Super God-Level Top Student

The girl shook her head and said, "No, Hudson, this has only strengthened my determination to see Huaxia for myself. I just find it all the more interesting."

The old man was silent for a moment, then shrugged and said, "Well then, okay, I've already written you a letter of recommendation; next is just waiting for approval. By the way, once you get to Xilin University of Technology, could you find some excuse to give that guy named Qiao Ze a good punch for me?

Just one punch, trust me, yes, even though he's a man, and a young man at that, men in mathematics usually have poor fighting skills, and he definitely won't be able to withstand yours."

The girl rolled her eyes at this not so excessive request, stood up, and said, "Alright, Anderson, just over a bottle of Porto..."

"No no no, it's a '92 Porto," corrected the old man.

"Okay, a '92 Porto then. I'll send you a bottle when I leave."

"Hanna, although the wine you send will certainly be aromatic, forget it. I'd rather have Henry's bottle. You don't understand men. Do you think all I'm drinking is the wine? No, it's the taste of victory after slaying an enemy chief and enjoying the spoils of war!" Anderson waved his hand, refusing the girl's kindness.

"So... Anderson, I'll try to convince Henry to mail the bottle over. He should keep his promise."

"Oh? And how do you plan to convince him?"

"For instance, I could promise him that if I truly reach the heights he mentioned, winning those honors, I could mention his name during my acceptance speech on stage."

"No! Absolutely not! I'd rather give up the spoils of war!"

"You're mistaken, Anderson. I merely promised to mention his name; I didn't pledge to say what. For example, I can say, 'I'm very grateful to Henry for all his incorrect guidance, which allowed me to see the clues to success within failure.'

These words made Anderson Will's eyes light up, and he gave a thumbs-up: "That's a fantastic idea, Hanna, just like that. I truly hope I live long enough to witness that moment. Believe me, it will definitely be the most thrilling moment of my life. If you really say that, I will rush to the stage to embrace you; I certainly will!"

Hanna glanced at the old man dancing with joy and said, "No, I don't need that; I'd just like you to handle that damn application and visa as soon as possible."

"Alright, I get it, trust me, it will be quick! You know? If it were someone else, the school's bureaucratic system would drag on, but haven't you forgotten? My dear little Anderson is a member of the board of directors. Those bureaucrats will give me face. Rest assured, I guarantee the fastest speed.

Of course, you too must promise that, if you ever win a Fields Medal or any other award, you must say that during the banquet."

"Yes, I swear by the name of God, if there ever comes a day, I will surely do as promised."

Hanna reluctantly committed.

There was no helping it; these old men really needed to be coaxed earnestly if you wanted their sincere help.

Huaxia, Xilin City.

Just as Li Jiangao had hoped, once he published those watermarks, after an initial uproar, everyone eventually quieted down.

What else could they do?

It wasn't like they could scrutinize Qiao Ze's paper for flaws every day, right?

Mathematicians are no different from normal people, just slightly smarter, but they all have their own pursuits and lives. It's not possible to focus one's energy on a single point all the time.

To avoid drawing excessive attention to Qiao Ze, Li Jiangao even chose to hold back several papers from his research group from being published for the time being.

It wasn't out of fear of being scooped by another team.

There were not many teams worldwide who were conducting related research, not to mention Qiao Ze had already produced concrete results.

Even if other teams started research in this area based on the theory presented in Qiao Ze's first paper, it would take years to achieve any results.

That's why Li Jiangao had the confidence to plan a delay of two to three months before publishing the papers Qiao Ze had accumulated.

After all, too much exposure in a short time is certainly great for the university, but not necessarily for Qiao Ze.

Qiao Ze had no objections, and naturally, no one else in the team did either.

So, as summer vacation began, the campus gradually became quiet, and the external environment started to become less hectic.

Perhaps the greatest gain for Qiao Ze was that, with this first appearance, his name, as Li JIangao had said, left a deep impression on many mathematicians and journal editors. He was no longer the unknown high school student whose papers might be deleted without a glance and sent straight to the trash bin.

On the contrary, many top-tier SCI journals had already put his name on their priority list.

After all, which editor-in-chief wouldn't like a young mathematician who produced a high quantity and quality of papers and could easily attract public attention with his clever tricks?

Qiao Ze had only published two papers, yet their download volume had already surpassed the lifetime sum of many professors, and their citation count started to break double digits in just a few days. This was very good news for the journals.

Even if this also seemed to suggest that the trend of diluting academic articles was becoming rampant. But one always has to look on the bright side of things.
