189 The World Will Cheer You On
The next morning, just as the sun rose, a large number of students and reporters appeared outside the auditorium of Divine Dragon University.
Thank you readers!
In the morning, the trending searches were all about Li Chengqian again. The top ten topics were mostly about incidents related to Li Chengqian. This riled many celebrities who relied on the trending searches to maintain their popularity.
Li Chengqian did not rely on trending topics to make a living, but many people did.
Trending #1: Windows, Apple and Google lost 100 billion yuan in a hacker attack. Divine Dragon Software is suspected to be behind this.
Trending #2: Windows, Apple and Google in serious negotiations with Divine Dragon Country, requesting investigation into the Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian. Queries on legitimacy of the Company in Divine Dragon Country.

…
Trending #10: The luckiest people on earth are Li Chengqian’s teammates. Zhao Peng and Ding Ling, who are they? They won direct admission to Divine Dragon University by doing nothing!
“I heard that the country representatives of three companies will be here today to question Li Chengqian on the spot,” someone said excitedly at the entrance of the auditorium.
“Don’t spout nonsense. The Divine Dragon Software Company has already made an announcement. They said that they have nothing to do with this. The three companies are making baseless allegations.”
“The Divine Dragon System even made an announcement mocking the three companies. It said that the three companies’ nests had been destroyed by hackers, which means that the technology of the three companies is not good. It further shows that the safety of the three companies’ products is questionable.”
“It means that the Divine Dragon System is the safest system.”
“Everyone knows Windows security is non-existent.”
“Safety of the Android system? Oh, I’m sorry, there’s never been such a thing.”
“I don’t know about the safety of the Apple system. In the past everyone thought that it was very good. However, after this incident, I think we need to rethink this.”
“F*ck, our Apple System is the safest system in the world.” A foreign reporter cursed in dissatisfaction after hearing everyone’s discussion. He was so agitated he nearly wanted to hit someone.
However, he was stopped by a burly security guard who was maintaining order. He asked in an extremely stern voice, “What are you trying to do?”
“He’s slandering the security of the Apple system!”
The security guard’s expression was stern as he said loudly, “This is Divine Dragon Country. We have freedom of speech! Whatever he says is his freedom. It has nothing to do with you!”
The security guard was very imposing as he stared at the reporters.
In the end, the reporter conceded defeat. After laughing awkwardly, he lowered his head and rushed to the auditorium.
“D*mn, what is this! Do you still think that the Divine Dragon Country is the Divine Dragon Country from 20 years ago? A foreigner is simply looking for trouble when he thinks he can lord over us,” the security guard said proudly.
“Good job, Li Yang!” The surrounding students gave the security guard a thumbs up.
At this moment, the auditorium was packed. The auditorium, which could accommodate 30,000 people, was already filled with people. Many people were standing in the aisle because they couldn’t find a seat.
Everyone wanted to see Li Chengqian in person. Everyone was very curious as to why Li Chengqian was such a genius.
Below the stage in the auditorium, many cameras had been set up.
Originally, the award ceremony should be reported by Station 13 of the National Television Station, but it was Station 1 that came.
Other than Station 1, all the internationally renowned media outlets had already rushed over after receiving the news.
All the reporters came prepared with pointed questions.
“Did we go to the wrong place…! Why are all the academicians of the Academy of Sciences here? Look, that’s Academician Lin Qu from the Software Research Institute, and that’s Academician Gao Xiang from the Academy of Space Technology.” After seeing the people on stage, many students who didn’t know the news thought that they had come to the wrong place.
“All the leaders of Divine Dragon University are here! Is this the National Science and Technology Conference?” A student said in extreme surprise. He had never encountered such a scene before.
“Damn, why is this Junior Informatics Programming Competition so awesome?” Some students had also participated in the award ceremony last year. At that time, only Dean Chen of the School of Information was present. In fact, in the past, Dean Chen had always been the one to host the competition awards.
Soon, the award ceremony began. The process was no different from the previous years.
However, the host was Principal Wu instead of Dean Chen.
The process went very quickly. Principal Wu was very capable. He summarized the competition in a few words and quickly wrapped up the award ceremony.
Finally, his gaze landed on Li Chengqian.
“Last but not least, let’s invite our champion team, Li Chengqian’s team, to go on stage. He’s from Jinshan Province, Tianyi High School. In this competition, he scored full marks for the theory test and the hands-on test!”
“At the same time, Li Chengqian is the developer of the Divine Dragon System, a domestic operating system. He is also the developer of the Divine Dragon Compiler!”
“Furthermore, Li Chengqian invented the brainwave coding technology that transcended the times. It directly increased the input efficiency of computer information by a hundred times, allowing our country’s information technology to directly surpass the entire world.”
“Everyone, please give a warm applause and invite Li Chengqian on stage.” Principal Wu’s tone was uplifting.
Enthusiastic applause came from the audience.
Below the stage, the foreign media, who had appeared listless thus far, suddenly became excited. They aimed their cameras at Li Chengqian, capturing every single one of his actions.
Li Chengqian and the other two walked onto the stage under everyone’s applause, and stood in front of Principal Wu.
“Next, Academician Lin Qu, Academician Gao Xiang, and I will present the award to Li Chengqian’s team!” Two academicians stood up at the same time and walked up with smiles on their faces.
BOOM!
A commotion came from the audience.
“Isn’t this a little too high level? Academicians personally presenting Li Chengqian with the award!”
“Prinicipal Wu is also an academician, so all the prize presenters to Li Chengqian’s team this time are academicians.” Someone was dumbfounded.
“In the past, it was Dean Chen from the Information School who presented the award to the champion team… This standard is too different.”
“Academician personally presenting the award. He could brag about this for the rest of his life.”
“Only Li Chengqian’s team is receiving the award from higher-level prize presenters, but the other teams aren’t…” The one giving the awards to the others was still the same as the previous years, which was the professor from the Information School.
“Li Chengqian’s achievements are beyond many academicians’. He deserves this honor.” In fact, many people admired Li Chengqian from the bottom of their hearts.
Domestic operating system! From the core to the desktop, it was all domestically produced!
Moreover, the system was more useful than Windows, Apple, and Linux!
Li Chengqian had done what the entire country wanted to do but failed to do.
Just based on this point alone, it was very reasonable for Li Chengqian to receive all the glory.
Many people were extremely envious when they saw this scene. A single award ceremony had surpassed 99.99% of the people. This was a height that most people would never be able to reach in their lives.
It was awesome!
Divine Dragon University placed too much importance on Li Chengqian.
“Congratulations, Li Chengqian! I hope you can continue to work hard in the software field and achieve greater achievements.” Academician Lin Qu smiled and handed the certificate to Li Chengqian.
“Congratulations, Li Chengqian! Stay grounded, stay humble. Keep up the good work.” Academician Lin Qu turned and said this to Li Chengqian after he handed Ding Ling’s certificate to her.
“Li Chengqian, stay humble! Stay true to your cause! We are proud of your achievements! But in my opinion, this is only the tip of the iceberg, you are capable of a lot more. You will definitely be able to achieve greater achievements.” Principal Wu recalled what Li Chengqian had said at the school gate and advised him.
He was worried that Li Chengqian would become arrogant.
Once a person became arrogant, they would stagnate.
At that time, Li Chengqian said that the Divine Dragon System would soon become widespread throughout the world, and everyone would come to the Divine Dragon Country to study.
These words were indeed too arrogant.
After he returned, he asked the people from the Information School to check the data.
With the free personal version of the Divine Dragon System, the number of installations had only reached about 10 million. However, Windows had 1.2 billion installations!
This was a huge difference of 120 times.
Ding Ling and Zhao Peng held the certificate in front of them with smiles on their faces. Zhao Peng, in particular, was smiling so hard that his eyes couldn’t be seen.
It felt so good to win without doing anything.
After the award ceremony ended, Principal Wu continued his work as the host.
“Next is the last two segments of this Junior Informatics Programming Competition…”
“The champion’s speech, and… the Q&A segment!”
“I know that many people specially came to attend this award ceremony because of Li Chengqian.” Principal Wu glanced at the reporters below the stage. There were at least 20 international media outlets present.
“However, I still have to take up the last bit of time to say a few words to Li Chengqian, in the name of Divine Dragon University.”
“Li Chengqian, you have brought fame to the Junior Informatics Programming Competition because of your participation. Your name will be written in the history of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition!”
“The world will cheer you on. There will be exciting times ahead! Please stay true to your cause. My generation will watch you transform the software industry and the world.”
“The world belongs to you young people! Work hard and you can change everything! You can have anything you want! In the end, you will stand at the top of the world, together with the Divine Dragon Country!” Principal Wu said as he swept his eyes across the audience, at the contestants and the students of the Divine Dragon University.
After Principal Wu finished speaking, a round of warm and enthusiastic applause came from the audience in the auditorium.
He raised his hand to gesture, then continued, “I’ll now hand the stage over to Li Chengqian… I know that everyone wants to hear him speak and ask him questions.”
“I believe that he will give everyone a surprise!”
