To solve the first puzzle, Xuanming must provide a two-part proof formula: in the first part, he must prove that every even number not less than 6 can be expressed as the sum of two odd prime numbers; in the second part, he must prove that every odd number not less than 9 can be expressed as the sum of three odd prime numbers.
The whole process seems simple, but so far, no scientist in the world has been able to solve this mystery.
However, Xuan Ming didn't need to stop to think, nor did he need to erase previous words to make revisions. He simply kept writing. These incredibly complex formulas seemed to be growing in his mind.
Lines of words stretched out under his pen, soon filling the entire wooden board.
The wooden board continued to expand, slowly accommodating more text.
Xiaodao and Huangmao walked up to Xuanming with puzzled expressions. They were about to ask him why he could solve the problem, but when they saw the two windows floating on his task manager, they silently shut their mouths.
The eldest sister-in-law is really amazing! Even though he is not here, he is still the brain of this team and can control everything without any obstacles.
The Lord of Terror created this game world to use the cards that exploded in the dungeon to attract more players. Cards can give players power, and similarly, if players die in the dungeon, their power will be devoured by the Lord of Terror.
If the Lord of Terror were compared to a plant, he would probably be a pitcher plant, using honey and traps to catch prey.
There are only a handful of people like Xuanming who can break through the game world and successfully enter the wilderness. The vast majority of players eventually die here.
Huangmao and Xiaodao were also lucky. They had the right people to rely on, so they escaped from the cycle of reincarnation alive.
Many players like to compare the game world to the "Gaokao of Death." Players who enter are all students sitting in the same classroom, each holding an incredibly difficult exam. Pass and they'll escape unharmed; fail, and the invigilator will devour the loser on the spot.
However, now, Xuan Ming, who has two task managers, is like wearing a pair of invisible headphones, and the other end of the headphones is connected to a person who holds the 100% correct answer.
While this person was reading out the answers, Xuanming was writing the test paper. How could he not get full marks in the end?
This "death college entrance examination" no longer has any meaning to him.
Huangmao and Xiaodao looked at each other, then hid aside and laughed.
The talented girl stared intently at Xuan Ming's written argument and warned, "Can you really solve this problem? If you're not absolutely sure, I suggest you don't answer it. If you answer the question incorrectly, the traps in the maze will be activated one by one, and we will encounter countless troubles!"
She is right.
A stone sculpture slowly emerged from the wall at the intersection, sitting upright on a stone platform above the wooden planks. It was a three-headed hellhound, enormous in size and incredibly lifelike in detail. Its muscles bulged and bulged, appearing incredibly powerful. Each head had its mouth open, snarling, and looked terrifying. Three pairs of ferocious eyes stared directly at Xuanming.
There was no doubt that when Xuan Ming finished answering the question and the wooden board judged that he was wrong, this stone-carved three-headed hellhound would instantly come alive and launch a fierce attack.
The other twelve people hurriedly retreated away from the stone platform, their expressions full of fear.
"Don't wait for them, let's choose our own path!" Someone shouted hurriedly.
"Wait a little longer! His reasoning process is very clever! He has a very solid foundation in mathematics!" said the talented girl nervously and expectantly.
She could see that this person didn't just write it casually!
Her companions seemed to trust her, so they decided to stay. The others who hadn't formed a team were in a dilemma.
This dungeon requires collective wisdom and unity. If you leave alone, you will end up trapped and dying in the complex secret passage! Thinking of this, those who were hesitant stopped in their tracks one by one.
A few minutes later, Xuan Ming threw the chalk aside, looked at the hellhound sitting on the stone platform, and ordered in a deep voice, "Give me a hint."
He was so arrogant that he didn't even think his answer was wrong.
The girl looked at him in surprise.
The hellhound also lowered its head, looking at Xuanming fiercely but helplessly.
After about ten seconds, one of the hellhounds reluctantly turned to the right fork, offering a hint. This proved that Xuanming's method of argument was correct.
Girl: “!!!”
Others: "...Didn't they say that the Goldbach conjecture has no solution?"
Huangmao and Xiaodao curled their lips, as if laughing at these people's fuss. Their sister-in-law was a genius, there was no problem in the world that a genius couldn't solve!
Xuanming took the lead and walked towards the fork on the right, and everyone hurriedly followed.
The journey was peaceful, with no monsters jumping out to eat people and no ghosts hiding in the darkness to ambush. If you answer the questions correctly, all the deadly traps in the maze will enter a dormant state.
However, the girl knew very well that this kind of dormant state was definitely unique since the opening of the maze world, because the first question was unsolvable!
How to answer the unsolvable questions? If you can't answer them, all the traps will be unlocked one after another, strangling the player.
As the girl walked, she observed the walls on both sides of the secret passage and found that they were covered with bloodstains and dents. There were also many hairs and broken bones in the corners of the walls. These must have been left by previous players.
This shows how dangerous this maze is.
She glanced at Xuan Ming, who was walking in front, and felt truly fortunate. How lucky they were to have met such a cosmic genius who could even solve the Goldbach conjecture in one go!
The others also followed Xuanming closely.
Xuanming kept the video recording function on, filming the scenery along the way.
Zhuang Li, who stayed at home, brought three task managers with him and slipped into the space. The flow of time in the space was adjustable, unlike outside, where he needed to write down the problem-solving process at breakneck speed.
He had just done a lot of things, but in the eyes of others, he was motionless. He just sat in his original position, and suddenly a pile of papers covered with words appeared in front of him.
Objects moving at speeds close to the speed of light stop in time. And right now, Zhuang Li was watching videos and completing exam questions at that speed.
Maintaining this speed is a huge burden for him who is weak.
After returning to the space, he rubbed his extremely numb hands and slowly exhaled. As a top hacker, his hand speed was the only physical skill he could be proud of.
He spread out a piece of paper and wrote a line at a normal speed, "There's a girl in the team who seems very interested in you. If you look at her for even a second, I won't give you the cheat sheet."
Xuan Ming, who was walking in front, suddenly chuckled, and his voice sounded very happy.
Everyone shuddered in fear. It was truly terrifying to suddenly hear a deep laugh in the darkness!
Huangmao and Xiaodao squeezed next to the boss, looked at his task manager, and then covered their mouths and laughed.
Xuan Ming murmured as he walked, "The jealousy jar at home has been overturned."
Huang Mao warned, "Boss, take it easy and don't let your jealousy get any worse. Glancing around can kill people!"
Xiaodao silently blocked the talented girl who wanted to squeeze forward to talk to Xuanming.
Zhuang Li took out another piece of white paper and wrote: [There's a honey jar at home. If you behave well, I'll let you drink it when you come back.]
Xuan Ming let out an even deeper and more joyful laugh.
Xiaodao and Huangmao glanced at his task manager and couldn't help laughing.
It's actually quite fun to brush the copy like this.
After walking through a long and narrow straight road, the fifteen people entered a huge circular palace. There were four doors around the palace, pointing to four directions. Only one direction was a way out, and the rest were dead ends.
If everyone answers the question incorrectly and randomly chooses a path, their chance of survival is only 25%. The chance of survival at the next fork in the road will be even smaller, and so on, and so on, until there is no chance of survival at all.
The previous guess turned out to be correct. The difficulty of the maze increases step by step, and the first level is unsolvable!
The genius girl suddenly panicked and looked towards Xuan Ming quickly.
Xuan Ming raised his head and looked at a wooden board hanging from the palace ceiling. On it was a sentence: [Please find the devil.]
Where is the devil?
Everyone turned around and looked around, only to find that the walls of the circular palace were covered with palm-sized hexagonal LCD screens, densely packed together. At first glance, they looked like the compound eyes of a fly, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
A closer look revealed numbers in the lower left corner of each display screen. The numbers matched the number of screens placed throughout the palace, and the numbered screens weren't arranged in sequence; they were completely randomized.
"What does it mean? Where is the devil?" people kept asking.
The talented girl was also sweating profusely, her heart pounding with panic. She hadn't even understood the problem, let alone solved it! Could it be that a demonic figure was appearing on these screens, and they had to find it quickly? Was this a test of observation?
As soon as she thought of this, all the display screens burst into red light.
Everyone quickly covered their eyes, waiting for their pupils to adapt to the overly saturated colors and overly stimulating brightness.
The palace seemed to have transformed into a volcano about to erupt, and everything in sight was a blood-red. Every screen was a single, glaring red, and the supposed demonic figure was nowhere to be seen!
Everyone tried hard to open their eyes, suppressing the discomfort and looking at each screen, with despair gradually appearing on their faces.
"Where is the devil?" Someone covered his eyes and knelt down.
The genius girl kept turning her head, her face full of confusion and fear. She couldn't solve this problem! She couldn't even understand the meaning of the question!
However, Xuan Ming knew that each screen was not always lit with red light. They were actually flashing red numbers. It was just that these numbers jumped too fast. In one second, they jumped from 1 to 100000000, and then from 100000000 back to 1, and so on.
That is to say, the frequency of these numbers jumping is 1/200000000 seconds per frame.
Such ultra-high-speed operation is naturally just a red light in the eyes of ordinary people.
But Xuanming's eyes were different from those of ordinary people. During combat, he could instantly increase his attack speed to nearly the speed of light, so capturing the numbers on the screen was naturally easy for him.
The difficulty is that he doesn't know what these numbers represent or how they are related to the devil.
So, it was time to cheat. He looked down at the task manager.
Zhuang Li, who also possessed eyes capable of detecting the speed of light, wrote on a piece of paper: "666 is the devil's spiritual number. When the number on each screen jumps to 666, press and hold the screen to stop the counting. This should be the correct answer."
I understand. This question requires lightning-fast eyesight, lightning-fast action, and lightning-fast judgment. Aside from Xuanming and Zhuang Li, no one in the world could possibly solve it.
Xuan Ming raised his head and immediately caught sight of several screens jumping to 666, so he jumped into the air and stopped immediately.
He jumped back and forth in the palace, pressing every screen in a disorderly manner. When he stopped, all the screens showed the same line of numbers - 666.
The others were already dumbfounded. Even at this point, they still couldn't understand what the question meant, nor did they understand what Xuan Ming was doing.
Why did the number 666 appear on the red screen after he pressed it?
What the hell is the solution to this?
