Chapter 29

"Let's jointly write an email to the Ten Conglomerates and publicly release a statement of our position."

Meanwhile, backstage in the program's international livestream room.

The six directors on the production team had gathered to discuss a course of action.

The chief director had already decided that if Jiang Ye continued solving math problems after finishing Goldbach's Conjecture at the library, they would intervene.

Instead, Jiang Ye had left the library with his folder.

So, seeing that he had left the library,

The directors had decided not to intervene.

After all, their principle was not to interfere if they could avoid it.

But none of them had expected Jiang Ye to run into a university, double back with a parting thrust, and start giving an explanation of Goldbach's Conjecture.

For a moment, they weren't sure whether to say "fuck."

All six directors were furious.

Granted, Jiang Ye was engaged in academic work.

Granted, Jiang Ye really had solved Goldbach's Conjecture and earned the unanimous recognition of mathematicians.

Granted, academia could advance human civilization and social progress.

But what did any of that have to do with them!?

They weren't that great.

Besides, Jiang Ye's performance had gone completely against their original intentions. They had wanted to see him make a fool of himself, only for him to put on one hell of a show before all humanity.

Just then, a representative of the DuPont Consortium walked in.

The white man in a suit got straight to the point. "I believe you've run into a difficult decision."

Seeing someone from the Ten Conglomerates arrive, all six directors turned to him.

The white man in a suit continued, "The International Mathematical Union sent an email suggesting that Jiang Ye stay on the program."

Before the six could ask in surprise, he immediately added, "However, they've asked us not to interfere with Jiang Ye, and preferably to let him keep solving math problems."

"There's also Dragon Country, but they want us to replace Jiang Ye."

After giving them a rough account of the situation, the white man in a suit shrugged and conveyed the Ten Conglomerates' position to the production team.

"Jiang Ye must remain on the program. His performance has had the opposite effect, greatly increasing the Dragon Country people's national pride and cultural confidence."

"If we replace him now, then even if the next Dragon Country contestant performs terribly, we will already have lost. We won't achieve our goal, and we won't be able to undermine the Dragon Country people's national confidence and cultural confidence."

"So, as the Dragon Country saying goes, the one who tied the bell must untie it. The key still lies with Jiang Ye. Only if he makes a fool of himself can the current situation be reversed."

"Have him do something else. Don't let him study math anymore, OK?" The white man looked at the chief director.

"No problem, sir."

"Besides that, I'll also buy off some Dragon Country people to steer online public opinion in Dragon Country against Jiang Ye."

"With these two approaches working together, we'll still have a chance."

Chapter 29: Shock! The World Goes Crazy (begging for all kinds of support)

The second day of the National Insight Program had begun.

In the early morning, bright sunlight shone across the land.

"Back to watch the livestream, Guanxi?"

"Yeah, Yanzu!"

"I wonder what God Jiang is going to do today."

Because he had gone to bed early the night before, Jiang Ye woke up at around six thirty.

He had slept better than ever before, and naturally, he was in excellent spirits.

Jiang Ye pulled back the curtains and stared outside. He seemed to be daydreaming, but he was actually communicating with the system in his mind.

System, given my current mental condition, how long can I maintain the Super Learning State?

[The warning threshold is 8 hours, and the limit is 10 hours. The host must also maintain ample nutritional intake and sufficient sleep.]

What about the Ultimate Learning State?

[The warning threshold is 2 hours, and the limit is 4 hours. The host must also maintain ample nutritional intake and sufficient sleep.]

[Warning: If the time limit is exceeded, the host will fall into a coma.]

[Warning: Activating either state will affect and reduce the available activation time of the other.]

Okay.

Jiang Ye had been in such a hurry to study and prove the conjecture yesterday that he had forgotten to ask about that.

Now that he understood, Jiang Ye immediately made his plans for the day.

After breakfast, he would activate the Ultimate Learning State and solve the remaining conjectures as quickly as possible.

Preferably within an hour.

That way, he would still have another hour to study other subjects on the three websites.

According to the system's explanation, if he only used it for two hours without reaching the limit, he would still have the energy to deal with the safe location.

He also needed to get his hands on a gun.

With a gun in hand, he would be much safer if he encountered another person left behind like himself.

Before long, having eaten breakfast, Jiang Ye walked alone down the street toward a nearby police station.

His actions naturally sparked heated discussion in the outside world.

"Where's he going? It doesn't look like he's headed to school!"

"He's finally stopped doing math problems. He's finally going to do something else! Haha, the good part is coming right up."

"I just checked the map. Could he be going to the police station? The route is pretty clear."
