Chapter 213: Is He a God or a Ghost?
Former Xuan didn’t submit his test right away but instead started typing program codes on the computer.
He wanted Yundu University to finish dead last in this final.
“Didn’t he already finish all the questions? What is he doing now?”
The crowd whispered amongst themselves.
“Probably just messing around out of boredom, with nothing better to do.”
It has to be said.
This series of moves by Former Xuan significantly increased the entertainment value of the competition.
Now everyone was curious to see how Former Xuan would end up with an ultra-low score when the results came out.
Former Xuan pressed the enter key.
He sent the code over to Brother Li’s computer and then submitted the answers for the ten questions he had completed on his own computer.
At the moment he clicked the confirm submission button, his computer locked up and could no longer be operated.
The chat comments were still rolling.
“They say men who focus on their work are handsome. Did you see that? Brother Li Li is so cool.”
“There’s no doubt Brother Li Li will win this time. Soon we’ll just have to watch how thoroughly Brother Lin Xuan gets crushed by Brother Li Li. Brother Lin Xuan needs to understand that a wild chicken can never compare to a phoenix.”
“Just wait, Brother Lin Xuan is about to embarrass himself.”
The team teacher stared at Former Xuan’s actions, dumbfounded.
Did Former Xuan actually complete it, or was he just fooling around?
Wang Dahé sat back with one leg crossed over the other, looking completely relaxed as he said, “Teacher Wang, don’t worry, everything’s fine. Little Xuan is going to bring you a championship right now.”
“Can I even relax?” the team teacher gritted his teeth.
He had never seen such a student!
If it were any other student, he would’ve definitely given them a good scolding, but this guy was Su Zong’s man. Not only could he not hit him, he couldn’t even yell at him.
If he performed poorly and got upset, he’d have to console him.
Otherwise, if Former Xuan whispered sweet nothings into Su Zong’s ear, he’d be packing his bags and leaving Shangqing University.
He couldn’t give up the high salary offered by Shangqing University.
So frustrating!
Wang Dahé handed a bottle of mineral water to the team teacher, “Teacher, calm down. The competition will be over in a few more minutes. We’ll know soon enough whether Little Xuan is a god or a ghost.”
The team teacher took the bottle of water.
He tilted his head back and gulped down all the water in one go.
“Ah,” the team teacher sighed while looking at Former Xuan on the screen, “Former Xuan used to be so obedient. How did he turn into this?”
Wang Dahé thought about how Former Xuan kept flaunting his relationship in front of him and occasionally showed off his superior intelligence.
He nodded in agreement, his tone filled with resentment, “I think he’s changed too.” He’s gotten full of himself.
Shit.
Even during the competition, he had to write love letters to confess his feelings to Su Zong.
This dealt a devastating blow to him, a single dog.
Brother Li Li was sweating profusely as he worked on the problems.
Just like before, he was stuck halfway through the eighth question, with absolutely no idea what to do.
As for the ninth and tenth questions, he didn’t even know where to start from the very beginning!
The remaining fifty minutes felt completely wasted, with no progress made whatsoever.
“Ah.”
Qian Hong and Xue Wenbo, the two greats, shook their heads regretfully.
They had hoped to find a promising student, but these guys fell far short of their expectations.
There were only thirty seconds left.
Brother Li Li knew there was no way he could continue, so he gave up. He glanced at the others; except for Former Xuan, whose random answering had reached 100%, everyone else had a slightly lower progress rate than him.
Brother Li Li let out a sigh of relief.
Looks like he’d take first place again this time.
With confidence oozing out of him, Brother Li Li submitted his answers.
“Teacher Wang,” the team teacher from Yundu University approached, “looks like your team is really going to come in last this time.”
“Teacher Lin, the results aren’t out yet. It’s best not to jump to conclusions prematurely,” the team teacher smiled faintly.
Although he didn’t think Former Xuan would win either, he couldn’t let the momentum fall behind his competitors.
“Alright, then let’s wait for the results together,” the team teacher from Yundu University sneered coldly.
These people from Shangqing University sure have stiff lips.
She was eager to see how stiff their lips would remain once the results were announced.
The organizers were checking the answers of several participants, tallying the scores, and determining the competition results.
Former Xuan, Brother Li Li, and the other three contestants who had finished the competition returned to the backstage area.
Students from the other three schools gathered around Yundu University to congratulate them.
“This time, you’re very likely to win again. Congratulations, congratulations.”
“Student Lin Li is so strong. I had no clue about the eighth question. The problems set by Qian Hong and Xue Wenbo must be extremely difficult. You’ve managed to solve half of the eighth question, which is truly amazing.”
Brother Li Li basked in the praise, raising his lips in a smile while appearing outwardly humble, “Not at all, let’s wait for the official results.”
Yundu University believed without a doubt that the first place was theirs.
The first prize, five million yuan from Suzhou Group.
The school wouldn’t take the money.
So the five million would be divided among the three of them, with each person getting over a million.
The members of Yundu University were excited to the point their faces turned red.
Brother Li Li also felt incredibly excited. The fifty million reward for the champion optimal team performance would last him a long time.
An organizer staff member rushed over to Qian Hong and Xue Wenbo.
“Gentlemen, please come over here.”
Qian Hong and Xue Wenbo frowned.
They followed the staff member to the computer on stage.
“The program code written by Student Former Xuan is completely different from what you provided, but surprisingly effective. Take a look,” said a bespectacled technician.
“All three questions you set are like this.”
Surprise flickered in the eyes of Qian Hong and Xue Wenbo.
Could such a thing happen?
Both of them carefully examined Former Xuan’s answers.
“This…”
Their eyes shone with peculiar brilliance.
Absolutely incredible!
Truly extraordinary!
How could they have not thought of this method!
And Former Xuan spent only five minutes on each question!
“A genius, simply a genius,” Qian Hong marveled.
“Yes, he’s only twenty-one, isn’t he? Bright future ahead, bright future ahead,” Xue Wenbo also marveled.
Wait a minute!
They looked at each other, faces full of caution.
“Old Qian, you’re not trying to snatch him from me, are you?” Xue Wenbo glared at him.
“Old Xue, I’m five years older than you. Don’t you know about respecting the elderly and cherishing the young?” Qian Hong snorted.
“Respecting the elderly and cherishing the young? I’m five years younger than you, shouldn’t you cherish the young and let Brother Lin Xuan be mine?” Xue Wenbo retorted.
“Old Xue, must you compete with me?”
“Old Qian, aren’t you competing with me?”
Both argued heatedly, almost coming to blows.
“Since neither of us wants to give in, let’s each use our abilities and let Brother Lin Xuan choose himself. We’ll see who he wants to be a student of,” Qian Hong suggested.
“Fine!”
Xue Wenbo nodded.
When both returned to their seats, their expressions were sour.
