Chapter 624: Chapter 624: My classmate Tong waits for me to call me Professor Bai oh Chapter 624: Chapter 624: My classmate Tong waits for me to call me Professor Bai oh What… is she going to do?!
At that moment, the class bell rang, yet no one in the archaeology major classroom made any moves to leave.
In contrast, students from other classrooms flocked en masse, crowding around both the front and rear doors as well as the windows, all eager to see the unfolding scene.
Bai Chuwei stepped up to the podium, her delicate white hand picking up a chalk piece, and with a long reach, she pulled down the blackboard, then used the chalk to write down a series of beautiful characters.
The calligraphy department professor's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise loudly, “Excellent writing! This is the Spiritual White Script! It's truly worthy of being the Imperial Family's exclusive script back in the day.”
With the revelation of the “Records of the Mountain Moon” manuscript, many calligraphy enthusiasts had already fallen in love with this long-lost font, slowly attempting to imitate it, however, there were very few calligraphers nationwide who could write the Spiritual White Script convincingly!
And Bai Chuwei was among them!
With such ability, was there any problem with her coming to their calligraphy department?
None whatsoever!
“Wait–” the mathematics department's senior professor suddenly squinted, his hands as gnarled as tree bark swiftly pulling out reading glasses from his pocket to place on the bridge of his nose, his gaze intensely focused, “This… what is this?”
Bai Chuwei gently twisted her neck, her smile full of profound meaning, “Since some kids think I'm not an Immortal Teacher, I can only present a new conjecture to your mathematics department.”
Eight hundred years ago, Chen Jingtian showed off in front of her, and to subdue his arrogance, she casually wrote a conjecture for him.
Chen Jingtian failed to solve it in his lifetime and even during these eight hundred years, it had stumped countless mathematicians, leaving it unresolved.
The forebears had nothing else, but she indeed had plenty of mathematical conjectures, all born out of boredom over her more than five thousand years.
Bai Chuwei rapidly wrote several lines of text on the blackboard and drew a circle: “When we all are inside this circle…”
Having finished, she stylishly tossed the half-used piece of chalk accurately back into the chalk box, facing the dumbfounded crowd with a slight smile, “Seeing as you haven't managed to solve something as simple as the Chen Family Conjecture, here's a hint for you, you may refer to the binary system used in computers.”
The forebears were somewhat worried; she had come up with another conjecture that might take another eight hundred years to be solved.
Utter silence prevailed.
Professors and students, a sea of people, not a single one spoke, staring at her blankly and foolishly.
Those present were either professors or top students from Imperial University; none of these individuals could be fools.
Just one glance at the conjecture was enough to tell whether it was randomly scribbled or genuinely profound.
Wasn't she supposed to be just a decorative spokesperson?
Bai Chuwei wrote a new mathematical conjecture in return, even suggesting to reference binary in computing!
Bai Chuwei's smile lingered, “If this conjecture can be solved, then mathematics in China will ascend to a new height.”
Bai Chuwei walked down from the podium, leisurely grabbed her book and moved towards the exit, “By the way, if you still don't understand, I can give a hint during the next class when Tong calls me Professor Bai.”
Tong Qingyan: “…”
Bai Chuwei… was playing with her! Toying with her mercilessly!
Everyone made way unconsciously, parting to either side as Bai Chuwei approached, and she walked on, quite pleased with herself.
A big shot not to be trifled with.
Bai Chuwei walked towards Duan Xingye, who was lost in thought, and patted him on the shoulder, “What are you thinking about? Not paying attention in class, do you believe I will tell your Fourth Uncle?”
Duan Xingye jumped in surprise, “Weiwei? You're monitoring my attendance?”
