Chapter 36: Genius, I’ll Treat You to a Meal!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao were all stunned.

What did they just hear?

Teacher Tiantian invited Lin Fan to her office!

Lin Fan was going to be alone with Teacher Tiantian in a room?

Then, they suddenly thought of how Tiantian had suddenly walked to their seats during class as if she was looking for something.

They finally understood what Tiantian was looking for!

She was actually looking for Lin Fan!

“Brother fan, I’m on my knees!” Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao all howled in unison.

…

In the office.

Hu Tian’s office desk was filled with many documents and books, but they were all arranged in an extremely neat manner.

At this moment, Hu Tian was sitting in front of her desk, thinking seriously and calculating carefully.

Knock, knock, knock!

At this moment, there were light knocks on the door.

“Please come in,” Hu Tian said.

When she saw that it was Lin Fan, Hu Tian’s pretty face broke into a smile.

“You’re here. Please take a seat.”

Then, Hu Tian stood up and said, “What do you want to drink? I have green tea, black tea, and coffee here.”

Hu Tian was wearing a beige dress today, which showed off her exquisite curves vividly and thoroughly.

“Green tea,” Lin Fan said.

“Alright,” she said.

Very quickly, a cup of fragrant green tea was served to Lin Fan.

Hu Tian took out a stack of draft paper, on which she had written a dense number of calculations. She said, “You calculated this last time, p^q+2m =3Q-2p^n.

“I’ve been doing some calculations over the past few days.”

After she finished speaking, Hu Tian handed over a stack of draft paper, which was also filled with arithmetic formulas.

“Lin Fan, is there a problem with my calculations? By the way, to what position have you derived?” Hu Tian asked.

To what position?

‘I haven’t cared about the Twin Prime Number Conjecture at all these days.’

Lin Fan felt a little embarrassed. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he silently looked at the draft paper in front of him.

However, for a world-class problem like the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, even with Lin Fan’s Professor-Level Mathematics Experience, it was still extremely difficult to verify and further derive it on the spot.

Then, Lin Fan suddenly thought of the skill level-up card.

[Do you want to level up your Professor-Level Mathematics Experience?]

‘Yes!’ Lin Fan muttered in his heart.

[Ding! The upgrade was successful! Congratulations, you’ve received Academician-Level Mathematics Experience.]

Instantly, when Lin Fan flipped through the draft paper in front of him again, everything immediately looked much simpler.

He quickly picked up a pen and paper and started writing.

“2m +4n^5- 8q =7y^2Q-3z^8. There’s a problem with your calculations,” Lin Fan said.

Hu Tian could not help but look over.

In the next moment, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

In fact, when Lin Fan was at Hilton Hotel, she had seen his handwriting when he solved Zhou’s Conjecture.

Not long ago, Lin Fan solved a problem on the blackboard in the classroom and discussed the Twin Prime Number Conjecture with Hu Tian in public.

At that time, Lin Fan’s handwriting was very ordinary. In fact, it was even a little ugly.

What was the situation now?

Be it numbers, letters, characters, or Chinese characters, Lin Fan wrote them all like he was a calligraphy master.

Even though Hu Tian was a math teacher, she also liked calligraphy.

In her opinion, good calligraphy could give people endless enjoyment.

At that moment, Lin Fan saw that Hu Tian was silent and thought that she did not understand.

“If you reverse-engineer the answer, you’ll find that it’s wrong,” he reminded her.

Only then did Hu Tian come back to her senses. She picked up a pen and paper and began to calculate according to Lin Fan’s instructions.

As expected, the calculation was different from the original one. The calculation was wrong!

Lin Fan said, “Actually, we can add in the first part of the equation.”

As Lin Fan spoke, he quickly wrote down the question on the draft paper.

Scratch, scratch, scratch.

Immediately, the entire office was filled with a rapid and rhythmic knocking sound.

Hu Tian, who was sitting at the side, looked at Lin Fan’s focused expression and the lines of beautiful and exquisite calculations he wrote. For a moment, she was a little entranced.

Very quickly, the entire draft paper was used up, and Lin Fan stopped writing.

“Teacher Tiantian, what do you think?” he turned to ask.

Only then did Hu Tian snap back to her senses. She carefully observed the calculation process and nodded slightly.

Lin Fan said, “Okay, then let’s continue to deduce.”

Lin Fan only stopped after he had filled a dozen pieces of paper with complicated equations.

“For now, I can only calculate up to this point,” he said helplessly.

Even with Lin Fan’s Academician-Level Mathematics Experience, if he did not trigger a flash of inspiration, he would not be able to solve the Twin Prime Number Conjecture.

After all, this was a world-class problem that had not been solved for more than a hundred years!

Hu Tian, who was sitting at the side, was completely dumbfounded as she looked at the dozens of pages of calculations.

If Lin Fan could only solve one-tenth of the Twin Prime Number Conjecture in class, he would surely be able to solve it.

He had directly deduced half of it now!

How many days had it been?

He was actually able to achieve this?

Was he holding back in class? Or was it the result of his research and calculations over the past few days?

A genius!

No matter what the reason was, Lin Fan was a genius—an absolute genius!

“Lin Fan, you really are a genius!” Hu Tian exclaimed in admiration.

“Teacher, you’re overpraising me.” Lin Fan laughed.

Hu Tian looked out the window at the completely dark sky and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Previously, he was only concerned with the derivation and did not feel hungry.

Now that food was brought up, Lin Fan was feeling a little hungry.

“I’ll take you up on your offer,” Lin Fan said.

Hu Tian’s car was a minicar. It was small and cute, and the interior was exquisite.

After sitting in the car, a faint fragrance surrounded his nose, making him feel very comfortable.

Not long after, Hu Tian and Lin Fan arrived at a quiet and elegant Western restaurant.

The restaurant was located on the 26th floor of the Zhongshang Building.

Sitting in the restaurant, one could see the neon lights of Jiangbei city through the French windows, as well as the bright stars and moon in the night sky. It was a beautiful sight.

Hu Tian pushed the menu in front of Lin Fan, indicating that he did not need to stand on ceremony and could order the food that he liked.

“It’s my first time at this restaurant, so I don’t know what’s good. Can you recommend something?” Lin Fan asked.

Hu Tian thought for a moment and said, “The filet steak here is cooked to 30% medium. It’s fragrant on the outside and chewy on the inside. It tastes pretty good.

“The tenderloin with potato is different from other places. You can try it too.

“Also, the Black Rose is their family’s homemade wine. It’s a specialty of the restaurant. You can try it.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Teacher Tiantian.” Lin Fan nodded.

Then, Hu Tian also ordered a few dishes and placed her order.
