It was already late when Wu Tong finished his proof, and Li Yishen spent quite a bit of time verifying the subsequent argumentation process. Now it was really late as the night was deep and the lights were bright.
"Man is made of iron, and food is made of steel. Your teacher will take you to dinner. Afterward, go back and rest well. You must take good care of your body. You can't endure this kind of constant strain in the future! You're still young and may not feel it, but so many scholars have become plagued by illnesses due to lack of attention, and their efforts to contribute to research have been thwarted. It's such a pity! You must not be careless in this regard!"
At around eight or nine in the evening, most of the cafeterias at Peking University were closed, but some restaurants remained open until nine or ten. Li Yisheng found a nearby small kitchen, ordered a few dishes, and had a combined lunch and dinner with Wu Tong. After sending Wu Tong safely to Shaoyuan and telling her to get some rest, Li Yisheng hummed a little tune, contentedly digesting his shock.
Late at night, Li Yishen lay on the big bed at home, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Half of his mind was filled with undigested shock, and the other half was filled with mathematical equations like meteors passing by.
In the end, his behavior of making pancakes attracted the violent suppression of his lover, who slapped him on the back. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Do you think people can sleep?"
"I realized today that we are just ordinary people. So, let's not ask anything of Li Yueling in the future. As long as he is healthy and has a positive mindset, that's enough!" Li Yishen felt that he really should calm down.
If a child's academic performance is not good enough, the reason may be that they, as parents, only gave him ordinary genes. In this case, they should not be too demanding of their children.
Li Yisheng's wife, Ms. Chen Xueling, currently works at the Huaguang College of Peking University and is a well-known economics expert. He sat up halfway, combing his hair. What was this person doing so madly in the middle of the night?
"What's the matter? Did you go to the Chinese Department today? Why are you suddenly so sentimental?" There is already a weird person in the family. The man is usually reliable, so don't let him be infected by that useless boy.
Otherwise, with her taking care of two children, this family would be in trouble.
"Do you still remember the child I mentioned before, Wu Tong?"
"Remember, he got first place in the CMO exam with a higher level of difficulty this year, and he also got full marks in the national team exam. I can't even hope for the results that Li Yueling can achieve even if he goes back to school and retakes the exam!" Ms. Chen Xueling felt that she was already very Buddhist. Li Yueling's grades were hovering around the passing line, and his Chinese score was even worse, but she didn't even bother to slap him in the face.
When Li Yueling was a child, she could still dream about this kind of other people's children, but now, she has never thought about it at all. This year, the admissions office was quite powerful and got this person to their Peking University.
"Wu Tong proved Zhou's conjecture today. I verified the proof process and found no errors. The unsolved mystery that has been hanging for nearly twenty years may be solved by a sixteen-year-old girl! Compared with children like Wu Tong, we used to be a little proud. We are all ordinary people, so don't be too harsh on Li Yueling!" Li Yisheng sighed and stated the facts.
"Zhou's conjecture? Proven?" Chen Xueling was stunned. With a lover who was a mathematician, she knew all about conjectures. She remembered correctly that Li Yisheng, an ambitious man, had also attempted to prove the Zhou conjecture, but ultimately failed.
"No surprises, proven!" Li Yisheng nodded in confirmation.
"Oh my God... this world is crazy!" There was another person in the room who couldn't sleep tonight.

【Proof of Zhou's conjecture on the distribution law of Mersenne primes】
【Abstract；This paper studies the distribution law of Mersenne primes and proves that 2^(2^n)····
[Reference: Distribution law of Mersenne primes...]
In the Shaoyuan dormitory of Peking University, Wu Tong's mind was active. She turned on her computer and began to edit her paper. She used the paper format of the mathematics journals she had read as a reference, from the title, to the abstract, to the citations, to the formal content...
Wu Tong began to edit. This paper only needed to cite one document, and there was no need for a long essay. This was a relatively easy task. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time just to check the sources of those documents.
Compared to the previous, painstakingly worded content, Wu Tong's editing speed soared after adapting to the mathematical notation used in document editing. Her own deductions were deeply etched in her memory, and Wu Tong didn't even need to look at the draft paper; she could edit without a draft.
It took Wu Tong two days to complete the first draft of the paper. During this time, he also spent half a day attending the closing ceremony of the first training selection of the IMO National Training Team.
The Chinese Mathematical Society specially sent people to participate in the closing ceremony, and leaders from various provinces and cities also rushed over. At the closing ceremony, the directors of the Mathematical Society announced on the spot the list of people who would enter the second phase of training selection.
In the auditorium usually used for lectures, except for a few who were confident of winning, almost everyone present was nervous and held their breath as they listened to the announcement from the stage.
"First place goes to Wu Tong, with an average score of 126. Congratulations to Wu Tong for once again achieving full marks in four training exams, ranking first and entering the second round of training selection!" The leader of the Chinese Mathematical Society was very happy. This year, a good seedling emerged. With such stable results, we can expect good results in this year's IMO!
There was warm applause from the audience, which was an involuntary admiration from everyone.
Getting a perfect score on one exam was already impressive enough, but getting perfect scores on every exam this time was beyond godlike. This was the IMO training camp, and the questions were getting harder and harder. They were tortured to the point of wanting to die, exceeding the limits of many of them, but still not the limit of this god.
All the teachers and students present were truly impressed. They were afraid they were all fake geniuses. In front of this god, none of them dared to call themselves geniuses!
"Second place, Guo Jiachen, average score 113, third place..." The second round list of the training team was released. The players whose names were called were so excited that they almost cried with joy, and the eliminated players could not hide their disappointment. They really tried their best.
However, there is always someone stronger than you, and there is still a top god who remains unmoved.
Fortunately, being able to enter the training team has proved their excellence. Most of the people present have already been admitted to prestigious universities. It’s a pity that their participation in the Olympiad ends here and they cannot compete in the international arena.
This year, the Central Plains Province is still quite strong. Feng Yueyue, who is ranked 14th and is also from the Central Plains Province, also entered the second round. Wu Tong applauded in the audience and was proud of the Central Plains Province.
Feng Yueyue glanced in the direction of Wu Tong, and the dissatisfaction in her heart had turned into sincere submission. Compared with Wu Tong, who had blossomed in adversity, she had grown up in a superior environment and had abundant conditions, but she was still immature and had not experienced any hardships.
Wu Tong's relaxed attitude made her former pride in her own achievements seem ridiculous.
Fortunately, she has realized it in time and it should not be too late. It doesn’t matter if she can’t catch up for the time being. She can try her best to continue chasing. I believe that she will be able to usher in her brilliant future and live up to her family’s heritage.
Wu Tong set a good example for her. No matter how much praise and achievements she received, she remained unmoved and continued to walk steadily on the path of learning.
