Identity Revealed

When Li Qiwei said those three square drawings were his name, everyone present was shocked.

Then, uproarious laughter erupted.

"God, is this Easterner out of his mind? Why did he write his name on the questions?"

"Yeah, if you don't know, you don't have to write anything. What does writing your name mean? Can a name also be an answer?"

"Sigh, you got my hopes up for nothing. I thought it would be a spectacular competition, but the ending is so anticlimactic."

Federico even laughed, clutching his stomach, his previous tension and worry completely gone, replaced by mockery.

"Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard all year."

"Ridiculous Easterner, who do you think you are? Your name is worthless! I didn't expect you to be such a clown."

"Just obediently take off your clothes and apologize to me. Don't embarrass yourself here."

Even Professor Stern couldn't understand, but for fairness, he could only give Li Qiwei zero points for the question.

Just as he was about to announce the results, Einstein suddenly walked out from the crowd, his gaze slowly sweeping around, and said, "Why did Bruce write his name? Because his name is the answer!"

"These three squares are his China name, and his English name is Bruce Li, the genius who published the Quantum paper as the first author."

"Therefore, he disdained to write down the process because it was his achievement from the start."

"Now, are you still going to mock him, mock the weight of these three China characters?"

Hiss!

After Einstein finished speaking, the classroom erupted in gasps.

Then, an eerie silence fell.

At this moment, everyone's minds had frozen, completely unable to believe Li Qiwei's identity.

One minute later.

Boom!

Everyone in the classroom went wild. Most of them were physics students and lecturers.

After all, if you weren't in the physics department, no one would be interested in watching the two compete.

"Oh my God, he's Bruce Li, the super genius who solved the second cloud of doubt."

"Rumor has it Bruce Li is from Qing Dynasty, how did I not connect the dots? God, this is unbelievable."

"Compared to him, Federico's so-called good physics grades are simply a joke, completely incomparable."

"No wonder he could do it so quickly. It turns out he's the powerhouse who pioneered Quantum."

"Sunshine and beach, here I come again."

Grossman stood there like a wooden man, speechless for a long time, still replaying Einstein's words in his mind: He is the most brilliant physicist I have ever met.

My God, could he not be a genius?

As a top student in the physics department, Grossman's idol was Bruce Li.

As an undergraduate, he had overturned Newton's classical spacetime view that had stood for centuries.

God, was there anything cooler, anything more mind-blowing than that?

It could be said that the Quantum paper was like a shot of adrenaline to everyone who studied physics.

Predecessors were wrong, masters were wrong, even the god of physics, Newton, could be wrong!

This was the characteristic of youth, the pride of youth, this was true, overbearing arrogance.

In comparison, Federico's behavior of looking down on others just because of his good exam scores was like playing house.

Childish and laughable.

Grossman had already decided that after this incident, he must pull Li Qiwei aside for a long talk.

If he could just get a sliver of an idea from such a genius, Grossman might have a chance to be known throughout history. Just thinking about it made him excited.

At this moment, Professor Stern, who was grading, was also stunned. He could never have imagined that the author of the Quantum paper was standing right in front of him.

And he was such a young and handsome fellow.

As a physics professor, Stern had read Li Qiwei's paper more than five times, gaining a different insight each time.

He felt that anyone who could propose the concept of [quantum] must be wild and unrestrained at heart, with nothing able to bind them.

Now, seeing Li Qiwei standing like a crane among chickens in the crowd, Stern confirmed it.

Some people were like torches in the darkness, destined from birth to change the future of physics.

After a long pause, under the envious gazes of the crowd, Stern announced that Li Qiwei had answered all three questions correctly and received full marks.

Li Qiwei won this competition!

The venue immediately erupted in cheers. Everyone felt it was well-deserved and immensely satisfying.

Only Federico was heartbroken and pale. He still couldn't believe that the person he had competed against was Bruce Li.

The one who created Quantum with his own power was truly a big shot among big shots.

Compared to the opponent, I was like a firefly's glow competing with the bright moon.

At this moment, the usually calm Li Qiwei turned to look at Federico, his cold eyes seeming to pierce the soul.

"Federico, you lost the match. Now it's time to fulfill your promise."

"You've been insulting me and Einstein, and belittling our ethnicities. Now I want you to apologize!"

The crowd immediately started cheering. Federico, ashamed, wished he could disappear into a crack in the floor. He even began to beg, "Can I just apologize without taking off my clothes?"

Li Qiwei flatly refused, "No, a promise is a promise. Unless you want to go back on your word."

Federico was on the verge of tears, but finally steeled himself and went for it.

He awkwardly took off his clothes and apologized to Li Qiwei and Einstein in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.

Finally, he quickly put his pants back on and, without even bothering to put on his shirt, ran out of the classroom.

Leaving everyone behind in fits of laughter.

Grossman walked up and patted Li Qiwei on the shoulder, saying, "Idol, well done! I wonder if Federico will dare to mock others again."

"This lesson will surely be unforgettable for him."

Li Qiwei smiled slightly, unconcerned. If Federico hadn't been asking for it, he wouldn't have bothered. But, "Grossman, when did I become your idol?"

Grossman said fervently, "Anyone who can make Sir Kelvin look bad and is as young as me is my idol."

With that, Li Qiwei and Einstein both laughed.

Then, Li Qiwei looked at Professor Stern and said, "Professor, thank you for your fairness."

Professor Stern shook his head and said, "This must have seemed like a farce to you."

Li Qiwei chuckled, "That's also because your question was excellent, Professor."

Professor Stern chuckled, surprised that the young physics genius could also be so humorous. Indeed, geniuses are geniuses in every aspect.

"Bruce, I hope to have a good chat with you sometime."

"It would be my honor, Professor."

This spectacular match finally came to an end.

Afterward, everyone dispersed, but the event was talked about with great enthusiasm and spread further and wider.

From then on, Federico seemed to have suffered a great blow and became much more low-key and well-behaved.

Meanwhile, Einstein, along with Li Qiwei and Grossman, found a cafe and the three of them prepared to have a deep discussion about academics.
