Chapter 227: Zheng Qing's Greatest Likelihood Estimate
When he first received the admission letter from the first university, Zheng Qing didn't think too much about it, but just regarded this opportunity as Harry Potter-style luck.
It's just that compared to the boy with the scar on his forehead, he has received a lot of mystical knowledge since he was a child—although Zheng Qing always thought that he was learning the inheritance of a certain secret Taoist sect—which allowed him to integrate into the wizarding world faster and smoother than that boy.
But as time passed, Zheng Qing slowly chewed out a hint of a different taste.
For example, the professors of the college were a little too good to him. Of course, this is not to say that the professors at the school have a vague preference because of his status as a public scholarship student or Merlin Medal recipient, but it is a more direct favoritism - just like he can often consult Lao Yao about health problems, he can have a senior divination professor for professional extracurricular tutoring, and even because of his head illness, he can regularly get the transformation potion used in the catastrophe from the school.
To borrow a private complaint from a teaching assistant, 'This can also be reimbursed?' I never knew that the school had bought health insurance for these poor children...... I'm afraid I went to a fake first university. ’
For another example, Mr. Wu, who has been teaching him talismans, does not seem to be as simple as he has always known. The most direct example is that on the eve of the school hunt, after the young male witch fell into a coma due to the impact of the explosion of the two-dimensional laboratory and the return of the shadow, Mr. Wu was able to directly project into the campus of the First University.
Regardless of the fact that the projection book requires extremely high magic skills and strong magical support, it is a shocking thing that that projection alone can pass through the outer barrier of First University and enter the campus. You must know that this land is the most powerful place in the entire wizarding world, and all kinds of ancient and advanced guardian circles are dense and countless, even if the great wizard comes in person, it is difficult to pass through that barrier without alarming the school, let alone coming and going freely.
And mentioning the shadow is another thing that makes Zheng Qing's heart a little uncomfortable.
Especially for some reason, his shadow finally provoked people from the relevant departments of First University to come forward. After entering the school for such a long time, the young public-funded students have more or less seen some markets and read a few books. But he had never heard anyone talk about it, or read more about the forbidden spell in a book—until the authorities came to the door and took the shadow that turned into a black cat away.
Although Zheng Qing had been comforting himself with the fact that the shadow might have learned about forbidden spells in some two-dimensional world in the laboratory, he also knew how reluctant this excuse was. So, when the Lords of the Lower Council of the Moon appeared in front of him, for a moment, he actually hoped that the Lords would take him away to see if he could pull out any darker shadows.
However, it is not surprising that Phuket is the No. 1 university in Phuket after all. In the end of that incident, it was another member of the Moonless Council who came forward, not the professors of the First University. Maybe the school didn't plan to have a conflict with the Moon Council, or maybe they really didn't care about a small shop run by students on a shopping street outside the school.
Zheng Qing didn't care, and he didn't have much thought to figure it out.
Because he also knows that if no one tells him about this kind of thing, he will never find the real reason. He could only accumulate these anomalies in the bottom of his heart, and let them accumulate more and more, slowly fermenting.
Until the yellow civet from the Sanyou Book House suddenly appeared in D&K's shop.
Until the fat mouse who had lived in his house for more than ten years suddenly appeared in front of him.
A fantasy that Zheng Qing had been trying to support collapsed.
He had no way to continue to lie to himself, saying that everything was fine, that everything was fine, that nothing had happened, and that all these situations he had encountered were just coincidences.
Zheng Qing studied probability and statistics.
Assuming that the probability of an event A1 occurring is related to parameter a, then the estimation of a should be able to maximize the probability of this event occurring—a simple principle called maximum likelihood estimation in technical terms.
Suppose that from A1 to A100, there are 100 unrelated things, and the probability of each thing happening is very small. The maximum likelihood estimate for everything is a. So although theoretically, A1 to A100 are still a hundred different functions, but these functions all have a common term a.
Now, Zheng Qing is facing a hundred things that were not very related to each other have happened, and he is one of them.
"Poof!"
Zheng Qing threw Remington in his arms into the snow in front of him.
"Poof!"
He pulled out the Colt python from behind him and threw it in the snow as well.
"Puff puff puff ......"
The young public scholarship student carried his gray cloth bag, the mouth of the bag was facing down, and he shook it vigorously, shaking off the large and small boxes and sundries that were originally packed in the bag, and fell to the ground in an uproar.
Behind him, the young wizards of the Sin Hunting Team who had been whispering stopped talking and looked at their captain uneasily.
In front of him, the rat wolves lined up in rows suddenly blew up their backs, and looked nervously and curiously at the wizard opposite.
Fei Rui changed his posture, leaned forward slightly by holding the round ears of the ferret under him.
"There's nothing to do with you here, so go back and inform the guys in the cabin first, and say that there will be guests in the evening, and prepare a little more hot tea. ”
"Fei Rui has lived in my house for a long time and knows each other well...... I'll talk to it again. ”
While Zheng Qing was busy with the matter at hand, he didn't look back and arranged to the rest of the Sin Hunting Team: "Elder, you go to the forest with the gentleman, and be careful not to let the prey from other hunting areas jump to our side...... Fatty, you and the doctor go back to the cabin first, pack up, and get ready to welcome the guests. ”
The cabin is a safe area set up by the hunting team on the edge of the Silent Forest, which can be regarded as a logistics base, and the conditions for entertaining guests are much better than in the cold forest. Zheng Qing took the guests back to the cabin, which really made sense.
The hunters sitting behind him looked at each other and didn't move immediately.
After a long time, Xiao Xiao slowly spoke:
"In that case...... Elder, you and the gentleman do what the captain says. The lack of patrols at the edge of the hunting area is really reassuring. And the fat man, you just go to the cabin to inform, your watch is in the cabin, and you can take out something to entertain the guests yourself. ”
"As for here, there's me. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to stop Zheng Qing's intention to continue talking, and waved his arm down vigorously, emphasizing: "That's it." ”
Zheng Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, and finally accepted the doctor's follow-up arrangement without justification.
