“What do you need this thing for? I didn’t write my name on it anyway, so I could just give it to you… Hey, where are you going?”

Samuel Wright stared dumbfounded at Yvonne Harris, completely clueless about what he was up to.

“Going to the library.”

After putting on his shoes, Yvonne Harris didn’t hesitate at all—without another word, he walked straight out the door, leaving the other three looking utterly confused.

Brian Cooper: “…What’s up with him?”

William Carter shook his head in bewilderment.

Samuel Wright also shook his head blankly.

“No idea.”

But in the next instant, it was as if a jolt of electricity shot through Samuel Wright’s brain, making him instantly alert.

Wait a minute…

Who goes to the library for no reason? And even brings a book along!

He must be going to study!

Suddenly enlightened, Samuel Wright immediately understood what his roommate was planning.

GPA!

And—

Scholarship!

Ha, no wonder Jiangda is full of talented people! Turns out the competition starts as soon as you’re assigned a dorm. I really let my guard down…

Having seen through Yvonne Harris’s plan, the now competitive Samuel Wright hurriedly dug out a C language book from the stack, muttering to himself as he started reading from the table of contents.

“I’ll do some previewing too… Oh no, just browsing, really.”

What’s with these guys?

Why am I the only normal person in this dorm?

Brian Cooper looked at the suddenly weird guy with a baffled expression, but quickly lost interest and went back to fiddling intently with a few strings on his guitar.

“Oh.”

“Pick a couple for me too, while you’re at it.”

Chapter 007: I’m Really Not a Master

Although the semester had just started, the library was already packed.

Not to mention the seniors preparing for grad school or rushing to finish their theses, even some freshmen were following suit—coming to check in, take photos, and some even brought their new textbooks to claim seats, much to the annoyance of the sophomores and juniors.

Some even used the library computer lab to play games, the clacking of keyboards echoing noisily.

Especially lately, a popular MMORPG called “Oracle” required voice chat for team dungeons. Even with headphones and whispering, it inevitably disturbed the knowledge-hungry top students.

Taking students’ complaints into account, the school dumped the problem on the student council, which, after a few meetings, came up with a solution.

Namely, banning students from gaming in the computer lab.

Of course, rules are rules, but everyone knows how it really works.

How does the saying go? The student council’s authority is built on students’ imagination.

Once you’ve survived freshman year, hardly anyone bothers to play along with them.

So the rule really only applies to the freshmen, and most of the people patrolling the computer lab are also first-year student council members.

Maybe it was because Yvonne Harris’s freshman aura was too obvious, but when he sat down at a computer with a brand-new textbook, the patrolling student council member gave him more than a few glances.

As for others’ attention, Yvonne Harris naturally didn’t care.

After all, he wasn’t there to play games—he was there for serious business.

“Hope this works…”

Looking at the gem in his hand that only he could see, Yvonne Harris took a deep breath and squeezed it tightly in his palm.

As a flash of azure light shone, a surge of warmth rushed to his brain.

[Programming (Lv1) attribute enhancement in progress. Host has entered an inspired state. Current level: Lv3. Duration: 12 hours.]

He blinked, not feeling any particular change.

No one nearby seemed to notice anything either; everyone was focused on their own tasks.

Why does it feel useless…

However, just as Yvonne Harris was wondering if he was using the system wrong, his gaze happened to fall on the open C language textbook.

And in that instant, it was as if something had possessed him—his entire aura changed in a flash.

These things…

Why do they all seem so easy?

And they look so familiar.

Almost as if he’d studied them somewhere before…

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. Yvonne Harris reached out his index finger and touched the bottom of the page.

As the pages turned one after another, the lines of text and code seemed to be sucked away by some kind of black hole, peeling off the book and transforming into invisible streams of data that poured directly into his eyes, unraveling in his mind.

So fast!

Yvonne Harris couldn’t help but widen his eyes, a hint of excitement gradually lighting up his pupils.

It wasn’t just his reading speed that was reaching its limit.

It was also the speed at which he absorbed knowledge.

And—

The speed at which he flipped through the book!

In less than ten minutes, he had completely finished a C language book, every key point deeply imprinted in his mind, yet Yvonne Harris felt his learning speed was still far from its limit.

Still unsatisfied, he stood up without hesitation, walked over to the shelves, and brought back an entire set of books.

Heh.
