Chapter 21 Famous abroad

"Task: Be famous at home and abroad, boy. Completion level 50%." Li Mo, who was lying on the bed and looking through the taskbar boredly, was surprised to see this data. He didn't know any foreigners.

When he couldn't decide anything, he asked for a search. Li Mo opened the search on his mobile phone and directly entered the keyword "Li Mo."

"The keyword "Li Mo" you searched has 5.8 million web pages"

The first "Li Mo (Ming Dynasty Minister)" is not.

The second "Musician Li Mo" is not.

...

Finally I came across this blog post posted by a foreign student on Weibo.

"Everyone, come and worship the great god. Domestic first-year high school students have solved the world's mathematical problems. The Internet has gone crazy." is the title. A screenshot of Twitter is attached. In the screenshot, there are many avatars staring at foreign names and reacting to this news.

Like "good!", "chinese?", "student?".

It seems that his thesis has been sent abroad, and the task will be completed soon. Li Mo prefers to do system tasks now. Compared with the high rewards of system tasks, the points obtained by "Gan Shu" are just mosquito meat.

At the "Mathematical Monthly" magazine, Wei Xiaonian, who was reviewing "civilian scientist papers", frowned after receiving a phone call. He thought for a moment, knocked on the door and entered the editor-in-chief's office.

"Xiao Nian, come and sit down. What can I do?" Editor Wang stood up from the pile of magazines and poured him a glass of water.

Ever since Wei Xiaonian discovered Li Mo's paper among a pile of "fantasy novels," his status in the magazine has been increasing day by day. At least Editor Wang will no longer shoot him with sharp eyes every time he sees him.

Wei Xiaonian took the water poured by the editor and whispered: "Professor Wang, I just received a call from a foreign country."

"Where's the foreign phone number?" Editor Wang, who was still checking the documents, didn't pay attention.

"It's a female classmate of mine. She is currently studying for a master's degree at Princeton." Wei Xiaonian came to the desk and said.

"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't bother your mother-in-law." Professor Wang couldn't stand Wei Xiaonian's hesitation. In fact, in Editor Wang's mind, Wei Xiaonian was a very good young man, but he was just indecisive in doing things, which he couldn't deal with.

"She is asking me for information about Li Mo." Wei Xiaonian saw that the editor was angry and said quickly.

"Li Mo, is that Li Mo who proved Koraz's conjecture? Why is she asking about this?" Professor Wang immediately put down the document in his hand and asked alertly.

"It seems that her tutor, Professor Willson, asked her to ask for information about Li Mo." Wei Xiaonian saw Professor Wang's expression and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Willson, that Willson from Princeton? He is famous for his unique vision, and he often finds talented students from other countries. The now popular Apache was discovered by him from India. It is said that Apache has won this year's

Nominated for the Fields Medal." When it comes to Professor Willson, Professor Wang still knows about it.

"Willson asked what Li Mo wanted to do. Could it be that he wanted to lure Li Mo to Princeton?" Professor Wang put forward his own guess.

"My classmate didn't tell me clearly, he just asked for Li Mo's contact information from me." Wei Xiaonian realized that he had done something wrong.

"You, you, let me tell you what you are good at. Although there are many mathematical talents in our country, there are not many who engage in basic mathematics. Mathematics requires talent. A genius like Li Mo who can prove conjectures on his own at the age of 17 is more

It’s unprecedented.”

"I have already discussed it with your teacher, Professor Wu. I originally planned to recruit him to study at Yanda University next semester, but now it seems a bit late. I want to discuss it with Lao Wu again." Editor Wang looked at Wei Xiaonian and lowered his head.

Looking at the pitiful state of his head, he thought for a while and said in a calm tone, "Actually, I am not against Li Mo studying abroad, but he should spend his undergraduate degree in China."

"Think about how many of those who went to study abroad in high school returned home after completing their studies." As he said that, he ignored Wei Xiaonian and pushed out the door.

"Li Mo, I have your phone number!" His mother's voice in the living room dragged him out of the "Liver Book".

"Hello, I'm Li Mo, who is this?" Li Mo took the phone and asked.

"Hello, I am Zhang Xuemei, a student at Princeton. Do you know Wei Xiaonian? He and I are classmates. It was Wei Xiaonian who gave me your phone number." Zhang Xuemei, who was on the other side of the phone, heard Li Mo answer the phone and said with a smile.

After she gave Li Mo's phone number to the professor, the professor gave her a new task, which was to contact Li Mo.

"It's Wei Xiaonian, a reporter from Mathematics Monthly. We met a few days ago." Li Mo relaxed after hearing Wei Xiaonian's name.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Our Princeton Mathematics Department intends to invite you to study abroad at Princeton and provide you with a full scholarship. Are you interested?" Zhang Xueyan across from me asked proactively. She really couldn't do anything to poach people, but she was coerced by the professor.

She had to do this, and now she just wanted to end this phone call quickly.

"Princeton, study abroad?" Li Mo was a little confused. He had never thought about studying abroad.

"You don't have to make a decision in such a hurry. Princeton, the world's number one science school, will be looking forward to your arrival." The person on the other side of the phone clearly heard his hesitation.

Li Mo hung up the phone and sat blankly next to the sofa. "Whose phone number?" Li Mo's mother handed over a plate of grapes while eating. "I don't know, Princeton invited me to study abroad."

"What kind of school is Princeton?" Li Mo's mother had already been mentally prepared for him to enter college as soon as possible. Since Li Mo's paper was published, she bought hundreds of copies and distributed them to relatives and friends she knew. Some knowledgeable friends advised her to

She asked Li Mo to go to college as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that this day would come so early, and it would be a school whose name she had never heard of.

"In the United States, it is the number one university in the world."

"How much is the tuition fee? It seems that the money your dad and I saved to buy a house can't be used now. We will take it out tomorrow." When Li Mo's mother heard about studying abroad, the first reaction was the tuition fee.

"No tuition fee, full scholarship." Li Mo replied, "It's so good, when are you going to go?" Li Mo's mother immediately became happy when she heard that there was no tuition fee.

"It will be a year before I go. I haven't decided yet. I'll think about it again," Li Mo replied.

"No matter what you do, mom will support you." Li Mo's mother found that her son was becoming more and more independent.

Li Mo originally wanted to study for his undergraduate degree in China. Undergraduate education in China is no worse than abroad. With his current mathematics level, studying abroad may not necessarily be of any benefit. However, no school in China has sent him an invitation.
