My Classmate is 200 Million Years Old

Reverse-engineering the data was simpler than working towards an unknown answer with existing information.
Good news dawned very quickly.
The data Xuan Mo had patched was correct–this meant that there was another complete set of information of the weapons! The research outcome they’d spent hundreds of millions on, employed countless of people for, invested both in terms of time, human capacity and financial means in, that later was obtained by their professionals over one night, and then later completed by Xuan Mo within a matter of a few minutes! If country M caught wind of something like this happening, they’d have vomited three litres of blood violently.

While the professionals were pumped with the triumphant advancement, Xuan Mo suddenly stopped.

The reason was simple— after patching some of the data, Xuan Mo roughly knew how technologically advanced the most state-of-the-art weapons were, and that drained her interest.
Upon being disappointed, and on top of not having been able to learn computing, she figured it’d made more sense to just head home to cultivate instead of wasting her time away like this.

That however had Ah Gui and the various professionals at hand terrible anxious.
They didn’t understand how a delicate girl like Xuan Mo would look down on such an advanced weapon.
On the other hand, they were worried about the number of brain cells they’d need to kill to figure out the remaining parts of the data upon Xuan Mo’s strike.
As such, the bunch of ole men–including Ah Gui–circled Xuan Mo, anxious of get the final answer.

Xuan Mo found it too troublesome.
At that, she stood with a swoosh and headed out without a word more.

No one ran after her.
Instead, everyone turned their grievous gazes over to the three people that were still faking it, Da Bao, Lao Er and Ah San.

Perspiration immediately rained down their foreheads.
Though they weren’t from the same departments, even the three of their seniority stacked together would pale too far in comparison to that of a weapon researcher expert.
Not to mention, Xuan Mo’s performance had been too shocking; it was indeed a pity to let her go just like that.
And so, the three of them immediately ran after her to bootlick, asking after her well-being and giving their apologies.
It was only then did they manage to get the stinky-faced Xuan Mo back in front of the computer.

The few of them didn’t believe her knowledge of computers would be so poor initially.
It was only after multiple rounds of testing did they tragically discover that this girl really only knew how to open and close the webpage and some apps; she didn’t know anything else.

Xuan Mo’s computer knowledge was actually representative of the standard of the majority of the people, especially females, of her age.
It didn’t help much that these people have interacted with tons of geniuses around had long forgotten the standards of an average civilian.

And so, the three of them naturally had to start from the basics.

Xuan Mo was able to absorb the basics to advanced level of knowledge particularly quickly thanks to be incredible memory.
When it came to software support operation tools however, she started getting dazed.

The most foundational programming language used around the globe was English.
Though she scored an outstanding score during the English examination back in school, that was because she’d completely memorised all the English questions in the handbook, so she could do any questions without difficulty.

That didn’t mean that her level of proficiency in English was very high.

Perhaps she could pass level four or six with ease, but when it came to programming languages that were harder and more complicated, though she could have been great at this, she was ultimately still a layman.

“This won’t do.” Xuan Mo stood suddenly, cutting her learning off when she realised she was getting more and more confused, “I want to learn English.”

“What?” The three of them yelled, “we’re halfway through and you’re telling us you want to learn English!? Why don’t you just pick up Arab instead!”

Xuan Mo glared at them, and the three of them immediately wilted.
Da Bao ran over to the side and dialled in aggrievance for Ah Gui who was away working: “Ah Gui! That lil genius is too much! She’s the classic example of fickle-minded person who finds the grass greener on the other side! We’ve only went through the things to learn for barely half a day and she’s saying she wants to go over to the translation team instead!”

“What do you mean?” 

“She was learning fine, but then she suddenly brought up learning English.”

“Could it be because she found the programming language too difficult and she didn’t understand them?” 

“That’s not something learning English can solve though! I’ll say go back and memorise some C entries first if you don’t understand it, that’s how I got where I am today.
Why is it that she’s stuck at something like this!” Da Bao started wriggling, “I don’t care, BOSS! You sort this out for me, does she think we’re babysitters to give her what she wants?”

Ah Gui was silent for a moment before suddenly asking: “You were still a normal programmer even after you memorised the entries.
It was only after you returned from studying abroad did improve by leaps and bounds and became the third guy in our web team, have you ever thought how that happened?”

Da Bao paused.

“She’d only discovered the hack earlier than you.
With a foundation in English, memorising entries would just be a waste of time.
