111: Chapter 111 of the paper was published! The School of Information Science was shaken!

The next day, Friday.

For reliable Taiwan novels, trust the best.

Early in the morning, Beijing Forestry University was shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

Zhao Yang's lifestyle was terrifyingly disciplined.

He woke up at six and headed to a corner of the sports field to practice the Five Animal Frolics. As his physical fitness improved, his every move became increasingly fluid and integrated; the ferocity of the Tiger, the tranquility of the Deer, and the agility of the Ape were perfectly fused within him.

"Ding! Host has completed the Five Animal Frolics practice. Today's check-in successful!"

"Current task progress (91/100)."

Finishing his practice and exhaling, Zhao Yang glanced at the system panel. Only nine more days to go!

In nine days, he would finally be able to complete this task!

Zhao Yang nodded with satisfaction, went to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then headed to class.

The morning session was a general lecture on "Marxist Principles." In the lecture hall filled with hundreds of students, many were asleep, while the professor droned on from the textbook on stage.

Zhao Yang sat in the back row by the window, appearing to be daydreaming, but in reality, he was staring at his phone placed in the desk compartment.

On the screen was a text message he had just received in English.

【Citibank (Hong Kong): Your account ending in 8888 has received a deposit of USD 8,500,000.00...】

Eight point five million US dollars, it had arrived!

Immediately after, a message from Li Xun arrived, containing the account number, password, and the download link for the trading software for his us stocks account.

【Mr. Zhao, everything is set. This is a VIP institutional channel opened specifically for you, with extremely low trading latency. Additionally, the attachment contains a detailed explanation of us stocks trading rules. After all, us stocks differ significantly from A-shares; there are no price fluctuation limits, and it operates on a T+0 basis, making it extremely high-risk. Please be very careful when trading.】

Zhao Yang opened the attachment.

It was filled with dense English terms and rule explanations: circuit breaker mechanisms, short-selling rules, option leverage, pre-market and after-hours trading...

For an ordinary person, just understanding these rules would take half a day of head-scratching.

Of course, Zhao Yang possessed Stock Trading Mastery, and the system had already stuffed much of this knowledge into him; he just hadn't accessed it yet.

After familiarizing himself with it for about half an hour, Zhao Yang had already mastered the ins and outs of us stocks, understanding them even more thoroughly than traders who had spent years on Wall Street.

"It is currently ten in the morning Yanjing time, and the us stocks market hasn't opened yet."

The corners of Zhao Yang's mouth curled into a smile.

Right now, Apple (AAPL) has a post-split adjusted stock price of less than 3 USD, but in the near future, it will rise to hundreds of dollars!

Right now, Amazon (AMZN) has a stock price of just over 40 USD, but in the future, it will be a three-thousand-dollar giant!

And there's Netflix (NFLX), which has just started...

This isn't just a stock market; it's clearly gold scattered all over the ground, waiting for him to bend down and pick it up.

"Tonight, I start picking up money!"

Zhao Yang put away his phone and looked out the window.

Meanwhile.

Not far from the teaching building, at the School of Information Science and Technology, a super earthquake for Beijing Forestry University was brewing.

...

The Dean's office.

Dean Zhao Libo held his thermos, habitually browsing the official website of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).

As a well-known expert in the field of image processing in the country, maintaining sensitivity to cutting-edge academic trends was part of his professional standard.

"Hmm? Has the Early Access for this issue of TIP been updated?"

TIP, full name "IEEE Transactions on Image Processing," is a top-tier journal in the field of image processing and also a CCF-A category journal, carrying extremely high value. At Beijing Forestry University, if a Doctoral Student could publish a paper in TIP, they could directly apply for early graduation, and might even receive national scholarships until their hands went soft.

Zhao Libo scrolled with his mouse, feeling indifferent.

Suddenly, his finger froze.

In the center of the screen, a paper was highlighted in bold, and in front of the title, there was a golden five-pointed star label— "Editor's Choice"!

This was an extremely high honor! It meant that the editor-in-chief considered this paper to be the highest quality and most innovative article in this issue!

Usually, the authors of such articles were big-name teams from MIT, Stanford, or Tsinghua University.

Zhao Libo curiously glanced at the title:

"Group-Based Sparse Representation for Image Restoration."

"Sparse representation... group clustering..." Zhao Libo muttered to himself, a flash of brilliance in his eyes. "This entry point is quite tricky, combining non-local similarity? Interesting."

Subconsciously, he clicked on the author section, wanting to see whose masterpiece this was from the international big names.

The next second.

"Clang!"

The thermos in his hand dropped directly onto the mahogany desk, spilling scalding tea all over the table, but he didn't even bother to wipe it up.

He sprang up from his leather chair like a spring, his face almost pressed against the monitor, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen a ghost.

Author: Yang Zhao (Zhao Yang)

Affiliation: Beijing Forestry University

"Zhao... Zhao Yang?!"

"Beijing Forestry University?!"

Zhao Libo's voice changed pitch due to extreme shock, even cracking slightly.

As a dean who cherished talent as if his life depended on it, he was too sensitive to the name "Zhao Yang"!

Wasn't this that freshman from the School of Life Sciences?

Wasn't this the same Zhao Yang he had personally taken the vice president to the School of Life Sciences to poach, only to be rejected by him?

At the time, he only knew that he had talent in computer programming and had published a decent second-tier paper. Professor Lin Fusheng had even felt that his paper was a bit of a pity.

If polished well, it might have been able to be published in a first-tier journal.

But he never expected that he had been holding back such a huge ultimate move!

TIP!

And it was an Editor's Choice!

This was something many full professors couldn't publish in their entire lives!

"Quick! Call Professor Lin Fusheng over! And those professors from the image processing laboratory, call them all over! Immediately! Meeting!"

Zhao Libo roared at the secretary at the door, his eyes filled with excitement.

...

Ten minutes later.

In the small conference room of the School of Information, smoke billowed.

Several leading professors of the school were gathered around the projector, each with a solemn expression, as if they were studying some alien technology.

On the big screen was the full PDF of Zhao Yang's paper.

"Wonderful... absolutely wonderful!"

Professor Lin Fusheng pushed up his thick reading glasses and slapped the table in admiration. He was an authority in the field of sparse coding in the country, but at this moment, he was as excited as an elementary school student.
