Tempest of the Stellar War-Novel2

Chapter 51: This Math Class Really is Excellent!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Student Wang was not particularly interested in standing out, but as he was provoked, especially in front of Aina, he would definitely not let this go.

Wang Zheng paused momentarily in front of the blackboard before beginning to furiously scribble equation after equation.

Originally, Marcus was not very impressed. However, his expression quickly changed. The disdain on Busen’s face gradually froze into a look of fear and horror. He could only understand a small portion of it!

As an influential figure of mathematics in the Sol Systems, the Sol System’s federation possessed unparalleled libraries of information. He had the best resources and means, and yet ...

Marcus continued to nod his head, Aina who was sitting below the stage, was similarly transfixed at the sight. She could understand the vast majority of it, but there were some things in Wang Zheng’s workings that were beyond her.

After a period of time, the entire blackboard was filled with symbols. The audience was deathly silent, awaiting Marcus’s judgment.

Marcus walked over and pointed at a string of inferences at the center. "How did you think of this?"

GOD!

His tone was that of one in a discussion...

Wang Zheng did not think much of it. He had often argued with the Old Merchant. The way he saw it, the Old Merchant was like a library, and their discussions would evolve seamlessly and endlessly. Discussing such a minor topic with a professor wasn’t a problem.

Glancing at another string of explanations made by Wang Zheng, Marcus couldn’t help but nod and smile. "Were you the one who solved the equation on the blackboard the other time?"

Wang Zheng stared blankly before nodding. "That was done casually."

"Haha, I finally understand why Xiao Fei feigned complete ignorance about you," Marcus said as he nodded his head.

"What Student Wang Zheng said here is completely right. However, this method of analysis is at the very forefront of the Milky Way Galaxy and is only for the purposes of our discussion. It will not be examinable. Everyone here does not need to consider this at all."

Following which, Marcus erased everything on the board. To the average student, this would completely ruin things with his enthusiasm.

It has to be said that everyone was completely dazed. As Wang Zheng returned to his seat, Aina stealthily gave him a thumbs up. That charming, adorable look led Wang Zheng to want to give her an embrace and a kiss.

Girls were made to be conquered!

Aina truly believed that those supposed geniuses could not compare with Wang Zheng. Who would dare say that Earth’s standards were low? It was just that the Aslan Empire was just too ignorant!

Aina did not dare to represent the highest tier of geniuses in Aslan; however, she would not place Xiao Fei in disregard. She now understood how far away Wang Zheng stood compared to her.

He had such innate ability, yet he was so hardworking. There was no one else like him!

Busen wordlessly sat down. He truly could not understand the whole thing. Thus, he could not even retort. The words from the Professor had affected him, and he had been reduced to the position of just an ordinary person.

How could a monster like this have been completely unknown in middle school?

Aina, on the other hand, knew that this guy only liked to score 60 points on his tests. It could be seen that Wang Zheng had quite the humble personality.

This lesson had indeed been quite fruitful, especially for Professor Marcus. Most importantly, he had identified the genius! There was no escape for him!

He had once heard Xiao Fei mention that she had found a student with great potential. However, this student had wanted to join the Mecha Department. That was absolutely unacceptable! It would signify a great loss for the scientific world!

How could those weapon brandishing barbarians compare with the scientists that pushed the very frontiers of human society?

In this regard, he was definitely with Xiao Fei on this one.

The moment the class ended, Busen came to Wang Zheng. "What reference book did you use? Where did you discover this argumentative proof?"

Wang Zheng smiled. "In actuality, I have no clue as to what I wrote. You should be able to find it in the Milky Way’s databases."

Finishing which, he grabbed Aina and left the classroom. The moment they left the classroom, Aina couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re so despicable, mocking that poor guy."

"Who asked him to look at you so lecherously?!" Wang Zheng replied with a feigned expression of seriousness.

Aina grinned. "What? Are you jealous?"

"You should reward me once for being jealous for your sake. Furthermore, I performed so well that you should reward me twice!"

Wang Zheng very quickly revealed his wolfish nature. He had managed to taste the sweetness of success yesterday. It was as though he had tasted the immortal fruit, and nothing else could compare to it.

"What? I didn’t hear that."

She was like the Little Red Riding Hood who escaped from the wolf.

Since he could not convince her with his logic, Dear Student Wang was determined to use force. "Don’t run; if I catch you, I will punish you with three strokes instead!"

His math was indeed brilliant.

After training in an abyss of suffering, Student Wang felt as though he was in heaven. Fortunate times often came without warning; Wang Zheng had also received an email from Solon. He wanted to ask if Wang Zheng was willing to participate in an interview, and for every question he answered, he would receive ten thousand Milky Way coins.

Solon was extremely polite. This plan of his was still in the budding stages and thus his funding was not exceptionally abundant. However, it could not be too low if he wanted to attract Wang Zheng.

Student Wang was at a loss. How could something like this happen!? It was as though someone was literally giving him money, and on top of that, flattering him endlessly. In his mind, an image of Skeleton appeared. Whether Bonehead needed the money or not, he did not know. However, what he did know was that he lacked money, and this opportunity could not be more welcome.

On the other hand, Wang Zheng knew that it wouldn’t be good to do this too often. In all honesty, Wang Zheng would have preferred it if he could just answer a single question occasionally and not be made into a public figure on the CT forums.

Wang Zheng was not particularly interested in becoming a celebrity of CT. He was perfectly content with CT being able to sustain his lifestyle. Occasionally being able to enjoy the thrill of battle and being able to gain Battle Energy was sufficient. Hopefully it would not change his current lifestyle.

All in all, Solon was well on his way.

After receiving Wang Zheng’s reply, Solon’s heart finally settled down. The current him was sitting in the Sol System’s Earth and Moon CT headquarters.

On the other hand, such a sight wasn’t strange. Ever since a couple hundred years back, upon the advent of the internet, the internet conglomerates were already on par with traditional commodity trading conglomerates. They possessed terrifyingly large amounts of resources and channels to obtain what they needed.

With Solon’s unconventional success, it had stirred up some noise among the inner echelons of CT upper management.

For today’s meeting, the key question was to decide if they ought to increase the level of Skeleton’s competitors.

Solon was prepared to increase the amount of publicity afforded to Skeleton. However, the higher ups were not convinced of such a move.

"Hehe, Solon, it should be said that this risky plan of yours is inappropriate! We have no need to take such a risk!"

"I am of the same opinion. I have seen his battles; they are all extremely thrilling. Even if he were to continue winning, there are still too many unforeseen parameters! Who is he? What if he wants to stop? What would we do then?"

The board members continued to throw out more and more reasons to dismiss Solon’s idea. On one hand, they were truly concerned about the riskiness of the proposal. On the other hand, they were unwilling to see Solon have an unprecedented amount of success.

If Solon grew from this success, he could potentially climb over them!

McLaren, the Sol System’s Board Chairman, was absolutely silent. He continued to let the other board members bicker. Solon also possessed some supporters, but they were not as significant. Furthermore, Solon’s own position on the board was not high.

After arguing for half a day, McLaren raised his hand to signal silence. "Solon, with your excellent track record, you deserve a large year-end bonus. Your dedication to the company shall be rewarded accordingly. A key reason for your success is attributed to Lin Huiyin using Skeleton’s battle footage to create her MV. If not for that, this would not have been possible."

After listening to the Chairman’s words, everyone knew what he was hinting at. McLaren clearly wanted to continue with the plan; Solon’s luck was just too good.

Although he was not superstitious, it was always best to do things after considering one’s fortune. Solon, that old bastard, was so lucky that such a golden opportunity was literally knocking on his door. His success seemed very likely.

"Mr. McLaren, Sir, I will swiftly commence the plan. Hopefully, I will be able to cooperate with Ms. Lin. On the other hand, I have managed to gain Skeleton’s agreement in carrying out an interview with him. During the period where Ms. Lin Huiyin will be carrying out her tour, we will have a massive opportunity which we need to capitalize on. If we don’t, we will definitely regret it!"

Solon was extremely confident. At times, he would struggle tenaciously and would claw his way through adversity. This cautious approach had been a key factor in his success. As he presented his case to the board, he made sure to carefully and cautiously select his words.

McLaren nodded his head. "The benefits are great, but this is still a company. What we are concerned with are profits. Such mass advertisement would break all precedence and take up the vast majority of our advertising resources. I’m sure you understand that. Thus, the reward..."

"McLaren, Sir! I am both the proposer and implementer of this plan. I would like to thank everyone for giving me this chance. If anything unfortunate happens, I will take responsibility!"

Solon spoke very calmly. At this stage, he was already forced into desperate straits, so he could only advance and not back down.

Frankly speaking, this wasn’t very difficult for him. When he thought of the situation he was in several months back, he was already at his wit’s end. At the very least he still had the luxury of choice right now and could even influence the outcome.

"Very good. So long as you understand. This plan has been approved. All the departments should try and cater to his demands. I do not want to see problems arising from disunity. Any problems that crop up will be borne by the group collectively!"

Spoke McLaren solemnly. As CT’s top management member, his word was law. action

It was very clear from what he had said and done that McLaren was very supportive of this plan.

Solon had numerous problems, but McLaren also had problems of his own.

In the Sol System, Earth’s performance was not outstanding. In the Milky Way coalition, the Sol System’s performance was average. If McLaren wanted his company to stand out, he would need a player with huge future potential to draw the eyes of the masses!

At McLaren’s position, he was not worried about stability but rather his reputation!

As the meeting came to a close, applause rang out. However, one could see the false smiles that lay on some of the board members’ faces. They were all waiting to see a joke come to fruition. Seeing Solon climb to his position and stay on for such a long time... it was clearly time for him to retire! Yet here he was, tenaciously clinging on and placing all his hopes on a single individual... an individual which he knew nothing about! This was just too risky and uncertain! Furthermore, while Skeleton has had a lucky streak, no one could truly be that lucky! Skeleton’s and Solon’s downfall was guaranteed!

Solon was clearly staking everything on this one throw.

Solon strutted out of the room vigorously. He finally experienced his second wind, and at such an age to boot! He was finally able to do what he enjoyed after working in CT for so many years. He had climbed from a lowly programmer position until he became the Earth Sector’s vice chairman and the one in charge of the Asian Region. He had already forgotten the joy of strife and was no different from a puppet. However, today he felt truly invigorated.

Sometimes one has to trust their intuition. Although he had never met Skeleton, as a CT addict, he had watched Skeleton’s battle recordings endlessly, re-living every detail.

Technique, physical ability, experience, and even his psychological state. One could unearth all of this from paying attention to the details.

Skeleton was truly a peerless and fearsome warrior.

Even though there were times where his performance seemed slightly strange, Solon’s intuition told him that Skeleton was definitely not very old. However, watching the battle seemed to show that he was a 40-plus year old experienced warrior who was at the peak. There was no other way to explain how he could have carried out the actions shown in the videos.

Even then, was there any meaning to it even if he did find out Skeleton’s true identity?

If one wanted to accomplish something, they could not spend their time dreaming.

On the other hand, our dear Student Wang was completely oblivious to his impact on the upper management of CT! His performance in the arena had created such conflict among the board of directors!
