角色故事•一(解鎖條件:角色等級20)
關於那位自稱「真理醫生」的維里塔斯•拉帝奧,其人如他的研究一般充滿爭議。在拉帝奧的故鄉,至少有八部講述他傳奇事跡的紀錄片,十幾部關於他的回憶錄,可評論眾多,卻沒有足夠有說服力的觀點。為填補空缺,筆者親自前往,拜訪了對拉帝奧的成長有重要影響的榮德教授。榮德教授年事已高,已無法正常言語,卻在筆者提起拉帝奧姓名時難掩激動之情。在其家人和學生的協助下,筆者拿到一封泛黃卻保存完好的推薦信。
「
尊敬的第一真理大學錄取委員會:
我是銀河自由大學的數學系榮休教授榮德。素聞貴校愛才重教之名,我想推薦一位名為拉帝奧的學生來貴校攻讀學位。雖然拉帝奧目前只是一位中學生,但其在數學、物理、乃至哲學上的思想已遠超一般大學的本科要求。
教學期間,拉帝奧以遠超預期的速度解開了複雜的數學方程。與此同時,我班上的本科生甚至無法理解那些概念。出於好奇,我私下與他分享了一份關於榮德猜想的手稿。雖然我是這一猜想的提出者,但我始終無法將其證明。在經過日日夜夜的討論後,他提出了一個美妙且驚人的巧思,一舉完成了最後的論證。該論文近期即將刊發,屆時您就能明白我所言並非虛假。
在這段時間的相處中,拉帝奧展現出了非凡的感知力、好奇心與創造力。他每日早早地起來鍛鍊,隨後便一頭扎進知識的海洋。他也許是最符合普世觀念中天才形象的人,激情、深刻、熱烈和…天生的強勢。
限於當地學校無法開展更高水平的科學課程,我衷心希望貴校能夠接納拉帝奧就讀。我以我的名譽保證,他一定會取得超越這個時代的成就,為貴校享譽銀河的學術聲譽再添榮光。
致以最好的祝願,
榮德

Character Story: Part I
• Unlocked at Character Level 20
Veritas Ratio, who calls himself "Dr. Ratio," is as contentious as his research. In Ratio's homeworld, there are no less than eight documentaries detailing his legendary exploits, and over a dozen memoirs about him. However, despite the plethora of commentaries, none of them seems to provide a compelling perspective. To fill this void, I personally visited Professor Rond, who had a significant influence on Ratio's upbringing. Though advanced in years and unable to speak coherently, Professor Rond couldn't contain his excitement at the mention of Ratio's name. With the help of his family and students, I obtained a yellowed yet remarkably well-preserved letter of recommendation.
"To the respected admission committee of the University of Veritas Prime:
I am Rond, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Mathematics at the Cosmos Liberty University. Given your institution's reputation for valuing talents and education, I would like to recommend a student named Ratio to advance his studies at your university. Although Ratio is a high school student at the moment, his mastery of math, physics, and even philosophy has far exceeded the requirements for an undergraduate degree in many universities.
While he was under my tutelage, Ratio managed to solve complicated mathematical equations at an unexpectedly staggering speed. The undergraduates in my class struggled to even comprehend the concepts. Out of curiosity, I shared a manuscript about an equation named Rond's Conjecture in private. Although I'm the one who proposed the equation, I've been unable to prove it. After days of discussion, Ratio came up with a brilliant and stunning idea that managed to finally prove the equation in one strike. The paper will be published shortly, and you will see that I am speaking the truth.
Ratio showed remarkable perception, curiosity, and creativity during the time we spent together. He wakes up early every morning to exercise before diving straight into the sea of knowledge afterward. Perhaps, he is exactly what everyone would picture a genius to be — passionate, profound, fervent, and inherently dominating.
Due to the lack of more advanced science programs at local schools, I sincerely hope that your esteemed institution will accept Ratio's enrollment. I can vouch for him on my reputation that he will definitely achieve accomplishments that transcend this era and bring glory to your widely-renowned institution.
Best wishes,
Rond
