Super God-Level Top Student

Hanna glanced at Liu Chenfeng, her mind full of question marks.

This didn't make sense, such a useful software, and she had never heard of it before.

"Hehe, surprised, aren't you?"

Sitting on Hanna's other side, Chen Yiwen turned his head, explaining with a proud air, "This is Group Wisdom, you must have read Qiao Ze's previous paper, right? It's that same theory. Using causal decoupling to allow an intelligent platform to achieve a high level of intelligence without needing much data. If you paid attention, I'm the third author on that paper."

Hanna glanced at Chen Yiwen and said seriously, "Actually, I didn't study that paper in detail because it didn't fit with my doctoral research direction. It's just that my advisor wanted me to help him find the watermark hidden inside the paper."

"Haha, so I suggest you read that paper carefully, and maybe you won't be so shocked. Especially since our research group's Qunzhi System has also added an emotion judgment module. That paper hasn't been published yet, but Qiao Ze said that I'm also the third author on it. Once that paper is published, I suggest you study it carefully as well,"

Chen Yiwen said with a smug smile.

As the start of the school year approached, his mood brightened as well.

If these women around him lacked taste, so be it.

But he believed that the freshman girls would definitely have taste.

An outstanding young man like him, in his sophomore year with rich research experience and having published articles in world-class journals, handsome, dashing, and wealthy, surely could not remain single.

At least, before this National Day, he must get a girlfriend!

...

On the same ordinary day, while Hanna was still shocked and at a loss for words by the so-called Qunzhi intelligence paper assistant in Qiao Ze's research group, the famous internet electronics reviewer Han Yasong had just stepped out of Linhai Airport.

He had come all the way from Shencheng to Linhai to attend the well-known Huaxia mobile phone manufacturer PoPo's new product launch.

Today, PoPo's third-generation vertical folding screen phone, the Fp3, was officially launched.

The launch was scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m.

For an electronics reviewer, this launch was quite noteworthy.

According to the official statement, this was the industry's first ultra-light shadow triple-camera phone.

Besides that, PoPo was also releasing a new generation of smartwatches today.

Nice, two products were enough for Han Yasong to make two unboxing videos.

There was no helping it, the competition in the internet electronics review market was fierce.

Being able to get first-hand products was too important if one wanted to stay in the game.

Taking a taxi to the vicinity of today's PoPo launch's main venue, Han Yasong casually found a restaurant to snatch a bite before hurrying to the main hall of the launch.

It was still early when he entered—it was just twelve forty—but the venue was already a sea of people.

Although PoPo's volume was not among the top in Huaxia, its fashionable design and a series of personalized features targeted at young people still earned it many fans.

Luckily, with over five million followers, Han Yasong was a special guest at this launch, and the manufacturer had reserved a good position for him in advance.

After being led to a forward position by the staff and provided with an invitation, Han Yasong took out his phone and began capturing the scene of the launch venue.

These were useful materials for when he'd edit the videos later.

After finishing that and ignoring the surrounding noise, he started scrolling through his phone.

Suddenly, he noticed a push notification from Youwei Mall.

He looked at it, thinking at first sight that he saw it wrong. Read new chapters at empire

He blinked hard and looked again more carefully...

What's going on?

The new Youwei M60p phone was already on sale?

Acting on instinct, Han Yasong clicked through, and seeing the link was still active, he immediately clicked to buy.

Only after completing the payment by muscle memory did Han Yasong finally come to his senses. What's going on? The M60p suddenly goes on sale without any preheat?

The new product launch hasn't even started, has it?

Although he had received early leaks about the specs of this year's new smartphone, how did the official website suddenly start selling it before the launch event had even started?

After realizing what happened, he quickly clicked on the comments section below and, sure enough, almost everyone was complaining.

"Caught completely off-guard, the M60P is for sale already? Luckily, I was playing with my phone while eating noodles at noon and saw the push notification, or else wouldn't I have missed out?"

"Ordered, looking forward to receiving it. Also, I really want to know, what exactly happened?"

"Isn't this too sudden? Did something happen that I'm not aware of?"

"Why has Yu suddenly become so low-key? He didn't even brag about being far ahead, how come he's started selling phones now?"

"Damn it, I just hesitated for a few minutes looking at the specs, and when I came back, they were all sold out?"

"Guys, the offline Youwei flagship store in Shencheng has already started selling them synchronously; I've got the actual device now, I'll show you guys the real deal! No more chit-chat, here are the photos!"

"Damn it, Shencheng is really fast. I'm in Xu Ning. I just ordered one after seeing the message and immediately went to the Youwei flagship store downstairs, and they said they didn't have stock yet. How come it's already for sale in Shencheng?"

...

At this point, Han Yasong stopped scrolling and jumped up from his seat.

How infuriating, right?

What did he do?

Why did he travel all the way from Shencheng to Linhai to attend this launch event?

If Youwei suddenly releases a new phone, who will pay attention to PoPo?

If he doesn't get the new Youwei phone today, won't his review be a step behind others?

He quickly dialed a number, and while holding the phone, he spoke as he walked toward the exit,"Hey, did you see it? Youwei's new phone has been launched... I've ordered one online too, but there are units available offline in Shencheng, hurry and grab one... Oh, you're already on it?... What? There's already a long queue?

Alright, you keep queuing, I'll book a ticket now. I should be able to get back to Shencheng by afternoon."

As he hurriedly left, Han Yasong keenly noticed that many people were starting to leave the conference against the flow.

He opened the ticket booking app, and thankfully, there was a 2:25 PM flight from Linhai to Shencheng with only three tickets left.

He booked the ticket and called a car in quick succession...

By the time Han Yasong was in the car to Linhai Yuqiao International Airport, the news about Youwei M60p's sudden release had spread all over the internet.

The buzz was climbing at an incredibly fast rate.

As for PoPo's launch event in the related field today, it was almost impossible to find a few news items unless one searched intentionally.

Of course, this was understandable; people are curious by nature.

After all, the sudden launch of Youwei's new phone was too unexpected, and everyone wanted to know what exactly had happened.

Until this very moment, Han Yasong's mind was still bewildered.

Could it really be?

Had he not heard about any deep hatred between Youwei and PoPo?

Why would they specifically choose this day to launch a new phone?

...

In Huaxia, Xilin University of Technology, the newly opened canteen on the second floor of building number three.

"Hey, Qiao, look at this. Youwei's new phone has suddenly gone on sale."

"Hmm." Qiao Ze glanced at the phone Su Mucheng handed to him and nodded.

He wasn't particularly concerned.

His needs for a phone were simple; as long as it worked, it was fine.

Even though Youwei was a partner, Qiao Ze didn't really care how they chose to sell their phones.

"Oh, no wonder my dad specifically brought a few phones over yesterday and said it was best not to show off online. So they're on sale today, huh. No launch event even. Hey, Qiao, look, a user commented that the personal assistant Yi has been upgraded and has become 'smart'. Did they use our Qunzhi System in Yi?"

Qiao Ze glanced at the phone Su Mucheng handed over again, which showed a comment: "Damn, for those who got the new device, I highly recommend trying out Yi. If it doesn't blow your mind, I'll eat my hat! I seriously suspect this thing's become sentient!"
