Chapter 21: A Stunning Debut!

As soon as the word "perfect score" was uttered, the crowd at the venue immediately began to discuss it heatedly.

They had watched the entire competition, and having heard Lv Huaiyuan's explanation earlier, some were no longer so convinced about the rigging.

But the netizens watching the live stream were different; most of them had only paid attention to a few key moments, or had even come to the stream just because of the trending search, and had never heard Lv Huaiyuan's explanation, so naturally, the majority felt there was rigging.

Therefore, upon hearing the host announce that Su Xin had received a perfect score once again, they immediately began to accuse and curse in righteous indignation, one after another.

"Too rigged!"

"It's already been exposed, yet they still dare to do it so openly; they are simply treating everyone like monkeys!"

"The Qianlong Cup has been held for five sessions, and I've watched for five years; I have never seen anyone able to get over 450 points. No matter how top-tier the genius, no matter how good the software, the judges could always find flaws, yet Su Xin can actually get a perfect score? Is he perfect?"

"Who dares to stand up and say there's no rigging?"

"I dare say, these five judges have definitely all been bought off; otherwise, how could everyone give Su Xin a perfect score in both the main competition and the finals?"

"It's more than just the judges! Even the organizers have huge problems; otherwise, with so many people saying there's rigging, why has the organizer remained completely unresponsive? Why are they just watching the judges continue to give Su Xin perfect scores?"

"It's ruined! This competition is completely ruined!"

"Jointly organized by five top universities, plus the sponsorship of Longwei Group, this competition should have become a beacon for the industry, attracting more and more young people to devote themselves to programming and promoting the prosperity and development of the entire industry, but now, it's all been ruined by one person, ruined by a rigged show."

"It's truly a tragedy for the industry!"

"I'll never watch the Qianlong Cup again."

Quite a few people exited the live stream directly.

At the venue, some who suspected rigging also stood up and walked out of the stadium in anger.

The competition area.

The other four contestants looked displeased.

Especially the defending champion, Xie Wenbin.

The moment the host announced the results, his face turned from green to white.

Before this, almost everyone believed the championship belonged to him, and even he himself firmly believed so.

But now, Su Xin had snatched away the championship glory and the million-dollar prize that should have been his, and he had done it using the despicable means of cheating.

"This is unfair!"

"Su Xin is cheating; this competition is rigged. I demand a rematch! Otherwise, I won't accept it, and the vast number of netizens won't accept it either!"

Xie Wenbin's righteous voice echoed across the competition floor, attracting the attention of many.

Hearing this, many media outlets immediately aimed their cameras at Su Xin and Xie Wenbin. Loving the chaos, they were eagerly anticipating the situation to develop in a more explosive direction, as that would provide more talking points.

However, Su Xin just sat calmly in front of his competition computer, ignoring Xie Wenbin's shouting and ignoring the media cameras.

On the host stage.

Seeing that the situation at the venue was not right, the host quickly picked up the microphone and said loudly:

"The competition has ended. Now, let us invite the champion, Su Xin, to the stage to demonstrate the championship-winning software he meticulously designed and developed."

Hearing this, Xie Wenbin's face turned gloomy.

Su Xin walked onto the host stage with a calm expression, took the microphone handed over by the host, smiled indifferently, and said:

"Hello everyone, I am Su Xin."

The eyes of all the audience fell upon him, all the cameras were aimed at him, and in front of the live streams, countless netizens were watching him.

At this moment, regardless of his reputation, Su Xin had become the focus of nearly a million people.

"Before the competition officially started, I said that I would become the champion of this year's Qianlong Cup."

"Now, I have done it."

As soon as this arrogant statement was made, it immediately provoked even stronger anger from the live audience and the netizens in the stream. They felt that Su Xin was challenging everyone's bottom line and mocking everyone—

You all say it's rigged, but you still can't do anything about me, and can only watch as I win the championship with an unprecedented perfect score.

Cheating is one thing, but to be this brazen?

A large number of netizens flooded the screen with angry insults.

Su Xin's expression remained indifferent as he continued:

"However, it seems many people feel that I only won the championship by cheating. Why? Just because I was too confident before the competition, and I got unprecedented perfect scores in both rounds of the competition, everyone seems to think this is unreasonable?"

As he spoke, Su Xin shook his head:

"I know that regarding this point, no matter how I explain it, everyone won't easily believe me. Therefore, next, I will use the software I developed to convince everyone!"

The venue gradually quieted down.

Everyone also wanted to see just how excellent the software that allowed Su Xin to win the championship really was. After all, even if he were a cheating champion, since the judges dared to give a perfect score, at the very least, the excellence of the software itself was beyond doubt; otherwise, that would be equivalent to putting the cheating out in the open, and no matter how arrogant the organizers were, they couldn't possibly do that.

On the internet.

Netizens were still constantly flooding the comments, the vast majority of which were still mockery and insults.

But Su Xin ignored all of this.

He was preparing to officially clear his name.

At this moment, the host handed over a mobile phone.

This had been prepared in advance by the organizers, and the smart phone assistant Su Xin had written had just been installed, ready to be demonstrated to the audience.

Su Xin took the phone, put on a headset, and projected the phone screen onto the large screen behind the host stage before beginning the official demonstration.

He opened the smart phone assistant.

After a brilliant display of graphics, the system popped up permission prompts, and Su Xin clicked allow one by one.

"Hello, Master. I am the smart phone assistant Tiantian. This is your first time using me. Would you like to record your voiceprint for binding?"

"Can I change it later?"

"Yes, you can. After verifying your identity, you can unbind and re-record a new voiceprint at any time."

"Uh... let's do it next time."

"Understood. Next time you need to bind your voiceprint, simply call Tiantian and make the request. Would you like to enter the beginner's tutorial now?"

"No need, open the camera directly."

"Camera opened."

Su Xin's simple demonstration made some knowledgeable netizens take it seriously; from these few short exchanges, one could see that the voice recognition capability of the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant seemed stronger than similar software currently on the market.

And at this moment.

Su Xin fixed the phone into a selfie stick, extended it about twenty centimeters forward, posed for a selfie, and continued to issue commands:

"Record a 13-second video."

"Received!"

The phone camera automatically entered video recording mode, and it was the front-facing camera mode.

Su Xin held the selfie stick and slowly rotated in a circle; at the 13-second mark, the video recording stopped automatically.

Seeing this, the vast majority of netizens and the live audience were stunned.

It was not that they didn't know about smart phone assistants; many brands of phones now have such software, but while those things claim to be smart, most people prefer to call them "idiot phone assistants." Aside from trying them out a few times for the novelty at the beginning, most people would basically turn them off afterward.

Because they were too useless to use.

The most important problem was, of course, inaccurate recognition; if the pronunciation wasn't standard, it was very easy for it to misidentify, and if the meaning was even slightly ambiguous, it couldn't understand, requiring one to repeat it several times, which was incredibly annoying—it was better to just operate it manually.

Secondly, so-called smart phone assistants could only perform some of the most basic operations, such as opening certain functions or opening certain software.

Anything more specific could not be done.

For example, one could use voice to control opening the camera function, but it was impossible to control the camera to shoot like Su Xin did, let alone be precise to the second and finally stop automatically.

This kind of function is actually very attractive to some people who love taking selfies.

Because when holding a phone with one hand to take a selfie, it is often not that easy for a finger to accurately tap the shutter button; although there is a shutter button on a selfie stick, it is impossible to carry it with you at all times, and it is actually not very convenient to use.

But if one had this smart phone assistant, one could shoot videos or photos in any pose as one pleased.

Just a few lines of dialogue and this demonstration of automatic video recording had already piqued the interest of many tech-savvy users who love novelties.

But this was not over yet.

Su Xin was still continuing the demonstration.
