Though he had rarely appeared in the world of Mathematics in recent years after becoming an academic leader, and had skipped academic conferences both large and small, the mathematical community had never forgotten his legend.
Even today, myths about him still circulated across Princeton's campus.
There was no doubt that Lu Zhou was a formidable opponent.
She had struggled with this conjecture for years. If Lu Zhou claimed it first in the end, she was not sure whether she would break down...
"Molina..."
Molina looked at Vera strangely and blinked in confusion. "What is it?"
