Chapter 221: Shocking the Bigwigs
Both old professors felt that Ye Chen was too arrogant.
In reality, they had misunderstood Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was not arrogant at all; it was just that this assessment was completely unnecessary for him.
They had to be joking.
Possessing the brain granted by the system, even Goldbachs Conjecture had only taken Ye Chen one night to solve.
What could those world Mathematicians possibly use to test Ye Chen?
Ye Chen could only use four words to describe those Mathematicians.
Overestimating their own capabilities!
"Ye Chen, you might be taking this too lightly. You must face this matter seriously."
Hua Yang understood very well that this time, these Mathematicians from the World Mathematics Association were coming on aggressively and would definitely make things difficult for Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, you are not representing yourself this time, but the entire China. If something goes wrong, it will be the entire Chinese mathematics community that loses face."
Li Tongming said, "Old Hua and I have discussed it. With two days left, we have decided to put you through special training to better prepare for this assessment by the international investigation team."
"That’s right, you must pass this assessment."
Both of them looked very serious, leaving Ye Chen bewildered.
In their eyes, this assessment seemed to be a very difficult hurdle to overcome.
But to Ye Chen, this kind of assessment was child’s play.
"Professor Li, Old Hua, could you two please listen to me for a moment?"
The two old professors kept rambling on about the importance of this assessment to Ye Chen, until Ye Chen finally couldn’t take it anymore and interrupted them.
"Actually, I don’t need any devilish special training to handle this assessment. Those so-called experts won’t be able to stump me at all, so you don’t need to worry."
Li Tongming and Hua Yang didn’t take Ye Chen’s confidence to heart at all.
Both of them were Level 4 Mathematicians, top-tier figures in the field of mathematics in China.
And this time, those examining Ye Chen were two from Country M and two from the Island Nation, all of whom were Level 4 Mathematicians.
Li Tongming and Hua Yang knew full well the strength of these four Level 4 Mathematicians.
It would be too easy for them to make things difficult for an eighteen-year-old.
Although Ye Chen had solved Goldbachs Conjecture, at the end of the day, he was just an eighteen-year-old freshman.
Even if Ye Chen was a genius, these four individuals were experts in different fields of mathematics.
Li Tongming and Hua Yang felt that even they would find it difficult to handle, let alone Ye Chen.
"No, Old Li and I must put you through devilish special training over the next two days. This is non-negotiable," Old Hua said stubbornly.
Li Tongming nodded as well.
After all, this matter concerned the honor of the Chinese mathematics community, and they couldn’t be careless.
Ye Chen sighed helplessly.
"Professor Li, Old Hua, how about this? You two each come up with a math problem you consider the hardest. If I can’t solve them, I will obediently accept whatever special training you want. But if I can solve them, will you let me off?"
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Professor Li and Old Hua laughed.
They felt that Ye Chen was really getting a bit too full of himself.
Ye Chen’s idea was too naive.
Wouldn’t it be easy for two math bigwigs to stump a freshman who was only eighteen years old?
Li Tongming and Old Hua immediately accepted Ye Chen’s proposal.
They also wanted to know where Ye Chen’s confidence came from.
Although Ye Chen had solved Goldbachs Conjecture.
But this didn’t mean Ye Chen could solve all mathematical problems.
The world of mathematics was like a vast ocean with too many fields.
In different fields, even a very simple conjecture could be enough to stump a large group of Mathematicians from other fields.
"Old Li, who do you think should pose a question first?"
Hua Yang adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said.
The two were experts in two different fields, each with their own specialties.
Li Tongming smiled: "Let’s do this, I’ll go first. If you pose a question first, I probably won’t have a turn. After all, you are the only person in China right now who can solve that problem of yours."
Hua Yang nodded with a smile and said: "Alright, then you go first. But I think your problem will also be enough to end the battle directly."
Ye Chen was dumbfounded.
These two were just too confident.
Although Ye Chen was a bit annoyed, the two were his seniors after all, so he didn’t say anything.
Actually, there was no point in talking more; using his ability to slap them in the face was the most direct method.
Li Tongming took out a piece of scratch paper, then took out a fountain pen, and with a flurry of motion, wrote a long string of formulas on the paper.
He said with a chuckle: "Kid, take your time solving it. I’ll give you one day."
As he spoke, Li Tongming pushed the math problem in front of Ye Chen.
He unhurriedly poured a cup of tea, and he and Old Hua went to the side to drink tea comfortably.
Looking at their expressions, they seemed very confident.
They had almost concluded that it was impossible for Ye Chen to solve this problem.
Ye Chen felt speechless.
You guys really look down on people too much.
Since that was the case, Ye Chen really had to use his ability to slap these two old professors in the face.
Ever since Ye Chen had the system’s blessing, this was the first time he had been looked down upon by others.
Ye Chen took out a pen and began to solve the problem with a flurry of motion.
Li Tongming took a glance and sneered: "This kid didn’t even look at the problem carefully. He started solving it without even thinking; it’s impossible for him to solve it."
Old Hua also nodded: "You are too mean. One day? I took over a month to solve this problem of yours."
Li Tongming smiled: "Although my problem can’t compare to Goldbachs Conjecture, it would still take at least a month to solve."
Old Hua nodded: "I think even a month is very difficult. It would be quite an achievement to solve it in two or three months."
Li Tongming looked at Ye Chen, who was seriously solving the problem, and sighed slightly.
He didn’t think Ye Chen could solve this problem in one day, but that was fine too; it would teach this kid a lesson and keep him from being so full of himself.
Ye Chen didn’t pay any attention to their conversation; he kept his head down and focused on solving the problem.
In the entire Office, there was only the sound of Ye Chen writing furiously.
Five minutes later, Ye Chen stopped his pen and then walked over to Li Tongming.
He then placed the draft paper in front of Li Tongming.
Li Tongming smiled: "What, giving up so soon?"
Old Hua laughed out loud: "Young man, it took me over a month to solve this problem back then. It’s very rational of you to give up."
Ye Chen smiled faintly: "Professor Li, this problem you posed is a bit too simple. I’ve already solved it."
Pfft!
The mouthful of tea Li Tongming had just taken sprayed out directly.
He looked at Ye Chen in shock: "What? You solved it?"
Old Hua was also stunned.
What did this kid just say?
This problem is too simple?
Are you kidding me?
Li Tongming grabbed Ye Chen’s draft paper. When he saw the content on it, Li Tongming and Hua Yang were completely dumbfounded.
How is this possible?
He actually solved it!
