The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 47 Xiao Shen
Xiao Yi finally understood why other candidates in the group said that this exam was too abstract.

Because, after finishing the three street-level test questions in the morning, there was another test in the afternoon. This time, the test was to extract excerpts from some famous mathematical papers, and then ask them to analyze the mathematical methods used in these excerpts. The academicians would also give them a question based on this, and ask them to use the analyzed mathematical methods to solve it.

There are two sections in total, and the test lasts three hours.

Xiao Yi finally understood how difficult this exam was.

This afternoon exam was entirely designed to test their ability of mathematical abstraction, to see whether they could extract and abstract the essential mathematical methods used in specific mathematical cases.
This is an important ability that a mathematician should have!
This is also the purpose of the academicians’ questions this time!
From so many math geniuses, select students who possess this important ability!
For a moment, Xiao Yi seemed to feel his blood boiling.

It's burning up!

Very good! Very difficult!
He likes such challenging problems, which allow him to discover the essence of mathematics that he may have never been exposed to before within a limited time.

He couldn't help but start looking forward to it.

After closing the syllabus and returning to the chat group interface, he suddenly discovered that someone had tagged him.

He flipped through it and found that it was the Peking University student named Chen Muhua who tagged him. Looking at the previous chat records, it seemed that this guy had entered the national training team for this year's mathematics competition.

Being able to join the national team shows that he not only won the gold medal in the CMO exam, but also ranked relatively high.

However, he doesn't know this guy, so why should he tag him?
He glanced at the message.

Beijing University-Chen Muhua: [@UST-Xiao Yi, you are the famous Xiao Yi, right? The number one scholar in Anhui Province? ]

Well, it seems this guy knows him.

And under this message, other people also became excited when they saw Chen Muhua's words.

[Oh my god, is that the top student in the second year of high school? Wow, there are so many big guys here? ]

[This is not a big boss, this is a giant boss! ]

……

Looking at these messages, Xiao Yi shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and then replied: [@京大-陈木华, hello, it’s me. ]

Peking University - Chen Muhua: [I didn't expect to meet Xiao Shen himself. I am also from Anhui Province. Although I got a place in Peking University through a mathematics competition, I also took the college entrance examination this year. In such a difficult exam, Xiao Shen was able to get 741 points. It's really amazing! ]

[It's a pity that I thought I could be classmates with Xiao Shen at Peking University, but I didn't expect you to go to the University of Science and Technology. ]

HKUST-Xiao Yi: [Haha, we both study mathematics, maybe we will have a chance to meet in the future.]

Jingda-Chen Muhua: [That’s true. I’m looking forward to that day. I also wish Xiaoshen good luck in the exam. ]

HKUST-Xiao Yi: [I also wish you good luck in your exams. 】

Watching their conversation, other students also started talking about this year's college entrance examination. For a moment, more people were amazed by Xiao Yi's score of 741.

Xiao Yi put down his phone. He originally thought that he was going to meet the legendary "classic villain" who wanted to compete with him in the test results, but in fact he just wanted to get to know him.

After a quick look, he found that Chen Muhua had sent him a friend request.

I gladly accepted the friend request and briefly chatted with other people in the group.

Although he has to study hard every day, he will not refuse necessary social activities like this.
When the group's attention shifted away from him, he put down his phone, lowered his head, and continued reading the paper, still Zhang Yitang's paper on the twin prime conjecture.

He has been reading it for many days, even longer than the time he spent reading the paper on Fermat's Last Theorem.

As he read more and more, some new ideas gradually lingered in his mind.

Perhaps one day, all of his ideas will be completely unified and form a "spear of conjecture"!
……

The 8 days passed quickly.

Xiao Yi's blood was boiling as he finally waited for the day of the joint exam for college mathematics classes to arrive.

The examination location of HKUST is naturally in the HKUST teaching building.

The exam is at nine o'clock.

I walked into the campus of USTC and looked at the scene in front of me.

As a university named after "Science and Technology", the campus of USTC does not have any famous scenery. It is like a rigorous science and engineering man who does not care much about his appearance.

However, the nice greenery also makes this "science and engineering man" more gentle.

This was not the first time Xiao Yi came to USTC. As someone who was born in Fei City, the probability that he had never visited USTC was very low.

Not to mention that he had previously studied at the High School Affiliated to USTC, so their school naturally organized an activity for him to visit and study at USTC.

Without lingering on the scenery for too long, he went straight to the School of Mathematical Sciences.

The examination location was on the upper floor of the School of Mathematical Sciences. After all, there were only 45 people participating in this written examination, which was not a large number. All 45 people were arranged to take the examination in a large lecture hall.

Soon, they arrived at the examination room, where quite a few students were already sitting, including a few "kids" who looked a generation younger than them.

It is obvious that these kids are geniuses from the junior class, and they may be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh. Only after coming to a place like this did he realize that there are actually many geniuses in the world.

Of course, he is also confident that he will not lose to any genius.

Is a genius as good as a cheater?

At this time, the young students present were also communicating with each other. They probably considered that two-thirds of the people in this examination room would become their future classmates, so they wanted to get to know each other in advance.

Even if we don't become classmates, we will still be alumni in the future. After all, even if we are screened out, it's just that those in the junior class will go back to the junior class, and those in the School of Mathematics will go back to the School of Mathematics, there won't be much difference.

Xiao Yi quickly found his seat, sat down, and began to wait quietly for the exam to begin.

But at this time, a "child" who was probably in the junior class and sitting next to him came up and said, "Xiao Shen?"

Hearing this name, Xiao Yi suddenly felt ashamed.

Someone called him like this in the chat group before, but it was okay and acceptable when it was online. But now that it’s offline and he’s still being called like this, he immediately feels ashamed.

Turning his head, he glanced at the "kid" and said, "Just... don't call me Xiao Shen, just call me by my name."

The kid said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? I heard from the seniors in the junior class that they all call each other "gods", so you can also call me Ye Shen. My name is Ye Cheng."

Xiao Yi held his forehead with his hand, "Okay, Master Ye."

Everyone has become a god.
