Chapter 431 Jiang Xu, You Really Deserve to Die 1
Translator: 549690339 |?? —
Wang Shiya wore a pure white dress today, like a flower blooming in spring fresh and delicate.
Her skirt swayed gently with her light steps, as if it were a flowing painting. She moved with a graceful and elegant poise.
Her demeanor was extraordinary, as elegant as an orchid, emitting a faint fragrance.
Her bright eyes seemed to hold a sea of stars, twinkling with the light of wisdom.
Every move she made was filled with feminine softness and strength, yet it carried a hint of frost, making people swoon while keeping them at bay. A girl like this, no matter where she was, always stood out the most.
Her every action attracted countless attentive gazes.
Seeing Wang Shiya heading towards Jiang Xu, some of the male students couldn’t hold back.
“Damn it, what’s going on, has the school beauty of Zhi Jiang University taken a fancy to Jiang Xu too?”
“Jiang Xu, you scoundrel, isn’t having An Nuonuo enough for you?”
“Damn, you really should die!”
“System, where are you? Let me take over his body, please!”
Wang Shiya ignored everyone’s discussions and odd looks, walking up to Jiang
She handed over a business card with a cool voice, saying, “We might have the chance to collaborate on developing software in the future.”
“Boom!”
This scene immediately set off an uproar among those from Zhi Jiang University.
Wang Shiya was notoriously stand-offish at school.
It wasn’t just about handing out business cards proactively; even adding her contact information was incredibly difficult for others.
The crowd could not help but turn their gazes towards Chen Xiaolong.
Your unrequited love, the goddess, seems to be falling in love.
Chen Xiaolong, however, appeared very composed.
Because after returning last night, he had gone to talk to Wang Shiya. He highly praised Jiang Xu and felt that he was someone worth reaching out to. If he seemed reliable after some time, they could consider collaborating. Although Chen Xiaolong was lovesick, he could still prioritize.
A good collaborator could bring immense rewards for himself and his family. Jiang Xu was startled.
He quickly took the business card and then handed his own to Wang Shiya with both hands.
Wang Shiya nodded slightly and returned to her seat.
“Your charm is really something,” Lu Chao said sourly from the side. “Even goddesses of this caliber are so proactive with you, ugh, scumbag.” Jiang Xu:
He clearly hadn’t done anything at all.
After this brief interlude, the competition officially began.
Before it started, all electronic devices on the contestants had to be handed over.
The spectators were isolated and forbidden from speaking.
The individual competition was up first.
There were five judges, teachers from several other universities.
One of the judges announced the rules of the competition.
“For the individual competition, there is a piece of software on your computers. Within half an hour, fix the bugs in it-there are a hundred in total.
Fixing one bug earns one point, with a time limit of half an hour.
Those scoring below ninety points will be eliminated. Start now.”
Jiang Xu opened the software the judge had mentioned and immediately began to work.
The only sounds in the venue were those of keyboards being typed on intermittently.
The higher-ups from Magic University were all incredibly tense.
The outcome of this competition was critical for the future of their school.
Their eyes were primarily on Jiang Xu.
This time, their success depended on him.
On the contrary, the higher-ups from Zhi Jiang University were relaxed and at ease.
Past achievements led them to disregard Magic University completely.
The only high-level representative they sent to this competition was one individual.
In their minds, Magic University was no longer a rival.
It took less than two minutes for Jiang Xu to find three bugs.
He glanced over at An Nuonuo and Lu Chao.
Their expressions were calm, suggesting they were not having too much trouble either.
However, as time went on, the difficulty of finding bugs increased.
Fifteen minutes had passed, and Jiang Xu had found sixty-eight bugs.
The expressions of the others had also become more serious.
When twenty-five minutes had elapsed, Jiang Xu had found ninety-nine bugs.
But no matter what, he couldn’t find the last one.
Jiang Xu’s thoughts wandered, “Is the last bug really well hidden, or did the teacher throw in a red herring and there aren’t actually a hundred?”
Jiang Xu was more inclined to believe the latter.
So, he went through the software again, more carefully this time.
With three minutes remaining, Jiang Xu was startled to find that he had discovered another five bugs.
He was stunned.
This didn’t add up.
Was it an ‘Easter egg’ deliberately set up in the problem, or was there some other reason?
The countdown had already begun at this point.
Many people started to panic.
Jiang Xu took a deep breath, trying to stay as calm as possible.
He checked the entire software one last time.
“Time’s up, everyone hands off the keyboards and step back!”
The judge’s voice rang out.
All the contestants stood up and stepped away from their computers.
Specific teachers began to check each contestant’s findings.
The scene was very quiet; no one spoke.
Five minutes later, after some discussion among the judges, the scores were announced.
“First place goes to… Jiang Xu, 102 points.
Tied for second place are An Nuonuo, Chen Xiaolong, and Wang Shiya, with 101 points.
Second place, Lu Chao, with one hundred points, third place…”
Jiang Xu had guessed correctly.
Among the extra ‘Easter eggs,’ some of the bugs were fake.
If changed, the whole program would collapse, possibly resulting in zero points.
The teacher who set this question was definitely a trickster.
Without top-notch skills, coupled with a certain amount of guts, one wouldn’t dare make a move like Jiang Xu did.
“Applause!”
The students of Magic University began clapping excitedly.
Though it was not a crushing victory, they had at least won the individual competition this time!
The faces of the people from Zhi Jiang University darkened, feeling a sense of humiliation.
To think, they had lost to Jiang Xu!
A student who couldn’t accept the result shouted, “Teacher, why does Jiang Xu
get 102 points? Please explain it carefully!”
The judge smiled and said, “It’s quite simple, because there were extra points in the problem.
Finding them and resolving them shows that Jiang Xu’s skills have reached a very high level.”
The applause grew even more enthusiastic.
Even the higher-ups of Magic University couldn’t help but join in the clapping.
It had to be Jiang Xu indeed!
Once again, he made them proud and salvaged their reputation.
With Jiang Xu around, there were no surprises.
“Damn, is this guy’s IT strength also so terrifying?” Chen Xiaolong murmured
to himself, finding it hard to keep his composure.
For the first time, he felt the oppressive presence of a ‘Son of Destiny’ like in the novels.
Then, glancing at Wang Shiya’s expression, Chen Xiaolong’s heart skipped a beat.
He saw Wang Shiya’s eyes blazing with a fierce fire, looking at Jiang Xu.
She had already considered Jiang Xu her number one rival!
