Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Chapter 105 Hard work pays off

After school starts, the graduation bell begins to ring in the hearts of students who are about to graduate. The pressure of graduation also flows in every corner of the campus, quietly enveloping the hearts of every senior student.

In order to complete their graduation thesis, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer threw themselves into intensive study and busyness. They were so busy almost every day that they were exhausted physically and mentally. Even the air around them seemed to be condensed with tension and anxiety.

After nearly a month of hard work, there is still no substantial result. It can be said that the revolution has not yet succeeded and comrades still need to work hard.

Look, Gu Fanxing, a girl with a firm and persistent heart, is frowning at this moment, and the pen in her hand is unconsciously moving on the notebook.

Her heart was tangled in a mess. "Choosing a topic for this paper is simply a nightmare. Sample size, research methods, theoretical framework, every link is a headache."

Ling Jiuer, who was standing beside him, also had confusion in her bright eyes. Her long, smooth hair was casually tied behind her head, looking a little messy.

She thought to herself: "What kind of topic can both meet academic standards and be innovative and have research value?"

"Xingxing, this thesis topic is really terrible. I feel like my head is going to explode!" Ling Jiuer was the first to break the silence, with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Gu Fanxing raised his head and replied with a wry smile: "Who said it wasn't true, Jiuer. It feels like the common topics in our major have been thoroughly studied by our predecessors. It's harder than climbing to the sky to find a new and valuable topic."

The two looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and fell into their own thoughts again.

Gu Fanxing casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf next to him and flipped through it quickly, hoping to find some inspiration from it.

However, as she flipped through the books one after another, her expression became more and more disappointed. "The things in these books are too old-fashioned, and they can't provide new ideas for our topics." She slammed the book shut and threw it on the table, feeling frustrated.

Ling Jiuer was also busy. She listed possible topics one after another in her notebook, but she quickly crossed them out after writing each one. "Xingxing, what do you think about studying the impact of social media on interpersonal relationships?" Ling Jiuer asked tentatively.

Gu Fanxing shook his head. "This topic is too common. I guess countless people have written similar papers. It's hard to make new breakthroughs. From the perspective of empirical research, the relevant data may have been over-exploited, making it difficult to draw new conclusions."

Ling Jiuer bit her lip and continued, "How about studying the marketing strategies of e-commerce platforms?"

Gu Fanxing still denied it: "Although this field is popular, the data and cases involved are too many and too complicated. It is difficult for us to conduct in-depth research within a limited time.

Moreover, from the perspective of consumer behavior and marketing theory, this topic requires deep professional knowledge and a lot of market research, which is difficult for us to handle with our current capabilities.”

Time slipped away quietly as the two of them struggled and hesitated. The sun outside the window gradually set, and the number of people in the library began to decrease. However, they still had no idea about their topic.

Gu Fanxing looked at the messy books and notes in front of him unwillingly, but his heart was filled with worry and confusion about the unknown topic.

After returning to the dormitory, Gu Fanxing tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

She turned on her cell phone and searched online for suggestions on various paper topics. The more she looked, the more confused she became.

"Is it really impossible to find a suitable topic?" she kept asking herself in her heart.

The next day, the two came to the library early again.

This time, they decided to change their thinking and look for inspiration from the latest academic journals.

"Xingxing, take a look at this research on the application of virtual reality technology in the field of education. It seems interesting." Ling Jiuer said excitedly.

Gu Fanxing leaned over to take a look, thought for a moment and said, "It is a bit innovative, but the technology is not mature enough, and the research data is not sufficient, so it will be difficult to write. From the perspective of educational technology, this field is not yet mature and lacks systematic theoretical support."

Ling Jiuer's eyes dimmed again.

Just when they were about to despair, Gu Fanxing suddenly saw an article about virtual idols in an inconspicuous magazine. "Jiuer, look at this!" There was a hint of surprise in her voice, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

Ling Jiuer looked over quickly. The two of them read the article carefully and found that although the field of virtual idols has attracted a certain amount of attention, there is still a lack of in-depth and systematic research on its impact on young people's values.

"How about this topic?" Gu Fanxing's eyes sparkled as he began to think about the framework and direction of the research.

Ling Jiuer hesitated for a moment: "It feels quite novel, but very challenging. Can we do it? I'm really unsure. This involves knowledge from multiple fields such as communication and psychology. We need to conduct interdisciplinary research, which is too difficult."

Gu Fanxing said firmly: "How do we know if it works if we don't try? I think this topic has a lot of research space and practical significance. As long as we use research methods reasonably, such as questionnaires, in-depth interviews and case analysis, we should be able to gain something."

Ling Jiuer was infected by Gu Fanxing's determination and nodded: "Okay, then let's choose this one!"

Hard work pays off, and they finally decided on the topic of the paper.

However, when they told other classmates about this topic, they were met with doubts and opposition.

“Virtual idol? That’s too biased. Information in this new field is hard to find. Don’t regret it when you can’t write it.” Student A said disdainfully.

"I think you should change to a more reliable topic instead of being so fanciful." Classmate B also poured cold water on the students.

The comments and criticism from their classmates made them feel very uncomfortable, but they did not waver.

When they told their instructor about this initial idea, they were also questioned by the teacher.

“The field of virtual idols is indeed relatively new, but you have to consider the difficulty and feasibility of the research.

The reliability of the data and the universality of the research results are issues that need to be carefully considered." The teacher said seriously.

Gu Fanxing plucked up the courage to say, "Teacher, we know this topic is difficult, but according to our survey, the current virtual idol market is growing rapidly, reaching several billion yuan last year, and is expected to grow at a rate of 10% in the next few years. However, there are very few studies on the impact of virtual idols on teenagers' values.

We believe this is a topic worth exploring in depth, and it would be very meaningful if our research could provide some valuable references for this field.”

Ling Jiuer then added: "Teacher, we have developed a detailed research plan and are preparing to conduct in-depth investigations in the form of questionnaires and in-depth interviews to ensure the reliability and representativeness of the data."

The teacher looked at their determined eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Well, since you are so determined, I will support you. But you must be fully prepared and communicate with me in time if you encounter any problems."

The two felt relieved to receive the teacher's recognition, but at the same time they also felt unprecedented pressure.

In the following days, they began to research more deeply about virtual idols and teenage values, and found that the topic was far more complicated than they had imagined.

But they both firmly believed that as long as they persisted, they would be able to overcome this problem and draw valuable conclusions.

After hard work, they finally had a clearer idea and direction for this topic, which also laid the foundation for subsequent research.
