Chapter 178 The First to Submit a Paper

Cason nodded, looked at the secretary behind him, and said, “You get it with him.”

After returning home, Kaitlin anxiously came to Cason.

“Cason, how is it?”

“It’s fine.” Cason went upstairs irritably. He didn’t want to see Kaitlin at all now.

After returning to the room, he frowned wearily.

Kaliyah walked into the study and kneaded his shoulder gently, “What’s the matter,

Cason?”

“Keep an eye on Kaitlin from now on. Don’t let her cause trouble.” Cason’s voice was

***.

Kaliyah nodded, “I will.”

Manuel returned to Seattle, but Irene did not.

She stayed to promote cooperation with Applegath, and more importantly, she stayed to

watch over Ainsley.

Ainsley finished writing the paper on the 20th day and became the first person to submit the paper.

Gwendolyn was very awkward after knowing this.

“Ainsley, you are really amazing. You actually became the first person to submit the

paper.

There was an unwritten rule in the Decker Contest that the paper first submitted would

be supervised by all the mentors.

The mentors of the Decker Contest were all high-level professors from prestigious

universities. It was an honor to be able to receive their guidance.

However, the first one to submit the paper had to meet higher demands. The first paper would be

carefully reviewed by all the judges, who would put it under closer scrutiny

than those submitted later.

Ainsley smiled embarrassedly, “It’s just luck.”

“Don’t be too modest!” Gwendolyn said with a smile.

Gwendolyn took Ainsley to her room and asked her to look at her computer screen, “How do you think

this paper?”

Ainsley looked at the paper, which was in the same direction as the one written by

Gwendolyn.

“Not bad.”

“This paper was written by my student.”

Ainsley was very confused but didn’t say it. Although the committee didn’t restrict their actions a few

days ago, they actually started to prevent cheating from all aspects.

Especially the mailbox was not allowed to accept papers, so how did Gwendolyn receive this paper on

her computer?

A monitoring system had been installed on their computers, and all email exchanges could not escape

the detection of it. Except for the data used in the paper, other documents could not be transmitted.

Ainsley looked at this paper carefully. Its idea was very innovative. She had read a lot of papers on the

impact of online games on teenagers, and most of them held negative views. However, this paper dealt

with the positive roles online games play in the development of adolescents.

“The idea is very good, and it is in a similar direction to the paper you wrote

During the meal, Gwendolyn talked to her about this.

“Your idea is better!” Gwendolyn praised.

Ainsley lowered her head and smiled slightly. Her paper was on the influence of psychological factors on

various criminal behaviors.

She classified all criminal behaviors into categories in terms of psychology and

analyzed them according to criminal psychology.

The data on these crimes were all obtained from major psychological firms with the help

of Matteo and Zane.

The more important innovation was that in addition to classifying these crimes, she wrote a set of

programs in python to measure crime rates and predict crimes.

This was something she had planned to do a long time ago, and she finally took this opportunity to do it.

“Ainsley, I’m really afraid that I won’t be able to advance,” Gwendolyn said worriedly.

“Don’t be afraid, it will be fine.” Besides that, she couldn’t say anything.

Although they were banned from going out, the regulations were not that strict. It was okay to meet and

talk like this.

On the thirty-fifth day when everyone’s paper was submitted, they would gather in the St. Nork

Auditorium, waiting for their results.

Those who ranked in the top 20 could advance to the final defense, while the rest would

be eliminated.

It could be seen that Gwendolyn was very popular among all the contestants, and almost everyone said

hello to her.

Ainsley noticed that Gwendolyn showed the same shyness when she looked toward a man, who was a

foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes.

“That’s Eric. He is a gentleman.” Gwendolyn introduced to Ainsley.

Ainsley noticed that the man was also looking at them.

Everyone was sitting upright, and the group of judges had arrived.

Gwendolyn seemed extremely nervous. She couldn’t sleep well these days because she was thinking

about the grade of her paper.

If she went back without getting the award, she would definitely become at laughingstock. After all,

before she attended the contest, the school had done a lot of publicity for her and given her a bonus.

“Ainsley, I’m so nervous.” Gwendolyn held Ainsley’s hand tightly.

Eric was sitting in the row in front of them, and Ainsley’s eyes were riveted on him since.

he sat down.

Ainsley comforted, “Don’t be afraid. You can definitely advance.”

Those who ranked in the top 20 could advance. While she was still thinking about it, the

judges spoke.

“Until then…”

The staff distributed the transcripts one by one to them. In order not to produce embarrassment, each

contestant only knew his or her own score.

Most of them were disappointed when they saw the transcript at first glance. Only a few

of them smiled triumphantly.

Ainsley took her own transcript. The full marks of this contest were 100, and her score

was 98.

She had heard from Professor Wade and Mollie that most contestants who advanced

got a score of more than 80.

Different from ordinary contests, the scoring standards of the Decker Contest were very high, and the

judges were almost all well-known professors and scholars from famous.

universities.

The members of the research institute had to process and analyze a variety of data every day. They

were conversant with the models established by the contestants and could find any mistakes

immediately.

Ainsley’s model also had problems at the beginning. It had been improved after dozens

of calculations and adjustments.

The people around Ainsley turned their heads and exclaimed, “Ninety-eight points! Oh my

**!”

Everyone looked at Ainsley in amazement. In addition to the score, there was also a ranking on the

transcript. A “No.1” was written on Ainsley’s transcript.

Eric suddenly turned his head and looked at Ainsley with his emerald eyes that exuded a

strange brilliance.

Gwendolyn smiled awkwardly at Ainsley after getting her score and ranking, “Ainsley, I’ll

go to the bathroom first.”

4/5

Walking into a toilet cubicle at random, she sat on the stool and opened the transcript she had just got.

She was a little dazed for a while when she saw 20 on it. She didn’t

even rank in the top ten.

The twentieth place was the last place to advance, and Eric got the second place.

With her level, she was doomed to lose the Decker Contest.
