La forgeronne d'un autre monde

Chapitre 88

"What is it?" Ma Yunteng was slightly taken aback.

"The questions for Peking University's independent admissions this time seem to be quite easy. I need to come up with a new set later. Could you help me log in to the website and sign in for the video lessons?"

"This video lesson is being streamed live by my tutor from abroad. The VTG Panama Mathematics Finals are coming up soon, so my tutor is going to give the five of us extra tutoring. You don't have to do anything else, just go up and sign in!" Lin Shike blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly, handing him the iPad Pro next to her.

"Sure! Is there a benefit?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shike took advantage of his inattention and lightly kissed him on the cheek before running into a bedroom in a panic.

Seeing Lin Shike's shy expression, Ma Yunteng nodded in satisfaction and immediately opened the webpage, which Lin Shike had already set up for her.

As Lin Shike requested, Ma Yunteng quickly found the sign-in area, clicked on it without saying a word, placed his iPad on the table, and took out his phone to ask about the situation in Jiangnan.

Just then, Lin Shike, the mentor, disappeared from the screen.

A title suddenly appeared on the entire screen:

Homework assignment: Prove Goldbach's Conjecture (1+3)!

"Huh? This question looks familiar?" Ma Yunteng took out a cigarette and took a leisurely puff, quickly scanning the question with his eyes.

"Strange, what kind of question is this? I can't figure out the answer at a glance?"

Ma Yunteng quickly retrieved a stack of papers from under the table and began frantically calculating, muttering to himself as he did so:

"Holy crap, this is weird! I have an IQ of 150 and I still can't figure it out!"

"That's interesting!"

"Why is it so difficult?!"

"C! That's so hard!"

Ten minutes passed, and the draft paper next to Ma Yunteng had piled up more than twenty times, each sheet covered with dense, black writing.

"This question is much harder than the college entrance exam!"

Ma Yunteng had been calculating for almost twenty minutes, and sweat was beading on his forehead: "Shi Ke's tutor is really a monster! He actually set such a difficult question. Peking University is indeed full of monsters!"

Half an hour had passed, and the scratch paper next to him had piled up into a small mountain, but he still had no idea how to solve the problem!

The question was titled "Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture 1+3!" Ma Yunteng had never encountered this kind of knowledge before, but through logical reasoning, he vaguely felt that in order to prove 1+3, he had to prove the preceding 1+1 and 1+2!

After clarifying his thoughts, Ma Yunteng tried to prove it again. This time, he was less impetuous and patiently started proving it from 1+1.

The process of proving 1+1 took him ten minutes, and the process of proving 1+2 took him 15 minutes.

A look of relief appeared on his face, and he immediately began to prove 1+3.

"So that's how it is!" Ma Yunteng's eyes lit up, and he took out another piece of draft paper and started calculating quickly.

What are you doing?

After washing the dishes, Mu Qianxue noticed the mountain of draft papers piled up next to Ma Yunteng and teased, "Little brother, when did you become obsessed with painting? What are you drawing? Is it abstract art?"

Mu Qianxue casually picked up a sheet of scrap paper and said disdainfully, "If you're going to draw, then draw properly! Your drawing has absolutely no aesthetic appeal! I could draw better than you!"

After saying that, Mu Qianxue turned around and went into Lin Shike's room, but the latter was busy making exam papers and didn't have time to pay attention to her. Feeling bored, Mu Qianxue took a shower and went to sleep in a random bedroom.

It took Ma Yunteng a full half hour to finally finish proving 1+3.

"It's too difficult! It's just too difficult!" Looking at the five sheets of paper covered in secret, Ma Yunteng shook his head speechlessly.

"Fine, that's it!" He tried to find other ways to prove it, but all of them ended in failure.

Ma Yunteng picked up his iPad, took clear photos of the five pages of answers, and sent them to Lin Shike's tutor's email address, as required by the homework assignment.

"Done!"

With a long sigh of relief, Ma Yunteng walked towards Lin Shike's bedroom. He had helped her finish all her homework, so he should take credit and ask for a reward—it would be a waste of his brain cells!

"Knock knock knock!" Ma Yunteng knocked on the door, but a minute passed and there was no response from inside.

Shaking his head in frustration, Ma Yunteng suddenly felt exhausted and sleepy, so he headed towards the bathroom.

"We've only just started dating and you're already thinking... I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"

A captivating smile played on Lin Shike's lips as she murmured shyly. Then, she looked at the exam paper again. She had to finish this set of exam papers tonight because tomorrow morning was the day for Peking University's independent admissions exam. She was not only responsible for preparing the exam papers, but also for proctoring the exams tomorrow morning.

After a quick wash, Ma Yunteng went to bed in a random bedroom. Perhaps because they had drunk cocktails that night, all three of them slept very quietly.

Nothing was said that night.

The next morning at eight o'clock, the three of them were having breakfast.

"Shike, shall we go shopping?" Mu Qianxue suggested.

"No, I'm so busy today. I have to proctor exams this morning and grade papers this afternoon!" This independent admission process was specifically assigned to her by her advisor, and she dared not neglect it.

"Alright!" Mu Qianxue didn't want to force the issue, so she looked at her cousin who was drinking milk and asked, "What about you, cousin? What are you going to do later?"

“NVV just called me. The renovation plan for Weiming Lake officially started today, and they need me to go over and give them some pointers!” Ma Yunteng said.

Just then, Lin Shike's phone rang. A minute later, Lin Shike looked at Ma Yunteng and said, "Honey, are you free tonight?"
