Study Monster Cultivation System

Chapter 146 - 145 It’s so sudden

After the opening ceremony, the students came to a small classroom, where Zhou Yi began his competitive organic chemistry class.

Without a doubt, there were many cycles.

And the pace was extremely fast, the content highly concentrated.

It was almost assumed that everyone was at the level of an undergraduate from a prestigious university.

At this time, some with shaky foundations, who had gambled on certain knowledge points and guessed right to win a provincial top spot, gradually began to feel overwhelmed.

After all, within the domain of the provincial team selection, the gap between 70 points and 90 points was enormous. Weirdos like Li Zheng, who had devoured all knowledge points, were actually rare.

Of course, Li Zheng didn’t care about others; he himself was thoroughly enjoying the lecture.

Or rather, this was the most enjoyable lecture he had ever attended in his life.

The lecture content, nicely on the edge between his known and unknown territories, rushed on wildly like an untamed horse. Not only was it highly efficient and exhilarating, but it also reinforced some previously shaky knowledge points along the way.

Such a master’s class was truly as precious as gold.

As for Zhou Yi himself, he was subconsciously exchanging intense looks with Li Zheng, interacting with him on every question.

However, their interaction was the agony of others.

Zhou Yi, "You understand this cycle, right?"

Li Zheng, "Understood."

Zhou Yi, "Good, now let’s talk about rubber."

The others, "..."

In this fast-paced interaction, the speed of the lecture accelerated. In just an hour and a half, Zhou Yi had covered a massive amount of content without even realizing it.

At the end of the class, Zhou Yi closed his laptop with a sigh, "This year’s average level in Jijing is high. I covered twice the knowledge points in one lecture compared to last year."

Li Zheng’s face was full of unsated desire, "Extend the class, Teacher Zhou, can we have some more on physical organic chemistry?"

The surrounding students glared at him instantly.

Although they were all top students and liked extended classes,

this was completely incomprehensible!

"Tomorrow, there’s another class tomorrow." Zhou Yi picked up his bag and waved to the students, "I have to check on another venue for the Golden Autumn Camp. This afternoon, you should work well on your experiments, see you tomorrow."

Upon Zhou Yi’s departure, the students started complaining.

"The lecture is good, but it’s way too fast…"

"Forgot everything else, now my head is full of cycles…"

To Li Zheng’s left and right, Ou Xingzhuo and Wu Shu exchanged words as usual.

Wu Shu closed his notebook and breezed through his bangs, "Too bad, I only understood eighty percent."

"Really?" Ou Xingzhuo snickered, "I understood eighty point one percent."

"Oh?" Li Zheng quickly asked, "The Streccker reaction in this antibiotic with a multi-ring system here…"

"Coincidence… coincidentally, I didn’t really get that part either."

"What about the retro-synthesis of Cyanocycline A that the teacher just explained…"

"Suddenly feel like going to the bathroom." Ou Xingzhuo grabbed his bag and stood up, "See you in the cafeteria."

"You’re quite bad," Wu Shu laughed as he packed his backpack, "Teacher Zhou didn’t even cover those two points just now."

"Just testing him," Li Zheng muttered, "After so many losses, how can he still not be honest?"

"He has a very strong sense of pride, always trying to maintain his genius persona no matter the setting," Wu Shu shook his head, rubbing his neck, "There are always bigger fish. He’s probably reaching his limit, I guess he won’t be sleeping tonight."

"Is it really necessary to go all out like this..." Li Zheng asked, "Haven’t both of you been recommended for admission already? Why still fuss over such irrelevant subjects? The people here have studied Chemistry Competitions for several more years, how can you catch up in just a few months?"

"Hah, you have the nerve to say that?" Wu Shu stood up, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and looked out of the window. He habitually blew a breath at his bangs and said, "I don’t know about Ou Xingzhuo, but for me, chemistry is an extension of physics from a microscopic perspective. I want to try and use chemical concepts to re-examine physics; perhaps the secrets of quantum are hidden within."

Li Zheng’s eyes widened.

Watching Wu Shu’s cool, light laugh and tasting the slow-motion flutter of his hair strands.

Academic Fortune!

It was Academic Fortune!

It came out of nowhere.

[Detection of Academic Fortune.]

[Wu Shu: 48]

[Learning Cap: 19.]

[Learning...]

[+0.1...]

Li Zheng was initially astonished at how vigorous Wu Shu’s Academic Fortune was, but then he realized that what he could learn from him was far less than from Shi Yang.

Perhaps because everyone’s brains and talents inevitably overlap, acquiring the same thing again wouldn’t result in a new improvement.

Of course, for now, it was still best to absorb respectfully.

"Indeed, there is a branch in chemistry called ’Physical Chemistry.’" Li Zheng said as he absorbed, "If you really want to say, every chemical reaction is actually a physical process in the microscopic world."

Although Li Zheng was merely explaining, his own thoughts also started to unravel along this path.

Those bonds and rings of magic, those cuts and joins, the intimacy of elements, the transfer of ionization, aren’t they all physical processes?

Or rather, these reactions occur based on physical properties.

Contrarily, Li Zheng, with his current knowledge of chemistry, re-examined the physics he understood.

Seeing that Li Zheng also had some insights, Wu Shu became interested, sat back down, and gestured excitedly: "To be precise, a chemical reaction is actually a collection of many quantum processes, but we still can’t describe it using quantum mechanics. So, essentially, chemistry is the theory we use to describe how matter reacts on a larger scale."

"This understanding is brilliant," Li Zheng exclaimed, slamming the table. "So, chemistry is just a minor branch of my great physics then?"

"Different things, different things," Wu Shu saw Li Zheng was getting overly enthusiastic and quickly raised his arm to soothe him, "The two subjects definitely have important connections, but the current knowledge in physics hasn’t reached the point where it can explain all chemical processes, even how mighty quantum mechanics and the Theory of Relativity are, Newton’s classical mechanics is still the foundation we apply."

"Yes, yes," Li Zheng nodded while organizing his thoughts.

"Let’s go eat, stop thinking for now," Wu Shu stood up and knocked on the table. "Those matters are too far off, focus on the present first."

"Wait," Li Zheng also hurriedly slung his backpack over his shoulders and stood up, "Let’s have one more round."

"You think this is stand-up comedy?"

"Come on, one more."

"No way," Wu Shu defiantly turned his head away, grasping his backpack strap, and moved toward the other students.

"If you won’t, then I certainly will," Li Zheng hurried after him, "What’s up with you, teach me some more tricks," he urged.

"Shut... shut up... don’t..." Wu Shu covered his mouth with both hands, lowered his head, and hurried along, his cheeks puffed up as if about to explode.

"Oh my, you’re putting a lot of pressure on me, don’t you think?"

"Pfft haha!" Wu Shu couldn’t hold back any longer, leaned against the wall, and started pounding it wildly, "Enough... enough, will I do if I continue... hahaha... alright, you say another one... just the last one..."

"How could I, important things must be said three times, oh my, oh my..."

"Hahaha!"

Eventually, Wu Shu fell to the ground, doubling over with joyous tears in his eyes.
