It was bizarre that a group of mathematics experts would actually go to such lengths to deal with an eighteen-year-old boy from China.

However, such a bizarre event had indeed occurred.

"My suggestion is to leave the other questions unchanged and add three high-difficulty problems."

"Hmm, I agree. If there are too many perfect scores in the Mathematical Olympiad, where would the authority of our competition be?"

"I think we should prohibit submitting papers early during the exam; it will affect the other candidates."

"I object. No exam prohibits early submission. If a candidate is skilled enough, there shouldn’t be any problem with submitting early."

"It’s such a headache. How could someone like Ye Chen, a freak of nature, appear in this world?"

"Now, I think the core of our discussion should be the last three problems and how to stump these candidates."

The exam, originally scheduled for the morning, was moved to the afternoon due to a last-minute change by the question-setting committee.

At noon, the Chinese Olympic team arrived at the hall.

Li Tongming ran into Ostov, the leader of the Russian team.

Ostov smiled and said, "Li, congratulations. China has produced a mathematical genius like Ye Chen; I estimate that first place will surely be yours this time."

Li Tongming smiled and replied, "The competition hasn’t ended yet, so no one knows the result. I heard that those experts from the Mathematics Association are currently working on increasing the difficulty of the problems."

Ostov said helplessly, "That’s only because you Chinese performed too well. All six of your contestants reached the finals; it’s simply unimaginable."

As Ye Chen was eating, a young man with yellow skin wearing the uniform of the US team walked over.

"Hello, Ye Chen, I’m very happy to meet you."

As he spoke, he extended his hand.

Ye Chen recognized him as the Chinese-descent student who had been interviewed on TV, claiming he would crush China and win glory for the US.

Ye Chen did not reach out his hand; instead, he continued eating and said indifferently, "What’s there to be happy about?"

Li Yao: "..."

Could it be that I’ve been away from China for too long, and the way people greet each other has changed?

I said I’m happy to meet you; shouldn’t you say the same?

Seeing the embarrassed Li Yao, Ye Chen said indifferently, "Sorry, I don’t like shaking hands with ungrateful wretches. My apologies."

"You..."

Li Yao’s face instantly turned ugly.

Ye Chen continued, "I know you’re unconvinced. Didn’t you say you would represent the US and defeat us? I’m waiting. However, I don’t think you have the ability. By the way, I think it’s better if you stick to speaking English. You don’t deserve to speak Chinese."

With that, Ye Chen wiped his mouth and walked away.

Li Yao’s face darkened, and his fists were clenched tight.

He had originally wanted to cozy up to Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen was incredibly strong, and they were both Chinese; perhaps they could have academic exchanges in the future.

However, he never expected Ye Chen to be so arrogant.

Ye Chen was actually very low-key, but he had no affection whatsoever for trash that betrayed their motherland, worked for other countries, and took pride in defeating their own homeland.

He simply couldn’t bring himself to be friends with such people.

At this moment, a boy stood behind Li Yao.

"Is that him? Is that Ye Chen?" the blonde boy asked coldly, looking at Ye Chen’s back.

A fawning smile immediately appeared on Li Yao’s face.

"Young Master Kajo, that’s right, this kid is Ye Chen. Damn, he’s too arrogant! Young Master Kajo, you must defeat him."

Kajo watched Ye Chen’s back, his eyes narrowing slightly. A trace of smugness appeared on his face. "So what if your IQ is high? I am determined to win the championship of this Mathematical Olympiad."

After finishing his meal, Ye Chen returned to the Dormitory.

He called the others over and said, "Continue memorizing these problems. However, if I’m not mistaken, they might include about three problems that are outside the syllabus this time. If you can solve them, do so; if you can’t, just give up. Very few people should be able to solve these three problems."

The others treated the problems Ye Chen gave them like precious treasures.

In the afternoon, Ye Chen sat in the exam room.

Zhao Yueyue held the test paper in her hand and scanned it.

Just as Ye Chen had said, he had predicted all of the first seven questions, but the last three were extremely difficult.

It could be said that Zhao Yueyue couldn’t understand them at all.

Looking at the long string of mathematical symbols, Zhao Yueyue felt as if she were reading a book from the heavens.

Is this a problem combining the Pythagorean theorem and elements?

Are these people who set the questions crazy?

Zhao Yueyue looked at them for a while, but even if she worked herself to death, she couldn’t figure out the last three problems, so she focused her energy on the first few questions.

She finished the seven questions quickly, checked them, and handed in her paper.

Anyway, she couldn’t solve the last three problems.

After coming out, Zhao Yueyue discovered that she wasn’t the first one.

There was also a student from India.

His instructor was talking to him.

"You’re done already?"

"Yes, I’m done!"

"Amazing! Haha, our India has finally produced a genius."

"Teacher, but I just guessed everything."

Teacher: "..."

"You don’t know any of them?"

"Yes, I knew three or four of the first questions, but I had no idea about the last three."

Instructor: "If you didn’t know them, why did you hand in your paper so early? Why didn’t you think about them properly?"

The student looked aggrieved, "I couldn’t figure them out even if I tried; they were really too difficult."

"How difficult could they be? Tell me about them."

The Indian student told the teacher about the problems.

The instructor was stunned after hearing them.

The student said, "Teacher, is it that you don’t know how to do them either?"

The teacher’s face turned red, "Who said I don’t know? It’s just a bit difficult."

The candidates walked out of the exam room one after another.

However, this time, Ye Chen did not submit his paper early.

Only three students were left in the exam room.

For this exam, Ye Chen and Kajo were seated next to each other.

There were only three students in the exam room.

All three students were working on the final three problems.

Looking at the problems, the corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled up slightly.

Now these are interesting problems.

When Ye Chen had solved problems before, he felt that the questions were only at an elementary school level.

Now, he had finally seen High School level problems.

Ye Chen was writing rapidly.

All three people were answering the questions.

Ye Chen’s speed was clearly faster than the other two students.

When the other two were working on the seventh problem, Ye Chen had already reached the final problem.

When Ye Chen saw the final problem, he couldn’t help but laugh.

The Exam Proctor, looking at Ye Chen with his strange smile, was a bit stunned.

What is this kid laughing at?

Is the problem too difficult?

The Exam Proctor even felt a little secret joy, thinking that he could finally stump this Chinese student.

Ye Chen found the final problem very interesting.

"Please provide at least two mathematical explanations. Each additional one adds one point, but if one is incorrect, the entire problem receives zero points."

Ye Chen understood that this problem was the final contest between the three geniuses.

At this moment, the genius boy from Russia, the genius boy from the US, and Ye Chen from China would decide the victor through this final problem.
