It was in the afternoon when they gathered at classroom 403 of Building A. The final class meeting for the undergraduate mathematics class was held as scheduled.A group of boys squeezed into the classroom. The thin and tall instructor who was wearing a pair of glasses walked over.This instructor’s name was Thomas Wane and he was studying a PhD in mathematics. He was usually busy with his own research project and therefore, he was rarely seen.Although he was busy, he still cared about the class activities. He would arrange a meeting almost every month and talk about safety, discipline, and study techniques. He would even brag to the undergraduate students about the time when he was still studying the bachelor’s degree.Instructor Thomas slowly walked to the podium and put his hands behind his back. He scanned the students below, cleared his throat, and said, “After this meeting today, your first year at the university will come to a successful conclusion. Let me emphasize again on sa

“Blake, Jake, we’re leaving. You guys take care.”“See you in two months.”Edward and Noah carried their suitcases as they waved goodbye. They left and only Jake and Blake stayed in the spacious dorm room.The summer vacation began.Within a week, the entire school was deserted. It would not be the end of August until people started coming back to school. Only then would the school go back to being lively. Not only would the returning students come back, but new students would also arrive.Blake signed up for the summer school application. He said goodbye to Jake and left the dorm with his laptop. He first went to the dorm center to hand in his application before heading towards the library.The style of study at the University of Baymack was intense. Even though a lot of students left the school, the library was still full of students studying for the graduate entrance exam. Piles of books occupied the empty seats, preventing anyone else from taking it.Blake could not help but think

It was early in the morning when Blake crawled out of the bed. He washed himself up in the bathroom and left to eat breakfast.While he was walking, he saw Diane and a tall guy walking together.The two were laughing together and it looked like they were very close. Almost like they were an inch away from holding hands.The guy carried a luggage case. It looked like he was sending her to the train station.Blake did not want to feel awkward so he did not say hello. He just sighed and mourned for Abel for a second.As expected, his intuition was correct.Blake walked slowly to the front gate and looked at the time on his phone. It was exactly nine o’clock.A beautiful figure stood near the front of a sycamore tree. She waved at him as if she was trying to tell him “this way”.Blake noticed Ava and walked towards her.Ava’s appearance today was completely different than what she looked like in the library. It was like she was another person.The thick round glasses became contact lenses

Ava bit her thumb and frowned. She stared at the checkers’ board and started to think hard.The defeat is certain...There is no room for recovery.She spent a long time thinking and finally accepted the defeat. She suggested with a tentative tone.“... Let’s play again.”Blake sighed and looked at the sky.“Can I surrender?”“No!”Ava was so angry she wanted to start stomping her feet.She was always ridiculed for her mathematics questions, “this is too easy”, “another free marks question”, “it’ll be too late for your graduate entrance exams”. She wanted to earn some respect from playing checkers, but Blake did not give her any and even won 10 games in a row. He had even let her start first.Maybe my IQ is just too low?Ava had been called a genius student for the past three years, but now she suddenly had doubts about her life.Ava stubbornly pushed the checkers’ board and still wanted to play. Blake could not help but ask.“Can I ask a question?”Ava answered irritably, “Ask.”Blake

Blake was moved by Professor Phil’s wise words.It turns out Professor Phil really cares about me!However, I have no choice. The system gave me the blueprint, it would be a waste not to use it!After he was done with dinner, Blake went to the library. The librarian watched him borrow analytic geometry, ordinary differential equations, complex transformation real functions, functional analysis, topology and differential geometry, and other related textbooks that were on the system’s book list.A third of the book list contained mathematics books.If he could finish reading the books, he would have basically finished an undergraduate mathematics degree course.But...Blake looked at the pill bottle and thought, “Is 40 focus capsules enough?” He was unsure.He shook his head and decided not to think about it. He would try his best to complete the system mission.As for what would happen if the pills ran out?He would have to worry about that question later.Blake twisted open the pre-pre

After explaining everything, Mrs. Jennifer left her house.Blake stood in front of Jane’s door. He looked at the keys in his hand and contemplated for a bit. Finally, he put the keys in his pocket and knocked on the door.Bong!Blake heard a soft muffled sound.It seemed that the door was knocked by a pillow of some sort.“Leave, I’m warning you. I’ll call the police if you come in!”This girl has such a bad attitude...Her voice is pretty nice though.Blake shrugged. He was not angry at all. He said through the door, “I don’t care. I get paid regardless. But is this what you want? I’ll get a thousand yuan for the five hours.”Anyone who heard a thousand yuan must feel bad right?Blake tried to change his approach, but he underestimated the attitude of rich people.“Oh,” a cold voice traveled through the door. Jane said with a careless and loud voice, “Do what you want, that woman has a ton of money anyway. Who cares how she spends her money, you might as well be adopted by her.”This

Blake was slightly shocked. He pulled out his phone and saw that Mrs. Jennifer did actually sent him a message.[Teacher Blake, my apologies. I have a meeting at the office and I can’t make it back. it could be ten o’clock until I come back. I’ll pay you double the salary for your inconvenience. Hope you can forgive me.]Double salary...Which means, 400 yuan an hour?Blake took in a deep breath as he thought, “Ma’am, don’t be polite. You don’t even have to come back tonight!”He obviously knew that it would not happen.Jane poked her head out of the kitchen, looked at Blake, and asked, “Are you eating the chicken or beef flavored? There’s only sandwiches in the fridge. That woman locked the door so we can’t order food delivery.”Blake looked at the frozen sandwiches in her hand and could not help but ask, “You’re eating that for dinner?”“Is there a problem?” asked Jane. She did not care at all.Of course there’s a problem!Blake sighed. He stood up from the sofa and walked towards t

It was the next day when Blake wanted to buy Ava food as a show of gratitude for helping him get this job.However, he did not know if they should eat KFC or yellow chicken and so, he was stuck in this decision.So he asked the only person alive in his dorm for advice: JackJack was playing video games with his online friends. He was killed and sent back to the respawn fountain. He felt annoyed and did not pay any attention to Blake’s question. He did not even turn his head to anwer, “Spicy hotpot. It’s cheap and affordable!”Then...Blake decided at that.They went to a place called Shancheng Spicy Hotpot on the street in front of their school. Ava had a ponytail and sat across from Blake. She was sticking her tongue out from the spiciness.Ava wanted to cry from the spice but she powered through. She continued eating as she asked, “How was it? Is there any hope for my cousin’s mathematics?”Is it even that spicy?Blake ate a fish ball and was confused. He chewed and spoke at the sam
