chapter 100
100: The Solver of All Equations
“Achoo…”
Wu Liang, in the midst of class, couldn’t help but sneeze.
Hmm? Was someone mentioning him, or was it something else that caused this sudden chill?
It felt as if he was being watched, an unsettling sensation.
“Wu Liang, are you catching a cold?”
Nan Zhu poked Wu Liang’s back and handed him a few tissues.
It seemed like Wu Liang’s spirit had been off all afternoon.
He looked so sleepy—could it be a lack of rest?
“It’s nothing, I think someone just mentioned me.”
Wu Liang waved his hand to show he was fine, yet he felt puzzled.
What was this chill about? It felt like something ominous was going to happen to him.
“But Han Yu and He Xue, those two didn’t come this afternoon…”
Wu Liang glanced at the empty seats of Han Yu and He Xue, frowning slightly.
If it were He Xue, he could understand, but why hadn’t Han Yu come to class?
He had some questions for Han Yu; that girl seemed more than meets the eye.
Ning Shuang had also warned him to be wary of Han Yu.
But she didn’t explain what exactly was wrong with Han Yu.
This made Wu Liang pay attention; after all, his previous feeling about Han Yu was indeed strange.
“I’ll have to ask another day.”
Wu Liang rubbed his head in irritation; too many things had happened today.
So much that his brain seemed unable to contain all these issues.
Han Yu, Ning Shuang, Yao Shi, Su Xi—all their matters piled up on this single day.
But what concerned him most was the matter between Han Yu and Ning Shuang, especially what Ning Shuang meant by warning him about Han Yu.
“Wu Liang! Stand up and solve this set of equations!!”
The call from the front snapped Wu Liang back to reality.
The middle-aged woman with glasses looked at him displeased, probably because he had been distracted.
“Set of equations…”
Wu Liang projected the realization onto the screen next to the girl.
Staring at the formula set that was too familiar, Wu Liang rubbed his temples to ease the information overload in his brain.
Ah, such a headache, perhaps I’ve overused my brain piecing together Ning Shuang’s past fragments.
“Wu Liang, this formula should be solved like this…”
“Wu Liang, I’ve written it in my notebook, take a look quickly.”
“Look here, look here, I’ve written it on my uniform, look here fast!”
Just as Nan Zhu wanted to whisper a reminder to Wu Liang, the girls around him started chattering and calling out to him.
Many of them even passed their notebooks with the answers to Wu Liang.
But in such a noisy situation, as soon as one voice rose, it was immediately drowned out by another from behind.
So much so that it was incredibly noisy around Wu Liang, making it impossible to hear clearly who was speaking.
“Wu Liang, I’ve reminded you more than once, and you never take my words seriously.”
“If you continue to degenerate like this, your grades won’t be enough for you to advance, don’t you understand the importance?”
The middle-aged woman looked at Wu Liang with dissatisfaction, but she didn’t dare to scold him harshly.
Wu Liang was the young master of the Wu family, and what did the Wu family mean? They were a golden family that could cover the sky with one hand in Yanghai City.
They were one of the three golden giants, known alongside two other families, not someone she could afford to provoke.
But if Wu Liang continued like this, he would inevitably fail to advance, which would affect her reputation.
So even if she couldn’t scold Wu Liang harshly, she needed to warn him more.
“Substitute X3 into the y-axis for a double conversion exercise… to get a…”
Wu Liang, pressing his temples, spoke faintly, completely ignoring the whispers of the girls around him.
It was just high school-level equation solving, after all, he wasn’t going to be stumped by such things.
And for some reason, Wu Liang always felt an astonishing change from the inside out.
Not just physically, but even his brain’s thinking had undergone a qualitative improvement.
He could now clearly recite the fragments of the books he had glanced at before, without missing a word.
“Wu Liang, if you don’t know, don’t mess around here…”
“Wait… what did you just say…”
The middle-aged woman about to scold Wu Liang suddenly froze, the words stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
What had Wu Liang just said? Did he just recite all the correct steps???
“Wait… do you know how to solve this problem…”
The middle-aged woman, coming back to her senses, hurriedly opened up an even more complex problem than before.
No, that must have been a coincidence, or perhaps the students around were reminding Wu Liang.
Yes, it must be that. Wu Liang must have received a hint from someone to solve the formula.
“This problem is a typical complex double structure, it looks quite complicated, but you only need to…”
Almost without thinking, as soon as the problem was projected, Wu Liang blurted out the answer.
And he broke down the solution steps into each small segment, one could say he dissected the problem to the extreme.
“Bring it on! I really don’t believe this can stump you.”
The middle-aged woman, seeing that Wu Liang was not at all confounded, also became interested.
Oh my, what a day to see a ghost, Wu Liang actually guessed two problems in a row correctly.
And not just guessed them right, he even explained the decomposition of the formulas without missing a single word, completely correct.
Today must be the day the sun rose from the west, she just couldn’t believe this anomaly, could it be that Wu Liang has really become enlightened?
“As you wish.”
Wu Liang yawned and stretched vigorously.
Well, since the other party wants to play, then let her accompany the other party for a bit.
After all, these are just high school-level problems, he was at least half a top student before.
This level of problem shouldn’t be too embarrassing for him, however…
“But this feeling of the answer directly appearing in my mind… it is indeed a bit strange…”
Wu Liang mused, chin in hand.
He didn’t even think, but as soon as he saw the problem, an extremely detailed solution process and the answer emerged in his mind.
This strange sensation made Wu Liang somewhat doubtful, although his grades were quite good when he was in school, he had never reached this level of instant response.
“Never mind, maybe after trying a few more problems, I’ll know the answer.”
Wu Liang looked at the middle-aged woman, her face flushed with excitement, and couldn’t help but get goosebumps.
No way, sir, you get this excited just doing a problem with me here? What’s this, a beaver?
