Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 600 - 599: On the Spot

The master of ceremonies seemed a bit nervous today, which could be seen from the stiff smile on his face.

Looking at the densely packed audience below and the dozens of cameras in front of the stage, this master of ceremonies felt a bit overwhelmed.

He usually hosts smaller events, so this big occasion left him unsure of what to do with his hands and feet.

He had never hosted such a high-profile event before, so the nervousness was quite expected.

After calming himself down, the master of ceremonies finally spoke: "Welcome everyone to the Fields Medal award ceremony. I am your host for today's event."

"Today marks the quadrennial international mathematics conference, where we gather to award the Fields Medal to those who have made the greatest contributions to mathematics."

There was still a trace of nervousness in his voice, indicating he hadn't entirely composed himself.

However, the amateur display by the master of ceremonies did not affect the audience watching the ceremony.

Because the star of today's event was Jiang Cheng; no one came to see the master of ceremonies.

Hence, his performance did not elicit any reaction, and people did not pay much attention to him.

Everyone was just waiting for the master of ceremonies to finish his words so that they could watch Jiang Cheng come on stage to receive his award.

Noticing that the audience wasn't particularly bothered by his nervousness, the master of ceremonies began to slowly relax his tense nerves and continued hosting the award ceremony.

The Fields Medal is the highest award in the field of mathematics, typically awarded only to the most outstanding mathematicians, each of whom has left their name in history.

As the ceremony progressed, the master of ceremonies finally began to act normally, as he introduced the history of the Fields Medal, which is a staple at every award ceremony.

After finishing the introduction, the ceremony reached its most crucial moment.

This year's Fields Medal will be awarded to an outstanding young mathematician."

"This outstanding mathematician is so young that it's almost unbelievable, but his achievements have not dimmed in the slightest because of his youth.

This mathematician has just proven the Riemann Hypothesis, solving a major mathematical problem.

In recognition of his contributions to the advancement of mathematics, I hereby present the Fields Medal to him."

"I am here to announce that the recipient of the Fields Medal is... Jiang Cheng!

Everyone, let's welcome Jiang Cheng to the stage with our warmest applause!

As soon as the master of ceremonies mentioned Jiang Cheng's name, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

The waves of applause converged into a massive sound wave so strong that it seemed capable of lifting the roof.

The applause came from the audience's hearts, expressing their respect for Jiang Cheng.

All of Jiang Cheng's research results have brought immeasurable benefit to people.

As time passes and life continues to change, countless products are improving lives, adding excitement to people's daily existence.

These changes are largely brought about by Jiang Cheng, who, with his strength, is gradually transforming the world into a better place.

Jiang Cheng's era-changing contributions are unforgettable, and the applause is a token of respect for everything he has done for humanity.

Soon, Jiang Cheng's figure appeared on stage, and the applause became even more enthusiastic.

Every person present focused their gaze on Jiang Cheng's upright figure emerging steadily before them, indeed triumphant.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Cheng walked to the center of the stage with steady steps.

Facing all the eyes fixated on him, Jiang Cheng didn't feel nervous at all.

He had experienced many occasions like this before and was very familiar with the current atmosphere.

Upon reaching the center of the stage, Jiang Cheng received a gold medal from the master's hands.

This medal was crafted from pure gold, with the front embossed with Archimedes' relief portrait.

A Latin phrase encircled its perimeter, meaning "to transcend the human spirit, be the master of the universe," a quote from a Roman poet's work on astronomy.

On the back of this medal was an inscription meaning "Awarded for outstanding work, gathered by mathematicians around the world."

This medal appeared extremely exquisite, representing the highest honor in the field of mathematics, the Fields Medal.

Holding the gold medal, Jiang Cheng began to deliver his acceptance speech.

"This medal is indeed quite remarkable, crafted exquisitely and very beautifully," Jiang Cheng commented as he examined the medal.

He then bit the medal lightly with his teeth and remarked, "Hmm, this medal really is pure gold; it seems the committee hasn't skimped on this."

His words prompted hearty laughter from the audience.

Everyone knew Jiang Cheng was joking, which made them laugh heartily.

"I personally attended the international math conference for this gold medal; after all, it's a pure gold medal. If I ever go bankrupt, I could sell it for living expenses," Jiang Cheng continued, prompting even more laughter.

Everyone knew he was joking about selling the medal, given his personal wealth and the status of his organization in the world market.

With two small jestings, Jiang Cheng enlivened the atmosphere.

Clearly, Jiang Cheng had a sense of humor, although he did not often show it outside such settings.

At a prestigious event like this, starting with a couple of light jokes was ideal, easing into his opening speech to set the stage.

Jiang Cheng's approach had a positive effect, as everyone was now laughing happily, evidently amused by his jokes.

After the jokes, it was time for his formal acceptance speech.

Jiang Cheng gripped the medal tightly, then said seriously, "Alright, I was just joking earlier. I'll cherish this medal well, as it holds a special significance for me."

Once Jiang Cheng started speaking seriously, the laughter ceased quickly.

Everyone watched Jiang Cheng intently, eager to hear his upcoming speech. The audience was primarily here to listen to Jiang Cheng's acceptance speech.
