Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1303 - 1304: Utterly Satisfying

The moment Xiao Zhi’s state transformed, everyone was stunned.

If earlier Xiao Zhi had given them the impression of a mama’s boy, now he was like a robot!

That’s right, a robot, with only right and wrong and command obedience, devoid of any other emotions!

This extreme transformation sent a violent shock to their hearts.

"Bluffing." John said, whether suppressing Xiao Zhi or bolstering himself.

Song Hui, those professors, and the participants all instinctively nodded.

No matter what, no amount of momentum can replace strength.

The Nobel Mathematics Award is indeed not an undeserved reputation.

However!

They witnessed the craziest scene of their lives!

...

The competition began!

Speed calculation.

First question.

John: "Answer..."

Xiao Zhi: "826547."

Second question.

John: "It’s..."

Xiao Zhi: "8972549846324."

Third question.

John: "842548564."

Incorrect!

Xiao Zhi: "842548569."

Correct!

Speed calculation ended.

Crushed!

"Gulp!" Song Hui swallowed hard, even feeling the saliva scratch his throat!

This was because they had kept their mouths open, and their throats were completely dry, leading to that feeling upon suddenly swallowing!

They couldn’t believe this was the outcome!

Crushed?! Completely crushed?!

Some might say that the Nobel Mathematician’s achievement doesn’t rely on speed calculation but on accomplishments!

But that’s because they don’t understand that this John is not only a Nobel Mathematician but also a speed calculation master!

One of the top five speed calculation masters in the world!

Yet now, he was brutally crushed by this robot-like child!

Yes, they could only use the word "brutal" to describe it.

It was merciless!

This child not only resembles a robot in temperament but even internally seems like one!

They saw that what constrained John was his calculation speed, but what constrained this child was his own speech speed!

His speaking speed couldn’t keep up with his calculation speed!

My god! This isn’t something a human can achieve!

This isn’t something that can be accomplished through effort alone; it requires talent, a gift from heaven to accomplish!

This child is indeed blessed by the heavens!

...

The second match, and also the final one.

This was proposed by John, risking his reputation as the Nobel Mathematics Award recipient, for a second competition.

The competition was about discussing top mathematical problems.

It was more like a debate, but one that mixed numbers, symbols, patterns, formulas, laws, and so on.

The complexity of it could be summed up in one sentence...

Even in the ears of Song Hui, a professor of the Mathematics Department at Qinghua University, he felt unable to keep up.

Not to mention others.

Truly, in the ears of ordinary people, including the group with Lu Xiaobu, it was like listening to two people reciting spells.

They felt like a Meteor Fire Rain would soon descend, destroying Earth!

...

"I... lost!" John took two steps back, leaning against the wall, ending the debate.

He lost, completely and utterly, accepting the loss with all his heart.

He did not lose in mathematical research depth but in the breadth of other disciplines.

He spent his life studying mathematics, so many things were limited to the mathematical domain.

However, this young man in front of him was different; his breadth of knowledge was unmatched!

This breadth allowed the young man to make analogies and integrate knowledge across disciplines, forming a powerful attack against him!

"My god! So exciting! So exciting!"

Song Hui said exuberantly. At this moment, his back was soaked, but his face was filled with an immensely pleasant smile.

The feeling was like just emerging from the Thunder God Treasure Sword, with every pore exuding a sense of pleasure.

But while he felt this pleasure, most others were filled with deep distress.

They were still trapped in one of the many topics from the debate between the two masters.

The solutions were already given, but they still couldn’t figure it out!

This is the gap!

"Clap, clap, clap, clap!"

The applause erupted, incredibly lively.

Insiders saw the specifics, outsiders saw the excitement.

The spectators didn’t understand what happened, but it felt very satisfying.

Moreover, most importantly, a Heavenly Dynasty person won over an American!

That’s enough!

Just applaud!

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Even though I didn’t understand a word!"

"Yeah! So exciting! So thrilling! I was drenched in sweat listening!"

"Come on! You understood? Drenched in sweat!"

"You don’t get it! This is called art without borders! It’s like when you listen to foreign songs; do you know what they mean? No, but they sound good, don’t they?!"

"But this is science, not art!"

"Science and art are intertwined! They’re the same!"

"Pretentious! You’re just scared!"

"...."

The spectators enjoyed their own amusing chatter while applauding!

"How was it?" Lu Xiaobu didn’t really understand, but it was enough that Xiao Zhi won.

"Willing to lose and accept it!" John laughed bitterly, looked at Xiao Zhi: "A remarkable young talent! Definitely a future superstar in the world of mathematics!"

"I don’t want to be a superstar!" Xiao Zhi shook his head, returning to Liang Lan’s side, back to that comforting Treasure Pavilion where he felt at ease both inside and out.

Then, he carefully and secretly glanced at Lu Xiaobu, waiting for his praise.

"Well done." Lu Xiaobu touched Xiao Zhi’s head and smiled.

"Hehe."

The young Xiao Zhi was overjoyed.

Yet he lowered his head, trying hard to restrain himself from laughing out loud.

His appearance was entirely like a child who has benefited yet remains coy.

This scene made everyone laugh in amazement.

Well, heaven grants you an ability, and inevitably takes away another.

"Let’s go, we’ll talk at my place." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, heading towards the Thunder God eSports Hall.

"Sister Lan, make arrangements, it’s getting late, let’s just go to the Thunder God eSports Hall, cook if you wish, or just order if you like."

"Yes, Young Master, I’ll make the arrangements!" Liang Lan nodded.

Then, the group, amidst various praises from the spectators, headed towards the Thunder God eSports Hall.

Meanwhile, the news about the genius boy—Xiao Zhi was spread by some enthusiastic individuals.

However, these news were quickly deleted.

Obviously, this was a measure by Elder Yu and others, it’s better for Xiao Zhi not to be too exposed to the public eye.

This is good for him personally and also for the base!
