Tik put the [Arcane Ring] on his index finger with a dark face, and then didn't go back, and went straight to find a place in the front hall and sat down,

It was a wonderful feeling, as if his perspective had been split into two parts, and in front of him was an extremely spacious exhibition hall with rows of bookshelves displayed inside, like a complicated labyrinth.

Tik soon realizes that this is supposed to be a realm made of pure magic, but to his surprise, everything here is a little too real.

The oxygen you breathe, the breeze that blows, and the white marble bricks under your feet......

If he didn't know that he was just a mixture of magic and spirit, he would have wondered if he was still in the real world.

Tick walked to a bookshelf in amazement, caressing the stacked books, where even the texture of the pages could be perfectly simulated.

He casually pulled out a book, "The Fundamentals and Research of Olympiad Mathematics", opened the title page, and wrote it in black ink. "Olympiad is a discipline that studies the concepts of quantity, structure, change, space and information, and is a general means of rigorously describing and deriving the abstract structure and pattern of things, which can be used to solve any practical and magical problems......"

"Is this the Olympiad?" Tik muttered to himself, he had been exposed to the Olympiad for two or three months, but it was the first time he had seen such a precise and inductive explanation.

The page in his hand shook suddenly, and then automatically levitated in Tick's stunned gaze, drifting in a certain direction.

Tick paused, then realized that this was supposed to guide him to the meeting place.

Passing through the walls of books, Tik soon found himself in the center of the library, where several of his acquaintances were well-versed in math and alchemy.

Eleven people were gathering to talk, and one of the wizards sneered when he saw Tik walking by.

"I didn't expect the last person to be you, Tik, I have to say, you're a little late, we've been waiting for you for a while."

"I'm sorry, Alva, I thought you guys would be slower, so I took the time to get a long night's sleep last night and take care of my appearance, but I didn't want to miss the hour." Tik raised an eyebrow and replied with ease.

"You're very leisurely, just in time to come to the end ......" Alva naturally didn't believe a word of Tik's statement, mockingly mocked, didn't bother to expose it, and continued to speak.

"We were just discussing the second Olympiad problem, but I don't know how long it took you, and what method did you use to calculate the result?"

Tik replied with a groan. This question is actually very easy to solve, as long as you change your thinking, you can get the answer.

Since the first monkey found that the total number of peaches could not be divided equally, and there was one more, it would be better to assume that if we had given them four more peaches at the beginning, each monkey would have been able to divide the peaches equally.

So the problem is much simpler, the peaches are divided a total of five times, and each time they can be divided into fifths, so the total number of peaches is five to the fifth power, three thousand one hundred and twenty-five! Just subtract the first four to get the final answer! ”

Seven of the eleven people in the room nodded, and Tik's method was the same as theirs, while the rest compared it with their own ideas for solving the problem.

"As for solving this problem, it took me about five... No... Four hours. Tik said with a slight emptiness.

"It only took me three hours and twenty-seven minutes!" Alva said proudly that at the Alchemy Association's internal seminar last year, the new type of magic circle he proposed was picked out by Tik with a lot of loopholes, and this time he finally pulled back the game.

Tik looked at the rest of the people rather depressed, and found that the time they took to solve this problem was basically about three to five hours, which meant that most of them were faster than him.

"Two hours!" Ellison, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.

The wizards present looked at Ellison with the appearance of a mountain looking up.

This question is not very difficult, but for Alva who have not systematically studied Olympiad mathematics in the past, it is not easy to turn the corner for a while.

How could it be so fast?

Tik couldn't help but ask a few more questions, and then found out that Ellison was able to come up with the result so quickly, not because of his efforts alone, but because he mobilized dozens of apprentices to work with him on the question, and he got the answer by exhaustion!

Everyone else has also communicated and discussed with their colleagues to a greater or lesser extent.

After learning this, Tik's whole person was messy, these people didn't even talk about martial arts, no wonder they were so fast!

As a result, he was the only one doing the questions honestly......

Just as Tik was secretly cursing in his heart, the entire magic space shook heavily, and then countless heavy books floated out of the shelves, the pages flew apart, and the rows of complex operation symbols seemed to be alive, freed from the shackles of books, surrounded in the void, outlining three-dimensional patterns.

"Welcome to the Sea of Mathematics ......"

With a deep and deep voice, these restless knowledge gradually calmed down.

Tik turned his head to see a wizard with curly hair and brown robes walking toward him.

The scattered books returned to their original positions under the influence of some force, and only those strange symbols were still surrounding the void, as if they were unwilling to return to the cage built by the books.

"You can call me Leibniz!" The wizard politely introduced.

"Master Leibniz." Tik and the others immediately respectfully said, for a great wizard, or a pioneer in the Olympiad mathematics, they all maintained enough respect.

"I heard Lord Lynn say that you came to us specifically to solve a problem that plagues the Olympiad mathematical community?" Alva was not so polite, and was the first to ask, which was also a question that everyone was extremely curious about.

"Not bad!" Leibniz nodded, then explained. "It all started because I made a bet with another wizard named Zeno, who was recently preparing to race against a turtle and let him run a hundred meters first, and then he set out to catch up, and he could run ten meters per second, while the turtle could only travel ten centimeters per second......"

"Zeno thinks he'll never catch up with that turtle, and I need to prove he can do it!"

(PS: I was going to add more when I had two days off, but I had to work overtime, so I had to wait for the time off...... Miserable. ）
