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

"A pink bear, with its name embroidered on it..."

Wang Dong looked at the refined-looking Qian Ting with a complicated expression, but the other party accepted his things without any reaction.

"Thanks."

Without much conversation, Qian Ting turned and walked towards his room.

Judging from the location where the teddy bear fell onto the balcony, Qian Ting should be living directly above Wang Dong's dormitory.

Wang Dong is now desperately praying that this guy isn't some weirdo, as this is extremely important for his future life.

After the brief incident, Wang Dong returned to his desk and began to carefully examine the thick stack of documents.

With two days left before classes start, he needs to complete his course selection and submit the timetable to the academic affairs office as soon as possible.

After carefully reviewing all the course catalogs and considering J-SCIENCE's selection criteria, Wang Dong created a completely different course schedule.

Instead of continuing with mathematics and physics, this time the curriculum is more focused on biochemistry.

In fact, this was part of Wang Dong's original plan, but it was originally scheduled for the second academic year, but it has now been brought forward because of J-SCIENCE.

Wang Dong originally planned to focus on mathematics and physics in the first year, with information science as a secondary focus, and then begin studying chemistry and biology in the second year after completing all the basic studies.

After all, Yuanpei would have to choose a major after the second year, so Wang Dong planned to understand the characteristics of each discipline before making a choice.

However, J-SCIENCE's competition format is quite unique. Unlike other competitions that focus on vertical selection in a specific field, it chooses to cover all fields.

Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine—almost all sciences that can be applied in practice are covered. The preliminary round is a comprehensive test of super theory. If you have not covered any area of ​​knowledge, no matter how proficient you are in a particular subject, you face the risk of elimination.

For most ordinary people, this is indeed a hellish difficulty, but it undoubtedly ignited Wang Dong's fighting spirit.

In addition to theoretical courses, Wang Dong also chose many experimental courses.

It is important to understand that in today's academic world, simply memorizing knowledge from books is not enough to produce excellent research.

Besides the basic principles, hands-on practice is the most important part.

Many theorists never achieve research results due to practical problems and are only known as armchair strategists throughout their lives. This is especially true in highly practical fields like chemistry and biology, where having good technical skills is often more important than theoretical knowledge.

It is common for ordinary laboratories to be unable to reproduce papers published in top journals. The difference is not only in the equipment and instruments, but also in the technical skills of the people conducting the experiments. These differences often determine the success or failure of the experiments.

Instruments simply help us make operations simpler and more practical, but it's important to know that before instruments existed, academic masters relied entirely on manual labor.

This is why Wang Dong schedules a lot of lab classes.

As for computer science, he only chose one theoretical course, since he had already learned most of the material from his two senior classmates when he participated in the "East Asia Smart Cup".

Wang Dong's only task now is to gain more project experience and keep up with the latest academic information.

Therefore, the course he chose was more like a lecture course, where the professor would share the latest research findings and progress in recent years during each class. It was more like an academic course that taught students how to conduct academic exploration.

Since the timetable was filled out on paper, Wang Dong submitted his course selections to the academic affairs office early the next morning, right on time.

The University of Tokyo is a complicated place. Although submitting your class schedule requires you to go to the academic affairs office in person to get it signed, you can actually check your class information online after that.

Why can't we submit it online directly?

Wang Dong didn't quite understand, but could only respect it.

More importantly, the registration for J-SCIENCE is also conducted offline.

It has to be said that offline matters are quite troublesome; these two things alone took up most of Wang Dong's daytime time.

The registration site for J-SCIENCE was packed with people; Wang Dong even felt that all the students from the University of Tokyo had come to this small registration point to register.

His original plan to take a stroll in the city was temporarily put on hold because after completing his J-SCIENCE registration, he received a text message from the academic affairs office informing him that his course information had been entered into the system and that he needed to go to the designated location to pick up his books.

Because Wang Dong selected too many courses, the corresponding textbooks were as tall as a person, and he couldn't carry them all at once.

By the time he finished all that work and returned to his dormitory, it was already evening.

What have I been doing all day...?

Fortunately, he didn't have to pay any fees for the textbooks, otherwise Wang Dongzhen felt he would have collapsed.

I glanced at the clock; it was time for dinner.

However, Wang Dong did not plan to go to the cafeteria; he planned to buy a bento box from the convenience store downstairs.

After all, when talking about Japan, you should definitely experience what a bento box from a Lawson 711-Eleven is like!

Kidding.

The real reason is that Wang Dong hasn't topped up his electronic currency account with the Southeast University Student Association yet, so he can't pay at the cafeteria.

The most convenient way right now is to top up your phone at a convenience store, so it's natural to just buy a bento box to solve your dinner problem.

After all, not everyone in the world can solve all their problems by simply carrying a mobile phone when they go out, like in Daxia.

Although Japan is also developing mobile payment, the results are clearly not satisfactory.

After carefully selecting his food, Wang Dong took a fried chicken bento and a tuna rice ball to the cashier to pay.

I didn't expect to run into someone I know here.

If Wang Dong wasn't mistaken, the person queuing in front of him seemed to be Kensuke Sugiyama.

A genius of two-finger Zen.

He heard this from Lan Ce, who said that Sugiyama Kensuke's two-finger typing speed was no less than his ten-finger typing speed, and that he had even completed the entire algorithm using two fingers.

This drew admiration from many people at the competition.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have practiced typing with ten fingers. In fact, Wang Dong was a master of two-finger typing before, but he practiced typing with ten fingers later because he was worried about being ridiculed.

Recalling that memory is truly painful. If he had known there wouldn't have been so many problems, he would have used that practice time to read books.

Wang Dong didn't complain; he just felt a little regretful.

Now, he mostly hopes that Kensuke Sugiyama will not turn back.

After all, you said you'd come back. If we hit it off, should I greet you or not?

Not saying hello is very impolite. When you're out and about, you can't let Daxia down.

But if you're talking about greeting each other, it would be awkward if the two of them stood one behind the other without saying anything, right? But he couldn't think of anything for the two of them to talk about.

You can't exactly ask him if he's eaten, can you?

However, reality is not always as people expect.

Wang Dong didn't know what attracted Sugiyama Kensuke, but the result was that the other party turned back.

The two even locked eyes.
