A genius student? Ha, they're nothing but ants at your feet!

For the past two years, Theodore has been secretly preparing a groundbreaking research project, like an ascetic, that could shake up the entire academic world!

He had planned to use his master's thesis to solve a notoriously difficult problem that was widely recognized in academia, and use it to make a stunning debut, making the world tremble in his presence.

Who would have thought that all the spotlight would be stolen overnight by Su Hao, this guy who appeared out of nowhere!

Murphy's Law is always so cold and ruthless.

To make matters worse, the imbalance in mindset caused cracks in the deduction.

His research project, which had been progressing smoothly, has now reached a hopeless impasse.

It was in this state of extreme mental exhaustion that he stumbled upon the online quiz platform "Logia" in an attempt to change his mood, which unexpectedly filled the void in his shattered and crumbling self-esteem.

"What's going on here? These overrated college freshmen dare to call themselves geniuses?"

From the moment an account is registered, it's a one-sided massacre with no suspense whatsoever.

They won one victory after another.

Before long, he violently tore apart those incomprehensible question banks, becoming the only S+ rank player in the entire Logia server and successfully climbing to the top of the leaderboard.

That feeling of looking down on everyone else returned, and my previously waned self-confidence surged again like it had been injected with adrenaline.

That's right! I'm still invincible!

Theodore arrogantly believed in his heart that he was the best!

There is absolutely no one more outstanding than him at the master's and doctoral levels!

He decided to regroup and once again devote his energy to the battlefield of academic research.

He intended to close the browser, abandon Logia and its mortal followers, and continue his noble scientific research.

But for some reason, his hands seemed to have a mind of their own, and his gaze always involuntarily drifted to one side of the screen.

Looking at the glittering, tacky yet fatally alluring golden crown next to my account name.

He was captivated.

He felt as if he had reclaimed the supreme throne that had been unjustly taken away by the journal's editor.

With his exceptional intelligence, he quickly concocted a plausible motive in his mind for continuing to be addicted to logging into Logia.

He frantically calculated in his mind that he didn't actually need to quit at all.

As long as we lure Su Hao into this absolutely fair arena and crush him in front of the whole world, we can also take this opportunity to completely set the tone for the ranking of the two of them!

Crackle, crackle.

He started creating numerous alternate accounts on Reddit's academic section, deliberately posting extremely hateful and provocative idiotic comments about MIT.

Seeing that the other side was like a stagnant pool and he was not getting any response, he gradually increased his output.

Finally, after a series of extremely bizarre and frantic attacks, he wrote a long, highly offensive post that can be considered a textbook example of internet trolling.

The underlying logic of sociological game theory told him this.

Faced with such a blatant act of group humiliation, even if the other party is extremely unwilling, they will eventually be forced to come forward under the pressure of the surrounding environment.

however.

The situation has completely gone off track.

The person he truly provoked was not Su Hao.

Rather, they are the equally idle, fiercely proud, and belligerent geniuses from other top universities around the world.

It backfired!

In order to defend that golden first place title from being snatched away by these mad dogs, this dignified genius scholar now has to fight like an internet addict every day, with red eyes and all his might, to defend his ranking!

......

Boston, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

"Hey, you really aren't planning on playing at all?"

Root and Cyber ​​Fox stared incredulously at Su Hao, who was sitting at his workstation.

"Yeah, I don't play."

Su Hao didn't even look up.

"I'm very busy. Don't forget, the physics engine we use to develop the game is still not perfect and has many bugs."

Furthermore, I also have an independent research project that someone is currently working on.

Besides, I still have to prepare for those damn assignments and final exams!

"That's such a flimsy excuse!"

Root was so anxious that he jumped up and down, suddenly pounced on Su Hao and grabbed his shoulder, shaking him back and forth like a stuck vending machine.

"Don't give me that! Even Iron Man needs to poop and rest, you monster, you must be solving equations even when you're on the toilet!"

"Couldn't you just spare even five minutes to casually browse the platform and play for a bit?"

Cyber ​​Fox nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Yeah, just think of it as a way to clear your head, give it a try, okay?"

However, no matter how much the two people beside him tried to persuade him, he was still in trouble.

Su Hao remained unmoved, like an iceberg that had stood for millennia.

His face clearly said, "Don't bother me, I have no interest in this kind of childish game," and he continued to sit steadily at his workstation, staring at the screen modifying line after line of tedious code.

Crackle, crackle.

The crisp tapping sound was the only response in the laboratory.

Faced with Su Hao's extremely stubborn and unyielding attitude, the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment, completely at a loss.

Entropy recalled their past interactions and secretly analyzed possible solutions in his mind.

She knew that Su Hao appeared harmless, but deep down he was a stubborn person with a hidden temper.

Forcing it by external force will absolutely not work; it will only backfire.

"Huh? Wait a minute, come look! This extremely arrogant post seems to be aimed directly at you, Su Hao?"

As a super-addicted internet user who spends 24/7 lurking on Reddit, Root spotted an anonymous hot post that had been pushed to the front page.

Has Su Hao from MIT chickened out?

The main text is filled with a strong sense of tension and conflict.

Why hasn't he logged into Logia yet? Surely he's not scared out of his wits by this mere ranked match?

He's always been touted as a shoo-in for the next Fields Medal by all sorts of shady media outlets, but when it came time to prove himself on this globally recognized platform, he just cowered and went into hiding?

The post immediately caused an uproar in the comments section.

[This comment is a bit too aggressive, and trying to stir up trouble doesn't have to be this ugly.]

[For the past few days, I've been wondering if this sullen, anonymous post really was posted by Theodore himself. That would be so disgraceful.]

[Who cares who posted it. Although this provocation tactic is a bit too direct and childish, if Su Hao really can't take the provocation and accepts the challenge, it would be a huge good thing for us onlookers.]

This is practically a once-in-a-lifetime celebration for academia! Let's get this party started!

[A bunch of frogs in a well, just wait and see! The Xia people will soon turn your carnival into a funeral!]

[Although we know our level isn't up to par, the National University of Singapore has applied to participate. I've already sent a group message to the Mathematics Department overnight—we won't lose face!]

[Hmph, just a bunch of weaklings fighting each other. The University of Tokyo is sending their second team to wipe them out. That should be more than enough to deal with you bunch of nobodies!]

Within just half a minute of them refreshing the page, thousands of replies flooded the comments section of the post.

Trolls from all languages ​​and top universities have swarmed out, and the entire academic section of the forum has been completely ignited by this battle, falling into a state of frenzied spamming.
