Chapter 27

“What!” everyone exclaimed.

They had all been so sure Jane would fail, except for Lila.

The outcome was a shock.

Jane had succeeded.

Furthermore, she only used 48 minutes.

“How is it possible?” people wondered.

It was unprecedented.

She had even broken the previous 54–minute record held by Peter Fowler.

She was quicker by six minutes.

People were flabbergasted.

Peter Fowler was a rarely seen genius from the Computer Science Major at the University of Oricle.

All the professors had nothing but praise for his outstanding talent.

Jane had exceeded their expectations.

She had surpassed her brother, Peter.

Not just by a little, either.

“Yeah! Janie, I knew you could do it!” Lila cried.

She ran to Jane excitedly, adoration obvious on her face.

Jane patted Lila’s head adoringly. “For your unwavering faith in me, I had to do it.”

Jane could have fixed lan Henderson’s program in 20 minutes.

She had not done it slowly on purpose.

It had taken longer because she could not use the hacking software she had written herself.

She could only use the school’s software. It was too slow.

That was why she had taken so long.

The news that Jane had completed the challenge in 48 minutes soon spread throughout the University of Oricle.

There were no exceptions.

Larry and Peter got wind of it too.

“Hahaha! Peter, Jane succeeded! She did it in 48 minutes! Six minutes faster than your old record!” Larry exclaimed.

Peter’s hand froze in the middle of writing.

He asked in disbelief, “What… How is that possible?”

“Look! Professor Henderson has just made a post congratulating Jane Fowler. You owe me a month’s lunch,” Larry said.

He knew Peter would not believe him, so he showed Peter his cell phone.

Peter looked at Larry’s Moments. Professor Henderson had indeed just
