Super God-Level Top Student

When the big shots were dining at the hotel, Huaqing's friend circle and BBS had already started to flood with posts.

"This is the first time I've experienced the feeling of being intellectually crushed, a friendly reminder, don't attend God Qiao's report meeting unless you're invited. Even if you are invited, you better weigh your own capabilities. Pure substance throughout! Not a single useless word, but I just can't understand, can't understand at all!"

"Now I know why God Qiao's papers are easily published in 'Mathematics Annual.' After sitting through the entire report meeting, it really felt like we are living in different dimensions from God Qiao."

"Don't know what to say. Although God Qiao is indeed powerful, it feels like he's too arrogant! Okay, I admit I didn't understand either."

"Folks, remember not to ask random questions at God Qiao's report meeting. If he thinks the question is stupid, he really will turn his head and walk away! To be honest, that does seem a bit rude."

"There's another report meeting by God Qiao tomorrow at Yanbei, and I advise those gods from the School of Mathematics on the other side to think twice. If you haven't understood God Qiao's papers, don't even attend. Don't humiliate yourselves!"

...

All these gripes came with pictures, which were basically photos of the blackboards and a few formulas on the projection screen taken at today's report meeting, as well as shots of Qiao Ze's expressionless face while presenting.

There are often exchanges between the two schools since they are only separated by a street, and soon these gripes spread from Huaqing to Yanbei.

Part of the prestige of a top university is the frequency with which it invites renowned scholars to the school to give various reports to faculty and students.

This is especially true for subjects like mathematics and physics, which inherently require academic exchange. Report meetings like these are actually quite abundant.

Almost every month, more than a dozen such events are arranged.

For students who hope to advance academically, these interesting report meetings are not to be missed.

It doesn't matter if they can't understand; even if they just gain a slight grasp of the current research frontiers, or even just a new idea, it is often more beneficial than burying their heads in textbooks.

Because what these big shots talk about can't be found in textbooks or the readings recommended by professors.

Moreover, with the love-hate relationship between the two schools, these complaints quickly led to a wave of ridicule.

"When did a report meeting full of substance become a negative term? We want substance, right? Who would want to attend a meeting full of rubbish chatter!"

"Haha, Huaqing friends' griping is so funny, saying God Qiao left mid-meeting was rude? They didn't even reflect on whether their own questions were too stupid! Good thing I chose Yanbei; if I had gone to Huaqing, my life would be ruined."

"Those who say God Qiao is arrogant are probably just jealous. I bet if that bunch could publish two papers a week in a journal like 'Mathematics Annual,' they'd be more arrogant than God Qiao."

"I wasn't planning to attend God Qiao's report meeting tomorrow. After all, I'm not too interested in the direction of his research. But after the trash talk from the other side, I really want to go and see it. After all, I need to see just how bad the other side is!"

...

In response to the ridicule from the other side, Huaqing showed considerable restraint.

Even the young geniuses from the Wisdom Class didn't have much to say.

Retaliating with a tit-for-tat had no meaning at this point; it would only amplify the mockery.

After all, people rarely listen to advice.

Only when one experiences it for themselves do they understand.

So, the group chat was the most they boiled over.

The most liked comment was probably, "Heh, don't bother with them. Once they attend Qiao Ze's report meeting tomorrow, they'll understand naturally!"

Meanwhile, at Yanbei University School of Mathematics, many students and graduate students became even more excited about the next day's report meeting because of the complaints from Huaqing's students. Their curiosity about the content of the report, and even more about Qiao Ze himself, grew.

Although the comments about the other side were usually harsh, no one really thought that students who could get into Huaqing lacked intelligence.

But the feeling of indignation was definitely real, because everyone sincerely believed that Yanbei had to be stronger than Huaqing, at least in the field of natural sciences.

...

On the other side, after finishing dinner, Zhang Hongcai followed the group from Xilin University of Technology to the Long Residence Hotel.

This hotel was carefully chosen by Yu Chenggong as the best and also the closest to both Yanbei and Huaqing.

Anyone else would have saved the money.

Being invited for the report meeting, the inviting party was certainly expected to take care of accommodations.

But this time the school was quite generous.

The allocated funds were too much; they simply couldn't use it all up.

They even directly advised against staying in the guest houses inside the two universities.

Yu Chenggong, naturally, wasn't going to help the school save money.

No way, staying on someone else's turf involves too many uncontrollable factors.

Facing the two universities, Huaqing and Yanbei, Xilin University of Technology didn't have much confidence.

This was also why Yu Chenggong really didn't want Zhang Hongcai to come to the hotel.

But since Li Jiangao personally invited him, Yu couldn't offend Li's dignity, so he could only accompany Zhang Hongcai directly to Qiao Ze's room.

He definitely wouldn't understand the things these scholars talked about; his main role was to accompany them.

Luckily he had booked a deluxe suite for Qiao Ze, with a one-bedroom, one-living room layout, the living room being around fifteen square meters, ample enough to accommodate three to five people without feeling cramped.

Moreover, Yu Chenggong had a clear role for himself: he was a service provider.

Upon entering, he immediately took the initiative to make tea and pour water for everyone. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
