Floating Island, Plaza:
After completing his "epochal" speech, Chen Yu felt extremely comfortable. He had also sobered up from his drunkenness. Waving his hand, he said, "Hand out the papers and start the exam!"
"Yes, sir!"
The dozens of professors nodded excitedly and jogged into the plaza. They then stood on the marble platform at the front of the plaza in order.
"Students." Lowering his hand, Chen Yu commanded, "You've already noticed the numbers on the ground, right?
Your numbers are also included in the invitation letters. Please stand in your respective positions according to your numbers and begin preparing for the exam. "
With Chen Yu's encouragement just now, the students were still in a buff state. Hence, their efficiency was also very high. In less than two minutes, they had already found their respective positions.
As the saying went, words carried weight.
The same sentence would have different effects when spoken by different people.
As a special big shot with the most "power" and "status" in the current world, no matter how one interpreted Chen Yu's words, one's thoughts had to be profound.
There was no other reason for this. This was a setting engraved in the genes of human culture. It had been around since ancient Greece.
After waiting for the students to stand in line, the professors began distributing test papers, cardboard, toilet paper, and oil pens.
They started distributing test papers from the first row to the last row.
Depending on the fields of expertise of these young geniuses, the content of the test papers would also be different in each row.
The only thing they had in common was their unimaginable difficulty.
Removing his glove, Chen Yu raised his wrist and looked at the time. He then said loudly, "Normally, there are still ten minutes before the exam begins. However, efficiency is paramount. Since everyone is here early, let's start immediately."
The students stood in place and looked at each other with their test papers in their hands, at a loss.
"What are you looking at?" Frowning, Chen Yu said, "Answering the questions."
"W-Are we going to stand and answer?"
"You haven't experienced it before, right?
If you had met me, you would've experienced it long ago. "
Nodding, Chen Yu said, "That's exactly what I want: to strip away your natural pride and expel those external disturbances. Let's assume that you are all top students and have good stability. In such an environment where you are purely standing, I want to see if you are still good students."
Everyone: "..."
"That's right.
We want to see through your hardware, see through your software, and restore T1's... No, restore the essence of the written test. "
Waving his hand, Chen Yu said, "The journey of scientific research is arduous and boring. This is also to let you get used to it in advance, so stop dilly-dallying."
"I see."
Most of the students understood and began to answer the questions seriously without any hesitation.
Dozens of professors walked in the aisles, monitoring the students to prevent cheating.
"Pa!"
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The gray particles instantly turned into chairs and appeared in the square.
Shaking his robe, Chen Yu sat down leisurely. He then gestured toward the person in front of him and said, "Professor Li, come here for a moment."
"Principal." Professor Li hurriedly ran over. "What can I do for you?"
"Are there any papers left?
Let me have a look. "
"You want to do it too?" Professor Li's eyes lit up.
"Well, let's see how good you professors are at setting questions."
"Good, good!"
Professor Li appeared a little excited. Immediately, he pulled out a few test papers from his pocket and handed them to Chen Yu. "Headmaster, these are all sample papers. These are the questions the students did."
"Mhm." Chen Yu nodded and accepted the bag. He then flipped open the first math paper.
He believed that he was also a high school student who had turned over a new leaf and was able to get into the top ten of the Sixth High School's Colonel. He was fully deserving of the title of a top student.
Since he was also a top student, even if he wasn't as talented, he should have no problem getting a passing grade, right?
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu decisively picked up his pen and began reading the first major question seriously.
Let r be the set of real numbers. Find all functions f: r (right arrow) r such that for any real number x and y, there is f (f (x) f (y)) + f (x + y) = f (xy).
Chen Yu: "..."
Straightening his mask, Chen Yu calmly moved to the second question.
There were 1987 beads on the circumference. Each bead was dyed twice, either twice red, twice blue, once red, once blue. The final count was 1987 dyed red, 1987 dyed blue. Verify that at least one bead was dyed red or blue.
Chen Yu: "..."
Looking up, Chen Yu saw Professor Li's focused eyes.
"How is it?
Isn't the difficulty a little too easy? "
Scratching his face, Professor Li awkwardly said, "The earlier questions were too difficult. We were afraid that the students wouldn't be able to solve them.
If you aren't satisfied, you can look at the later questions. The latter ones are difficult. "
[Are these questions written by a lunatic?!]
Chen Yu opened his mouth, but the word "f * ck" got stuck in his throat. He then continued looking at the "simple" third question.
A primitive lattice point is an ordered pair of integers (x, y). What is the greatest common denominator of x and y?
The third question was very short, but its difficulty was...
Silently closing the test papers, Chen Yu shook his head and handed the pen and paper to Professor Li.
"Pr-Headmaster, t-these..."
"Are you laughing?"
"No!
I choked! "Professor Li hurriedly shook his head." I-I just want to ask. Are you not satisfied with these questions? "
"I am satisfied." Looking at his students, who were rapidly writing, Chen Yu forced a smile and said, "I am very satisfied.
I hope you can continue to be so outstanding. "
"B-But..."
"Go down. Give me some peace and quiet."
"Very well."
Holding the test papers with a serious expression, Professor Li muttered while reading, "Hah, it seems they are still too easy."
Chen Yu: "..."
Raising his head, Chen Yu expressionlessly looked at the sky. He then closed his eyes and asked himself a question.
If not for the Transdimensional Marketing Company, would he have come to Earth just to make up the numbers?
"I thought the questions would be difficult. I never thought they would be so simple," a female student standing in the front row muttered to herself as she flipped to the next page of the test paper.
"..."
Chen Yu silently clutched his aching chest...
...
At the same time, thousands of miles away in America, Google's headquarters:
Ding! Ding!
Suddenly, the sound of urgent knocking came from the door.
The CEO, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up and took the initiative to open the door. When he saw a middle-aged white man standing outside the door, his pupils shrank as he asked, "D-Dr. Did you succeed?"
"Mhm." The middle-aged man pinched his old brownish-yellow suit and nodded heavily. "I succeeded!"
"Yay!"
“yes！”
"Roar!"
Hearing this, the CEO immediately disregarded his image and vented the excitement in his chest. "Yes!
yes！
yes！！”
The middle-aged white man also couldn't help but smile as he watched the CEO jumping around.
After getting excited for a while, the CEO raised his wrist and looked at the time.
February 3, 2021...
"Quick!
Bring me there! "
"Okay."
The two men immediately walked out of the office. Under the escort of two bodyguards and several assistants, they entered a private elevator and snuck down to the first floor of the headquarters. They then entered a bulletproof car through the back door and entered the warehouse.
Inside the warehouse were mercenaries armed with live ammunition.
"You guys can stop here."
After getting out of the car, the CEO stopped his assistants and bodyguards from following him. He then followed the middle-aged white man into a dark alley.
"CEO, here."
"Mhm."
Before a steel door heavily guarded by soldiers, the CEO and the middle-aged white man swiped their IDs. The door then slowly opened from the inside.
However, the steel door did not make a single sound.
"Ugh."
For some reason, the CEO's originally excited mood suddenly turned into horror.
In his eyes, the slowly opening steel door seemed to have become a terrifying Pandora's box, choosing who to devour...
...
(Note: That's all for today. I'll continue tomorrow.)
