Chapter 349: Chapter 129: Truth Is More Important Than Emotions_3

"Hmm, that kind of slightly sweet soy milk, I really like drinking it."

"Then there’s no problem. If Senior Brother likes it, I’ll definitely like it too."

...

Qiao Yu experienced for the first time that playing is indeed a very tiring thing, even more tiring than solving math problems.

After eating a rich and delicious breakfast, led by Senior Brother, they wandered around the streets again until the former palace started operating, following the crowd to line up and go inside. Then they spent almost the entire day wandering in the former royal mansion.

Sitting in the seat at the National Grand Theater, he only felt his legs were numb. He also understood why after two days of playing, it was considerate to let him rest for a day.

Really, if it weren’t for Senior Brother Luo’s strong recommendation to watch the drama on stage, he would have already wanted to go home after touring the royal mansion.

Fortunately, the play performed on the stage of the National Grand Theater didn’t disappoint him.

By the time they got back to Yanbei University, it was already ten at night, and Qiao Yu even didn’t bother to wash up and went straight to sleep.

Luckily, young people’s bodies recover quickly, and after resting for a day on the second day, he was fully recharged by the third day at the foot of the Great Wall.

But this time Qiao Yu got smart. He did his homework and chose a less popular route instead of the one everyone likes, starting from Juyong Pass and taking the east route. Reaching Nan Pass Tower, he turned back... resolutely avoiding the west route.

This journey was obviously much more relaxed.

Standing on the tower, Qiao Yu specifically took a photo with Senior Brother Luo and posted it on Weibo, with a caption: The mountain need not be high; if dragons reside, then it’s divine.

Luo Jingrong glanced at it and said, "Isn’t that quote wrong?"

Qiao Yu nodded and said spiritedly, "Yes, the original is ’The mountain need not be high; if a god resides, then it’s renowned; the water need not be deep; if dragons reside, then it’s divine.’ But we’re on the mountain, and a ’god’ doesn’t really suit us, so I had to change it, right, Senior Brother? Besides, who dares to say there are no dragons or phoenixes on the mountain?"

Luo Jingrong felt speechless yet somehow proud, but he still reminded, "If you post on Weibo like this, you’ll definitely get scolded."

Qiao Yu laughed and said, "Let them scold. Even if they call me a fool, they can’t change the fact that I got full marks in the Chinese test during the secondary exams. Anyway, I never look at Weibo. Plus, letting a broad group gain a sense of superiority by despising my cultural level, don’t you think it’s very meaningful?"

Although not understanding where the meaning lay, Luo Jingrong didn’t say anything further.

Maybe the thoughts of geniuses are slightly different from those of ordinary people like him.

In fact, Luo Jingrong’s worry wasn’t unnecessary.

The comment section on Weibo indeed had many people mocking it.

Of course, just as Qiao Yu said, he didn’t care, and even felt delighted to bring more people a sense of superiority.

He even replied to the netizen who first pointed out the error: "So that’s how it is, I haven’t read a Chinese textbook in a while and got it mixed up..."

If someone is smart enough, they should occasionally expose their foolish side in front of the public. After all, maintaining a high-end persona before the masses is very tiring. The genius side only needs to be known by a few people.

Besides, after a short break, he really had to get to work, and couldn’t spare time for something like Weibo.

...

Huaqing and Pan Jingyuan have had a bit of a rough time lately, and most of it is thanks to Qiao Yu.

Think about it, when a paper solving a heavyweight topic was about to be published in a journal, and even the main reviewers gave a positive review, they were hit with a blow just when they were about to hold a celebration banquet.

And what’s more, the person was from their own math research center’s collaborative training. It’s hard to feel good.

What’s even more frustrating is that Qiao Yu’s angle of discovering the problem was particularly tricky.

So these days, the entire research team has been working hard to find relevant materials quickly to patch up this loophole.

He mainly pulled out some proof routes that were temporarily abandoned during previous research and tried using these methods to mend the disruption of this kind of special singularity on the high-level category axiom system.

The workload here is immense, as you can imagine.

There’s no way around it. When one road is blocked, you must find another way. After all, the problem is there, and you can’t possibly give up years of effort.

Actually, Pan Jingyuan suggested bringing Qiao Yu into the team to help them fix the loophole. Indeed, this is quite a common practice.

When a heavyweight paper has its flaws exposed by some mathematician, the team often invites the discovering mathematician into the group to figure out how to overcome the challenge together. But for this issue, the team hasn’t reached a consensus internally.

His mentor, Danis, maintained a positive attitude about it, but the other two main team members have been indecisive, and Pan Jingyuan had to put this suggestion on hold temporarily.

Honestly, when it comes to the kid Qiao Yu, Pan Jingyuan really bore no negative feelings.

Though his interaction with Qiao Yu wasn’t long, Pan Jingyuan actually had a good impression of him.

Politeness is expected at the age of sixteen, not to mention Qiao Yu is very trustworthy in daily life, respecting professors’ time, for example.

Alright, this should also be basic student etiquette, but as they say, the fear of comparison...
