Super God-Level Top Student

Dou Dou uploaded the video of the presentation Qiao Ze gave at the end of April, of course, it was edited. Dou Dou understands his fanbase well, even better than the fans themselves. A video that's too long, these guys don't even want to click on it.

Even if they clicked on it for its sake, if it were Qiao Ze discussing those abstract matters about Super Helical Coordinate System, they would surely watch no more than ten seconds before ruthlessly closing it. Any second longer is a disrespect to their precious time.

Everyone is pretty normal, no need to torture ourselves, right?

So, being considerate, Dou Dou edited the segment from the end of the presentation.

No other way around it, a skilled wife can't cook without rice, this was the only content that might pique everyone's interest and go viral.

One could say that Dou Dou is serious when it comes to recruitment.

Even though the nationwide promotional work had been temporarily halted, ever since Yu Chenggong crowned it as Chief Recruitment Propagandist, without needing any direct instructions, Dou Dou spared no effort in anything that could promote Xilin University of Technology.

Clearly, in Dou Dou's model assessment, the news of Qiao Ze's theories being verified and becoming viral was also beneficial for the promotion of Xilin University of Technology.

And so, Qiao Ze had another classic moment...

"...Ready to show off your stuff?"

"So, how do you think this phrase should be interpreted mathematically?

"...It implies a one-to-one mapping between the Pretentiousness Set and the Show-off Effect Set..."

"Prove this theorem over the weekend."

...

Dou Dou's fans are supportive.

After watching the video, they quickly began to share it. Thanks to the opportunity provided by countless journalists popularizing Quantum Containment Theory, it caught the attention of video-sharing platforms' algorithms, which then started to push it like crazy.

It also allowed the wider internet community to see another side of Qiao Ze as a mentor.

This improvisational way of posing problems also stirred up numerous rants from the netizens.

"Damn, is 2024 this crazy? Gotta prove showing off with math? As someone with only elementary school level math, won't I be unable to show off happily anymore?"

"I'm not a Math major, but let me analyze this shallowly. Pretentiousness reflects a person's perspective and realm and also marks the upper limit of showing off. Like a farmer bragging about the emperor using a golden hoe for farming, this is a typical case where vision limits his need to show off. At the same time, the way one shows off determines its effect, so how to prove this theorem I don't know, as I said at the beginning, I'm not a Math major."

Then there were netizens who launched into self-deprecating Versailles-style posts.

"Sitting in the LV store waiting for my girlfriend, I stumbled upon this video, and my mood suddenly got complicated. Glancing at my Porsche 911 Limited Edition key, I suddenly felt it tasteless. Realizing that being poor is more than a joke if all I have left is money, I decided to smash all the ten-plus cars in my garage that are about the same price as the Porsche 911 this afternoon. After all, with my intelligence, I probably only deserve to drive a Jetta for the rest of my life."

And then, this self-deprecating Versailles style, suddenly, got popular because of Qiao Ze's video.

First with the copywriting, then with various show-off videos going viral.

Overnight, Huaxia seemed to evolve from a place where everyone used to earn a million per month to one where not owning a couple of luxury cars, private yachts, and private planes wouldn't even make you feel comfortable greeting others outside.

Foreigners unfamiliar with Huaxia, if they suddenly started paying attention to Huaxia's short videos that day, would most likely conclude that Huaxia had become the strongest nation in the universe.

In the videos, those young and handsome guys would watch Qiao Ze's presentation video, then with a depressed look, toss away their Bentley keys, and amidst people's persuasions, they'd faintly say that they don't deserve it due to their low IQ, indeed not appearing to be acting.

So, the question arises.

If even the simple-minded can afford a Bentley in Huaxia, just how much could a person with normal intelligence earn? It's frightening to even consider it.

Perhaps even Qiao Ze could never have imagined that a few casual statements at the presentation could ignite an internet trend — self-deprecating Versailles.

Even an official account joined in to surf on the popularity wave.

A large ship in an exercise flashes across the camera, and then a voice-over comes: "No good, no good, ski-jump takeoff is too much of a test for intelligence, smash it, smash it. From now on, let's stick to catapults..."

The camera then cuts to a newer, larger ship.

Then the official account of the land forces immediately came over to comment: "Showing off, huh? Fine! Don't delete it, and at the end of the year, when you pull out that sailboat from the museum crying about poverty during the river crossing, I'll promote this video for you!"

"Bro, I was joking, I'll delete it now!"

"Haha, too late, I've already saved the video."

...

In summary, after Dou Dou's series of moves, probably only the people in Huaxia who don't have smartphones are left not knowing who Qiao Ze is.

It was also during this time that Xi Lin Mathematics Institute officially announced the establishment the Qiao Class and Ze Class on their website.

It can be seen that Xilin University of Technology knows how to use the power of the internet for spreading information, not just Dou Dou.

The Qiao Class focused on number theory, aiming to cultivate future scholars in number theory research, with a planned intake of ten students.

The Ze Class focused on the mathematical foundations of artificial intelligence, mainly studying various algorithms, with a planned enrollment of twenty students.

The numbers are not large, mainly because the requirements for these classes are very high.

Xu Dajiang really was following Qiao Ze's philosophy, striving towards a Princeton-like approach, with serious entry and exit standards. Even the recruitment advertisements were different.

"If you are not absolutely confident in yourself, we do not recommend applying to Qiao Class or Ze Class. These experimental classes don't set a pass rate for professors, and there are no graduation rate requirements over four years. Here we only teach the latest and most cutting-edge knowledge, with all teaching materials personally selected by Professor Qiao Ze."
