Chapter 16: Kansaki Ryuu

Till then, Ryuu hadn't recovered from the shock.

As deduced by Nen, he was actually planning to take help from Korea's best programmer by shoving him a lot of money. Though it was expensive, he had to keep his face too. So it was pretty much of a necessary expenditure for him.

But when Xin refused the proposal and said that it was not needed, his titanic of plans drowned in the cold icy sea of the northern hemispheres.

Now he was in trouble. Big enough that he may lose a 100 million USD project.

Observing and spectating all these from the sidelines, Yamamoto was getting curious, so to speed up the show he asked Ryuu to show Xin the block of the program and let him solve any two out of it.

Now that even the chief of the Japanese Self-Defence Forces was asking him to do, so he had no way to escape. He took out a small silver-colored pen drive out of his coat pocket and handed it over to Nen.

Nen inserted the pen drive in the USB port and scanned the USB for any potential viruses. He knew Ryuu was a trickster and he may not want others to see his file or stole it, so he may have set up some traps on it, as security for him.

But nothing of that sort detected, and the USB was notified clean. Nen opened the USB and the file inside it and displayed it on the main screen.

Even before Natasha and Yamamoto could have a complete read of the program consisting of hundreds of lines, Xin just had a glare at them and exclaimed, "That's easy!!"

Listening to his comment not only Ryuu but Yamamoto too got a heart attack. 'Reading and analyzing the logic, then find a solution just within a second!! Just who in the world is this kid?' was the question in everyone's mind.

Xin sat on the comfy chair, placed before the computer, and took out his laptop out of his backpack.

Nen understood what Xin wanted to connect with the supercomputer through his laptop and control the same with it. So even before Xin turned around to ask, Nen went near and typed in the password and id for accessing his self-designed supercomputer.

"Oh, thanks."

And with that, he began to operate on the given block of data. First, he copied all the texts and pasted them in the compiler. Next, he sorted them out into the seven different units using space bar to make it easier for him to operate. And last the final part of debugging and adding extra lines in the programming if required.

But before he did the last step he turned around and stared directly towards Ryuu. Since Xin was giving him an intensive gaze, he had to open his mouth and ask him the reason for his intensive stare.

Xin grinned and asked him to start his smartphone's stopwatch. Ryuu frowned and started his stopwatch as asked by Xin.

Kansaki Ryuu, though he had some tendencies of self-flaunting and narcissism, he was one of the best programmers in his university.

While completing his graduation in America, he was once sent to a company in his third year for doing an internship. There because of a certain dispute, he was challenged by the head programmer of that prestigious multinational company for a showdown.

They were asked to develop a certain program for a small finance company on the spot, before the eyes of hundreds of staff. When the news went viral after some staff live telecasted it on YouTube, hundreds of news reporters flooded the building for broadcasting the showdown.

It took both of them almost the same amount of time to complete the program. Since this time they were working individually instead of a group, both of them took four hours to write the program and another two hours to debug it and to do a final compilation and run.

In total, they took six hours to complete that work, but that was not the end of the challenge. After compiling the program and handing it over to the small financial company, they were asked to use each program for a week and tell them their feedbacks.

And the result was completely unexpected. The head of the programmer had designed a seamless and bug-free program for the company, but in the end, he couldn't win the bet.

Ryuu had also built a seamless and bug-free program, but the extra thing he had added was his innovative ideas. He had added a special feature in that program that would show the user their monthly expenses, and yearly expanse in form of different graphs.

And not only that, but it would also compare their balance, saving, and expenses to the average of thousands of people having accounts in the same company. And this was what made him the victor of that bet.

After getting positive feedback from the small financial company and defeating the head programmer of a multinational company, his name and fame spread like fire overnight. He started to get jobs and internship offers from companies like Microsoft, Apple, Java, but he refused them all. All he wanted was to complete his graduation there and return back to his homeland, Japan.

To sum it up, not only he was a talented programmer, but he also had patriotism for his country. And when Xin asked him to start his stopwatch, it became something like an open challenge to him.

This time he didn't say anything and instead took out his smartphone to
