I'm a scientist, why can't I have faith?

On the large screen in the answer area, their names were clearly displayed, and the final algorithm evaluation result was undoubtedly a perfect score.

In other words, they accurately diagnosed all 10 samples prepared by the competition team without missing a single one. This accuracy rate is comparable to, or even better than, that of experienced expert consultations.

"That scared me to death! I thought someone had stolen my chicken. But speaking of which, who did the cleanup work last?"

Wei Linfeng shook his head. "You saw it when you woke up; I was fast asleep right next to you."

"It must have been done by Wang Dong himself. I didn't expect that he could handle the project on his own in just two months. That's pretty amazing."

Indeed, upon hearing Wei Linfeng's words, Lan Ce, who had been indifferent before, suddenly thought that although Wang Dong had done the least valuable job this time, he was just a complete drudge.

Even so, it was not something a newcomer who had only recently started learning AI could handle. He not only completed his assigned tasks but also finished the project, which significantly reduced the burden on the rest of the team.

"So this is what mentors are like normally..."

Lan Ce and Wei Linfeng suddenly realized the same feeling they had with their mentor: it's so good to have someone who can do the work!

"Let's go, stop thinking about it, let's hurry up and fill our stomachs first."

The food provided by the five-star hotel was of a very high standard, as the two of them had already experienced yesterday. Coupled with the lack of pressure to submit a task, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Inside the restaurant, the bombshell news was still going on.

The most shocked of all was Kensuke Sugiyama, who was still half asleep and thought he was dreaming.

He vaguely remembered that this team's progress was about the same as theirs yesterday, so how come they had already handed in their papers after waking up?

Do the people of Daxia not sleep at night?

A strange sense of pressure arose, so he barely ate a few bites of breakfast before rushing off to the answer section to continue coding.

Wang Dong and his team had already submitted their answers and ended the competition early, but for the other teams, it was just the beginning.

Most teams are still experiencing repeated crashes due to model overfitting, or insufficient training and validation data. Some teams are even just starting to process data, having to convert the format of hundreds of thousands of DICOM data points.

Meanwhile, Wang Dong and his friends were already enjoying their holiday in a leisurely manner.

Wang Dong slept straight through until the afternoon. He was forcibly woken up by the alarm he had set. If he had slept until he woke up naturally, his biological clock would have been completely ruined.

"That's impressive, junior. You finished all the finishing work by yourself."

Lan Ce patted Wang Dong's shoulder forcefully, giving him high praise.

"Now I understand why professors like to take on graduate students like us. Having someone who can do the work makes projects much easier."

Wang Dong gave an awkward smile.

Yes, I've finally experienced the life of a cow or a horse ahead of time.

"Several teams submitted their papers today, but their algorithm accuracy was not as high as ours."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the gold prize is practically guaranteed. Let's start thinking about how to distribute the prize money."

"Aren't we number one?"

Wang Dong raised a question.

Lan Ce looked at this junior who had just entered university and shook his head helplessly.

You're still too young, junior. In Daxia, understanding social dynamics is a very profound subject.

As a senior, Lan Ce gave Wang Dong some rare guidance.

"While we are undoubtedly number one in both speed and quality, that doesn't mean we will necessarily be number one in the end."

These words completely overwhelmed Wang Dong.

Lan Ce continued, "No matter what kind of competition it is, especially the competitions in Great Xia, there are many intricacies involved."

"Sometimes, to get ahead, you not only need real talent and hard work, but also some connections."

"Look at that girl over there. She published an SCI paper in high school, and it was in the medical field. And her father is the president of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University."

"The guy on the other side, his level is below mine, but he also published a paper at CVPR. He's the first in his class because he has an academician grandfather."

Wang Dong seemed to have a clue what Lan Ce was trying to express.

"There are also children from wealthy families in academia; we usually call them academic tycoons."

Lan Ce cut a piece of sirloin steak and put it in his mouth.

"Of course, there are many talented and ambitious people among them, but most of them are just ordinary people."

"But even so, unless it's an overwhelming advantage, you generally can't compete with others."

Wei Linfeng reassured Wang Dong from the side.

"But don't worry, we're not afraid of these people. In essence, we've benefited from the influence of the academic clique."

He pointed to the empty seat next to him, which was Su Yuran's seat.

"Although she is just Academician Du Fan's niece, we are not afraid of any shady dealings."

Wang Dong had never thought about these things. He never imagined that even just participating in a competition would be so complicated, let alone the other aspects.

Since they had already submitted their papers in advance, Wang Dong and his group were not subject to the rule that they could not leave the hotel.

Lan Ce and Wei Linfeng had some things to do, so they flew back to Yanjing after dinner. Su Yuran also had to go to Suzhou for personal reasons, so only Wang Dong remained in Xia Meng's team.

After all, someone still needs to be present at the final awards ceremony, but they don't know the specific results yet.

Wang Dong slept until he naturally woke up. Compared to the other teams who were racing against time, he was very relaxed.

Bored, he dialed Li Lei's number again.

"Hey Lei, do you have time? Take me to hang out in Xia Meng."

A puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Aren't you in a competition? You still have time to go out and have fun?"

"It's finished ahead of schedule, but we have to wait for everyone else to finish before we can get the results. Right now, it's just wasted time."

Li Lei could feel Wang Dong's Versailles vibe even through the phone.

It's only because his best friend could tolerate it; he would have turned against anyone else long ago.

"Come to Xiamen University, I'll show you around. To be honest, there's not much else to go on this island."

And so Wang Dong arrived at the gate of Xiamen University as promised.

"Hey? Where's your pretty senior?"

"Oh, she went to Suzhou, apparently to take care of some business. Is that related to our schedule today?"

"It's related. If it weren't for those couples' photo spots, there would be no need to go."

"I've already said we're not in that kind of relationship."

"Hey, there are no outsiders here, no need to pretend with me..."

Wang Dong knew that nothing he said would make a difference; in Li Lei's heart, his admiration for Senior Su Yuran was an indisputable fact.
