My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

Perhaps good things come to those who wait.

I thought the registration was settled.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen received a call from the teacher who had registered him the next day.

The other party regretfully stated that they had just received notification that due to the large number of applicants, the number of places each school could be exempted from the preliminary round had been reduced.

Then, Lin Chen and his group were excluded from the recommended list because of the registration time.

So if Lin Chen and his group want to participate in this competition, they can only register online.

"Sign up! Online registration it is! Another preliminary round is a good opportunity to get our team together!"

Upon hearing the news, Lu Han and his team were not too discouraged and remained full of confidence.

They believed that as long as they stayed close to their godfather Lin Chen, they would at least get a place, if not a championship!

So, from then on, everyone prepared for the competition every day.

This year's Cloud Journey Artificial Intelligence Application Competition shows many similarities to university mathematical modeling competitions in its format.

the only difference.

Mathematical modeling competitions assess a team's ability to simplify a real-world problem into one that can be represented by data and concise language, and then solve that problem using mathematical tools.

The artificial intelligence competition assesses the participating teams' ability to use artificial intelligence technology to solve a practical problem and then apply that technology directly to actual machinery through electrical engineering techniques.

Since this was the first time the event was held, YunTu Company provided many case studies of problems that had occurred in their actual company as reference examples.

Teams that receive school recommendations will be guided and trained by teachers organized and arranged by the school.

Teams that signed up voluntarily, such as Lu Han's group, had to learn on their own.

Fortunately, they have Lin Chen as a powerful backer.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Lin Chen's artificial intelligence has only just met the graduation requirements.

But in reality, through studying the T800's source code during these days, Lin Chen's understanding of artificial intelligence has far exceeded the limits that an undergraduate student can reach.

Under his guidance, Lu Han and his two companions quickly progressed from being able to only talk about things theoretically to being able to actually solve problems.

However, perhaps it's because of Lin Chen's powerful connections.

Lu Han and the other two were not very enthusiastic about doing it themselves.

During training, Lin Chen personally handled most of the tasks.

In other words, all three of them will be involved in the final paper and circuit design.

Soon, it was May.

It's still the People's Commune at the school gate.

To celebrate successfully passing the preliminary round at the end of April, Class 402 came here for a dinner party and also invited Chen Xiaoxiao and her dorm to join them.

While drinking, Lu Han and his two companions boasted to Chen Xiaoxiao and the others about their performance in the preliminary rounds.

"So that's why we've been missing you guys all this time. You've been busy with this competition, huh? If you ask me, most of the credit for this success should go to Lin Chen, right?"

Wang Heming raised his glass and clinked it with Lu Han's, jokingly saying something at the same time.

Lu Han was displeased: "Is everything Lin Chen's doing? We also put in a lot of effort, you know? There's something else I'll tell you that will shock you!"

"Me, Chen Hao, Shi Jun, and I have applied to the school for early graduation! Although it may not be as fast as the eldest brother's, we might graduate in our second year!"

"You blow it!"

Wang Heming didn't believe it at all.

Lin Chen was drinking when Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly nudged his arm.

Turning her head, she saw Chen Xiaoxiao saying mysteriously, "Have you noticed? There seems to be something going on between these two?"

"Who? Lu Han and Wang Heming? That can't be right."

Lin Chen shook his head.

Lu Han and Wang Heming have been in high school for three years and there's been no news about them. How could there be anything going on between them?

But Chen Xiaoxiao said with certainty, "It's true! It seems to have started during the winter vacation. Didn't we leave early during the Spring Festival? Minmin ended up going back to Donghai with Lu Han, and it seems like there were some problems between the two of them after that."

Lin Chen scratched his head, then suddenly slapped his forehead, walked over to Lu Han, and hooked his arm around his neck.

"Fatty Lu, is there something going on between you and Wang Heming?"

"what?"

Lu Han was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "Boss, what are you talking about? How could I possibly have a problem with her?"

Lu Han's expression was one of complete approval, but Lin Chen noticed a small red dot flashing on his face.

He almost couldn't help but laugh, and said with his head down, "Oh, maybe I made a mistake. You guys continue chatting."

Back beside Chen Xiaoxiao, Lin Chen suppressed a laugh and whispered in her ear, "You're right, there really is something going on!"

"Huh? How are you sure?" Chen Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"I……"

Just as Lin Chen was about to explain, Lu Han's phone rang suddenly at the dinner table.

"Who is it? Why are you bothering us at this time!"

Lu Han answered the phone with a look of dissatisfaction, then his expression changed and he suddenly stood up.

His gaze fell on Lin Chen, filled with both anger and resentment.

Those around him noticed his strange expression, and as soon as Lu Han hung up the phone, Chen Hao immediately asked him:

"Fourth brother, what happened?"

"My... my godfather has passed away!"

Everyone was shocked: "What?"

After a while, with Lu Han's explanation, everyone finally understood what had happened.

It turns out that their "godfather and his three adopted sons" had been reported!

"The person who called me just now was from Yuntu. They said someone reported that Lin Chen in our team is no longer a college student and is not qualified to participate in this competition."

"Dude, if you ask me, this is all your fault! Why did you have to brag about it online? Otherwise, how would anyone know you already had your diploma?"

"How did they know Lin Chen was in your team?" Wang Heming asked curiously.

"Are you stupid?" Lu Han blurted out, "The list of teams that passed the preliminary round is published online, it's all written there!"

"Who are you calling stupid?"

Wang Heming's eyes widened, and Lu Han's expression immediately changed. He forced a smile and said, "I'm stupid, I'm stupid..."

He suddenly turned his head, looked at the people around him with a mischievous grin, and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand!"

"No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding!" Lin Chen waved his hand with a mischievous smile.

Chen Xiaoxiao interrupted, "Let's not talk about that now, continue. And then what? You're going to be disqualified?"

Chen Hao and Shi Jun, who were about to tease Lu Han, immediately straightened their posture.

"No, that's not the case. YunTu knows our leader's name, and they would love for him to participate in the competition. It's just that someone has reported him now, and if we don't deal with it, it will easily cause controversy. So they can only ask our leader to withdraw from the team and not participate in the official competition."
