Chapter 297 - 182: Fox Mountain Vehicle Workshop (Part 2)
It was thinking, could it use this bamboo shoot to make something useful?
After all, repairing tools was mainly done at night, during the day it was almost completely idle.
...
The summer in West State City was already in its final stage.
The air conditioning in the West State University library was still running as usual, making it feel somewhat too cold.
The students all put on long-sleeve shirts or jackets, sitting inside reading books.
"Numerical Methods? Is this book useful?"
Next to the bookshelf, Bai Mo pulled out a book, glanced through it, and inserted it back.
Last night, his work had progressed smoothly, successfully completing some important steps. But he still needed more mathematical tools, more secondary conclusions.
"It’s ultimately a potion to be used on myself, I can’t be careless.
"And this one? Differential Geometry?"
Bai Mo pulled out another book, flipped through it... instinctively, it seemed a bit useful?
He handed the book to his apprentice in overalls by his feet.
By this time, Overalls was already holding a thick stack of books... all potentially useful.
...
Thus, the master and apprentice duo found a pile of miscellaneous books, found a vacant spot together, sat down, and began reading.
Overalls took out the master’s tablet from its satchel, allowing the master to read and write simultaneously.
It then took the master’s water cup, ran to fetch a cup of water for the master, and jumped onto the table.
"Ying ying ying!"
Bai Mo took the water, pressed down on the table’s vibration with his hand, and gave an apologetic smile to the female student next to him.
He then whispered to Overalls, "Be quiet in the library, and don’t jump on the table."
After speaking, he lifted the apprentice into his lap, holding it while reading.
...
Time passed bit by bit, Bai Mo glanced through many books, flipped many pages, and noted down some notes.
Overalls nestled in the master’s arms, looking here and there, occasionally rubbing its head against the master’s chest.
It was its first time in the human world and it was very excited!
Occasionally, a student walked by, recognizing Bai Mo, and whispered softly.
"It’s Bai Mo, have you heard? He came to university and is still top of the class."
"Easily dominating the class in advanced mathematics."
"Hehe."
"He’s reading Mathematical Analysis."
"Looks so impressive!"
Bai Mo was already accustomed to this kind of talk, too lazy to care.
He read at a fast pace.
Because he sought only to solve the problem, not to master systematically.
The first foundation layer of advanced mathematics includes "Advanced Algebra," "Mathematical Analysis," "Spatial Analytic Geometry."
The second foundation layer of advanced mathematics includes "Complex Functions," "Modern Functions," "Topology."
Once these two layers are built, only then can you continue to climb upward.
But Bai Mo... he didn’t need to build these two layers. He just wanted to find a pillar within these two layers, to climb up along the pillar and glimpse the upper scenery, and that would suffice.
Time passed bit by bit.
There were fewer and fewer people in the library.
Overalls sat in the master’s lap, furrowing its brows, eyes darting around, drawing a conclusion... those who left had all gone to eat lunch!
It clutched its round belly... it was hungry too!
Not truly hungry, but psychologically hungry because others were eating!
The senior brothers and sisters said there were many delicious foods in the West State University cafeteria, and it wanted to eat now!
But when it looked up at the master, it saw the master’s serious face, completely absorbed, sometimes flipping through a book, sometimes taking notes.
"Aww..."
It settled down, obediently crouching in the master’s lap.
Seeing the master pick up the water cup and drink it dry, it wormed its way out of the master’s embrace, took the cup, and went to fetch another cup of water for the master, this time lightly hopping back onto the table... even though this table was now only occupied by the master.
Overalls snuggled back into the master’s lap and waited for an unknown length of time, seeing gradually, the library filled with people again.
Some people had sauces still by the corners of their mouths, not wiped clean, some held their bellies after overeating, some burped loudly.
Overalls furrowed its brows, simply burying its head in its big tail, out of sight, out of mind!
...
Bai Mo’s tablet was filled with more and more notes.
Gradually, a train of thought took shape in his mind.
Regarding the issue of the Nasal Soup, it seemed indeed related to mathematics, and it could actually be solved with mathematical methods?
Bai Mo was engrossed, entirely unaware of time passing.
Reading, writing, deducing.
Slowly, the formula took shape in his mind.
"Three portions... no, four portions... five portions.
"Among these five portions, one is suitable for me, after using it, I can strengthen my nose.
"The other four are not suitable. Using them would result in strange mutations.
"As for which one exactly would help me evolve... needs proving!
"This has turned into a mathematical proof problem!"
Bai Mo thought and thought, finally writing down an equation on the tablet. It was the famous "Fermat’s Last Theorem"!
"Seems unrelated at first glance, but it really is related.
"If I can understand the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, I can use similar methods to figure out which prescription is right for me."
Bai Mo put down the pen and looked up.
He shook his neck.
This is great news!
Fermat’s Last Theorem is a problem that’s already been solved. The human world has a ready-made method, and once learned, I can solve the problem of Nasal Soup. Although learning this thing might really take some effort...
"Huh? It’s already three-thirty?"
Bai Mo looked up at the library clock.
He then realized that lunchtime seemed to have passed?
He looked down at the overalls he was holding.
He saw the overalls sit up and poke its round belly.
"Eek eek eek!"
It wanted to tell the master that it’s not hungry.
Yet it swallowed its saliva.
Bai Mo rubbed its head.
"Hehe."
"There’s probably no food left in the cafeteria now, master will take you to eat out!"
...
The overalls squatted on Bai Mo’s shoulder, and the master and disciple went together to the library entrance.
"Shall we eat grilled fish?
Or find a self-service Big Bone restaurant?
I wonder how Immortal Beasts are charged at a buffet?
Maybe we can teach the owner a lesson?"
The overalls didn’t understand any of this, just continued to swallow its saliva.
"Eek eek eek!"
Grilled fish and Big Bone, it hasn’t tried either, and it really wants to taste them both!
Just as they reached the entrance, they suddenly heard thunder rolling across the sky!
Then saw a cool breeze outside, dark clouds gathering in the sky, a torrential downpour started instantly.
Splash...
The rain screen connects heaven and earth.
Bai Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Why did it suddenly start raining?
And such heavy rain?"
He turned back to the library, borrowed an umbrella from the front desk, opened it, and went out with the overalls.
Thus, carrying the umbrella, with the overalls squatting on his shoulder, they slowly headed to the school gate through the rain.
Swoosh...
A car passed by on the main road, splashing a lot of water.
"Only on rainy days do you feel having a car would be nice."
Bai Mo casually complained.
Swoosh...
Another car passed by, stopping not far away.
The window rolled down, revealing Yang Zhan! This rascal was just released after serving his sentence.
He looked over, glanced at Bai Mo holding the umbrella, glanced at Bai Mo’s shoes soaked in puddles, seeming to take great delight in Bai Mo’s predicament.
"Hehe."
He chuckled, rolled up the window, and drove away.
Bai Mo couldn’t be bothered to care, while walking, he pulled out his phone and showed pictures to the overalls.
"Look, this is called Big Bone.
This one is called grilled fish.
Grilled fish can be not spicy, you can choose garlic flavor.
Which one do you want to eat?"
The overalls’ eyes were still following Yang Zhan’s car.
It was very angry!
At this moment, looking at the car’s rotating wheels, and thinking back to its own rotating bamboo, it suddenly had an idea...to build a car for the master!
"Eek eek eek!
Awoo awoo awoo!"
After thinking it through, it squatted on the master’s shoulder and cheered happily!
Bai Mo couldn’t figure out what it wanted to eat.
"Alright then, let’s go eat them both.
"First, grilled fish, then ribs."
Eat grilled fish first to pad the overalls’ belly. Otherwise, if they directly went to the self-service Big Bone, the owner might really cry.
...
Weaving through the rain, they approached the school’s entrance and soon came to the nearby restaurant street.
Entering the grilled fish shop, putting away the umbrella, they sat down and ordered food.
Bai Mo again thought of "Fermat’s Last Theorem."
"How to learn this thing quickly? Should I ask Teacher Chen?"
Bai Mo furrowed his brows, thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered a more appropriate person...Zhang Qiren!
