Innocent as She Is, She Has Already Fallen into Su Bai's Hands

"Hey, I have an idea."

Jiangcheng University, inside a specialized Computer Science class.

Chen Yusheng didn't need to attend this class. Su Bai had asked Xia to pull some strings with the professor on her behalf.

After all, this course covered currently popular programming languages. Considering the things Chen Yusheng tinkered with all day at the company were already at the forefront of the industry, coming here to take this class was a pure waste of time.

Therefore, Chen Yusheng didn't need to show up for roll call or lab attendance; the teacher simply marked her as present.

Generally speaking, in a relatively prestigious university, securing this level of leniency takes a bit of effort. It was all thanks to Su Bai's investment and the good relationship he had cultivated with the department.

If it were just some ordinary nouveau riche boss trying to get his good-for-nothing jock son out of class, the teacher definitely wouldn't have agreed.

There had to be a legitimate reason.

As long as Chen Yusheng credited some of her future work to the department's student innovation projects, the teachers would be more than satisfied.

Su Bai had simply given her a platform to display her skills.

So, during this specialized class, Su Bai nestled into a corner of the classroom, diligently spacing out.

At the same time, with the help of the System, he was automatically absorbing the content the teacher was explaining.

Sitting naturally beside him was the Gacha Immortal, Wang Haoran.

Recently, Wang Haoran had been helping Su Bai grind on his gaming accounts, and the results were quite bountiful.

Su Bai didn't shortchange him either, paying him a wage that was double the highest market rate.

Although Wang Haoran claimed that playing on Su Bai's whale account was a reward in itself, Su Bai felt that one shouldn't take advantage of friends. Besides, Su Bai planned to invest in Wang Haoran opening a game studio in the future, so he needed to get the kid used to working for a salary.

During a break in the lecture, Su Bai suddenly started whispering odd ideas to Wang Haoran: "Say, if I put up the money to organize some algorithm-related competitions in our department... actually, never mind, it feels like it wouldn't have enough authority."

"No, wait, bro, do you seriously have so much money you don't know where to spend it?" Wang Haoran quipped.

"It's not that bad. I just want to do something reliable since I have the means," Su Bai's thought process was quite simple. He could now understand why rich people loved doing charity.

There were elements of tax avoidance or asset transfer involved, sure, but people really do tend to get charitable when they have abundant resources.

"We'll see. I won't rack my brain over it now. Let's get this clothing factory business sorted out first." Saying that, Su Bai checked his phone. Xia hadn't sent a message yet, which proved her connections were still working on it; things would take some time to land.

No rush.

On the other hand, Senior Xiaolu asked Su Bai where he intended for Lu Yuning to live after she moved out.

[Crispy Big White Goose: (Big White Goose_Head Scratch)]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Senior, when did you learn mind reading? How did you know I wanted her to move out?]

A knowing smile curled the corners of Su Bai's mouth. This senior sister was becoming increasingly considerate.

If Lu Yuning were just an ordinary partner, Su Bai wouldn't care where she lived; that would be her own business.

The issue was that she was an S-rank Goddess certified by the System, and she fit Su Bai's tastes perfectly. He was bound to claim her eventually. In that case, it was best not to let her continue living with those nightclub hostesses.

It was too easy to pick up bad habits.

Of course, according to the System's appraisal, she hadn't picked up any bad habits yet, but there was no guarantee for the future. So, it was better for her to move out.

After thinking about it, Su Bai waved his hand and typed:

[Crispy Big White Goose: Let her choose wherever she wants. I'll give her a housing allowance of twenty thousand a month.]

[Xiaolu: ?? That much? A twenty thousand allowance is enough to cover the monthly mortgage on many high-end properties in Jiangcheng...]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Oh, if she wants to buy a house, that's fine too. I can lend her the down payment interest-free... but she probably doesn't have that intention. Just let her rent a place she likes.]

[Xiaolu: Received~]

[Xiaolu: And here I thought you were going to have her move into the Shanshui Duplexes.]

[Crispy Big White Goose: Don't. Not that fast. Ningning is very pure. Have her live with you women who shamelessly pester me for you-know-what every day? It would scare the poor kid.]

As Su Bai typed, he could barely keep a straight face.

People online used to say that once girls let loose, they are much wilder than guys. Su Bai didn't believe it at the time.

But judging by the recent performance of the several S-rank beauties living in the Shanshui Duplexes... they were truly fiercer than the last!

The atmosphere there was indeed not suitable for the current Lu Yuning.

There was plenty of time in the future.

Break time ended, and the teacher began lecturing again. Su Bai had no one to chat with for the moment, so he stared out the window in a daze.

The scenery outside this computer lab was incredibly beautiful. There were several tall, ancient banyan trees very close by, looking as if one could leap out the window and climb right to the top of the canopy.

Many prestigious universities, especially those with a bit of history, had very nice campus scenery.

It was just that, with the job market tightening and academic pressure increasing, how many students could leisurely appreciate these beautiful views?

Beside him, Wang Haoran was listening to the class tentatively, seeming to find it effortless.

Everyone had different talents when it came to programming. Studying computer science required understanding various new concepts, and knowledge updated quickly.

Those qualified to sit in this classroom had basically all been top students in their high schools. However, over this past half-semester, quite a few classmates had already shown signs of struggling to adapt.

The learning style in university was just too different from high school.

In high school, you would finish the textbook content by the second semester of sophomore year at the latest, and then enter round after round of meticulous review.

It was all about grinding proficiency.

If the whole world were transported into a game world to start an era of grinding mobs for proficiency, then our Chinese high school students would absolutely be the most overpowered. Nothing to it but muscle memory.

University was different. A course lasted one semester, and even for courses split over several semesters, the content gap between each semester was huge. It was all about flood irrigation of massive amounts of information.

Generally speaking, it placed more emphasis on the breadth of knowledge and the speed of acquisition.

Seeing a few students in the front row scratching their heads, the lecturer comforted them: "Don't panic if you find it hard to get started. We are taking this course primarily to learn a knowledge system and the methods for learning programming languages. When it comes to your future work, as long as you can successfully apply this methodology, you'll be fine."

Su Bai ended his spacing-out mode and glanced at Wang Haoran beside him.

"What do you think?"

"EZ," Wang Haoran looked very confident. "Actually, I was writing game scripts myself back in high school. Programming isn't hard for me, and neither is math. But I really need to work on Physics. The midterm counts for 30 points, which is pretty deadly... Damn it, why does the Computer Science department have to learn University Physics? I'd like to ask."

"I don't know, maybe they're cultivating all-rounders. Who knows, maybe some big shot in our class is going to build quantum computers in the future," Su Bai spouted nonsense off the top of his head.
