Chapter 88: Traces

Yu Wan wanted to cry. She knew that A3 was a computer science genius, but she could not reach the same level as A3.

Yu Wan knew that A3 was a person who did not like to be refuted. She could only say carefully, “I’m very sorry. I looked into the Level 2 Computer Science Certification exam. If I want to get the certificate, I need a few months of study time. In these few months, Yu Yao might do something else. I think wasting time on getting a Level 2 Computer Science Certification is not very cost-effective…”

After Yu Wan finished speaking, she did not hear A3’s reply for a long time. She felt more and more nervous, afraid that her refusal would make A3 unhappy.

During the few minutes of A3’s silence, Yu Wan’s heart was in a mess. Because of her fear, her forehead even broke out in a cold sweat.

However, A3 did not blame Yu Wan, even though his mechanical voice was still filled with coldness.

“I just checked. Your country’s exams have a fixed date. If you want to get a Level 2 Computer Science certification, you indeed have to wait a few months, but I can’t wait that long. I want you to think of a way to continue probing Yu Yao. I have to find out what level her computer skills have reached!”

When Yu Wan heard the first half of the speech, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, the more she listened, the more nervous she became. There was even a hint of fear in her voice as she cried, “But, but I don’t know anything about computer programming. How can I test Yu Yao’s level?”

As expected, A3 became impatient. “You useless fool! Why can’t even do such a simple thing? I really don’t understand why you were able to pass the organization’s test back then!”

A3 seemed to be very irritable. He cursed for a long time before finally giving her a plan.

“Yu Wan, I’ll let you be the middleman between me and Yu Yao. I’ll ask questions, and you can transfer them to Yu Yao to test her computer skills. I don’t need you to master computer skills, but I need you to memorize every word I tell you. You can’t show any flaws in front of Yu Yao, got it?”

Yu Wan nodded timidly and said slowly, “I understand.”

During the second recording of the variety show, Yu Wan shamelessly exchanged contact details with Yu Yao.

However, ever since then, Yu Wan’s name had been quietly lying on Yu Yao’s contact list and had never shown her presence. Yu Yao felt that it would be quite good if the two of them could continue to maintain a distance from each other. However, Yu Wan contacted her very quickly.

Although she was contacting her via WeChat, Yu Wan remained very polite to Yu Yao.

She first sent a few greeting emoticons before getting to the point.

“Sister Yu Yao, after we returned from recording the show that day, I started learning computer programming based on the courses you recommended to me. I’m quite accomplished now, but I have some questions I want to ask you. I hope you can answer them.”

Yu Wan did not wait for Yu Yao’s reply, sending all of her questions over directly.

Yu Yao did not think that Yu Wan, someone who had just started learning programming, could raise any constructive questions. She initially did not want to care, but after taking a glance at the questions that were almost filling up the entire phone screen, Yu Yao could not take her eyes off the phone.

Actually, the threshold for computer programming was not high. In the real world that Yu Yao had been in her previous life, there were many professional computer training classes. After a period of intensive training, many specialists, even high school students who had never gone to university, could obtain good programming skills and thus find a programmer job. However, to walk further down this path, one needed talent.

Yu Yao carefully examined the questions Yu Wan sent to her. She could tell that the person who came up with the questions had tried their best to match the standard of a beginner, but certain details still revealed that the questioner had an extraordinary programming talent.

Could it be that Yu Wan actually had talent comparable to hers? This was Yu Yao’s first reaction. However, she quickly shook her head and threw this thought out of her mind.

Yu Wan did not look too smart, and her logical skills were also worrying. She was definitely not a genius!

Then who raised these questions? This was debatable…

Yu Yao’s fingers gently scrolled through the screen as she looked at her chat window with Yu Wan thoughtfully.

After a while, Yu Yao made up her mind. No matter who the person who raised this question was, no matter if he had any relationship with that organization, since she had already found some clues, she would continue to investigate. Perhaps in the end, she would obtain an unexpected harvest?

Yu Yao quickly typed a few lines and succinctly listed out the technical points, sending it over to Yu Wan.
