Chapter 18 The Divide Was Wrong
Dissecting a corpse was a novel experience for Li Ang, and it refreshed his understanding of the human body, which should be beneficial for his future studies or research into magic.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Li Ang took the hand drill and needle and thread without hesitation.
Nicole had just performed some pre-operative procedures on the body, similar to excision. Now, Li Ang's task was to stitch it back up.
He held the steel needle and precisely pierced it into the predetermined position, then steadily pulled it out.
Not right.
Nicole noticed something was very wrong.
After Li Ang demonstrated amazing mathematical talent, he also showed talent in medicine.
But Li Ang said before that he had no medical background, so how could he learn it after just a few days of watching?
His hands were so steady, it was as if they were welded to the workbench.
Yes, dealing with corpses is different from dealing with patients. Doctors can handle it much more easily, and their psychological stress is also reduced.
But Nicole believes that even if Leon were to undergo surgery, he would still deliver an amazing performance.
"Needle."
As Nicole was lost in thought, Li Ang reached out his hand.
Nicole quickly handed her the needle.
Li Ang quickly threaded the needle.
Then came the third and the fourth.
In the end, Li Ang painstakingly stitched the shattered right leg bone back together.
The value of the corpse increased significantly.
But that's not the key point.
Nicole looked at Li Ang in disbelief.
Is this something only doctors who have performed hundreds or thousands of surgeries on the operating table can do?
Before Nicole formally studied mathematics with Kayla, she had been studying medicine. While not exceptionally skilled, she was still far superior to many resident physicians at Chicago municipal hospitals.
She could tell that Li Ang's suturing technique had many similarities to her previous procedures.
Li Ang learned his skills from her.
Connie asked herself honestly, even if she went up and stitched it herself, she couldn't do what Li Ang did.
Li Ang has an exceptional ability to learn and imitate.
Thinking of this, Nicole's eyes became even more complicated.
Li Ang really shouldn't waste his time here; he needs to go to university.
Similarly, tuition fees should not be an obstacle for him.
There should be someone to help him clear the obstacles ahead.
Who could this person be?
Nicole suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Perhaps there is a way.
……
[Your hard work has earned you +1 Biology experience]
As he stitched up the body, Li Ang felt a faint sense of excitement.
"Could this be the bloodline of wizards, a natural-born experimental physique?"
"But having biology experience is actually quite good."
Li Ang thought that if he had the opportunity to learn high-level magic in Ioria in the future, he might be able to use this skill to develop necromancy.
After the body was disposed of, Li Ang and Nicole walked out of the autopsy room, changed their clothes, and saw Nicole walking over with a booklet.
"Li Ang, there's an advanced algebra problem here that I can't solve. Could you help me take a look?"
What?
Li Ang looked up at Nicole.
He's still working at the clinic, how did we get onto the topic of advanced-age prostitutes?
And if you can't do advanced algebra, you can always ask your aunt Kayla Nolan, right?
Or is doing math problems just about squeezing every last drop of energy out of you...?
Seeing Nicole's beautiful eyes blinking, Li Ang helplessly reached out his hand, "Let me see."
Nicole bent down and handed over the workbook, pointing to one of the questions and saying, "This is it."
"A block matrix?"
Li Ang glanced at it and thought that it might be the same calculus question Nicole used to test him, just like the one from the day before yesterday.
Since I'm just killing time anyway, doing math problems while paid isn't a bad idea.
Without further hesitation, Li Ang spread the exercise book on his desk, picked up a pen, and began to work out calculations on the draft paper.
After calculating for about two minutes, Nicole sweetly asked, "Li Ang, are you thirsty? I'll make you a cup of coffee. Take your time with the calculations, I'm not in a hurry."
"No need," Li Ang shook his head. "I've already calculated it."
"Figure it out?"
Nicole felt that Li Ang had surprised her enough recently, but this problem was assigned to her by Professor Kayla Nolan. She had been racking her brains for a long time but had not found the answer. Yet, in such a short time, Li Ang had actually figured it out.
Li Ang nodded and said seriously, "Actually, this question tests the application of Gaussian elimination, and the root of det(I−AB)=det(I−BA) and (I−AB)^−1A=A(I−BA)^−1..."
Nicole blinked as she listened to Li Ang's casual recounting.
Why didn't she think of that?
Li Ang's problem-solving approach is very clear. If she follows this approach, she should be able to solve the problem.
Pointing to the calculation results in the booklet, Li Ang continued, "Actually, the conclusion of this problem is the starting point for Weisstein factorization and Schul complement theory in matrix theory. It should be quite interesting to study further. However, I'm at work now and don't have enough time. We can study it together another day."
"No, wait!" Nicole grabbed Leon's arm. "With Lyle and Harvey up ahead, there's nothing much to do at the clinic. Leon, tell me quickly how to proceed with the research on Wes something again?"
Li Ang was helpless.
This girl must be addicted to learning math.
"Watch closely, do it this way..."
……
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Before leaving get off work, Li Ang asked Nicole to help him ask for a day off.
He's going to wear Ioria tomorrow morning.
Although there is a system observer effect, as long as he doesn't stay in Ioria for an extended period, there's absolutely no need for him to take leave from the American Danube Clinic.
But Li Ang still wanted to give himself more room to maneuver.
When meeting with other wizards under the noses of a witch hunt team, one should always show some respect to the other party.
He wants to get a good night's sleep tonight so he can be full of energy the next day.
In fact, Li Ang really wanted to get a revolver and bring the weapon to Ioria.
Firearms, which appeared in the Middle Ages, were a game-changer for people like witch hunters who were still using cold weapons.
After careful consideration, Li Ang decided to give up.
Bringing a pistol along might cause [Interdimensional Travel] to cool down for a long time.
At this stage, carrying nothing and ensuring you can use your skills to move around at any time is the most efficient approach.
……
Evening, Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Chicago.
"Nicole?" Kayla glanced at the time. It was 8:15, not too late, but Nicole would usually be home by now.
Moreover, Kayla knew that Nicole usually avoided her. Although their relationship wasn't exactly tense, Nicole wouldn't normally come over late at night.
Nicole smiled sweetly, "Teacher, I've finished the homework you assigned me last week. I wanted you to check if I did it correctly."
"Put it here, I'll look at it."
Nicole shook her head and said very seriously, "Teacher, let's see now. If there are any problems, I can fix them immediately."
Kayla gave Nicole a suspicious look.
Not right.
Nicole is acting very strange today.
She seems like a completely different person.
Is this still the Nicole who usually says she gets a headache whenever math is mentioned?
