Genius, Let Me Treat You to a Meal!

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

What had they just heard? Teacher Tian Tian had actually invited Lin Fan to her office! Lin Fan was going to be alone in a room with Teacher Tian Tian?! Then, they suddenly remembered how Teacher Tian Tian had walked over to their seats during class, seemingly searching for something.

Only now did they finally understand what Teacher Tian Tian had been looking for!

She had been looking for Lin Fan!

"Brother Fan, we bow down to you!" Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao howled in unison.

Office.

There were many documents and books on Hu Tian's desk, but everything was arranged impeccably.

At that moment, Hu Tian sat before her desk, thinking seriously and calculating carefully.

Knock, knock, knock!

A light knock sounded from outside.

Hu Tian said, "Come in."

When she saw that it was Lin Fan, a faint smile appeared on Hu Tian's pretty face.

"You're here. Please, have a seat."

Then, Hu Tian stood up and added, "What would you like to drink? I have Green Tea, Black Tea, and coffee."

Hu Tian was wearing an off-white dress today, which perfectly showcased her graceful curves and gave her an elegant charm.

"Green Tea," Lin Fan said.

"Alright," Hu Tian replied.

Very soon, a fragrant cup of Green Tea was placed before Lin Fan.

Hu Tian took out a stack of draft paper covered in densely packed equations and said, "Last time, you calculated up to here: p^q+2m=3q-2p^n..."

"I continued working on it over the past few days..."

After saying that, Hu Tian handed over another stack of draft paper, likewise filled with equations.

"Lin Fan, could you see if there are any problems with my calculations? Oh, and how far have you gotten with the derivation?" Hu Tian asked.

How far had he gotten? He hadn't touched the Twin Prime Conjecture at all these past few days, alright?

Feeling a little embarrassed, Lin Fan did not answer immediately. Instead, he silently looked through the draft papers before him.

But a world-class problem like the Twin Prime Conjecture was extremely difficult to verify and further derive on the spot, even with Lin Fan's Professor-level Mathematics Experience.

Then, Lin Fan suddenly thought of the Skill Level Up Card.

Upgrade Professor-level Mathematics Experience?

"Yes!" Lin Fan silently said to himself.

Ding! Upgrade successful! Congratulations, you have obtained Academician-level Math Experience.

Immediately, when Lin Fan looked through the draft papers again, they became much easier to understand.

Before long, he picked up a pen and began writing rapidly.

"2m+4n^5-8q=7y^2q-3z^8... There's an error in your calculation here," Lin Fan said.

Hu Tian could not help looking over.

The next moment, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly.

In fact, when Lin Fan had solved Zhou's Conjecture on the signing board at the Hilton Hotel, she had already seen his handwriting.

Not long ago, Lin Fan had also solved a problem on the classroom blackboard and publicly discussed the Twin Prime Conjecture with Hu Tian.

At that time, Lin Fan's handwriting had always been quite ordinary—perhaps even a little ugly.

What was going on now? Whether numbers, letters, symbols, or Chinese characters, everything Lin Fan wrote seemed perfectly natural and effortless, like the work of a master calligrapher.

Although Hu Tian was a math teacher, she also loved calligraphy.

In her view, good calligraphy could bring endless enjoyment.

Seeing Hu Tian remain silent, Lin Fan thought she did not quite understand.

So, he reminded her, "If you work backward from the answer later on, you'll find the mistake."

Only then did Hu Tian come back to her senses. Following Lin Fan's suggestion, she picked up her pen and paper and began calculating backward.

Sure enough, the resulting equation differed from the original one. There had indeed been a miscalculation!

"Actually, we can substitute the equation from the beginning into it..." Lin Fan said.

As Lin Fan spoke, equations rapidly filled the draft paper.

Tap tap tap!

At once, a hurried yet rhythmic tapping filled the entire office.

Hu Tian, seated beside him, watched Lin Fan's focused expression and the lines of elegant, intricate equations he wrote, and for a moment, she became absorbed.

Before long, an entire sheet of scratch paper had been used up, and Lin Fan set down his ballpoint pen.

He turned and asked, "Teacher Tian Tian, what do you think?"

Only then did Hu Tian come back to her senses. She carefully examined the calculations and nodded slightly.

Lin Fan said, "Alright, then let's continue the derivation."

Then came one sheet, two sheets, three sheets, four sheets...

Only after more than a dozen sheets of scratch paper had been filled with incredibly complex equations did Lin Fan finally stop.

He said helplessly, "For now, this is as far as I can calculate."

Even with Lin Fan's current Academician-level Math Experience, without triggering a Flash of Inspiration, he still had no way of solving the Twin Prime Conjecture.

After all, this was a world-class problem that had remained unsolved for over a hundred years!

Meanwhile, Hu Tian, sitting beside him and looking at the dozen-plus pages of equations, was completely stunned.

If, during class, Lin Fan had only been able to derive roughly one-tenth of the Twin Prime Conjecture—

Then now, he could directly derive half of it! And it had only been a few days?

He had actually reached this level already?! Had he held back in class? Or had he achieved this through research and calculations over the past few days? A genius!

No matter which it was, Lin Fan was a genius—a true genius!

"Lin Fan, you really are a genius!" Hu Tian praised sincerely.

Lin Fan smiled. "Teacher, you flatter me."

Hu Tian looked at the sky outside, which had already turned completely dark, and said, "It's getting late. Let me treat you to dinner."

Earlier, they had been too focused on deriving the equations to feel hungry.

But now that food had been mentioned, Lin Fan really was getting a little hungry.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Lin Fan said.

Hu Tian drove a MINI. It was compact and adorable in appearance, with an exquisitely designed interior.

After getting into the MINI, Lin Fan was greeted by a faint, pleasant fragrance that made him feel very comfortable.

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

The restaurant was located on the twenty-sixth floor of China Business Building.

From inside the restaurant, they could look through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the neon-lit nighttime scenery of Jiangbei, as well as the bright stars and moon in the night sky. It was exceptionally beautiful.

Hu Tian pushed the menu in front of Lin Fan, signaling that he needn't be polite and could order whatever he liked.

Lin Fan said, "It's my first time at this restaurant, so I don't know what's good. Teacher Tian Tian, could you recommend something?"

Hu Tian thought for a moment and said, "Their Filet Mignon is quite good if it's cooked medium-rare and topped with sauce. It's fragrant and rich on the outside, tender yet chewy inside."

"The Teppanyaki Tenderloin and Beef and Potatoes are also different from what you get elsewhere. You can give them a try."

"Also, Black Rose is their house-brewed wine and one of the restaurant's specialties. You can taste it."

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright, then I'll go with Teacher Tian Tian's recommendations."

Then, Hu Tian ordered a few dishes for herself as well and placed the order.
