Chapter 8: Talent is unreasonable, luckily I can add points.
The most exquisitely decorated and modern building at Jingjiang University is the university library.
However, this was An Yi's first time here since enrolling in school.
On the one hand, he had no prior need to come to the library. On the other hand, the school library was located at the southernmost end of the South Campus, and it took him a full half hour to walk there from Dormitory Building 24 in the North Campus!
A school that's too big isn't always a good thing. An Yi is considering getting a bicycle later... Speaking of which, should she buy one with a double seat?
While pondering this question, An Yi and the girl, who was studying advanced mathematics, went up to the second floor of the library together. Just as they were about to continue to the study room on the fourth floor, they suddenly saw a light screen pop up.
[Numerous romanceable characters detected... Searching... Filtering...]
Currently selectable target:

Chemistry: Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry
Biology: General Biology, Botany, Zoology, Microbiology
...]
The immortals are lined up like hemp!
An Yi looked at the book titles that kept popping up and felt a bit dizzy for a moment.
Normally, just seeing these book titles would make others dizzy, but the situation is slightly different now.
The thought of choosing them as targets and then having incredibly beautiful girls... An Yi couldn't wait.
Of course, according to An, he simply loves learning, and learning makes him happy; that's all.
However, An Yi had no intention of selecting them all as his conquest targets right now. The reason was quite simple and direct—given his current abilities, he knew without a doubt that he wouldn't be able to handle it all.
Being a player requires capital. Being a "learning version of a player" requires even more capital!
Putting everything else aside, the values on my current "attribute panel" are... truly appalling.
Thinking of this, An Yi brought up the light screen again to check.
He discovered this feature on the road, and it falls under the category of "more features can be explored on your own" mentioned in the previous system tips.
Name: An Yi
Main Abilities:
Calculation: 1.7 (temporary +1)
Memory: 1.8 (Permanent +1)
Logic: 0.6
Creation: 0.5
Perception: 0.8
Language: 1
Execution: 0.3
[Branch Abilities: Mathematics (expand...), Physics (expand...), Chemistry (expand...), Biology...]
After reading it, An Yi finally understood why the temporary effect of "computation ability +1" was enough to give him that rapid improvement, making him feel almost "omnipotent" for a time.
The computing power has more than doubled; it's no wonder people feel that way!
Through this ability value panel, An Yi gained a direct understanding of his talent for the first time.
For example, he has a language ability of 1.
An Yi's highest score in the college entrance examination was in English, with 137 points. But in fact, he spent the least amount of time on English throughout high school, never memorized any vocabulary, and could be said to have only a junior high school vocabulary. His grammar was also at a level where he had a vague understanding of six out of seven, but no understanding at all.
But his sense of language was so good that even his English teacher exclaimed that it was "exaggerated".
Specifically, due to a lack of vocabulary, An Yi could barely understand what the reading comprehension passages were saying, but he could generally pronounce the words as they appeared. For multiple-choice questions, he would just read the passage once, think, "Hey, this word sounds good when I fill it in," and then make a choice and get the points.
Talent is such an unreasonable thing.
Although An Yi felt that this was not a particularly strong talent, it was indeed very convenient and easy to use.
Therefore, he used to wonder just how outrageous those geniuses with top-notch talent really were, and whether the gap between himself and them was sometimes even greater than the gap between a person and a dog.
But from now on, An Yi knows clearly that he no longer needs to fantasize.
Talent and ability are actually two different things. Strictly speaking, the former allows a person to have a higher starting point in terms of [ability] and to improve efficiency more quickly.
Now An Yi can directly add points to his [Ability]!
Although he will inevitably need to study hard during this process, given his current state of "extreme love for learning," this one problem is no longer a problem.
"Now that I have a permanent +1 memory ability, how will I perform?" An Yi couldn't help but wonder, looking at his memory ability of 1.8.
He quickly came to understand.
The girl who taught advanced mathematics had a simple task for him: to review everything he had learned before, from beginning to end.
Those formulas, those theorems, those problem-solving methods and approaches... An Yi could certainly understand them given her abilities. Just as the girl with advanced mathematics had said, she was definitely not the kind of "difficult to get along with."
However, for An Yi in the past, he was neither able to calm down and study these things seriously, nor could he memorize them after just one use, and he would not spend time to memorize them again after forgetting them.
But now, whether it was the quiet atmosphere in the library study room or the presence of the advanced mathematics girl beside him, he easily became immersed in studying, gradually forgetting where he was, feeling extremely happy, and wanting to keep going.
This is the state of "flow".
"Flow" is a state of high concentration, complete immersion in the present moment, accompanied by intense pleasure and high energy.
Previously, An Yi could only enter this state when playing games or reading novels. This was the first time he'd ever entered it while studying!
This state will continue until the message "Your [Computational Ability +1] has expired" pops up in front of him.
An Yi paused briefly and subconsciously looked at the girl beside him.
She was also reading at that moment, but instead of a professional book, she was reading a beautifully covered one…
"Covering the sky?" An Yi looked puzzled.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Startled, Calculus hurriedly slammed the book shut, quickly reverting to her serious and sweet self.
"Ahem... Do you have any questions? Since you've been working so hard, I'll give you a chance to ask a question for free!"
"Why does it feel like you're trying to bribe me?" An Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Are you sure you want to waste such a precious opportunity on this kind of question?" The calculus teacher asked with a straight face, making no attempt to hide his desire to change the subject.
"Does that mean it can answer anything?"
An Yi's eyes lit up.
"Would Goldbach's Conjecture work too?"
