Chapter 143 - 142 Iron Chains Linked

"Oh?" Li Zheng looked at her coquettish resistance, immediately got excited, "Don’t fall in love with me, I’m just a legend~"

"Ah, this is so embarrassing." Wu Shu couldn’t hold back anymore, doubled over with laughter, "Stop, please stop, hahaha."

How could he stop, just like having learned how to tickle, how could he possibly stop?

"Wow, my brother’s amazing," Li Zheng rubbed his hands together.

"Haha, that’s enough now."

"Bro doesn’t live on bread alone, he thrives on loneliness."

"Okay, please, I’m dying here, hahaha!"

Li Zheng was having fun with old jokes, but he didn’t know…

The forty or so bespectacled guys who had come to gather were already eyeing him fiercely, their eyes bloodshot.

The only girl in the camp, officially recognized by all the top students as the Physics Queen…

How did this kid mess her up like this?

The queen has collapsed!

But to be fair, to tell the truth.

They wanted to join in too.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t think of such old jokes.

...

About ten minutes later, under the organization of Shen Yiyun and her two seniors, all the students attending the training had gathered, with Shen Yiyun calling the role and briefly describing the training process.

Except for Wu Shu, who was half lying on her suitcase, laughing foolishly from time to time, everyone else stood straight up.

The training content this time was mainly experiments, totaling four days, with an experimental exam on the afternoon of the fourth day. Combined with preliminary theoretical exam results, the top 13 students would be selected for the provincial team to represent Jijing in the National Chemistry Olympics at the beginning of December.

Students who registered for the Golden Autumn Camp would stay an extra day after the training for an additional theoretical assessment.

It’s worth mentioning that the Vice Dean of the Chemical Institute, Zhou Yi, would pay close attention to every student throughout, submitting his recommendations to the admissions office based on their performance.

Li Zheng learned from everyone’s casual conversations that Zhou Yi was very famous within the circle, different from other professors who were low-key. He was a scholar who focused on teaching. For the past five years, almost all of the Chem Institute’s competition places had been single-handedly decided by him.

Having such immense authority showed that Zhou Yi was trusted by everyone, top to bottom, inside and out.

Hmm, such a fair and talented scholar is unlikely to hold a grudge over the Porsche incident.

After understanding the general arrangement, the students placed their luggage at a designated spot and then headed to the Chemical Institute’s small auditorium with their backpacks to attend the opening ceremony of the training.

Although there were only about fifty people in the entire auditorium, as soon as Zhou Yi took the stage, he was still met with thunderous applause.

"Cheng Huan! Cheng Dahuan!"

"Teacher Zhou, I want to Cheng Huan!"

Zhou Yi himself wasn’t very serious either, facing the students’ calls, he held the microphone and laughed, "Okay, okay, don’t rush, in four days, I guarantee you will Cheng Huan, if you don’t Cheng Huan, I will Cheng Huan."

In a harmonious atmosphere, Zhou Yi went completely off-script and spoke as if he were taking a stroll.

"Let me tell you a true joke first."

"Many students have had this thought process—"

"[When studying for Chem Competitions: My dream is to get into the Evolution Institute and win a Nobel Prize.]"

"[After successfully entering the Chemical Institute: I’m set at the Chemical Institute, I just spend every day thinking about how to transfer to another department.]"

Amidst laughter, Zhou Yi didn’t stop.

"Also, here’s an even more realistic joke."

"In our Ji University’s Math Department, Teacher Wei, greets the freshman with this during their first lesson—"

"[Our Math Department’s graduation rate has always been the second lowest in the entire university, so you guys need to work hard to change this historical fact; however, don’t worry about slipping because the last place is definitely reserved for the Chemical Institute.]

Amid more laughter, Li Zheng sat proudly, forcibly twisting his face in disdain.

It turns out the Chemical Institute’s cold jokes are actually a series.

If the Dean is this droll, it’s no surprise the senior sister is too.

However, Li Zheng didn’t know that he had already been targeted.

"Hey!" Zhou Yi’s eyes brightened, he gestured at Li Zheng, "Based on your expression, do you think my jokes are too cold, not realistic enough?"

Li Zheng and the people around him looked around blankly, trying to see who was being so arrogant.

Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Stop looking, it’s you, the only student not wearing glasses."

The target was clear in an instant.

Li Zheng struggled to raise his hand and touched his eye socket, then looked to his left at Ou Xingzhuo, just wanting to borrow a pair of glasses.

Ou Xingzhuo immediately dodged.

At the same time, Li Zheng also felt a chill shooting from the stage.

Looking at the smiling dean, Li Zheng’s understanding of society matured a bit more.

I thought you were someone with great tolerance.

How could you... be so petty?

Was it just because I didn’t laugh at the joke?

Li Zheng hastily employed his emotional intelligence and laughed generously, "Haha, that’s really funny, Zhou, too real hahaha."

Dead silence.

His hypocrisy enraged both gods and men.

Zhou Yi looked at Li Zheng, his smile growing more and more like a chubby doll.

"No worries, for a student who is exceptionally good at chemistry, these jokes indeed do not hold. Regardless, I really admire your attitude, young man. You’ve got spirit, and that’s perfect," Zhou Yi said with a raised eyebrow and a smile, "Since that’s the case, my lecture probably isn’t suitable for you. Instead of wasting time, why don’t we..."

He said and turned to Shen Yiyun, "Like this, Shen, I just happen to have a problem in my bag. Take it out and let this student solve it. It’s a simple question. By the time I’ve finished speaking, he should have solved it too."

Shen Yiyun, who was sitting in the front row, also widened her eyes and desperately signaled Zhou Yi.

You’ve got the wrong person, Dean, this isn’t Ou Xingzhuo!

This kid is a good junior!

He didn’t treat you like a punching bag!

However, Li Zheng was exceptionally honest and had already picked up his pencil case and stood up.

The dean might be petty, yet frightening.

But he actually challenged me with a problem.

Dean, you’ve hit iron!

In this way, under the sympathetic gazes of all the members, Li Zheng walked alone to a table beside the auditorium and began solving problems.

Shen Yiyun stood by his side, wanting to remind him, but was commanded by Zhou Yi to go prepare in the teaching laboratory.

All she could do was wish him well and leave, disheartened.

Zhou Yi’s lecture was still ongoing, but the only thought in Li Zheng’s mind was—

Cheng Huan, big rings!

Zhou Yi’s problem, Cheng Huan is correct.

But as soon as he reviewed the problem—

He vomited.

The problem was a compound called (+)-Nakadomarin A.

And it came with a structural diagram.

It was a diagram of countless hexagons accumulated and stacked together.

In addition, there were many strangely shaped chains around the edges.

The entire structure looked like a rotten beehive.

This was no longer an issue of big rings or small rings.

This was a chain of iron rings!

[Question one: Please describe how many rings are in this class of alkaloids and how they are formed.]

Seeing this question and then that chain of iron rings.

Li Zheng felt his head was going to split apart.
