Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

Lu Xing waited at the classroom door for a while, but didn't rush in.

The corridor was full of freshmen who had just finished their meeting, walking in twos and threes toward the stairwell.

He stood by the wall near the door and glanced down at his phone.

There hasn't been much activity in the dormitory group chat yet.

[Lin Yuanzhou: Brothers, what's for dinner tonight?]

One line immediately follows.

[Lin Yuanzhou: Let me make this clear first, I'm not going to the cafeteria! It's definitely going to explode tonight.]

Lu Xing glanced at it but did not reply immediately.

He looked up at the classroom.

In front of the podium, several newly elected class committee members were still surrounding Chen Jing.

Chen Jing spoke slowly and gently.

But things were arranged very clearly.

Lu Xing waited quietly outside the door until several class committee members came out of the classroom one after another.

The last boy, carrying a stack of documents, glanced at Lu Xing as he passed by the door.

Strange, why is this student just standing here like an idiot?

Lu Xing simply nodded to the other party as a greeting.

Only after Chen Jing was left in the classroom did he step inside.

Chen Jing was organizing the list and information into a folder.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up.

"Traveling by land?"

She remembered the name.

When I introduced myself earlier, I mentioned that I had some programming skills.

Lu walked to the podium, his tone very natural.

"Teacher Chen, excuse me."

"I have a question."

Chen Jing closed the folder and smiled.

"What is it?"

Lu Xing didn't take a long detour and asked:

"I heard that there might be a programming competition for new students after they enroll at the college."

"Something like a challenge."

"I'd like to confirm, is this really true?"

Chen Jing's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.

She looked at Lu Xing, her expression showing a hint of interest.

"Where did you hear that from?"

Lu Xing said without changing his expression:

"When I registered, a senior student casually mentioned it."

This reason isn't perfect, but it's reasonable enough.

Jiangcheng University is so big, there were volunteers and senior students everywhere on the day of freshman registration.

It's perfectly normal for someone to share a few thoughts about things at the college when they're in a good mood.

Chen Jing didn't ask any further questions, and simply nodded.

"The college does indeed have this arrangement this year."

The weight that had been hanging over Lu Xing's heart finally lifted.

As long as it's still there.

His biggest worry is that the change in the trajectory of this life will cause certain things to change as well.

After all, he changed dorm rooms and roommates, and even Shen Qingyi inexplicably entered his life.

Lu Xing is no longer entirely certain that everything will happen exactly as it did in his previous life.

However, it seems that at least this freshman challenge is still going on.

Chen Jing looked at him and asked:

"What, you're interested in this competition?"

Lu Xing didn't pretend; he nodded directly.

"have."

"If I can register, I'd like to participate."

Chen Jing hadn't expected him to be so decisive.

She had initially thought that Lu Xing was just coming to inquire beforehand.

After all, most freshmen are new to the university and don't yet have a clear understanding of their major.

Even those with some programming experience might not dare to directly sign up for such a formal competition.

She thought for a moment and reminded him:

"This competition is quite different from the activities of interest groups."

"It won't be particularly simple."

"Furthermore, if you perform well after participating in the competition, the college may arrange for a teacher to monitor your academic progress."

Are you sure you want to participate?

This implies that if Lu Xing participates in the competition, he may lose the opportunity to slack off in his studies.

Lu Xing nodded.

"Sure."

He paused, his tone becoming more candid than before.

"Teacher Chen, I won't hide it from you."

"I want to win the competition prize money."

The classroom fell silent for two seconds after he said that.

Chen Jing paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

She has met many students.

Some students, upon hearing about the competition, immediately say they want to improve their skills.

Some said they wanted to bring honor to the college, while others said they just wanted to give it a try.

It's rare to see someone like Lu Xing so openly stating that he wants the bonus.

But the fact that he spoke so frankly made it less repulsive and utilitarian than it should have been.

Chen Jing looked at him and asked with a smile:

"So confident?"

Lu Xing thought for a moment.

"I wouldn't say I'm confident, but I have to give it a try."

"If I don't even dare to sign up, then the prize money definitely has nothing to do with me."

Chen Jing's smile widened; this student was quite interesting.

Not exaggerating, not being overly modest.

They know what they want and don't hide it.

Chen Jing put the folder into her bag and said:

"I can't give you the specific registration details for the competition right away."

"If you really want to participate, I'll call you when registration opens later."

Lu Xing nodded.

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Chen Jing thought for a moment, then took out her phone from her bag.

"How about this?"

"Please add me on WeChat first, and include your class and name in your message."

After saying that, she opened WeChat.

Lu Xing also took out his phone and scanned the QR code to add friends.

"Thank you, Teacher Chen."

Chen Jing waved her hand:

"Actually, even if you hadn't come to me, I would have asked the teacher to keep an eye on you."

Lu Xing raised his head.

Chen Jing explained with a smile:

"The college sent a notice to the counselors a few days ago."

"If there are freshmen in the class with a good programming foundation, or students who seem suitable for the competition, please have our counselors keep an eye out for them."

"So your initiative in asking today saves me the time of having to contact you later."

Lu Xing then realized that the academy had already been making preparations.

Right.

Jiangcheng University's School of Computer Science has a large number of new students every year.

If we rely entirely on students to hear about the competition and sign up on their own, we will definitely miss some people.

In particular, some students are introverted or come from average families, and are not very willing to take the initiative to contact teachers at the beginning of the school year.

Having counselors screen candidates first, and then having professional teachers make further judgments, is indeed a prudent approach.

Chen Jing looked at Lu Xing and asked a few more questions casually:

What languages ​​have you studied before?

Lu Xing replied:

"C programming language and a little Python."

"I've also had some experience with algorithms."

He remained very conservative in his remarks.

Chen Jing nodded.

"That's alright, but you can't be careless."

"Many of the freshmen have learned programming in advance each year, and some have even participated in informatics competitions during high school."

Lu Xing smiled.

"I see."

The computer science major is never short of monsters.

Some people start competing in high school, while others are already able to write small projects on their own in junior high school.

Some people may seem ordinary, but once they sit in the computer room, their coding speed is astonishing.

Lu Xing's advantage lies in his engineering experience, debugging experience, and maturity of thinking, which far surpass those of newcomers.

However, if we're purely comparing the amount of training done in algorithmic competitions, he wouldn't dare say he could mindlessly crush everyone.

So in the coming period, he needs to get back into form as soon as possible.

Of course, it would be best to get first place.

Even if you can't get first place, you should at least get a pretty good ranking.

Chen Jing gave him a few more instructions, which Lu Xing noted down.

Just as Chen Jing was about to end the conversation after they had finished talking, her gaze suddenly passed over Lu Xing and fell outside the classroom.

She raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Land journey".

Lu Xing looked up.

"Um?"

Chen Jing pointed outside the classroom.

"Do you know that girl outside?"

Lu Xing turned around in the direction she pointed.

He completely lost his mind on the spot.
