Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

What is Master skilled at?

Mo Xiaohu had never considered this question before. In his eyes, Fang Zheng Yi had always been an omnipotent existence.

Almost everything new and unseen in the county seemed to involve Fang Zheng Yi.

But no matter how great, there must be some areas of expertise...

Mo Xiaohu looked troubled, his brow furrowed, as he closed his eyes and began to think hard.

Xiao Letian's eyes were full of anticipation as he quietly waited for the answer.

After thinking for more than ten minutes, Mo Xiaohu opened his eyes and said, "I've never really thought about this question before, but now I have an answer. You asked well."

"What answer?" Xiao Letian's breathing quickened.

To him, someone of Fang Zheng Yi's status was no different from a celestial being.

Knowing what Headmaster Fang was good at meant he could just follow in his footsteps and not have to worry about choosing a major.

Mo Xiaohu didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Whether it's mathematics, physics, or chemistry, there's one thing you have to learn. Do you know what it is?"

"I don't know. What is it?"

"Equations."

"What is an equation?"

"An equation with unknowns. You'll understand once you start learning it. But... do you know why an equation is called an equation?"

Why is an equation called an equation?

A big question mark popped up in Xiao Letian's head as he was thinking hazily. Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck his mind!

An uncontrollable thought emerged, and he stammered, "Because... Headmaster Fang... his surname is Fang?!"

Indeed, a student with insight!

Mo Xiaohu nodded vigorously and said profoundly, "That's right. The reason why an equation is called an equation is simply because our Headmaster Fang's surname is Fang! So an equation must also be named Fang! There is no other explanation."

"These three majors, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, have countless connections with other majors, so if you ask me what Headmaster Fang is good at, I can't say."

"He's good at everything, or rather, he's not good at anything."

"!!!"

Xiao Letian was deeply shocked!

What kind of realm is this! What kind of all-rounder is this! I am actually fortunate enough to meet such a founder and pioneer today... It's like a dream.

But after the shock came confusion.

"Teacher, then which major should I choose?"

Mo Xiaohu smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

The emotional connection was almost there, it was time to bring this kid in.

"Dongjiao University has so many majors, and you could say that every one of them is very good, but mathematics, physics, and chemistry specialize in basic sciences. If you want to make money quickly, I suggest you choose the Ordnance Institute!"

"That's where you can make a fortune and shock the world. Which of the firearms and cannons isn't invincible! I, your teacher, am in charge of the Ordnance Institute. In our Ordnance Institute's view, all other majors are trash. Only explosions are art!"

"Fire... What is the Ordnance Institute? What are cannons?" Xiao Letian asked timidly.

The outside world was still unaware of guns and cannons, and Mo Xiaohu realized he had misspoke. He laughed and said, "You'll know after you decide to join. We're special, so we need to keep it secret. But... you know about the firecrackers and fireworks that are selling well in the capital, right? Those things are just scraps from our Ordnance Institute!"

Light flashed in Xiao Letian's eyes.

He knew about fireworks and firecrackers. They were a popular commodity that had just appeared in the capital not long ago, and wealthy people used them to enhance the atmosphere during the New Year and festivals.

Such a profitable thing was actually just scrap from the Ordnance Institute. It was really amazing!

"Teacher, why didn't we see the Ordnance Institute's building just now? What's in the Ordnance Institute's hall?"

"The Ordnance Institute hasn't been built yet, but if you're asking whether Headmaster Fang has left anything behind... he already has. Do you want to see it?" Mo Xiaohu asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Letian said without hesitation.

Mo Xiaohu slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket, looking at the paper with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

This was written by Fang Zheng Yi himself when the Ordnance Institute was first established in Taoyuan County, and he had been carrying it with him for many years.

"This is the prophecy that Headmaster Fang left me. He said that as long as I can completely understand it... then I can create a world-destroying explosion!"

Xiao Letian couldn't wait to take the note and unfold it!

[E = mc ²]

"Teacher, what is this? It's not even words. I don't understand it." Xiao Letian looked confused.

Mo Xiaohu said, "It's right if you don't understand it! I don't understand it either. No one can understand it. Just remember that anything Headmaster Fang casually throws out is enough for ordinary people to study for ten lifetimes!"

"Then why don't you just ask Headmaster Fang?"

Mo Xiaohu shook his head and sighed, "Why haven't I asked... but I got scolded. Headmaster Fang said that I couldn't even understand such a simple thing, and I still had the nerve to ask him!"

"I understand. It's not that Headmaster Fang doesn't want to teach, but that he really can't teach... You know, people's talents are different. Some smart people can see the principle of some problems at a glance, but ordinary people have to put in a lot of effort to understand a little bit, so only fools can teach fools."

"It's like playing the lute to a cow. The person is in pain, and the cow is also in pain... In the end, we're just too mediocre..."

"Alas..." Xiao Letian sighed regretfully.

Although he wasn't good at studying, he had always felt smarter than others deep down. Now he knew what it meant to have mountains beyond mountains!

The two sighed for a long time, and Mo Xiaohu said, "Okay, let's talk about your major."

"The Ordnance Institute hasn't been built yet. If you decide to join after passing the basic class, I can reserve a spot for you in advance."

"Not only that, but there's also a new project in the Ordnance Institute. As long as you participate, you'll get paid. What do you think?"

"What project?"

"It's confidential. You'll only be qualified to know after you join and sign a contract."

So strict?

A trace of seriousness appeared on Xiao Letian's face. To be honest, it sounded very tempting.

But it sounded too different from other majors, and he felt a little unsure...

Seeing him hesitate, Mo Xiaohu continued to entice him, "If you join our team, I can teach you the most important skill for a scientist!"

A shortcut! There's even a secret technique for becoming a scientist?

"What is it!" Xiao Letian's breathing stopped.

"Raising funds." Mo Xiaohu smiled slightly, "You can't do anything without money. You have to know how to raise funds. It's the same for every major, but we in the Ordnance Institute are especially good at it!"

It sounded like he was scamming money... Xiao Letian swallowed.

"Teacher, can you give me some time to consider it?"

"Of course. Dongjiao College respects individual will and advocates free choice, so I told you so much. You go to the basic class first. Your foundation is basically fine, and you'll pass in two or three days. Once you pass, give me an answer as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Teacher!"

.....

On campus, Fang Zheng Yi and Li Yuan Zhao were strolling aimlessly.

Li Yuan Zhao said, "Lao Fang, what kind of mess did you put in the teaching building? I can't understand any of it."

"Hey! It's just that the school was built in a hurry, and the hall was empty. I just randomly found some things to put on display. I don't understand it either." Fang Zheng Yi kept fanning himself with his hand, "Your Highness, let's quickly find a shady place to stay. Why is it so damn hot today!"
