"Xiao Yu'er, come here, if you've got this problem down, then I'll give you another one," Jiang Che said with a grin, his arm wrapped around Shen Yu's waist.
Shen Yu couldn't hold back anymore. What are you trying to do?
Don't come any closer~~~
"This problem is simple, and it's also a famous one in the world of mathematics. Have you heard of the 'Seven Bridges Problem'?"
That's right, Jiang Che had thrown yet another mathematical puzzle at Shen Yu!
The Seven Bridges Problem, originally known as the Königsberg Bridges Problem, was a question posed by the mathematical genius Euler, laying the foundation for the development of topology.
Without waiting for Shen Yu's consent, Jiang Che proceeded to explain the problem in its entirety to the poor girl.
[Ding! Host has triggered a long-term side quest: Prove the 'Unsolvability of the Seven Bridges Problem.']
[Quest reward: 500,000 Academic Points, deadline: 3 months.]
Shen Yu was completely dumbfounded. She had never hated a man so much in her life!
Jiang Che, who had overheard Shen Yu's inner thoughts, let out a sinister chuckle.
Come on, darling, let Brother Jiang fill you up with mathematical puzzles!
In his previous life, Jiang Che had been a bit of a womanizer, but he also had some knowledge of mathematics. After all, knowing more meant he could impress the ladies, right?
The Academic God System was indeed impressive, but what if I were to pull out something like the 'Millennium Prize Problems'? How would you handle that?
[Ding! Host has triggered a long-term, permanent quest: Solve the 'Goldbach Conjecture.']
[Reward: 5 million Academic Points, duration: permanent.]
[Ding! Host has triggered a long-term, permanent quest: Solve the 'Poincaré Conjecture.']
[Reward: 5 million Academic Points, duration: permanent.]
[Ding! Host's main quest has been updated: Solve the 'Langlands Program,' completing the grand unified theory of mathematics.]
[Reward: 20 million Academic Points, duration: permanent.]
Shen Yu was utterly numb, leaning against Jiang Che's chest, her eyes gradually losing their sparkle.
She had truly been broken by Jiang Che—or more accurately, her Academic God System had been broken by him. Even her main quest had been altered!
Shen Yu had only obtained the Academic God System a few months ago and hadn't even had time to grow into it before these mountains of tasks came crashing down on her!
It was like a pro player starting a new account to show off, only to run into the final boss right after leaving the beginner's village.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how's that, Xiao Yu'er? Am I good to you?"
Shen Yu: "......"
After what felt like an eternity, Shen Yu finally snapped out of her daze.
"Jiang Che, are you a transmigrator?"
Hearing this, Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. Shen Yu always had a way of saying the most shocking things!
But this didn't faze him. He snapped his fingers with a smile.
"Smart, truly worthy of being a little academic prodigy. Your insight is impressive. The problems I gave you are all famous mathematical puzzles from another world."
"How about that? Surprised? Shocked?"
Shen Yu's mentality was on the verge of collapse!
She clenched her fists tightly. He really thought highly of her, using the most challenging mathematical problems from another world to test her!
Seeing the girl he had driven to the brink of despair, Jiang Che felt even more pleased. He leaned down and kissed Shen Yu's cheek.
"My little academic prodigy, what school do you want to attend in the future? Why not go to the same one as me?"
Shen Yu didn't respond, only gripping the hem of her clothes tightly.
"Haha... Out of the century-old problems I gave you, the Poincaré Conjecture and the Goldbach Conjecture have already been solved. If you can't figure them out... you can always come to me for hints!"
With that, Jiang Che left with a laugh.
Of course, he was just bluffing. He wasn't a professional mathematician, and there was no way he could understand these complex problems.
But that didn't stop him from boasting!
After all, when you're out in the world, your identity is what you make of it.
Watching Jiang Che's arrogant retreating figure, Shen Yu felt another crack form in her resolve.
The girl's shoulders shivered slightly, and she couldn't help but recall the scene of Jiang Che explaining the problems to her. The image lingered in her mind, and a faint blush appeared on her pale cheeks.
"Jerk~"
Shen Yu muttered under her breath, then shook her head to rid herself of the sinful thoughts.
......
"Stupid Jiang Che, I'm going to bite you to death!"
"Rawr ┗|｀O′|┛"
Just as Jiang Che reached the stairwell, a petite figure crashed into his arms and bit down on his arm.
"Are you a damn dog or something?"
Jiang Che picked up Yu Wan'er, but the little loli continued to gnaw on his arm without letting go.
"Huh? Have I been feeding you too well? You've gained some weight."
Yu Wan'er was furious. "You're the one who's fat!"
Jiang Che smirked. "See? You let go."
Yu Wan'er: "......"
She had been tricked.
"Wan'er, you're not jealous, are you? Seeing me all lovey-dovey with Shen Yu? Feeling a bit envious?"
Yu Wan'er snorted. "Don't flatter yourself. Why would I be jealous of you? I'm just standing up for Sister Yao and Sister Qiao. They like you so much... and yet you're such a playboy!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm a playboy, and I'm here to tease little brats like you."
"Who's a little brat!!!" Yu Wan'er puffed out her cheeks, looking like an angry pufferfish.
She didn't know what "little brat" meant, but it didn't sound like a compliment.
"Alright, alright, calm down. How about I take you skipping class to the ski resort?"
At the mention of the ski resort, Yu Wan'er's eyes lit up instantly.
Yu Wan'er, this little loli, had always been in the top three of her grade before Jiang Che came along. But now... she seemed to have turned into a delinquent.
Skipping class had become a regular occurrence, with her missing school two or three days a week on average.
"Heh..." Jiang Che patted Yu Wan'er's fluffy head. This naive little loli was so easy to fool.
...
Meanwhile, at Yuanche Pharmaceutical.
Jiang Yuan, the company's CEO, had urgently called a meeting. The purpose was simple: to discuss the transfer of company shares.
Although he had previously said he would wait until Jiang Che graduated to transfer the shares, Jiang Yuan couldn't wait any longer. He was eager to retire and travel the world with his wife. That kind of life... just thinking about it felt wonderful!
Yuanche Pharmaceutical was currently the largest privately-owned pharmaceutical company in Dragon Country!
Although it was nominally a private enterprise, it had the backing of the Dragon Country government.
The transfer of the company's chairmanship was naturally a matter of great importance!
All the company's shareholders were present.
Jiang Yuan sat at the head of the table, dressed in a black suit, exuding a completely different aura from the one Jiang Che was familiar with.
It was the kind of presence that came from being in a position of power for a long time.
"Everyone, the purpose of today's meeting is to discuss my retirement. I plan to transfer all my shares to my son, Jiang Che."
The room erupted in an uproar!
