Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 110 Return the wish
Facts have proved that it is better to be young. Even if you reach the "physical limit" recognized by the system, your recovery ability will be faster than that of a person in his thirties.

And there was no terrifying thing like rhabdomyolysis. He was really afraid that "oolong tea" would come out when he went to the toilet, so he observed it carefully several times.

By the afternoon, he had basically recovered his ability to move, thanks in large part to Lu Wei's caressing of his calves.

The technique is unfamiliar, but the mental nitrogen pump effect is very strong.

Looking at the time, it was only three o'clock, so Zhai Da decided to buy the computer as planned. Whether it was the summer vacation or when he entered university, a laptop was a necessity.

Without a computer, I can’t even receive a torrent.

Shabak Internet Cafe has entered its peak season with the end of the college entrance examination.

The students, who had been holding back for half a year, rushed into the Internet cafes like hungry wolves, determined to play themselves to death in the Internet cafes.

Some of the big guys who came in as soon as the last exam of the college entrance examination was over have never gone out until now. They survive on Coke and barbecue and are addicted to games.

Not enough fun, not enough fun at all.
Behind the bar, Brother Hai was watching a movie as usual. As a man who had been a network administrator for almost ten years, games could no longer attract him, and watching movies became his most common way to relax.

After watching "Iron Man" last time, he suddenly became interested in the "Marvel system" and watched many old works.

Such as "Batman", "Superman" and "Watchmen". Thunder kept "ding ding ding" every day, downloading countless high-definition resources.

A hand knocked on the bar, and Brother Hai looked up and saw that it was Zhai Da, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

He took off his headphones with a smile: "Finally you're online? I thought you failed the test and were locked up at home."

Zhai Da smiled and said, "That doesn't exist. I just stopped playing games. I'm here to look for someone today."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for you."

Zhai Da pushed a large flat box in front of him.

Brother Hai picked it up and looked at it in confusion. It was a mechanical keyboard from a well-known peripheral brand on the market.

Zhai Da bought this when he was buying a computer. It cost 330 yuan. It is a basic model among big brands, but it is also good in a small county.

Brother Hai was surprised and asked, "What do you mean? Give it to me?"

Zhai Da smiled and said, "I promised you that I would come to fulfill my wish. I thought that instead of giving you 300 yuan for free and letting the Internet cafe owner make money, it would be better to just give you a gift."

He didn't know what Brother Hai liked, but a computer peripheral couldn't go wrong.

Brother Hai was stunned for a while, and then he was furious: "You are such a smart kid, you don't even have a job, and you still gave me a gift."

Having said that, the happy look in the eyes when the hand touched the box could not be faked.

Not because of receiving a keyboard.
Rather, it is the "agreement" and "fulfillment of the agreement" that naturally excite men. This is an instinct that has been engraved in men's genes since primitive society when they worked together to organize hunting.

When Zhai Da told him that the table and chair he used for the first exam seemed to be his old seat, Hai Ge's eyes became more complicated.

"No. 3 Middle School is still so poor that the desks and chairs haven't been replaced for so many years?"

Zhai Da said: "That's good. In the math class, I felt like the tables and chairs were from the 1980s."

Brother Hai finally accepted Zhai Da's gift.

He immediately wanted to open a computer for Zhai Da as a goodwill gesture, but when he saw Zhai Da raising the box of the new laptop in his hand, he could only shake his head and give up.

As a network administrator, the only little convenience that Zhai Da can provide seems to be of no use in the future.

Even with the end of the college entrance examination, Zhai Da also has his own computer, and he probably won't need to go to the Internet cafe anymore. Thinking of this, Brother Hai felt a little sad.

But this guy is really bad at choosing computers. Isn't this model a pure rip-off?
I'd better not tell him, for fear that he won't be able to accept it.
Zhai Da carried his new computer, waved goodbye to Brother Hai, and pushed open the glass door of the Internet cafe.

Before closing the door, Brother Hai suddenly shouted, "Did anyone in the examination room get any of my luck?"

Without any pause, Zhai Da answered confidently: "Of course! Very smart, ideas flow like a spring!"

"That's good. I told you I was also a top student back then!"

Brother Hai looked at Zhai Da's leaving back, subconsciously lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

The smoke slowly dissipated.

In this Internet cafe where the air is turbid all year round and there is no distinction between day and night, the smoke dissipates more slowly than outside.

Did he really carve the words back then? In fact, he couldn't remember.

When I recall my school days now, it seems that except for the milk poured on my head that day, everything else has faded.

Until the melancholy was interrupted by a scream.

"Fuck, I'm offline! Network Admin! Why is it so slow? Who's downloading something?!"

"Network manager! Network manager! I'm the only one on our team!"

Hai glanced at the "Thunder" logo on the upper right corner of his screen, which was showing a progress bar. An 18GB high-definition movie was almost finished downloading. He held a cigarette in his mouth, frowned, and showed the muscle lines of his arms:

"Don't yell at me, the network is unstable with so many people around! It will be fine in a moment!"

When Zhai Da returned home, Yu Xiaoli, who had just finished a day's work, had already returned. She didn't have to cook today and was watching TV leisurely.

Because dinner has already been arranged.

Yesterday's leftovers.

By the way, this is also what Zhai Da and Lu Wei had for lunch.

Ms. Yu was still as powerful as ever. With just a slight move, she made the two of them experience the feeling of "New Year".

After the meal, Zhai Da showed his mother the new computer he bought today. Ms. Yu didn’t understand what he said, but when she heard that it cost 7000 yuan, her hands were obviously much more relaxed.

Start with gentle handling.

"It's so expensive, how about I cut a cover for you?"

"What?"

"Just like a TV, cover it when you're not using it to keep it from getting dusty."

Zhai Da opened his mouth and gave his mother a thumbs up: "You know computers, but you don't need it. People gave me a computer bag as a gift."

This "HP 520" is priced at over 6000 yuan, and with some accessories it's about 7000 yuan.

In the current market, it is actually a low-end and mid-range laptop, and the top-end one can sell for nearly 200 yuan, such as the "IBM" ~ "ThinkPad X" that the shopping guides strongly recommend.

However, Zhai Da does not need an expensive laptop to show off or play games. Being able to access the Internet can meet most of his needs.

A bigger part of the reason is that I don't like the current laptops. Most of them are thick, heavy, and very expensive. There is no need to be a sucker. This is a period of rapid hardware upgrades. No matter how expensive the equipment is, it will be outdated in half a year.

He casually mentioned the matter of installing broadband, and the business office said they would come to his house within three working days. Zhai Da then got up and returned to his room as he still had "work to do" that day.

The [eternal light bulb] above his head was still dim. This equipment, whose effect was not easy to perceive, had become the background board of Zhai Da's room.

The desk still retains its previous appearance, with 60% of it filled with Zhai Da's things and 40% filled with Lu Wei's things.

The only difference from before the exam was that Lu Wei was no longer in the "small prison".

After the college entrance examination, the scene of huddling together to study every day has lost its necessity.

Zhai Da sat back at the desk, put the tutorial books that would not be used in the short term into the cabinet, took out a new notebook, and began to fill the [Literary Girl's Pen] with ink.

With the end of the college entrance examination, according to the agreement with Lu Siwen, the "ownership" of this pen quietly changed. It now completely belongs to Zhai Da, and the word "(temporarily)" no longer appears in the equipment list.

Judging from the silent changes in the system, can we conclude that Lu Siwen did very well in the exam?
The two have been communicating non-stop these past few days, but only through text messages. The atmosphere in the Lu family is a bit subtle now, and Lu Siwen needs to wait for the results to be announced, or at least the estimated scores to come out, before he can have a serious talk with his family.

Zhai Da's main task in the next few days was to write the second half of "The Long Journey" as soon as possible and hand it over to Phoenix Group as agreed, so that it would be put on the market before the end of June.

Editor-in-Chief Lou En said that everything will be given priority.

Just as I was about to pick up the pen to write, "Miss Wall" suddenly spoke.

"Zhai Da?"

"Ok?"

In the next room, Lu Wei was sitting on her little bed:
"Can I come over to your place?"

Lu Wei added carefully: "I just sit and read a book. I don't talk or make any noise."

She originally wanted to follow Zhai Da in, just like usual, but would it be impolite to enter Zhai Da's room so casually after the college entrance examination was over?
So she decided to apply for it and come over only after getting permission.

On the other side of the wall, Zhai Da smiled and said, "Come on, I am a little uncomfortable without you."

Lu Wei moved quickly and arrived at the room in less than half a minute. She took her "Olympic Mathematics Series" and quietly squatted back in her little prison.

There is the wall on one side and Zhai Da on the other, so she feels at ease.

Especially when I saw that my books had not been put away, my sense of belonging to this little world became even stronger.

She didn't really want to read, she just wanted to get back here.

Zhai Da sniffed his nose: "Did you wipe the things?"

He was very sure that Lu Wei didn't usually have this smell on her body, after all, she smelled it every day.

Lu Wei whispered, "Teacher Yu gave it to me. Doesn't Dabao like it?"

"pretty good."

How come Dabao is not considered a beautiful lady?

How does the advertising slogan go: If she is fine, I am fine too?
Give a gift to Dabao?
