Chapter 22: Public Opinion Reverses! Su Xin is a God-like Genius!

On the hosting stage.

Su Xin held up a selfie stick and continued to issue commands.

"Open the app store."

"Opened."

"Download Wonderful Video. Oh, and cancel the voice replies; just use a 'ding' sound to notify me when the operation is complete."

"Ding!"

"Open Wonderful Video."

"Ding!"

"I want to watch Seven-Rank Sesame Official."

After a "ding" sound, the video began to play. Su Xin continued to control the video's volume, brightness, playback progress, and so on, using his voice.

Next, he closed Wonderful Video and opened other software to perform operations.

This series of operations left all the netizens watching the livestream and the audience at the venue dumbfounded.

Throughout these several minutes, Su Xin did not touch his phone once, nor did he manually tap the screen, yet he freely controlled all the phone's common functions, performed normal operations on various software, and changed software settings.

It was as if an invisible hand was helping him control the phone according to Su Xin's commands.

One must know that previous so-called smartphone assistants on the market could at most open or close apps, and never before had any been able to perform detailed control over functions within an app.

But now, the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant in Su Xin's hand had truly and completely freed his hands, allowing him to perform all common operations using only his voice.

This was absolutely a qualitative leap!

If all previous smartphone assistants were toys for novelty, then this Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant had truly become a super app with extreme practicality.

As Su Xin continued his operations, the netizens seemed to have forgotten that they had just been mocking and insulting Su Xin, turning instead to discuss the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant enthusiastically, marveling at it one after another.

"I dare say, this is absolutely the most powerful smartphone assistant to date."

"Compared to it, the Siri on my phone is simply retarded; I never want to see it again."

"I really can't believe that such a powerful smartphone assistant was actually born from a high school-level Programming Competition. What does this make those big phone manufacturers think?"

"I'm also very curious. Those big phone manufacturers always claim they spend huge costs to develop smartphone assistants, sometimes even promoting them at length during press conferences, but what's the result? Their smartphone assistants are just so-so."

"Before, I thought it was the limitations of the era, that Artificial Intelligence technology was still far from reaching that point, so those big phone manufacturers couldn't develop practical smartphone assistants."

"But now, when a high school student can clearly develop one, why have the so-called top R&D personnel at those big manufacturers consistently achieved nothing?"

"Perhaps Su Xin is just too much of a genius?"

People fell silent.

At this moment, Su Xin finished his demonstration.

He held the microphone, looked earnestly at the camera, and said, "Let me formally introduce it to everyone once again: this is a piece of software I developed independently, called Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant."

"After my demonstration just now, I believe everyone can see the excellence of this software. Its power is absolutely superior to any software of the same type on the market."

"Previously, some of you felt there was a conspiracy, thinking I knew the competition questions in advance, hired people to create standard answers, and even hired people to develop the software for the finals."

"I want to tell you that Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant will be an epoch-making super app that can bring huge honor and profit to its developer; no one would be foolish enough to sell such software to me."

"At the same time, I have already registered and filed this software. If you are interested, you can check it online; the owner is none other than myself."

"Lastly, a topic you might be interested in: starting tomorrow, Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant will be officially launched on major app stores for everyone to download and use. Please support it!"

"Thank you!"

Su Xin bowed slightly.

There was a clamor of discussion at the venue.

The four contestants in the competition area stared at Su Xin on the hosting stage, dumbfounded.

Xie Wenbin was even more filled with disbelief.

No matter how confident he was, he understood that the software he developed had no comparability with the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant; after all, the latter could completely crush similar software that big phone manufacturers had spent huge costs to develop.

And the software he developed, while also belonging to the Artificial Intelligence-oriented category, couldn't even be considered an entry-level application. Compared to a mature, even epoch-making application like the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant, it was completely on a different level!

After all, he was just a high school student, and this competition was a high school-level Programming Competition; no matter how grand it was, it was impossible to truly develop software with much influence.

Yet Su Xin had done it.

This was like, in a kindergarten-level handicraft competition where everyone was making simple little toys, Su Xin had built a tens-of-meters-tall Gundam with combat capabilities with his bare hands.

This was simply absurd!

A hundred times more absurd than Su Xin getting two perfect scores!

"He... actually really is this strong."

Xie Wenbin stood in place, looking utterly dejected, no longer having the face to say that Su Xin had cheated.

After Su Xin finished his speech, the host began to interview him according to custom. The two chatted and laughed, talking about some interesting anecdotes or troubles during the process of learning programming and developing the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant.

And on the internet.

People were also discussing it fiercely, debating the powerful functions of the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant and arguing about whether there was a conspiracy in the competition.

Of course, most people no longer felt there was a conspiracy in the competition now; after all, as Su Xin said, no one would sell such software that was ahead of the whole world to him just to cheat.

For a time, public opinion on the internet reversed.

"I told you! Su Xin definitely didn't cheat. He has real substance, and his level is stronger than anyone else's!"

"I checked, and Su Xin does indeed have a technology company under his name called 'Tianqi', which he holds 100% of the shares in. The filing for the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant is also in his personal name."

"Just watching the process of his competition earlier, his two hands were like phantoms, not stopping for a second. If he didn't have real substance, how could he be that fast? Even if he memorized all the code, without a sufficiently deep understanding, it would be impossible to reconstruct it at such a speed."

"More than just real substance! He alone could develop a super app like the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant, which is stronger than some so-called top development teams. He is simply a god in the programming world!"

"Don't say anything else, the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant is just too strong. After it goes live tomorrow, I must be the first to download and try it."

"Me too!"

The heated discussion in the livestream made the topic of the Tiantian Smart Phone Assistant explode in popularity, and also caused the talk of a conspiracy to quietly dissipate.

After the host finished the interview, it was the awards ceremony; under the gaze of the masses, the organizer's award presenter handed Su Xin a golden trophy and a large check.

Not long after, the 800,000 in after-tax prize money was also deposited directly into Su Xin's account.

However, Su Xin directly rejected all of the special admissions from the five major universities, as well as the genius program from Longwei Group.
