Lin Mo and Li Qingqing, standing on either side of the doorway, looked at each other. Li Qingqing raised an eyebrow and teased, "Little brother, someone's taking your job. Aren't you going to say anything?"

"say what?"

Lin Mo chuckled softly, "Sister Qing, please don't stir up trouble. I can't afford to offend Old Master Qi. I grew up listening to his stories; he's my idol."

As he spoke, his voice rose.

Such blatant flattery caused Li Qingqing and Ke Renyi to both curl their lip and look at each other with disdain.

Lin Mo ignored this.

Qi Bei, on the other hand, was all smiles as he turned to Lin Mo and nodded, "Kid, you have a bright future. I'll be your backer from now on. If anyone in Xia Bei dares to bully you and An Yatou, just come to me, and I'll stand up for you."

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Professor Qi."

This scene made Ke Renyi extremely jealous, and he muttered to himself resentfully, "I'm the principal, okay..."

Qi Bei glanced at him, and Ke Renyi instantly fell silent, like a well-behaved child.

This comical scene made Li Qingqing laugh non-stop.

Lin Mo dared not be as presumptuous as Li Qingqing. After all, Ke Renyi was his principal. The university had only just begun, and he had a long time to spend in Xiabei. If he offended this person, his future days would be difficult.

He sat down on the other side of the long table and beckoned to An Youyu, "Come here."

An Youyu obediently walked around the long table and sat down to Lin Mo's right.

"Hands out."

"Oh."

"Wrong, right hand."

"Oh."

Lin Mo held the girl's right hand, the deep marks from gripping the pen made his heart ache. He skillfully kneaded her fingers, saying, "You keep saying you don't like money, but you're always eyeing it. I really don't know what to say about you."

Hearing Lin Mo's complaints, An Youyu felt extremely guilty. "I...I'm not greedy for money, I'm just...this is..."

Lin Mo squinted. "What is this? Exploring the limits of academia?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"Shut up."

An Youyu bit her lip lightly, and dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks. "Don't disbelieve me, believe me."

"I trust you?"

Lin Mo chuckled, "When it comes to things like your dislike of money, trusting you is like believing pigs can fly."

"Pah, sows can't climb trees."

An Youyu's eyes held a hint of reproach. After pondering for a few seconds, she spoke again, "Believe in the fish, and you will have eternal life."

His serious demeanor caused the people present to burst into laughter.

A short while later, Ke You also came over and showered An Youyu with concern and care.

Li Qingqing also stepped forward and took Lin Mo's place, massaging An Youyu's right arm while they chatted.

An Youyu was a little uncomfortable with the two women's enthusiastic attitude. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she could only look to Lin Mo for help.

Lin Mo noticed the girl's gaze, shrugged helplessly, and indicated that there was nothing he could do.

Ke Renyi couldn't stand the loneliness either, so he came over and started chatting.

Qi Bei, however, sat alone on the other side of the long table, intently studying a stack of draft paper.

As time went by, his expression grew increasingly serious, and his graying brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

About ten minutes later, his face flushed and his expression extremely excited, he slammed his hand on the table, the loud noise startling the people opposite him.

Li Qingqing and Ke You exchanged a glance, then looked at Ke Renyi with perfect understanding.

As juniors, they had no right to criticize Qi Bei's overreaction, but while they didn't, Ke Renyi did.

Ke Renyi's lips twitched. Normally, he would never have criticized Qi Bei.

The reason... well, it's because they dare not.

But this time...

In front of his daughter, Ke Renyi felt he couldn't back down, so he coughed and said, "Old Qi, how old are you? Can't you be a little more composed? What kind of behavior is this, all this jump around like that?"

Qi Bei didn't argue, his gaze fixed on An Youyu.

Such strange behavior made the people present realize that something was wrong, but they couldn't figure it out, and for a moment they were all completely confused.

After a long silence, Qi Bei took a deep breath, trying hard to control his emotions, "Girl, how did you find out?"

An Youyu: "?"

Qi Bei seemed to sense An Youyu's doubts and quickly changed his question, "I'm asking why you used basic formulas to solve the FTSD guessing problem?"

The tone was hurried!

Eyes filled with anticipation...

Chapter 616, eighteen chapters?

As soon as Qi Bei posed this question, apart from An Youyu and Lin Mo, the other three people all showed a look of confusion in their eyes.

The most confused one was Ke You. Not to mention that she had been out of school for several years, even when she was in college, she couldn't understand this kind of question.

After a brief moment of surprise, Li Qingqing seemed to understand something and asked to confirm, "Professor Qi, are you saying that Sister An used only the basic formulas to solve the FTSD conjecture and achieved certain results?"

"Achievements?"

Qi Bei looked at the stack of draft papers more than half a meter high beside him and couldn't help but take a deep breath. "This word... is not quite accurate."

"Ok?"

Meeting Li Qingqing's puzzled gaze, Qi Bei opened and closed his mouth several times before finally managing to utter a difficult sound, "She... seems to have ripped the sky apart."

Upon hearing this, all three were shocked.

Especially Li Qingqing, who was most familiar with Qi Bei, had dealt with this top mathematics professor quite a bit during her four years of university. Qi Bei had tried his best to get her to transfer to the mathematics department, but she preferred humanities and history.

Therefore, she understands Qi Bei's personality very well.

Praising someone?

This word is almost never seen in Qi Bei. In my memory, Qi Bei didn't praise her often, and even when he did, it was extremely subtle.

Such an exaggerated metaphor... Li Qingqing had never seen one like it before.

Has the sky been pierced?

This……

Qi Bei didn't explain much, his attention still focused on An Youyu, quietly waiting for her answer.

An Youyu didn't keep Qi Bei waiting for long, "because it's suitable."

"Because...it suits?"

Upon hearing this answer, Qi Bei muttered it to himself several times, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, "Isn't a higher-order formula more efficient?"

"no."

An Youyu shook her head. "There are too many variations in high-order formulas. Each additional variation is equivalent to another choice, and each choice represents a path. Human energy is ultimately limited, and each path requires massive calculations and verifications."

"To put it bluntly, using higher-order formulas is just creating trouble for yourself. On the contrary, basic formulas are different; they have a very singular direction."

These words enlightened Qi Bei.

Soon, his brows furrowed again. "Your point of view is indeed very reasonable, but using only the basic formula, many nodes simply cannot be connected."

At that moment, everyone could sense the change in Qi Bei's tone.

How to describe it...

Previously, when Qi Bei spoke to An Youyu, he used the tone of an elder or a teacher.

Now, Qi Bei's tone sounded almost like he was humbly asking for advice...

Even Lin Mo couldn't help but secretly gasp when he sensed the change in Qi Bei's tone.

Who is Qi Bei?

The top mathematician in China, without a doubt!

Even on the international stage, Qi Bei is a top mathematician, and there are only a handful of mathematicians who can rival him.

Such a being is no exaggeration to be called a towering figure in the field of mathematics.

Imagine, this mathematical giant actually asking a college freshman for math advice?

exaggerate!

too exaggerated!

It's so exaggerated that it gives you the illusion of being in a dream; it seems like this kind of thing can only exist in dreams...

Just as the group was lost in thought, An Youyu's voice rang out again, "If we can't connect, then we'll find a way to connect. It's very simple."

Qi Bei pressed further, "What method?"

"Create a basic formula that can be connected."

An Youyu's tone was so matter-of-fact, yet it stirred up a storm in Qi Bei's heart. This answer also resolved another question in his mind: why were there so many unfamiliar formulas on the draft paper?

Qi Bei unconsciously tightened his grip on the draft paper, his knuckles gradually turning white, and his voice trembled slightly, "But there are far too many broken nodes. If we use self-created formulas for all of them, we would need a massive number of self-created formulas."

"Creating your own formulas sounds simple, but it's very difficult to do. Each formula requires a lot of calculations and verifications. The FTSD conjecture has two phases and a total of 188 chapters. The broken nodes are as numerous as stars. Creating so many formulas is simply unrealistic."

"Unrealistic?"

An Youyu's eyes flashed with doubt, "I don't think so. Creating a formula is very simple, not as difficult as you think; besides, your mindset is wrong. The FTSD conjecture is indeed very troublesome, with many branches... well, the chapters you mentioned."

"However, as long as you are patient and keep calculating, there will eventually be a day when you have exhausted all the possibilities. How can you give up before you have even started calculating?"

quiet!

The reception room was completely silent.
