Chapter 227 Zheng Qing’s Maximum Likelihood Estimate

When he first received the admission notice from First University, Zheng Qing didn't think too much and just regarded the 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 mysterious side knowledge since he was a child - although Zheng Qing always thought that he was learning the inheritance of a secret Taoist sect - this makes him more... The boy integrated into the wizarding world faster and more smoothly.

But as time went by, Zheng Qing slowly tasted a different taste.

For example, the professors at the college were a little too nice to him. Of course, this does not mean that the professors at the school have a hidden preference because of his status as a publicly funded student or a Merlin Medal winner, but a more direct preference - just like he can often consult Lao Yao on health issues, There are experienced divination professors who provide professional extracurricular tutoring, and even because of the headache, they can regularly get the transformation potion used to overcome the tribulation from the school.

To borrow a private comment from a teaching assistant, ‘Can this also be reimbursed? I never knew that the school bought health insurance for these poor kids... I'm afraid they went to a fake No. 1 university. ’

For another example, Mr. Wu, who had been teaching him talismans, seemed not as simple as he had always known. The most direct example is that on the eve of the school hunting party, after the young wizard fell into a coma due to the explosion of the two-dimensional laboratory and the return of the shadow, Mr. Wu was able to directly project into the campus of First University.

Regardless of the fact that the projection of Dharma books requires extremely high magical skills and powerful magical support, it is shocking that the projection can pass through the outer barrier of First University and enter the campus. You must know that this land is the place with the most powerful protective power in the entire wizarding world. There are countless ancient and advanced protective formations. Even if the great wizard comes in person, it will be difficult to pass through without alerting the school. That barrier, not to mention the freedom to come and go.

The mention of shadow is another thing that makes Zheng Qing feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially because for some unknown reason, his shadow finally provoked people from the relevant departments of First University to come forward. After entering school for such a long time, young public-funded students have seen a few markets and read a few books. But he had never heard others talk about it, or read more details about the forbidden curse in a book - until the relevant departments came to the door and took away the shadow that turned into a black cat.

Although Zheng Qing has been comforting himself by saying that the shadow may have learned relevant knowledge about forbidden spells in a two-dimensional world in the laboratory, he also knows how weak this excuse is. Therefore, when Senator Milton appeared in front of him in the Lower House that month, for a moment, he actually hoped that the Senator would take him away to see if he could bring out any darker shadow.

However, it is no surprise that Phuket is the Phuket Island with the first university after all. The last person to come forward in that incident was another senator from the Yuexia Council, not the professors from First University. Maybe the school doesn't plan to have a conflict with the Yuexia Council yet, or maybe they really don't care about a small shop run by students on a commercial street outside the school.

Zheng Qing didn't care and 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 his heart, allowing them to accumulate and slowly ferment.

Until the civet from Sanyou Bookstore suddenly appeared in D&K's store.

Until the fat mouse that had lived in his house for more than ten years suddenly appeared in front of him.

A certain fantasy that Zheng Qing had been trying to support suddenly collapsed.

He couldn't continue to lie to himself, saying that everything was safe and sound, that nothing happened, and that the situations he encountered were just coincidences.

Zheng Qing studied probability and statistics.

Assuming that the probability of an event A1 happening is related to parameter a, then the estimate of a should be able to maximize the probability of this event happening - this simple truth is called maximum likelihood estimation in professional terms.

Suppose further that from A1 to A100, there are a hundred unrelated things, and the probability of each thing happening is very small. The maximum likelihood estimate of everything is a. So although theoretically, A1 to A100 are still one hundred different functions, these functions all have a common term a.

Now, what Zheng Qing is facing is that a hundred things that were originally unrelated have happened, and he is the a among them.

"puff!"

Zheng Qing threw Remington in his arms into the snow in front of him.

"puff!"

He pulled out the Colt Python from behind again and threw it into the snow as well.

"Puff puff puff puff puff..."

The young government student was carrying his own gray cloth bag with the mouth of the bag facing down. He shook it vigorously and shook out all the large and small boxes and sundries originally contained in the bag, which fell to the floor with a sputtering sound.

Behind him, the young wizards of the Exoneration Hunting Team who were whispering stopped talking and looked at their captain uneasily.

In front of him, several rows of rats and wolves suddenly sprouted their back hair, looking nervously and curiously at the wizard opposite.

Fei Rui changed his position, held the round ears of the ferret under him, and leaned forward slightly.

"I don't have anything else to do for you here. You go back and inform the guys in the cabin first. Just say that there will be guests in the evening and prepare more hot tea."

"Fei Rui has lived in my house for a long time and is very familiar with it... I will chat with it a few more words."

While Zheng Qing was busy with the things at hand, he made arrangements to the rest of the Yuzui hunting team without looking back: "Elder, you and the gentleman go for a walk in the woods, be careful not to let the prey from other hunting areas jump to our side. Come on... Fatty, you and the doctor go back to the cabin first, tidy up and prepare to welcome the guests."

The cabin is a safe area set up by the hunting team on the edge of the Silent Forest. It can be regarded as a logistics base. The conditions for entertaining guests are much better than this cold forest. It does make sense for Zheng Qing to take the guests back to the cabin.

The hunters sitting behind him looked at each other and did not move immediately.

After a long time, Xiao Xiao slowly spoke:

"In this case... Elder, you and the gentleman should do as the captain says first. There is no patrol at the edge of the hunting area, which is really worrying. And Fatty, just go to the cabin and inform. Your watch is in the cabin, too. Just bring out something to entertain the guests."

"As for here, there's still me."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to stop Zheng Qing from continuing to speak. He waved his arm downwards forcefully and emphasized: "Let's do it."

Zheng Qing twitched his lips, but finally accepted the doctor's follow-up arrangements without any excuse.
