The next day, Zhao Yueyue specifically applied a nice makeup look.

However, when she walked into the Classroom, not a single person was paying attention to her.

"Big Boss, have an ice-cold Coke."

"Big Boss, what do you want for lunch? I’ll go get your meal for you in a bit."

...Several Mathematical Olympiad team members were gathered around Ye Chen.

Zhao Yueyue felt a bit depressed.

Perhaps this was the world of Top Students.

What were women to them? In their eyes, there were only math problems.

"Big Boss, can you explain that problem from just now to me again? I still don’t understand your method of solving it."

Ye Chen said while drinking his chilled Coke, "Actually, this problem isn’t that difficult. Look, you can solve it using Indeterminate Equations."

As he spoke, Ye Chen took out a book.

"You can take a look at ’Fermat’s Last Theorem’; it can help broaden your knowledge."

"Big Boss, you’ve already finished such a profound book? That’s awesome."

"Big Boss, can you tell me how you solve problems so quickly?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "It’s actually very simple. Just conceptualize the idea of the problem in your head, then verify it. You don’t have to write it out; you can perform the calculations in your brain."

The others were all dumbfounded by what they heard.

Is Big Boss Ye’s brain even human? It’s practically a computer.

Ye Chen drank his Coke, feeling very relaxed getting along with these teammates.

Everyone was focused on researching mathematics; this feeling was very comfortable.

Perhaps because everyone’s interests were the same, being together felt very happy.

As they say, geniuses are lonely because only when geniuses are together will they be attracted to one another.

Among them, there was no backstabbing or intrigue, only a thirst for knowledge.

Li Tongming walked into the Classroom and said, "Everyone, continue grinding problems today. Record all the problems you can’t solve, and then I will explain them to you."

As he spoke, Li Tongming glanced at Ye Chen. "Ye Chen, you don’t need to grind problems."

In fact, Li Tongming understood that those Mathematical Olympiad problems were no longer what Ye Chen was pursuing.

Ye Chen came up to Li Tongming and suddenly said, "Teacher, I want to research the Monster Group."

Li Tongming frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Ye Chen, I suggest you don’t touch the Monster Group. Do you know its other name? The Monster Group... many Mathematicians have become obsessed with it and couldn’t extricate themselves."

Instead of being afraid, Ye Chen became even more excited after hearing this.

"Teacher, you should know my personality. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do."

Li Tongming sighed and said, "Alright, if you want to learn, I can teach you. I will give you all my research materials on the Monster Group. But before that, you have to answer a few questions for me."

Ye Chen nodded.

Li Tongming asked, "Goldbachs Conjecture—are you sure you solved it independently?"

"If someone questions you like this, how will you answer?"

Ye Chen gave a faint smile. "This is easy to answer. Wouldn’t it be enough just to tell them my train of thought?"

Li Tongming nodded. "Ye Chen, for this Mathematical Olympiad competition, I believe there won’t be any problems with your talent during the first two days of competition. The key is the latter part. The International Mathematical Association is going to hold a discussion regarding your Goldbachs Conjecture. Many people now doubt whether you solved this conjecture independently, so they might target you or even make things difficult for you."

Ye Chen smiled. "Teacher, don’t worry. I can handle all of that."

Li Tongming said, "Mhm, I believe you. However, this time you’ll be facing over a dozen Mathematicians from all over the world. Their questions might be very tricky, so you must be well-prepared."

Ye Chen nodded. "Don’t worry, none of that will be a problem."

Only then did Li Tongming feel at ease.

Subsequently, Li Tongming took out a very thick notebook and said, "Ye Chen, these are my notes on the Monster Group. You can take a look. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me."

In truth, Li Tongming had researched the Monster Group for half a lifetime.

This thing really could make people obsessed.

Just like its name, the content within it seemed to possess a magical power.

But this thing was also very terrifying. Once you fall into it, you will be as if consumed by it, becoming infatuated. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

This was the main reason why Li Tongming didn’t want Ye Chen to come into contact with the Monster Group.

Because this thing was a Pandora’s box. Li Tongming knew its terror well, which was why he didn’t hope for Ye Chen to touch it.

Ye Chen flipped through the notebook and began reading the content inside.

An hour later, Ye Chen began discussing the content of the Monster Group with Li Tongming.

First, the focus of their dialectic was Euler’s Theorem.

Ye Chen said, "Professor Li, actually, the reason you’ve been stuck in it is that the path you took from the very beginning was skewed."

"The path was skewed from the beginning? What do you mean?" Li Tongming asked in confusion.

Ye Chen said, "Euler’s Theorem and the Monster Group are not a single entity at all. One is a collection of Number Theory, while the other is a discussion of formulas. By applying Euler’s Theorem to the Monster Group, problems will naturally arise."

Li Tongming was stunned upon hearing this.

No wonder he felt his path was getting narrower and narrower; it turned out he had taken the wrong path from the start.

At this moment, Li Tongming looked at Ye Chen in shock.

He only now realized that Ye Chen was the true mathematical monster.

He had actually seen through the problem that had plagued him for so many years at a single glance.

By this time, the other team members had also finished grinding their problems.

But they only then noticed that Ye Chen was currently explaining a problem to Li Tongming.

This made these students feel very depressed.

Wasn’t it supposed to be the teacher giving a lesson to the student? How had it been reversed?

Li Tongming listened very seriously, nodding incessantly, with expressions of wild joy appearing on his face from time to time.

It wasn’t until noon that Li Tongming finally looked up.

"It’s already time to eat. Everyone, go have lunch. We’ll have the supplementary lesson to explain problems in the afternoon."

The Mathematical Olympiad team members were very depressed.

They found that being together with Big Boss Ye, they had no sense of presence at all.

Inside the cafeteria, the Mathematical Olympiad team members walked in together to eat.

Every time these members appeared wearing their team uniforms, there was envy in the eyes of others.

These members were, after all, elites selected from various high schools.

Of course, Ye Chen was always the most eye-catching guy.

Zhao Yueyue sat next to Ye Chen and smiled. "Junior, eat more meat. You are the mainstay of our Olympiad team."

As she spoke, Zhao Yueyue was about to transfer the braised pork from her tray to Ye Chen’s.

However, at that moment, a voice rang out.

"Senior, thank you for helping me look after Ye Chen. You should eat it yourself; I’ve brought meat for Ye Chen."

The one speaking was precisely Xia Yingluo.

Xia Yingluo was seen sitting next to Ye Chen, and very thoughtfully, she moved all of her braised pork into Ye Chen’s plate.

Zhao Yueyue: "..."

Ye Chen gave an awkward laugh. "Yingluo, you should eat more meat too. Look, you’ve gotten thinner lately."

In fact, Ye Chen felt very bad for Xia Yingluo.

Because he had been training with the Mathematical Olympiad team, all the matters of the Hot Pot Restaurant had been left to Xia Yingluo and Li Sitong.

Xia Yingluo, in particular, was the most exhausted.

With the new store opening and staff training, it could be said that Xia Yingluo did everything personally.

Furthermore, Xia Yingluo still had her academic studies.

During this period, Ye Chen could feel that Xia Yingluo had become thin from exhaustion.

Xia Yingluo gave a slight smile. "It’s nothing. Oh right, our second branch has opened, and the opening was very popular."

As she spoke, Xia Yingluo leaned in to show Ye Chen the video of the opening.

On the side, Zhao Yueyue looked at the two people chatting intimately, feeling a sense of heartache.

She felt like she was just a transparent person!
