In the ICU, Ji Bai lay on a sterile bed, connected to various monitoring instruments, his heartbeat steady.

In the corridor outside the ward, Academician Wang and his group stayed there for the entire afternoon, and no one was willing to leave.

Li Mei leaned against the wall, tears streaming down her face.

Looking at the quiet boy on the bed through the glass, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she were being pricked by needles.

Three years have passed, and she knows better than anyone that Ji Bai is different from other children.

When she first graduated and came to No. 99 Middle School, she was just a little girl with a ponytail, and she was assigned to the most chaotic class in the whole school.

On the first day of class, a troublemaker put a fake cockroach in her lesson plan, which scared her so much that she burst into tears on the spot.

It was Ji Bai, casually strolling over with a lollipop in his mouth. He dragged those thugs into the corridor and beat them up, then returned to hand her his lesson plan, smiling and saying, "Teacher, don't be afraid, I'll protect you from now on!"

Later, when she was harassed by her parents and criticized by school leaders, it was this boy, five years younger than her, who stood in front of her and took all the blame for her.

He's only eighteen, but he's as mature as an adult.

After three years of getting along, she didn't even realize that this carefree, academically challenged guy had quietly taken over the softest spot in her heart.

"Ji Bai...you have to wake up!"

Li Mei's eyes were red, she bit her lip, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

"As long as you wake up, at worst... at worst, teacher..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly widened her eyes and stared intently into the ward.

Ji Bai, lying on his hospital bed, twitched his finger!

"Ji Bai! Ji Bai moved!!"

Everyone immediately surrounded them.

Sure enough, Ji Bai's fingers twitched slightly, and then his eyes snapped open.

In that instant, his eyes seemed to hold a bottomless sea of ​​stars, and the light of wisdom almost overflowed.

"Doctor, Ji Bai is awake!"

Academician Wang and others shouted frantically.

A group of doctors and nurses rushed in like madmen. The provincial-level director of neurology, the director of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and even the director of obstetrics and gynecology came running.

"Heartbeat normal! Sinus rhythm, regular rhythm!"

"Blood pressure is normal! Systolic pressure is 118, diastolic pressure is 76, perfectly normal!"

"Blood oxygen saturation is normal! 99%, respiratory rate is 16 breaths per minute, all normal!"

"Pupils react briskly to light! Preliminary neurological examination shows no abnormalities!"

……

Ji Bai lay on the hospital bed, completely bewildered by the group of white coats that rushed in and the strange wires and probes on their bodies.

His last memory was of choosing Gauss's genius, twin primes, and the proof of the Poincaré conjecture.

Then there is no more.

"So, I chose the Gaussian talent, and the system directly gave me a brain development boost?"

That's why you fainted?

Ji Bai felt his mind was clear and transparent like never before.

Many things that I couldn't understand before, I understand now.

such as……

"Angela needs to build Echoing Staff first, then Magic Penetration Boots, and then stack Rabadon's Deathcap. She can one-shot squishy targets without even waiting for her ultimate to cool down. Why didn't I think of that before?"

"Han Xin needs to circle around the dragon pit to steal the blue buff, blocking the enemy support's vision, so the enemy jungler can't react at all..."

……

At that moment, a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Ji Bai, how are you feeling right now?"

Ji Bai snapped out of his daze and saw a doctor in his fifties wearing gold-rimmed glasses bending over, his tone revealing a hint of barely concealed nervousness.

This is the director of the Department of Neurology at the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, which ranks first in the province. He was attending an academic conference in the provincial capital this afternoon when he received a call and ran straight out of the venue, escorted by police cars, and sped all the way to Fucheng.

"I'm fine now," Ji Bai smiled.

The doctors all breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how many phone calls the provincial governor made that afternoon!

Even the Senate sent two inquiries.

I heard that a military transport plane is already on standby at the airport.

If Ji Bai doesn't wake up soon, he'll have to be taken directly to the Beijing General Hospital.

The doctors had just breathed a sigh of relief when Academician Wang and his group rushed in.

"It's good that you're alright! It's good that you're alright!"

Academician Wang held Ji Bai's hand, shaking it with excitement.

"You scared us to death! If anything had happened to you, our country's mathematics community would have suffered a huge loss!"

"Yes, Ji Bai, is there anything wrong? Should we go to the Beijing Hospital for another check-up?" Lin Boqian said quickly.

"What do you want to eat? What do you want to drink? Just tell us what you need! We'll take care of it for you!" Director Zhang added.

A group of academicians and hospital directors surrounded an eighteen-year-old boy, showing him great care and concern.

……

Ji Bai felt a surge of warmth as he looked at the group of old men chattering around his bed.

Three years after he transmigrated, this was the first time so many people had genuinely cared about him.

"I'm sorry to have worried you all, I'm fine. I just had a dream that lasted a bit too long!"

The bigwigs laughed when they heard this.

"Oh, it was just a dream. That dream must be extraordinary!"

"Maybe Ji Bai solved some world-class mystery in his dreams!"

"Hahaha, the dreams of geniuses are definitely beyond the comprehension of us mere mortals!"

……

The bigwigs laughed and joked, treating Ji Bai like a child.

"Alright, alright, stop disturbing the child."

Academician Wang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, please disperse for now. Let Ji Bai rest well, and we can talk about other things after he has recovered."

Everyone nodded and turned to leave.

Ji Bai also lifted the blanket and bent down to put on his shoes.

"Hey Ji Bai, don't get up, you don't need to see us off!"

Academician Wang turned around, his face full of satisfaction.

Look at this child, how sensible he is!

Ji Bai blinked.

"What do you mean, 'take me home'? I want to go home too!"

……

"What?"

In one sentence, everyone stopped in their tracks and turned around in unison.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Academician Wang shook his head vigorously: "You just woke up, how can you be discharged! You need at least three days of observation! No, a week! You must stay in the hospital for a week of observation!"

"Exactly!"

Lin Boqian quickly chimed in, "What if there are any aftereffects? No, no, you absolutely can't leave!"

"The hospital has made all the arrangements, the best ward and the best doctors, so you can rest assured and stay here!" Director Zhang added.

Ji Bai was both amused and exasperated. He explained for a long time that he was really fine, but the group of old men just wouldn't agree no matter what.

He had no choice but to back down:

"Okay, but could you provide me with a computer?"

computer?

The big shots were taken aback.

While everyone was still in a daze, Huang Mingyuan, the director of Aurora University, had already jumped out from the crowd.

"Ji Bai! Are you going to play some games to relax?"

"Wait here! I'll go find you the best computer right now!"

"I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Director Huang ran off to buy a computer without waiting for Ji Bai's response.

Huang Mingyuan is feeling both relieved and apprehensive.

All the public attention is now focused on the ICM conference, and their high-intellectual alliance has long been forgotten.

The world's attention is now focused on IMU's refusal to come to China; everyone's attention has been drawn to that huge international academic dispute.

No one remembers the "Highly Intellectuals Alliance," the "Deputy Director of the Mathematics Department at Aurora University," or the "Seventeen Experts Making Things Difficult for a High School Student."

What kind of immortal from the upper realm?

It's just a roadside stall!

However, Director Huang was not only not dissatisfied, but was overjoyed!

If IMU hadn't stolen all the media attention, he couldn't imagine what kind of media storm he would have faced.

If it weren't for the IMU standing in his way, Huang Mingyuan would be the most famous joke in all of China right now, to the point where he would be recognized and pointed at on the street.

So some members of the Kochi Alliance left quietly last night.

Some people bought standing tickets overnight and took the old-fashioned green train back to Shanghai, while others squatted at the high-speed rail station for two hours without daring to take off their masks.

Unlike Director Huang and several other core members, they did not leave quietly.

On the one hand, Academician Wang and others are all here, representing half of China's mathematical community. This is a rare opportunity.

On the other hand, Director Huang and others also wanted to completely repair their relationship with Ji Bai.

He has offended a genius who proved Goldbach's Conjecture. If this issue cannot be resolved, his life in academia will not be easy for the rest of his life!

I disdain a ninety-year-old emperor!

At eighteen years old, I am humbled and subservient!
