The live broadcast camera focused on the faces of Qian Hong and Xue Wenbo.
—What's going on? Why do they both look so grim?
A viewer in the livestream chat speculated:
—I know what's up. It must be because of the three questions Lin Xuan answered. His answers were so off the mark that they got angry.
—Yeah, I think so too. These big shots usually have their own temper. They worked hard to come up with those questions, and someone just answered them carelessly, showing no respect. How could they be in a good mood?
Qian Hong sat down in his seat.
He happened to lock eyes with Xue Wenbo, and both of them snorted in unison before turning their heads away.
The scoring for this competition took significantly longer than previous ones.
It took a full forty minutes before the results were finalized.
When the host saw the list, he was momentarily stunned.
“Is there a mistake with this ranking?” the host asked, frowning.
The person in charge shook their head. “No mistake. This is correct.”
The person in charge had a big smile on their face.
The outcome of this competition was so dramatic that they were sure the national university computer competition would gain much more attention than before.
The host stared at the list, unable to snap out of his disbelief.
It was truly unbelievable.
“Are you shocked by this result?” the person in charge asked with a smile.
“Yes,” the host nodded.
Under Lin Xuan's series of maneuvers, he actually managed to score full marks. How could that not be shocking?
The person in charge couldn’t help but sigh, “Our country has produced a true talent in computing.”
This could only be described as extraordinary.
If someone could solve the questions set by Qian Hong and Xue Wenbo within the given time frame, they could already be called a genius.
But Lin Xuan not only solved all three questions, he did each one in just five minutes!
And his answers were even more perfect than those provided by Qian Hong and Xue Wenbo!
The host frowned. “This result is bound to raise a lot of doubts.”
“Don’t worry. You go ahead and announce the results. I’ll handle the explanations afterward.”
“Alright.”
The host walked onto the stage with the results card in hand.
Clearly, he had the competition results ready.
Everyone waited nervously for the announcement.
Lin Li had already prepared himself to receive the audience's applause.
“This time, it’s definitely Li’er’s victory,” Jiang Shuqin said with a smile.
“My younger brother’s computer skills are the best among all of them,” Lin Qingxiu declared proudly. “Yundu University and Shangqing University were only one point apart. In the third round, my brother will surely lead Yundu University to victory.”
“And by a large margin, too.”
The Lin family had absolute confidence in Lin Li.
Lin Li had always excelled in his studies, and he was the pride of their family.
The livestream chat was flooded with messages from Lin Li’s fans.
—Congratulations to Brother Lin Li!
—Ahhh, my idol is so amazing!
—After winning the individual computer competition, he’s now taken the team championship as well. Who else can do that?
On stage, the host smiled and said, “I’m sure everyone’s been waiting anxiously.”
“The results of this competition are quite unexpected. I believe everyone will be shocked.”
The team leader from Yundu University had a bad feeling.
What did he mean by unexpected?
What did he mean by shocking?
Wasn’t it obvious that Yundu University would take first place?
Jiang Qing felt a twitch in her temple.
Her three months’ worth of salary and bonuses might really be in jeopardy…
Everyone looked on with curiosity.
“Alright, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer,” the host said with a smile.
“The winner of this year’s National University Computer Team Competition is… Shangqing University!”
Boom!
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
The first-place winner was actually Shangqing University!
This was too surreal.
The chat, which had been filled with congratulatory messages for Lin Li, suddenly went silent.
Shen Qianqian exclaimed excitedly, “Lili, Brother Lin Xuan took first place! He’s so amazing!”
The man she liked was truly extraordinary.
Shen Qianqian’s face flushed with excitement.
With Lin Xuan being this incredible, her father would have no reason to object to their relationship.
Jiang Shuqin’s brows furrowed deeply.
How could Shangqing University have won the championship?
Unable to contain herself, Jiang Shuqin shouted, “Was there a mistake? Isn’t Yundu University the real champion?”
“There’s no mistake,” the host replied with a smile. “In this competition, Shangqing University achieved a total score of 255 points, far ahead of the rest.”
This…
Everyone was even more confused.
Shangqing University’s score from the first two rounds was only 155 points. Adding the third round’s score brought them to 255 points.
Did that mean Lin Xuan had scored a perfect 100?
The next second, the host clarified their doubts.
“Among them, Lin Xuan achieved a perfect score of 100 points in the third round!”
“He also broke a ten-year record in the individual event of the National University Computer Team Competition!”
“Based on his outstanding performance, we have named him the MVP of the champion team. As such, he will receive the 50 million yuan prize provided by Su Corporation.”
Jiang Qing’s heart sank, and she felt like crying.
She shouldn’t have doubted Young Master Lin.
Jiang Qing shot a resentful look at Su Hua.
She should have known that the CEO wouldn’t make any decisions that weren’t in her best interest. She had thought Su Hua was being overly infatuated when it came to Young Master Lin.
But it turned out there was a trap.
Her three months’ salary and bonuses were really gone.
“CEO Su, you tricked me! Did you already know how skilled Young Master Lin was in computing?” Jiang Qing asked resentfully.
“I believed in him,” Su Hua replied with a smile in her voice.
“My Ah Xuan has always been amazing.”
Jiang Qing: “…”
The CEO seemed to be showing off her boyfriend.
She felt like she was being force-fed dog food again.
At that moment, the team leader’s mouth was open so wide it could fit an egg.
“Wang Dahe, am I hallucinating? Did I just hear that our school won, and not only that, but Lin Xuan also scored a perfect 100?” the team leader asked in disbelief.
“Teacher Wang, I heard the same thing. You’re not mistaken,” Wang Dahe replied, equally stunned.
He knew Lin Xuan was good, but he never expected him to be this ridiculously talented.
“No, I still can’t believe it.”
“Wang Dahe, pinch me. Am I dreaming?”
Wang Dahe, being an obedient student, didn’t hesitate to give the team leader’s arm a hard twist.
