Chapter 50 Upgrade
Upon hearing Li Ang speak, Jet subconsciously glanced at the test paper on the table.
The answers are already neatly written on it.
How long has it been? Junior Brother Aldrin has already answered all the questions?
He answered the test even faster and better than he did a week ago when he gave Professor Nolan the test.
What a monster.
Without time for further reflection, Jeremy nodded.
"Thank you, senior brother," Li Ang said softly, then quietly got up and walked out of the examination room.
There wasn't a single pretentious gesture.
In a sense, Li Ang was just a sophomore in college in his previous life. Young people have a psychological need to show off in front of their peers.
But ever since he started traveling between the two worlds to fight against the Holy See and studying mathematics and magic, he felt that his mental age had unconsciously increased.
Facing these students who were his own age, he felt that showing off was really pointless.
Despite this, crying could be heard immediately after Li Ang left the examination room.
Jet looked toward the source of the sound and saw a girl holding an exam paper, tears streaming down her face.
I was so upset I almost cried.
The classroom instantly became lively. Some people couldn't help but look at the crying female classmate, while others stared blankly at Li Ang's departing figure. Most people were whispering among themselves.
In recent days, almost everyone in the mathematics department has heard about Li Ang's deeds.
He was admitted through a special admission program and published a paper in a core journal within just two days of arriving.
even……
The reason this exam was so difficult might be related to Li Ang.
Who knows which professor might try to intimidate this genius student, and they might end up getting caught up in it.
This is truly a terrible thing!
……
Information about this highly difficult exam in the mathematics department spread quickly.
There were even reports of test takers crying during the exam.
Students from other departments who initially felt it was unfair and hoped the school would uphold justice instinctively had some doubts after hearing the news.
Until everyone got their hands on a math exam paper that had accidentally leaked out, and after reading the questions, no one spoke anymore, and no one envied the math students.
They even felt some sympathy.
It's true that there aren't many normal people who study math.
Who in their right mind would study cryptic texts?
At that moment, Director Sanders McLean, who was sitting in his office, also heard the news.
"Well done, as expected of Li Ang. Even a test paper jointly prepared by several professors couldn't stump him."
"Director McLean, given the current situation, I really don't think it's necessary for Li Ang to follow the others year after year in a routine manner," Rex Morrison said, expressing his opinion.
Actually, Rex had a ulterior motive when he said that.
After spending the last few days with Li Ang, he has come to fully understand just how phenomenal this "freshman" is in mathematics.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Ang's mastery of mathematics even surpasses that of many of Rex's doctoral students.
With students like that in his class, he simply couldn't teach.
Teaching too simply would easily become a waste of time, which Li Ang would despise.
If teaching becomes too difficult, the other students will be completely doomed.
For example, in this exam, several professors, including Rex, made the questions as difficult as possible.
It didn't work.
Li Ang submitted his paper early and received a perfect score.
The corresponding exam results of other students were, to put it mildly, disappointing.
There are even a large number of blank papers.
Therefore, if a student like Li Ang continues to study in his junior or senior year with everyone else, it is his classmates and the professors who teach him who will feel bad.
Rex felt he had to explain the situation to Sanders and make him understand everyone's difficulties.
After a moment's thought, Sanders nodded. "That's true, but it depends on Li Ang's own wishes, the results of his general education exams, and of course, the opinion of the board of directors."
"General education courses? Aren't those just a formality? As for the board of trustees, Kayla Nolan can handle it. Her star student has put on such a big show; the board has no reason to interfere, right?"
"That makes sense. I'll go to the administration office and apply for this to higher authorities. Let's just get things done and let Li Ang graduate from university quickly. The sooner he gets a PhD in philosophy, he can focus on mathematical research and produce results sooner."
"That makes sense. Dean McLean goes to great lengths for the students; if people outside knew, they would definitely praise the University of Chicago's mathematics department for having such a great dean."
"Alright." Sanders waved his hand. "I'm just paving the way for the little guy. I don't know if he'll be able to make it through. We'll let him know as soon as the school has the results so he can prepare early."
……
Countdown: 23:59:50
The leisurely time passed quickly.
Li Ang is also beginning preparations for traversing Ioria.
First, he needs to grind his math skills to level 3, which is just 5 points away from leveling up.
[Your hard work has earned you +1 math experience]
[Your hard work has earned you +1 math experience]
……
After burying myself in studying for the last few hours, my math level has finally improved!
Mathematics: Level 3 (400/800)
[The discipline has reached the professional level for the first time]
[Reward: 200 Learning Coins]
[Reward: 40% increase in learning efficiency]
[Reward: Attribute Points +0.3]
[Reward: All skills increased by 40%]
[Reward: New Skills Knowledge Network]
【技能：两界穿梭（1级0%），精神专注（1级0%），知识网络（0级0%）】
Looking at the system notifications scrolling across the transparent screen in front of him, Li Ang felt a surge of joy.
My hard work studying math these past few days, going out early and returning late, has finally paid off.
The system's rewards for advancing to level 3 in math this time were indeed quite generous.
"First, there's the ever-popular learning coins. Even ignoring the lottery in the 'Inspiration Burst' feature, just unlocking various skills isn't enough to cover them all. We wouldn't mind having more of these!"
"Improved learning efficiency... Great, facilitates snowballing learning."
"Attribute points +0.3, amazing, no further explanation needed!"
"Both interdimensional travel and mental focus have been upgraded."
"Interdimensional Travel LV1, reduces travel cooldown time and increases perception clarity near the anchor point... emmm, this should be that chaotic scene I saw before traveling, meaning traveling from America to Ioria is safer now."
"Mental Focus LV1: Improves learning efficiency and mental agility in Flow state... beneficial for learning. However, considering that I could unleash mental power with [Mental Focus] in Ioria, this skill might also perform well in magical battles."
As for knowledge networks…
Li Ang began researching the third skill of the academic genius system.
"Clearly, this is a memory-related skill."
In fact, after Li Ang raised his intelligence to 1.8, he was able to memorize a lot of knowledge relatively easily. For example, in the recent University of Chicago mathematics exam, he didn't need to bring any study materials.
Various formulas and theorems were already deeply imprinted in his mind.
But Li Ang understood that a wizard needed to memorize much more.
He not only needs to memorize numbers and information, but also needs to perfectly imprint the details of experiments in his mind, including knowledge of various magical models, herbalism, and potion recipes.
Now that he has the skill [Knowledge Network], he can spend learning coins to firmly attach each knowledge point to the Knowledge Network.
