Xueba's computing system

Chapter 1 A Simple System

In early June 2024, in front of the gate of Zijin Aviation School, Zijin City.

The large gold-plated characters "Zijin Aeronautics and Astronautics University" sparkled brightly in the sun. Lin Yuan covered his eyebrows with his hands and looked at it carefully under the scorching sun.

The yellow robe he was wearing was as brilliant as the golden characters, except that Lin Yuan's yellow robe was printed with the characters "Haotuan Takeaway".

Lin Yuan is a second-year undergraduate student who graduated last year in 2023. Like many undergraduates after the expansion of university enrollment, Lin Yuan seems to have studied at university, but also seems not to have studied at university.

After graduating from software engineering, he sent out hundreds of resumes, but most of them were ignored. Even if he was invited to an interview, he was either eliminated in the first round or was assigned to a CURD role.

After working for a few months, Lin Yuan was fed up with the endless nonsense at work and the dilemma of not being able to learn any skills. He resolutely decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

After being beaten by society, Lin Yuan thought about it and considered taking the civil service exam. However, after reading the civil service exam materials, he found that his brain was like a sieve and he was naturally not interested in the civil service exam materials. He tried his best but still couldn't format his brain.

This is just like the file system of a computer hard disk. There is a compatibility conflict between NTFS and FAT32.

So Lin Yuan decided to change his bleak life trajectory by taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

Since he was trying to change his fate, Lin Yuan knew clearly that applying for a graduate school in a rubbish school would only mean wasting three more years. So Lin Yuan decided to either not take the exam or apply to a prestigious school.

But it is not easy to get into a prestigious school. You have to pass a written test first, and then an interview.

The more prestigious the university, the more they value your performance during the interview. If they find that you are just an exam machine, have not been to the laboratory many times, and have mediocre ability and interest in scientific research, they will almost certainly not pass you.

For an ordinary second-year undergraduate student like Lin Yuan, passing the written test is already very difficult.

Therefore, the difficulties Lin Yuan faced were like mountains.

But Lin Yuan had no choice.

If you don't want to waste your life in a rented house and don't want to have no place of your own in this city, then you have no choice but to take a gamble.

Lin Yuan finally decided to go for it.

After that, he quit his job, but the savings from half a year's work soon ran out. So Lin Yuan naturally chose to "wear the yellow robe".

No other reason. It's just because the food delivery business is more flexible.

When I feel tired of studying, I can deliver takeout. Not only can I earn money to support myself, but I can also breathe fresh air and exercise my body.

I thought so, but the reality is not so.

Under the heavy workload of studying, Lin Yuan felt dizzy and accidentally got into a car accident while delivering a takeaway.

Fortunately, after waking up, it was a blessing in disguise and I had something extra in my mind.

[Current cumulative computing power: 1024P. ]

【Task list: XXX. 】

Lin Yuan didn't know what to call this thing, and recalling the online articles he had read, he decided to call it a system for the time being.

But this system is too plain and simple.

The entire interface only has "Task List" and "Accumulated Computing Power".

Completing tasks will earn you accumulated computing power, and the consumed computing power can be used for calculations.

After obtaining the computing power system, Lin Yuan felt like a long-awaited rain.

He took the postgraduate entrance examination blindly. He did not take the examination for any lofty ambitions, but just to change his own destiny.

It can be said that Lin Yuan’s goal is clear, but he is confused about how to achieve it.

Lin Yuan was undecided about which school or major to choose.

Considering that he majored in software engineering in college, Lin Yuan's first choice was to study a computer-related major. Considering the current popularity of AI, Lin Yuan's first choice was the AI branch of the computer major.

He had not originally thought about applying to Zijin University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, but the computing system gave him this task.

Based on his experience of using the computing system for half a year, Lin Yuan instinctively believed in the system's judgment, and therefore followed the system's task instructions.

In the past six months, under the guidance of the system, Lin Yuan's learning efficiency has increased rapidly. In the just-concluded national graduate school entrance examination, he finally reached the score line of Zijin Aviation School.

Today is the day that Lin Yuan comes to Zijin Aviation School for an interview.

[Task: Enroll in the computer science major at Zijin Aeronautics and Astronautics University. Reward: Some computing power.]

[better: choose AI direction.] Better means the task is advanced and will get more rewards. Lin Yuan regarded this as the task completion rating.

In order to make a living, Lin Yuan had to deliver a few takeout orders on the day of the interview.

At present, Lin Yuan is only a non-key university student who has passed the written test of a prestigious university, which is not enough to find a tutoring job. He still has no choice but to choose the delivery job, which has more flexible hours and lower threshold.

Lin Yuan planned to survive this period. As long as he could successfully enroll in school, he could use the halo of a prestigious school to participate in the high-income education industry and take off this yellow robe.

"There are five minutes left for your order." The delivery system's urging reminder sound came through the headset.

Lin Yuan had to look away and quickly turned on the accelerator of his electric scooter and sped away.

In a corner that Lin Yuan didn't notice, a mother and her child were pointing at Lin Yuan's back.

"You see, if you don't study hard, you will end up like him."
-
After Lin Yuan placed the last order of takeout on the takeout stand at the entrance of the dormitory building, he planned to find a place to change his clothes.

It’s not that he has no shame, so he wouldn’t wear “Haotuan Waimai” clothes to the interview. He even wore a big mask.

"Master, I really can't find it!"

The girl on the phone had a nice voice, but her brain was obviously not very smart. Even though Lin Yuan took a photo of her, she still couldn't find her takeaway.

"It's on the first shelf on the left side of the door, in the middle of the third layer from the bottom up." Lin Yuan replied patiently.

"Really? No! Can you come over and help me find it?"

Lin Yuan often encountered this kind of situation when delivering food. In order to avoid being complained, Lin Yuan had no choice but to turn back. Who told him to rely on delivering food for a while?

Lin Yuan returned to the girls' dormitory building where he had just been. A tall figure was waiting anxiously in front of the takeaway stand.

"Hello, Master. Look, there's obviously nothing there." The girl pointed at the empty takeaway shelf and frowned at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked in the direction the other person was pointing and then became speechless.

"Student, it's the shelf on the left side of the door. The one you're referring to is on the left side of the door."

"Ah?" The girl looked confused, "Left, right. Which one is it?"

Lin Yuan walked straight to the shelf, picked up the takeaway and handed it to the other person, "Classmate, this is for you."

It was obvious that the other party's brain was lacking in computing power. If his computing system could transfer computing power, Lin Yuan would like to give her some.

"Thank you, Master."

Lin Yuan then turned and left without staying any longer because of the other person's beauty.

"Master, wait a minute." The girl stopped Lin Yuan, then walked quickly forward, tore open the takeaway bag and took out a cup of milk tea from it.

"I'm sorry, Master. I made you come all the way back."

Lin Yuan realized that the other party must have thought that his return would affect the order, so he specially gave him a cup of milk tea.

Such kind-hearted customers are truly rare, and most people would just say a few words of apology.

"No need, I didn't run far." In fact, the building where Lin Yuan was about to have an interview was not far from here, so he was not delayed too much.

But the girl obviously didn't expect that the delivery man in front of her was here for a graduate school admission interview, "Here you go."

After saying that, the girl put the milk tea into the basket of Lin Yuan’s electric scooter, then turned and left.

Lin Yuan stopped being polite. Although the weather in June was not too hot, Lin Yuan, who had been running back and forth, was thirsty at the moment.

He immediately took off his mask, but then he discovered...

"Classmate, you..."

The girl stopped walking when she heard that. "Hey, Master, don't be polite to me."

"No, you didn't give me the straw."

"Ah? Hahaha~~~" The girl looked embarrassed, then took out a straw from the bag and handed it over.

Lin Yuan then disappeared from her sight.
