I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 184 - 171 Can a human really solve these problems?

Recently, the sudden appearance of powerful monsters in the magic stone mines and the emergence of a doomsday cult had signaled a hint of danger to Lynn.

The former was not something he could meddle with; if those legendary Wizards working together couldn’t solve the issue, adding himself would be of no help.

The latter was a problem for the current administrator, August, to consider, but Lynn wouldn’t entrust his safety entirely to someone else, thus finding a way to enhance his own power to smoothly handle potential threats became an urgent matter.

Continuing to advance his Wizard level was undoubtedly the best choice, but he had just recently advanced to a second-ring Wizard. Even though the enormous power granted by "Eye of Death" hadn’t been completely exhausted and his magic power was still in a phase of rapid growth, there was still some way to go before his next advancement.

Therefore, Lynn had no choice but to seek alternatives, such as when he contended against Helram, with the computational power support of nine third-ring Wizards, he was even temporarily able to contend with a fifth-ring grand Wizard!

Although at that time Helram was caught off guard by him and suffered from magic backlash, reducing his power to only about thirty to forty percent of its original strength, it was still enough to crush any ordinary formal Wizard!

That was precisely why, since arriving in Greenrill City, aside from preparing materials for speeches and experiments, Lynn spent most of his time crafting new "Rings of Secret Arts".

As a distinction, these newly crafted rings weren’t as luxurious as those given to Harrov, nor would they transport the wearer "beyond time and space" but to a planet within the Magic Domain. Recently, the smart brain was working feverishly to set up the location for the second gathering as soon as possible.

Ultimately, Lynn decided to limit the number of participants for this venture into the Magic Domain to twelve people.

The reason for the limitation was two-fold; firstly, his brain’s endurance was limited, and mobilizing more computational power wasn’t always better.

Secondly, since the Magic Domain was just recently established, inviting too many people all at once could be problematic if things went awry.

In terms of the legendary Wizard Harrov, who had previously entered the Magic Domain, Lynn didn’t dare let the smart brain attempt to crack his mental frequency, since the disparity in strength between them was too great and might easily be detected; those third-ring Wizards were his real targets.

When the time came, armed with the "Deflection Field" for protection and "Space Oscillation" for offense, even facing a grand Wizard, he wouldn’t be utterly powerless.

...

Two days later, at noon in Greenrill City, inside a temporarily rented magic shop, it was already packed to the brim.

"Is this the glass mirror?" a young female witch asked in amazement as she picked up a palm-sized round mirror. The flawless mirror surface perfectly reflected her beautiful features—her white skin, her red lips, and even the stray hair on her forehead was clearly visible.

Almost instantly, the witch was captivated, turning the mirror over and over, unable to bear parting with it. Apart from clearly reflecting her face, the glass mirror itself looked like a piece of art.

However, the high price made the young witch hesitate; it seemed the more upscale and larger the glass mirror, the higher the price.

A life-sized glass mirror was even priced at twenty magic gold coins!

Even for a Wizard, it wasn’t a small amount!

"Beautiful witch, these magical glass mirrors are extremely limited in number, and the process to make them is incredibly complex. For instance, there’s only one full-length mirror left. We don’t know when the next batch will be made. If you miss today, it’s uncertain how long you’ll have to wait…"

Darren, responsible for this sale, went on nonstop, explaining the scarcity of the glass mirrors to the witch in front of him and repeatedly emphasizing the low production and the endless demand. If she had arrived a minute later, she wouldn’t have gotten even one mirror.

Seeing this, the young witch dared not hesitate any further. She gritted her teeth and immediately took out all her savings, which amounted to thirty magic Gold Coins, and bought the largest full-body mirror alongside a small, portable round mirror.

Darren, delighted, opened the drawer and began stacking the freshly earned magic Gold Coins inside. In just half an hour, the whole drawer was already filled with glittering coins.

Lynn said that the scarcity marketing strategy was simply amazing!

To cater to apprentices and commoners who were short on purchasing power, besides the best-selling glass mirrors, they also made many equally beautiful glass artifacts—teapots, teacups, and even trays, usually priced between seventy silver coins and five magic Gold Coins. However, compared to the extremely low production cost, it was no different from grabbing money.

But to other Wizards, these exquisitely crafted glass items were undeniably symbols of status and prestige, so a trend of acquiring glass products quickly emerged in Greenrill City.

Many shrewd Wizards wanted to buy these in bulk and later resell them at high prices in other cities of the Wizard Land.

The same was true for the books "Introduction to Olympiad Mathematics" and "Advanced Olympiad Mathematics," which sold out as well. Apart from Wizards curious about the thin, white pages, many were drawn by the Olympiad subject itself.

Tic was among them. He had previously listened to Lynn teach an Olympiad Mathematics class at Yiyeta Harbor and was deeply impressed by the precision and rigorous logic of the discipline, hence he was very interested in Olympiad Mathematics.

So, when he learned that a master of Olympiad Mathematics from the Secret Magic Society planned to invite twelve exceptionally gifted Wizards to discuss a challenging problem in Olympiad Mathematics, Tic immediately became interested.

He was confident that he could be one of those twelve, since, compared to other Wizards, he had the advantage of attending two months of Olympiad Mathematics classes and had built a solid foundation.

With this in mind, Tic didn’t even bother looking at "Introduction to Olympiad Mathematics" and went straight to the more advanced "Advanced Olympiad Mathematics." However, he was stunned when he saw the first problem.

"Calculate the sum of the series 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2… + 9999^2!"

After confirming that he hadn’t misread the exponent sign, Tic couldn’t help but gasp. To add up the squares from 1 to 9999 and find the total was overwhelming. Just writing out the formula completely could fill dozens of draft papers. He might need to work tirelessly for ten to fifteen days and still might not arrive at the result!

And this was just the first problem!

Does it have to be this difficult?
