Recaps

Qi Hao used the system to deepen his mathematical skills, pursue Konrod’s work, and submit a paper while beginning to tutor Fang Jiaze. His solutions impressed local mathematicians, but his paper faced a skeptical review from Professor Lauren and Kevin as Professor Alexei began reviewing it.

• Qi Hao gained the Reverse Analysis talent, completed Demidovich’s first hundred proof problems, and received Konrod’s unpublished paper and a memory fragment that led to an academic legacy quest.
• Qi Hao learned Russian, tracked down Soviet-era references, and met Lin Lan, who brought his corrected proof to Dr. Xu and Professor Smirnov for confirmation.
• Qi Hao studied graph theory intensely, began writing a paper expanding on Konrod’s work, and received mathematical guidance from Old Wang.
• Old Wang recommended Qi Hao for the modeling contest, while Qi Hao helped his roommates practice English and submitted his paper to Discrete Mathematics.
• Qi Hao took a tutoring job with the Fang family, taught Fang Jiaze through gaming examples, and learned about Fang Guoping’s quantitative investing work.
• Qi Hao solved three provincial competition problems for Fang Jiaxue, impressed Chen Xiang and Xu Zhengping with his original methods, and received a business card to pass on to him.
• Kevin recommended major revisions to Qi Hao’s paper after questioning its Russian references, Lauren approved the recommendation, and Professor Alexei opened the paper for review.

Qi Hao defended his first SCI paper against accusations of fabricated references, earning support from scholars, his university, and Huaji. He then joined the Microsoft Imagine Cup, where he chose to lead a two-person drone team while pursuing advanced mathematics.

• Alexei Kozlov reviewed Qi Hao’s paper, identified a repairable gap, and recommended minor revision, which Qi Hao addressed before his paper was accepted.
• Qi Hao received a proof of the Jacobian Conjecture from a treasure chest, but the system blocked him from reading it until he studied prerequisite texts.
• After an online post accused Qi Hao of inventing five references, Old Wang defended him and the university began investigating the claims.
• Engineer Tian and Lin Lan defended Qi Hao’s work, and Alexei Kozlov supplied scans verifying the Soviet sources, prompting the university to post his endorsement.
• Huaji confirmed that Qi Hao’s theorem could improve game-search efficiency, while Yang Guang apologized for accusing him of misconduct.
• The university rewarded Qi Hao’s paper and selected him for the Microsoft Imagine Cup, where he accepted a mission to win an international competition against American teams.
• Qi Hao proposed a mathematical solution to Huaji and Dafei’s technical problems, leading the companies to offer twelve million yuan for a joint laboratory if he led the project.
• When Zheng Qiang challenged the drone project, Qi Hao answered his mathematical objections, and Professor Zhou assigned Qi Hao to lead the drone team while Zheng led an office-suite team.
• Qi Hao chose Zhao Ping as his teammate, formed a two-person drone team, and began studying advanced algebra books lent by Professor Wang.
