Chapter 7 Library War God
"Was it about what just happened? I want to see it too!"
Gao Shu poked his head over, so close that An Yi could smell the girl's faint fragrance. He didn't know much about fragrances and couldn't quite put his finger on it, he just found it pleasant.
"Didn't you watch the whole thing from the best viewing angle?"
An Yi instinctively refused... Just thinking about it was embarrassing, and if she were to see it herself, it would probably be even more embarrassing!
"Look, look! What kind of comments will there be? Doesn't it sound interesting?" The calculus girl looked up, her face full of anticipation. At that moment, you could even clearly see the lines in her eyes.
An Yi silently opened the video, and then silently brought up the light screen to check the panel.
[Current Affection Level: 25/100]
Is there something wrong with this thing? Shouldn't it already be 1000/100?
Wait, so this isn't showing my personal preference for advanced mathematics? Oh well, never mind.
The girl in advanced mathematics clearly didn't know how much damage her simple coquetry had done to An Yi, who had been single for eighteen years, or perhaps she did know, and that was her original intention.
An Yi didn't know, but he knew one thing: the prettier the girl, the scarier she was. This saying was indeed true; before he knew it, his heart had wandered away.
"Wait, wouldn't that make me seem too easily swayed? No, I just love learning, and learning makes me happy!" An Yi quickly changed her mindset.
After he finished preparing himself mentally and looked at the video again, the video, after simple editing, had reached the point where Teacher Liu wrote ∫1/(x^6+1)dx on the blackboard.
A dense barrage of colorful comments floated above the video: [Please enter text] [Add one to the denominator, and you're dead] [A timeless proverb: Don't do point-completion problems with dubious origins] [Beware of any point-completion problems with bonuses] [If it's a point-completion problem in the form of 1/(x^a+b), don't hesitate, silly child, run!]
The photographer deliberately paused here for a moment, allowing the comments to fill in before focusing the camera on An Yi.
Then, An Yi’s words, “Teacher Liu, I think I know a little bit about this problem,” were so clear in the quiet classroom that you could hear a pin drop. The cameraman switched the focus to Teacher Liu’s face, capturing her obvious change in expression with exceptional clarity.
The comments section also changed accordingly—[Teacher: Oh no, someone's cheating! I've been tricked!] [Teacher: My luck can't be that bad, right? I drew a jackpot right away!] [The later ones, summed it up in one sentence: Where did this jackpot come from? How did he end up in this lowly realm?]...
What kind of "Jackpot" is this? Can you guys use a little more serious language? Don't make people associate it with such things!
An Yi mentally complained, but could only grit her teeth and continue reading.
The content creator clearly has considerable video editing experience and knows that most people who click on this video are unlikely to understand it and are just watching for fun, so he directly sped up An Yi's answer steps.
The slightly absurd movements, accelerated by the speed, combined with the complex algebraic calculations visible to the naked eye on the blackboard, caused the already numerous bullet comments to surge into a dense, overwhelming barrage! However, the content was still easy to discern, as it was entirely filled with question marks!
It wasn't until An Yi wrote down the complete answer that the comments section became filled with: "I'm so scared!", "Mom, I want to go home!", "Wasn't I in math class? Why is the blackboard full of English letters and numbers?", "Please don't tell me this is the difficulty of an advanced math final exam, or I'll definitely fail you!"...
However, the video did not stop there. After a brief exchange, the problem that Teacher Liu wrote on the blackboard, ∫1/(x^5+1)dx, was focused on and frozen.
The comments section changed again: [Math students chuckled knowingly: The sixth power problem is still too hard! Let's relax with the fifth power problem!] [Relax!] [That's great relaxation!] [Am I the only one who thinks this problem is no different from the previous one? Is the teacher going easy on us?]...
After the uploader deliberately left time for the comments to express their opinions, the background music suddenly started playing in the video. The exciting rhythm and drumbeats accompanied the scene as it finally began to change. This time it was very short because the uploader sped up the video content to make each beat hit the beat perfectly, corresponding to the scene after An Yi wrote down those key algebraic steps!
The comments section exploded: 【Amazing attention span】【Where's the ease?】【Deduct points, definitely deduct points!】【What the hell is this?】【Ah, I've seen the truth, my great Father, Savior, Cthulhu…】【This is mathematics, those lacking spiritual vision should refrain from commenting, lest their sanity be depleted】【Why didn't you say so earlier?】【Master! I bow down in admiration】【Even if I memorized it beforehand, I can only say "awesome," because just looking at this answer makes my head spin】…
The video ended there. An Yi checked the trending list and found that the video had already entered the top 30 of the hot search list. And just by exiting and re-entering, and refreshing the page, it had moved up two places in the rankings! It looked like it was on its way to becoming a viral sensation!
Sometimes, it's not an exaggeration to say that video editing accounts for 50-60% or more of the success of something going viral online. Take An Yi's case, for example. If the entire process had been uploaded verbatim, very few people would have been willing to watch it.
However, after being edited by the uploader, the whole incident was condensed into three minutes, and the ins and outs were explained clearly, with all the key points highlighted! It's no wonder that this video went viral.
Even An Yi herself felt incredibly satisfied watching this part, wishing that the person in the video who did it was herself... No, wait, it really does seem to be herself!
"Great haircut! Very cool!" Calculus praised without reservation.
An Yi blushed slightly and pretended to look around while admiring the scenery along the roadside.
As a result, his initial instinctive concern about someone posting the matter online without permission faded.
Okay, at least he promoted a positive image throughout!
Moreover, given that he will definitely have other opportunities to shine in the future, using this viral video as a starting point will make it seem less abrupt. Thinking about it this way, it seems that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
The phone screen was still flooded with messages, so An Yi had no choice but to click on them.
Wang Bowen: @An Yi, speak up! Speak up! Is this really you? Were you just pretending to be innocent and trying to trick us?
Wu Shouzhou: @An Yi, whoever you are, get off my brother right now!
Li Chendong: @An Yi, confess honestly, you copied our homework before, wasn't it just because you thought it was too easy and you were too lazy to do it?
An Yi shook his head helplessly and typed a reply.
"Stop fooling around, be good, listen to me, go to sleep. Your godfather needs to start focusing on his studies."
The three adopted sons in the group: "???"
An Yi ignored them. She figured she'd have plenty of time to talk back in the dorm, and for now…
He had already arrived at the library with the advanced mathematics course.
"Now that we're here, can you at least tell me what we're supposed to do?" An Yi asked as she and the calculus teacher walked inside.
"You must have guessed some of it, right?"
Advanced Mathematics chuckled and replied, "Achievements gained through temporary buffs won't be recognized by me."
An Yi took a deep breath: "I knew it..."
He did have a hunch—when he saw that after completing these events, the favorability rating for Advanced Mathematics was still only 25/100, the answer was pretty obvious.
What is the nature of advanced mathematics? It's either you understand it or you don't. It's either you're good at it or you're not... Only knowledge that you truly master is truly your own!
Relying solely on temporary boosts to achieve a short-term burst of power is like taking a blue pill to temporarily increase combat strength; it's still superficial and won't gain recognition, which is why it won't win favor with advanced mathematics students.
For example, if An Yi lost his [Calculation Ability +1], he wouldn't be able to solve those two integral problems in their original form.
Therefore, if you want to substantially increase your appreciation for advanced mathematics, you must fully master that knowledge!
As for how to master it?
Then the only solution is to study hard and practice diligently.
An, the Library God of War, Yi, is ready!
