Chapter 38 Divergent Thinking

When the results were announced the next day, Wu Bin naturally did not reach the average score of the class. After all, he had only read half of the contents of his sophomore year of high school. No matter how good he was, he could not understand things he had never seen before.

But Yu Xuguang didn't really ask him to commit a penalty, but just called him into the office.

"The penalty for copying is just a little joke for you. I have read your paper, and the answer rate and accuracy rate are far beyond my expectations. It has only been a week since the last monthly exam, and most of them you estimated We’re still competing in physics, so when did you absorb this knowledge?”

"I will read in chemistry class and after I go back to the dormitory."

"That's all?"

"Well, that's it."

"Alas!" Yu Xuguang sighed angrily after hearing this, "Why aren't you interested in chemistry first?"

"Huh?" Wu Bin looked confused.

"If you are interested in chemistry first, I will definitely register you for the chemistry competition."

At this time, a female teacher sitting diagonally opposite couldn't help shouting after hearing this: "Teacher Yu, you are praising him too much."

She is Shen Huiping, the chemistry teacher of Class 1. She is 56 years old and is considered a very experienced teacher.

"Hi! Teacher Shen, do you think I'm the kind of person who shoots without aim? This guy is really good."

"Hey, Teacher Yu, I'm really familiar with what you said. Teacher Cai also liked to say this about him before." Lu Gang, who had just walked into the office at this time, also interjected.

"Recently, I've been listening to you all in the office praising how smart this little boy is. Come on, come on, Teacher Yu, tell me, what is his ability?"

"I just read the textbook for a few days, and I have memorized most of the contents of the first and second grades of high school, and my understanding is not bad. Do you think this is a skill?"

‘Wow… Teacher, you really spare no effort when playing. ’

Wu Bin, who was standing aside, blushed when he heard such compliments, although in general he was right.

"Hey, it sounds like he is a little genius, so why did he show up in his third year of high school?" Shen Huiping nodded and asked.

"I still want to ask him. The freshman and sophomore in high school are just dreaming, otherwise they would have gotten several recommended places." When this topic was brought up, all Wu Bin's teachers looked like they hated iron.

Lu Gang took a sip of tea and nodded: "That's true. If nothing else, just based on this kid's physics talent, there are many schools that are robbing him."

Listening to the two teachers taking turns bragging about themselves, Wu Bin felt a little embarrassed, so he said to Xuguang: "Teacher Yu, if nothing happens, I will go back to the classroom and continue studying."

"I'm complimenting you. Why are you running away?" Yu Xuguang laughed, "Okay, I'll keep saying the same thing. Don't think about it alone. The teacher will be waiting for you in the office during lunch break."

"Okay, thank you, teacher." Wu Bin left the office after saying that.

Back in the classroom, Wu Bin glanced at Zhou Bo before returning to his seat and found that he was writing furiously for punishment.

This made Wu Bin couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look. It was a little joke between the teacher and him, but he became the only victim. How sad.

"Task [Basic Operation] Completed."

"Get 200 mission experience points."

"Task evaluation: excellent"

"Get additional rewards: Divergent thinking ability +1"

"The host level is upgraded to LV4 and 1 talent point is obtained."

As soon as Wu Bin sat down, the system's sound suddenly rang.

‘Maybe it’s because my paper score came out. ’

Wu Bin, who probably thought of the reason, started to look at the reward this time.

Upgrades and talent points were naturally expected, but this additional reward made Wu Bin find it very interesting.

Divergent thinking is also called radiating thinking, radiating thinking, diffusion thinking or different thinking. It actually expresses the same meaning, which is to have multiple ideas about a thing, which is the so-called open mind.

If abstract thinking is a tool for learning, then divergent thinking is a tool for solving problems and innovating.

To sum up briefly, Wu Bin can think of several benefits of divergent thinking, such as the ability to quickly generate multiple opinions or solutions to one thing. This is especially prominent when solving science problems. Some people can figure out the problem just by looking at the problem. There are several solutions, just because their divergent thinking is very powerful.

In addition, people with strong divergent thinking also have the ability to imagine or solve multiple problems at the same time, that is, standard generalists. In the workplace, such people are generally the core and soul of the team.

There is also innovation. People with divergent thinking can’t stop their imaginations from opening up, and they often come up with various ideas or things that most people would never think of.

Innovation is actually the most important point in divergent thinking. The advancement of the times depends on it. Steam engines, electricity, airplanes, and communication equipment were all not whimsical in the past, but they were all realized in the end.

However, if some people with strong divergent thinking do not use this ability on the right path, it will actually be a headache.

For example, the most well-known type of divergent thinking is actually "leverage"

To give a random example, if there are ten birds in a tree, someone shoots and kills one, and how many are left? I believe most people have heard this question.

An honest person will answer that there are nine left, and a wise person will answer that there is not one left.

But "Gong Jing" will bring a new experience to the question takers.

For example, he would first ask "Is it a silent pistol?"

The questioner answered: "No."

"How loud was that gunfire?"

"80 decibels to 100 decibels."

"Okay, are there any deaf birds in the tree?"

"No."

"Is there anyone in a cage?"

"No……"

"Are there any disabled birds that can't fly or are too hungry to fly?"

"No!"

"Is the one who was beaten to death pregnant? If pregnant, does the one in its belly count?"

"No!!"

"Would that kill two with one shot?"

"No, get out!"

…

Look, this is actually a kind of divergent thinking. Of course, you can also say that he is logically rigorous, but Wu Bin guarantees that if one day someone with such rigorous logic comes to analyze a problem with him, he will definitely do it directly without BB.

The previous abstract thinking +3 did give Wu Bin a more obvious feeling and improvement, so he is particularly looking forward to this divergent thinking, although it is only +1

In addition, there are some talent points gained from upgrading. Wu Bin is going to invest them in chemistry, because he has indeed become very interested in chemistry now.

Opening the chemistry column in the talent tree, Wu Bin began to study the talents in the first row.

[Lord of Flame: According to the color of the flame, you can quickly analyze the burning elements in it]

[Alchemy Madman: The chance of success when performing experimental operations is slightly increased]

[Lord of Chicken-like Things: Strengthen the understanding of the transformation between organic matter (at the same time, lighting up the [Lord of Chicken-less Things] talent can strengthen the understanding of the relationship between various substances)]

[The Master of Chickenless Things: Strengthen the understanding of simple substances to compounds, and from physical properties to chemical properties. (At the same time, lighting up the [Lord of Chickens] talent can enhance your understanding of the relationship between various substances)]

‘System… you are getting more and more naughty. ’ I didn’t look carefully when I looked at it last time, and I didn’t expect that the names of talents in chemistry are so weird, especially organic and inorganic substances. Not only are the names weird, but the descriptions of their effects are even weirder.

The system did not give any response to Wu Bin's complaints.

Wu Bin, who had long been accustomed to it, naturally didn't care and began to analyze which one he should order.

[Lord of Flame] This talent looks good at first glance. There are definitely not a few people who fail in the color of flames in the chemistry exam.

But this talent only relies on color to quickly analyze the combustion elements. I always feel that the scope of the function is a bit small. You must know that many things burn with the same color. There is no difference between full analysis and no analysis. It just reduces the scope slightly. That's all, I guess it needs to be a little higher to have good results.

[Alchemy Madman] is a very good talent, but I feel that it will only be useful when doing difficult experiments in the future, such as the production of new drugs or polymer experiments. After all, high school experiments are just childish. The standard answer is It's right there, and it's easy to succeed as long as you follow the steps.

So what's left are the two masters of robots. Both talent effects are very helpful for learning. After all, these two robots can be said to run through the entire high school knowledge.

'But I feel a bit disadvantaged if I can't light them up at the same time...'

Seeing the effect of that "suit", Wu Bin, who is a bit obsessive-compulsive, was very sad.

"Oh, forget it, let's light up the inorganic objects first. After the midterm exam and completing the next task, I should be able to level up again."

After clicking the talent, Wu Bin sighed, and quickly took out the chemistry book for his sophomore year in high school and read it, so that he could quickly forget about the "suit effect"

…

In the next few days, Wu Bin did keep running to Yu Xuguang's office during lunch break.

Because some of Yu Xuguang's problem-solving methods and understanding ideas really helped him.

During lunch break on Saturday, Wu Bin was preparing to go to Yu Xuguang's office as usual, but he happened to meet Liu Yushan when he was leaving the classroom.

"Hello, Teacher Liu." Wu Bin immediately stopped and said hello.

"Yes." Liu Yushan nodded and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Teacher Yu and ask him a few chemistry questions."

"It seems like you haven't come to study math much lately. Are you good at it?"

"That's not true. It's just that I have to get my scores in other subjects online first, otherwise the teacher won't let me participate in the physics competition."

"Oh~ I see." Liu Yushan nodded, "Well, I helped you sort out a few sets of papers. When you finish studying other subjects, come to me in the office. I will help you talk about it. It should improve you."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Liu, shall I go first?"

"Well, go ahead." Liu Yushan nodded.

"Goodbye, Teacher Liu."

After Wu Bin finished speaking, he walked towards the stairs.

Looking at Wu Bin's back, Liu Yushan sighed softly. Thinking of Cai Guoping's behavior in the past two days, he couldn't help but mutter: "This kid is obviously interested in mathematics first."
