Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 599 - 247: Dou Dou Faces Defeat, Praise from All Quarters_3

Sure, here is the translation of the provided Chinese text into English:

Everyone is really bored indeed!

I suppose the exam questions at the end of each year are too simple, right?

Yes, definitely.

Qiao Ze decided to find time to talk with Chen Yuanzhi, if they wanted to match Princeton, they could not make the exams too easy.

They should not pursue graduation rates as a meaningless statistic.

Truly caring for students meant enabling them to learn useful things on campus so that the school’s graduates would be recognized worldwide. Higher difficulty would naturally stimulate the students’ initiative.

Take Princeton for example; its overall undergraduate graduation rate is only 90.2%, but it still doesn’t hinder its reputation as a world-famous university.

They can start with a pilot in the School of Mathematics.

Putting one’s heart and soul into studies at the best age probably leaves no room for chasing celebrities, right?

...

Arriving at the research institute with the intention to challenge countless students with academic rigors, Lv Bei was already standing outside to greet him.

Qiao Ze had gotten used to being watched the moment he stepped out of his home.

He had been away from home for a month, and not only had the familiar faces changed, but the number of surveillance cameras along the route he frequently took had doubled. If all the cameras were operational, there would almost be no blind spots left.

When he first moved into the Nanyuan Building, he had been able to find a perfect route to evade all the cameras without disrupting their operation.

But now, that had become an impossible task.

The most outrageous thing was, not only had the surveillance cameras been upgraded to HD with infrared, but seven of them were pointed at the sky.

It was as if even a fly flying by could be recorded clearly.

In such a situation, if one wanted to pull the wool over someone’s eyes, they could only resort to tampering with the cameras.

For Dou Dou, it wasn’t a difficult task, but there was no need for that, since all the camera feeds were shared with Dou Dou anyway.

"Professor Qiao, all the visitors in the courtyard are researchers on assignment from the Xilin Research Institute, they said they’ve come for a group meeting. We have already verified their identities, but since we weren’t notified, we didn’t let them go upstairs," Lv Bei explained as soon as they met.

"A group meeting? Have they held meetings here before?" Qiao Ze asked.

He hadn’t received any notification either, and he didn’t initiate any meeting yesterday.

Currently, almost all researchers under the institute’s framework were part of the team working on superspiral algebra and transcendental geometry. However, these researchers usually didn’t work at the institute but were assigned several offices in the administrative building of the School of Mathematics. Naturally, their meetings were held there as well.

The main reason was that the temporary three-story building allocated to them was too small and Qiao Ze didn’t like having too many people around. For the time being, they had to make do.

They would have to wait until the main building of the Mathematics Research Institute to the west was completed before moving there.

"No, they haven’t been here before," Lv Bei replied concisely.

At that moment, Sun Xiaochun, who had been observing, noticed Qiao Ze’s arrival and hurried over to greet him warmly.

"Professor Qiao, hello. My name is Sun Xiaochun."

This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.

Qiao Ze nodded slightly, having never met the person but recognizing the name.

Last month, this researcher scored 96 on the Academic Research Institute’s entrance exam, two points shy of the top score. He came from the Science Academy’s Center for Mathematics and Systems Science.

"Actually, Professor Qiao, after our research group was successfully formed, we had planned a meeting to meet with you. However, you then took a long leave and weren’t around the school. Coincidentally, today is also our meeting day, so we discussed it in our group chat last night and decided to just have the meeting here, making up for the missed one. It was presumptuous of us, please don’t mind," Sun Xiaochun spoke rapidly.

In fact, it had been his suggestion.

There was no helping it, under the immense pressure from eminent academics and scholars yesterday.

Though he was part of the Xilin Research Institute, outsiders might not believe it given the short distance; it wasn’t easy getting an audience with Qiao Ze.

Communications with Qiao were through an internal messaging software. For something like a report presentation, if he was to just include a line in his submitted report, Qiao probably wouldn’t pay any attention. Thus, he finally came up with this idea.

Everyone was pulling an all-nighter anyway, the group chat was still lively at dawn, and with everyone under great pressure last night, as soon as this proposal was made, everyone agreed.

They couldn’t bear the pressure anymore.

If Qiao didn’t conduct this report presentation, everyone seemed to expect them to clarify the abstract proof process, but how could they?

Their only advantage over the outside world was access to Qiao’s handwritten manuscripts on Qiao’s Algebraic Geometry. The questions they compiled each week would receive written responses.

Moreover, their group had only been established for a month. How could they have thoroughly understood such abstract content in such a short time?

They weren’t the kind of prodigies who were born knowing it all, were they?

"Oh, okay, ten minutes later, in the conference room on the first floor," Qiao Ze nodded, then immediately remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

The prior arrangement had been delayed because of him, so catching up afterward seemed reasonable to Qiao. Plus, he indeed should get to know these researchers by name and face.

Sun Xiaochun also breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

It didn’t matter where the group meeting was held; what was most important was to ask Qiao directly if he could hold a report presentation and then give the academics a definite response.
