Qi said, but this first place is about to slip away.

"Get lost!" Professor Ren roared in fury, sternly rebuking him, "Are you kidding me?!"

"I..." Shen Qi was speechless.

"You're ranked first, and you're complaining to me?" Professor Ren wanted to slap this bastard to death. He waved his hand and gave instructions. "Tell me when you're ready, and I'll arrange for you to participate in the undergraduate research and innovation experiment in the Department of Physics. If Shen Qi, you're ready, you can participate in the experiment now!"

"You brat!" Professor Ren cursed, both angry and amused, and kicked Shen Qi.
