I'm a scientist, why can't I have faith?

Wang Dong's life is back on track, and he can now focus his attention on preparing for his final exams.

However, compared to before, a few changes have occurred.

Just as he had guessed, as his faith level increased, the [god] he worshipped would develop a more obvious connection with him.

Sir Isaac Newton, for example, would be given tasks out of curiosity about artificial intelligence.

Therefore, Wang Dong had anticipated this possibility even before Lord Gauss's faith was elevated.

What he didn't expect was that, compared to Sir Isaac Newton's taciturn nature, Lord Gauss was a complete chatterbox.

Moreover, compared to Sir Newton, Lord Gauss seems more like a real historical figure.

[John Gauss: No, is this all that mathematics has developed since me? Don't these young people spend all their time chasing girls instead of doing research?]

[John Gauss: Hey kid, she's flirting with you, you should be charging in, not running away!]

John Gauss: To be fair, after observing you these past few days, I can say that you're quite handsome, just like I was in my youth.

In addition to preparing for final exams, Wang Dong also had to endure the harassment from Lord Gauss, who could appear at any time and place.

At first, he would try to communicate with Lord Gauss, but he gave up on doing so after a short time.

There's just too much news every day!

And with his replies, there will only be more messages!

Who knew that Lord Gauss would be such a talkative and restless person!

To be fair, Wang Dong was devastated; this was indeed a significant test for his mental health.

However, as the novelty wore off, news from Lord Gauss gradually decreased, from countless comments every day to just one or two brilliant remarks, which greatly reduced Wang Dong's pressure.

He initially thought that Lord Gauss was giving him the silent treatment because of his coldness, but it seemed that he was overthinking it; Lord Gauss was simply less enthusiastic.

After observing for the past two days, Lord Gauss has discovered that Wang Dong's life is incredibly boring and utterly uninteresting!

Without thrilling adventures or using his talents to woo women, he truly didn't know what the point of such a life was.

But Wang Dong was actually enjoying it.

However, Lord Gauss quickly changed his mind; this kid's life was actually quite interesting.

Even in his opinion, Su Yuran's appearance was extremely outstanding.

Since it concerned the distribution of the prize money for the first place winner of the gold medal, Wang Dong still went to see senior Su Yuran before the final exam.

"Ah, you're here, junior. This is the prize money from the competition and a reward from the school. Just sign it and you can take it."

After deducting taxes and miscellaneous rewards, Wang Dong earned a total of 24 yuan in prize money from participating in the "East Asia Smart Cup".

For a freshman just entering university, 24 yuan is a huge sum of money.

While signing, Wang Dong noticed the "Exchange Student Application Form" on the side of the table, which clearly bore the name Su Yuran.

"Senior, are you going on an exchange program?"

Su Yuran saw the application form she had placed on the table and explained:

"Yes, this is a new exchange program that the school proposed this year. It's to the University of Tokyo. If you're selected, you can not only study abroad for free, but also get a large sum of scholarship money."

"Has Yuanpei College not been promoting it much? I heard from my uncle... um... Professor Du Fan that it's a key project of the school."

Wang Dong shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, then said goodbye to his senior and prepared to continue studying for the final exams.

"Study abroad exchange..."

For no apparent reason, Wang Dong thought of what Xia Muyou had said to him during the "East Asia Smart Cup" awards ceremony.

"Going out and seeing the world seems like a good idea..."

Do you know if Yuanpei College has similar projects?

At some point, even Wang Dong developed the idea of ​​wanting to go out and see the world.

In fact, for students who pursue research and academic careers, maintaining an international perspective is extremely important.

After all, even geniuses need to know where the cutting edge of research is in order to keep moving forward.

The little incident passed quickly, and as Wang Dong continued to focus on his final exams, the idea of ​​going out to see the world was put behind him.

But then some people will find it boring.

"Doesn't this kid get bored...?"

In a dark space, a blond, blue-eyed young man stared blankly at the screen in front of him.

The screen shows Wang Dong's own first-person perspective.

He wasn't actually very interested in this kid's life; his concern was purely out of boredom.

After all, there was absolutely nothing he could do here except look at the screen.

The young man sat leisurely on his throne with his legs crossed.

Besides him, eleven other thrones were suspended in the space.

The twelve thrones are arranged around a round table. Besides the young man, three other thrones already have their own masters.

Two of the thrones were just a dark cloud of mist, and only the throne to his right could be vaguely seen as a human-shaped shadow.

However, the dark figure simply sat there quietly, without making any movement.

The young man tried to talk to him, but all he got was silence.

For him, aside from spying on Wang Dong's life, his only pleasure was talking to this wooden-like shadow.

Actually, remaining silent is not so bad, since the other party can't talk back.

"Do you regret it now, Sir Newton?"

The young man made a mocking and sarcastic remark.

"Do you think you can get ahead of others by offering small favors?"

"And that senior believer, even though he's so much ahead of me, isn't his overall progress still lagging behind?"

The young man was very pleased with himself, after all, judging from the result, he had completely crushed the dark figure known as "Isaac Newton".

"Even without having to swallow my pride, he still became my servant."

Faced with the young people's constant mockery, the shadowy figure finally made a move.

He maintained his solemn posture, only raising his head to look at the cynical young man.

Although he couldn't see the glasses, the young man could feel the shadowy figure watching him, and a strange pressure appeared on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

However, this feeling of discomfort quickly disappeared, and a glimmer of golden light appeared in the young man's deep blue pupils.

Seeing that his gaze had been easily dispelled, the shadowy figure returned to its initial posture and remained silent.

"Okay, okay, don't be so angry."

The young man shifted his position on his throne, saying, "Once I achieve my goal, I'll make your disappearance less painful."
