Chapter 30

During the new book period, I, Weiyu Qianxiao, am seeking all kinds of support. Every click, every collection, and every recommendation vote is very important! Don't forget to cast your recommendation votes while reading! Additionally, there are only two updates today.

It was past two in the morning, and Tian Tian had already finished explaining all the knowledge she could impart. Faced with Chen Mo's terrifying learning speed, Tian Tian was thoroughly convinced.

Seeing the fatigue on her face, Chen Mo said, "Sister Tian, you should go back and rest. I'll take care of the video editing."

Tian Tian had gone to such great lengths to learn some techniques from Chen Mo and naturally didn't want to leave just like that. Hearing this, she mustered her energy and said, "It's fine, I can still hold on. You go ahead and work, I'll just watch from the side."

Chen Mo, unaware of Tian Tian's thoughts, nodded at her insistence and said, "Alright, if you get tired, there's a reclining chair over there. You can rest on it."

Tian Tian smiled and nodded. Then Chen Mo began to write the video software he had conceived.

At first, Tian Tian tried to stay focused, but after less than ten minutes, she couldn't suppress her drowsiness. She didn't even use the reclining chair Chen Mo mentioned; she fell asleep directly on the counter.

Chen Mo was so engrossed in programming that he didn't notice Tian Tian had fallen asleep. His expression was very focused, sometimes tapping the keyboard, sometimes pausing to think slightly. As time passed, Chen Mo's expression became increasingly serious, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

It wasn't until the sky outside was faintly bright that Chen Mo's expression remained serious. He muttered to himself, "It turns out programming isn't that easy..."

Tian Tian, who was sound asleep, was woken up by Chen Mo's voice. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, saying, "What's wrong...?"

Chen Mo turned his head and sighed, "I've run into some problems."

Tian Tian put on her glasses and asked, "What kind of problems? Why don't we discuss them together?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I want the program to be able to create animations directly, so we don't have to find and edit video materials. But I can't figure out how to do it. Sister Tian, can you give me some advice?"

Tian Tian came over and carefully examined the part of the code Chen Mo had already written. The more she looked, the more puzzled she became. After finishing, she muttered, "Master Chen, what exactly did you write? I can't understand it at all."

Chen Mo was taken aback and said, "That can't be. You can't understand this?"

Tian Tian nodded and said, "I really can't understand it. The code you wrote is too strange, and the order of the code is completely different from what I usually see..."

Chen Mo looked at Tian Tian and said in a deep voice, "Sister Tian, didn't you tell me yesterday that the simpler the code, the better, and the more concise the software, the better? So I used the most basic code as the foundation of the programming. To minimize the size of the software, I used a new code arrangement method. If you can't understand it, did I make a mistake in my thinking?"

Tian Tian was taken aback and then pointed to the half-finished software on the screen, asking, "Can these codes work normally?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise why would I put in so much effort to program like this?"

Tian Tian looked at Chen Mo in amazement and said, "Master Chen, what kind of brain do you have? You can actually invent a new programming language?!"

Chen Mo was stunned and then asked curiously, "Is that hard?"

Tian Tian had an expression of "this is not just hard" and said, "Of course it's hard! How can I explain this to you? Just know that it's extremely difficult!"

Chen Mo, seeing Tian Tian's extremely excited expression, couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Tian, you don't have to be so excited, do you?"

Tian Tian couldn't sit still. She stood up and paced back and forth, muttering to herself, "This is the first time someone in the country has created a new programming language. If the media finds out, it will likely cause a major earthquake in the domestic computer technology field!"

Tian Tian then turned to Chen Mo and said, "Master Chen, it's a waste for you to work as a helper in this small shop. Why don't you go work at my father's company? With my recommendation, the待遇 will definitely be generous! Do you want to go?"

Chen Mo, who didn't expect Tian Tian to try to recruit him for her father's company, hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, "Not now. I'm not even sixteen yet, and I'm not old enough to work. Besides, I still have to go to school."

In fact, Chen Mo thought to himself: Working is so restrictive. Making money isn't that hard for me now. If I run out of money, I can just go to the arcade and sweep it clean. Is it worth tying myself down for a fixed salary every month?

Tian Tian, hearing that Chen Mo still had to go to school, hesitated and said, "You still have to go to school?? Didn't you drop out of school to work because you couldn't afford it?"

Chen Mo chuckled and said, "Of course not. I just graduated from junior high school this year. Out of interest in computers, I used the summer vacation to work and learn here—by the way, I don't get paid for working here, it's purely out of interest."

Tian Tian had never met such a person before. She was taken aback and then sighed, "If I had been as diligent as you when I was young, I would have gone abroad to study long ago. Unfortunately... I didn't even get into MIT!"

Chen Mo, who had always lived in a small place and knew nothing about MIT, asked curiously, "What is MIT? Is it hard to get into?"

Tian Tian, seeing Chen Mo's curious expression, couldn't help but laugh, "MIT is a university, the top-ranked university in the world for science and engineering! Especially their computer science department, which is among the best globally! My dream is to study in the computer science department of this university. Even though I'm already a teacher, I still study every day, hoping to pass the graduate school entrance exam of MIT. Alas... I've tried for two years, but I always get eliminated in the interview stage. The interviewers are very tough, and the questions they ask are all over the place, making it impossible to answer."

Chen Mo found this quite amusing. In his view, Tian Tian's computer skills were rather ordinary. The foreigners weren't fools; they knew the drawbacks of China's exam-oriented education. Without some special ideas, how could they possibly admit you?

Of course, Chen Mo couldn't say these things to Tian Tian. He just smiled and said, "So that's what MIT is. Sister Tian, don't be discouraged. Keep working hard, and there's always hope."

Chen Mo's words were lukewarm, sounding like encouragement but actually just a way to placate her.

Tian Tian, who had failed twice, knew she wasn't cut out for it. Hearing this, she laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Well, I've already come to terms with it. As long as you have good skills, it doesn't matter where you are. For example, you, just a helper in a computer specialty store, are actually better than me. This shows that where you learn isn't important; what matters is having the heart to study hard. Master Chen, why don't I become your disciple? You can teach me your skills, and I'll pay you tuition!"
