Chapter 237 Was that showing off? It was sharing happiness!
"Congratulations, Lin! Your excellence has deeply impressed me. If you are interested, I can recommend you for an opportunity to study at a prestigious American university."
On stage, Masco shook hands with Raymond Lam with a smile and extended an olive branch to him.
Unfortunately, Lin Chen just smiled and didn't say anything.
For the United States, which doesn't produce geniuses but is a conduit for geniuses worldwide, this is just basic practice.
Unfortunately, Lin Chen wasn't interested.
Unlike others, he doesn't need to go to the US to "gild" his resume.
There's no need to develop any career in the United States.
What are you going there for?
Not to mention, after this competition, Lin Chen discovered that he was still a bit of a cynical youth.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so impulsively, giving the middle finger to Americans in front of so many viewers and on live television.
When Lin Chen held up the check, thunderous applause erupted.
No one envied Lin Chen for enjoying a hundred million US dollars all by himself!
He has every right to take this money!
Below, the official representatives from the United States smiled and applauded, though they were probably cursing under their breath.
Despite the fact that the two countries' university students tied in the final math challenge, this time the two teams did not win.
However, in the global mathematics community, everyone knows that the real winner is China.
Lin Chen's question alone overshadowed everyone else's.
Breaking a world-class mathematical conjecture is an achievement that is truly dazzling!
……
Shortly afterward, in the car heading to Longyan University of Science and Technology.
Old Wang looked at Lin Chen beside him and remained silent for a long time.
Lin Chen naturally noticed Old Wang's gaze and asked, "Old Wang, why are you looking at me like that?"
"nothing……"
Old Wang shook his head with a wry smile: "I just feel that you've only been in university for less than half a year, and you've already proven Goldbach's Conjecture... With grades like yours, I don't know how I'm going to teach you anymore."
"what?"
Lin Chen quickly said, "Old Wang, please don't say that. I was just lucky. I'm still far from good enough."
"Stop being humble."
Old Wang smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone says that everyone has their own expertise, but Old Wu just told me that he thinks it might be a waste for you to keep focusing on mathematics with your energy. You can actually do more and become a polymath, just like Professor Qian."
Mr. Qian?
Lin Chen scratched his head: "Old Wang, aren't you giving me too much credit?"
"High? I don't think so. Lin Chen, Professor Qian was also an unparalleled genius. He originally studied mechanical engineering, and later obtained doctoral degrees in aerospace and mathematics. After that, he pioneered the disciplines of engineering and physics mechanics. It is no exaggeration to call him a polymath."
"I believe that if Qian Lao could do it, you should be able to do it too."
Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed. Old Wang was really overestimating him by comparing him to Old Qian.
However, Lin Chen did not expect that Elder Qian would know so much.
He used to think that Qian was just a rocket expert, but he never expected that he knew so much.
It feels almost like I've been given a cheat code.
There really are geniuses in this world.
Although I dare not compare myself to Qian Lao, what's the big deal about learning a few more majors?
It should be fine.
Mr. Qian is a true genius, but I also have a cheat code.
"Mr. Wang, shall I find another major to study?"
"Okay, take your time to choose. I'll talk to the principal and give you a list of all the major courses at Longke University. You can choose whichever one you want to take. As for mathematics... you can use proving Goldbach's Conjecture as your graduation thesis. Such a significant academic achievement deserves a formal paper."
"Order!"
Old Wang looked at the confident young man in front of him with a smile, then suddenly thought of something else.
"By the way, you were fine in everything else today, so why did you have to provoke Cheng Zitong?"
“I just can’t stand what he says… If he thinks our place is so bad, then why doesn’t he come back? It’s like he came here to help the poor.”
Old Wang shook his head, both amused and exasperated: "You kid, he's a real big shot. Not to mention his academic standing, he has connections all over the country since he came back. If you mess with him, be careful he doesn't cause you trouble later. In my opinion, you should go to Tsinghua or Peking University sometime, apologize to him, and say that you were young and impetuous and didn't know any better."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately shook his head.
"Old Wang, I have no interest in this. Why should I apologize? I didn't say anything wrong."
Apologize? Apologize for what?
I have a cheat code now, making it difficult to bend over.
"Never mind, never mind..." Old Wang waved his hand.
He had only thought of this suddenly anyway, and since Lin Chen refused to apologize, he let it go.
Cheng Zitong holds a significant position, but his father, Lao Wang, is also a leading figure in China's mathematics community.
If Cheng Zitong causes trouble for Lin Chen, he will naturally protect her.
After arriving at the school, getting off the bus, and saying goodbye to Mr. Wang, Lin Chen headed towards his dormitory.
Just then, he suddenly felt a check for one hundred million US dollars in his pocket.
Of course, it was said to be 100 million US dollars, but that money has long been converted into Dragon Coins, which is about 700 million.
Moreover, after receiving the award, an official told him that the money was tax-free.
That's 7 million!
Lin Chen felt it was necessary to share this joy with others.
Lin Chen immediately opened Weibo and checked his own profile.
I was surprised to see that the number of followers had exceeded one million!
So scary?
To be honest, Lin Chen hasn't used Weibo much since the start of the semester.
After all, I was in class during that time, so there wasn't much to post.
As Lin Chen hadn't updated his content, his fan count dropped from just over 500,000 to just over 300,000.
As for his other pseudonym, Moyingchenguang, his fan base has declined even more due to the lack of new content in a long time.
However, because of today's match, Lin Chen's account has become popular again.
Lin Chen's name is still at the top of the trending search list!
There were also private messages in the background, and unsurprisingly, they received "99+".
"Wow, I heard you proved Goldbach's Conjecture? I'm bowing down to you!"
"Hey boss, are you taking on apprentices? I'll throw in a wife if you do!"
"Wow, you're so handsome! Do you need a girlfriend? I'm a 36D!"
"I heard the big shot got a hundred million US dollars? Why isn't he sharing it yet?"
"Lin Chen, this is Coach Ou from the Beijing Track and Field Team. Could I have his phone number? I'd like to discuss the National Games..."
……
After casually glancing at a few of the latest private messages, Lin Chen was immediately amused.
He ignored the comments of those who were just having fun and decided to satisfy the calls of his true fans first.
So he took a picture and casually edited a blog post.
"Thank you to the Americans for the 100 million US dollars! I want to share this joy with everyone!"
After posting on Weibo, Lin Chen put away his phone and continued walking towards his dormitory.
When they arrived at the dormitory, Lu Han and the others had not yet returned.
Lin Chen had a private car to pick him up, but they had to take the subway, which was a real hardship.
After pouring himself a glass of water and washing up, Lin Chen looked back at the Weibo post he had just made.
Within minutes, there were already thousands of comments below.
Holy crap! The pro has finally appeared!
"Oh my god! One hundred million US dollars! I don't want to share the joy, can I at least share the US dollars?"
"The expert hasn't shown up for a long time, and as soon as he does, he starts showing off!"
"Even though it's showing off, I still have to give this showing off a thumbs up!"
"I saw a pro player on the live stream today! So handsome and stylish! (Drooling)"
……
Lin Chen frowned slightly upon seeing these comments.
What are they all talking about?
Am I showing off?
I was clearly sharing happiness!
How do you speak?
Am I the kind of person who likes to show off?
