As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 6 Partner
Zheng Li has not gone out these days and has not communicated with his classmates. He has no clear understanding of his reputation in the School of Mathematics.

Since he mentioned the paid answering in the group, Zheng Li instantly became a celebrity in the School of Mathematics. From professors to classmates, everyone knows him. You should know that there are counselors in the freshman group.

Students who can get into Jiangcheng University are usually quite proud, but this is the first time I have seen someone so proud - claiming that there is no problem in mathematical analysis and advanced algebra that he cannot solve.

Zheng Li didn't notice that although no one came to ask him questions these days, the study room was full every night, all of whom came to watch.

Liu Gui also heard about Zheng Li's deeds from Zhang Jixue, who was the mathematics analysis teacher for this class of freshmen. He had extensive teaching experience and was keen on gossip.

Li Miaomiao nodded and replied on the other end of the phone: "Yes, Uncle Liu, I won't say more to you. Thank you! I'll ask my dad to treat you to a meal next time."

Liu Gui was still digesting the news he had just heard, and quickly said, "Don't hang up, did he really do it?"

Li Miaomiao: "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, just ask him to take the test."

Liu Gui: "The problem is that the two questions in Qiu's competition also involve the content of real variable functions and measure theory."

Li Miaomiao: "Then I don't know, maybe they learned it by themselves in advance."

The difficulty of the Qiu Mathematics Examination is roughly equivalent to the entrance examination for a PhD in mathematics in North America. His questions will be taken from his recommended textbooks. It is definitely difficult, but the most important thing is to test the breadth of students' knowledge.

Because at the doctoral level, your mastery of mathematics cannot be limited to a certain subtle aspect. If it is limited to one aspect, your future development will be restricted.

After organizing his thoughts, Liu Gui said, "I heard that he hasn't been to class recently. Please convince him to come for the midterm exam."

Liu Gui was very clear about the rules of the School of Mathematics. From the fact that Zheng Li was able to answer Qiu Sai's questions, he judged that the other party would definitely not come to class and could directly take the final exam.

The School of Mathematics is particularly tolerant of geniuses.

Li Miaomiao smiled evilly and said, "No problem, but what's in it for me?"

Liu Gui thought for a moment and said, "How about two tickets to the Golden Autumn Debate Finals?"

“Glorious Jiangcheng University, eloquent throughout the world!” Debate competition is the most famous event of Jiangcheng University. Among them, the Golden Autumn Debate is the annual debate feast of Jiangcheng University. Each college will send a team representing the highest level of its college to participate.

Tickets for the Golden Autumn Debate Competition finals are always hard to come by, and are usually distributed by lottery.

Even if the professor had free tickets, there wouldn't be many, and Li Miaomiao's father's tickets were taken away by her sister.

Li Miaomiao nodded quickly: "Okay, deal."

Li Miaomiao returned to her seat and looked at Zheng Li carefully, not knowing that Zheng Li had heard her conversation outside clearly.

Zheng Li ignored Li Miaomiao and focused all his attention on the screen in front of him. Zheng Li was studying computer-related knowledge in depth. Algorithms and data structures were very simple for him. What he needed to relearn were computer networks and computer systems.

These belong to a different system from what the mage has encountered before, and their essence and form of expression are different.

"I can't believe you're quite capable. I asked my friend and he said you did everything right."

After a phone conversation with Professor Liu, Li Miaomiao had a new idea:

"The problem I just gave you is from the Qiu Chengtong Undergraduate Mathematics Competition. It is not limited to the knowledge learned in freshman year. It seems that you are not conceited but you do have the ability."

Zheng Li didn't even raise his head and said calmly, "One hundred."

Li Miaomiao didn't expect Zheng Li's first reaction was not to be proud, but to ask for money. She paused for a moment and then said:

"Since you have this level and want to make money, why don't you just teach the students in the School of Mathematics one-on-one and charge only 200 yuan per hour? That's too little."

"Do you know how much the one-on-one math tutor my best friend hired when she was in her senior year of high school cost per hour?" "One thousand and two hours, which is equivalent to five hundred per hour."

Zheng Li was shocked. He set the price based on his tuition. The tuition at Jiangcheng University was charged by credits, and one credit was RMB 100.

Zheng Li thought his fees were already high enough, charging one hundred for half an hour.

He suppressed his shock and repeated expressionlessly, "Give me a hundred first."

Li Miaomiao still didn't respond to his question: "You won't be able to do business like this. You should get full marks in all the major courses you take in your freshman year. After the Chinese New Year, I will help you promote your products in other colleges."

"Find those seniors who are preparing for the postgraduate entrance exams and ask them to tutor you. They can easily earn more than you do."

"You're making 20 yuan an hour like this. In the first phase, I can bring at least 50 people to you. Each person will make yuan an hour, so you'll make yuan an hour."

"I'll help you attract customers, and we'll split the profits 50-50. What do you say?" Li Miaomiao's bright eyes looked at Zheng Li.

Zheng Li ignored her, "You owe me a hundred."

Li Miaomiao acted surprised: "We will be partners in the future, how can you accept this hundred from me?"

Zheng Li: "We agreed on this hundred yuan in advance. If you change your mind after making an agreement, what cooperation can we have?"

Li Miaomiao had no choice but to transfer the money obediently: "This is my living expenses for two or three days. Forget it, since we will be partners in the future, I won't make a fuss about it."

Zheng Li glanced at the transfer record in WeChat. As a mage, he was already very familiar with the technological creations on Earth:

"We can cooperate, but it's not a 50-50 split. It's 90-100, 90% for me and 10% for you."

Li Miaomiao, who was just fantasizing about a wonderful and profitable life next semester, was furious: "Why?"

"Why should I be the only one and you are the only nine? This is too fierce!"

Zheng Li doesn’t understand business, but he understands logic: “My core competitiveness is me, and anyone can attract customers.”

Li Miaomiao was speechless and said, "Anyone can give lectures. There are people in the School of Mathematics who got full marks in professional courses. There was even someone in your School of Mathematics who won the bronze medal in the Qiu competition this year."

Zheng Li: "I can get first place and bronze medal in Qiu competition. Why should I cooperate with you? There are many people who want to cooperate with him, and the price is lower."

"Why don't you take a chance that I can win the gold medal in Qiu? Even a tenth is not too little."

Li Miaomiao was unwilling to be hacked like this, but she had no reason to refute: "Okay, happy cooperation."

"One more thing, you need to take the midterm exam for your major course."

"Why?" Zheng Li asked. He knew why Li Miaomiao brought up this matter and he needed a reason to convince him.

Li Miaomiao: "When we open classes later, you need someone from the School of Mathematics to endorse you. You need to prove your ability. When our potential customers ask their classmates from the School of Mathematics, they will know that someone is endorsing you."

"If you just get full marks on the final exam, people will think there is an element of luck or even cheating, which is hard to convince them."

"Also, I'd like to tell you that during the midterm exams in the first semester of freshman year, the teachers in the School of Mathematics will give you a heads-up by giving you very difficult questions."

"If you can get full marks on the test to prove your ability, you won't be short of people coming to ask you questions in the second half of the semester."
