Chapter 633 The Limits of Research
"A scientist?" Wei Chen muttered to himself, clearly unable to process how he could be involved with such a person in his lifetime.
"Have you no culture? He's a mathematician," Ye Xiu鄙视鄙视 (bishi - despise) him.
"Damn, isn't it all the same?" Wei Chen exclaimed.
Apart from Baozi, the others felt a little breathless after Tang Rou explained Professor Yi Chuan's identity and status.
"Mei Guang, you're actually a student of such a math genius? What's your background?" Ye Xiu asked, voicing the doubts Tang Rou had expressed.
"Does it matter if you ask that? Do you even understand university?" Wei Chen asked Ye Xiu.
"Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run," Ye Xiu said.
"Have you seen university pigs run?" Wei Chen said.
"There's no way to communicate with someone as uncultured as you!" Ye Xiu said.
At this moment, Mei Guang replied on QQ. Mei Guang didn't have any earth-shattering background. He himself was just extraordinary. He had won countless math competition awards in his youth and was directly admitted to XX University as a specially recruited math student at the age of 17 without taking the entrance exam. He was currently said to be a sophomore, but that was just how ordinary people saw it. Based on Mei Guang's own knowledge, he had already learned almost all of the undergraduate courses for ordinary students. Next year, he was planning to try to apply for a direct postgraduate recommendation from the university. If possible, he would just do his master's and doctorate degrees together.
"Dominating!" Apart from this, Ye Xiu really didn't know what else to say.
However, Mei Guang himself didn't think much of it. As he had progressed, he often heard of people who obtained their doctorate degrees at the age of 20, were hired as full professors at various prestigious universities at the age of 24, and achieved various accomplishments and awards before the age of 30. They wouldn't even dare greet people if their IQ wasn't above 200. Compared to these geniuses and freaks, Mei Guang deeply lamented on QQ, "No, no, I'm still far behind!"
The few people in front of the computer looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Wouldn't it be a loss to the country to have such a talented person playing games?" Even Wei Chen said with a solemn expression, looking like a sinner.
"The pressure is immense," Ye Xiu admitted.
"When you asked your tutor about those things, didn't your tutor say anything?" Ye Xiu tentatively asked. According to general thinking, if you don't study properly and play games, and even bring things from the game to ask your teacher, aren't you asking for a beating?
"Professor Zhang? He said the problem was quite grand," Mei Guang replied.
The problem was quite grand…
Ye Xiu and the others really wanted to kneel. Although their level couldn't explain what these things were exactly, they generally knew that it should be the logic or rules of game data or something. But now, in the mouth of an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, it was just a problem?
Fortunately, at least he praised your problem as grand, which meant that Glory wasn't trash and still had some merit.
However, Glory's designers, numerical planners, and programmers, I'm really sorry, your problem has been solved.
"I'll send you the stuff to take a look at!" Mei Guang said, clicking to send the file.
Ye Xiu solemnly clicked receive. What they were about to receive was more than just a cheat. This really wasn't a cheat; this was the kernel, the kernel of the game Glory.
But the problem soon emerged.
When it came to calculating health, mana consumption, skill cooldowns, attack range, movement amplitude, movement speed, and jump height with their characters, Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were both masters. But now that the game had been deciphered and the truth had been revealed to them, the two began to look at each other.
"Cough," Ye Xiu coughed.
"This…" Tang Rou also muttered.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at her expectantly.
"This is definitely not something we can understand," Tang Rou said.
"I agree," Ye Xiu said.
"Why don't we buy a book?" Wei Chen said.
"Buy a math book?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Are we buying a language arts book?" Wei Chen鄙视鄙视 (bishi - despise) Ye Xiu for talking nonsense.
"You should go buy a book on moral character!" Ye Xiu said, already looking for Mei Guang on QQ: "Mei Guang, do you think we can understand this stuff?"
"Can't you understand it at all?" Mei Guang asked.
"Is this kid deliberately mocking us?" Ye Xiu asked the others behind him.
"Do you think everyone is like you?" Chen Guo scolded Ye Xiu. Did he really think everyone was born with the ability to嘲讽 嘲讽 (chaofeng - mock) others like him?
"We can't understand it, we really can't understand it at all," Ye Xiu replied to Mei Guang.
"Then what do we do?" Mei Guang asked.
"Uh, just use the same language you used to write the strategy guide to describe what we should do," Ye Xiu said.
"Oh, I understand what you mean," Mei Guang replied.
"We don't need to bother your teacher again, right?" Ye Xiu asked.
"No, he hasn't played Glory, so he wouldn't know this," Mei Guang replied.
"Then thank you for your hard work," Ye Xiu said.
"Okay, wait for my good news!" Mei Guang said.
"Also," Ye Xiu hurriedly called out to Mei Guang, "The pro league season is about to end. We might start participating in the Challenger League around September. Will that be a problem? Will you be too busy? Will it interfere with your studies?"
"Not busy, not busy, I'm very free. September, right? I understand," Mei Guang said.
"Then go ahead!"
Mei Guang's avatar went dark, and Ye Xiu heard a sigh of relief behind him. In Mei Guang's eyes, he was still "far behind," but in the eyes of Ye Xiu and the others, he was already an extraordinary person, not to mention his tutor, who was a mathematician of that level. They had played Glory to this level. Everyone suddenly felt that the burden on their shoulders had become heavier.
"Everyone, disperse? What are you still standing here for?" Ye Xiu turned around and shooed away the three people who were still stunned. Look how calm Baozi was. He also came over to join in the fun at first. Later, after Mei Guang sent the thing, everyone opened it and was ashamed because they couldn't understand it. Baozi just said frankly, "What the heck is this?" and went back to his seat to continue playing the game.
The others also returned to their seats. No one spoke in the training room, but listening to the sound of keyboards and mice clicking, except for Baozi's side, the others were very mechanical and stiff. Obviously, everyone was still digesting what had just happened and couldn't calm down for a while.
As for Mei Guang, it was clear that what Ye Xiu and the others couldn't understand at all was that the process of building this model was the most difficult for Mei Guang, but interpreting the problems that this model could explain was no problem for him. In a short while, Mei Guang ran back to QQ to call Ye Xiu again.
Ye Xiu didn't make a sound, so as not to alarm those restless guys again. After saying hello, Mei Guang sent something over again, saying, "See if this is okay?"
Ye Xiu took it and saw that the familiar Mei Guang style was back! Like Mei Guang's strategy guide, it was so啰嗦 啰嗦 (luosuo - verbose) and so detailed. But at this time, Ye Xiu needed such detail, and he immediately praised him.
"Then I'll continue," Mei Guang said, and then went offline again.
"Come on, take a look at this," Ye Xiu then called Wei Chen. After all, Wei Chen was the researcher of these things, had a deeper impression, and knew more about it. When he came over to take a look at Mei Guang's strategy guide, he was also constantly amazed. It turned out that what Wei Chen had originally described in his draft was now basically digitized by Mei Guang. More importantly, the logical relationships between various triggering conditions were clearly organized.
Wei Chen originally had such things, but that was experience and intuition. What Mei Guang had organized was science.
"Why don't you try it?" Wei Chen couldn't wait to know the result.
"Yeah, let's all try it," Ye Xiu said, calling out to Baozi and Tang Rou. The material that Mei Guang had just organized happened to be the task content of the ordinary servers.
There were a lot of tasks in Glory. If you only wanted to level up, it was impossible to complete all of these tasks. What's more, Glory was no longer a new game. There were various fast leveling methods and routes summarized by veteran players. The tasks were also carefully selected. Almost everyone followed the same task route.
However, this situation was much better in the new servers. After all, not everyone likes to refer to strategy guides before playing a game. New players explored on their own and did tasks on their own, so the game content was actually very rich.
Tang Rou and Baozi, two new players, were not enthusiasts of tasks. Tang Rou was not interested in tasks at all. If it weren't for the attribute rewards or skill point rewards given by some tasks that were necessary to do, she might have ignored all the tasks directly. Baozi did whatever he thought of, with no planning. Maybe he was fighting monsters, and you shouted, "Baozi, come do a task," and he would come immediately. Or maybe he was doing a task, and you shouted, "Baozi, come to the dungeon," and he would immediately drop the task and run to the dungeon.
The material given by Wei Chen was an important part of creating a character account. Skill points were important for determining the level of skills, which meant the strength of the character's combat ability. So, after discovering that Wei Chen had actually researched such a thing, Ye Xiu didn't care whether it was really useful or not, and first looked at what the task part contained. If there were any necessary tasks, he deliberately avoided them.
After all, these tasks were not daily tasks. They could not be repeated after being done. Otherwise, why would Wei Chen need to research so much? Wouldn't it be enough to research one and repeatedly刷 刷 (shua - farm)? Moreover, if there was a reward that could be repeatedly刷 刷 (shua - farm), there would be no need for people to research it. With so many players, an ordinary daily task that could be repeated, any connotation would probably be tested by the sea of people without any secrets.
And now, after Mei Guang's touch, this material has finally become more accurate and real. Researching the game to this point has really reached the limit. To be even better, one would only be able to directly modify the game settings to serve themselves, and that would be called a cheat.
