The Daily Life of American Drama Detective

Chapter 99 East Coast Math Circle

Faced with Peggy's funny jokes, Monica didn't find it funny at all.

As Peggy's guardian, she had naturally seen Professor Harlan Epland, but she never expected that such a fat man who made people feel friendly would have such a quirk!

He doesn’t like the gap between himself and numbers, so he likes to take off his clothes to solve problems... Naked Professor?

Just thinking about it is a bit too eye-catching!

"Don't get me wrong, I'm like this when I'm just a person."

Professor Harlan Epland was not a fool. He immediately noticed Monica's expression and quickly explained.

Peggy is his student, and she is such a young female student. He is not as ignorant as Sheldon and others.

In case there is any misunderstanding, this is no joke.

And he really only took off his clothes when no one was around, and at most he was shirtless when there were people around.

"It's best that way."

Monica didn't know what to say.

Although she knew that Peggy meant to scare her, the fact was that all the things Peggy used to scare her were true.

Are all geniuses in this world like this? Isn’t there any one who is more normal?

At this time, a bald middle-aged man walked in with a kind smile and smiled at everyone: "Hello, everyone."

"It seems there are still normal people."

Monica looked at the bald middle-aged man for a while and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this one looks normal.

"Who are you?"

Professor Harlan Epland looked at him strangely.

As the number one person in the Department of Applied Mathematics at Columbia University, and very fond of this kind of mathematical treasure hunt games, he knows or has some understanding of everyone in the mathematics circle, at least those in the East Coast mathematics circle.

But the one in front of him didn't match any of his memories.

"Oh, don't worry about me, I'm just a tool."

The bald man smiled and said: "I'm here on behalf of others, look!"

Having said this, under the gaze of everyone, he took out a photo from his pocket, unfolded it, and put it in front of his face, blocking his face.

"Interesting form."

Little Sheldon's eyes lit up and he praised him loudly.

"Oliver McDaniel!"

Professor Harlan Epland looked at the large photo that replaced the bald man's face in front of him and immediately spoke with relief.

"Who is Oliver McDaniel?"

Monica looked down at Peggy.

"You'd better ask Professor Epland."

Peggy smiled very strangely: "Otherwise if you say it from my mouth, you will suspect that I am scaring you again."

"..."

Monica twitched the corners of her mouth. Needless to say, she already had an ominous premonition.

Professor Harlan Epland also heard this and immediately smiled and told Monica: "Oliver McDaniel graduated from Harvard University at the age of 16 and graduate school at the age of 19. He is a mathematical genius."

"Not a doctor?"

Monica was a little surprised: "Why didn't he do it by himself? Instead, he did it in this weird way?"

"He can't come."

Professor Harlan Epland smiled awkwardly: "He had some mental problems and was sent to a mental hospital, so he did not continue his Ph.D. study."

"..."

Monica is numb.

Peggy is right. If Peggy had said this to her, she would probably not believe it and be suspicious. Can't all the geniuses in their country have mental illness?

But now this was said by the naked professor who looked quite normal, and there was no communication beforehand, so she had to believe it.

Although she was numb, she still couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

"He has some mental problem..."

Harlan, the naked professor, explained something. When he caught everyone's gaze, he immediately knew that he had said nonsense, so he continued to explain: "He almost strangled his father to death."

Monica couldn't help touching her neck and glanced at Chuck. She understood that suffocating tremor.

"Why?"

When Little Sheldon heard this, he frowned: "I understand the complicated feelings of a genius boy towards his stupid father, but it's still a bit too intense to do it directly, right?"

"He said that was not his father."

Harlan, the naked professor, showed a helpless smile: "The other party is a computer clone sent by the quantum king of the galaxy. He said that they wanted to drive him crazy, but they would not succeed."

"It's really strange."

Little Sheldon was surprised.

"right!"

Monica saw that someone finally felt the same as her, and she looked at Little Sheldon with joy.

"Um."

Little Sheldon nodded: "In Asimov's novel, there are three laws of robots. The first law is that robots must not harm human beings, or stand by and watch human beings in danger.

When I dreamed in the past, I also dreamed about the world of the Galactic Empire, where there were robots such as computer clones. But there, they came over and kindly invited me, the smartest person in the world, to save their world. There was no intention to harm their world at all.

Or drive you crazy."

"..."

Monica gets numb again and again.

She is no longer sure whether there is something wrong with the geniuses in this world or something wrong with her.

"You are free to do as you like. I will write down the questions for the fifth level and pass them to Oliver."

The bald man put away his face in the photo and walked towards the clue wall.

"Mona, isn't our world interesting?"

Peggy joked to the numb Monica.

Monica responded blankly.

"That's the expression."

When Peggy saw Monica ignoring her, she rolled her eyes and said with a playful smile: "Look, how good she is with Chuck."

"..."

Monica glanced at Chuck, who had a calm face from beginning to end, and didn't know what to make of his expression.

Everyone started reading the question, and the scene became quiet for a while. Then Monica heard footsteps coming from outside the door again. When she looked back, she saw a young couple walking in.

The blond girlfriend has an average appearance, but the young man is timid and does not dare to look at others.

"Noah, you can do it."

The blonde girlfriend faced everyone's gaze, smiled awkwardly, then turned to look at her boyfriend and continued to encourage him.

"Noah!"

Harlan, the naked professor, said hello.

"Professor Epland."

The young Noah glanced at the naked professor, responded, and immediately looked away.

"Is this your girlfriend?"

Harlan, the naked professor, looked at Noah's girlfriend next to him, with surprise and envy in his eyes.

"Daphne."

The blond girl smiled and introduced herself: "I am Noah's fiancée."

"Noah was a lucky man."

Harlan, the naked professor, sighed.

Monica looked at Daphne with surprise and scrutiny.

At first glance, Noah was another genius with problems. She no longer felt anything about it. The only thing she was curious about now was what was wrong with Daphne, a seemingly normal woman.

Um.

She was basically certain that something was wrong with Daphne, otherwise a normal woman would not be the fiancée of a genius with a problem like Noah.

She no longer believed that there were any normal human beings among the people so close to these geniuses, because she felt that she was going crazy in just a few months.
