Chapter 608: Absolutely Must Not Let Zhu Yun Eat Her Fill

The World Programming Competition,

originated from grassroots spontaneous organizations in the early days,

and gradually grew alongside the rapid development of the Internet.

In the early days,

Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, and Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, were both regulars at the World Programming Competition,

and through the World Programming Competition, they met like-minded friends,

joining hands to launch epoch-shaping transformations with profound impact.

And since then,

the World Programming Competition has produced even more elites.

The founder of Google,

the founder of Amazon, and others were all regulars at the World Programming Competition,

including the current Iron Man, Musk, who has also won first prize at the World Programming Competition multiple times.

Therefore,

although the World Programming Competition is merely a grassroots event,

having received no official permission or certification,

almost all enterprises highly recognize the caliber of the World Programming Competition.

Simply put,

as long as you can submit a standout work at the World Programming Competition and secure a certain ranking,

then you have effectively obtained a key to enter major tech giants.

And after entering a major tech giant, you will also enjoy various preferential treatments.

Therefore,

for programmers,

the World Programming Competition is an extremely important contest,

but at the same time, not everyone can participate in the World Programming Competition.

Every other year,

the World Programming Competition issues invitations to contestants worldwide with a certain level of strength.

This strength,

does not refer solely to programming,

but is assessed through results from the International Programming Forum and multiple domestic and international competitions of various sizes.

When Zhu Yun was in high school, she participated in the National Primary and Secondary School Programming Competition, won first prize, received bonus points, and subsequently fulfilled her wish by entering the Computer Science Department at Tsinghua or Peking University.

Then, Zhu Yun also frequently published her own opinions and interpretations on the World Programming Forum, gaining a certain influence on the forum.

Therefore, Zhu Yun received an invitation to the World Programming Competition.

As for Li Xun, there is no need to say much; this fellow is a genius in programming. Although he did not participate in domestic competitions, he has long been famous on the international forum, so Li Xun also received the competition invitation immediately.

While issuing invitations,

the World Programming Competition also opens an online registration channel,

but there are certain assessment standards and requirements.

To register, one must first pass the website's basic programming test, then enter the assessment candidate pool.

Of course,

contestants who previously participated in the World Programming Competition and achieved certain results,

then withdrew for several years,

and later wish to register again can directly state their identity; they are basically exempt from testing and pass automatically.

Cao Mingshun passed directly based on his competition results from several years ago, thus being exempt from the testing requirement.

After registration,

all contestants must, before the deadline, improve their programming drafts and attach their real names along with their ID and identity.

That is to say,

after Zhu Yun, Li Xun, and Cao Mingshun submitted their own work,

the competition's review backend can directly see all identity information of the contestants.

Of course,

this measure by the competition is to prevent someone from claiming credit for a work after it is selected,

but it also gives Hao Hao an opportunity.

Although Hao Hao has not competed in the past two years,

relying on past results, he was still invited by the Saizuwei Society to serve as a judge for groups and regions.

In the area under Hao Hao's responsibility,

all submissions must be jointly evaluated by Hao Hao and nine other judges, with the best selected.

Therefore,

if Hao Hao wants Zhu Yun's work to fail the review, it is actually very simple.

He only needs to retrieve Zhu Yun's reviewed work through search, communicate with the other judges, and directly reject this work.

Anyway, there are many submissions in the group stage, and their levels vary widely; rejecting a couple more makes no difference.

Thus,

after seeing the information about Zhu Yun sent to him by Cao Mingshun,

Hao Hao logged into the programming competition forum,

entered his own judges' discussion group, made up a reason, and posted Zhu Yun's identity information.

The other judges had no objections to this,

after all, there were so many submissions, and Hao Hao was the head judge; giving him a favor was no big deal.

In a few minutes,

Hao Hao had settled things with the other judges,

then replied to Cao Mingshun: "It's done, Teacher. Everyone has been notified. Zhu Yun's submission will not pass the group review."

Good.

Seeing the message Hao Hao sent him,

Cao Mingshun finally felt relieved,

smoothed out his messy hair,

and then began writing his own competition entry.

Since he had registered,

Cao Mingshun had to finish the work.

Perhaps because Hao Hao's response had relieved Cao Mingshun of pressure,

Cao Mingshun was now writing fluently.

Before long,

the programming progress had exceeded half.

Cao Mingshun was overjoyed, thinking inspiration had struck him.

He immediately stared fixedly at the screen and began typing away with a clatter...

"Ding-ling-ling!"
