Chapter 347 Are You Here to Compete for Second Place?
"Me? I'm a contestant."

Xu Qingshan smiled naively, touched his head, and looked very sincere.

Huaiwus opened his eyes wide, raised his finger and pointed at Xu Qingshan. His skin, which was pale and a little bit sickly, turned red this time.

You can see that he is very excited.

But he pointed for a long time and couldn't say the second sentence.

"Ding!"

The elevator reached the bottom floor, and Xu Qingshan walked out of the elevator with Jiang Huanxi and Yang Shu. He turned around and said something enthusiastically to Huaiwus.

"Thank you very much for your invitation, Wyus, but I think I may not have the opportunity to teach in Warsaw. I now have my own laboratory at Jingcheng University. If you plan to come to China in the future, please contact me as soon as possible."

"As for this game... I hope we can exchange experiences more after the game."

"Goodbye and good luck."

Xu Qingshan waved his hand and walked away gracefully.

Only Huaiwus was left in the elevator, poking at the elevator button in frustration.

"Bad thing!"

"Xu is simply a bad guy! This is a prank!"

With a somewhat sad and angry voice, the elevator door slowly closed.

"You are so bad."

"Not like a good person."

Jiang Huanxi and Yang Shu each commented on Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan always had a devilish smile on his face.

"Don't just blame me, you guys did it too. Do you think our team name doesn't require your approval?"

Xu Qingshan pointed to the information of the teams participating in the competition which was being screened in the lobby on the first floor. The team numbers, countries and regions, team names, and universities were all scrolling in real time.

The No. 1 and No. 2 teams of Beijing University were the ones that the school had previously secured, and Xu Qingshan and his team were the No. 3 team of Beijing.

I saw that it was Xu Qingshan and his team's name's turn on the big screen.

[Team No. 69, Huaxia, Jingcheng University No. 3, (Asia Division Shanghai Station Champion), Team Name: Are you here to compete for the second place? ]

mad!
A capital Crazed!

There were names of various teams in the venue, but it was unique for them to be as crazy as Xu Qingshan and his team.

Even Lou Tiancheng, who was known as the ACM God and Leader in the past few years, would never dare to hang up such a sign in the World Finals.

Lou Tiancheng is the favorite student of Academician Yao of Huaqing University. Academician Yao is the Turing Award winner, Yao Qizhi, who personally created the "Yao Class", the strongest computer class in China.

After Academician Yao discovered Lou Tiancheng's extraordinary talent in programming in the Yao Class, he has been focusing on guiding Lou Tiancheng to the path of machine learning.

Lou Tiancheng has unparalleled talent in programming and was once recognized as the best computer programmer among college students in China. He has performed miraculous feats of single-handedly challenging other teams many times.

Because of his strong programming skills, he was called "Master Lou" by his classmates who participated in ACM competitions, and his classmates at Huaqing also called him "Master" when they saw him.

He won the Google Global Programming Challenge in 2008, and successfully defended the title at the end of 2009.

But he is such a legendary figure with full personal strength in the programming world.

He failed twice in 07 and 09, missing out on the world championship and finishing second both times.

One was because of a penalty, and the other was purely due to luck.

Therefore, it is possible to make such a name for ourselves at the ACM/ICPC global finals, a place where young computer elites from all over the world gather.

Anyone who sees this will say it's crazy.

At this time, Xu Qingshan and his team came to their positions to familiarize themselves with the configuration in advance and conduct some simple training. Then they heard the teams in front of them chatting.

Not far in front of them, three little Indian boys with darker skin were chatting in English.

Xu Qingshan's five senses had already become more acute than those of ordinary people due to the long-term training. When he heard the words, he asked Yang Shu to take over the computer to practice, and he moved a stool to sit aside to eavesdrop and watch.

"Hey, did you see the team from Beijing University in Huaxia? They're the ones two rows behind us, one girl and two boys."

"I see. What's wrong? I'm doing an environment test. There shouldn't be any problem with the computer. I think I've been in great shape these past few days. We should have a chance to get a chance to win the silver medal this time."

"Just them. Look at the team name. Are you here to compete for the second place? I haven't even heard of this team. They are so arrogant. I am just waiting to see them make a fool of themselves and see when they can answer the first question."

Xu Qingshan raised his eyebrows.

My goodness, don’t these little Indians know me at all?

Although I am not a super celebrity who needs to be known by everyone.

But over the past six months or so, I have already made my presence felt sufficiently in the global vision.

It seems that the achievements I have made in the computer field are still too mediocre.

Xu Qingshan told himself secretly.

If he were participating in a math competition, he felt that nine out of ten students would recognize him when he entered the venue.

After all, as a top student of mathematics, if you don't know the youngest and most likely to win the Fields Medal, you have not done your job well.

Xu Qingshan was enjoying the show, but he found that there were indeed quite a few teams in the competition who were discussing their team names and were pessimistic about them.

Returning to the team position, Xu Qingshan was all smiles.

"What did you hear? Why are you laughing so happily, as if you just found a few hundred bucks?"

Jiang Huanxi looked at Xu Qingshan strangely. She was working on the quick optimization of her algorithm. She had studied the algorithm questions of ACM-ICPC in previous years and found the parts where she could play to her strengths. She was preparing for the competition seriously.

"Do you think I'm someone who would be happy if I picked up a few hundred bucks?"

Xu Qingshan sneered, and couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

"I went out for a walk and found that they were all discussing our team name. They didn't even know me and were all ready to laugh at us."

Xu Qingshan became happier and happier as he spoke, almost bursting into laughter.

Yang Shu looked at Xu Qingshan with his dead fish eyes. He simply couldn't understand why Xu Qingshan was so happy.

"What's so fun about this?"

Jiang Huanxi looked at her boyfriend who seemed to be a little crazy, with a puzzled look on her face.

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Isn't this excellent material for slapping people in the face fun? We can just explode in the game, break their expectations, and slap them in the face and taunt them. It will be a great show!"

"…You still have such a bad taste…"

Jiang Huanxi rolled his eyes at Xu Qingshan.

"Life is short, enjoy it while you can."

Xu Qingshan was grinning.

Suddenly, the poplar tree next to him burst out laughing.

"what happened?"

"It's really interesting. I also want to see if they will cry and hug their coach's thighs and say, 'Coach, I don't want to program anymore!'"

"Your reaction time is so slow..." Jiang Huanxi sighed and complained about both of his teammates.

How could this world be so perverted?

Why assign all the abilities to a guy like this?

Even though this person is her husband, it is really hard not to complain about him.

only.

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.

The other two teams from Jingcheng University, the team from Huaqing next door, and several other domestic teams that have more information about Xu Qingshan are holding their own internal meetings.

How should we strive to win the gold medal this time?

It has become their core issue.

Because they all assumed that Xu Qingshan would get first place.

After all, many of these teams have participated in the Asian Division Shanghai Station competition.

It’s different from the fantasies of these little foreigners here.

They saw with their own eyes Xu Qingshan and his team win the championship.

That kind of gap cannot be made up by penalty time or mistakes, not to mention that it is now generally recognized that Xu Qingshan has become stronger than he was back then.

At that time he was the super genius Xu Qingshan, and now he is the glorious Xu Qingshan.

It is simply impossible to think of competing with it.

In such a complex and chaotic situation, the 2010 ACM-ICPC Global Finals officially kicked off.

The blue and white venue was very lively.

However, this kind of liveliness was not noise, but the sound of answering questions and discussing in an intense and orderly manner.

Although it is a programming competition.

However, when the competition started, most teams did not start writing programs right away.

They must analyze each question carefully, trying to get it right in one go without making any mistakes.

The penalty rules for the global finals are stricter than those for previous regional competitions.

Once a mistake is made, it is very likely that they will end up like Lou Tiancheng and others in previous years, who completed the same number of questions but missed the final championship due to time penalties.

At the same time, the host in the live broadcast room was turning the camera to Principal Liu and Chairman William.

"Yes, the contestants will not rashly start answering questions at the beginning of the competition, because those who can come to this competition are the strongest programmers of this generation in the world. Their strengths and weaknesses are determined by just one or two questions. Any mistakes and recklessness can be fatal. For example, the team that starts answering programming questions right at the beginning is generally not strong enough and wants to use templates to save time, or the coaching staff did not do a good job of pre-match training."

Just as Chairman William was talking, the live broadcast room turned the camera aimed at the contestants directly to one team.

the host asked.

"Then this team seems to have already started answering questions. The players seem to be answering questions very quickly. Does this mean that this team has lost hope of winning the championship?"

William's face changed, his face turned green, he hesitated for a long time, and looked at the host with resentment.

"What I just said applies to most situations, but there are always unexpected things. For some people, ordinary principles cannot be directly applied. For example, Xu's team, even if they fall asleep on the spot, I will not doubt their ability."

Chairman William was talking about Xu Qingshan and others. As the chairman of the programming competition, he is also an expert in the field of machine learning. Naturally, he knows young talents like Xu Qingshan.

If the players competing in the arena at this moment are all young geniuses who have been training in the Novice Village and are ready to change their jobs.

In his eyes, Xu Qingshan was a young emperor who could dominate the world as soon as he was born.

Is this something he can evaluate?

He can't comment!
The camera was focused on the name tags on Xu Qingshan and the others’ desk.

The nameplate of "Are you here to compete for the second place? Team" was clearly visible in the live broadcast room.

Principal Liu, who was originally smiling and watching William's joke without saying a word, twitched his mouth.

No wonder Mei Hong suddenly called to keep in touch with him. During the conversation, he repeatedly emphasized that now that his old classmate is the principal, he must learn to tolerate the personalities of today's young people.

So that's how it is?
Principal Liu clutched his trousers.

I don't know if the leaders above were watching the live broadcast, and I don't know what they would think when they saw Xu Qingshan and the others being so crazy. Anyway, he knew that Xu Qingshan must have a non-stick pan, so he might just take the blame.

Damn Mei Hong, you have already calculated this, right?

The live camera was aimed at Xu Qingshan's team, but Chairman William just slapped himself in the face at the speed of light and stopped talking.

Principal Liu's mind was filled with questions about whether Xu Qingshan's mocking team name would have an impact on his position as the president of a traditional military-industrial college.

For a moment, the live broadcast room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

"Ding!"

Jiang Huanxi was seen leaving the table, and the camera immediately locked onto this young girl moving in the unchanging arena.

Jiang Huanxi was seen jogging all the way to the working group.

After a while.

She had a golden balloon with a line of letters on it in her hand, and a normal green balloon. On the big screen in front of the stadium, a team jumped out from a field full of teams with scores of 0 and jumped to the first place.

[Are you here to compete for second place? Score: 1]

The first person to answer the question will naturally be noticed.

In particular, the two balloons in Jiang Huanxi's hands were particularly conspicuous in the empty stadium at this time.

Almost everyone in the audience noticed the terrifying strength that Xu Qingshan and his team suddenly displayed.

At this point, some of the stronger teams have already started answering questions, but there are still more teams still in the discussion stage.

When Jiang Huanxi returned to his seat with the balloon, the visibly quiet atmosphere in the stadium paused for a few seconds.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Qingshan, who was sitting in front of the computer with a smile as evil as that of a super devil.

broken.

Let this bastard get it right.

Especially the three little Indians in the two rows in front of Xu Qingshan, they were extremely surprised and their faces changed drastically.

Of course, there are definitely people who can get here and who refuse to admit defeat.

Even the domestic teams that knew Xu Qingshan's identity and strength were not convinced and were trying their best to win the championship from this genius mathematician to prove themselves.

For example, the Shanghai Jiao Tong University team is the only team in China that has won the ACM-ICPC global championship over the years, and they are also the only team that has won two championships.

According to their teacher's evaluation, this class is strong enough to secure a place in the third place and a chance of survival.

After seeing the numbers on the screen, the three young men from Shanghai Jiao Tong University accelerated their collaboration and answering questions without any hesitation or pause.

But it turns out.

In the face of absolute strength, young people's ambition and drive are useless.

Time passes little by little.

The team name [Are you here to compete for the second place? ] always hangs high in the first place.
