Chapter 58 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 22) (See above...)
Looking at the math problem 1+2=? above, and Chen Shumeng holding the chalk, Gu Jin opened and closed her mouth, but ultimately didn't say the answer.
After barking three times, Beibei wagged its tail triumphantly, glanced at Gu Jin, and once again pushed the math problem 5-3=? onto him.
Seeing the dog's "you're such an idiot" expression, Gu Jin, who thought he already had a thick skin, wiped his face and finally took his leave during the third question. He really still needed to work on his thick skin.
It was already completely dark, and there wasn't much time left before curfew. Shen Shumeng went back to school with Gu Jin and refused Shen Zechen's offer to take them back.
Shen Zechen's initial joy at his successful plan visibly dissipated. He only reluctantly agreed after his younger sister said she didn't want her brother to suffer and promised to part ways with Gu Jin at the school gate.
On the other side, Liu Zhenzhen considerately escorted her boyfriend, with whom she had just confirmed their relationship, to the school gate, and said with a smile, "Go back now, and text me when you get to your dorm."
Her boyfriend reached out and hugged her, smiling happily. "I'll tell my roommates in a few days that we should have dinner together, and I'll introduce you to each other."
Liu Zhenzhen leaned against her boyfriend's chest, and the two talked for a long time, their conversation overflowing with sweetness, until they reluctantly parted ways just before curfew.
“I’ve met your other two roommates, but I’m really looking forward to meeting that computer science genius who invented the alarm clock.” Liu Zhenzhen waved and watched her boyfriend until he disappeared from sight after entering the school.
The person Liu Zhenzhen was dating was none other than Ding Jie, Shen Zechen's roommate who liked to play live streaming.
The play he rehearsed during the summer vacation was broadcast online some time ago, but it was unremarkable and didn't cause any stir. Ding Jie also started live streaming his grueling training again.
They jokingly call Shen Zechen's wake-up app "Instructor," and now the three of them are used to being woken up early by the instructor to do things like standing in place to wake themselves up.
After the wake-up app he popularized was acquired, it was quickly relaunched to capitalize on the hype. Surprisingly, people actually started using it, especially on short videos and live streams, where many people posted reviews.
Aside from the bizarre and magical nature of its wake-up call, the fact that it cannot be turned off has presented numerous challenges, yet to this day, no one has been able to crack the software.
After discovering that Beibei was becoming increasingly intelligent, Liu Zhenzhen filmed many short videos and uploaded them to a certain platform, where they unexpectedly became popular, and Beibei gained hundreds of thousands of fans.
Later, her boss started causing trouble again. Not only did her salary decrease, but she also had a lot more work to do. With a bunch of messy things happening every day, Liu Zhenzhen quit her job and started making short videos and doing live streams.
A chance live stream brought her and Ding Jie together, followed by several more coincidental encounters. During one of their brief meetings, Liu Zhenzhen suddenly called out to Ding Jie, and the two exchanged contact information, which led to their date today.
Ding Jie is three years younger than her, but he is a caring person. Knowing about her live streaming, he even wrote a long list of precautions and some small details to attract viewers.
Liu Zhenzhen specially bought a large beef bone, full of beef, and asked the owner not to add any seasoning, in order to coax her golden retriever Beibei, whom she had left alone for several hours.
She thought her dog would be sad and upset, or even angry and ignore her, but when she arrived at Mr. Shen's house, she almost couldn't get the dog back.
The half-human-sized golden retriever rubbed against Shen Zechen, hugged him, and even playfully hooked his ankles with its paws. It showed no signs of being abandoned or depressed; it was clearly having a great time!
Finally, at Boss Shen's instruction, Beibei reluctantly let go of his paws, looking aggrieved and teary-eyed.
Shen Zechen cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly, "Beibei is quite smart. My sister was home just now and taught it some things when she was bored, and it learned them very well."
Liu Zhenzhen initially thought it was instructions like shaking hands, sitting down, or spinning around, which Beibei did learn very quickly. However, after asking for details, she learned that Beibei was actually learning math problems.
Liu Zhenzhen returned home in a daze, still finding it unbelievable. Her dog had only stayed at Boss Shen's house for three or four hours, how could it have learned addition and subtraction within five!
Liu Zhenzhen tentatively posed several questions and finally confirmed that Boss Shen—no, I mean, Boss Shen—was indeed true to his word. He came from a family with a long tradition of learning, and even his sister possessed unique skills!
The whole family are beast tamers; they must have been the chief disciples of the Beast Taming Sect in the cultivation world in their past lives!
She happily shared the good news with her boyfriend, Ding Jie, and only after receiving his praise and goodnight did she put down her phone contentedly.
Liu Zhenzhen is a pet streamer, so the fact that Beibei can do math is not only a surprise to her, but also great material for her live stream. She has already chosen the background and clothes needed for Beibei's math live stream and plans to share this with her fans tomorrow.
When people encounter happy things, they can't help but share them with their friends. Ding Jie had just confirmed his relationship with his girlfriend and was so excited that he couldn't sleep, so he posted a sweet message in the dormitory group chat:
[@All members and brothers, fantastic news!!! [Sprinkling flowers][Applause][Celebration]]
Dude, I'm no longer single today!! [roses][hearts][handshakes]
She just hugged me and said she didn't want to be apart, and even called me "baby"!!
My heart is pounding and I can't stop! Someone please help me! [Heart pounding.jpg]
She just shared some happy things that happened to her and even said goodnight to me, baby!! [Laughing with hands on hips.jpg]
What should I wear on my date tomorrow?! (with some pictures) [confused.jpg]
[Guys, I'm outta here, I need to chat with my girlfriend!]
Two minutes later, another message was sent:
It's so late, she's probably already asleep. I'll continue chatting with you guys!
[Red Envelope Rain] [Celebrating my single status!!!]
[Red Envelope Rain] 【Wishing us a love that lasts forever!!!】
…………
Shen Zechen hadn't checked his phone for a moment when Ding Jie sent dozens of messages in the group chat. Besides praising his girlfriend, recounting their sweet dating experiences, and showing off, Ding Jie also said he would treat them to dinner to formally introduce his girlfriend to them.
Shen Zechen never expected that the first of the four of them to find a partner would be Ding Jie, who planned to remain single for the rest of his life.
"You have a girlfriend now, and you're not planning to be a star anymore?" Shen Zechen couldn't help but send Ding Jie a message.
In the entertainment industry, many requirements stipulate that actors must be single. Shen Zechen had seen how much Ding Jie had suffered to become a star, and he always felt compelled to ask about it.
I've figured it out. My dream is to be an actor. I love acting, but I don't necessarily have to be a star.
We've already discussed it. After I graduate, we'll rent a place near Hengdian, do live streams together, and act in movies and TV shows. She even said she'd be my agent, which is perfect for my major.
Shen Zechen smiled and sent a blessing: Ding Jie is a down-to-earth and clear-headed person. He knows what he needs and will surely achieve success by taking one step at a time.
However, seeing Ding Jie constantly spamming the group chat with messages about red envelopes every seven or eight sentences, Shen Zechen shook his head helplessly. Oh well, even the most steadfast and clear-headed person can be childish at times.
In the dormitory, Ding Jie, who was excited, and the other two who couldn't sleep because of his noise, kept refreshing the group chat for most of the night.
It wasn't until Shen Zechen shouted, "If you're all so relaxed, then we'll continue training tomorrow," that the three of them finally quieted down.
Liu Zhenzhen treats her cat, Beibei, as family. After Beibei learns a new skill, she can't help but want to show it off.
She happened to have such a platform, and the next day during the live broadcast, Liu Zhenzhen couldn't wait to change Beibei's clothes and demonstrated addition and subtraction within five on the spot.
These kinds of pet shows are often filmed in short videos. Some are filmed with someone guiding the filming, while others are dubbed in post-production. Viewers just watch for entertainment and don't care whether it's real or fake.
But Beibei's is different; this is a live broadcast! Liu Zhenzhen even took a panoramic photo, and the questions were randomly selected by the system, making it even less like cheating, even though it was just numbers within five and addition and subtraction.
Beibei's golden fur seemed to emit a soft glow under the fill light. It sat obediently in front of the blackboard, and Liu Zhenzhen wrote the equations on the blackboard with chalk.
She bought the blackboard and chalk early in the morning from the stationery store. Beibei barked a few times according to the answer. Every time it answered correctly, Liu Zhenzhen would praise it loudly, and its big tail would wag behind it to express its happiness.
Why didn't Beibei bark when the answer was 1? Instead, it gestured with its paw. Was it writing?!
【Ugh, why is it that Beibei can go to kindergarten now, but my unfilial son is still just destroying the house?!】
[After "someone else's child can't compare," now we have "someone else's dog" to compare to.]
[How come he seems even smarter than my nephew who's in kindergarten? He even counts on his fingers to do math problems...]
………
The live stream was flooded with questions from viewers asking how she taught her dog to do math and requesting her to share her experience. After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhenzhen searched for a preschool teaching video in front of the viewers.
Shen Zechen had told her that it was like teaching kindergarten children, but Liu Zhenzhen felt that her skills were limited, so she found a shortcut.
When Liu Zhenzhen showed Beibei a tutorial video on recognizing numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, a group of fans in the live stream couldn't help but complain.
[Is this how the streamer teaches? Making Beibei self-taught by watching videos?]
Is it possible that this is a method of teaching children? Didn't the anchor notice that they needed to count on their fingers?
[It's a bit strange, but Beibei is watching so intently; could it actually understand it?]
………
Looking at the comments, Liu Zhenzhen explained, "I didn't teach Beibei math. The expert who taught it said it's like teaching a kindergarten child. It's very smart and learned it in just a few hours."
The comments section was flooded with even more messages, so Liu Zhenzhen had to pick out a few key questions to answer: "Of course it's not a training institution, it's the owner of a pet shop around here. I was on a date today, and Beibei followed me for a while, but suddenly refused to leave the shop entrance, so I asked the owner to take care of her for a bit."
She's a pet streamer, and most of her fans watch Beibei's videos. No one objects to her dating life; most people offer their blessings or tease her.
Occasionally, a few people would ask her boyfriend about his attitude towards Beibei, and Liu Zhenzhen would clearly tell them that he also liked pets.
The discussions in the live chat were varied, ranging from Beibei's intelligence level to the streamer's focus on romance over affection, and people started gossiping about her dating process.
Liu Zhenzhen didn't elaborate on this point, only saying that her boyfriend was a college student, and then ignored it.
Just as Beibei's lesson was over, she tried writing a 6.
Not only were fans curious about whether Beibei could understand the video and even learn from the tutorials, but Liu Zhenzhen herself was also curious.
Amid everyone's anticipation, Beibei first extended its left paw and pressed it down, then extended its right paw and made a "1". It took Liu Zhenzhen and the fans a while to realize that it was using a paw to represent "5".
A few more numbers were asked, and Beibei answered them all accurately. The live stream chat exploded. Some knowledgeable people left comments in the chat, saying that Beibei's reaction showed that it was not professionally trained.
No pet is trained to use a paw to represent five; instead, they prepare cards with the answer and have the pet fetch them.
If it wasn't professionally trained, then only a golden retriever like Beibei could be exceptionally intelligent!
Chinese people have a long-standing habit of bringing their relatives and friends along to watch the excitement. The people watching the live stream quickly called on their friends and family to come and see what was going on.
This dog can learn even from live instruction! Even a circus troupe wouldn't have such a smart animal!
In Liu Zhenzhen's live stream, the number of viewers doubled, and the number of people following her continued to grow. Even the pet snacks and toys hanging on her little yellow cart sold a lot.
The live stream video went viral online. When Liu Zhenzhen took Beibei out for a walk, they encountered two fans who greeted them and asked for photos.
The girls greeted Beibei the most and took photos with her. After a few questions were asked and Beibei answered them correctly, the two girls were so excited they almost jumped up.
She even went to the pet store and bought a big bag of dog treats for Beibei before happily waving goodbye and running away.
