Chapter 31: The Loss Outweighs the Gain
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Early the next morning.
Li Chengqian was slumped on the table, his eyes listless as he looked at the podium.
His eyes were bloodshot and his eyelids were twitching. If not for his grit, he would have fallen asleep long ago.
Li Chengqian stayed up late the night before as he was writing codes.
It was not until past three in the morning that he finished writing the codes and completed the core portion of the codes for the new operating system.
With his modifications and additions, the core of this new operating system was especially efficient. It could tap 100% of the computer hardware’s capabilities.
It was ten times faster than the core of linux!
Compared to the Windows core, it was 20 times faster!
However, this was only the core of an operating system, not an operating system!
In fact, because most of the codes were written in assembly language, even if Li Chengqian uploaded the codes online, not many people could understand it.
Li Chengqian had a detailed plan for this operating system.
In addition to the core code, the new operating system also had five modules: the file system module, the memory mobilization system module, the network module, the process scheduling module, and the interprogress communication scheduling module.
tIt could be used as a complete operating system after all the modules have been developed.
“One month. I need one month to complete the coding of this new operating system!”
“I have to think of a way to apply for leave from the school. Sitting in the classroom every day like this is simply a waste of time.” Li Chengqian forced his eyes to stay open as he tried to support his heavy eyelids.
In the end, he failed!
Sleepiness overwhelmed him and he could no longer hold on.
“Sleep!”
Li Chengqian closed his eyes.
He had already completed all the senior high school courses and knew the contents of the teacher’s lectures like the back of his hands.
However, because he could obtain experience value points from listening to class, he couldn’t bear to waste a minute and persisted on listening attentively.
However, after taking on the Farmer profession and the Worker profession,
There were more ways for him to obtain experience value points now.
If he went all the way with the Farmer profession, he could obtain a huge amount of experience value points in a day.
Even if he wasn’t a very strong Worker at the moment, Li Chengqian could still obtain 1,000 experience value points per hour by writing codes at home for the operating system .
After completing the core hardware scheduling module of the operating system the day before, he received a large amount of experience value points.
Therefore, obtaining experience value points from listening to classes was no longer that important a method.
Seeing Li Chengqian lying on the table and falling asleep, Jian Qingli shook her head with a trace of a sneer on her face.
“After the second mock exam, Li Chengqian went back to his old ways.”
“He probably thinks that he has no hope!”
“He would be assigned to the Progressive class anyway.”
On the podium, Teacher Wang Jianjia was talking to the class about the English test papers.
Teacher Wang Jianjia explained slowly and in great detail as the paper was very difficult.
When she saw Li Chengqian sleeping on the table, she frowned initially. She then sighed in her heart when she thought of the school’s class segregation policy, as well as Li Chengqian’s results.
“Forget it. This child must be feeling very sad now. I shan’t provoke him.”
“Sigh, this child, he was so hardworking and serious in class just a few days ago.”
“He has now been defeated by the school’s class segregation policy and has lost his passion for studying anymore.”
The lesson didn’t last long and passed quickly.
After the bell rang, Wang Jianjia didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she walked down from the podium toward Li Chengqian.
“Li Chengqian! Wake up!” Then, she pushed Li Chengqian hard.
Li Chengqian opened his eyes unhappily and looked up with sleepy eyes. After realizing that it was Wang Jianjia, he shook his head hard and forced himself to wake up.
“Li Chengqian, come out with me for a moment. I have something to say to you in private!” Wang Jianjia said solemnly.
She didn’t want to see Li Chengqian continue being despondent like that, so she wanted to have a heart-to-heart with him before the results were announced.
“Li Chengqian, I know that this second mock exam has dealt you a huge blow.”
“I also know that the school’s class segregation policy is especially unfair to you.”
“However, the weak cannot contend with the strong. When we are weak, the only way is to accept reality”
“I’ll say it again. After the results are out, even if you’re assigned to the Progressive class, you’ll still be my student. You can look for me if you have any questions!”
“I hope that you can return to your previous state, study seriously. Don’t let external conditions affect your studies.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t get into university this year. As long as you maintain your previous learning spirit, I believe you will definitely be able to get into a good university next year.” When they arrived at Wang Jianjia’s office, she spoke in a gentle voice, and hoped that her prep talk for Li Chengqian would motivate him to return to his previous learning state.
Would he be defeated by the exam?!
No way!
There was indeed a problem with the class segregation policy, but what did it have to do with him!
“Teacher, you are mistaken. I didn’t sleep in your class today because I felt defeated.”
“Teacher, you know that I am participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Last night, when I was learning programming, I was so inspired and engrossed that I stayed up too late…” Li Chengqian explained the situation honestly.
“Moreover, I don’t care about class segregation anymore.” In his previous life, he was indeed especially frustrated by this policy.
At that time, he had begged the teacher, and also asked his parents to pull strings. He didn’t want to leave Grade 12 Class 5, neither did he wish to go to the Progressive class.
However, he still ended up in that class!
But now, this problem didn’t exist for him at all. Because with his current results, no matter how the class was segregated, it was impossible for him to be assigned there.
Even if there was a second class segregation, he would only be assigned to Grade 12 Class 1 and become the envy of everyone in the class.
“Teacher Tian Wenming already told me about you participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition!” Wang Jianjia’s eyes flashed with surprise. In fact, she didn’t expect Li Chengqian to come in first in the school test.
When Teacher Tian Wenming was looking for her to talk about Li Chengqian, she had asked carefully. At that time, Tian Wenming said that Li Chengqian’s computer theory was very good, but he had zero hands-on experience!
The possibility of passing the preliminary round was also zero!
Even if he trained non-stop on practical hands-on computer skills from now on, it would still be difficult to pass the preliminaries.
Therefore, Wang Jianjia didn’t agree with Li Chengqian staying up late to learn programming.
“Your theoretical foundation is very solid, but you are lacking in hands-on experience. You really need to improve on this area”
“While the Junior Informatics Programming Competition is very important, so are your studies!”
“You can’t let the competition affect your studies.”
“The loss would outweigh the gain!”
