Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 184 - 101 The Crazy Math Novice

Tian Yanzhen knew that Qiao Yu was deeply immersed in his paper, and didn’t want to disturb him, just as when he himself was reading a paper and didn’t want to be disturbed by anything or anyone.

The human mind, especially in mathematics, requires continuity, and once you’re immersed in a certain state, getting interrupted makes it difficult to return to that state.

And indeed, that is the case.

Peter Schultz’s paper seemed to open a new world to Qiao Yu.

Never before had those complex algebraic symbols and high-dimensional geometric structures appeared so vividly in Qiao Yu’s mind as they did today.

He couldn’t even accurately describe this feeling with words.

If Qiao Yu had to describe it, it would probably be an anti-intuitive geometric sensation.

After seriously diving into the paper, his brain seemed occupied by countless high-dimensional geometric spaces, but these spaces were not as smooth and continuous as the Euclidean spaces we see in daily life, but were segmented.

Especially the rigid analytic spaces, which in Qiao Yu’s mind transformed into geometric objects divided and layered infinitely, with each dividing line being so precise and subtle.

Qiao Yu couldn’t quite say why those lines appeared there, but his subconscious told him they were meant to be there.

It was precisely these complex lines and geometric figures that made the space no longer continuous, but presented a discrete yet tight structure. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

These structures undergo complex and elaborate transformations in the P-adic fields.

In this geometric world, there was no smoothness and intuitiveness, only constant reconstruction through various means of expansion, endlessly extending, ultimately forming—a universe.

A universe woven together by algebraic symbols and geometric figures, where every point in the universe is intricately segmented infinitely with endless layers of detail under a special set of rules, governing these points, lines, and planes, pushing the construction of this geometric universe towards perfection...

The only regret is that a single night’s time is not enough for Qiao Yu to fully comprehend even the first paper.

When Qiao Yu awoke from his focused state due to a deep-seated fatigue transmitted from his brain, it was already past midnight at 12:23.

He truly felt exhausted, even more so than when he used to study Old Xue’s Diophantine equations until two or three in the morning.

But considering he also sat on a bus for six hours today, Qiao Yu felt it was quite normal to be this tired.

So on his first night in Beijing while attending university, Qiao Yu didn’t even wash up before directly climbing into bed. What annoyed him more was that, despite typically sleeping well, Qiao Yu had a strange dream that night. In the dream, he found himself in a bizarre labyrinth world, a world composed of countless peculiar doors.

Every door Qiao Yu opened in the dream revealed a beautifully strange space made up of various peculiar geometric configurations. This world was so wondrous that even a photon’s physical rules were entirely different from those of the real world.

Could timing coincidentally affect probability here?

No, perhaps it could exist both here and there, everywhere.

Until Qiao Yu opened a door once more and suddenly felt a bright light hitting his eyes, instinctively opening them and waking up...

He had forgotten to draw the curtains last night, and the just-rising sunrise pierced through the windows, causing him to feel dizzy before even getting out of bed.

Qiao Yu quickly climbed out of bed and grabbed his phone tossed by the bedside, glancing at it. Wow, it was already 8:20.

He had never woken up this late back in Star City.

Even staying up until one o’clock on the thirtieth, he still got up promptly at 7:40 the next day.

In this regard, Qiao Yu was different from other kids growing up.

Other kids could never wake up, but as long as Qiao Yu had over seven hours of sleep and took a quick nap of ten to twenty minutes at noon, he would be sharp the whole day.

Although it seemed like he dreamt all night yesterday, and still vividly remembered those dreams, Qiao Yu felt quite refreshed and wasn’t sleepy or sluggish from all those dreams, so he simply got out of bed.

Remembering Old Xue’s instructions from yesterday, Qiao Yu got dressed neatly, picked up the toothbrush and cup from the windowsill, and casually threw a towel over his shoulder before stepping out the door, heading toward the second floor corner.

Old Xue had shown him yesterday that the toilet and bathroom were on the second floor.

As he reached the second floor and turned into another corner, Qiao Yu entered the bathroom just as a middle-aged man was emerging from the toilet. The two met face-to-face, and the man asked, "Hmm? Who are you?"

"Uh, I am..." Before Qiao Yu could start a self-introduction, the man suddenly realized, "Oh, you are the new student the teacher accepted, right? Uh, Qiao, hmm, what’s your name?"

"Qiao Yu, Yu as in metaphor!" Qiao Yu enunciated ’Yu’ heavily.

Yesterday, when Old Xue asked about his identity, Qiao Yu didn’t feel awkward.

Today, this middle-aged man not remembering his name really got to him!

Indeed, he was still a Little Kalami.

The middle-aged man politely said, "Ah, right, right, Qiao Yu! Hello, Junior Brother."

Qiao Yu felt a sense of emotion, knowing that his mentor, as expected, had students all over the world. This man looked about forty years old and still had to call their Director Tian a teacher, highlighting his high status.
