Chapter 217: The Sickeningly Sweet Couple
There’s no way Lin Xuan’s computer skills could surpass his.
Even though he thought this, Lin Li was still filled with unease.
Three professors from Yundu University together gave Lin Xuan a question.
The question appeared on the display screen.
The person in charge froze for a moment.
This question…
Lin Li’s lips curled into a smirk. There’s no way Lin Xuan can answer it; his reputation for cheating is as good as set.
Qian Hong frowned and said, “Even Master Oli couldn’t solve this problem in two years. Four days ago, Oli released it and offered a thousand dollars as a reward. Even after four days, no one has solved it.”
“Such a difficult question, yet you use it to test Student Lin Xuan. Isn’t that being too harsh?”
Qian Hong’s eyes were cold.
Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up.
A million dollars, converted into Xia Country currency, would be seventy million!
Just a computer question, and there’s such a generous reward!
“Mr. Qian,” the professor from Yundu University smiled, “I know this is hard, but judging by Student Lin Xuan’s performance in the competition just now, his computer skills are quite high. We thought we’d test him with this question.”
“We also prepared another simpler question. If Student Lin Xuan can’t solve this one, it’s fine. He can do the next one.”
The team leader furrowed their brows.
Yundu University’s schemes are truly deep. They’ve already predicted that Lin Xuan won’t solve the first question. Even if he solves the second one, the value of Lin Xuan’s participation in this competition will greatly diminish.
If Lin Xuan doesn’t solve it, then it’ll confirm that Lin Xuan cheated during the competition.
Lin Xuan said calmly, “I’ll take this question.”
Lin Li chuckled coldly.
“Stubborn till the end!”
He didn’t believe that Lin Xuan could solve a problem even Master Oli couldn’t figure out.
Lin Xuan sat in front of the computer.
He wasn’t at all nervous.
Not only was this question not hard for him, but even if it were, he could enter the space and think slowly.
In just a minute, Lin Xuan had thought through the entire solution process.
He started typing on the keyboard without any pause.
The professors from Yundu University looked at each other.
So, he’s starting already?
Without thinking?
“Professor Wang, check if his approach matches the halfway point of your friend’s solution?” Professor Li asked.
Professor Wang’s friend was also a well-known figure in the computer field.
“Completely different directions,” Professor Wang replied.
“So, it seems like he’s just guessing randomly,” Professor Li snorted.
Professor Wang frowned.
Why did he feel that Lin Xuan actually knew how to solve this question?
As time passed, fifteen minutes went by in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xuan’s computer screen was full of dense code.
He stopped his actions.
“Done,” Lin Xuan said indifferently, completely unruffled throughout.
The competition organizers immediately began inspecting his work.
“Old Man Qian, do you think Lin Xuan will succeed?” Xue Wenbo asked.
“I think so.”
Qian Hong’s face was filled with anticipation.
If Lin Xuan could come up with the solution to that computer problem in a minute, it would absolutely shock the entire world of computers.
Wang Dahé sighed.
“Xuanzi really put on a great show today.”
Today’s series of actions really didn’t seem like his usual self.
Could it be…
Wang Dahé thought about Su Hua who came to watch the competition live.
So, Xuanzi acted all cool because Su Zong came to the competition…
Wang Dahé felt like he had uncovered the truth.
Burn!
What a sickeningly sweet couple!
“Success! He actually succeeded!” A technician’s fingers trembled with excitement.
Thanks to Flashing Giratina’s burst update! Confetti!
Thanks to Jia MiaoMiao, Hui Zhuo, and Guo Si who loves fried banana flowers, and all the Bosses for their gifts!
“Student Lin Xuan.” Qian Hong kindly said, “Everyone doubts that you cheated. If you don’t prove your innocence now, people might talk behind your back.”
Lin Xuan frowned.
Indeed, he must prove that he didn’t cheat.
Since Hua Bao contributed such a large prize, if everyone thinks he cheated, their relationship might get exposed later, which could be exploited by someone with ill intentions.
That would inevitably tarnish Hua Bao and Suzhou Group’s reputation.
“So, Lin classmate, I want someone to give you a computer problem on the spot for you to complete. Dare you accept?” Qian Hong asked.
“Alright.” Lin Xuan nodded. This was indeed the fastest way to prove himself.
“Lin classmate, think carefully. If you can’t solve it, people might doubt your abilities,” Qian Hong reminded.
“No problem.”
He learned interstellar computer knowledge in the space. For him, this world’s computer knowledge is simple.
“Truly bold and courageous!”
In Qian Hong’s eyes looking at Lin Xuan, there was nothing but admiration.
If he weren’t strong enough, how could he agree?
Qian Hong led Lin Xuan onto the stage.
Lin Xuan in white shirt and black pants exuded a youthful vibe. Standing under the spotlight, he was dazzling.
“Ahhhhh, I’ve been paying attention to the competition all along, why didn’t I notice how handsome he is?”
“Waaaah, if only I could be his girlfriend.”
Not far from Su Hua, two girls excitedly talked.
Su Hua frowned.
The air around her turned icy.
Ah Xuan really attracts a lot of girls’ affection.
Though she knows Lin Xuan wouldn’t care about those girls, every time facing such scenes, she still had an impulse to lock her Ah Xuan away.
On the stage, Lin Xuan acutely sensed Su Hua’s mood swing, and he was utterly confused.
What’s wrong?
When he wrote love letters to Hua Bao, she seemed to be in a pretty good mood, right?
A few words popped up in Lin Xuan’s mind.
A woman’s heart, as unpredictable as the bottom of the sea.
Qian Hong said, “Mr. Gao, I discussed with Lin Xuan. We can have a computer question given on the spot for Lin Xuan to solve, to test his true abilities.”
“Fine, then let’s have Old Qian and Old Xue give the question to Lin Xuan,” Gao Yang said.
“We won’t do it,” Qian Hong glanced at Lin Chang and Jiang Shuqin, “To avoid people thinking we’re helping Lin Xuan cheat again.”
“Then I’ll contact some institutions to give him the question,” Gao Yang nodded.
“That’s unnecessary,” Lin Xuan spoke up, “Didn’t Yundu University bring some computer professors? Let them give the question together.”
Gao Yang frowned.
Yundu University and Shangqing University are competitors. Letting Yundu University’s professors give the question is indeed a good choice.
But… would Yundu University deliberately make things difficult for Lin Xuan?
Since Lin Xuan brought it up in front of so many people, it’s hard to refuse.
“Alright, let’s do it your way,” Gao Yang nodded.
Lin Li had a bad feeling inside.
Why would Lin Xuan voluntarily propose letting Yundu University give the question? Could he be sure of winning?
No, that should be impossible.
