Chapter 212: Want the Bonus?
The Su Family Manor.
Grandpa Su stared at sleeping Lin Xuan, stunned.
“Old Su, didn’t you say he was pretty strong? Why’d he give up right away?” Grandpa Li snorted.
Grandpa Su frowned deeply.
Xiao Xuan isn’t someone without measure.
“Old Chen, Old Li, Old Liu, do you think he’s doing it on purpose? He might surprise everyone.” Su Guoxiong always felt something wasn’t so simple.
Grandpa Chen shook his head. “Hardly. With only fifty minutes left since the start of the competition, to solve these ten questions in this time… unless he’s a genius.”
After hearing Grandpa Chen’s words, Su Guoxiong’s hope for Lin Xuan winning first place diminished significantly.
This Grandpa Chen used to be a big shot in the computer science department.
If he said it’s hard, then it must be hard.
But no worries, just some computer competition. Xiao Xuan is a business prodigy anyway. As long as Hua likes him, even if he’s a harmless waste-of-space, it’s fine.
“Old man Su.” Grandpa Chen couldn’t wait to ask, “It’s already afternoon now, can we start eating? This competition isn’t worth watching.”
He had been longing for the meals cooked by the Su family chef.
Especially the dishes he loved this time.
At this moment, Su Guoxiong saw Lin Xuan wake up.
His eyes lit up.
“Eating what? Everyone, pay attention! Lin Xuan is about to make his move!” Perhaps his future son-in-law was about to show off his skills.
However…
They saw Lin Xuan confessing his love to a girl at the competition site.
The three old men: “…”
“The young people nowadays.” Grandpa Chen shook his head. “Really lack self-control.”
Grandpa Su’s eyes were full of smiles. “You don’t understand, this is called romance.”
“Old man Su, there’s something wrong with you. Why are you so fixated on this guy named Lin Xuan?” Grandpa Li asked in astonishment.
Su Guoxiong huffed.
Could he not care? This is his future son-in-law!
The competition continued.
Lin Xuan filled a page with sweet words.
With fifty minutes left, Lin Xuan started solving problems.
Leaning back in his chair, looking leisurely, his fingers danced swiftly on the keyboard.
Lines of code appeared on the computer.
Lin Qingwan excitedly said, “Xiao Xuan has started solving problems.”
“Yes, he’s started.” Jiang Shuqin’s eyes were full of disdain. “Thinking for seventy minutes, finally figured out how to solve the first question.”
“Lier started from the first problem immediately and finished it in just a few minutes. Look, now he’s already on the seventh problem.”
When talking about Lin Li, Jiang Shuqin’s eyes were full of pride.
Her son, who she raised herself, was indeed much better than Lin Xuan, who grew up in an orphanage.
Su Hua slightly smiled. “Ah Xuan is starting to take it seriously.”
Jiang Shuqin remained calm.
There’s no way Lin Xuan could finish in this short amount of time.
That thirty million bonus is hers for sure.
“This speed…” The host was shocked.
One minute and twenty seconds.
Lin Xuan completed the first problem.
Another minute and twenty seconds.
Lin Xuan completed the second problem.
He almost didn’t need to think when solving the problems, and his typing speed was several times faster than others.
Lin Qingwan was surprised. “Xiao Xuan’s speed is too fast.”
Jiang Shuqin sneered coldly. “Spent more than an hour thinking, then copied the answers down, wouldn’t it be fast?”
Lin Qingwan carefully looked at the content on Lin Xuan’s screen.
Xiao Xuan might give her a pleasant surprise.
“Everyone, look at the main screen! Lin Xuan has caught up with Lin Li!”
Everyone took a look.
He really did catch up.
Boom!
Everyone was shocked.
“I remember, didn’t he complete seven questions in just a few minutes? Isn’t that too fast?”
“Before, Lin Xuan thought there was too much time, so he slept and confessed?”
“Not possible, absolutely not possible! These questions aren’t easy! To solve seven questions in just a few minutes? I don’t believe it.”
“Yeah, I also think it’s unlikely. The screen doesn’t show the accuracy rate. I bet he just wrote random stuff and submitted it.”
Lin Xuan completed the first seven questions in just fifteen minutes!
Lin Li was still stuck halfway through the eighth question. Sweating profusely, staring at the computer screen, his brain went blank, having no idea how to proceed.
But no matter, among the five participants, the one with the best computer skills was him.
If he couldn’t solve it, others definitely couldn’t either.
Lin Li looked at the progress chart, wanting to check others’ progress. As expected, others were still working on the fifth, sixth, or seventh questions.
Wait a minute.
Lin Li frowned.
How did Lin Xuan manage to complete seven questions already?
Wasn’t his progress zero just a few minutes ago?
Realizing something, Lin Li relaxed his frown.
Looks like Lin Xuan just filled random stuff. Otherwise, there’s no way he could be this fast.
Two computer experts, Xue Wenbo and Qian Hong, kept their eyes glued to Lin Xuan’s computer screen.
Doing the first part so quickly, they wondered how he would handle the remaining questions.
Lin Xuan glanced at the computer screen.
No pause.
Fingers continued tapping on the keyboard, creating codes that dazzled the eyes.
“Old Xue, wasn’t this question made by you? How’s it going? Did he get it right?” Qian Hong curiously asked.
Xue Wenbo shook his head. “Not the same. The program code he wrote is completely different from mine.”
Qian Hong’s interest in Lin Xuan faded.
He thought Lin Xuan had some real skills, but turns out he just filled random stuff.
Still, the questions set by them two, even if solved by experts, would be hard within such a short time.
Their expectations were too high, always hoping to find a genius student.
Qian Hong sighed.
While solving the eighth question, Lin Xuan’s speed didn’t decrease at all. Just that he needed to write more codes, which took more time.
This question, Lin Xuan spent five minutes on.
Ninth question, tenth question.
Lin Xuan spent about five minutes each.
Lin Xuan’s answer bar showed 100%.
Everyone was amazed.
“So it’s done?”
“Holy cow, this speed is outrageous.”
“Tsk, do you really think he’s this fast? Lin Li’s computer skills are already top-notch, yet it took him fifty to sixty minutes just to solve the first few questions. He solved all the questions in less than half an hour? Is that even possible?”
No one believed Lin Xuan could be this fast.
Jiang Qing lost his cool.
Young Master Lin seemed to have done quite well.
Her three months’ salary bonus…is it really gone?
Lin Xuan finished ten questions with twenty minutes left.
Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Li.
If Shangqing University got second place, there would be a three million bonus.
Tsk.
Wants the bonus Hua Bao gave out?
