Chapter 62 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 26) Shen Zechen...
Shen Zechen stroked Bai Xue's long ears and then rubbed its soft, dense fur. The little ball of fur that used to be the size of a palm has grown so much.
He picked up the rabbit, placed it on the table, and murmured reluctantly, "Bai Xue, who should I entrust you to? There aren't any rabbit enthusiasts around here."
"You're so fat, what if someone doesn't keep an eye on you and you get caught and turned into a spicy rabbit head?"
As Shen Zechen spoke, he sighed, which startled Bai Xue so much that her ears drooped. In the end, Zhao He'an couldn't bear to watch any longer and directly cleaned up the rabbit cage and feed for him, saying:
"Let's take Bai Xue with us for now. If we can't keep her later, we'll send her to Director Zhou and have him feed her in his office. No one will dare to cook her for you then."
Director Zhou was unaware that he had been tricked into being a rabbit. He was inspecting Shen Zechen's dormitory, a two-bedroom apartment of over 80 square meters on the third floor, with a separate wet and dry bathroom and both bedrooms facing the sun.
The room was fully furnished with furniture and appliances, though not brand new, but clearly hadn't been used much. The bed sheets and blankets were all new, and even the small kitchen was fully stocked with oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Despite all this, Director Zhou kept complaining that his little one was being treated unfairly.
Wu Zhen was getting a headache from his nagging. Luckily, there were plenty of empty rooms, so he opened the doors to the two single rooms next door. "Director Zhou, these two rooms are for the two guards. Don't worry, our canteen here is famous for its delicious food."
When Shen Zechen was escorted there by a team of special police officers, he realized that the place he was going to stay was not unfamiliar. There were even a few old acquaintances and familiar dogs there.
To his utter surprise, the place he was sent to was not the secret base he had imagined, nor the stronghold of some special forces, but the police dog training camp next to the Ministry of Information.
However, compared to what I imagined—a life where you might have to register and report even to make a phone call, and your internet access would be subject to data control—it's definitely more comfortable to live in a police dog training camp!
Thinking of Zhuifeng and its friends, Shen Zechen couldn't help but look out the window, but after looking for a while, he didn't see a single dog.
“They’re all running around on the back hill. I’ll take you to see them later.” Wu Zhen’s eyes lit up when he saw Shen Zechen.
Even though he's been told this person's true identity, it doesn't stop him from wanting to snatch them. Even if it's unlikely he'll succeed, he can always think about it!
The difference between people is truly vast. How can one person possess two completely unrelated talents and skills, both of which are highly developed? It's such a waste that they can't fully utilize their abilities.
Shen Zechen was able to come here thanks to the file information he had registered at the police dog training base by chance.
The Information Department is a secret department, and the files are top secret. Due to Wu Zhen's unspoken motives, Shen Zechen's employment file from the training camp was not deleted, so it was perfectly natural for him to live here.
Even if someone finds out that Shen Zechen, a top student in the computer science department, has mysteriously disappeared, it won't be a big problem. A little investigation will reveal that besides being good at his major courses, Shen Zechen also owns a very successful pet shop and is extremely skilled at training cats and dogs.
Although Shen Zechen's "instructor" software was relatively difficult to crack, it was ultimately just a small program for supervising learning and training, and it didn't cause much of a stir.
Based on this superficial information, they probably wouldn't find it strange that Shen Zechen left in a hurry to go to the police dog training base.
Shen Zechen had no objection to the two-bedroom apartment that was assigned to him. After tidying up his things a bit, he couldn't wait to run off.
Director Zhou watched as Shen Zechen greeted him and then slipped away to play with the police dogs. He couldn't help but rub his own bald head and then nag Wu Zhen for a while longer.
The gist of it is that Shen Zechen is an invaluable talent in their Information Department, a pillar of the nation, a beacon of hope, and the future of the entire Information Department. Anyone who tries to persuade him to switch jobs is a sinner for all time.
Anyway, he couldn't bear to nag his own child, and since Wu Zhen happened to be right there, he was the perfect substitute.
Wu Zhen's head was buzzing from Zhou's nagging, and he finally wrote a guarantee that he would never kidnap anyone again, thus getting through this ordeal.
Watching Director Zhou carefully fold the guarantee and put it in his pocket, Wu Zhen secretly rolled his eyes. Even without the guarantee, could he really kidnap the person?
At most, you could have someone do part-time work, doing both jobs at the same time. It would be great if they could run around with the police dogs every day, which would be good exercise and could also prevent occupational diseases.
Shen Zechen was having so much fun at the training base that he forgot all about home. Even though the information department was just a few steps away, he was too lazy to go back and continued to work remotely using his own computer.
Sitting in the office being stared at like a mascot by colleagues is nothing compared to the comfort of holding a laptop, basking in the sun, and taking a nap with the wind.
Director Zhou's trip wasn't entirely fruitless; before leaving, he carried a pet carrier in one hand and a pile of pet supplies in the other, so he did manage to make some gains.
After all, it's not really appropriate for a rabbit to stay in a police dog camp full of dogs, surrounded by the smell of predators, living in constant fear.
Zhou Ju's flowers and plants suffered again. Bai Xue looked innocent and cute, but she had already learned to be cunning. She cleverly chose inconspicuous places to gnaw on, and only took one bite from each flowerpot every day.
It wasn't until more than half a month later that Bai Xue's behavior was discovered. Looking at his increasingly sparse potted plant leaves, Director Zhou angrily called Shen Zechen to complain.
"Xiao Ze, you have time to train other people's dogs, why can't you come and control your rabbit? If it keeps chewing on my potted plants, I'm going to put it in its doghouse!"
Shen Zechen, who had moved in more than half a month ago, finally agreed to take a walk around his department and, while he was at it, discipline his little pet. After making sure that Bai Xue would not be naughty anymore, he went back to hiding next door.
Anyway, he's currently in a special protection period, so he can openly slack off with pay. Even his boss can't say anything; at most, he can just use his own rabbit as an excuse to call him over for a quick fix.
Shen Zechen was thriving at the police dog base. Perhaps it was because his cheat system had been upgraded, but even without using any skills, the new dogs still liked him very much.
He has a magical attraction to animals, especially the more than one hundred police dogs in the entire base. Every single one of them loves to play with him and is well-behaved and obedient.
Wu Zhen was extremely envious of Shen Zechen's physique and even joked that he must have been the chief disciple of the Beast Taming Sect in his past life.
With Zhui Feng watching from the side, the other police dogs didn't dare to approach. At most, they would come over to Chen Zechen while Zhui Feng was eating and drinking, wag their tails, and rub against him affectionately.
When he has free time, Shen Zechen will also learn some proper training methods from Wu Zhen, and then take a walk and do some exercises with Zhui Feng. Of course, given his lazy nature, Zhui Feng will definitely have to give in to him.
Wu Zhen was overjoyed to be able to teach Shen Zechen as a trainer, and he imparted all his skills to him. However, after only a week, he had nothing left to teach.
Shen Zechen was truly an exceptional student who could grasp the concepts after just one listen, and every dog he brought along to train was happy and excited, their cooperation and effort reaching unprecedented levels.
Dogs: No one can embarrass our boss!
Wu Zhen's teachings were quite effective. Shen Zechen mastered the training and taming techniques, and when he used the taming technique on the dog, the taming level was already up to level seven.
He could also sense that to continue improving to the next level, it wouldn't be as simple as just grinding proficiency. However, it was enough for now, as the taming time for a level 7 pet was a full six months.
While Shen Zechen was busy, he naturally wouldn't let Lin You be idle. Anyway, there were plenty of suitable jobs in the Information Department for her to practice on. He even reported to Director Zhou that he had an apprentice who couldn't show her face.
It's not surprising that people don't want to show their faces on the dark web; Director Zhou even thoughtfully gave him an extra position and a salary card.
It's a pity for Lin You. Her limited time to appear in real life is taken up by work. But it's true that you can learn more in practice than in theory. She can now understand many details that she didn't quite understand when reading books.
Seeing that Lin You was still a little depressed, Shen Zechen comforted her: "Look at you, you only work half an hour a day, but you get the same salary as others who work a whole day. Not to mention meal allowances and bonuses, you also have a permanent job. Isn't that amazing?"
Lin You rolled her eyes at him. He said it sounded nice, but these things were completely useless to her. Although she was complaining in her heart, Lin You couldn't suppress the upturn of her lips.
She has a government-affiliated position! Her older sisters would be so happy if they knew she had one.
After hearing her remain silent for a while, Shen Zechen had no choice but to make another offer: "Anyway, I don't have much to do right now. Just tell me what you want to buy or look at, and I'll handle it for you."
Lin You happily hummed in agreement. Hearing her voice, which didn't sound like she had any negative emotions at all, Shen Zechen felt like he had been set up.
Oh well, it's not much trouble anyway, and he does have the time, so let's just treat it as playing with his little sister.
Shen Zechen had no idea what the future held for him. With a bunch of majestic, domineering, and obedient furry companions by his side every day, he was in an exceptionally pleasant mood.
After no longer needing to go to school or run a shop, Shen Zechen's work efficiency skyrocketed, and his little hobby of helping people leave work early also flourished.
Apart from the staff who take turns on duty every day, no one else in the entire information department works overtime until 10 p.m.
Staying up late often can lower immunity and even increase the risk of sudden death. After Lin You told him about the plot, Shen Zechen has been paying close attention to his colleagues' health.
In the tea room next to the office, there was a large bag of goji berries that Shen Zechen had specially bought. He also set up a mini-program on his office computer to remind everyone to drink water every two hours.
The people in the information department naturally condoned Shen Zechen's behavior; who wouldn't like a thoughtful suggestion from a child?
Since Shen Zechen came to the Information Department, their health has indeed improved a lot. They are no longer under pressure at work, and they work overtime much less often. Their complexion has visibly improved.
Because he was afraid his younger sister would worry, Shen Zechen didn't tell her the whole reason. He only said that he had outstanding grades and had found a job ahead of schedule in a public institution with a permanent position. He was currently on an urgent mission and couldn't go back for a while.
During the phone call, Shen Shumeng said very considerately, "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You should also take care of your health."
After hanging up the phone, the little girl couldn't help but feel disappointed. She had seen her brother almost every day for the past few months, and now that they were suddenly separated, she was really not used to it.
Gu Jin, who was standing nearby, also heard the news. She was secretly delighted to finally get rid of the giant third wheel, but also worried about how to cheer up the sad Mengmeng.
Just as he was trying to suppress the upturned corners of his lips, crossed out the third date plan in his mind, and started to think about the fourth plan, Shen Shumeng's phone suddenly rang with a notification sound.
Her brother transferred a seven-figure sum of money to her bank card, marked as living expenses, and she immediately received a message with a spending guide specifically for Mengmeng.
The news falls into two categories: one is about food and drink, such as which restaurant has a good dish, which dessert shop has delicious pastries, and which brand of snacks is the best, etc.
One is about clothing: which brand of clothes is the most fashionable and innovative, which brand of bags is the most popular, and where to find a wide variety of accessories that can be customized, etc.
Her brother added that since their circumstances are limited, they should make sure she eats and dresses well first, and then buy her a car and a house when they earn more money.
Make sure she's happy, I'll take care of all her needs, and make sure she doesn't get snatched away by some rascal.
In addition, there is a lottery mini-program where you can try something you've never done before each week.
Gu Jin watched as the girl, who had just been feeling down, was so easily cheered up by her brother's few text messages. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a little heartbroken.
This senior really didn't give him even the slightest chance.
Seeing Mengmeng happily drawing lots with her best friend Yunshu to see where to go for the weekend, Gu Jin hurriedly went over and offered to be their driver and bag carrier.
Following the clues drawn by the lottery, Shen Shumeng began to try things she had never done before.
She drank her first cup of coffee, a latte recommended by Gu Jin. It had a rich and mellow taste, slightly bitter with a sweet aftertaste. It wasn't bad, but she didn't particularly like it either.
She also went to a bar she had never been to before, and ordered a sweet wine with Yun Shu. She watched others dance wildly to the music, but had no intention of joining in herself.
She tried learning to paint, using just a few simple colors to create a beautiful and dreamy picture. Although her brushstrokes were a bit immature, they made her very happy, and she decided to continue learning.
As Shen Shumeng constantly tries new things, her temperament is also quietly changing. The inferiority and timidity caused by the shadows of her childhood have largely dissipated without her realizing it.
Gu Jin stayed by her side the whole time and had a deeper understanding of these changes. He guided her subtly and helped Shen Shumeng break free from her shackles, watching her become more and more dazzling.
Unbeknownst to Gu Jin, his little actions were discovered by Lin You, who had come to see Shen Shumeng. After Shen Zechen found out, he remained silent for a long time before finally reluctantly agreeing to accept his brother-in-law.
With his younger sister's future looking promising, Shen Zechen felt much relieved. He then turned his attention to Lin You, since he had called her "brother" for so long, she was naturally his sister as well.
He couldn't participate in Lin You's future. All he could do was watch her learn more and help her get double points and treasure chests after completing the cheat mission.
With the system's helpful prompts, Shen Zechen could clearly observe his assistant's work.
Each of the furry creatures they tame has the same duration as their own, and a level nine taming skill cannot be stacked to increase the duration.
The Golden Retriever always goes out with its owner, following a fixed route. It doesn't get to interact with many other furry creatures, and can only help train three or five each day.
Orange the orange cat is much more formidable. I don't know how many fights it has fought, but on its best day, it tamed twenty-eight furry creatures.
The two of them combined are much more efficient than when Shen Zechen opened his own shop, since he had to attend classes back then and could only open the shop all day on weekends.
Based on this data, it's quite possible that the player will be able to accumulate 10,000 gold coins in a year.
Shen Zechen sighed inwardly, already starting to plan how many courses he would arrange for Lin You this year.
After working for half an hour, Lin You returned home to find herself inexplicably given extra homework. Shen Zechen had gone so far as to make her learn the Beast Taming Technique. How could a system like her possibly...?
Okay, she actually managed to learn it!
The scene felt strangely familiar. Lin You thought for a while and finally remembered—wasn't this exactly how Chu Zaizai had made her learn the skill book back then?!
They both seem to have the same idea of taking advantage of a golden opportunity as Chu Nanfeng. If these two met, they would probably immediately burn incense and kowtow to each other to become sworn brothers!
After helping Lin You learn a new skill and doubling the duration of her programming lessons, Shen Zechen's mood finally returned to its usual pleasant state.
Although Lin You's personality is somewhat simple, she still managed to outperform 99% of the candidates nationwide in the college entrance examination, which shows that she has her own set of study methods.
With one-on-one tutoring from Shen Zechen and hands-on practice, Lin You finally graduated from her programming studies after half a year.
In Shen Zechen's words, although he was far inferior to him, he was already on par with Xiao Wang, the worst in the technical department.
Unaware that he had barely passed, Xiao Wang discovered a particularly tragic thing: Shen Zechen was no longer helping him with his work.
Although he should indeed do his own work, and it's understandable that Shen Zechen wouldn't help, the other colleagues in the information department still receive Shen Zechen's help every day.
Wang Aimin became the only one left out, and he was so depressed that he was completely dejected. After being treated differently by his idol for three days in a row, he even wanted to go next door to ask Shen Zechen if he had done something wrong. Finally, he had a new little helper.
The person who helped was Shen Zechen's unseen apprentice. With Shen Zechen's guarantee, Lin You could still access some less core secrets even without showing her face. After dealing with trivial matters for half a year, she was finally able to do some more challenging tasks.
After Shen Zechen consulted with Director Zhou, her new job became working with Wang Aimin, trying to get him to leave work early.
At first, Wang Aimin would leave work an hour later than his colleagues. However, as Lin You became more proficient in his work under Shen Zechen's guidance, his departure time gradually started to come earlier.
