I am weak and friendly

Chapter 54 It's time to buy Master Tang a 5090.

After saying goodbye to the policeman and his apprentice, Tang Yiping returned to the outside of the alley.

Although the suit-clad, elite-looking man's immediate reaction of running away surprised Tang Yiping, preventing him from successfully stabbing the man, Tang Yiping was still gratified that the police officer had caught the clue he discovered and successfully identified the man.

This means that the other party's next actions will be under the police officer's surveillance.

Unfortunately, due to his position, the police officer refused to share information with him, leaving him somewhat frustrated.

Sure enough, I still need to find an opportunity to stab that guy a few times, right? Tang Yiping pondered.

I'll come here to stroll around whenever I have free time; maybe I can even catch that guy in the act.

Or, what if someone else comes out from inside?

Tang Yiping made the decision happily, suddenly feeling a sense of exhilaration, like "defending the respawn point".

Before that, why not focus on completing your job change quest? Maybe your [Stab-in-the-Knife Technique] will become incredibly powerful?
With a "whoosh," she inserted herself into him and tremblingly marked him.

Then Tang Yiping realized that he had been overthinking things.

You should learn more programming skills, improve your terrible code, and benefit more people like Tongtong.

By the way, build a big house for my [Stacking Insects].

If you have time, check on Lola and Lux's skill learning progress.

Of course, most importantly, take good care of your health, earn enough money for your medical treatment, do your rehabilitation well, and...

Buy a 5090 for Master Tang.

Besides that, Tang Yiping thought about it carefully.

As someone sitting in a wheelchair, I can't do much more.

Forget it, I'll just go to the university to get my things.

Tang Yiping turned and drove towards the subway station.

Just as Tang Yiping left, a car reversed back from a short distance away.

“Master, I knew this guy wouldn’t be satisfied!” Zhao Xinyi said. “He’s so curious, what if he gets into danger… Should we tell him something… uh…”

Zhao Xinyi shut up after being glared at by Li Tieqiang.

"I... I'll think about it." Li Tieqiang hesitated. He was really worried that Tang Yiping would take risks on his own, but it was definitely not appropriate to report the situation to Tang Yiping in the midst of an investigation.

Moreover, the other party's identity is very special.

The middle-aged man Tang Yiping met was named Lin Duo. He owned a high-end private equity investment company, holding billions of yuan in funds and manipulating tens of billions of yuan in funds. Many star companies in Hailing City had shares in him, but he was usually low-key and only operated in a small circle, almost never participating in any public business activities.

This identity, once linked to the "yellow-haired guy" incident, is honestly quite suspicious.

Once you connect the dots, all sorts of possibilities emerge.

But if Tang Yiping hadn't helped them connect this person with the Huang Mao incident, they would never have suspected him.

But why would someone who should have no connection with Tang Yiping be so terrified of him like a dog upon seeing him?
That's backwards.

"Have your colleagues keep an eye on this area, make sure he doesn't actually go and take the risk." Li Tieqiang finally decided to investigate further before making any decisions.

“If only he could be that obedient,” Zhao Xinyi said. “That’s a congenital criminal investigation physique, Master. Have you considered what might happen if he finds the clues before us…”

That would be so embarrassing!
Li Tieqiang sighed, then sighed again.

Then he looked again at the ruins after the demolition. He had actually searched the area carefully, but there was nothing there.

Why is Tang Yiping so concerned about these ruins, and why would someone like Lin Duo appear here?

Is there anything else that he hasn't discovered?
Li Tieqiang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, so he opened the cup and took a sip of the iced milk tea.

Indeed, in a car where the air conditioning isn't working very well, it's much more comfortable to drink something cold.

……

After getting off at the subway station and boarding the train, Tang Yiping opened the "People Nearby" feature again. As the subway moved along, the map also moved rapidly.

No.

Nothing.

No green dot representing the user appeared.

The Tianshu Software Park in the development zone where he interned was located in the east of Hailing City, while the dormitory he stayed in was in the westernmost university town, a distance of more than 40 kilometers.

Based on Tang Yiping's "People Nearby" radius of three kilometers, Tang Yiping would have to traverse 120 square kilometers of land along the way. The entire Hailing City is approximately 1200 square kilometers, and Tang Yiping could search for about one-tenth of it in one go.

This shows that the number of users of the "Survival Guide for the Weak" is smaller than he imagined.

He was looking at the "People Nearby" feature while riding the subway when his phone suddenly rang.

Several notifications of successful remittances revealed that the reward fund for the act of bravery had arrived in my account.

"Huh? So fast?" People who win prizes often know that all these kinds of awards are just staged photos of both parties holding up a sign that says how much money is involved, and the actual accounting requires complicated procedures.

Why so fast this time?
Tang Yiping suddenly found an extra 20,000 yuan in his account.

Adding the cash he'd picked up in the last two days, Tang Yiping suddenly realized that it was enough!

That's enough for my next injection, or to buy Master Tang a 5090!
Which one should I choose?

Tang Yiping hesitated for only a few seconds before deciding to give Master Tang 5090!

There's still time for my injection; if I work hard, I should be able to scrape together enough money. But I can't wait to make Master Tang happy.

At worst, we can confiscate Master Tang's 3090 fund; that's 4500 yuan, enough for me to pick up money for a night or two.

While imagining how happy Master Tang would be when he received the 5090, Tang Yiping happily opened the shopping website and prepared to place an order.

Then he became unhappy.

The current 5090 is either available through pre-order or a flash sale, with thousands vying for one unit, and you have to wait a week to actually buy it.

It's like putting a monkey show on you.

They either raise prices in various ways or don't promise immediate delivery; they're all futures contracts.

Left with no other option, Tang Yiping opened the forum and posted a thread.

"Seeking help from all the experts, are there any reliable channels to purchase 5090 chips?"

Tang Yiping posted the thread, and after refreshing the page, a string of replies had already appeared below:
"I bow down to the master!"

"The boss is here!"

"This is the first time I've been this close to a big shot!"

"Let's take a group photo!"

"XY!"

Tang Yiping was both amused and exasperated.

Every time Tang Yiping saw the densely packed "stacked insects" in his code, he felt that everyone's calling him a "big shot" was incredibly ironic.

I'm a born bug-like, divine body! Don't call me a big shot!
If you have the [Stacking Insect], you can do it too!

However, among all these boring replies, there were also a few useful ones, recommending purchasing channels to Tang Yiping and sharing their successful methods, etc.

But in conclusion, Tang Yiping still managed to summarize a pattern.

Either raise the price, or grab it, or raise the price and grab it.

Why is it so hard to bring Master Tang some joy?

Just as Tang Yiping was feeling disappointed, someone replied below: "Does the big shot need the 5090 for AI training and fine-tuning? I brought one back from abroad a while ago, but I recently got something else, so I don't need this 5090 anymore. I only opened it briefly at customs, so it's basically brand new. Could you give me an address?"
