The Inherited System

"Nofi, what is 6 times 8?" After dinner, Ou Ye gave Nofi a lesson in family education.

Nofi answered fluently, "Six eight forty-eight."

"What if you multiply six by eight and then subtract eight?" Ou Ye increased the difficulty.

After a moment's thought, Nofi replied, "Forty."

Ou Ye asked, "What is forty multiplied by what?"

Nofi calmly and confidently replied, "Five times eight equals forty."

"So another form of six times eight minus eight is five times eight, right?" Ou Ye added some logical thinking.

Nofi blinked and said, "Yes."

"Then what is another form of nine times nine minus nine?"

"Hmm..." Nofi fell into deep thought. This kind of question was too difficult for a child who was just two months shy of four years old. It was like asking a high school student to prove the Riemann Hypothesis.

"Mmm..." Nofi hummed for a while, then said, "Eight times nine equals seventy-two."

"Correct!" Ou Ye clapped her hands. If you said her daughter wasn't a child prodigy, she would definitely look down on you.

On Nofi's first day of homeschooling, her math level was assessed by Ou Ye as being at the second grade level.

A math teacher engaged in early childhood education and a math professor researching profound and complex problems are two different professions. It is difficult for the former to also work as a math professor, while for the latter to work as a math teacher, the only thing to pay attention to is the method.

Shen Nuo Fei's sensitivity to numbers seems to be an innate instinct. She was born into a family where both her parents were mathematicians, so naturally, her parents would cultivate her innate talent to the fullest extent.

However, Ou Ye also noted that Nofi's understanding of geometric figures needs further improvement.

"Nophie, what kind of shape is this?"

"Rectangle."

What about this one?

"Rectangle."

"Not entirely correct, it's a square."

"Huh, a square?"

"A square is a special kind of rectangle, with all four sides being the same length." Ou Ye held a ruler and gestured on the paper, indicating that her education of Nofi had entered the stage of building basic concepts.

Children are naturally playful, and so is Nofi.

However, Nofie was very engaged when learning math, perhaps because it was a form of play for her.

The mother and daughter were enjoying themselves, Ou Ye's illness seemed to have improved considerably.

Watching from the sidelines, Cuiping remarked, "Nofi is such a smart girl. Not only smart, but also very sensible."

Director's Office Shen Qi Research Center.

Shen Qi leaned back on the sofa, sipping coffee while chatting on his phone. "Teacher Qi, are you saying that my son, Nofi, is born with a musical talent?"

Teacher Qi, the music teacher at Xicheng Weihua Kindergarten, replied, "Yes, after Nofi gets home, you can play some classical music for her to listen to, to further cultivate her love for music."

Shen Qi: "Okay. Please give Nofi a lot of guidance in music, Teacher Qi. After all, you are a professional music teacher, while Nofi's mother and I can only play music."

After finishing his conversation with Teacher Qi, Shen Qi couldn't help but wonder: Nofi, not even four years old, had shown exceptional talent in so many areas—could the system be inherited by children? Had it already been passed down?

Shen Qi's system doesn't have music as an option, so is Nofi's system an enhanced version?

The Shen Family's prized possession—the ancestral system...

Shen Qi asked the system, "Can you or your descendants biologically inherit traits from my descendants?"

The system did not respond.

The topic of "the origin of the possession system and whether it has biological heredity" is something Shen Qi needs to study himself.

Knock knock knock.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A woman named He Lin entered and handed a folder to Shen Qi. "Director Shen, I was greatly inspired after studying the materials you sent me. To be honest, I still need some time to digest the core theory of those materials, but I have developed a new experimental design for the specific topic of Receptor Stasis Agent. Professor Tang thought it was feasible after reviewing it. Director Shen, could you please take a look at it as well?"

"Oh? You're really efficient." Shen Qi took the folder, glanced at the coffee pot in the food area, and said, "He Lin, have a cup of coffee first."

"Hmm." He Lin went to the food and beverage area, poured coffee, and added sugar and milk.

He Lin returned to Shen Qi's side with her coffee cup. Shen Qi closed the folder and said, "Remove the dipole cyclization step; it's unnecessary. Everything else is fine; just do it according to your design."

"This... you're too fast!" He Lin was quite surprised. In the short time she went to get coffee, Shen Qi had finished reading her experimental design.

The thing men fear most is things moving too fast. Shen Qi was so fast because he grasped the key point. "Just do as I say, let's speed things up as much as possible."

"Okay, I'll go back and do the experiment then." He Lin left, thinking to herself, "This medicine is to save your wife, so you say it's OK and that's it?"

You can't get carried away when doing scientific research; don't act impulsively.

He Lin believed that Shen Qi would not act impulsively or be perfunctory when it came to the issue of medicine to save his wife, which also indicated that Shen Qi was basically satisfied with the experimental design she had written.

Arriving at the central café downstairs, He Lin stretched, feeling exhausted.

Working more than ten hours a day, sometimes even all night, is a work intensity that no one can withstand in the long run.

If you can't take it anymore, just drink coffee. He Lin drank another cup of coffee.

Fully recovered, He Lin arrived at the Chemistry Laboratory and happened to see Xiao Ming walking out.

"Where are you going?" He Lin asked.

Xiao Ming tapped his watch. "It's time, let's have coffee."

"It seems your group is making good progress." He Lin and Xiao Ming are not in direct competition; in fact, Xiao Ming's group's project provides He Lin's group with basic data and results.

"It went so smoothly you won't believe it." Xiao Ming waved and walked away, beaming.

After a brief chat among colleagues, the pressure shifted to He Lin.

He Lin entered the laboratory, and her three group members stood closely around her.

"Work overtime tonight," He Lin succinctly instructed.

"Well... okay." The team members readily accepted Team Leader He's work arrangements; working overtime was commonplace.

For lab technicians, the key is not to wait for progress, but to leave it behind.

A qualified lab technician is never idle; they always have research topics to study.

Lab technicians who have no experiments to conduct will panic.

Bathed in the gentle breeze and the setting sun, Shen Qi finished his day's work and walked home.

With a virtuous wife and filial daughter, the Shen Family enjoyed a harmonious and happy dinner.

After dinner, Shen Qi played the I-MAX version of "Nocturne" in surround sound, carefully observing Nofi's expression.

Nofi fell silent instantly, her entranced expression suggesting she was under some kind of spell.
