After a busy year, Lu Zhou could finally relax at home.

The US mathematical modeling competition was happening, but he did not participate. First of all, he did not have a team. Secondly, this type of competition was not worthy of his time.

He had already received the Higher Education Society Cup, so he would not gain anything from this applied mathematics competition.

Also, he had recently won the ?Best Young Speaker Award? from the academic conference, and that was way more valuable than the championship from the US Competition.

He decided to let the low-level players compete amongst themselves.

If he was going to join a competition, it would be something like the International Genetic Engineering Machine (iGEM) or the International College Robotics Challenge (ICRA) where it was both fun and realistic.

Of course, it all depended on whether he had spare time. He still had to study for his physics degree, and he could foresee that he would have to put more into time in school.

It was getting boring staying at home.

Lu Zhou could not find anything to do other than play League Of Legends. He would chat with his parents, help his sister with homework, play around with Xiao Tong, and read the news…

Lu Zhou logged into the US Competition website and looked at the questions for fun.

Hm, these questions are weird.

Question A was about eradicating the Ebola Virus. Question B was about searching for the Malaysian plane MH370. Question C was about human resources. The questions alone took five pages, and the last question was about solving the population growth problem.

Lu Zhou: ?…?

F*ck, thank god I didn?t enter the competition!

Are these questions even related to mathematical modeling?

Fortunately, these questions had to be solved by other people at the University of Jin Ling, and it had nothing to do with Lu Zhou.

Quickly, the new year arrived. There was a festive atmosphere around the community.

Same as always, everyone was in a festive spirit.

The only difference was that instead of asking ?How are your grades??, people started asking Lu Zhou, ?Have you found a girlfriend?? or ?Do you want me to introduce someone to you??.

Lu Zhou was annoyed by the questions.

The second day after the New Year, Lu Zhou?s phone was ringing non-stop. People were calling him to wish him a happy new year.

Surprisingly, Lu Zhou received a call from Luo Wenxuan at Princeton.

?Happy New Year! Also, I have to thank you!?

?Thank me??

Luo Wenxuan said excitedly, ?Yes, about the seven results from a six-sided dice! The inspiration you gave me was very important. I?ll buy you drinks next time.?

?I?ll remember that. Also, congratulations,? said Lu Zhou. He smiled and said, ?Speaking of which, aren?t you coming back for New Year??

Luo Wenxuan replied, ?I already went back for Christmas, and the experiment has entered a critical stage, so I can?t leave. I?ll have to spend New Year at Princeton.?

He was a little sad, but he was used to living abroad.

They chatted about mathematics and physics for a bit before they ended the call.

After Lu Zhou hung up, Xiao Tong who was playing on her phone suddenly asked, ?Bro, when are you planning on finding a wife??

Lu Zhou smiled and replied, ?Good question.?

As she laid bare feet on the sofa, she sighed and spoke with a pained voice, ?As your dearest sister, I?m sad that you replied like that. How about I introduce you to some? There are a few students in my class that really respect you.?

Lu Zhou did not know that people in her class knew of him.

Lu Zhou replied, ?Introduce my ass. What do you know about dating? Trying to find me a partner. Who do you think you are… Like I would need help finding a partner.?

She replied, ?Hey, why can?t I? Why does it have to do with my age??

Lu Zhou coughed and said, ?Let me give you an example. If I found a girlfriend younger than you, what would you call her??

She replied, ?I?ll just call her sister-in-law??

Lu Zhou: ?…?

What?

She makes sense…

Dammit.

In the end, Lu Zhou said something like ?stop talking about dating when you?re so young? and ended the conversation.

Another few days passed by fleetingly… Happy times were always short.

The little princess at home carried a backpack and went back to her daily high school life.

Lu Zhou had to return to school because of Ten Thousand People Initiative, so he said goodbye to his parents and left.

Lu Bangguo took a day off and sent Lu Zhou to the train station. He patted his son?s shoulder and said, ?Take care.?

Lu Zhou had to transfer from train to high-speed rail.

After he left the subway station, he carried his suitcase to his dorm.

The graduate entrance exam had just finished, so the school was empty.

There were only a couple of students on campus doing research.

Lu Zhou returned to his dorm and promptly unpacked before he laid in his bed.

He had taken such a long break that it was time to see what missions the system had cooked up for him.

When Lu Zhou entered into the system space, he saw pure white.
