“Hey, how did we end up in the computer science department!” The three of them unknowingly found themselves in the place where they used to attend classes.

“Talk about taking a stroll down memory lane, and we end up in the most familiar place! Well, let’s go check out some other places!” Li Yang couldn’t help but feel a bit amazed that even after graduating for several years, the muscle memory was still there.

“Since we’re already here, why not go inside and reminisce about our old class days?”

“Sounds good, let’s go!”

The three of them entered the building, and maybe because it was just past noon, there were hardly any people in the classrooms. They wandered around based on their own memories. The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to N0vel..Bjn.

“Hey, isn’t that Octopus Bro? Where’s he in such a hurry to?

They saw Zhang Yu, with his head down in deep thought, but his feet were moving swiftly. In no time, he had reached the group of people.

“Octopus Bro, why are you in such a hurry? You’re not paying attention to your surroundings!” Li Yang and Zhang Yu almost collided with each other.

“Oh, it’s you guys. Remember that project the department gave us earlier? We’re at the final stage now, but there’s a problem. I’m going to check what’s going on!”

“Octopus Bro, mind if we tag along and see what’s happening? We’ll just be spectators and won’t meddle,” Li Yang, looking for some excitement, suggested he and his friends join Zhang Yu to witness the situation.

After some thought, Zhang Yu didn’t think it was a highly classified matter, so he agreed to Li Yang’s request.

“All right, you guys can come with me, but just observe, don’t say anything, and definitely no taking pictures. Is that clear?”

“No problem!” Both Zhou Chao and Li Yang assured, and Zhang Yu nodded.

“Let’s go!” With that, Zhang Yu led the group toward the laboratory.

“Zhou Chao, can you really solve it?”

Before Zhou Chao could respond, Li Yang chimed in, “He can definitely do it.

He only took a quick look and already identified the problem with your project!”

“It’s impossible. You guys have been here for less than 10 minutes. How could you possibly understand the results of our hard work for the past half month?” One of the men who had previously interacted with Zhang Yu wore an expression of complete disbelief as he looked at Zhou Chao’s group.

After a considerable period of silence, Zhou Chao, looking at Zhang Yu’s hopeful expression, nodded.

“Your project is really good, especially the idea is excellent. It’s just that you haven’t thought about some issues, which is why you can’t complete the final step – integration.”

“What exactly caused it?”

“Lack of coordination leads to the inability to merge with each other, resulting in your inability to combine. Although each individual part looks good when taken separately, it’s different when you try to put them together.”

A thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind. He quickly returned to his chair, and Octopus Bro’s fingers danced on the keyboard.

The room was filled with the sound of the keyboard and their collective breath, and after about 10 minutes, Zhang Yu entered the final line of code. The code on the large screen seemed to meld together as if guided by a mysterious force. Everyone held their breath, and soon the verification was complete.

“Yeah! We did it!” When everyone saw the final result, they happily embraced each other. Li Yang and Zhou Chao couldn’t help feeling a bit envious.

“Zhou Chao, thank you! If it weren’t for your suggestion, we might not have known when we would have completed this project!” Zhang Yu looked at Zhou Chao and his companion with a smile.

“Octopus bro, don’t mention it. It was just a small issue! But there are still many areas in your project that need improvement. If you can address all the loopholes, 1 believe this project will bring unexpected rewards.” Zhou Chao briefly shared his thoughts, leaving it to them whether they would take his advice to heart.

“Well, 1 understand. It’s already past 1:30 PM. Aren’t you guys going to the alumni association event?”

Suddenly, Zhou Chao and Li Yang became aware that a significant amount of time had elapsed, and there was now less than half an hour remaining before the afternoon alumni association event. They still had enough time to make it there.

“Octopus Bro, we’ll take our leave then!” Zhou Chao said and then pulled Li Yang as they headed towards the exit. But they hadn’t taken many steps before they heard a chorus of voices from behind them.

“Thank you, senior, for guiding us through the maze!”
