Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

"Junior Brother Ning Chen, I will call you Brother Chen from now on! I really have a lot to learn from you in terms of mathematical research."

Ning Chen also felt a little dumbfounded after seeing the message sent by Tong Yicheng.

"Senior Brother Tong, there's no need to be so polite. Besides, it's a bit weird for you to call me that."

"Hey, let's talk about our own things. I am Senior Brother You, and you are my Brother Chen, haha. Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. You can continue to review the competition."

Ning Chen knew that Tong Yicheng must be particularly excited because he had just solved an important problem in his research, and Ning Chen could understand it.

Ning Chen remembered that when he was chatting with some graduate students in his previous life, many of them had experienced depression at one time or another.

One of the big reasons for this is the huge pressure to graduate.

What's more, it even gave rise to thoughts of committing suicide, which made people feel sad.

"Forget it, he can scream if he wants to. My real age is older than him anyway." Ning Chenxin said.

Putting his cell phone into silent mode, Ning Chen continued to devote his energy to the competition questions.

…

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to mid-May.

As it approaches the start of the semi-final written test of the Qiuchengtong College Student Mathematics Competition, the Shengzhou University team is already well prepared.

Since there is no test center in Shengzhou for this competition, the participating teams can only go to the nearest test center - Bingcheng University of Technology to take the written test.

Early the morning before the exam started, everyone got on the train to Ice City.

In 2010, the high-speed railway from Shengzhou to Bingcheng had not yet been completed, and everyone could only take ordinary trains.

Since the journey was relatively long, after getting in the car, everyone either read books and did questions by themselves, or played cards together to kill time.

Liao Jun and other teachers will not interfere with the students' behavior. After all, at this time, there is no point in studying suddenly. Everyone can do whatever they want.

Zhu Yi did not participate in this competition. According to Zhu Yi himself, it was because his recent state was not very good and he decided not to sign up for the individual competition, leaving the spots for other students.

Ning Chen didn't care about Zhu Yi's appearance at all. After all, the two of them were not on the same level at all.

"It takes nearly seven hours to get to Ice City...it's really inconvenient without high-speed rail!"

Ning Chen remembered that if you take the high-speed rail, you can get from Shengzhou to Bingcheng in more than two hours at the fastest. However, even if there is a high-speed rail, he doesn't know whether the school is willing to bear the higher transportation costs.

Because the car was shaking a bit, several students who were reading felt a little dizzy after reading for a while, so they formed teams to play cards.

Ning Chen didn't read all the time. He stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze, recalling various things from his previous life.

"Ning Chen, do you want to play cards together for a while?"

Liao Jun saw Ning Chen sitting there in a daze. He was afraid that Ning Chen would be bored alone, so he greeted Ning Chen.

"Well, let's fight for a while."

When Ning Chen saw Liao Jun taking the initiative to invite him, he did not refuse. Anyway, the journey was a bit boring, and playing cards could change his mood and kill some time.

Tong Yicheng also joined the card game. When Liao Jun saw that there were three people in total, he said:

"If there are three of us, let's fight Landlords. Ning Chen, can you play Landlords?"

"Well, I know a little bit."

This era was when Landlords became popular. Basically every computer would have a QQ game lobby installed, among which Happy Landlords was one of the most popular games.

Ning Chen also played cards with his friends in his last life. Of course, his card skills were not that great, but he still liked the thrill of holding a bomb in his hand.

"Okay, let's set the rules first. If there are three cards left, you must bid three points if you catch double kings or four twos. We won't play with money anymore. Issei, please tally the scores. Whoever loses Please have dinner when you get back."

Liao Jun knows that gambling in public places is definitely not allowed, no matter how small the amount is, but if you don't play with anything, most of the fun of playing cards will be lost.

Neither Tong Yicheng nor Ning Chen had any objections to this. After Liao Jun shuffled the cards, everyone grabbed the cards and started playing.

"Let's test my memory by playing cards." Ning Chenxin said.

Although Luck plays a big part in Doudizhu, if you can record the cards globally, your winning rate can definitely be improved a lot.

After grabbing the first handful of cards, Ning Chen marked all the unseen cards in his mind, as if he had his own card recorder.

In addition, Ning Chen will also remember the cards played by everyone in each round, and analyze the remaining cards in each person's hand based on this.

Ning Chen was surprised to find that with his current brain power, there would be no difficulty in recording cards globally, and he was even more comfortable than playing cards online with a card recorder before.

"The brain power index of 115 points is actually so powerful... If we continue to increase the brain power index, I really don't know what level it will reach."

According to the explanation of the brain power index on the system interface, Ning Chen's brain power now far exceeds the average human level of 60 points.

However, as the brain power index increases, the energy points consumed each time will continue to increase, which makes it much more difficult to increase the brain power index in the later period.

After playing a few games, Liao Jun and Tong Yicheng gradually discovered that Ning Chen's card skills were not as ordinary as he just said.

"Brother Chen, why do I feel like you know what cards we have in our hands? I only had two cards left in my hand just now, and you still dare to put a pair!"

Tong Yicheng really called Ning Chen "Brother Chen" as he said before, and Liao Jun felt very happy when he heard it.

"If I'm not wrong, Ning Chen, you can memorize all the cards, right? You can remember all 54 cards. This memory is also very extraordinary!"

Faced with Liao Jun's speculation, Ning Chen did not deny it.

"I can almost remember it. But sometimes even if I can remember all the cards, I still have to lose the cards that should be lost." Ning Chen said with a smile.

Under the pressure of absolute card power, Ning Chen had no power to parry.

Of course, luck is relatively conserved in general. After the poker game went on for a while, Ning Chen's score was already in an absolute lead.

"No, Brother Chen, you are playing this card too hard, aren't you? You dare to blow up this card, how do you know that I only have a 4 left in my hand?"

"What's this? Ning Chen's hand just now revealed a straight, which made it impossible for your straight to come out. In Ning Chen's eyes, our cards have no secrets at all."

Both Liao Jun and Tong Yicheng were completely impressed by Ning Chen's ability to memorize cards. It seems that real academic masters are also dimensionally reduced when playing games.
