Before the banquet started, He Run finally made up his mind and stood up suddenly.

Qin Gan was startled by him and shouted, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to persuade him." He Run said, as if comforting himself: "He is the one who can march into the Holy Cliff. Not to mention spending his precious time in the secular world, he will spend it on the wild star warlock. , it’s all a waste.”

Qin Gan widened his eyes and watched He Run leave.

It was really flying in mid-air.

After passing through the dense crowd and the low tables and chairs, he finally found Cheng Jinzhou. However, He Run saw a young and immature face, looking up and giving orders to the two star warlocks - he suddenly couldn't make up his mind.

Is such a talented star warlock a blessing or a curse?

"Of course, irrational numbers are numbers. Although they are neither integers nor fractions, we must first affirm that they exist independently and can be continuously approximated by rational numbers. Doesn't our calculus possess this ability? Tool?" Cheng Jinzhou's voice seemed to come from the distant horizon, but his soft tone was like a hard stone, hitting He Run's fantasy shell hard.

There was a shattering sound of "bang", and He Run stayed there.

Irrational numbers are another new field.

The so-called irrational numbers are numbers such as π (pi), infinite non-repeating decimals that no one can ever trace. This kind of number was not taken seriously at the beginning of its creation. Mathematicians usually use it to facilitate calculations, but in the face of more rigorous content such as proofs, they will definitely try to avoid it.

Just like gentlemen of a slightly later era, thinking about calculus.

In the number system, if real numbers are like wives, easy to use and easy to introduce to others, then irrational numbers are like lovers, easy to use but difficult to introduce, and they need to be hidden to avoid being discovered by other serious scholars. He learned the secret of his own calculations.

However, after lovers have been doing it for a long time, they always want to seize the position of the big wife. At this time, it is the mathematicians' turn to be overwhelmed and overwhelmed - they want to use it, but it is difficult to use it, but they can't bear to give it up.

Whether it is Xingzhou or Shengya, they have been quarreling over the issue of irrational numbers for a long time. Daxia is slightly weaker, and new people will still come out to yell a few words every few years.

Generally speaking, if a high-level astromancer is not specialized in this, he will not easily stir up such a controversial topic. If he is given the name of "talking big", his life will be ruined.

However, He Run became frightened when he heard Cheng Jinzhou say in an understatement that "irrational numbers should be numbers" rather than "geometric symbols" as more star warlocks thought.

That's because he is really afraid and what Cheng Jinzhou said is correct.

In the past two days, he had read all of Cheng Jinzhou's papers and understood the history of his writing better than anyone else.

This understanding can easily turn into fear.

The fear of knowledge is the greatest fear of mankind.

He Run suddenly turned around and returned to the banquet.

He comforted himself—perhaps Cheng Jinzhou wasting some of his genius and actually making a contribution to the entire world of Star Warlocks. At least it is a contribution to this generation.

Cheng Jinzhou looked back unconsciously, gave Shi Yan two instructions, and then spoke very fast.

Unlike gentlemen who are successful and famous, the higher his status, the more things he can say without having to hide them. Irrational numbers are one of the cornerstones of the development of mathematics, and must be established both emotionally and rationally.

The star warlocks who listened to him secretly said that the trip was worthwhile. They would definitely not dare to copy the results of the three star warlocks, but it was not difficult to add Cheng Jinzhou's name to the article.

Speeches made in public have the same right to publish papers, which is one of the privileges of high-level astrologers, so Jiang Huang and others listened and did not stop him. This kind of occasion is just like giving a speech at a conference, but it is slightly less formal.

The star warlocks were in the inner banquet hall, listening to Cheng Jinzhou's speech-like explanation, while the wealthy businessmen and nobles were chatting excitedly in the outer hall.

In the eyes of Cheng Jinzhou and others, association contribution points are just convertible credit currency, but in the eyes of businessmen of this era, they have an extraordinary role. They are currencies that can truly be traded with star warlocks.

If gold, silver, and copper coins represent the labor value of ordinary people, then the association contribution points represent the labor value of star warlocks. In other words, if you want to deal with Star Warlocks, or even hire Star Warlocks, you absolutely need Association Contribution Points.

Back then, Cheng Jinzhou used the association's contribution points to bribe the minister of Dali Temple in order to help his father get out of jail. Considering that even ministerial-level officials cannot escape the temptation of Star Warlock's contribution points, you can understand where everyone's excitement comes from.

Liu Qingshuang smiled and chatted with several ladies. The outer hall is more like a Western-style banquet, allowing people to move around and communicate. This is also the time when ladies are most exposed to society.

However, people usually don't touch the food while walking around, so they mostly brush the decorations with their hands and talk in low voices.

In the crowd, Liu Qingshuang naturally became the center of conversation like stars holding the moon.

Her movements are extremely elegant, her lotus steps move lightly like dancing, and the smiles she sends out from time to time are like subtle flowers. The subtlety of a lady from an official family, after the brewing of her noble status, her grace comes naturally.

Countless people's eyes were attracted to it, but they moved away without leaving any trace.

Cheng Jinhao is one of the few people who keeps an eye on Liu Qingshuang.

In the past year, the status of Cheng Bingxun and his son has changed. To the outside world, they are very popular as the legitimate sons and grandsons of the Cheng family. However, within the Cheng family, the Qingzi branch increasingly looks like they have all the power. Not only have the power of the three branches been greatly reduced, Cheng Bingxun and Cheng Jinhao It is constantly marginalized.

A year ago, Cheng Jinhao was still a young man who was qualified to flatter Liu Qingshuang. A year later, he could only hang around those noble ladies who didn't know the truth.

"It's really better to move to Hanting." He remembered his father's words one day and wished he could leave Daxia now and become a true nobleman.

The buzz in the banquet hall suddenly stopped, and then became extremely quiet.

Cheng Jinhao didn't need to look up to know that Cheng Jinzhou had arrived.

He secretly cursed "flattery" twice and quietly backed away.

Cheng Jinzhou walked into the outer hall with a smile on his face. He was surrounded by Bishop Kande and Jiang Huangxing Warlock. He Run and Qin Gan fell behind. It was the existence of these two people that made the two Star Warlock practitioners who were originally under house arrest completely become As a prisoner, it is difficult to appear in front of the world.

They are probably depressed in the room right now.

Bishop Kant was dressed more formally, with a wide-collared coat with tassels hanging from it, like a civilian version of a general's uniform, and Xingzhou-style ironed trousers on his lower body, but when it came to his feet, the eight-clawed trousers looked like split petals. The shoes still revealed his "artistic talent".

Everyone stood up and saluted. The nobles had expectations on their faces, while the merchants were anxious in their anticipation.

Although the Daxia court discriminated against merchants politically, it never forgot them when it spent money. Naturally, everyone is worried that they have fallen into some kind of tax trap again.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't care what they were thinking. He sat down with a polite smile and said, "Let's get started."

Shi Mo immediately raised his voice and shouted: "The Contribution Point Trading Fair has officially begun - please deliver the quantity and documents you want to purchase to the box on the left."

At the same time, Xiang Xin, as the host, said the same thing in the inner hall where the star warlocks were.

The star warlocks were mostly indifferent, while the merchants were surprised. According to their thinking, the host must at least elevate the meaning of the contribution points and waste more than ten minutes of talking before starting, without even reacting for a moment.

After three or four seconds, there was uneven applause.

Cheng Jinzhou sat there calmly, with no emotion or anger on his face.

The current situation is very much like a combination of an auction house and the stock market. Coupled with the scarcity of contribution points, it is not surprising to sell for sky-high prices.

However, out of long-term considerations, Cheng Jinzhou did not do this.

He is more worried that someone's price is too high, which will affect the next transaction - what he wants is credit currency, not a one-time transaction.

Anyone who works in the finance and banking industry pays attention to cutting with a dull knife. Especially in the beginning, sharpening the knife is the most important thing.

So, amid the strange expressions on everyone's faces, the receipts were stuffed into the boxes on the stage.

"How many?" Lu Xu asked purely out of curiosity.

"It's estimated to be more than a hundred points." Xiang Xin put the box on the table and said.

In her opinion, more than a hundred points is equivalent to a two-star warlock getting all the star points, which is a quite high number.

A few star warlocks came out of the inner hall, and more people talked to each other as if to watch the fun.

Those who are most concerned about price and quantity are actually not the low-level star warlocks that people imagine, but those two- and three-star star warlocks. Seeing that they have no hope of breaking through the level restrictions, it is actually common for them to sell some of them. On the contrary, it is difficult for Star Warlock apprentices to obtain contribution points, and they are especially worried about not being able to repurchase them in time when they advance, unlike high-level Star Warlocks who have greater room for maneuver.

When you reach the level of a high-level star warlock, just like Cheng Jinzhou now, you will inevitably have to deal with the entire society. The result of no longer working behind closed doors is the consumption of a lot of gold and silver.

If the price is significantly higher than trading in the association, they will of course be willing to exchange for more funds.

Some people even thought that maybe they could sell the contribution points to the trade fair and then find a way to buy them from the association.

There are definitely not just one or two people who have this idea. Some businessmen have even thought of this a long time ago, and the certification stones in their hands are full of sweat stains.

Gentlemen who go to sea all year round are quite familiar with the world outside Daxia and the speed of communication between the two worlds.

If you make two transactions before the time, you may become rich.

Cheng Jinzhou closed his eyes slightly and waited for several star warlock apprentices to calculate the price.

Also calm and relaxed were several nobles from aristocratic families. They were already familiar with the sale of contribution points. After communicating with each other, they consciously agreed on a sure price, and naturally there was no need to worry about gains and losses.

Soon, Xiang Xin handed a note to Cheng Jinzhou and said in a strange tone: "The price is out."
