Chapter 271 What can you do in half a month?

The cicadas are particularly noisy in July.

But it is the most profound sound memory of summer.

Summer vacation always goes by quickly, especially the first half of the month.

Even if you want to roll, you have to give yourself some space to rest first.

Chatting with my parents at home, going out with classmates to play ball and eat some desserts, staying at home with a fan on to play games, and chatting with friends on QQ...

The dormitory group of 403 still discusses what Li Yan is doing, but there is no longer the strong sense of urgency as before.

You can compete with the strong. The more you compete, the more motivated you will be, and the more confident you will be.

But you can’t compare yourself with God. The more you compare, the more you’ll feel like garbage, and you’ll be kicked out sooner or later.

In just one year, Li Yan has grown from a "special athlete" to someone they long for.

The terrifying thing is that it is still improving at a high speed.

The scope of his aura of "invincible in the same age group" is constantly expanding.

The mentality of the group of 403 kids gradually changed from "surpassing Li Yan" at the beginning to "admiring Li Yan".

Once they stopped comparing themselves with the gods, they regained a little bit of their "genius" mentality.

Liang Tiancheng became more confident. After all, he was the second in the grade and was a sure thing, which was still very impressive no matter what.

Others also reaffirmed their own value.

Although you cannot afford to get full marks in all subjects, getting first place in a single subject is more cost-effective.

Chen Fan, who chose to give himself a week to completely relax at home, also slowly adjusted his mentality.

"Obviously, I am also a genius."

On July 7, Chen Fan returned to New Taipei No. 15 Middle School with a mixture of reluctance to leave the holiday and anticipation for the competition.

However, Li Yan was not in the dormitory.

Not only was he not there, there wasn't even a quilt on his bed.

In an instant, Chen Fan thought of something not so good.

He sent a message to Li Yan: Li Yan, do you live outside?
After a long while, Li Yan replied: Yes, how did you know?

Chen Fan sighed deeply: I won’t bother you anymore.

Then I received a call from Li Yan: "Chen Fan, did you misunderstand something?"

"Ah? Aren't you at Senior's house?"

……

Li Yan returned to the dormitory and looked at Chen Fan speechlessly.

Chen Fan's eyes wandered, "Who knew you had another house outside?"

"It's not mine, it's Lin Zhiyuan's."

"Same, as long as you can stay. Didn't you really look for a senior?"

"I see that all of you have brains full of yellow garbage. You are very dangerous!"

Chen Fan shrugged, "I'm the only one here, and I asked you if you played with your 'good friend', how come it became pornographic trash? Li Yan, what are you thinking, my God!"

Too childish.

Li Yan didn't bother to pay attention. She sat in her seat with dark circles under her eyes and turned on the computer.

"It's rare to see you with dark circles under your eyes. I can't imagine what you've been doing for the past fifteen days." Chen Fan took a deep breath, "Do you know that you're famous now?"

"I know." "You saw the newspaper, too?"

"I saw it." Li Yan yawned again, "But too many people came to me, it annoyed me."

"I envy you." Chen Fan said sincerely.

"Even the education bureau leaders in my hometown called me to congratulate me. People who didn't know me thought I had become the top scorer in the college entrance examination."

"In a sense, I think your performance is more impressive than the top scorer... There should be reporters from newspapers or even TV stations who want to interview you, right?"

"Yes, but I told them that I was going to attend the training of the National Youth Xin Athletics Team, and I'll talk to them when I come back."

“…Did they understand?”

"Don't underestimate reporters. They know a lot." Li Yan added in his heart:
But there is still no way to understand the full picture of Li.

"So," Chen Fan looked like he wasn't going to review today, "What did you do in the past fifteen days? Released a record to become a star? Won the first prize for New Concept Composition? Saved hundreds of thousands of words of online writing? Or drew an amazing painting?"

"I'm ashamed. I'm still not satisfied with the record yet. I have to wait until I'm done with the exams. The deadline for New Concept Essays is the end of July. I just wrote one two days ago and submitted it, but I'm not very satisfied with it. I only have 16 words saved for the online article, and there are 10 words in it from the previous draft. I've just done the base color for the painting, and it's been hanging there for a while."

Chen Fan couldn't believe it, "You didn't lie to me?"

“Every word is true.”

It turns out that even someone like Li Yan would be lazy in the early days of the holiday.

"It looks like you are tired." Chen Fan always felt something was weird, so he stood up and walked behind him, looked at the computer that Li Yan was operating, and then said "Fuck" from the bottom of his heart.

It was loud, sharp, shocking, and confusing.

On it is a map and light spots moving in real time, with time and distance marked on the light spots.

In the upper left corner of the map are the pending orders ABCDE, and on the right is the order dispatch status, including route determination, time estimation, etc.

Obviously, this is an order allocation system.

Chen Fan didn't even know where to start for a moment.

"It's just a very unfinished product." Li Yan opened the chat box and explained to Li Kai the content that needed to be improved later.

Chen Fan suddenly saw in the chat box that Li Kai was giving feedback on "today's data usage".

"Has Brother Kai already used it?"

"Correct."

Chen Fan was puzzled. "No, how can this be applied? Is the data correct?"

"Yes, didn't we give Li Kai money to collect data last time?"

"What about the map?"

"I made it myself." Li Yan answered Chen Fan while communicating with Li Kai, "Anyway, it's just the area around the school. Knowing the location, route, and distance, it's easy to make a simplified map. I only need businesses and dormitories."

"Then...how do I use it?"

"When Li Kai's website receives an order, it is entered into my system. The system automatically assigns the task, and Li Kai directly notifies the specific delivery person to pick up the food." Li Yan explained, "The system also gives the delivery person the route and estimated time for delivery. Since I can't use GPS positioning here, I can only use a fixed speed to move the light dot representing the delivery person."

Chen Fan looked at the light spots moving at a constant speed on the computer screen and nodded.

"Then as the number of orders input by Li Kai increases and exceeds the number of delivery personnel, the system will allocate them according to certain principles based on the simulated delivery personnel positions. At present, I have given Li Kai a lot of customization authority, including the delivery time limit for each meal, the merchant's meal delivery time limit, and the delivery personnel's delivery time limit. He can formulate and collect corresponding data. Those that exceed the time limit are 'red orders'. Recently, we have been collecting this data to see how to optimize it."

"A certain principle?" Chen Fan had already gotten into the state, "You are talking about an algorithm."

"Yes, the order distribution algorithm." Li Yan nodded. "In short, everything starts from demand. Users want to eat earlier, merchants want to deliver meals quickly, and deliverymen want to avoid unnecessary detours. Everyone pursues 'speed'. So the core is to save time and get on the way. At present, this system can dispatch orders to riders on the way in a timely manner, which can be regarded as the optimal solution for most of them."

"Ah...you call this a semi-finished product?"
