Chapter 278: The Final Question, Her Field

Deng Xiaohuan's emotions, which had been brewing with great difficulty, were interrupted by this, and he immediately began to walk on the edge of anger.

However, she was well aware that the alarm was unusual and that it must have meant something serious was happening.

Security soon came in, along with patrolling invigilators.

All candidates were not allowed to move, and then the computers were checked one by one. Finally, traces of system alarm were found on the computer next to Su Yi.

Next to them were three foreign candidates. I didn't know which country they were from, but their eyes were full of panic and they spoke in a gibberish language that I couldn't understand.

But soon, a teacher took them out, and even though they struggled, they were still taken away.

Su Yi guessed that it must be cheating.

An attempt was made to implant program codes unrelated to the exam content into the computer, but the code was discovered and an alarm was sounded, interrupting the exam.

Such a serious cheating incident actually occurred in this kind of international competition, and the impact is extremely huge. Even though the cheating students are not from China, it happened in China, the host country. If it is not handled properly, it will also affect China's reputation.

Su Yi handed Deng Xiaohuan a bottle of mineral water.

"Drink some water and don't be affected by other things." Su Yi said.

Deng Xiaohuan took a big sip of water and tried to calm himself down.

After the invigilator announced that the test could continue, Deng Xiaohuan's state of mind had almost adjusted and he began to continue answering the questions.

Although Deng Xiaohuan tried hard to calm himself down, he was still affected and was obviously anxious when answering the questions.

Su Yi reminded him twice, but he finally passed the question without any trouble.

When the next question came out, it was also the knowledge point that Deng Xiaohuan was responsible for, but Su Yi stopped her from answering the question: "Rest first, Senior Sister, you are not in good enough condition."

"But……"

"I know you're anxious about time, but our goal isn't to win a prize, but to win the championship. China hasn't won a championship for several years in a row, so if we want to do this, we have to be the best."

Deng Xiaohuan was silent, and she also found that she seemed a little anxious.

Su Yi solved this problem on the computer.

Although the questions were getting more difficult, it wasn't a big deal for Su Yi. She'd once competed against Guo Shen online, and although she'd lost, her master had given her a high evaluation, considering her to be at least above average among international hackers.

To this end, she even hacked into the security network of a famous foreign terrorist organization, but she erased the traces and escaped before being discovered.

If she could sneak around the other party's security network and steal core information without being discovered, she would be able to officially join the top of the hacker pyramid.

As soon as Su saw the question, he started typing the code almost without thinking.

There were ten questions in this exam. When there was only one hour left before the end of the exam, their ranking kept switching back and forth between the top three. The other two teams were from the fighting nation Country E and Country M.

For the next hour, the ranking will not be displayed.

And they have reached the final critical point.

"Junior sister, come on."

"Junior sister, drink some water first."

Zhao Xing and Deng Xiaohuan were even more nervous than her.

Although Su Yi was not nervous, he still accepted their concern and kindness, and then began to answer the questions.

What Su Yi didn't expect was that the last question actually involved the new Mersenne conjecture she had proved some time ago. Although she had previously involved the new Mersenne conjecture for the sake of this ACM-ICPC, it was actually used now.

What a pleasant surprise!

Deng Xiaohuan felt a little surprised when he saw the smile on her face.

During the time they spent together, she understood that Su Yi never did anything without confidence. Now that she showed such a relaxed smile, it was obvious that this final question was not a difficult task for her.

Su Yi didn't need to think much and started typing on the keyboard quickly.

The last question is extremely difficult to answer unless you have studied number theory or have a high mathematical talent.

Su Yi answered the questions quickly, and Zhao Xing and Deng Xiaohuan next to him couldn't even keep up with the speed at which this junior sister was typing the code.

Half an hour later, Su Yi submitted the evaluation machine.

Zhao Xing and Deng Xiaohuan's hearts almost jumped into their throats.

Every second feels like an age.

epted.——passed!

When Deng Xiaohuan saw the familiar words, his eyes immediately turned red.

Their team also received a special balloon that read “FIRST PROBLEM SOLVED”!

The team next to them was completely stunned.

The last question was so difficult, yet a team actually completed it, and even finished it ahead of schedule?!

Impossible!

This is the last question, there will be no more after this.

Even though the final results have not been released, Deng Xiaohuan and Zhao Xing are already delighted, as at least they have secured a place in the top three.

When the time is up, the system will automatically submit the answer sheet.

There was a sudden burst of wailing in the examination room, and many people had expressions of frustration or sadness on their faces.
