Chapter 222: A Genius Among Geniuses
Li Tongming and Hua Yang looked at the verification process on the draft paper.
The more they looked, the more shocked they became.
Hua Yang already knew the final answer to this problem.
Therefore, he also took a quick glance.
Upon seeing the answer, Hua Yang’s body trembled slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
It was actually correct; how was this possible?
Hua Yang knew very well how difficult this problem was.
Back then, it had taken him over a full month to solve it.
But what about Ye Chen?
He had only used less than five minutes.
Most importantly, Ye Chen was merely an eighteen-year-old freshman.
How could this be?
"I must have misread it."
Hua Yang comforted himself this way.
As a result, he took another look at the final answer, and it was still exactly the same as before.
Hua Yang was completely stunned.
This was simply too incredible.
As for Li Tongming, when he saw the final result, his entire body froze.
He stared blankly at the calculation draft in his hand, without saying a word, completely dumbfounded.
Ye Chen felt quite amused seeing the two old men in such a daze.
"Weren’t you two just acting like big shots with me?"
"Go on, be arrogant again."
"Hmph, if a tiger doesn’t show its might, you’ll take me for a sick cat."
At this moment, Ye Chen felt incredibly refreshed.
If he hadn’t been provoked by Li Tongming and Hua Yang, Ye Chen might not have solved this problem so quickly.
But Li Tongming just had to provoke Ye Chen with his words from the side.
Talking about being young and frivolous, and how one shouldn’t be too proud.
Under Li Tongming’s provocation, Ye Chen had exerted his full strength.
He had just obtained Divine-level Observation.
With just one glance from Ye Chen, the entire Algorithm for the problem had already appeared in his mind.
This also let Ye Chen know how awesome this divine skill, which he hadn’t thought much of before, truly was.
Therefore, this problem that seemed incredibly complex to others was no different from a primary schooler’s problem in front of Ye Chen.
"Dean Li, what do you think of my work on this problem?"
Ye Chen deliberately asked the dazed Li Tongming in a teasing manner.
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Li Tongming shook his head helplessly.
This disciple of his was simply too amazing.
Was this really just an eighteen-year-old freshman?
He was practically a monster.
Although Li Tongming was unwilling to believe the facts before him.
Ye Chen’s solution to this problem was indeed correct, and the process was absolutely perfect.
"Um, not bad."
After holding it in for a long time, Li Tongming, his old face flushed red, finally responded awkwardly.
Li Tongming truly hadn’t expected that this problem, which he had once forgotten food and sleep over and spent more than a month solving, would be solved by Ye Chen in just five minutes.
This was simply too freakish.
Li Tongming felt as if he were being slapped in the face.
And his old face was almost being slapped swollen.
He also regretted boasting so much just now, only to be directly face-slapped by a junior.
"This kid has some skill."
Hua Yang, who was standing by, also began to take him seriously.
Hua Yang had seen Ye Chen’s records.
Before his second year of high school, he could be described as mediocre.
It wasn’t until his Senior Year of High School that Ye Chen suddenly seemed to have activated a cheat.
At eighteen years old, to have such mathematical talent, he was truly a mathematical prodigy.
Li Tongming said seriously, "Ye Chen, I really didn’t expect that you could solve this problem in such a short time. Even that Level 5 Mathematician from the US took half an hour to solve this problem back then."
"Level 5 Mathematician?"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.
Li Tongming explained, "Old Hua and I are both Level 4 Mathematicians. Above us, there is a heaven-defying existence, and that is the contemporary God of Mathematics, Martin. He is the only Level 5 Mathematician in the world."
At this moment, Li Tongming and Old Hua were truly shocked by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen’s speed in solving the problem could even crush that Level 5 Mathematician.
This was simply too unbelievable.
Li Tongming asked from the side, "Xiao Chen, tell us the truth, have you solved this problem before?"
Beside him, Professor Li finally couldn’t help but ask.
Although he didn’t want to doubt Ye Chen, Ye Chen’s performance was truly too heaven-defying; he still couldn’t accept it.
This was also the only reason Li Tongming could think of.
Otherwise, how could Ye Chen have taken only five minutes for such a difficult problem, one that even the God of Mathematics took half an hour to complete?
It wasn’t that Li Tongming didn’t believe his student, but the result was just too startling.
How could an eighteen-year-old student have such a high level of mathematics, even if he had started learning it from the womb?
This was simply too terrifying.
Hearing Li Tongming’s words, a look of doubt also appeared in Old Hua’s eyes.
This was also what he suspected.
Li Tongming’s suspicion was very likely.
After all, many Mathematicians knew about this problem.
There was also related content on the internet, so it wouldn’t be strange if Ye Chen had done it before.
Ye Chen said calmly, "Professor Li, Old Hua, whether you believe it or not, this is indeed the first time I’ve done this problem. I haven’t done it before."
Hearing Ye Chen’s answer, Li Tongming and Old Hua were shocked once again.
The first time doing it?
How was that possible!
Ye Chen looked at the two’s astonished expressions with a face full of helplessness.
Wasn’t it just solving a problem?
Besides, Ye Chen felt that this problem really wasn’t that difficult, was it?
Was it necessary for these two old gentlemen to be so surprised?
And they were even looking at him with such suspicion.
In fact, Ye Chen had truly misunderstood the two of them.
It wasn’t that they didn’t trust Ye Chen, but the strength Ye Chen displayed was simply too heaven-defying.
The two of them simply couldn’t believe it. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
After getting Ye Chen’s affirmative answer, both Li Tongming and Old Hua fell silent.
Since Ye Chen said he hadn’t done it, they naturally wouldn’t continue to doubt him.
Moreover, they had a second thought.
Ye Chen had even worked out Goldbachs Conjecture, so it wasn’t impossible for him to solve this problem.
At this time, Old Hua suddenly remembered a question.
"Kid, how many years did it take you to solve Goldbachs Conjecture?"
Li Tongming also looked at Ye Chen curiously.
He also very much wanted to know exactly how long Ye Chen had spent on Goldbachs Conjecture, which had troubled the mathematics world for a century.
Both of them looked at Ye Chen with expectant faces.
In fact, he had always wanted to ask this question but had never found the opportunity.
Ye Chen said, "For this problem, I indeed spent a long time solving it back then."
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Li Tongming and Old Hua finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Ye Chen didn’t give them an answer that was too startling.
However, before the two of them could finish catching their breath, Ye Chen’s answer shocked them once again.
"I spent a whole night on this problem, about five or six hours."
The Office fell into a dead silence.
Neither of the two old men spoke anymore.
This result was too heart-wrenching.
The young man in front of them had achieved in five or six hours what they couldn’t do in a lifetime.
And this guy even had the nerve to say it took a long time.
Was five or six hours a long time?
This kid was simply a genius among geniuses.
No, he was simply insanely overpowered.
