Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations

Chapter 11



Jian Qingli was very hurtful!

Ding Ling frowned and was very unhappy. Just as she was about to tell Jian Qingli off, Li Chengqian stopped her from doing so.

“Li Chengqian, the journey is as important as the outcome. No matter what the outcome is, the journey itself will enrich our lives.” Ding Ling was worried that Jian Qingli’s words would hurt Li Chengqian, so she comforted him.

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head. “Ding Ling, don’t worry. I’m fine.”

“Do you trust me?”

Ding Ling nodded without hesitation. “I do!”

“Then just wait to go to Divine Dragon University.” Li Chenggan said with extreme confidence.

“Okay!” Ding Ling nodded again.

Bi Jialiang, Jian Qingli, and Li Chengqian were not standing far away from each other, so they could naturally hear Li Chengqian’s words.

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, the two of them looked at each other and couldn’t help but curl their lips and smirked.

Enroll in Divine Dragon University?

To gain admission to the Divine Dragon University, one had to get into the top 50 in the competition.

Even he might not be able to do it. Could Li Chengqian do it?

He was simply daydreaming!

While they had seen arrogant people before, this was the first time they had seen someone as arrogant as Li Chengqian.

In just a few minutes, the queue moved forward quickly and Bi Jialiang was already standing in front of Teacher Tian Wenming.

“How many types of loops are there in C language ?” Teacher Tian Wenming glanced at Bi Jialiang and asked with a straight face.

“For loop, While loop, Do-while loop!” Bi Jialiang was extremely confident and answered the question clearly.

“Yes, go to the side and fill out the form. After school in the afternoon, go to the school information classroom and wait for the exam.”

“Bi Jialiang, your programming foundation is not bad. I know that. With your standard, if you work hard during this period of time and are lucky, it’s not impossible for you to be in the top 50 in the country.” Tian Wenming looked up at Bi Jialiang with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Bi Jialiang’s mastery of the C language was quite good. Although there was still a gap between him and a professional programmer, it was indeed rare for someone to reach Bi Jialiang’s level in senior high school.

“Thank you, Teacher. I’ll definitely work hard.” Bi Jialiang couldn’t hide the smugness on his face when his teacher praised him in front of so many people.

When Jian Qingli heard the teacher’s praise, her face was radiant and beaming. Then, she deliberately turned her head and glanced at Li Chengqian.

Although she didn’t say a single word, Li Chengqian and Ding Ling understood what she meant. She was showing off, telling Li Chengqian and Ding Ling that she had betted on the right horse.

“Teacher Tian, I want to sign up!” Li Chengqian shook his head and brought Ding Ling to Teacher Tian Wenming.

“Li Chengqian? You also came to register?” Tian Wenming’s expression was still serious, but his eyes were filled with surprise.

“En!” Li Chengqian nodded with a confident smile.

“Alright then, tell me the difference between the While loop and the Do-while loop.” Tian Wenming suppressed the surprise in his heart. Li Chengqian didn’t do well in school, but this didn’t mean that Li Chengqian didn’t know how to program. These are two separate matters and he shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli were filling out the form. When they heard the question, Bi Jialiang smiled.

Because this question was very difficult!

It was harder than the question he had just answered.

Even if he were to go up and answer, he could only guarantee that he would be able to answer a portion of the questions correctly. He couldn’t guarantee that he would be able to answer all of it correctly.

Most of the people who came to sign up frowned when they heard this question. “Do you have to answer such a difficult question when signing up?”

After hearing the whispers around her, Jian Qingli was full of smiles. It was as if she was watching a show as she looked at Li Chengqian.

She was waiting to see Li Chengqian make a fool of himself.

Although she didn’t care much about the outcome, Ding Ling was also watching Li Chengqian nervously.

It was mainly because what Jian Qingli said earlier on was too hurtful. If Li Chengqian couldn’t answer the question, he would definitely be mocked and ridiculed later.

This was something she didn’t want to see.

At this time, Li Chengqian spoke slowly. His logic was sound and his speech was clear.

“There are four differences. Firstly, the expression of the loop structure is different... Secondly, the way the execution is judged is different... Thirdly, the number of executions is different... Fourthly, the order of execution of the end loop is different...”

Hearing Li Chengqian’s reply, the smile on Ding Ling’s face brightened. “Ever since I’ve known him, Li Chengqian has never lied to me. He has never broken his promise to me. This time... it’s the same. He really knows how to program!”

When Bi Jialiang heard Li Chengqian’s answer, his jaw dropped, his face was stunned.

Li Chengqian’s answer was the model answer. If he were asked the same question, he could only state two differences.

“How is that possible! Qingli, didn’t you say that Li Chengqian doesn’t know how to program?”

Jian Qingli’s mouth was slightly agape. Her face was filled with shock, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. Looking at Li Chengqian, who spoke confidently, she thought she was seeing things. “I don’t know.”

“In the past, he would tell me everything.”

“But he never told me about programming.”

“Maybe it’s something he just learned?” Jian Qingli found a reason that even she didn’t believe.

Bi Jialiang’s eyes lit up when he heard what she said. He picked up a book titled C-language: from Novice to Proficient, and flipped to the chapter on loop structure.

“That’s right, that’s exactly the case!” Looking at the book’s description of the difference between While loop and Do-while loop, he suddenly became excited, because Li Chengqian’s answer was exactly how it was written in the book.

“What do you mean?” Jian Qingli asked in confusion.

“Li Chengqian was lucky, he just happened to have memorized this part.” The emphasis of C language is on understanding and application. An expert who was truly proficient in the C language would answer any question in his own words.

...

Only someone who had just learned the C language would memorize the textbook word for word and answer questions verbatim.

Bi Jialiang had learned C language for three years and could answer most of the questions. However, he couldn’t answer the question the way Li Chengqian did, which was to quote the textbook word for word.

Thus, Bi Jialiang concluded that Li Chengqian was a beginner!

“So that’s how it is.” Jian Qingli instantly felt relieved and relaxed her tense face.

“He’s lucky now to manage to sign up, but the test in the afternoon is a comprehensive test. It’s impossible for him to pass.” Bi Jialiang had also recovered his sunny self. When he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, beaming with confidence.

Li Chengqian was able to memorize a portion of the book titled C-language: from Novice to Proficient, which was about 600-plus pages thick, but could he possibly memorize the entire book?

That was impossible!

“Who is this person? He’s quite amazing!” After the students who came to register heard Li Chengqian’s answer, many people looked up to him.

“It’s Li Chengqian from Grade 12 Class 5. Last time, he was last place in the Year 3 mock exam! His results weren’t good, but I didn’t expect his programming to be so good.” Liu Daqiang also stood in the crowd to watch the commotion. When he heard someone say that Li Chengqian was amazing, he felt especially uncomfortable in his heart, and then said with a face full of disdain.

Instantly, the people around started looking at Li Chengqian in a different way, they have calmed down, and some even looked at him with disdain.

In senior high school, a winner was someone whose grades were good. If one’s grades weren’t good, he would be a nobody.

...

Even if one was good at programming, as long as one didn’t win an award, no one would give care.

“You’re not bad, kid! You’re very organized and your answers are very comprehensive.” Tian Wenming’s eyes were filled with surprise. “If only you had such talent in studying... Forget it, go fill out the form and sign up. Remember to come for the exam in the afternoon.”

“Alright, Teacher.”

“Li Chengqian, your programming skills are amazing! When did you learn it? Why didn’t I know about it?” When filling out the form, Ding Ling asked the question, with her face full of admiration.

Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli were about to leave, but when they heard Ding Ling’s question, they couldn’t help but stop and prick up their ears to listen.

“I learned it recently.” Li Chengqian thought about it and gave a true, albeit rather vague, reply.

“As expected, our guess was right! He really learned it at the last minute.” After Bi Jialiang heard Li Chengqian’s answer, he was even more certain of his guess.

“He crammed at the last minute.”

“Li Chengqian will be eliminated after the test!” Bi Jialiang’s mood became more and more relaxed.

“I’ll see if he still has the cheek to talk to me after he gets eliminated.” Jian Qingli seemed to have thought of something interesting and smiled.
