Chapter 16: Famous Teacher
The ensuing summer vacation increased Lin Yuan’s tutoring schedule from half a day per week to three half days per week.

Working 12 hours a week, 200 yuan per hour, a total of 2400 yuan for seven days.

And it’s settled every week.

There was no assessment yet. Or rather, the assessment method was changed to whether the three young masters were happy in their studies.

Lin Yuan also has free control over the teaching content.

In order to avoid making his teaching look too ridiculous, he added some content related to primary school courses. He found the mathematics teaching outline for primary school education in Zijin City and casually went over the knowledge points on it with the three little guys.

Finally, I did not forget to instill one thing in them: If you find that you cannot learn, you should first ask yourself whether you really want to learn. If you do not want to learn, then pass. If you want to learn but still cannot learn, then you should learn to question the textbook in front of you and the teacher standing in front of you.

You must firmly believe that the reason you cannot learn is most likely not your own fault, but the fault of the teacher or the teaching materials.

It was the first time that the three little ones heard such a shocking conclusion, especially coming from a student from a prestigious university.

Of course, Lin Yuan had his own agenda. There are naturally idiots in the world who can never learn anything. But the biggest obstacle to personal learning is always the lack of self-recognition.

After all, he had gotten a lot of money from the parents of these three little guys, so Lin Yuan still wanted to instill in them the most precious wealth - the confidence that they can live for 200 years.

In addition to formal teaching, Lin Yuan also asked them to buy some smart hardware to play with.

Smart hardware based on Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms has long been mature and popular on the Internet. For primary school students, there is no need to understand the implementation principles, as long as they can assemble them.

Since the three families were well-off, Lin Yuan asked them to buy a lot of smart hardware.

Then I taught them simple graphic programming, and all kinds of cars and robot dogs kept running around the house all day long.

Later, Lin Yuan casually mentioned that running on the ground was not as fun as flying in the sky, so the three little guys pestered him to teach them how to assemble a shuttle.

Although there are ready-made shuttles for sale online, you can DIY some accessories if you assemble one yourself, such as installing a soft bullet launcher.

Until one day, the three little guys secretly installed an electric heating wire on the shuttle, and then replaced the soft bullet in the soft bullet launcher with a sky rocket.

Then the cats and dogs in the community suffered.

When Lin Yuan was explaining physics, he demonstrated the heating wire to them. He also worked with them to think about how to adjust the friction of the soft bullets in the soft bullet chamber so that they would not fall out during flight, but also would not be unable to be launched due to excessive friction.

As a result, the three mythical beasts applied what they learned actively and mastered the knowledge points.

Since then, Lin Yuan was no longer allowed to teach them how to use smart hardware. In fact, he didn't dare to teach them anymore.

Boys are born with no resistance to powerful things, and their DNA exudes innate restlessness.

After that, Lin Yuan had no choice but to teach them programming.

But since they are still children, I could only teach them some simple graphic programming.

In order to make it more interesting and improve their interest in learning, Lin Yuan taught them programming by making games.

He first taught them to write Tetris, but apparently Tetris wasn’t attractive enough.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan taught them how to write a simplified version of Angry Birds.

Fortunately, there are many ready-made frameworks available for game programming, and simple 2D horizontal games do not require too much knowledge reserves, so Lin Yuan can learn and apply them at the same time.

But, in the end, Angry Birds was not made. Instead, it was: Beating up children.

This was a game that Lin Yuan had played when he was a child, so long ago that he could no longer remember the entire game. However, during one class, he was irritated by the three beasts, and Lin Yuan made a joke helplessly, "I really want to revisit 'beat up the kids'."

Then he was asked "What is beating up children?" Lin Yuan roughly described the game based on his memory.

He even checked on the 4366 mini-game website. Sure enough, this extremely discordant game had long since disappeared. But suddenly one day, a parent contacted Lin Yuan late at night.

"Teacher Xiaolin, aren't the games you teach the children to make a little inappropriate for children?"

Lin Yuan was very puzzled at the time, "The game between the bird and the pig head is not a real fight."

"Teacher Xiaolin, I didn't see any birds."

“【Picture】” The parent sent a picture.

Lin Yuan then asked in detail and finally found out the whole story. It turned out that the three beasts had learned game programming and after hearing Lin Yuan's ideas, they closed the door every night and divided the work through the Internet, and finally came up with this dark game for teenagers - Beat Up Children.

The game as a whole doesn't have any particular style; it's just stick figures drawn with a pencil on paper.

The game is quite exciting, and the stick figures' limbs can be knocked off. It even supports multiplayer online PK.

The parents only discovered it after being reminded by the teacher. It turned out that the three beasts had even posted their works to the class QQ group to show off.

Fortunately, several parents did not blame Lin Yuan, but instead affirmed his teaching achievements.

After all, it is not uncommon for little boys of this age to do something out of line, so just guide them well.
-
Halfway through the summer vacation, Lin Yuan had saved nearly 10,000 yuan. He would soon have enough money to pay for his tuition and living expenses. If he spent frugally, he could even send some money home.

Lin Yuan enjoys his life as a hacker very much. He even calls himself the hacker with the least ambition.

One night in late July, Lin Yuan attended a birthday party for one of his students. With his status as a teacher and his fame for his masterpiece "beating up a kid", Lin Yuan gained a reputation for "flexible teaching" and was praised as "worthy of being a graduate student from a prestigious university".

Enjoying delicious food and receiving gifts, Lin Yuan had a very pleasant night. Many parents came to him to ask him to teach their children.

Due to the international trade disputes caused by semiconductors in recent years and the emergence of chatGPT this year, Lin Yuan's background in computer science with a major in AI has become even more popular.

It just so happened that Lin Yuan had learned something about chatGPT in his spare time, and taking advantage of being slightly tipsy after drinking a little, he didn't control his mouth.

"ChatGPT is not as powerful as the outside world thinks. This is due to its underlying principles. It is essentially based on the transformer system, but it is just powerful enough to make bricks fly..."

How could these people know anything about transformers? After all, the most popular AI course these days is taught by a crossover student from the Academy of Fine Arts of Peking University and Tsinghua University. This shows that people tend to care more about packaging and ignore the essence of AI. Of course, this is mainly because people don’t understand the technology and therefore can’t see through the essence.

Lin Yuan therefore had a sense of mystery, which attracted even more people's attention.

Many parents have been giving Lin Yuan their business cards, as if they regard Lin Yuan as a future IT tycoon.

Most of these people have some money, but not very rich. They are much richer than the average person, but they can't break through their ceiling. They rack their brains all day long to catch the next opportunity for wealth explosion, but they don't have many information channels.

Since AI is very popular right now, they will naturally be extremely concerned about it.

These people generally have family assets starting at tens of millions, and in Lin Yuan's opinion, they are truly middle class. Earning money from these people is much easier than delivering takeout.

On the way back that night, Lin Yuan shared a car as usual to save money. Nowadays, he is not so poor as to walk a long way to catch the subway, but he still sticks to the principle of saving money wherever possible.

The car window was dim at night, and the tipsy Lin Yuan rested his right hand on the car door, his palm resting on his chin, watching everything with enjoyment. He seemed to be slowly blending into this place.

Lin Yuan was so intoxicated that he didn't even notice that there were passengers sitting next to him and sharing the ride.

As the car drove on, fewer and fewer people passed by on the road, and finally it stopped in a remote place.

Lin Yuan asked in confusion, "Master, why don't you leave?"

He didn't realize that the person sitting next to him was actually paying close attention to him throughout the journey.
