Chapter 3: High-IQ geniuses don't follow the rules!
"Is Luo Yao home?" a strange man's voice rang out, followed by Sun Xiulan's voice.
"My son is home. What do you need?" Sun Xiulan looked at the man in a suit carrying a suitcase with a suspicious expression.
The person's clothes made him look like he came from the city, not from the town.
"I am an admissions officer at Yenching University. My surname is Xu."
Yenching University?
Is it that famous university?
Sun Xiulan and Luo Xingguo, who was standing to the side, exchanged a glance and hurriedly greeted, "Hello, teacher, we are Luo Yao's parents. Luo Yao is inside. Are you looking for him?"
Teacher Xu came here to persuade Luo Yao to choose their school. Now that he sees that Luo Yao's family only runs a small restaurant, he is even more confident.
"Oh, so you're Luo Yao's parent. Hello, Auntie, could you please take me to meet Luo Yao?"
"Of course, come with me." Sun Xiulan's face lit up with a smile when she heard that it was a teacher from Yenching University. She took off her apron and was about to lead Teacher Xu inside when someone called her back.
"Are you Luo Yao's parent? I'm Ms. Wu, an admissions officer from Zhejiang University. Is Luo Yao at home?"
Before Luo Xingguo and Sun Xiulan could reply, another person, also dragging a suitcase, walked out from the side.
"Hello, this is Ouyang, an admissions officer from East China University of Science and Technology. Is Luo Yao there?"
……
In no time, Luo Xingguo and Sun Xiulan were greeted by admissions officers from seven schools at their doorstep. The admissions officers were all acquaintances, and everyone became nervous upon seeing each other.
"Teacher Wu, I was the one who chose Luo Yao first, don't try to steal her from me!"
"The only person in the country who can win three first prizes—I'm definitely getting this person!"
"Why are you telling me this? Didn't you see Professor Xu from Yenching University is already there?"
"Oh no, the people from Yenching University have already arrived, so the people from Tsinghua University probably won't be far behind."
"We need to get in quickly! Auntie, please take us to see Luo Yao; we want to discuss going to university with him!"
Sun Xiulan didn't dare to delay and quickly led them into the house.
Following Sun Xiulan inside, the seven teachers saw Luo Yao sitting at the wooden table in the kitchen.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw Luo Yao. In the old kitchen, although Luo Yao was dressed simply, his handsome appearance and bright eyes were captivating.
Ordinary college students often exude a kind of innocent naiveté, but Luo Yao is different. Luo Yao's eyes are very bright and spirited, a kind of eyes rarely seen in schools.
This child will be no ordinary person in the future!
The admissions officers thought of Luo Yao's grades and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Luo Yao, of course, noticed the admissions officers who had arrived, but he remained calm, still sitting on the stool with his book in hand, looking at them and asking, "Are you admissions officers from other schools?"
Luo Yao's words immediately caused a stir in the live stream.
"These seven are all admissions officers?!"
"Wait, do admissions officers have to go to people's homes? This is the first time I've ever seen that!"
"I say it was the first time we met because we're both ordinary people!"
"Luo Yao is so outstanding, can you guess why the admissions officers would take the initiative to visit him?"
"That was a representative from Tsinghua University. Who are these people? Could it be that Peking University is here too? Isn't this a bit too much of a show of force?"
"Where there's Tsinghua University, there's bound to be Yenching University, so it's a certainty!"
So calm!
The admissions officers looked at Luo Yao with admiration. In all their years of admissions work, they had never seen such a composed student.
"Student Luo, I am Professor Xu from Yenching University. You know our standing in China. If you are willing to choose our school, we are willing to add another 100,000 yuan to the scholarship that Tsinghua University will give you."
"Student Luo, now you need to consider which university to attend, right? I'm Professor Wu from Zhejiang University. Our Physics Department adopts a 2+X training system, which can provide you with a high-quality development path that suits your characteristics."
"If you're interested, the teacher can explain it to you in detail."
"Come to our school, Shanghai University, Luo! We'll provide you with all the resources you need! Don't you have an older sister? If you come here, your sister can enroll too!"
"Look at me, Luo! We can even help you and your parents find jobs!"
"Luo, my mom and your mom are from the same place. If you come to our school, I can take good care of you!"
As the number of viewers in the live stream increased, the admissions officers' efforts to recruit Luo Yao created a huge buzz in the live stream.
"Holy crap! They're actually university admissions officers! These officers traveled all the way to this small town just to compete for Luo Yao?"
"First prize in math, physics, and chemistry! Some people might not understand the significance of this, right? An ordinary person only needs one first prize to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University! Luo Yao has three first prizes!"
"Today I finally witnessed firsthand how admissions officers compete for students! It's terrifying!"
"The admissions officers even found out where Luo Yao's mother is from. That's an incredibly far-reaching connection!"
"Since he could even solve my sister's school problem, is it too late for me to acknowledge Luo Yao as my brother?"
"I'm not talking about recognizing a brother anymore, I want to recognize a dad! Would that help me find a job?"
Luo Yao continued reading his book as if no one else was around, gathering information from the admissions officers as he read.
By the time he finished reading the last page of the book, Luo Yao had also collected all the assistance that the various schools could offer him.
Luo Yao turned his head slightly, about to speak, when the system spoke.
[Congratulations, host, you have completed the "Algebraic Topology" task!]
[System Reward Technology: A complete set of EDA software technology!]
After waiting for many years, this stingy system finally decided to reward him with his first technology.
It's actually EDA software technology?
Luo Yao knew that in the world he lived in, technological development was limited, and in China, the only way to manufacture chips was through contract manufacturers.
Furthermore, EDA chip design software, which is known as the mother of chips, is even more lacking.
It can be said that no usable domestic EDA has been developed yet.
The key is that this thing can't be pirated. If you use pirated EDA, the simulation verification and modular design will basically all have problems.
If you're lucky and no problems arise, you can take the designed chip to a foundry. If the foundry discovers that you didn't use genuine software for the design, they won't dare to produce it.
Therefore, EDA software is indeed urgently needed by the chip industry.
If anyone manages to develop it, they will undoubtedly become a highly sought-after talent by various technology companies.
The system provided him with a complete set of EDA technologies, but he also needed someone to help him transform the technologies from theory into practical applications.
Having thought about this, Luo Yao had an idea. He said, "I like being with smart people."
Everyone was shocked. Did you have to be so blunt?
"I'll ask you a question, and whoever answers it correctly will be chosen by me."
and many more!
It's always the admissions officers who interview students, so why is Luo Yao interviewing the admissions officers instead!
Highly intelligent geniuses are always so unconventional in their actions!
