Unfilial disciple, do not ruin your master's dream of ascension and peaceful life.

A few more days have passed, and June has arrived—exam season.

Qianjing has been having a very pleasant time these past few days.

Things are really getting better lately.

The disciple stopped causing trouble at the university and devoted himself to practicing his skills in seclusion in his room every day, no longer bothering him.

The new ascendant didn't bother him anymore, and things were peaceful in Pujiang District. He felt that his favorite life of lying around was back, and he was happy just to relax, play games, and do live streams every day.

During the final exams, Qianjing continued to demonstrate her talent for slacking off, either not going to the exam hall, sleeping in the exam hall, or writing whatever came to mind on the exam paper. Of course, she would also answer the questions seriously on a whim. After the exams, she happened to run into Qianmo and Xinwenyue in the exam hall.

"That last programming problem was so difficult..."

"Yeah, and they're not allowed to adjust the inventory..."

They were comparing answers when they saw Qianjing, and their expressions became quite subtle.

"Hmph, you jerk, I bet you handed in a blank paper again?"

"Who said that? I finished that semiconductor physics exam completely, and I even perfectly calculated the voltage required for semiconductor thermal breakdown on the last big question."

"...I see the sign hanging in your exam room says 'Current Affairs and Policies'?"

"Oh, okay, I'll send it then."

"Why has Ye Yinqiu been staying in her room all the time lately? Have you been bullying her?"

"I would never bully her, no matter who I bully. She's just been studying hard to learn to read lately, practicing in seclusion."

"Will she do well on her final exams...?"

Anyway, I called her out this morning, hoping she can find the exam room.

Anyway, even if I fail the exam, Lin Zhiyu will help me change my grades. But she called me a couple of days ago saying she was going to the United States on a business trip. It seems like she's been running around making connections lately. Could something really happen in Pujiang District?

Thinking about this, Qianjing felt a little annoyed.

He didn't care who was behind what kind of conspiracy, he was confident he could handle everything, but troublesome things are always troublesome, and he had no desire to be in the limelight.

"...Sigh, I'm going to find Ye Yinqiu now, bye-bye."

Qianjing was about to leave—

"etc!"

Xin Wenyue called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

"...May I shake your hand?"

"?Can?"

Xin Wenyue slowly took Qianjing's hand, her delicate fingers stroking the boy's strong knuckles, her slender fingertips tracing his palm, and then their fingers intertwined, the technique quite ambiguous.

Qianmo was completely bewildered, as was Qianjing, while Xin Wenyue murmured:

"Just like in my dream..."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing!"

Her face suddenly turned a little red, and she quickly shook off Qianjing's hand, grabbed Qianmo, and ran away as if fleeing.

"……baffling."

Qianjing went to the next teaching building and found Ye Yinqiu. She had a bitter face and looked unwell.

"Looks like you bombed the exam?" Qianjing said with a wry smile.

"I can't understand most of the questions... Waaah, this will tarnish the reputation of our sect..."

"That's normal. If you can do well on a Chinese language and literature exam with a vocabulary level of upper elementary school, then all the humanities professors in the world should resign."

"I had been hoping that this battle would make everyone know how effective your teaching was..."

"I told you not to worry about it..." Qianjing patted her silly apprentice's head like she was petting a dog. "Think about it the other way around. Being able to cram into the vocabulary of upper elementary school students in just half a month is already at the level of a little genius."

Next week's final exams will be over. After the final exams, Maritime University of Science and Technology usually sets up a mini-semester of 1 to 4 weeks to wrap up the teaching tasks. Some courses require the completion of thesis defenses, and then it's time for a happy summer vacation!

"Master, I have to go back now. See you later!"

The apprentice hurriedly ran off after saying those words. Qian Jing was a little puzzled. Didn't this child used to pester him all the time? What happened all of a sudden?

"Forget it, it's best if she doesn't cause me any trouble. Where am I going to kill time now..."

He was walking and scrolling through his phone when he saw a notification from the official WeChat account of Haijing City:

A multi-vehicle collision occurred earlier today on Dongchang Road. The cause was that a taxi driver suddenly fell asleep at the wheel. The accident rate due to fatigued driving in Haijing City has tripled today. Please be sure to avoid driving while fatigued when traveling.

(Have there been more accidents lately? Some are from drivers who are fatigued, and some are from people who suddenly fall asleep while working at heights...)

As he walked, he arrived at the school auditorium, where a large number of students—mainly boys—were gathered, crowding in.

A huge poster hung in front of the auditorium: "Lazarus Technology Co., Ltd. Campus Recruitment Presentation"

With nothing else to do, and out of curiosity, Qianjing went in to join the fun and found a seat at the edge of the venue. The people around her were mostly senior undergraduates and third-year graduate students looking for jobs, but there were also many non-graduating students, all holding brochures distributed at the event.

On the stage, two men who looked like senior executives took turns speaking, explaining their company's competitive advantages to the students using PowerPoint slides. It was nothing more than how many businesses they had expanded, how many patents they had applied for, how strong their stock was, how many large companies they had provided solutions to, and the extent of their employee benefits—the same stuff every company doing campus recruitment talks about.

Everyone is waiting for someone else.

After the long PowerPoint presentation was finally finished, the two male executives stood in the courtyard by the podium in perfect unison. Suddenly, the spotlight turned up, and a tall figure walked gracefully onto the stage.

She has a typical European or American appearance, but unlike the stereotypical European or American women whose beauty fades quickly, she is almost forty years old but still has the appearance and figure of a twenty-something. Not only is her face beautiful, but her figure is also extremely spectacular. Most importantly, her clothing is quite generous, with high slits and deep V-necks that boldly expose her thighs and breasts. How could the sexually repressed male students in science and engineering colleges resist?

This is Ellen Marks, the founder, chairman, CEO, and CTO of Lazarus Technologies, a one-of-a-kind superwoman in the tech world.

The audience erupted in applause. Qian Jing clapped twice, then gave an elegant bow. Without further ado, she got straight to the point in fluent Chinese:

"You've probably all heard that our company's new office building has been completed in Zhanghe Science and Technology Park, Pujiang District. Our main businesses at Haijing are live streaming and cloud computing. We are currently recruiting talents and hope that students majoring in related fields will apply."

This was a very ordinary opening statement. After the applause subsided, she continued:

"Students who frequently read academic journals may already know that our company has proposed a supercomputing network based on the human brain architecture. Unlike those outdated brain-like neural computing technologies, our research represents the cutting edge of brain science. If used properly, animal brains can be overclocked like computers, and even analog signals and distributed processing of the human brain can be integrated into a machine that can be measured in floating-point operations. We can now connect multiple mammalian brains in parallel and use them as GPUs, with performance easily exceeding that of current mainstream graphics cards, and energy efficiency exceeding that of traditional hardware by several orders of magnitude."

She spoke at length about her achievements, and when it was time for questions, a student asked:

"You mean we can now use biological brains as pluggable computing components? Like the wet components in Half-Life?"

"If this technology can develop smoothly, I think so."

Ellen Marks smiled and didn't forget to crack a joke:

"If any of you have the talent for live streaming, you are welcome to submit your resume to us to become a contracted streamer. In my opinion, live streaming is a wonderful activity that brings together the thoughts of many people, so... hehe, I attach great importance to the company's live streaming business."
