Chapter 8
Answering World Problems
“Yes, I understand!” Shan Chen finally understood. He felt enlightened as he looked at the question.
Shan Yue’s explanation just now was very clear. Her expression was also precise and smooth. She turned the complicated content into vivid and concise knowledge points. She was simply better than the top teachers who taught them. Not only did Shan Chen understand it, but he also learned how to solve such questions!
Seeing Shan Yue’s calm expression, Shan Chen still doubted his life. He swallowed his saliva and said, “Did you accidentally get it right? I’ll find some more questions for you to do!”
“Sure, feel free.” Shan Yue was very confident in her intelligence. She found a stool and sat beside Shan Chen, waiting for him to set the questions.
After twenty minutes, Shan Chen was already covered in sweat. It was unknown if he was frightened or anxious to find the questions. In short, he copied five questions and formed an examination paper before Shan Yue.
Each of these five questions was more difficult than the last. The first question was still about high school knowledge. After that, he advanced to university knowledge. The last question was a classic mathematical problem that had only been solved by mathematicians in recent years.
And the team of mathematicians who had solved this world problem had been awarded the Supreme Medal of Honor for Mathematics by the Federation’s academic institution.
The reason why Shan Chen worked hard to study was that he treated these people as his future goal. If he could stand on the podium and receive the Supreme Honor Award once in his life, he would die without regrets!
Shan Yue did not expect the twists and turns in Shan Chen’s heart when he took out this test paper. As soon as she received the test paper, she was completely immersed and focused on writing the questions.
Shan Chen was extremely nervous. He stared at the clock from time to time, holding the answer tightly in his hand, silently counting down in his heart.
At thirty seconds, Shan Yue finished the first question. All correct.
At one minute and ten seconds, Shan Yue finished the second question. It was still correct.
At two minutes and five seconds, Shan Yue finished the third question and still got it all right.
At this moment, Shan Chen’s palms were already sweating. He felt that he could not sit still, so he stood up and went over to watch Shan Yue solve the questions.
At 3 minutes and 34 seconds, Shan Yue finished the fourth question again. At this moment, Shan Chen was watching from the side. He was even more nervous than Shan Yue and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
When she saw the last question, Shan Yue read it once and couldn’t help but read it a second time. She subconsciously asked in confusion, “Eh—this question?”
Was she finally stumped? Shan Chen thought. That reassured him. It was shocking enough that the fool, Shan Yue, could suddenly solve mathematical problems tonight. If Shan Yue could still write world problems that only a team of mathematicians could solve, she would be a monster. He might as well die.
Just as Shan Chen heaved a sigh of relief and was about to persuade Shan Yue to rest and not try to challenge the world’s problems, he saw Shan Yue ponder for a moment and start writing again.
What was she doing? Shan Chen’s eyes almost popped out of his head.
However, this question that Shan Chen felt that no one could have written independently was actually very familiar to Shan Yue.
No, it wasn’t just that it looked familiar. Shan Yue remembered that a few years ago, the organization had seen that she had nothing better to do, so they had assigned her a task that, in her opinion, was ridiculously simple and easy, but with a real bounty of millions—solving mathematical problems.
At that time, Shan Yue only spent a day to solve the problem perfectly. After handing in the mission, the bounty was quickly transferred to her.
At that time, she was very happy and felt that earning money was easier than eating. The math question that was worth millions was the fifth question that Shan Chen was using to test her.
Later on, it seemed that they had heard that a group of mathematicians had entrusted the organization with this mission. They had even won a prize for answering the questions that Shan Yue had written. Shan Yue did not care about those empty titles and did not continue to follow up.
This was too coincidental and too convenient! As soon as Shan Yue remembered the solution to this question, she started writing on the paper.
At 5 minutes and 2 seconds, Shan Yue finished writing the entire paper and inserted the cap of the pen into the cap. At the same time, she looked up at Shan Chen and said in embarrassment, “It’s been too long since I’ve seen the fifth question. I can’t remember some of the procedures clearly. I can only roughly write it down. The answer should be right.”
