The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 251 Cow Pies Eating Show

"He is the top three in the world?" Susan grew even more anxious.

A satisfied grin crossed Joseph's face after he successfully made Susan even more worried about Jacob. He turned to Julian and said, "Actually cousin, Wilson and I are good friends. If you want, I can ask him to show some mercy to Mr. Shelby so that he doesn't have to lose so badly."

As Julian gripped Susan's hand tighter to calm her down, he looked at Joseph and said, "Before that, why don't you take a look at the screen first?"

'He still doesn’t want to give up yet?’

The tip of Joseph’s grin curled into a disdainful smile as he turned over to the projector screen.

It was easy to see whose progress was faster since they were using the same KOP program. Joseph felt that Seth purposely put both of their works on the big screen to only further humiliate Jacob more.

However, he was stunned when he looked at the screen.

What was happening?

From the screen, Jacob was obviously faster than Wilson.

Wilson was already performing extraordinarily as he had already completed 20 lines of code, but Jacob had finished 25 lines.

'How is that possible? He is just an unknown programmer. How could he possibly wipe the floor with Wilson in programming?

The KOP program started out from a single number. Then, the programmer had to go through a series of complicated calculations and lines of code by basing off the number to complete the program.

The number was given randomly, so it meant that their calculations and outcome would be different. However, the entire progress was more or less the same.

At the end of the KOP program, everyone would have 300 lines of code, nothing more nothing less.

Right now, the fact that Jacob could finish more lines of code than Wilson meant that Jacob's arithmetic capability was far superior to him.

"Is this Jacob messing around?” Joseph's face turned grim. "If there is a data discrepancy during the progress, the entire program won't run in the end."

"Well, let's see how then," Julian replied, his face taking on a serious expression.

He only got to know a tiny fragment about Jacob's ability through Seth who kept flaunting how good Jacob was whenever he got the chance. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

If Jacob was really that good as Seth mentioned, then

Wilson was no match for him.

"Jacob..." Susan's anxiety got worse as more lines of code appeared on the screen. She was worried that her brother’s body could not handle such heavy computation and complex operating procedures.

Joseph observed Susan for a while and then raised one of his eyebrows.

'Hah! There's no use in acting calm already, Julian. Your wife has exposed everything. Jacob’s defeat is inevitable!'

The competition between the two programmers continued, and more and more lines of code appeared on the screen. 1

As the reporters were busy taking photos and videos, they began to discuss among themselves.

"Why does it seem like Jacob is faster than Wilson?"

"Well, on the surface, yeah, but there is one very crucial thing about the KOP program. Its arithmetic calculation requires a very high degree of accuracy, and a very small mistake will make the entire program collapse. Jacob is fast, I’ll give him that, but I doubt that his calculation is correct."

"Jacob has stressed his speed too much. Wilson is ranked the top three, so it's really unrealistic that Jacob could be faster than him."

"Yeah. I can already see that the program will collapse when he is running it later on." There were many discussions amongst the crowd, but every one of them was certain that Jacob was going to be the underdog of the competition.

After all, no matter if it was Jacob or the SL system, their reputations were both lower than Wilson and the DC system, so it was normal that nobody had faith in the former.

Time passed minute by minute. Towards the end, the calculation got more and more complicated, and Wilson had no choice but to slow down and think before making his steps.

In contrast, Jacob was still able to keep up with his terrific momentum.

300 lines of code.

After he pressed the enter key the last time, Jacob withdrew his hand from the keyboard and announced, "I'm done."

"You’re done?" Seth quickly turned to look at the timer.

From the moment Jacob shouted "done," the total time he spent was 25 minutes and 3 seconds.

"Twenty-five minutes?" A small commotion was spread across the crowd.

The all-time record for first-place was 28 minutes. If Jacob’s program was entirely correct and could run on the phone, then he would set a new record.

But, was that possible?

"What a shame," a person lamented. "Jacob is pretty good. He would stand a chance against Wilson if he plays it safe, but unfortunately, he's too impatient."

"Yeah, you're right. 25 minutes, that's too much. I'm pretty certain that there must be some errors in his program."

"He didn't even slow down when the operation suddenly got harder towards the end. I assume he must have given up on accuracy already."

All of the reporters sighed.

As a Canadian, it went without saying that they hoped Jacob could win the match. However, it occurred to them that it would not be happening anymore.

Wilson was startled as well when Jacob announced that he had finished the KOP program. He turned around to look at the timer and then he sneered.

Twenty-five minutes!

He refused to believe that a Canadian could really finish the KOP program in such a short amount of time.

'He must be messing around.’

"Mr. Shelby, I hope you understand that speed is not everything. The main criteria here is accuracy," Wilson said.

"Of course I know that," Jacob replied flatly.

Wilson sneered, "You finished the KOP program in 25 minutes. If your program can run on the phone, I’ll live stream myself eating cow pies!"

"Really? Even if you lose, you don’t have to do this to yourself, you know?" Jacob was stunned.

Wilson was caught between tears and laughter. It took him quite a while to recover himself and said, "Do you really think you’ve already won? I'll put my words here. We Americans will always be the best in computer science. There is no chance that you Canadians can defeat us."

Wilson's brazen words caused the people in the hall to fall silent. Aside from Joseph who was grinning, all the other people's faces turned ugly.

Jacob’s eyes had changed as well. He narrowed his eyes and then he suddenly chuckled. He turned to Seth and instructed, "Seth, go find some cow pies for our dear Mr. Wilson over here."

"It will be hard, but... I'll ask my men to get it for me." Seth raised his brows and then dispersed his men to d o Jacob's bidding.

Even though both of them were talking in their own dialect, Wilson could understand them too. He let out a snicker and then turned back to his program.

After ten or so minutes, or 38 minutes, Wilson finished his program as well. 33 minutes was his fastest record, but apparently, Wilson did not play his best and his condition was normal, so he ended up spending 38 minutes to finish the KOP program.

"Let's start running it now." Wilson picked up the phone and looked expectantly at Jacob.

"Sure." Jacob nodded.

"Likewise, I'll count to three. After three, both of you press start at the same time," Seth said.

"One, two, three, start!"
