Rong Yu returned to the classroom and sat down.
She sent a ssage to her teacher, Academician Yun: "Teacher, I have a few questions I'd like to ask. Could we have dinner together tonight? It would be even better if you could also invite Academician Min, Academician Lin, Academician Zhai, Academician Zhou, and Academician Tian..."
Yun Xiaoyuan replied: "I'm actually a bit curious about what you want to ask, little girl. Don't worry, I'll bring everyone who is free."
The last class of the afternoon was physics. Liu Jinyue, who was in his forties, was youthful and humorous. His lectures were incredibly engaging, turning dull physics concepts into fascinating topics. The students of the Tianxingjian Class were completely captivated.
As the dismissal bell rang, Rong Yu was the first to stand up. "Academician Liu, please wait a mont."
She quickly walked up to the podium. "Are you free tonight, Academician Liu?"
Liu Jinyue smiled and said, "It's for the dinner gathering, right? Academician Yun already ssaged ... By the way, regarding this week's group assignnt, there are a few things your group needs to pay attention to..."
The topic suddenly shifted to physics.
Rong Yu listened attentively.
Sitting below, Duan Fei looked up.
He saw Rong Yu and Academician Liu engaged in a heated debate over a physics concept.
He wondered if soone like Rong Yu, who was so entirely devoted to her studies, would actually pay attention to the school's gossip forum.
Therefore, Rong Yu probably didn't know about the situation between him and Zhai Weitong.
No wonder she had looked so baffled when he tried to explain himself earlier.
Duan Fei felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
However, Song Huai, who was sitting by the window, felt his heart leap into his throat.
In the past, he had always wanted to introduce Rong Yu to Academician Liu.
But now, seeing Rong Yu and Academician Liu conversing so happily, a strong sense of crisis inexplicably welled up in his heart.
After finishing his chat with Rong Yu, Liu Jinyue waved at Song Huai. "There's a dinner gathering tonight. Get ready, you're coming with ."
Song Huai's spirits lifted. "Okay, Teacher."
He guessed that his teacher was taking him to an academic dinner.
Sure enough, when evening ca and he entered the private room, he saw several academicians: the mathematics giant Academician Yun, applied mathematics expert Academician Min, molecular physics heavyweight Academician Lin, chanics expert Academician Tian, and electromagnetics expert Academician Zhai... all of them were resounding leading figures in their respective fields.
Liu Jinyue introduced him to the crowd: "This is my student, Song Huai. He's a very outstanding young man."
Min Shenyan nodded. "I saw him at the last dinner. He is indeed excellent, with a very sharp mind. I have to say, why are you all so quick to act? Taking them in as students before they even start college, you really don't leave any chances for the rest of us."
Yun Xiaoyuan retorted in annoyance: "You already have over thirty direct disciples under your na, what more do you want?"
"You can never have too many good students." Min Shenyan rubbed his hands together. "Say, Lao Yun, let's make a deal. If you give your newly accepted student to , I'll apply to transfer all my research funding for next year under your na. How about it?"
Academician Lin imdiately chid in: "Then I'll offer all my research funding for the next three years. Academician Yun, care to consider?"
"Are you two running an auction here?" Yun Xiaoyuan sneered. "I accepted my student through my own ability. Why should I give them up to you boors!"
Song Huai's eyes flickered with surprise and uncertainty.
As far as he knew, didn't Academician Yun only have one student? When did she accept a new one?
For these academicians to cast aside their images and fight over them, this student must be exceptionally outstanding. Who could it be?
At this mont.
The door to the private room was pushed open.
"Apologies for keeping you all waiting, Academicians. I'm sorry I'm late."
A clear voice rang out.
Song Huai's pupils contracted sharply. He whipped his head around and saw Rong Yu standing there.
Yun Xiaoyuan glanced at her wristwatch. "There are still ten minutes until our agreed ti. You're not late; we all just arrived early."
Min Shenyan chuckled heartily. "It's rare for you to initiate a dinner gathering, little girl. I finished my work early and rushed over. Hurry up and take a seat so we can have a good chat."
Rong Yu walked in and sat between Yun Xiaoyuan and Min Shenyan.
Song Huai's mouth fell open in sheer astonishnt.
Tonight's dinner was initiated by Rong Yu?
A re college freshman managed to invite so many academicians to a gathering?
Yun Xiaoyuan handed the nu over. "Xiao Yu, we saved three dishes for you to order. Take a look and see what you'd like to eat."
Rong Yu smiled and said, "Anything is fine, whatever you like."
"My daughter is about the sa age as Rong Yu, let order."
There were only two female academicians present; one was Yun Xiaoyuan, and the other was surnad Zhai, Academician Zhai, who was in her fifties.
She took the nu and said to the waiter, "One cola chicken wings, one sweet and sour pork ribs, and add a garlic mashed pork knuckle. Rong Yu, does that sound good to you?"
Rong Yu nodded. "Thank you for the trouble, Academician Zhai."
Song Huai's eyes widened in disbelief.
Academician Zhai was actually ordering food for a junior herself?
In front of these academicians, he was always so cautious and ticulous, playing the role of soone who poured tea and served water. He didn't even dare to interject, terrified of saying the wrong thing.
Yet Rong Yu was being pampered and doted on like this.
Why?
"Co on, Xiao Yu, show everyone the processing speed of your super brain first," Yun Xiaoyuan said with a proud face. "Let them see how amazing my student is."
Rong Yu: "..."
She knew this would happen.
But, since she was the one asking them for a favor, she might as well show off a bit.
Song Huai froze once again.
The student of Academician Yun that all the academicians were fighting over was Rong Yu?
Rong Yu was actually Academician Yun's student?
Listening to their conversation, Rong Yu had already taken Academician Yun as her teacher last year...
Yet she had remained completely silent about it, never showing off, keeping such an incredibly low profile.
anwhile, he couldn't wait to tell his roommates that he was Academician Liu's direct disciple right after taking his very first class.
By comparison, he looked like an absolute clown.
After finishing her super brain demonstration, Rong Yu imdiately got to the point: "I invited you all to dinner today because I've encountered a major problem, and I'm hoping to get so guidance from everyone."
Min Shenyan was highly intrigued. "Tell us quickly."
Rong Yu spoke slowly: "If, and I an hypothetically if, there existed a phenonon of luck transfer, aning that an increase in one person's luck cos at the cost of a decrease in another person's luck, how might this be explained scientifically?"
Yun Xiaoyuan asked curiously, "Why would you ask such a thing?"
"I recently watched a movie," Rong Yu explained. "The movie depicted this interesting phenonon, but the plot linked it to taphysics. Since we are all scientific researchers, I prefer to think about this matter from a scientific perspective."
Song Huai was in disbelief.
Just because she watched a movie, she invited so many academicians over to explain its plot? Wasn't this absurd?
Since when were academicians so easy to invite?
He thought everyone would fiercely reprimand Rong Yu for such behavior.
Instead, he saw all the academicians furrowing their brows, actually pondering this hypothesis with utmost seriousness.
Academician Zhai was the first to speak: "From the perspective of quantum physics, if luck is a asurable form of energy, then its transfer must be accompanied by the collapse and reconstruction of quantum states. Theoretically, this energy transfer would produce detectable quantum fluctuations, especially when the giver and receiver are in close contact."
Academician Lin continued, "According to the second law of thermodynamics, any energy transfer process results in an increase in the system's entropy. If this kind of luck transfer truly exists, the surrounding environnt would definitely display anomalous thermodynamic signatures."
Min Shenyan said, "If luck is indeed being transferred, we might be able to detect anomalous patterns in brainwaves or biomagnetic fields."
