This kid managed to offend a whole bunch of people with just one sentence.

As a result, the comments section was indeed lively at this moment.

Even though there were only just over a hundred comments, almost all the active IDs were already showing up.

“Kid, you’re awesome!

So much personality, I like it, just don’t let me find out who you are!

If I find out, I’ll definitely talk to your advisor and bring you over, so you’ll know how ruthless we old guys can be.”

“Oh, I’m being dissed!

But you’ve won this time!

Here’s your chance to be honest, did you have someone helping you?”

“Whose kid is this?

So full of character!

Just admit it, don’t force me to make phone calls one by one!

Too strong!

Even stronger than me!”

“Did he really solve it?!

And it’s correct?

Old Xue, is it you using a fake account to mess with us?”

…

Xue Song pursed his lips, feeling helpless.

Is he really such a boring person?

Plus, he’s past the age of being impetuous, he couldn’t say something so juvenile.

However, as one of the moderators, he immediately accessed the back-end to retrieve this newbie’s login IP record, and sure enough, it was still the one from Xingnan Province, seemingly still online but doing nothing.

It seems that no big shot researching Diophantine equations permanently resides in Xingnan Province.

In that case, this kid is very likely to be a graduate student who hasn’t registered yet.

Without wasting more time reading other people’s replies, Xue Song thought for a moment, then opened the forum’s private chat system and sent a message to this newbie named Yu Jianxiaoqian: “I am Xue Song from Yujiang University, could you leave a contact number?”

Indeed, Xue Song’s heart was moved by this talent.

Although he didn’t know whether this Yu Jianxiaoqian sought help from his advisor during the process of solving this equation, the fact that this guy could derive a numerical solution was enough to prove his high mathematical talent.

Although the other party probably already has an advisor, it might just be for a master’s degree?

The Ph.D.

stage is still open to competition.

Moreover, Xue Song was quite confident.

He wouldn’t speak for other fields, but in the field of Diophantine equations, there’s genuinely hardly anyone in Huaxia whose research can surpass his.

Plus, he believed that since this kid could solve this equation, he must certainly know about him.

Unfortunately, after sending this message, it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no response at all.

Instead, his phone rang again; it was a professor from Yanbei University’s School of Mathematics.

“Hey, Brother Zhiyuan, long time no see.”

Answering the call, Xue Song casually greeted.

“Oh, Old Xue, we’re chatting in the group, why haven’t you said anything?”

“Oh, I’ve set all the groups to Do Not Disturb.”

“Come on, stop playing these games with me, tell me, did you just take in a student from that Xingnan Province area?”

Xue Song smiled wryly.

It seems others’ speculations weren’t much different from his.

“Don’t make jokes, if it were really my student, knowing my nature, I’d have already shown them off to you in the group; am I really afraid of my good seedlings being poached by you guys?”

“Haha, that’s true.

Might it be Old Xiao’s new student then?”

Xue Song naturally knew the ‘Old Xiao’ in Weng Zhiyuan’s words referred to Professor Xiao Liang from Huaqing University, who applied for the Distinguished Young Scholar Project on Integer Theory last year.

However, the relationship between Xue Song and Xiao Liang wasn’t great, they had this mutual disregard for one another, almost to the point of open hostility.

There’s no helping it, mathematicians are just ordinary people too.

Wherever people are, there’s Jianghu, with all the grudges and struggles.

“How would I know?

Isn’t he just across from your school?

You could easily go ask him, couldn’t you?”

“Sigh, I was just asking casually, suddenly there’s this little guy appearing out of nowhere, clearly online but pretending to be dead and not responding, that’s just so impolite.

Once we know who it is, everyone can criticize together, and yeah, check the group sometimes, it’s been a while since it was this lively.

Alright then, not saying more, bye.”

Ending the call, Xue Song took a deep breath but couldn’t resist opening the WeChat group.

Sure enough, the professor’s group chat topics revolved around this newbie.

Many people were indeed asking if he accepted a new disciple, but he didn’t need to answer because Weng Zhiyuan, who just called, already explained it to everyone in the group.

“Just got off the phone, Old Xue said he doesn’t know this newbie either, certainly can’t be his student, otherwise, he’d have boasted to us long ago.”

“Then it’s interesting, you’ve asked around, and everyone says it’s not their student.

Could it really be an undergraduate?!

”

“Impossible, right?

If he’s an undergrad, then that’s simply extraordinary talent.

Solving this globally challenging problem in ten days?

Does your Yanbei Mathematics Institute have undergrads who can achieve this?”

“Heh, I think there might be some kids with that ability, but they just don’t have access to this forum at the moment!”

Seeing Weng Zhiyuan shamelessly say this, Xue Song couldn’t hold back.

“@Old Weng, are you sure Yanbei Mathematics Institute’s undergraduates can independently solve a numerical solution to my equation?

Fine, there are many similar equations, I’ll choose five for your Yanbei Mathematics Institute’s undergraduates to try.

If they can solve just one numerical solution within a month, I’ll personally reward them a hundred thousand!

No upper limit!

Solve all five, I’ll directly give five hundred thousand!”

“Haha, Old Xue, I was just joking, why are you so angry?

Chill, chill.

Seriously though, if undergrads can’t do it, it seems there isn’t anyone domestically that deep in this research area either, right?”

Weng Zhiyuan directly changed the topic.

Although he’s at Yanbei University, he is still just a lecturer and is in a tenure-track position with uncertainty, he really couldn’t afford to get too real with someone like Xue Song whose future seemed so bright.

“Exactly, but everyone can really try solving these kinds of equations, since someone figured it out, we should be able to too.”

“Right, right, we should try!”

Someone began to interject, trying to ease the atmosphere in the group.

But some didn’t even bother, still engrossed in pondering just who this newbie really was.

“Well, it can’t be those big shots, nope, given their status, they shouldn’t say this kind of thing!

Besides, everyone respects them a lot.”

Accompanied by this sentence, the group gradually quieted down.

But the mystery remained unsolved, Xue Song also put down his phone, genuinely curious to know who managed to solve this equation in just a bit over ten days.

Yet, looking back at the forum, no message appeared in the private chat.

No matter who this guy is, he’s just too rude!
