    The morning sun filtered through the slightly open curtains of Lassen''s office, casting soft shadows on the walls. Slouched in his chair with a novel in hand, Lassen turned a page with calculated nonchalance. His cup of tea, still warm this time, rested on the coffee table beside him.

    The system interrupted the calm.

    [Host, congratulations. You are now officially an obsession for academics worldwide.]

    Lassen didn''t even look up from his book.

    "Tell me something I don''t already know."

    [Hundreds of emails continue to flood in. Requests for explanations about your mathematical demonstration now occupy 85% of scientific information feeds.]

    He smirked slightly, still reading.

    "I suppose they enjoy suffering."

    [And yet, they keep insisting.]

    Lassen finally closed his book and slowly placed it on the table.

    "Alright, let''s see what they have to say."

    The holographic screens lit up, displaying articles, discussion forums, and interview excerpts. Some scientists praised the elegance of his solution, while others labeled it as an impossible fraud.

    "Always the same reactions." Lassen stretched his arms. "Admiration and skepticism. It''s almost predictable."

    [There''s more. Several of the world''s top universities and research centers are demanding a public explanation. They want a live conference with you.]

    Lassen raised an eyebrow.

    "A conference? For what? Haven''t they already read the full 237-page report?"

    [Apparently, some didn''t understand it. Or rather, they refuse to believe that a single individual could solve this problem.]

    Lassen chuckled softly.

    "So, because they can''t keep up, I have to put on a show to prove I''m real?"

    [In summary, yes.]

    Lassen stood up and began pacing.

    "And what happens if they still doubt me after that? Am I supposed to solve another problem live? Maybe Goldbach''s conjecture this time?"

    [They mostly want explanations about your method, or my method. Some suspect you''re using technology they don''t yet understand.]

    Lassen crossed his arms.

    "Well, they''re not wrong about that."

    He sat back down and scrolled through the requests. Harvard, Oxford, MIT, Cambridge. The world''s top academic institutions were fighting for a seat at the conference.

    "They want answers, but they''re not ready to accept the ones they''ll get."

    [And you''re going to refuse?]

    Lassen smiled.

    "No. But I''ll make sure they regret asking."

    The system projected a list of expected attendees. Familiar faces of renowned professors, authors of revolutionary theories, and even some Nobel laureates appeared on the screens.

    "They''re sending their entire elite. Lovely."

    [Some think you''ll humiliate them, some think that you are a genius. Others secretly hope you''ll fail.]

    At MIT – Lecture Hall

    Hundreds of students packed into a lecture hall to follow the breaking news about the upcoming conference. Enthusiastic and anxious voices filled the space.

    "Have you seen the theory he''s already published?!" shouted a student. "I don''t even understand half the equations, but it''s beautiful!"

    "Beautiful?!" replied another, shaking his head. "It''s incomprehensible! He compressed years of research into a 237-page report!"

    "And a three-page summary," added a student in the front row. "For idiots like us, apparently."

    Nervous laughter broke out.

    "Do you realize he could literally redefine an entire field?" said a PhD student. "If his solution holds, it''s a paradigm shift. And it''s not just theoretical. This kind of breakthrough could revolutionize cryptography, algorithms, and even artificial intelligence."

    "Or destroy everything," muttered a student in the corner. "Have you read the speculations? Some think he''s too dangerous to be left unchecked."

    "Dangerous or not, I''d sell a kidney to attend this conference in person," declared another student.

    Institute of Mathematics, Beijing

    Zhao Liang, China''s Minister of Technology, observed the palpable tension in the room filled with academics.

    "What are the initial reactions?" he asked his assistant.

    "A mix of skepticism and excitement," the assistant replied, flipping through reports. "Some think it''s a show of power. Others fear this breakthrough could be a mathematical weapon against us."

    Professor Lin, one of China''s most renowned mathematicians, stood up.

    "If it''s true, we must understand his method. And if it''s not, we need to discredit him before the entire world worships him as a god."

    A murmur spread through the room.

    "He''s already solved Collatz and created Nova-1," added a younger researcher. "We should at least give him the benefit of the doubt."

    Zhao Liang nodded.

    "Whether we admire him or fear him, we must be ready to analyze every word of his conference. Prepare teams to translate and dissect his explanations as soon as they''re available."

    Twitter

    Prof. MathGuru – "If Mr. X truly proved the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, we''re looking at the greatest mathematical genius since Gauss."

    @CuriousMind – "Or he''s bluffing. It wouldn''t be the first time a charlatan shook the scientific world."

    @NumTheory_Fan – "Genius or fraud, I''ll be glued to my screen for this conference. This kind of event is unprecedented."

    Cambridge – Senior Academic Meeting

    Professor Hargrove spoke again after listening to the debates in the room.

    "We need to be prepared. If he really solved this problem, we must be ready to admit it, even if it means rewriting everything we thought we knew."

    "And if he''s bluffing?" asked Evans.

    "Then we''ll tear him apart in front of the entire world."

    "And if he''s right..." Claire Bennett murmured "...we''ll step into a new era."

    ---

    Across the world, discussions, doubts, and hopes fueled conversations. Between admiration, fear, and skepticism, one thing was certain—the world was eagerly awaiting this conference.

    And Lassen, somewhere in his office, savored his cup of tea, fully aware of the storm he had unleashed.
