Chapter 3

Li Yi made a rough estimation.

He discovered that the time ratio of the library to the outside world was about 10 to 1. In other words, after ten days in the library, only one day would have passed in the outside world.

The content stored in every bookshelf was divided into mathematics, physics, biology, history, fiction… It was all-encompassing.

For some reason, Li Yi could understand the alien words used in the books. Moreover, his memory had also become very good, so it was not difficult for him to absorb this knowledge.

Not only had this mysterious black tattoo given him a “library”, but it had also modified his brain?

Li Yi was pleasantly surprised.

Li Yi found a “Multi-Calculation Method Principle” and read it in depth.

Li Yi was a third-year computer science student at the MiddleUniversity. This “Multi-Calculation Method Principles” suited his major and was just right for him to study.

Inside the book, there were many computer algorithms, such as the sorting algorithm, the graph theory algorithm, the backtracking algorithm, the character matching algorithm, the flow-related algorithm… and so on. They were all different algorithms with different characteristics and targeted different things. The multi-calculation law was suitable for the development of intelligent programs and for the calculation of many elements.

…

After an unknown period of time, Li Yi flipped through the entire “Multi-Calculation Method Principle” in one go and easily absorbed the various knowledge points of this multi-Calculation method.

Throughout the learning process, he had not been disturbed. He was energetic and tireless. It was very easy for him to be immersed. He focused on learning. The learning process was many times easier than in class, and his understanding of various knowledge points was also much deeper.

In reality, Li Yi opened his eyes and woke up.

He picked up the phone by the bed and looked at the time.

It had only been half an hour and his roommates had not returned.

Li Yi thought about it seriously and recalled. Various core knowledge of the multi-calculation method appeared in his mind very clearly.

In just half an hour, he had learned a complicated algorithm. This efficiency was unbelievable.

Li Yi was overjoyed and continued to enter the “library” to read new books.

“Old Li, wake up. It’s time to get up and eat!” Zhang Haitao woke Li Yi up by the bed.

Li Yi woke up. His roommates were all back. He took out his phone to check the time.

It was already one in the afternoon.

Li Yi got out of bed and washed up.

After sending the money to Zhang Haitao with his phone, Li Yi began to eat. After eating, he lay on the bed and continued to enter the “library”.

Seeing Li Yi lying on the bed and sleeping again, Zhang Haitao and the others looked at each other and were very surprised.

“Damn! Old Li is sleeping again! This guy has been asleep for more than ten hours today. Will there be a problem?!” Lin Hang said worriedly.

“There’s definitely something wrong. When he wakes up, get him to go to the hospital for a checkup!” Zhang Haitao frowned and sighed.

The three of them no longer paid attention to Li Yi. They coded programs and read books and did their own things.

Time passed in a flash, and three to four hours passed.

Li Yi rolled over and sat up, stretching comfortably. His head was heavy and he was not as energetic as when he had just woken up.

He had been learning new knowledge for “dozens of hours” in a row. They were all new programming languages, new algorithms, and professional knowledge in computing. Li Yi felt that his brain power was exhausted and could not continue doing this any longer. He needed to rest.

“Old Li, you’re finally awake. If you didn’t wake up, we would have carried you to the hospital!” Zhang Haitao turned around and said worriedly.

Li Yi was shocked and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?! Aren’t I fine?”

“You slept for more than ten hours in a row. We were afraid that you would end up dying in your sleep.” Lin Hang smiled and explained.

Li Yi smiled and hurriedly explained, “I’m fine. I’m just a little sleepy. There’s nothing wrong with my body.”

“Old Li, you should find the time to go to the hospital for a checkup! If there’s any hidden illness, it’ll be better if you get treated early.” Zhang Haitao reminded with concern.

Li Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry and hurriedly consoled, “I’m really not sick. I know what’s going on. Don’t worry for nothing.”

With that said, Li Yi rolled off the bed and went to the toilet. Then, he walked to the computer table, opened his notebook, opened the experiment program, and began to experiment.

Li Yi placed his hands on the keyboard, and a dense keyboard sound sounded.

In less than half an hour, Li Yi finished his computer science homework.

After learning several special algorithms and new programming languages, Li Yi had a deeper understanding of algorithmic logic and the structure of programming languages.

After learning a high-level secret manual and looking at the current professional knowledge, the difficulty level was now several levels lower, making the originally rather difficult programming homework very simple. In the past, it would take him a few hours to complete the programming experiment homework. However, Li Yi spent less than half an hour and easily obtained it.

After finishing the programming experiment, Li Yi was still not satisfied. He opened the programming development tool—Visual Studio Code and planned to try coding a small tool himself.

The sound of keyboard typing was as dense as rain.

Zhang Haitao, Lin Hang, and Liu Wenfeng were all shocked.

Soon, the three of them walked behind Li Yi and surrounded him.

On the screen, lines of code kept appearing, gradually forming complicated programs.

Zhang Haitao and the others were collectively dumbfounded. Li Yi had written the program in C++. However, they could not understand the content he wrote.

“Old Li, what are you coding?!” Lin Hang could not help but ask.

“I’m making a small tool to add a library for the new algorithm.” Li Yi smiled and explained.

“A new algorithm? What new algorithm? Can’t you just download Python’s library online?” Lin Hang was slightly stunned and was even more puzzled.

Programming languages like C++ and Python only provide some basic libraries. They do not include everything. New algorithms, special functions, and so on need to be added. They can only rely on introducing third-party libraries.

The new algorithms he had learned from the “library” were things that human civilization did not have. Therefore, in order to use these special algorithms, Li Yi needed to compile a small tool to store these new algorithms.

Li Yi smiled and casually found an excuse, “It’s nothing. I was just playing around. I only made this tool out of boredom.”

“Damn! You’re really free. Have you finished your programming homework?” Zhang Haitao scolded jokingly.

“Yes, I’ve long finished it!” Li Yi did not turn around and replied with a smile.

“So fast? Not bad, Old Li! I coded for the entire afternoon and kept getting stuck! Can you help me take a look?” Zhang Haitao was shocked and hurriedly requested.

“Me too. My code can’t pass the test either. I don’t know what’s wrong.” Liu Wenfeng had an aggrieved expression as he requested.

Li Yi didn’t mind helping the both of them. After all, if he needed to help one of them, he might as well help both.

Li Yi nodded decisively and replied with a smile, “Alright, give them all to me!”

Hearing this, Zhang Haitao and Liu Wenfeng hurriedly went to get their notebooks. Then, they showed Li Yi the code programs of the experiment.
