Chapter 215: Returning with Honors
Voices of shock could be heard everywhere on the Kyoto University campus.
Especially in the Department of Mathematics dormitories, every room erupted with cries of disbelief.
Those capable of getting into Kyoto University were certainly no ordinary students; they all possessed a degree of pride.
But when they heard this news, one phrase surfaced in their minds.
Absolutely badass.
Wu Xiaowei, Chen Gang, and Sun Yi had just returned to the dormitory building from surfing the internet when they heard the deafening cheers.
What’s the situation?
Could it be that China’s CS team won a championship?
That’s impossible; there shouldn’t be any matches lately, right?
The three of them looked at each other with faces full of confusion.
When they reached their dormitory door,
the three saw that quite a crowd had already gathered there.
"What’s going on here?"
Wu Xiaowei asked curiously, "Brothers, what are you all doing crowding around here?"
They were very worried that Ye Chen might have caused some trouble and provoked public anger.
A boy looked at Wu Xiaowei as if he were an alien: "Don’t you know what happened?"
"I don’t. We just came out of the internet cafe and then found the Department of Mathematics dorms exploding."
That boy gave Wu Xiaowei a look of contempt.
Seeing the boy’s contemptuous gaze, Sun Yi and Chen Gang deliberately distanced themselves from Wu Xiaowei to avoid being looked down upon as well.
The two used their actions to tell everyone they didn’t know him.
"Ye Chen from our school solved Goldbachs Conjecture; it was just on the Huaxia News. I heard Ye Chen lives in Dorm 303, so we wanted to see what this legendary figure looks like, but it seems no one is in their room."
The guy with glasses glanced at Wu Xiaowei and asked, "Brother, which dorm are you from?"
Wu Xiaowei didn’t answer the boy’s question. At this moment, not just Wu Xiaowei, but Chen Gang and Sun Yi were all equally stunned.
While they were spending every day at the internet cafe playing games, Ye Chen had already solved Goldbachs Conjecture.
The three of them were completely dumbfounded.
Even though they were all freshmen, this was way too demoralizing.
As students in the Department of Mathematics, they all understood Goldbachs Conjecture.
Something that many scientists couldn’t achieve—to think Ye Chen actually did it.
Is this for real?
This is too unscientific!
...At this moment, the Economics girls’ dormitory didn’t have such a massive reaction.
In the girls’ dorm, aside from Xia Yingluo, the other girls’ eyes were wide with shock.
What’s the situation?
Ye Chen cracked Goldbachs Conjecture?
This... although Xia Yingluo had known for a while, seeing the news on television was still somewhat shocking.
At this time, Zhao Wenchao looked up with difficulty, gazed at Xia Yingluo, and said, "Yingluo, do you have any more of these god-tier Boyfriends? I want one too."
Hearing Zhao Wenchao’s words, the other girls in the dorm couldn’t help but laugh.
"I didn’t expect our cold and elegant Wenchao to have a moment of infatuation too."
"Right, I think you being Ye Chen’s secret lover would work just fine."
The other two girls in the dorm teased.
Zhao Wenchao’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Really? Actually, I don’t mind being the mistress."
Xia Yingluo felt a bit awkward in her heart.
You probably wouldn’t be the third wheel, you’d be the fourth.
At this time, the other two girls also laughed: "Yingluo, we want to be Ye Chen’s secret lovers too."
Xia Yingluo said speechlessly: "Alright, that’s enough from you guys."
"Ye Chen is mine, you can stop thinking about it."
Xia Yingluo immediately declared her sovereignty to her other roommates.
The girls couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Xia Yingluo’s words.
In fact, they were just joking just now.
However, upon hearing this, Zhao Wenchao’s eyes clearly flickered, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
At Kyoto Film Academy, Li Sitong watched the reports about Ye Chen, a glint of brilliance shining in her eyes.
Her Boyfriend was just this outstanding; he would shine no matter where he went.
After thinking for a moment, Li Sitong sent a message to Ye Chen via WeChat: "Chenchen, congratulations."
Ye Chen replied: "I’m so outstanding, shouldn’t there be a reward? Can a pajama show be arranged tonight?"
Li Sitong was speechless at the familiar perverted vibe and immediately replied.
"In your dreams. You haven’t come to see me for so many days, I’m angry."
Ye Chen felt very wronged; he was currently in the Department of Mathematics every day for academic discussions and had to accept interviews—he was too busy... Meanwhile, this news also caused a huge sensation internationally.
In Country M, at a Department of Mathematics.
Professor Dodd looked at the reports with a grim expression.
"How is it possible? How could a Chinese person solve Goldbachs Conjecture? Could it be fake?"
"Unlikely. Mathematics is a very rigorous discipline; since they dared to announce it, they must have performed the verifications," Associate Professor Kate said.
"Send someone to China immediately. We must find out exactly who this Ye Chen is. If possible, it’s best to poach him to Country M and have him work for us." Dodd took a deep breath.
Kate nodded: "Yes, I’ll go right away."
All over the world, Ye Chen cracking Goldbachs Conjecture caused an earthquake in the mathematical community.
Many countries sent experts to China to investigate the truth.
And domestically, the impact of Ye Chen cracking Goldbachs Conjecture continued to expand.
Numerous TV stations clamored to interview Ye Chen. In just these few days, Ye Chen had accepted interviews from seven or eight media outlets.
While being interviewed, Ye Chen didn’t forget to advertise his Hot Pot Restaurant.
Not only that, even the literary giant on the Jiang University honor wall, who was hailed as a titan in China, specifically posted on a social media platform to praise his young alumnus.
Consequently, the sensational effect doubled again.
Many celebrities also liked the posts to ride the wave of popularity.
Ye Chen’s name had already exploded across the entire country.
Along with Ye Chen’s fame, his Hot Pot Restaurant also became popular.
When Ye Chen was interviewed, he never forgot to advertise the Hot Pot Restaurant.
At the Hot Pot Restaurant, Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo both came to help.
Because of Ye Chen’s advertising, the Hot Pot Restaurant’s business got better and better.
Most of the customers were parents bringing their children.
They said they wanted to soak up some of the good fortune from a Mathematicians’s Hot Pot Restaurant.
When settling the accounts at night, Song Yuyu jumped up happily.
"Yingluo, our daily turnover has already exceeded fifty thousand!"
Over the past few days, the advertisements filmed by Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo had been playing on a loop on the large screens of major Commercial Streets across China.
Combined with the advertising effect of Ye Chen’s interviews, the Hot Pot Restaurant became more and more popular... In the room.
Ye Chen had been exhausted from constant interviews over the last few days.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the investment target’s pride reward: Divine-level Observation.]
Hearing this skill, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.
Ye Chen clicked on the skill description, and after reading it, the surprise on his face vanished.
[Divine-level Observation: Allows the host’s microscopic abilities to reach a terrifying level, even surpassing ordinary microscopes.]
What the hell kind of skill is this?
Although the name sounds badass—God-level—this skill seems very useless.
[Host, since it is a God-level skill, it is naturally a super skill. In certain fields, it will help the host achieve results far beyond imagination.]
Hearing Ye Chen’s complaint, the system actually gave a very human-like explanation.
Certain fields?
Ye Chen was stunned and asked curiously, "Exactly which fields are those?"
"These require the host to explore independently."
The system’s cold voice echoed in his mind.
Finally, Ye Chen finished his interviews and academic exchange activities at the Department of Mathematics and could return to school.
Ye Chen was very happy upon hearing the news of returning to school.
After all, being at the Department of Mathematics these past few days meant he hadn’t seen Xia Yingluo or Li Sitong for several days.
A private car brought Ye Chen and Li Tongming back to Kyoto University together.
At this time, Xia Yingluo should be in class.
Ye Chen got out of the car and ran straight to the Department of Economics.
Old Man Xia of the Department of Economics was lecturing, but he saw Ye Chen at the door.
Old Man Xia stopped his lecture.
In fact, Old Man Xia was also very shocked that Ye Chen had achieved such great results at such a young age.
After all, even at Kyoto University, Li Tongming was the only top-tier mathematician in the Department of Mathematics; even Xiao He wasn’t one.
As a freshman, Ye Chen had truly done something remarkable.
Old Man Xia said with a smile, "Oh, our Kyoto University’s hero is back."
At that moment, the eyes of all the students in the Classroom turned toward Ye Chen.
Thunderous applause erupted.
Xia Yingluo looked at Ye Chen with eyes as soft as water.
Zhao Wenchao looked at Ye Chen with a complex feeling in her eyes.
In these few days, news about Ye Chen had spread throughout all of Kyoto University.
Many students’ palms were already numb from clapping, yet they still had no intention of stopping.
Although Kyoto University students were full of pride and believed they were the best, rarely admiring others,
they were, after all, elites from various schools and the most outstanding.
Even if they weren’t the absolute best in a new environment, they would work hard to become so.
However, Ye Chen was an exception.
In their eyes, Ye Chen was already a genius existence.
Just the fact that Ye Chen solved Goldbachs Conjecture was a height they could never reach in their lifetimes.
One must know that for hundreds of years, countless Mathematicians had worked tirelessly hoping to crack this conjecture, only to fail.
But now, it was directly cracked by Ye Chen; it was simply unbelievable.
Regarding Ye Chen’s achievement, everyone had only one thought in their hearts: admiration.
Seeing everyone clapping for him, Ye Chen actually felt a bit embarrassed.
He bypassed the crowd and went directly to Xia Yingluo’s side.
Xia Yingluo’s pretty face instantly turned red.
After all, all the students were currently watching them.
Seeing the blushing Xia Yingluo, everyone couldn’t help but marvel.
A truly talented man and a beautiful woman!
At first, many people felt that Ye Chen wasn’t a match for a great beauty like Xia Yingluo.
But now, everyone realized that they were a perfect match.
The so-called ’talented man and beautiful lady’ was exactly this.
A beauty like Xia Yingluo could only be matched by a peerless genius like Ye Chen.
Old Xia saw this scene but didn’t say anything.
Although he had always felt a very awkward sensation regarding Ye Chen,
it was the feeling of someone stealing his treasure.
But Ye Chen’s excellence had truly moved him.
Old Xia was actually very satisfied with Ye Chen in his heart.
Old Xia even complained to himself: why did you have to study mathematics?
If you were my disciple, wouldn’t you also be able to achieve something in the field of Economics?
As soon as class ended, Ye Chen was surrounded by students from the Department of Economics.
Ye Chen was now the school’s star.
Everyone very enthusiastically wanted his signature.
Many girls even wanted to take photos with Ye Chen, and some even took the initiative to ask for Ye Chen’s WeChat.
This was Xia Yingluo’s class, after all.
As for the requests to add WeChat, Ye Chen politely declined them all.
However, he agreed to all the signatures and photos.
After all, they were Xia Yingluo’s classmates; he had to give them face.
Besides, them wanting his signature and photo meant they respected him.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Chen and Xia Yingluo finally emerged from the Economics Classroom.
After walking out, Ye Chen said with a smile, "It turns out the feeling of being an internet celebrity is quite nice."
Xia Yingluo was stunned: "What internet celebrity?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment and explained: "I mean being quite famous."
Xia Yingluo gave Ye Chen a sideways glance: "Is it because so many girls wanted your signature and photos, and asked for your WeChat, that you’re so happy?"
Ye Chen smiled awkwardly: "How is that possible? You saw that I didn’t add a single girl’s WeChat."
Xia Yingluo rolled her eyes at him: "That’s because I was watching you; you’re not allowed to add them even when I’m not there."
Ye Chen chuckled: "Don’t worry, I’m very well-behaved."
The two of them walked hand-in-hand to the Playground.
Xia Yingluo stared at Ye Chen and suddenly said, "Ye Chen, you said when you left that you’d give me a surprise."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "If you want a surprise, shouldn’t there be some gesture of appreciation?"
Xia Yingluo’s face turned red upon hearing this; this fellow was trying to take advantage of her again.
She saw that no one was around, gave Ye Chen a quick kiss on the cheek, and then said, "Bring out the surprise."
Ye Chen took a notebook out of his pocket and handed it to Xia Yingluo.
Xia Yingluo was stunned for a moment.
"What is this?"
"Open it and see," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Xia Yingluo curiously opened the notebook.
After opening it, Xia Yingluo saw that it was filled with signatures.
"Li Tongming, Hua Yang, Shen Wei..." every name was a titan in the mathematical world.
Especially the last name, Shen Mengwei—that was her idol back in High School.
Previously, Xia Yingluo greatly admired Shen Mengwei and could be called her little fan, but she never had the chance to meet her.
Ye Chen said with a smile: "To prepare this gift for you, I really used up all my favors."
Xia Yingluo was so moved that the rims of her eyes turned red.
Inside were many Mathematicians that Xia Yingluo deeply admired.
She had only mentioned liking Shen Mengwei once during a casual conversation.
She didn’t expect Ye Chen to remember.
"Ye Chen, thank you for the gift. I love it very much."
Ye Chen smiled and pulled Xia Yingluo into his arms.
He rubbed Xia Yingluo’s cute little head as he looked at her in his embrace.
Xia Yingluo also gazed infatuatedly at Ye Chen; this scene was so romantic.
She even wished time would stop at this very moment.
Perhaps, this is the taste of love!
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly took out a contract.
"Right, there’s one more thing. You should fulfill this contract now."
Xia Yingluo looked at Ye Chen, a bit dazed.
"Contract? What contract?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "The brand ambassador contract, of course."
Xia Yingluo was completely confused.
"When did I become a brand ambassador? I don’t remember any such contract."
Looking at the stack of papers in front of her, Xia Yingluo felt as if she had amnesia.
She never remembered signing any contract.
