"Lin Xuan," Qian Hong said kindly, "Everyone is questioning whether you cheated. If you don't prove your innocence now, people might talk behind your back."
Lin Xuan frowned.
Indeed, he had to prove that he hadn't cheated.
This time, Su Hua had offered such a large prize. If people thought he had cheated, their relationship might be exploited by others in the future.
It could inevitably affect Su Hua and the reputation of the Su Group.
"So, Lin Xuan, I was thinking of having someone give you a challenging computer problem to solve on the spot. Are you willing to take it on?" Qian Hong asked.
"Alright," Lin Xuan nodded. This was indeed the fastest way to prove himself.
"Lin Xuan, think carefully. If you can't solve it, people might question your abilities," Qian Hong reminded him.
"No problem."
He had learned advanced computer knowledge from a futuristic world in his space. The computer knowledge of this world was simple to him.
"Impressive! Such courage!"
Qian Hong looked at Lin Xuan with admiration.
If Lin Xuan wasn't confident in his abilities, why would he agree?
Qian Hong led Lin Xuan onto the stage.
Dressed in a white shirt and black pants, Lin Xuan exuded youthful charm. Standing under the spotlight, he looked dazzling.
"Ahhh! I've been following the competition, but how did I not notice how handsome he is?"
"Ugh, I wish I could be his girlfriend."
Two girls near Su Hua were talking excitedly.
Su Hua frowned.
The air around her turned icy.
Lin Xuan really had a way of attracting girls' attention.
Although she knew Lin Xuan wouldn't pay attention to those girls, every time she saw such scenes, she felt the urge to lock him away.
On stage, Lin Xuan keenly sensed Su Hua's mood shift. He was confused.
What's going on?
When he wrote her a love letter, she seemed in a good mood.
A phrase popped into Lin Xuan's mind: "A woman's heart is as deep as the ocean."
Qian Hong said, "Mr. Gao, Lin Xuan and I have discussed it. We can have someone give him a computer problem to solve on the spot to test his true abilities."
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Mr. Qian and Mr. Xue to come up with the problem," Gao Yang said.
"We won't be the ones to set the problem," Qian Hong glanced at Lin Chang and Jiang Shuqin, "to avoid any accusations of us helping Lin Xuan cheat again."
"Then I'll contact some institutions to set the problem," Gao Yang nodded.
"No need for that trouble," Lin Xuan spoke up. "Some professors from Yundu University are here, right? Let them come up with the problem together."
Gao Yang frowned.
Yundu University and Shangqing University were rivals. Having Yundu University set the problem was indeed a good choice.
But... would Yundu University deliberately make it difficult for Lin Xuan?
Since Lin Xuan had brought it up in front of so many people, it was hard to refuse.
"Alright, let's do as you suggested," Gao Yang nodded.
Lin Li felt uneasy.
Why would Lin Xuan suggest having Yundu University set the problem? Was he sure he could win?
No, that couldn't be possible.
Lin Xuan's computer skills couldn't possibly surpass his.
Despite thinking this, Lin Li was filled with unease.
Three professors from Yundu University came up with a problem together.
The problem appeared on the screen.
The organizer was stunned.
This problem...
Lin Li's lips curled into a smirk. Lin Xuan definitely wouldn't be able to solve it. His reputation as a cheater was sealed.
Qian Hong frowned. "Even Master Oli couldn't solve this problem in two years. Four days ago, Oli posted it with a one-million-dollar reward. No one has solved it in four days."
"Such a difficult problem, and you're using it to test Lin Xuan? Isn't that too harsh?"
Qian Hong's eyes were cold.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was excited.
One million dollars, converted to Xia Country's currency, was seven million.
Just a computer problem, yet it had such a hefty reward!
"Mr. Qian," a professor from Yundu University smiled, "I know it's difficult, but based on Lin Xuan's performance in the competition, his computer skills are exceptional. We thought we'd test him with this problem."
"We also prepared an easier problem. If Lin Xuan can't solve this one, it's fine. As long as he solves the next one, it's acceptable."
The team leader frowned.
Yundu University was playing mind games. They were sure Lin Xuan wouldn't solve the first problem. Even if he solved the second one, the value of his competition would be greatly diminished.
If Lin Xuan didn't solve it, it would confirm that he had cheated during the competition.
Lin Xuan said calmly, "I'll solve this problem."
Lin Li sneered.
"Still acting tough!"
He refused to believe that Lin Xuan could solve a problem even Master Oli couldn't crack.
Lin Xuan sat down at the computer.
He wasn't nervous at all.
Not only was the problem not difficult for him, but even if it were, he could enter his space and think it through slowly.
In just one minute, Lin Xuan had figured out the entire solution.
He started typing on the keyboard without pause.
The professors from Yundu University exchanged glances.
He's already started?
Without even thinking?
"Professor Wang, take a look. Does his approach resemble your friend's half-finished solution?" Professor Li asked.
Professor Wang's friend was also a renowned figure in the computer field.
"Completely different directions," Professor Wang replied.
"Then it seems he's just randomly typing," Professor Li sneered.
Professor Wang frowned.
Why did he feel like Lin Xuan actually knew how to solve this problem?
Time passed, and fifteen minutes flew by.
Lin Xuan's computer screen was filled with dense lines of code.
He stopped typing.
"It's done," Lin Xuan said indifferently, his expression calm throughout.
The organizers immediately began verifying his solution.
"Old Qian, do you think Lin Xuan can succeed?" Xue Wenbo asked.
"I think he can."
Qian Hong's face was full of anticipation.
If Lin Xuan could come up with a solution to such a difficult computer problem in just one minute, it would undoubtedly shock the global computer science community.
Wang Dahe sighed.
"Lin Xuan really pulled off a great show today."
This series of actions was unlike his usual self.
Could it be...
Wang Dahe thought of Su Hua, who had come to watch the competition.
So, Lin Xuan was showing off because Su Hua was here...
Wang Dahe felt he had uncovered the truth.
Damn!
This annoyingly sweet couple!
"He succeeded! He actually succeeded!" A technician's fingers trembled with excitement.
