Exactly a week after the surgery, Lisa started to take her first few steps.Peter took her to the hospital for physical therapy and sent her back home. He had an evening class that day so after spending the whole day with Lisa, he drove his motorbike to the university."Look, it's the programming genius who can't afford a girlfriend." Someone called loudly as Peter was walking down the hallway.Peter heard a rumble of laughter behind him but he ignored it."What do you mean programming genius, all he did was just draw a heart with code? In the real world what is drawing a heart? The real genius is someone who can design a perfect web page for one of the biggest companies in the city, Zane is obviously the programming genius among them.""Haha, you're right. If I were him I wouldn't dare show my face to the competition after seeing Zane's amazing website." When Peter walked into the class, everyone was already there.The lecturer's eyes lit up expectantly as Peter walked in while Zan
"Haha, let's see the trash he's going to present.""Don't be so mean, he worked hard on this project. He even spent his precious thirty minutes to create this." Another said sarcastically."Yes, yes, let's see the so called master piece he came up with in thirty minutes."Regardless of their jabbing words, Peter picked up his laptop and headed to the podium at the front of the class. Zane who had just finished his presentation stood at the side confidently.He was waiting for the perfect chance to mock Peter in front of the class even more.Katie watched Peter anxiously.She had been sitting beside him watching him type on his laptop, but she hadn't understood a single format of the codes he was typing.She knew Peter's coding style was different, but this time when the project wasn't just some simple assignment to create a heart, she couldn't help but genuinely doubt if Peter knew what he was doing.Peter took a while trying to connect his laptop to the class projector, Zane took th
All the students saw was a small icon, most of them were carried away laughing and throwing ridiculing comments that they didn't notice the icon they were laughing at was actually an app until Peter started speaking."Most companies pay millions for a perfectly designed website as they're concerned about their customers satisfaction." Peter began in a composed and confident voice."Till this day, companies have been marketing their websites fervently. A company like S.M groups is one of the best in Landville, internationally technology has advanced that the usage of websites have dropped. Hence instead of a website, I've designed an app."Everyone's eyes finally showed understanding."So that icon is actually an app?""That's such a smart move. Apps are mostly used more than websites these days." Someone commented in awe.Zane's face turned red in anger.An app?How could this loser have the skills to design an app?"Che! S.M groups buyers are rich people who mostly make their purchas
Hearing Zane's exclamation, everyone leaned forward to see more.Zane turned to Peter excitedly."Look at this, you claimed you added a seamless feature, yet the purchase icon doesn't work properly. The main purpose of this app is to be able to buy easily, if customers can't even make a seamless purchase on the app, isn't it better they just go use the website instead?""Wait, everything about the app is fine but you can't use the purchase button? Then what's the point of the app at all?""S.M groups won't even look at the app if customers can't make a purchase. I was almost thinking this Peter was a genius, turns out he just wants to show off that he can make an app.""What's so great about making an app if it's plain rubbish? Che, what a waste of time.""Zane's website might not have a search engine, but at least customers can enjoy a seamless purchasing feature." "Crox, your app is a wonderful idea. If it were at it's best then I'm certain S.M groups would love it, but without a p
The general manager walked himself into the class staring at the screen in fascination."Is this really an app?" The man asked immediately he walked into the class.Everyone looked up at the professionally dressed men who'd entered the class."Who is that man?""To be escorted by the university head of staff, he must be a very important figure right?"The lecturer seeing the set of important people walk into the class went over to greet them."It's an honor to have you all here. My students were just presenting their projects for tomorrow's competition.""Is that so?" The general manager asked. "Young man, can you please pitch your presentation for us?" Peter nodded."This is the S.M store app, as you can see all the most bought products are shown at the top in categories so it would be easier for customers to browse through a specific variety in what they plan to purchase. With an optimized search engine that'll cater to a customer's search algorithm. From my research I found that S
"Have you heard? The inter-school programming competition has been cancelled?""Cancelled? But why?""S.M groups no longer saw the need for the competition anymore when they have discovered a genius.""A genius? Is there someone that remarkable in this university?""Of course. I heard that while all the contestants were busy creating plain websites, he created a perfect app for the company. It is said that S.M groups stopped using apps because they couldn't find a programmer good enough to make their app perfect, but the general manager of S.M groups himself discovered this genius and named the app nothing but perfection for their company. I even heard S.M groups are willing to pay him millions for the app.""Wow, this so called genius is extremely fortunate. He must be a really cool guy.""Heh cool? His skills are cool but other than his talents, he's got nothing else to show for it.""What are you talking about? Just these genius programming skills are enough for him to live a wonde
"Here he is." The general manager exclaimed as he sighted Peter. "Come take your seat." The man lowered his head immediately he saw Peter.He had heard about one of their students being an impressive genius, he didn't expect that it was this guy he had once kicked out.Peter silently walked into the meeting room and took his seat."Now that the owner of the app is here, we can proceed with our discussion."The CEO of S.M groups was an older looking man.His old eyes scanned Peter with appreciation."Young man, name your price." Everyone of the university staff present looked at Peter proudly.They were all happy that one of their students had led them to such an honorable position in the eye of such huge businessmen."I'd like to leave the app to the school as a donation. All the funds from the sales will be gone to the university."The university head was a middle aged man, hearing what Peter said the man's eyes widened."Are you sure? Even though you entered the competition under
The drive to Lakeview city was two hours long.Peter had used his BMW M3 today and he was dressed in nice looking clothes. Since Peter didn't know how to look for the homeless person his system had tasked him to find, he decided to take help from one of his old classmates who lived in this city."Hello Billy, this is Peter speaking. I'm in Lakeview city, can we meet up?" "Peter?" The guy on the other line seemed to be thinking for a while before he exclaimed, "Wait, are you Peter Crox?" "Yes, it's me." Billy had been Peter's good friend when he used to live in Landville, however Billy's family had to move to Lakeview city so Peter no longer had the chance to connect with him again."What are you doing in Lakeview? Tell me where you are and I'll come pick you up.""I'm just at the borders of the city close to a restaurant called The Grills.""Oh, that's quite far from where I am currently, but I'll get there in thirty minutes.""It's alright, I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for you."
