    “I’m finally full.” After eating three portions of rice, Li Chengqian’s extreme hunger was relieved.


    After his intelligence increased, there were also side effects. If he used his brain for a long time, the energy consumed would increase, just like the CPU of aputer.


    However, this side effect was nothingpared to the benefits of the increase in intelligence.


    Moreover, Li Chengqian knew that in the All-ss Master game, some sses could increase strength.


    When his strength increased to a certain extent, the energy stored in his body would increase, and the energy consumption brought about by the increase in intelligence would be negligible.


    “In the future, if I use my brain for a long time, I must prepare some high-calorie food.” Li Chengqian made a note to himself, then walked happily to the school library.


    He chose a book on assemblynguage and a book on basicputing operating system principles, and ced them on the table.


    The two books were thick, totaling more than 1,400 pages.


    “With the Novice level Focus Skill, I can memorize a page in two seconds.”


    Li Chengqian estimated that he couldn’t go faster than the speed of 2 seconds per page. With the help of the skill, there was no bottleneck in his brain, however it took time for him to focus his eyes. Moreover, the range of vision he could see at a nce was limited.


    “There are still 50 minutes to use the Focus Skill. Based on 2 seconds per page, I should be able to read about 1,500 pages.” Li Chengqian smiled confidently and opened the book on basicputing and operating system principles.


    Master level Focus Skill, activate!


    Instantly, Li Chengqian felt that his mind was iparably clear and at ease. His eyes were like a scanner, instantly analyzing all the information he saw.


    Will-O-Wisps shed continuously in his mind. What used to be extremely difficult knowledge to Li Chengqian had now be as simple as one plus one. It was a piece of cake!


    With a single nce, he had memorized all the contents of the first page of the book. Furthermore, he had mastered it and could even draw inferences from it. Even the person who wrote this book might not have as deep an understanding of the knowledge in the book as Li Chengqian.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The pages were flipped at an extremely fast speed, making a rhythmic sound.


    Twenty minutester, Li Chenggan had finished flipping through the book on basicputing and operating system principles. He had memorized and mastered everything.


    “The foundation of aputer is a semiconductor, a triode! A PN knot!”


    “CPU, GPU, memory. The most basic units are all PN knots.”


    “Computer hardware consists of CPU, motherboard, memory, hard drive, GPU, and other peripherals.”


    “The operating system actually provides users with a simple and universal software to operate theputer hardware.”


    “The structure of the operating system is divided into three levels-the core that directly controls the hardware, the interface API above the core, and the user application program...” In fact, in his previous life, Li Chengqian had also studied programming for a period of time.


    It was also a book on basicputing and operating system principles. In his previous life, he had read it for a month but could not remember anything.


    And now, in just twenty minutes, he hadpletely understood the essence ofputers.


    Hardware, and operating system.


    In his previous life, he had always wanted to understand a problem: how the operating system operated the hardware to performputing, and howputing was performed!


    He had read the information in his previous life, but he couldn’t understand it.


    He understood it now.


    “Next is the assemblynguage!” Li Chengqian picked up the book on assemblynguage and began to flip through it.


    Assemblynguages were hardware-orientednguages. They are usually used to program the core of operating systems or hardware drivers. It was high level stuff.


    In his previous life, when Li Chengqian was job hunting, he learned that people who were proficient in assemblynguagesmand an annual sry of at least a million yuan.


    Li Chengqian studied for half a year, but he gave up because it was too difficult.


    Assemblynguages were machine-orientednguages. It was too different from ordinary people’s logical thoughts. It was difficult to understand.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The speed at which he flipped through the book was no different from before.


    To the current Li Chengqian, assemblynguage, with the enhancement of the Master level Focus Skill, was as easy as addition and subtraction within ten.


    Arge amount of knowledge was memorized, understood, and then integrated, bing knowledge that he could use at will.


    Coincidentally, Li Chengqian had finished flipping through the book on assemblynguages within the duration of Skill Focus.


    A translucent notification appeared in front of him again.


    [You have read for 50 minutes. You have received 50 Experience Bars. 53 Experience Bars remaining.]


    “Unfortunately, the time for using Focus Skill is still too short.”


    “The learning of the C programmingnguage can only be done tomorrow.” Putting down the book, Li Chengqian’s face was filled with regret.


    ...


    When Li Chengqian returned to the ssroom, Jian Qingli was also back.


    Li Chengqian had just sat down when Jian Qingli pushed him. “Li Chengqian, we need to have a good talk.”


    Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, somewhat curious, “About what?”


    Jian Qingli was still very angry when she left after school ended. Now, her attitude had be so good.


    “I have my freedom. Don’t interfere in my matters!” Li Chengqian was her ssmate, neighbor, and good friend. She didn’t want Bi Jialiang’s matter to affect their rtionship.


    “We’re good friends. I don’t want Bi Jialiang to affect our rtionship,” Jian Qingliu said seriously.


    Li Chengqian frowned. “Is Bi Jialiang really that good? Actually, apart from him, anyone would do.”


    Jian Qingli shook her head and did not directly answer Li Chengqian’s question.


    ...


    She said with a faint smile, “I don’t know why you’re so prejudiced against Bi Jialiang.”


    “In fact, Bi Jialiang is really outstanding! He’s very smart and easy to get along with.”


    “In terms of studies, his results are very good. It won’t be a problem for him to get into a key university.”


    “In addition to studying, he’s also very good at programming.”


    “Doyou know about the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?”


    “I know!” Li Chengqian nodded. Of course he knew about thispetition. Previously, he chose to self-studyputer and programming courses because he also wanted to participate in thispetition.


    Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. She didn’t think that Li Chengqian would actually know about thispetition.


    However, in an instant, she suppressed the surprise in her heart and continued, “Thispetition is the most authoritative youth informatics programmingpetition in the country.”


    “In thepetition, as long as you get into the top 50, you will have direct admission to the Divine Dragon University without the college entrance examination!”


    Divine Dragon University was the best school in the country. Every year, they recruited top students from various provinces.


    Those who could enter Divine Dragon University were equivalent to schrs in ancient times.


    ...


    “Our school only has twopetition slots.”


    “Bi Jialiang has already won a spot in one team. Moreover, he has chosen me to participate in thepetition as his teammate!” Jian Qingliu’s beautiful face was beaming when she said this.


    “In the afternoon, Bi Jialiang and I went to look for the teacher to sign up. At that time, the teacher said that with his standard, it’s possible for him to get into the top 50!”


    “Li Chengqian, Bi Jialiang is really kind to me. Please don’t target him,” Jian Qingli said sincerely. There was even a pleading look in her eyes.


    “Jian Qingli, actually, I also want to sign up for the youth informatics programmingpetition. How about you form a team with me?” Li Chengqian’s voice was also very sincere. For Jian Qingling to be able to have a good chat with him meant that she really treated him as a friend.


    Jian Qingli frowned and was a little upset. She has swallowed her pride to try and salvage her rtionship with Li Chengqian, but he didn’t appreciate it at all.


    “Li Chengqian, I’m serious.”


    “Stop fooling around!”


    Li Chengqian couldn’t even learn his school work, so how could he possibly know how to program?


    The youth informatics programmingpetition was the most authoritative programmingpetition in the Divine Dragon Empire.


    Tianyi High School only had two teams. The school wouldn’t have agreed to sign up if they didn’t meet a certain standard.


    “I’m serious too.” Li Chengqian was especially solemn, and his tone was especially serious.


    Jian Qingli shook her head in disappointment and her voice became cold. “Li Chengqian, don’t be unreasonable... Forget it, since you want it, then so be it! But please don’t interfere with my private life in the future.”


    She tried her best to salvage their rtionship, but Li Chengqian didn’t appreciate it at all.


    Since that was the case, there was no need to salvage the situation.


    If she really had to make a choice, she would choose the more outstanding candidate...
