As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 1 Clark, the Wizard Stranded on Earth
The heat in Jiangcheng in October has not completely dissipated, making every outsider who is there sigh that Jiangcheng is indeed a famous furnace.

In a large classroom in the fifth teaching building of Jiangcheng University, the teacher was giving a lecture while the students were whispering below.

"Why did you choose this course? I have never heard of any of my classmates taking elective courses in advance.

The girl, who looked a little immature but still pretty, raised her eyebrows and said:
"My sister also studied for her undergraduate degree at Jiangcheng University. 'College Student Mental Health' is a typical elective course with high credits and good grades. Basically, as long as you are not absent for roll call, you can get more than 90 points. The teacher will not deliberately limit your GPA. I was the first one to choose it when I was selecting the course."

Jiangcheng University implements a credit system. Except for Hongyi Academy, undergraduate students need to complete 150 credits to graduate. These 150 credits are divided into professional compulsory courses, professional electives, public compulsory courses and public electives. Courses like English and physical education are public compulsory courses, and the course "College Students' Mental Health" that Zheng Li and Li Miaomiao are currently taking is a public elective.

Freshmen usually only choose required courses for their major and required public courses.

"What does GPA statistic mean?" As a new college student, Zheng Li felt that the other party knew a lot more than he did.

Li Miaomiao whispered, "GPA is limited. Some teachers only give 90% of students above 90 points. Even if you get 89 points, the teacher will only give you . This is called GPA. GPA is very useful for you to stay in graduate school, take the postgraduate entrance examination, or study abroad after graduation. Of course, it mainly depends on your professional course GPA. The GPA of public elective courses is at best a reference."

"But if you want to apply to a top university, or want to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, the GPA of public elective courses can be quite useful."

"Your School of Mathematics is not so bad, there are few people studying mathematics and the competition is not fierce. The School of Economics and Management has many people, and everyone is a top scorer. Every credit is important. I don't want to be like my sister who has to retake classes to improve her GPA in her junior year."

"You know, if you perform well in your sophomore and junior years, you still have the opportunity to go to the Hongyi Class. The School of Mathematics Hongyi Class has two public-funded places to go to Pennsylvania State University every year. Although Pennsylvania State University is not as good as the University of Pennsylvania, it is a direct doctoral program."

Li Miaomiao loves chatting, and in the short three days that she had known Zheng Li through a week-long couples activity, she felt that he was a very good listener and his responses were just right.

Zheng Li’s concluding remarks often made her eyes light up. It was precisely because they got along well that she brought Zheng Li to take the elective course with her.

Li Miaomiao looked straight ahead, pretending to be listening attentively, while her mouth moved slightly as she kept talking.

"The School of Mathematics has very good benefits. Almost half of the students in the base class are admitted to graduate school. In addition, if you go abroad and give up the admission, you can be admitted as long as you don't fail. However, if you want to stay in the school and pursue scientific research, you should try not to choose a professor who has been away from front-line scientific research for a long time. Pure laissez-faire is very painful for people who want to do something."

"If I really couldn't learn math, I would have wanted to major in math in my undergraduate degree and switch to finance in my graduate degree."

"But I heard that some leaders of the School of Mathematics will send their talented graduate students abroad, under the euphemism of Sino-foreign joint training, but in fact they just send you abroad to let foreign professors choose topics for you and publish papers, and then put their names on the papers."

"Otherwise, how could they publish so many papers in a year? Even the best professors in the School of Mathematics are not so productive."

"But this is something that everyone in the company has a tacit understanding of. It is reasonable and legal, and no one will interfere."

Li Miaomiao chatted for a long time, she heard the gossip about the mathematics department from her sister, and Zheng Li usually gave a thoughtful response. This time, Zheng Li ignored her after she finished speaking.

"Could it be that because I mentioned the unspoken rules of the School of Mathematics, Zheng Li felt that he had to avoid suspicion and didn't know what to say? He doesn't seem to be such a pedantic person." Li Miaomiao thought.

She turned her head and saw that Zheng Li was lying on the table with his head buried between his arms. The veins on his forehead that were not completely submerged in his arms were bulging and sweat was dripping down.

Li Miaomiao looked at the two vertical air conditioners in front and behind the classroom with some panic. The buzzing sound of the blowers proved that they were not slacking off. Her body also told her that the indoor temperature would not exceed 26 degrees.

Large classrooms are crowded, mostly young people, and they like to set the air conditioning to a very low temperature.

But why was Zheng Li sweating profusely and his body shaking from time to time? It shouldn't be because of the heat.

"Eh? Are you okay? If you're not feeling well, we can sneak out the back and the public elective teacher won't care."

The wind was very quiet that day. I just treated my acquaintance with Zheng Li as a new friend. The episode in life could not change the dullness and ordinariness of the day. It was on such an ordinary day that in this classroom, Zheng Li's soul was replaced by Clark, a wizard from an unknown dimension.

Clark is the God of Magic of the Holy Mage Alliance. When he was helping his long-time friend with his research project to become a God of Magic - how to create an artificial black hole, they successfully created a black hole in their latest experiment.

However, the huge gravitational field in the black hole made it impossible for them to escape, and the measures they had prepared before were of no use.

Clark was fortunate to have preserved his immortal soul. His soul, wrapped in his memories, came to the body of an ordinary student on an unknown planet.

Thousands of years of memory and a completely transformed soul are trying to match the human body, just like the Windows 10 system is trying to match an IBM computer with a Pentium processor. The computer will freeze.

While Clark was sorting out Zheng Li's memories, he was getting used to this body. Fortunately, he was young enough, because if he had a 40-year-old body, it would inevitably collapse.

The strength of his soul allowed him to master the language system first. Hearing the concern coming from the side, the brand new Zheng Li stretched out a hand from below and waved, "I'm fine, rest."

Li Miaomiao saw that the other party had answered her, and that she might just be feeling a little uncomfortable, so she didn't say much, but was ready to raise her hand and ask for leave at any time:
"If you need to see a doctor, tell me."

Seeing that everyone was not in the mood for class, the teacher on the stage started chatting about some topics that everyone was interested in:
"When I see you, it's like seeing myself when I was in college many years ago. At that time, I also had all kinds of fantasies and thought that my college life would be turbulent. In the end, I just lived a very ordinary college life, and then stayed in this school to pursue a doctorate, and I have been here until now."

"I have been in Jiangcheng University for almost 20 years. Many students in the audience are talking secretly, and many of them are couples. Other teachers may not have much experience, but I am most experienced in two things. The first is what good food is around Jiangcheng University. I know this very well."

"Go out from the main gate and walk under the viaduct. There is a good cold pot fish restaurant across the road."

"The second point is falling in love. This experience is very rich, both practical and theoretical. Today, the teacher can also give you some small experiences from predecessors." The middle-aged professor in his forties seemed to have a face full of memories and stories.

Li Miaomiao pricked up her ears after hearing this. Not only her, but most of the students in the classroom pricked up their ears. Those who were watching a certain fish live broadcast put down their phones and looked up at the teacher.

"When choosing a partner, people mainly look at three attributes. The first is biological attributes, such as appearance and body shape. These are biological attributes."

"The second is sociological attributes, such as your occupation, family background, social connections, etc. These belong to your sociological attributes."

"The third is spiritual attributes, such as world views, personality and even political spectrum, all of which belong to spiritual attributes."

"Things like IQ and EQ can be both biological and sociological attributes."

"At your age, you may place more emphasis on biological attributes, such as whether a person is handsome or pretty, as the first factor in choosing a spouse. Of course, I believe that students at Jiangcheng University are not so superficial, but it is still an important factor."

“Once you graduate from school and enter society, you may place more emphasis on sociological attributes, but it is the spiritual attributes that will truly determine whether you and your partner will be able to spend your life together smoothly or not.”

Li Miaomiao felt that what the teacher said made a lot of sense. She was willing to have more contact with Zheng Li. The reason they could get along was secondary. The most important thing was that Zheng Li was handsome. He was considered handsome in the whole Jiangcheng University, not to mention in the School of Mathematics, where he was simply very handsome. She believed that he was willing to talk to her for similar reasons. Li Miaomiao was very confident in her appearance.

In the School of Economics and Management, which is filled with beautiful girls, Li Miaomiao's appearance can be remembered at first sight.

"Biological attributes decay the fastest, and all kinds of resources can only delay their aging. Social attributes are like a logarithmic function. When it reaches a certain degree, its growth has a smaller and smaller effect on the increase of your happiness index. Spiritual attributes are like an exponential function, or a linear function."

"Of course, if you have never been in a relationship, you still need more contact. Only with more contact can you know what kind of person you are looking for."

After saying this, the middle-aged professor's face was filled with a gleam of wisdom and experience. When the students in the audience expected him to say more, the professor changed his tone and said, "Okay, let's go back to the standard boundaries of mental health."
