Extra 2: Mathematics is the Most Ideal Lover [Advanced Mathematics Arc] (Supplement for Ally 'Unstoppable Mung Bean Cake')
Pu Ji Academy of Theology, Mathematics Research Institute auditorium. Every seat was filled.
The old dean, Chen Wu, leaned on his cane and finished his routine address. "Next, let us welcome today's guest, our alumnus, the inventor of the Magic Talisman Sandbox, the director of the Sandbox Technology Commercial Research Institute, Malon."

He paused for a moment. "Now I understand. Teacher wanted to show everyone that after studying mathematics, even someone like me, who almost dropped out, could found a research institute, so mathematics has a future. See, because I wasn't good at mathematics, I could only do the first layer, the four basic arithmetic operations, while Teacher is already using me as a differential equation."
Laughter broke out below the stage.
