I am weak and friendly

Chapter 403 Charge! Come help the big boss with his homework!
L Station has been quite lonely lately.

Pingzi, a major figure in the site's traffic, has not appeared for a long time.

Even some of his open-source projects haven't been updated recently.

Many people submitted PRs, but he didn't reply.

As a well-known figure known for "owning a house on L Station," "living on L Station," and being a "posting maniac," this situation is clearly a bit off.

Everyone felt that this was completely unlike Tang Yiping's style.

On L-site, several threads have recently been started to discuss this matter, and everyone is speculating about what exactly is going on.

"Has the big boss passed his peak and entered a period of complacency? Or is he brewing up some new big project?"

"I think they're brewing up some big new project. I can't wait! The next project is sure to be groundbreaking!"

"But everyone has a period of slackness, right? I just hope that the boss's slack period won't be too long..."

"It's possible that something happened that caused the delay; after all, people can't always stay at Station L."

Some people were really worried, so they went to ask Gao Yuxiang, who also frequents L station. Gao Yuxiang replied, "Pingzi went out to have fun when it was raining a couple of days ago, and ended up getting sick and hospitalized with a fever. He should be resting now."

I see?

The reason is surprisingly simple.

but……

"Given Hirako's personality, even if he's sick and hospitalized, will it affect his ability to launch new projects?"

"The increased brain temperature caused by fever will only increase the brain's thinking speed!"

"What's the big deal about a fever? Just get a little more rain on you and your temperature will drop!"

Of course, despite the complaints, people are still quite worried.

"I heard that Hirako-sensei's health isn't very good. He's in a wheelchair most of the time, and his fever and hospitalization were quite serious. I hope he gets better soon, Hirako-sensei!"

"Anyone from Hailing? Let's go visit Boss Pingzi."

"No, it's better not to. Being sick and hospitalized means you need to rest anyway. Just keep an eye on things."

There are quite a few locals in Hailing standing at L station, and many people did consider going to visit Tang Yiping, but in the end they felt it wouldn't be good to disturb him, so they gave up.

To vent these anxieties, wishing posts became popular on L-site.

"A prayer post! I hope that Hirako gets well soon and returns to the community! I'm willing to sacrifice ten pounds of my own fat!"

"I'd be willing to trade 30 years of being single for the boss's health!"

"I'm willing to sacrifice the hair on my head!"

"Are you sincere? What's the use of sacrificing something you don't have? I'm different; I'm willing to sacrifice my virginity!"

After several days of discussion, when the special situation occurred in Hailing City, everyone felt that Boss Pingzi had probably been infected, and they were even more worried, and this has continued until now.

The great master Pingzi has finally appeared.

The issue is……

Big assignment?
What is a student management system based on the C programming language?
Tang Yiping's post received immediate replies as soon as it was published.

"????"

No, how are these words connected with the big boss Pingzi?

Things are never as simple as they seem!
Good news, Boss Hirako is not dead!

Even better news! Pingzi is up to his old tricks again!
Everyone stared at the post for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what kind of thing it was.

As expected, after undergoing a fever upgrade, Master Pingzi has evolved once again, entering an abstract realm beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Mortals can only interpret things using their own limited understanding. "I get it, this is a C programming competition!"

"After learning various languages, is Pingzi finally planning to return to the basics and classics and start delving into C language?"

"So, is the big shot's next project going to be written in C? What will it be? Looking forward to it."

"I think the big shot is probably planning to build his own team. He's choosing his teammates. C language represents the foundation, and only those with a solid foundation can catch his eye! I'm super rich, I'm willing to pay to work for him!"

"Hey bro, welcome to our team! Everyone on our team is fluent in C!"

"It's confirmed! The expert's next project will definitely be written in C! I've already come up with a name for him: OICC!"

In a group discussion, a netizen named "Recursive Dream" said: "Is it possible that Pingzi, the master, just needs to submit a big assignment written in C language? I remember that Pingzi is a college student himself."

"????"

Recursive Dream continued, "Theoretically speaking, it's normal that Hirako was interning and working on projects during the summer vacation and didn't have time to do his homework, right? When it was almost time for school to start, he was preparing to catch up on his homework, but then he got sick, which resulted in him not finishing it... That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

It's so plausible that it looks fake.

"Although it seems reasonable, I think it's impossible!"

"Yes, the expert could easily write hundreds of these kinds of assignments with one hand. These things are just a few hundred lines of code. What's a big assignment for others is nothing to our expert Pingzi, who is all about brute force aesthetics in engineering."

"It seems very likely, but it's absolutely impossible."

"It's reasonable, but it's still unreasonable!"

"The beaver is dead.jpg"

"I don't care if your arguments are reasonable or not. Lazy people are still arguing, while diligent people have already submitted their work. Hey, take over the assignment! Student Management System.7z"

"Damn, that's so despicable! I want to write one too!"

"No, if I can't submit code to the expert, can't I at least submit assignments to the expert?"

"If I can't write OIFU, can't I at least write a student management system in C?"

"It's not easy to write a masterpiece worthy of the experts!"

"I don't know about you guys, but I've already started writing!"

"The first L-Station Themed Programming Contest is now open!"

In a restaurant near Hailing No. 1 Hospital, Tang Yiping and his son, along with Tongtong's family, took their seats in a private room.

After some negotiation about the menu, Sister Gao ordered her food and then noticed that her husband had already taken out his laptop and started typing away.

"Old Zhang, what's the rush? You still have to work overtime at this hour?" Sister Gao said, sounding a little annoyed.

What time is it today?
Hirako's father has arrived. He's a truly distinguished guest. Is this all you're doing?

She gave Lao Zhang a nudge, telling him to tone it down, and quickly said to Master Tang, "I'm so sorry, Lao Zhang and his colleagues are just like that in their jobs. Back when I got married, the hotel was still working on code changes..."

"I'm not working overtime. I'm participating in a programming competition organized by Pingzi. The prize pool for this speedrun competition has already accumulated to tens of thousands of yuan," said Lao Zhang. "I have to hurry up and write it, otherwise I won't be able to submit it in time. If I win a prize, we can skip dinner tonight!"

Master Tang: ? ? ?

Sister Gao: ? ? ?
Tang Yiping: ? ? ?

"Are you talking about me?" Tang Yiping asked blankly.

“Yeah, and there’s another big shot named Pingzi,” Old Zhang said.

"No, I didn't hold a programming competition! I just asked for a big assignment..."

"Yes, that's the one," Old Zhang said.
