Chapter 84: Holding the Admission Notice of Jingcheng University, Going Home to Visit the Graves! (Part 1/2)

“Professor Lu, I have already helped derive five formulas. When can we expect the verification results?” On the way home, Tang Feng asked.

“Unless there’s an unexpected issue, it should be out in a week,” Lu Tao answered.

“Ah? Really? Does it take that long?” Tang Feng was somewhat surprised.

“Is a week long? After the verification results are out, we need to conduct multiple verifications. Only by doing so can we ensure the verification results are correct,” Lu Tao explained.

“Tang Feng, as you know, the Riemann hypothesis is a world-class mathematical problem. It has been unproven for more than a hundred years. Moreover, your proof process is ultimately to be published in a journal. So, we are naturally very cautious during verification. Otherwise, if there is any oversight, it would become a joke,” Zhang Wei added.

“I understand what you mean. Once the verification results are out, Professor Lu, please do inform me,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Don’t worry! As soon as the verification results are out, I will immediately notify you,” Lu Tao promised.

“Tang Feng, if your proof process is verified to be correct, which journal do you plan to publish your paper in?” Zhang Wei asked with interest.

“Doesn’t Jingcheng University have an academic journal? Just publish it there,” Tang Feng decided without any hesitation.

“Tang Feng, perhaps you are not very familiar with academic journals. The impact factor of Jingcheng University’s academic journal is not high. This means that it’s very possible that your paper won’t be cited many times, and it might even affect your academic career,” Lu Tao kindly reminded him.

“I know,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “But I still want to publish the paper in Jingcheng University’s academic journal. I believe that in the near future, this academic journal of Jingcheng University will definitely become the top in the world in mathematics.”

“If that’s the case, after we go back, we will report to Academician Gao. He is currently the editor-in-chief of this academic journal,” seeing his insistence, Lu Tao no longer said anything.

Anyway, the proof Tang Feng completed was of the Riemann hypothesis, which would have a significant impact regardless of which academic journal it was published in.

Of course, Tang Feng’s action would also elevate the status of Jingcheng University’s academic journal in the mathematical community.

After a bumpy ride, they arrived in Binjiang District at nine in the evening.

“Professor Lu, please drop Su Xiaoli home first,” Tang Feng took the initiative to suggest.

Lu Tao nodded and dropped Su Xiaoli off at her home.

Su Xiaoli said goodbye to them and then got out of the car.

Then, Lu Tao drove Tang Feng home.

“Professor Lu, Professor Zhang, would you like to come up and sit for a while?” Tang Feng invited.

“No thanks!” Lu Tao waved his hand and said, “It’s late! You better get some rest!”

Seeing this, Tang Feng didn’t insist.

After bidding farewell, Lu Tao drove away with Zhang Wei.

However, this time he didn’t choose to rush back to Jingcheng overnight but stayed in a nearby guesthouse for the night.

When Tang Feng got home, he found that his parents were not there.

Feeling a bit hungry, he went into the kitchen and made a bowl of noodles with gravy.

Just as he was halfway through his meal, Tang Long and his wife walked in.

“Little Feng, when did you get back?” Tang Feng’s mother was surprised to see her son.

“I just got back not long ago,” Tang Feng answered.

“Is Xiaoli not with you? Didn’t she come back with you?” Tang Feng’s mother continued to ask.

“I had Professor Lu drop her off at her home first.”

“Professor Lu took you to Jingcheng, what was it for?” Tang Long asked with interest.

“I had previously proved the Riemann hypothesis! It involved five formulas they couldn’t derive, so they asked me to go over and explain,” Tang Feng responded.

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing. The formulas you used, even the professors at Jingcheng University don’t know?” Tang Long was almost unable to believe his ears.

“I didn’t expect them not to know either. If I had known they wouldn’t be able to, I would have definitely written out the derivation process of the formulas,” Tang Feng said somewhat helplessly.

Indeed, it wasn’t his fault.

When he was proving the Riemann hypothesis, the formulas he used were all in his mind.

He wielded them effortlessly and with ease.

But he didn’t expect that these formulas would be so difficult for Lu Tao and others!

“Little Feng, based on what you said, isn’t your level in mathematics even higher than that of Professor Lu and the others?” Tang Feng’s mother speculated.

“In some aspects, I suppose I am better than them,” Tang Feng answered.

“Little Feng, you must stay humble! Even if your level in mathematics is indeed higher than others, you can’t show off too much. Especially when you outperform others, even more so,” Tang Long earnestly advised his son.

“I know,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “You mean to keep a high profile in deeds but a low profile in demeanor.”

“Exactly! You’re indeed my son, you get it in one go,” Tang Long was very happy.

Tang Feng didn’t say anything, just chuckled and continued eating his noodles.

After finishing the meal, Tang Feng put down his chopsticks and asked Tang Long, who was sitting by, “Dad, are we going back to our hometown tomorrow?”

“You just got back, why don’t you rest at home tomorrow, and we go the day after tomorrow?” Tang Long suggested.

“No need,” Tang Feng waved his hand and said, “I want to go back early to see grandma and also visit grandpa’s grave.”

“Alright! Since you want to go, we’ll go back to our hometown tomorrow,” Tang Long agreed.

Tang Feng chatted with his parents for a bit more, then went back to his bedroom.

He sent a message to Su Xiaoli, informing her that he would be going back to his hometown tomorrow, so she wouldn’t come looking for him and miss him.

Then, he opened the system control panel.

He looked at his account, which already had 1125 points.

However, he didn’t exchange for any skills or items.

He wanted to save up more to exchange for a martial arts secret manual.

His thought process was simple, although it is a society governed by law and fights and brawls are rare during the day.

But rare doesn’t mean nonexistent.

So, he wanted to improve his fighting skills.

In this way, he could not only protect himself but also his family and friends.

However, just signing in every day to earn points, he didn’t know how long it would take to exchange.

The system really wasn’t helpful.

If only it issued more tasks.

That way, he could earn more points in a shorter amount of time.

Additionally, he wanted to exchange points for a few bottles of Wisdom Potion.

But Wisdom Potions are expensive, costing 3000 points per bottle.

He thought this way.

Although Su Xiaoli’s academic performance is also very good, there is still a significant gap compared to him.

He wanted to exchange for a few bottles of Wisdom Potion for her, to help improve her intelligence.
