Chapter 194 The Bold and Powerful
Su Hao stopped what he was doing, turned his head and nodded somewhat blankly.
He has been using his spare time to answer questions for others on GitHub in order to accumulate and verify his programming knowledge. He has been using this ID for a long time. Is there a problem with it?
"Which Ducky?"
"Wait a minute...you mean that 'Ducky'? Really?!"
Upon hearing Cyber Fox's exclamation, Entropy and Root were as if struck by lightning, completely taken aback.
She instantly pounced on Su Hao's side, staring intently at the bright yellow duck icon on the screen.
"My God! Have you forgotten that sensational accident at our school before?!"
It was because of this genius with the ID Ducky that he released an extremely bizarre open-source automated patch.
Because the logic was so ahead of its time, it directly caused our school's highly paid server network administrator to have his faith collapse and his worldview shattered, leading him to resign!
Entropy pointed at the screen, his fingers trembling wildly.
Upon hearing this, Su Hao smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, trying to downplay the matter.
"It's not that exaggerated. I just helped someone fix a bug in the code."
When I see people asking questions on forums, my obsessive-compulsive disorder kicks in, and I can't help but want to answer them.
"That's not what you call helping out, bro!"
Cyber Fox was so excited his face turned bright red, and he almost spat out his saliva.
"The administrator led the entire team to investigate for three days and three nights, making a complete mess of the system, but they still couldn't find the memory leak."
And you, on the other hand, effortlessly used only three lines of code! Just three lines of code!
It completely stopped the system from collapsing!
Do you know how terrifying your actions were?!
Su Hao's face flushed slightly, and he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"That was really just a coincidence... I just happened to see that the baseline condition of that recursive function was written incorrectly, causing a stack overflow and resulting in an infinite loop, so..."
He tried to explain it using basic principles, but to others it sounded like a divine Versailles.
"Stop talking, boss, stop talking."
In today's geek forums, there are even rumors circulating about extreme religious sects:
They claim that this account named Ducky isn't human at all, but a highly intelligent AI that has developed self-awareness!
Entropy looked at Su Hao, swallowed, and added:
"They say you appeared out of nowhere like a comet, and then, with the air of a god looking down on mortals, you frantically helped people fix code for all sorts of difficult questions on the forum!!"
To be honest... even the underlying architecture problem that had stuck me for half a month was solved thanks to your few comments.
Seeing the three top students who were on the verge of mental breakdown, Su Hao could only smile awkwardly and simply stopped talking, turning his attention back to the screen.
Da da da da.
Only coding can alleviate the awkwardness.
His fingers moved with such agility, as if playing Chopin's Rhapsody on black and white piano keys, that it was dazzling.
Lines of exquisitely beautiful and logically rigorous new code flowed wildly down the screen like a waterfall.
The complex algorithm, which was originally built by three geniuses at Spectra Works over countless days and nights and was considered perfect by them, is now being rapidly reconstructed and greatly simplified by Su Hao in a sweeping manner.
Code redundancy is visibly reduced, and execution efficiency is soaring exponentially.
Watching Su Hao perform the superhuman feat of simultaneously undertaking a sweeping reconstruction while also managing to dedicate brainpower to real-time bug fixing, the three people behind him were completely impressed.
They exchanged a glance and silently clicked their tongues in amazement.
"Looking at his screen, I feel like all the books I've read over the past ten years have gone to waste... It's so embarrassing."
Cyber Fox sighed, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"Let's stop being so sour, this guy is a monster."
Root patted Cyber Fox on the shoulder with a wry smile.
"Top mathematicians, if they just slightly cross over into a different field and master a coding language, are destined to become top programmers who can dominate the coding world."
Entropy added, still shaken:
"Now I only pray that this ancestor will, please, please don't ever get involved in systems engineering again on a whim..."
Otherwise, in less than three months, everyone in Silicon Valley would be lining up to jump off buildings, and he would destroy all the jobs in our industry!
After two hours of frantic, high-intensity coding, Su Hao finally stopped.
During a break, Su Hao picked up his cup and took a sip of water.
He usually spends some time at this time browsing the MIT internal developer forum, as a way to relax his brain which is under high pressure.
Now, on the internal forum, next to his ID "Ducky," a shiny blue certification mark representing "core personnel within the school" has been added by the school's backend at some point.
The forum's homepage had already been in complete chaos because of the appearance of this blue V!
A very eye-catching pinned post was instantly pushed to the top of the trending list:
[Come and pay homage! The system just showed that the legendary Ducky was here!]
The comments below were refreshing like a waterfall:
Holy crap! Is he even human? This god-level player leaves no bugs in his wake!
The code is so clean it looks like it's been splattered with nuclear weapons; even the punctuation exudes a rigorous sexiness!
[Hahaha, case solved! Look at that blue V, it turns out to be our school's hidden big shot! Proud face!]
[Nonsense! How could those mediocre students from other universities possibly write such a terrifyingly sophisticated algorithm, such an artistic code architecture? Hmph, MIT is the best!]
[Holy crap, does anyone know who can find out his real identity? I'm willing to pay a hefty sum to recruit him to our team! Name your price!]
[Hey upstairs, stop dreaming! You need to figure out who this deity is first! Didn't you guys notice?]
Aside from occasionally answering extremely difficult coding questions, Ducky never replies to anyone's private messages; he's incredibly aloof!
That's true. I heard that last month, even the giants in Silicon Valley tried to get closer to him.
I sent out hundreds of private messages offering high salaries to poach talent, but they were all ignored as spam by the expert. So cool!
Seeing these posts, Su Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I'm not as mysterious as they say. The reason I don't reply to private messages is simply because...
I'm usually too busy to watch it!
Just as Su Hao was about to close the webpage.
Gurgle.
The sound of someone swallowing hard stood out starkly in the otherwise quiet room filled only with the clatter of keyboards.
Su Hao turned his head in confusion, only to see that Cyber Fox had stood up straight at some point and was looking at him with a serious expression.
His previously casual expression vanished completely, replaced by an unprecedented sense of awe as he cautiously asked:
"Su Hao...excuse me...do you need more shares?"
Even if I had to give up another 20%, no, 30%! I would still completely agree!
