Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations

61 New Profession, Software Engineer

In the conference room of the Tianbao City Big Data Center Hotel, Dr. He had a smile on his face as he drew out a few key points of the competition.

“Alright, just revise according to the key points I have circled.” Dr. He was wearing casual clothes. He was not tall, about 1.65 meters tall. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, had a big belly, and was bald. His voice was loud and confident.

Bi Jialiang took down everything Dr. He said in his notebook. He was very excited and secretly rejoiced because many of the points that Dr. He highlighted were unexpected and he didn’t revise them.

“Dad, why are you so late today?” He Hongyun asked. They had started at nine in the morning and waited until nine at night before He Jingguo finally showed up.

“The leaders of the Provincial Bureau were especially interested after hearing my report. They asked for a live demo of the Jingguo Data Restoration software.” Speaking of this, He Jingguo’s face was flushed. Although the leaders at the Provincial Bureau didn’t express on the spot that they wanted to purchase the Jingguo Data Restoration software, they appeared very satisfied with it.

After asking He Jingguo to quote the price on the spot, they asked He Jingguo to go again the following Tuesday.

“The demo went well. If nothing goes wrong this year, the entire province’s Public Security Bureau will purchase our company’s software.” He Jingguo was full of smiles and he was in high spirits. He had always maintained his quote of 200,000 yuan per year per county!

There are 89 county-level Public Security Units and 12 municipal-level units in Jinshan Province, totalling 101.

Therefore, his overall quote was 20.2 million yuan!

As long as he could get this contract, he could buy the villa he had taken a fancy to some time ago.

“Previously, I heard from your Teacher Tian that a student called Li Chengqian will also come over? Why don’t I see him?” He Jingguo changed the topic and asked.

“Li Chengqian is on leave. He said that he has something important to do and will only arrive at noon tomorrow.” Bi Jialiang explained what happened at that time.

“Dad, Li Chengqian came in first in the second provincial joint mock exam. He’s so full of himself.” He Hongyun snorted coldly. There was dissatisfaction in his voice. He didn’t hold back and simply spoke his mind.

“I heard from Teacher Tian Wenming that Li Chengqian also scored full marks for the internal programming theory test at Tianyi High School.”

“He’s so full of himself he may not even think you are worth his time.”

“Maybe he didn’t think that it would be useful to attend your class.”

“That’s why he applied for leave.” He Hongyun’s tone was cold.

He Jingguo looked at He Hongyun in surprise. This was the first time he had heard his son speak ill of someone so spitefully.

“If he applied for leave because he had something to attend to, that’s his business. You don’t have to be upset.” He Jingguo comforted him. Although he didn’t show it, he was a little uncomfortable about what Li Chengqian did.

He also took note of Li Chengqian’s name. “If I were to meet him during the competition…”

“Li Chengqian is such an egomaniac, and he has now offended Dr. He, who is also one of the judges of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition.” How could offending the judges be beneficial for him? It was impossible.

“This fellow! I didn’t previously notice this about him, he looked so harmless with his big eyes and he’s usually extremely arrogant and aloof. I didn’t expect him to be so petty as to complain about such minor things. I have to be careful around him.” Bi Jialiang now saw He Hongyun in a new light.

…

When Li Chengqian returned home, Li Tianlan and Chen Li were happily chatting with each other. The anxiety in their eyes had also disappeared.

The 100,000 yuan that they received today gave them confidence in their lives.

Although they still thought about going out to get a job, they aren’t as anxious as before.

Li Chengqian looked at the old couple’s expressions and heaved a sigh of relief. He picked up the noodles that his mother had prepared in advance and ate heartily.

“Son, I feel like I’m dreaming today.” Chen Li was smiling by the side.

“100,000 yuan was transferred to our account at one go.”

“Moreover, everyone at the Municipal Bureau was polite to us. It was Captain Qin and Captain Wang who welcomed us when we got there.”

“When we left, it was Captain Qin who personally walked us out.” At this point, Chen Li and Li Tianlan’s faces were flushed. Just this alone made them feel so proud.

Just this matter alone was enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.

This was the first time the two of them had ever received such treatment.

Chen Li and Li Tianlan knew very well why Captain Qin gave them face. It was because of Li Chengqian.

“Son, you don’t know this, but at the Municipal Bureau, Captain Qin and Captain Wang praised you so much that I felt embarrassed…” Chen Li’s eyes were filled with pride.

Li Tianlan didn’t say anything, but he kept a smile on his face.

Li Chengqian listened quietly to his mother’s chatter with a faint smile on his face.

After he finished his meal, Li Chengqian returned to his room. He was unusually excited.

Why was he working so hard to develop the Divine Dragon Optimization app during this period of time?

It was for the Software Engineer profession.

Now, the development of the Divine Dragon Optimization app had been completed. The prerequisites for becoming a Software Engineer had been met.

Now, he could advance and become a Software Engineer.

With excitement, Li Chengqian muttered in his heart.

“Open the Professions Mall! Become a Software Engineer!”

Immediately, a translucent page appeared in front of him, and lines of words appeared.

[Profession: Software Engineer]

[Job Requirement 1: Attain level 9 for Worker profession (Completed), attain level 9 for Student profession (Completed).]

[Job Requirement 2: Attain master proficiency level for High School Knowledge skill (Completed), attain elementary level Information Technology skill (Completed).]

[Job Requirement 3: 50,000 experience value points required (Completed).]

[Job Requirement 4: Develop a C-grade software singlehandedly (Completed).]

[You have fulfilled the requirements for becoming a Software Engineer. You have consumed 50,000 experience value points. You have successfully entered the Software Engineer profession.]

[You have obtained Profession: Software Engineer level 0 (0/100,000).]

“The experience value points required to level up is too scary.” Although Li Chengqian had expected this, his heart still skipped a beat when he saw the 100,000 experience value points.

In his previous life, in the Master of All Professions game, perhaps it was in order to attract people to play, very few experience value points were required to level up in the three basic professions of Students, Farmers, and Workers.

...

Once he became a Software Engineer, the experience value points required to level up would increase drastically.

This was a game manufacturer’s trick to attract people to play their games. The same trick also often appeared on phones. They use the same tactic to lure you in, and once you are hooked, they will start upping the stakes.

“Upgrade!” Li Chengqian took a look at the Experience Pool and realized that there were still more than 300,000 experience value points left. He chose to upgrade without hesitation, his heart filled with anticipation.

He worked hard to develop the C-grade software because he wanted to quickly obtain the first skill of a Software Engineer.

Mental Coding!

This was a divine skill.

Especially when combined with the Focus and Rational Thinking skills, the effect was magnificent.

With the Mental Coding skill, Li Chengqian was confident that he could single handedly change the world order of the software industry and radically change the software trade.
