Super God-Level Top Student

In fact, Li Jian Gao wanted to help Qiao Ze set up a communication group also because he was worried about the currently rather harsh external environment.

Qiao Ze had risen too quickly. Coupled with his exceptional talents, Li Jian Gao really wasn't comfortable with letting Qiao Ze go abroad like others to study and exchange for a period of time, to be exposed to different academic schools. So, he hoped to complete this step through the internet.

After all, mathematics truly is the game of those with high intelligence, and it's globally recognized that communication is especially important in the field of mathematics because the "complementation" between mathematicians could genuinely lead to new mathematics.

Seeking novelty and change was precisely what Qiao Ze had been diligently pondering and pursuing.

Furthermore, since Qiao Ze had always been self-taught, he really didn't know which methods of communication would suit him best. So, he didn't mind giving it a try.

Speaking of which, Li Jian Gao really regarded Qiao Ze as a father might, poor and not quite knowing how to raise children, always trying to give Qiao Ze the best of everything he could offer, despite the poverty and lack of understanding.

There was no helping it, after all. Even if Li Jian Gao lacked experience in guiding a talent like Qiao Ze, probably any seasoned professor would be inexperienced as well. Experience more tales on empire

"Let's go, time to eat."

Once Su Mu Cheng and Chen Yiwen had gotten familiar with the new place, Qiao Ze temporarily put aside what he was doing and stood up.

Updating the original system required a substantial amount of code.

Not to mention that even after writing it, several rounds of testing were needed before it could be used.

There wasn't a need to rush, anyway.

"How about it, to celebrate our research group moving to a new place, why don't we go out for a big meal today to celebrate? Remember that restaurant outside the east gate we went to at noon that day? We only had the roast lamb leg then; how about we go for roast lamb chops today?"

Qiao Ze nodded in agreement.

"Should we invite your mom along?"

Qiao Ze shook his head, "My mom has enrolled in a class; she can't make it."

"Ah? What is Auntie learning now?"

"The school arranged a job for her at the activity center, she needs to learn how to use basic office software," he replied.

"Oh, then let's go!"

...

Crossing through the tranquil campus, the three quickly arrived at the roast lamb restaurant that Su Mu Cheng had been longing for—Bart Roast Lamb Leg.

When the three walked into the restaurant, the proud Austrian girl from yesterday was already sitting in a corner, waiting for them.

Seeing them enter, she immediately stood up and waved at them.

A beaming Su Mu Cheng turned her head and playfully stuck her tongue out at Qiao Ze.

Qiao Ze simply nodded slightly, not surprised in the least.

He understood Su Mu Cheng well.

If they hadn't made plans earlier, she wouldn't have spoken favorably about Hanna in front of him just now.

He didn't feel offended in the slightest.

Qiao Ze himself had no ill feelings towards Hanna, nor any particular affection.

Just as Su Mu Cheng had analyzed before, to Qiao Ze, Hanna was just another person on the street.

If Li Jian believed that communication was useful, he didn't mind getting to know what these peers thought about mathematics.

To see if their mathematical thinking could really inspire him.

But that was it.

Qiao Ze didn't really mind people being proud in front of him, but he felt that to display such pride, one first needed the capital to justify it.

That's why he had still answered Hanna with three words "irrational numbers" the day before.

If she couldn't even understand those three words, it meant this woman didn't have the right to be too proud.

Qiao Ze's logic had always been so clear-cut.

...

"Hello."

Once the three of them sat down together, Hanna greeted them in Chinese, managing her attitude and expression quite properly.

Today, with the help of the school, she had procured a Huaxia mobile and bank card, and then she applied for a WeChat account.

The first friend she added was Su Mu Cheng.

Being a cheery person, Su Mu Cheng had actually chatted quite a lot with her today on WeChat.

When Hanna learned from Su Mu Cheng's description that Qiao Ze had written his first paper in just an afternoon and that he had written a total of six papers in half a month, with several more being withheld by Li Jian for not being published, Hanna initially thought Su Mu Cheng was joking with her.

After all, Hanna wasn't the same as Qiao Ze.

For a student who had entered a world-renowned university through normal examinations and recommendations and studied under a famous mathematician, Hanna knew many incredibly talented doctoral and master's students in her young generation, and she would often be taken by her mentor to various conferences to interact with others.

Her WhatsApp indeed had many young mathematicians from various global universities added as friends. Just like people in Huaxia's universities would create various WeChat groups, Hanna had many WhatsApp groups where they would vent about their schools, about the difficulties of publishing papers, and about the excessively insane graduation requirements.

Of course, they would also discuss certain problems.

So Hanna understood what it meant to write top-notch papers in such a short period.

To be honest, Hanna didn't quite believe Su Mu Cheng's descriptions.

Because they seemed somewhat inhuman.

But when she used her previous phone number to log onto the foreign internet and got a rough idea of the scale of the discussions provoked by the two papers Qiao Ze had published in "Science," and even saw how they were aggressively reported by technology media like TechCrunch and The Verge, she began to doubt.

Just looking at the publishing dates, four world-class papers in just over a month, and before publishing the first paper, Qiao Ze had been an unknown newcomer in the mathematics community. Most crucially, he was only eighteen this year, four years younger than her.
