Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 948, Darren: "Qiao Yun, congratulations on being the last one.
Darren shrugged his shoulders: "I have no objection."
Fang Xing also said: "I have no objection either."
Both of them agreed so readily mainly because, although they could get ten points at once, eliminating the virus would take time, and the competition only lasted for half an hour.
In just two short minutes, they had already found nearly a hundred vulnerabilities, which was equivalent to taking the lead with a hundred points.
Ten points versus a hundred points, there’s a tenfold difference.
Even if Qiao Yun got ten points, catching up afterward would be very difficult.
The outcome of the second round of the competition was already clear.
That’s what everyone thought.
They could only lament Qiao Yun’s bad luck.
However, her ability to remain calm in the face of this sudden situation was already quite impressive.
Darren said hypocritically to Qiao Yun: "Let me congratulate you on the ten points first."
With eyes wide, Han Si wanted to retort, but Qiao Yun glanced at him, "Focus."
"Oh." Han Si responded listlessly, still very angry.
Seeing him not very happy, Qiao Yun pursed her lips and whispered: "Want to infuriate them to death?"
Han Si’s eyes lit up: "Yes."
Qiao Yun nodded her little head: "Okay, I promise you."
Qiao Yun decided to infuriate Future Alliance to death.
Although Han Si had no idea how Professor Qiao intended to do so, receiving her promise indeed made him feel much better, and he could concentrate on his work at hand.
Darren curled his lip, somewhat admiring Qiao Yun’s composure in the face of danger, but so what?
She was bound to lose.
Darren stopped looking over at Qiao Yun and focused on his work, looking quite serious and professional.
Jiang Jing also collected her thoughts, focusing solely on the task at hand. With Qiao Yun out of the game, they still had to be wary of the Huo Research Institute.
Seeing the report that appeared in front of her, a smile crossed her face.
Qiao Yun’s virus hadn’t been eliminated yet, and she hadn’t even secured ten points, while they had already submitted nearly two hundred vulnerabilities.
The venue fell silent for a moment as everyone quietly watched the operation data of the competitors appearing on the screen.
Even though many people couldn’t understand, it didn’t stop them from feeling tense.
Especially Qiao Yun, she was just starting to tackle the virus.
With such a leisurely approach, is there really no problem???
Are you confident, or have you given up and are ready to accept reality?
...
Down below.
The Lu Family felt like the lights had gone out, especially Su Mian who was anxious enough to be on edge.
"It’s already been ten minutes, how come that virus hasn’t been dealt with yet."
Lu Zhanxing comforted her: "Mom, don’t worry, little sister will surely solve it."
Su Mian voiced her concern: "How can I not worry, look at the other two sides, they’ve had ten more minutes than Qiaoqiao."
Lu Zhanxing didn’t understand the technical aspects and couldn’t make sense of the various data on the screen, but he knew the current situation was very disadvantageous for Qiao Yun.
Spending ten minutes to get just ten points, it’s not worth it.
"Anxiety is useless, we can only wait for the time to end to see the result," Lu Jingzhi said, equally anxious.
It was Lu Shiran who, after staring at the real-time operation data on the screen for a while, suddenly said puzzledly: "Eh, something’s not right."
Lu Zhanxing asked: "What’s not right?"
"I can’t quite put my finger on it," Lu Shiran scratched his head, "but... something feels off."
Lu Zhanxing smacked his head, "If you can’t say why, then shut up and don’t make things more complicated."
Grinning in discontent, Lu Shiran retorted: "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand."
Lu Zhanxing stated mercilessly: "Then keep it to yourself."
Looking down on him, Lu Shiran said: "I’m the top student, I won’t argue with an academic failure."
Lu Zhanxing: "Are you asking for a spanking?"
"Stop quarreling." The old master stopped their pointless bickering, "Focus on the competition."
The two finally quieted down.
Lu Shiran continued to stare at the operation data on the screen. Twenty minutes had passed, and Qiao Yun was still clearing the virus, with only ten minutes remaining.
As he was watching, he let out a small exclamation.
He finally realized what was wrong.
So that’s how it is.
So this was the idea his sister had in mind.
Lu Shiran’s eyes were filled with astonishment, such a move, his sister was really too—awesome.
Lu Shiran couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "My sister is amazing."
The other members of the Lu Family looked at him puzzled.
Lu Shiran said with a secretive air: "You’ll find out soon, my sister’s move is too clever."
Lu Family members: ???
It wasn’t just Lu Shiran who noticed something fishy, anyone with decent capability present could see Qiao Yun’s thought process.
Shen Qi’s jaw almost dropped, he exclaimed in shock: "Brother Li, I finally understand why you can trust Professor Qiao one hundred percent. In this situation, if it were me, I’d probably be in a mess, but Professor Qiao can think of a way to make a comeback from a desperate situation."
Li Hanzhou’s eyes were full of smiles: "She never disappoints me."
On the stage, Qiao Yun’s slender and fair hands were operating the software, in a casual and relaxed manner, not seeming to be in a hurry at all, which was quite infuriating for some.
...
minutes passed quickly, the second round of the competition ended, all participants stopped, submitted their repair reports, and the system would automatically tally the number of vulnerabilities they fixed.
Darren had already written off Qiao Yun and thus didn’t pay attention to her, without knowing what she was up to. Now that the competition ended, he didn’t even glance towards Tianqi, his confidence so high his tail could be wagging in the air.
There were small murmurs coming from the audience.
"Tianqi is probably going to lose this time."
"Even if they lose, there’s still the third round."
"It’s a point battle, as long as they score the most points in the last round, they can still win."
"Let’s just look at the results of the match first."
Everyone turned their attention to Qiao Yun in unison.
There was no sign of panic on her delicate and pretty face.
Is she really composed?
Or is she just faking composure?
Huo Lin was also watching Qiao Yun, speaking with a hint of regret: "If there hadn’t been any mishaps, she would have been a strong opponent."
Fu Yun said with a smirk: "Alin, do you think that highly of her? It’s a pity, but she lost due to the time."
Huo Lin didn’t say much more, waiting for the results announcement just like everyone else.
The results were quickly made public.
First, the score of Huo Research Institute was announced.
points.
Finding and fixing over two thousand vulnerabilities in half an hour is a high score.
The crowd initially had reservations about Huo Research Institute, but seeing their score, their impression of them changed quite a bit.
Looking at it, Huo Research Institute indeed had talent.
If Huo Research Institute could get such high scores, everyone wondered how much Future Alliance scored. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Everyone’s eyes were glued to the screen.
Darren wore a triumphant smile on his face, looking at the screen as it displayed—2698 points.
A whole four hundred points higher than Huo Research Institute!
The whole place erupted in astonishment.
"Future Alliance is that strong?!"
"To think they performed even better than Huo Research Institute, am I dreaming?"
Perhaps it was Jiang Jing’s earlier performance that made them think that Future Alliance was just mediocre, so scoring such high points out of the blue surprised them quite a bit.
This score is terrifying!
Future Alliance was probably the winner of the second round.
Darren tilted his chin towards Qiao Yun, his lips curled provocatively, "Qiao Yun, congratulations, you’re the last place."
