Super God-Level Top Student

Chapter 111: Chapter 85 I enjoy having interesting interactions with this world (Additional chapter for monthly pass)_2

"Ah?" Kori Durant was stunned.

This news was equally unexpected to him.

He still remembered the decided look on his mentor's face during the lesson half a month earlier.

But now, it seemed that the situation had exceeded his mentor's expectations.

"Then... we can only let them publish first, and we'll submit our paper afterward," said Kori Durant with some gloominess.

In the end, he hadn't been able to avoid this.

Thinking about the countless eyes that would focus on his peer from Huaxia, this mathematical prodigy from the University of Cologne couldn't help but feel bitter.

"But actually, there's another way..." Ackerman Konietz said hesitantly, clearly struggling with himself.

"Hmm?" Kori Durant looked at his mentor in surprise.

A moment later, Ackerman Konietz made up his mind and began to speak with a steady voice, "Include that part in our paper without citation. Of course, you'll have to dress up the proof process a bit. It's really not a big deal, what you are citing is just a more important lemma proof process in their paper, and it's not very significant.

Even if their paper is published in the future, it won't have much impact."

"Can this... really work?" Kori Durant asked his mentor in disbelief.

"The part you're citing should not exceed five percent of the paper's originality; even if added completely unaltered, it won't make a big difference to either paper. It could be explained that everyone was coincidentally following a similar line of thought while considering this proposition. It's just a matter of getting over the psychological hurdle.

Ok, I'll admit it's not the most honorable thing to do, but sometimes we don't need to be too rigid about these things. After all, you only lost because you were too complacent before.

As long as you take this as a wakeup call, your future achievements won't be inferior to theirs, and then, everything you do today will be worth it," said Ackerman Konietz in a very affirmative tone which became more fluent as he spoke.

Perhaps this advice was not just for persuading the student, but also for persuading himself, and clearly, he had succeeded.

Yes, the suggestion was indeed somewhat excessive, but he made it out of consideration for his prized student's feelings.

Nothing was more important than keeping his disciple's confidence intact.

"Go on, do as I say, revise the paper, and I will help you polish it directly on the draft today. I'll also get back to the publisher, we will submit the paper the day after tomorrow at the latest, and I will be the corresponding author. That's settled then," said Ackerman Konietz with a wave of his hand.

"Alright, Mr. Konett," said Kori Durant, managing his emotions, with a complex look on his face as he turned and left Ackerman Konietz's office.

Ackerman watched Kori Durant's retreating figure and sighed internally.

He could only do so much now and hoped the boy would learn from this lesson.

Don't waste your talent again!

...

This year I promised Xu, so I had to take the exams, but next year I won't participate." Qiao Ze replied simply.

"What about you? Are you going to apply for Jieqing this year?"

"I'm not in a hurry. I've looked it up, the youngest Jieqing is 36 years old. I can wait a few more years to apply."

"How can you not be in a rush? I think you should apply with Li, and if both of you become Jieqing in the same year, it would be a great story for the future."

"I don't meet the conditions. Jieqing requires not being enrolled in any degree program, and at the very least, one should hold a PhD."

"Can't exceptions be made? If that doesn't work, just tell the school you want a PhD, and then hurry up and write three more papers: one for undergrad, one for master's, and one for the PhD graduation. I think our school is pretty reasonable, after all, you're capable of guiding those professors, so getting a PhD isn't a stretch, right?

Let's see, it's just the end of June now, there's still more than a month until August, you'll definitely be fine."

"Hmm... next time I see Uncle Xu, I'll ask him about it."

Chen Yiwen silently listened to their conversation.

Find adventures on мѵʟ

His feelings became complicated again.

How could such preposterous suggestions be made so matter-of-factly?

But then thinking about the things Qiao Ze had done, it didn't seem so preposterous after all.

Hmm...

Mainly because this guy is just too damn outrageous!

Finally arriving at the girls' dormitory, Chen Yiwen watched as Su Mucheng bounced back to her room, then he silently walked over to Qiao Ze's side, taking Su Mucheng's place.

After asking about two Group Theory problems that had troubled him all day, Qiao Ze answered seriously. Seeing that they were about to reach the dorm, Chen Yiwen couldn't help but ask, "Qiao Ze, if the school really gives you a PhD directly, won't you just graduate? Will you stay at the school then?"

"Hmm?" Qiao Ze frowned slightly, then said, "Not in a hurry, that's next month's issue. This month's task is to get the papers written. Today I've already outlined the drafts for two papers, and I should be able to finish them tomorrow."

"Oh, so will our version still iterate tomorrow?"

"Today Li asked me to encrypt the algorithm and the main program, and then he's going to find someone to do a more formal test. We have to wait for Li's results."

"I see! Oh, I just heard from Su Mucheng that your first paper was held up... that won't affect the subsequent submissions, will it?"

Chen Yiwen was genuinely concerned about this issue since he was the designated third author.

"It won't affect it, we've already proven the theory's feasibility, and we're about to validate it. This time when we submit our papers, we'll also have the relevant experimental data as evidence, and a third-party verification report. Actually, I'm quite looking forward to it, prepared with so much, they could hold us up again. Don't you think this kind of exchange is interesting?"

Chen Yiwen stared at Qiao Ze in surprise, and though his face showed no special expression, he felt that this usually reticent guy had particularly bright eyes today.
