The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Special care ward at the First Municipal Hospital.

Ji Bai finally woke up around noon.

Last night, he played ranked games for half the night on his newly arrived Alienware laptop. The fully-equipped graphics card and maxed-out graphics made him so happy that he almost forgot he was still in the hospital.

The ward was empty; Li Mei had gone back to school last night.

Yesterday's scandal caused quite a stir, and even though it was later clarified, as a young female teacher, she still needs to avoid suspicion if she stays overnight.

[Ding! Daily activation selection: Use the specified card option?]

Ji Bai's consciousness sank into the system panel, and he glanced at the shock value, which was over 53,000.

"Ber, System Daddy, why is your shock value only a little over 50,000?"

It can be said that the entire mathematics community has been shaken by him, and his popularity has swept the entire internet, yet the shock value is only 50,000?

The shock experienced by the host and target, who are complete strangers and only communicate remotely via the internet, is reduced by 99%.

"What?"

Ji Bai was taken aback.

"So that means I only get 1% of the netizens' shock value?"

【Yes】

"Fine, you win."

Ji Bai pursed his lips.

Just consider it as a system patch.

And 1% is not a small percentage.

Putting everything else aside, I now have a million followers, and if I shock them once a day, that's 10,000 shock points!

[Should I specify a card using the option?]

"No need to specify a card, just draw directly."

If you had 100 yuan, how would you spend it?

1. Complete Technology Route for Controlled Nuclear Fusion (Fragment - 1/10) (60 Yuan)

2. Model-perfect figure (10 yuan)

3. Master-level calligraphy skills (10 yuan)

4. Native-level fluency in any foreign language (10 yuan)

5. Perfect vocal voice + professional-level singing skills (30 yuan)

6. Complete undergraduate, master's, and doctoral knowledge system in any subject (10 yuan)

……

"I choose 1, 2, and 5!"

Ji Bai did not hesitate.

Even a fraction of controlled nuclear fusion, a crucial national instrument, is of immeasurable value and must be acquired.

For the remaining options, Ji Bai directly chose the perfect figure and the perfect singing voice.

"Just say a few words online; in real life, who doesn't want eight-pack abs and singing with a girl in their arms?"

Ordinary people should have their own kind of happiness!

Eight-pack abs and a great voice—isn't that better than memorizing a couple more pages of formulas?

Ji Bai admitted that he was just that vulgar!

[Ding! Your transaction is complete. Please come back tomorrow!]

The next second, a powerful and cold stream of information crashed into Ji Bai's mind.

It's not a coherent system of knowledge, but rather a collection of fragments of technology shimmering with a ghostly blue light: the toroidal magnetic confinement structure of a tokamak device, plasma turbulence suppression schemes, the molecular ratio of the high-temperature resistant material for the first wall, the injection parameters of deuterium-tritium fuel...

Countless obscure formulas, precise structural diagrams, and massive amounts of experimental data exploded like stars deep within his consciousness, only to slowly settle down.

It lacks the tearing sensation of Gauss's innate talent, but carries a heavy, suffocating sense of power.

Ji Bai groaned, his fingertips tingling slightly, as if he had touched that ball of blue plasma with a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees.

A dozen minutes later, the information flow completely settled.

He slowly opened his eyes, a faint glimmer of light still lingering in them.

"One-tenth is already this powerful... If we collect ten, wouldn't that completely overturn the energy landscape?"

Immediately afterwards, a warm, tingling sensation spread deep within my body.

A warm current flowed along the muscle lines, and the originally slender body slowly stretched out.

The chest muscles gradually rise, with a smooth and firm outline. They don't have an exaggerated blocky feel, but they hide a lot of explosive power.

Eight-pack abs are neatly arranged on the waist and abdomen, the V-line extends smoothly along the waistline, and the thigh muscles are tightened and lengthened.

The proportions of the person instantly became tall and well-balanced, a standard model-level inverted triangle figure.

Ji Bai lifted his hospital gown, glanced down at the wound, and whistled, "Not bad, this was a good deal!"

The tingling sensation eventually spread to the throat, causing a slight itch.

He cleared his throat and hummed a tune on the spot.

He was stunned when he heard the sound.

The once ordinary boyish voice has now become deep and magnetic, with an incredibly steady breath control. Even when he's just humming casually, it has the quality of a professional singer.

"Great! I won't have to be a spectator at karaoke anymore."

Ji Bai looked at himself in the glass of the ward and narcissistically stroked his chin.

Her facial features haven't changed, but her figure and temperament have improved dramatically; she's a perfect clothes hanger.

After indulging in his narcissism, he picked up his phone from beside his pillow.

As soon as I opened Weibo, a barrage of message notifications started playing: private messages, @ mentions, group messages—I couldn't even count them all (99+).

I randomly clicked on a few messages, and they were all good news:

"Ji Bai is awesome! IMU finally relented! They agreed to come to China to participate in the verification conference!"

"They've won so badly! From 'refusing to attend' to 'actively forming a group to come,' this is pure, unadulterated domination!"

"Ten Thousand Immortals to Pay Homage! Foreigners will be coming en masse in September to listen to the Taoist Ancestor's lectures!"

"The foreign netizens who were previously jumping around in have all shut up! Three major conjectures have hit us squarely; they have no choice but to swallow their pride!"

……

While scrolling through the pages, the influencer with millions of followers who previously wrote "Humiliation and Glory" posted a new long article, which has already been shared over 100,000 times.

The title is simply "We won, but this is just the beginning":

"I still remember a few days ago, IMU rejected our results with a simple 'no time to attend the conference,' which left many of us feeling frustrated."

Today, they proactively issued a statement announcing that they would assemble a top-level official team to go to China for verification.

The shift from "disdain" to "taking the initiative" wasn't based on verbal sparring or moral blackmail, but on three solid world-class conjectures and undeniable strength.

The verification conference in September will be our home turf!

Without the weariness of traveling from afar, without the frustration of having to be subservient to others, we stand on our own land, showcasing our achievements to the world.

This is not the end, it is the beginning.

This marks the beginning of China's mathematics community officially standing at the center of the world stage.

Ji Bai, in September, we await your stunning performance!

Below the article, there are countless reposts and mentions from netizens:

"@JiBaiSeptember, keep it up! Playing on home turf, make us look good!"

"@JiBai, I'm waiting for you to leave the foreigners speechless at the verification conference!"

"September will witness history! The season is in full swing!"

"Finally, I don't have to travel across the ocean to depend on others anymore. Playing at home is so great!"

The entire internet is buzzing with excitement, eagerly anticipating the academic extravaganza that will be held in September for China.

……

Ji Bai glanced at the comments, paused for a moment, and casually replied to the post by the influential Weibo user:

"I might not have time in September."

The comment section froze for three seconds.

The next second, it exploded through.

"What's going on?"

"No time? How can you not have time in September??"

"Could it be that he hasn't fully recovered yet? No way, Ji Shen!"

"I have a heart condition, don't scare me! It's the verification conference in September! If you don't have time, who will speak?"

"Ji Bai, wake up! Nothing is more important than this in September!"

"Whatever you have to do, cancel it all!"

……

Everyone was stunned.

This is such an important historical moment, the verification conference that mathematicians all over the world have been waiting for, and you say you don't have time?

What could a mere 18-year-old high school graduate like you possibly have to do?

Just as the entire internet was abuzz with speculation, Ji Bai casually added:

"I have to do military training in September."
