The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

"What? He refused to attend the ICM conference? Has he gone mad?"

"That's the International Congress of Mathematicians! Countless mathematicians spend their entire lives without ever getting a chance to speak on that stage, and he just refused?"

"Who does he think he is? Just because he proved a few conjectures, he thinks he's all that? ICM inviting him is giving them face!"

"That's incredibly arrogant! It shows a lack of respect for the entire international mathematics community!"

"God...he doesn't want us all to fly to China, does he? That's insane!"

……

Foreign netizens immediately erupted in arguments, with a barrage of questions and insults flying everywhere.

You are indeed very capable, but that is no reason for you to be arrogant!

It's important to know that, in the eyes of many mathematicians, the ICM conference, held every four years, is the highest hall of fame!

But at this moment, an eighteen-year-old boy looked down on it?

This is absolutely unacceptable!

"I admit his proof is outstanding, but that doesn't mean he can disregard the highest levels of mathematics education worldwide!"

"Arrogant! So arrogant!"

"He's just young and impetuous. Once he realizes what missing out on ICM means, he'll regret it and beg to come back."

"Ridiculous! Chinese scholars are truly ignorant; they can't even grasp the significance of the ICM."

"I bet he'll eventually obediently fly to America; he's just throwing a tantrum to get attention."

"If someone doesn't even understand the most basic academic rules, even if they have some talent, they are destined not to go far."

"He probably thinks that just because he proved three conjectures, the whole world will revolve around him. Wake up, kid! There are plenty of geniuses in the history of mathematics who ruined their careers because of arrogance!"

"Giving him an hour to report is already a huge favor from ICM, and he dares to refuse? He's really arrogant!"

"Just wait and see. Without the official approval of the international academic community, his conjectures will forever remain just a source of self-congratulation within China."

……

Some netizens translated the comments from foreign netizens back to China, and the debate in China instantly erupted.

It was already past midnight, but countless netizens were still staying up all night, bypassing internet restrictions to argue, their tempers flaring.

"You're quite the double standard player! When you refused to attend the conference in China, why didn't you admit to being arrogant? Now you're turning around and blaming us?"

"According to international practice? Chinese scholars used to flock to the event every time, but it's incredibly difficult for you to come even once. Is this practice only for us?"

"Ridiculous! The results were brought about by Ji Bai's leadership. Who gives you the right to interfere in their verification?"

"You accused them of forging documents before, but now that they have three certificates, you're saying they don't know the rules. So you're saying you made all the rules?"

"Is ICM so great? No one could overturn the table before, but now that Ji Bai is here, the rules of the mathematics community need to change!"

"Come if you want, get out if you don't! Our own national treasure-level geniuses don't need your approval!"

"Hilarious! You're waiting for Ji Bai to regret it? I think you'll be the ones regretting it later!"

……

Public opinion intensified.

Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, an unexpected heavyweight suddenly spoke up.

Professor Wiles, the prover of Fermat's Last Theorem, a world-class problem, posted a status update on social media.

"I think we should admit that this time, we were arrogant."

Just a simple sentence.

But what it represents, everyone understands.

This sparked a huge wave of discussion, with more and more top-tier mathematicians making public statements.

A Fields Medal winner said: "The complete proofs of the three world-class number theory conjectures are worth the effort of mathematicians from all over the world to go there. The holy land of academia is never a conference hall, but the place where truth is born."

An Abel Prize laureate said: "An established practice? Every great breakthrough in the history of mathematics breaks the established practices. I've already booked my flight to China; I don't want to miss the opportunity to witness a new era."

A Wolf Prize winner said: "Rather than listening to a dozen or so bland presentations at the ICM, I'd rather fly to China and ask that young man in person how he came up with those ingenious proofs."

Even Terence Tao updated his status: "ICM can wait four years, but a genius who can advance mathematics for ten years should not wait. I support holding the verification conference in China, and I will definitely attend."

……

Mathematicians are arguably the most intelligent group of people in the world!

A Goldbach conjecture might be described as a flash of inspiration, or perhaps a lucky accident.

After all, many times it's just a matter of inspiration.

Just like many people who see the answer, they will say, "Oh, I see. I almost figured it out."

The fact that three world-class conjectures have been proven in a row, all by an eighteen-year-old boy, is something even a fool would understand.

This signifies the birth of a new era!

It's easy to imagine that in the coming decades, the entire mathematics community will be trampled underfoot by this young man!

Without a doubt, this young man will usher in an era and then suppress another!

Therefore, some smart people couldn't sit still and began to express their opinions and show goodwill.

……

When the news reached China, the entire internet went wild.

"Hahaha! They've bowed their heads! They've finally bowed their heads!"

"Where are those foreign netizens who were jumping around so enthusiastically before? Come out and show yourselves! Your authoritative figures have all stated they're coming!"

"That feels so good! So satisfying! We used to be the ones chasing after Western academic conferences, now they're the ones rushing to come to us!"

"Ji Bai is amazing! He single-handedly brought the entire international mathematics community here!"

"They apologized! They admitted their mistake!"

……

Of course, there are also truly rational and intelligent netizens who saw through the foreigners' intentions at a glance.

"They don't know they were wrong, they're just scared!"

"Ji Bai opened the Heavenly Gate with one sword, shattered the Heavenly Barrier with two swords, and proved himself to be the Heavenly Emperor with three swords!"

"Those supreme beings from the forbidden zones didn't suddenly become kind; they saw that the Heavenly Emperor had already attained enlightenment, and if they didn't show goodwill, they would be suppressed!"

"Haha, that's a brilliant analogy! I understood it immediately!"

"Supreme Lords of the Forbidden Zone: We were arrogant before, and we beg the Emperor's forgiveness!"

"What ICM or not, this is the Heavenly Emperor's residence, where all the immortals naturally come to pay homage!"

……

All eyes were immediately drawn to IMU's official account.

Netizens from various countries flocked to the comments section, demanding an official response:

"Stop playing dead! Come out and give me a straight answer! Are you going to China for the verification conference or not?"

"Wiles and Tao have both said they're going, and IMU is still putting on airs?"

"We've laid out all three major hypotheses; how long are you going to wait?"

"Make a decision quickly! I can't wait to watch the validation conference!"

"You're not still thinking of sending Ji Bai to America, are you? Don't dream about it!"

"Is the ICM, held every four years, more important, or are the three major conjectures that have remained unsolved for over a century? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

……

At this moment, at IMU headquarters, Secretary General Charles was completely dumbfounded!

Three days, three major proofs!

Are you even human?

What should we do now?

The whole world is watching.
