On top of the bookcase was a row of cabinets surrounded by glass. Inside were a few yellowed ancient books.
The warm yellow light shone on the book, emitting a faint and gentle glow, attracting people to reach out and touch it.
Guo Miao held her breath and looked at Heleness.
Neither of them spoke.
Heleness swiped the card in her hand on the verification device beside her. With a beep, the glass door slowly opened, and the ancient book appeared in front of them.
It was a precious ancient book from King’s University in Fog City. Only some very rich people or outstanding graduates of the university were qualified to open it.
The two of them carefully took down the ancient book, put on gloves, and flipped through the book.
…..
Guo Miao was deeply shocked. The moment she touched it, she felt a deep connection with the predecessors of the mathematics world, which shocked her soul.
“This is the original book on geometry. There’s only one in the world.” An old voice sounded behind them. “Heleness, aren’t you competing? Why are you here?”
The old man was surprised to see Heleness.
Guo Miao turned around to look at the old man. He was wearing a simple T-shirt, plain jeans, and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked a little slovenly.
“And this is?”
The old man also sized up this unfamiliar Chinese face.
Seeing the old man, Heleness bowed.
“This is my friend from the competition class, Guo Miao from China,” said Helen. She then pointed at the old man. “This is Professor Conlay from King’s University.”
This professor was Nina’s grandfather. Guo Miao nodded along with the old man.
Hearing Guo Miao’s name, the old man smiled. “So, you’re that genius girl.”
“My daughter has offended you before. I hope you don’t mind,” an old man in his seventies addressed Guo Miao respectfully.
Guo Miao nodded and smiled. “You’re too polite. It’s just a small matter. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“These are the geometric elements that my granddaughter promised. She offended you. You can take a look at this. I can give you permanent permission to borrow it,” Professor Conlay said.
Heleness was a little surprised. After all, the permission to borrow the geometry elements was almost the highest in the library of King’s University.
It was obvious that Professor Conlay recognized Guo Miao’s ability.
“However, I have a question for Guo Miao and Heleness. Why are you two here at this time?” Professor Conlay asked.
“Well, we have already finished answering the questions.” Heleness spread his hands.
“Finished answering the questions?” Professor Conlay was a professor from the mathematics department. He was a little shocked since he had also participated in setting the questions.
“Does that include the question about Kratz’s conjecture?” Professor Conlay’s greatest wish was to solve this problem in his lifetime.
This time, he added this question to the competition question. He did not expect someone to really be able to solve this question.
“Yes.” Heleness nodded.
Professor Conlay’s mouth was wide open in surprise. “Both of you solved it?”
Guo Miao nodded.
“There are really talented people in every generation.” Professor Conlay nodded, expressing his admiration for the two of them.
He never thought that Heleness would be able to solve this question.
Although Heleness was a genius, she wasn’t one of those hereditary geniuses that had been passed down through generations. She was usually very hardworking, but she was still a little weak in terms of creative discoveries. However, this time, not only did she hand in her paper ahead of time, but she also solved this difficult problem.
Guo Miao and Heleness explained their solutions to the professor.
It wasn’t that Heleness didn’t have the ability to answer these questions. Unlike Guo Miao, she didn’t intend to show her full strength. She just wanted to stand out from the rest.
However, Guo Miao’s arrival stimulated her desire to display her strength.
“Guo Miao, may I invite you to study at our school?” Professor Conlay asked.
Helen looked at Guo Miao. When she was collecting information, she learned about Guo Miao. Guo Miao had once rejected an invitation from a top university in China. She believed that Guo Miao probably wanted to go to a world-famous university.
King’s University should have been a good choice.
Heleness and Professor Conlay looked at Guo Miao at the same time, waiting for her
