After taking the advice, I became a top student.

In the Grade 11 math office, Hu Xin was reviewing Chen Mo's math competition team assessment paper.

"This kid has quite a bit of talent, but he gives up too easily."

He had fifty minutes left, and handed in his paper without even glancing at the last question.

Standing next to Hu Xin, Zhou Zhi said with some emotion that he had only glanced at the test paper before, and it wasn't until the papers were being graded that he discovered that this guy had gotten all the questions at the beginning right!

And Chen Mo did all of this in just half an hour!

This level of skill is quite frightening. He had originally planned to have Chen Mo participate in next year's provincial competition, but now it seems that he can give it a try this year.

He now has mixed feelings of love and hate for this little guy. "The knowledge points tested in this question are indeed beyond the syllabus. It's normal that he can't do it since he hasn't studied university-level mathematics. But it's a bit unreasonable that he didn't even try."

He knew that Chen Mo had only been involved in math competitions for less than a week, and to be able to do this set of questions to this extent was truly remarkable. His years of experience as a math competition coach told him that this guy was a genius in competitions.

But geniuses often have the flaws of geniuses.

Chen Mo's problem is that he gives up too easily.

If you want to achieve good results in the provincial competition and enter the national competition, or even win a CMO gold medal and be among the top six, or even an IMO gold medal, this kind of mentality is not acceptable.

That's why he brought the test paper to Hu Xin, hoping to come up with a good way to get rid of Chen Mo's bad habits.

Hu Xin then finished reading Chen Mo's solutions to the first two major questions.

He was still somewhat unsatisfied.

This question was quite difficult; even he would have to use his brain to solve it. But according to Zhou Zhi, Chen Mo finished it in less than half an hour.

Even someone who has taught high school math for over a decade isn't confident about this amount of time.

"I don't think he's someone who gives up easily."

Hu Xin shook his head, "I don't know why, but he always gives me the feeling that he's in a constant rush."

"He probably didn't give up on the last question; he just felt it would take too much time to finish it, so he simply didn't do it."

Hu Xin had been paying attention to Chen Mo since Chen Mo first emerged, and this is the conclusion he has drawn after observing Chen Mo for the past few days.

He didn't know what Chen Mo was so anxious about.

But think about a student from a small town who didn't do well on the entrance exam and whose family doesn't seem to be well-off; it's natural for them to get anxious.

"That's easy!"

Zhou Zhi suddenly realized.

With Chen Mo's talent and learning speed, he could guarantee that Chen Mo would win the CMO gold medal and be admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University within a year, so there was no need to rush.

Holding Chen Mo's test paper, he quickly walked out of Hu Xin's office and headed towards classroom 601.

He has found a way to get rid of Chen Mo's bad habits.

When he entered classroom 601, he found that everyone was not studying, but huddled together in one spot, as if watching something exciting.

"Is he playing a mobile game?"

Zhou Zhixin felt a chill and quietly walked over.

"Then prove a′"

<a并得到更小解……」

Only then did he see that Chen Mo was the one surrounded in the center, and next to him, Bai Zhi was standing with her head bowed, her brows slightly furrowed, staring at the draft paper in deep thought.

Clearly, Chen Mo was explaining a problem to everyone.

What they were talking about was the last major question on the morning's exam.

"That is, a′² + b² = k(a′b + 1), so (a′, b) is also a positive integer solution that satisfies the condition, and the corresponding k is the same, but a′ + b..."

<a+b，与a+b的最小性矛盾。」

Therefore, the assumption is false, and k must be a perfect square!

After writing the last equation, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Even he himself hadn't expected that this method would actually work, and he had actually proven the problem.

Looking at the proof process that had been written on three or four pages of draft paper, the other students were already dizzy from listening, but Bai Zhi understood it.

It was precisely because she understood that she suddenly realized how terrifyingly strong this guy was.

Even without having studied university-level mathematics, he was able to come up with a seemingly feasible method to prove it, and in the end, he actually succeeded in proving it.

This is equivalent to defeating airplanes and cannons with millet and rifles. This is obviously much more difficult than her using the Vida Jump to prove this problem.

She was puzzled, "So why didn't you do this question during the exam?"

Chen Mo also looked at the proof process he had written, which filled four whole pages of draft paper, and secretly shook his head.

What a waste! Such a waste!

He talked for almost half an hour until his throat was dry. That amount of time was enough for him to finish the first semester of high school physics. It was such a waste to use it to do problems!

Of course, what he said was, "The proof process is quite complicated, and there's not enough space on the answer sheet."

quiet,

A deathly silence.

Everyone thought Chen Mo was showing off.

But it's undeniable that he can actually do it!

Only Zhou Zhi, standing behind Chen Mo, was reflecting on whether he should prepare more draft paper in the future.

Of course, he had to see Chen Mo's proof process first.

He grabbed Chen Mo's draft paper and began to study it carefully.

[Complete the suggestion, explain the problem to your classmate, and ensure they understand; +666 points]

Suddenly, a notification popped up in front of Chen Mo's eyes.

"Um?"

Chen Mo was overjoyed; this was the first time he had gained so much knowledge from discussing a topic.

Seeing this question is indeed very valuable!

Chen Mo felt that it wasn't a waste of time to have gained 666 nutrients in just over half an hour.

This question was totally worth doing!

Sure enough, something unexpected can have a great effect.

Chen Mo began to reflect that he seemed to have been too utilitarian, doing everything for the sake of grinding attribute points.

If we consider the patterns in this system, perhaps we can approach it from a different angle.

Instead of doing utilitarian things to gain attribute points, acting from the perspective of a good student, a student eager for knowledge, might actually yield more benefits and more attribute points.

Without hesitation, he looked at Bai Zhi and asked, "So, how do you prove this problem using Vieta's leap?"

"Also, what is the Vedic leap?"

"Vieta's jump is a method of infinitely decreasing the roots of an equation using Vieta's formulas to prove that the equation has no solution."

Bai Zhi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite Chen Mo. She picked up a piece of draft paper and started scribbling. "With this knowledge, proving this problem becomes much simpler."

"Suppose there exist positive integer solutions (a, b) such that k = a^2 + b^2/ab + 1 is not a perfect square... then construct the equation..."

"First, prove that a′≠0, because if it were 0, then b²=k, which contradicts the fact that k is not a square."

We can further prove that a′ is a positive integer by analyzing the sign and magnitude of aa′=b^2−k.

The key step is to prove a′

<a，从而(a′，b)是比(a，b)更小的正整数解.」

"Repeating the above process for the solution (a′, b) can generate an infinitely decreasing sequence of positive integer solutions, but positive integers cannot decrease infinitely, which creates a contradiction."

"Done!"

In less than five minutes, Bai Zhi had finished explaining the entire proof process.

Chen Mo was amazed. "Impressive!"

Bai Zhi shook her head. She subconsciously recalled Chen Mo's proof. She thought that Chen Mo's ability to complete the proof using high school knowledge was truly impressive.

To achieve good results in the competition, it's essential to learn some university-level mathematics. Chen Mo has already secretly made up his mind that studying university-level mathematics must be put on the agenda.

[Complete the suggestion: Ask the class beauty a question every day, and you'll receive +88 points.]

Suddenly, Chen Mo's vision blurred, and another notification popped up.

"?"

Ok?

Chen Mo fell silent.

He had made this suggestion countless times, and he knew very well that this task could only provide nourishment once a day, but today he should have already received nourishment from Shen Qingyi.

Why could Bai Zhi (Angelica dahurica) still provide nutrients when explaining problems to him?

Could it be that it's not that it can only be triggered once a day, but rather that it can only be triggered once a day for the same class beauty?

Chen Mo's eyes lit up.

On the other side, Zhou Zhi also finally finished reading Chen Mo's proof process.

Absolutely amazing!
