I am weak and friendly

Chapter 242 Breakthrough, Tang Yiping!
At 7:50 p.m., Tang Yiping finally finished preparing and started the live broadcast. Almost immediately, hundreds of people flooded into the live broadcast room.

The speed at which the crowd surged in gave Tang Yiping a feeling that "I'm famous now."

"Ah, I've met the real Hirako-sama!"

"Boss Hirako is so young!"

"Holy crap, I've met the legendary Pingzi before? He's actually my junior? No way!!! I'm so close to being a genius?"

"No way, this is Hirako? So young? Is Hirako really a freshman in college? I thought he was just trying to look young in an abstract way!"

"You guys are a bit ignorant, aren't you? Boss Pingzi has posted his own photos before, at the entrance of Qihang Building."

"No, it feels different. Back then, Hirako was just one person in the crowd; there were no close-up shots like this!"

Tang Yiping never expected that the first question he would face after starting his live stream would be a comment on his appearance.

And amazement at one's own age.

However... Tang Yiping was neither in a hurry nor worried.

You'll soon find out that age isn't something to be surprised about!
My mediocrity and stupidity are the real problem!
Thinking about this, Tang Yiping felt quite a bit of pressure.

But then I thought, hey, why am I under so much pressure? As long as I perform consistently, I'll be mediocre and stupid enough!

"I'm going to focus on the problems now. To be fair, I won't be reading your comments, and I hope you won't discuss problem-solving strategies in the comments section. I hope you'll cooperate."

After saying that, Tang Yiping opened the competition interface of Maike.com.

The competition was still a few minutes away from starting.

Tang Yiping took a deep breath and made a downward pressing motion.

I, Tang Yiping, the hope of the sect, the spiritual anchor of the outer disciples, the eldest disciple of the Ox and Horse Courtyard, and an unparalleled genius, will attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage today!

This world has been trapped in the Qi Refining stage for too long. Watch as I transform my Qi into a rainbow, piercing the sky and shooting down the sun!
Today, I will change the color of the sky and earth, change the course of the rivers, and make the sky no longer able to block my view!
After cheering himself up, Tang Yiping felt his blood boiling, and he couldn't wait to break through this shackle and become a Foundation Establishment stage expert!
Then, looking down at his score of 1407, he felt a chill run down his spine.

There was no other way but to keep adding drama to his life:
It's a pity that these mountains are so secluded and the forests so dense, that there's not a single person to witness the birth of such a genius as myself...

Ha! You remain silent today, but once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I'll make sure you don't even dare to look at me!
then……

He saw the elevator doors open on the 41st floor, and Brother Ban sneaked in furtively.

At the reception desk on the 41st floor, there sat a young man with upright posture and a very energetic appearance. Upon seeing him, I immediately stood up, went up to him, and asked him a few questions.

Brother Ban pointed inside and said something. The young man quickly ran to Shen Hong and whispered a few words. Then Shen Hong went up to him, shook hands with Brother Ban, and led him in to sit down.

Tang Yiping: "???"

Are there still seats for spectators?
Meow meow meow?
what's the situation?
Why did Brother Ban come here?
Did he know that I was going to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage today?
Tang Yiping, who had added a lot of drama to his performance, almost lost his composure.

Wait, don't come! I'll feel ashamed of my childish thoughts if you come.

Ok……

I only regret that these mountains are secluded and the forests are dense, and that only a blind, ox-horse teacher witnessed my earth-shattering act...

Tang Yiping clenched his fist again.

He finished preparing, focused intently, and looked up at the screen in front of him.

The competition begins at 20:00 PM!
"Welcome to the Markk.net Weekly Contest. This round of the competition consists of eight problems, with a time limit of two hours (120 minutes), and will use the ACM/ICPC format..."

After briefly reading the instructions, Tang Yiping clicked the mouse, and the first question appeared in front of him.

Problem A: Given a string containing only lowercase letters, determine if it is a palindrome.

The first step to breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage is to draw Qi into the body!

Tang Yiping glanced at the question and a wicked smile crept onto his lips.

Hehehe, it's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning!

Watch me... break!

Tang Yiping placed his hands on the keyboard and began typing furiously.

In the live stream, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Pfft, Boss Hirako laughed!"

"What a wicked smile!"

"Suddenly I feel so lucky to be able to get Hirako's wicked smile, while I can only get Hirako's rejections time and time again."

"Is that Versailles?" "Get lost! It's because you guys show off too much that even the great Hirako won't give in-depth reviews anymore!"

"That's outrageous! Kill him!"

"Sigh, what am I doing? Why am I still working after hours, organizing my colleagues to watch Hirako solve problems that even elementary school students could do..."

"Watching a movie is still watching a movie, and this one doesn't cost any money."

"That makes sense!"

While everyone was complaining, Tang Yiping had already solved the first problem.

In general, the first problem in these algorithm competitions is called the "sign-in problem," which is the most basic and simplest problem that even beginners can solve.

In other words, it was an easy question.

With a faint smile and an air of nonchalance, Tang Yiping broke through the first barrier with unstoppable momentum.

It takes 3 minutes.

submit……

AC!

Tang Yiping's smile became even more sinister.

Hehehehe, I've made a breakthrough!

From this moment on, I am already halfway to Foundation Establishment!

Watch as I sweep through the competition, finish the race, and aim for 1500 points!
Watch as I attempt the second step of the Foundation Establishment stage: the Thirty-Six Small Heavenly Circuits!

Tang Yiping looked at the next question:
Problem B: A building has an elevator that starts on the 1st floor. Given a sequence of requests by floor, calculate the total distance the elevator travels after completing all requests.

Tang Yiping's smile remained unchanged.

Tang Yiping's lips twitched slightly.

Tang Yiping's smile froze.

Wait, don't rush, I know elevators like the back of my hand! I ride elevators every day!
Wait, I've thought of a strange algorithm that could allow me to take an elevator directly to the universe, breaking through gravity.

Get out of here! That's a useless algorithm; I'm working on a problem right now! Get lost!

Calm down, calm down, don't rush...

He looked at the question quietly.

One minute.

Two minutes.

three minutes……

Live stream chat: "What is Master Pingzi doing?"

"What's going on? Could it be that Boss Hirako is stuck?"

"You can't even do this kind of question?"

"So they were just playing with abstract concepts!"

……

At the same time, in another building called Qihang, Young Master Tang had already completed the first question.

"This is ridiculous! Can't you give me something more challenging? Even a dog could do it!" Young Master Tang slammed his mouse impatiently.

He then forcibly suppressed his displeasure, because tonight he wasn't going to complete the game, but rather to speedrun it and reduce everyone else's score.

You think you're qualified to write programs? What are you qualified to write OIFU for, or any open-source projects?
You think you're worthy of the surname Tang? You think you're worthy of being called Tang Yiping?
A few minutes later, the user with the ID "You're not worthy of the surname Tang" completed the second question and surged to first place in the competition.

Captain Li sat upright in the corner, outwardly appearing indifferent and silent, but inwardly he was wailing.

Help! Who's the brilliant idiot who insists on doing live streams to climb the ranks? Spare me!

Regardless of who wins in the end, he will have to endure a sleepless night.

Why are both of these so troublesome?

World, be destroyed!
