I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Chapter 106 Stubborn Psoriasis

Among these "players" in the second-hand market, Jin Chao was the first to raise the selling price of experience vouchers.

It was 10:03 AM when Jin Chao returned to his dorm after selling four trial vouchers. He immediately deleted his post about selling the vouchers for 3.1 yuan.

Because he discovered something: the speed at which he sold trial vouchers was almost not keeping up with the speed at which he collected them.

It's important to know that Jin Chao's initial capital consisted of only 40 trial vouchers. If he continued selling them at this rate, he would soon run out of vouchers to sell.

"Let's stop selling for now and collect more points instead."

Jin Chao thought to himself, but he still opened a new post and continued to sell trial vouchers for 3.5 yuan each.

In the second-hand section, there are currently many trial vouchers for sale for less than 3 yuan. However, perhaps because Yangbei Forum does not have a search function and posts need to be searched one by one, two careless people still contacted Jin Chao, wanting to buy trial vouchers for 3.5 yuan each. One careless person wanted 4 vouchers, and the other wanted 2.

Jin Chao also sold it to them. After returning, he deleted the post about selling it for 3.5 yuan and did not post any more sales ads.

He's now quite confident that the drop in the price of the trial vouchers is only temporary, and he believes they will eventually rebound to 4.

At over 3 yuan, selling any amount would result in a loss, so I'll hold off on selling and hoard coupons first.

As Jin Chao had predicted, around 11 o'clock, the price of the experience vouchers in the second-hand section began to rise, and continued to rise until it broke through 3 yuan and rose to 3.1 yuan.

Based on his own experience, Jin Chao had a rough guess.

"I guess these people are like me, selling and then realizing they don't have much stock left. And since the trial vouchers sell so easily, they just raised the price again."

It's not just that the price of the experience vouchers has increased again.

Jin Chao discovered that in the second-hand section, besides him and Feng Moquan, there was another person who had also started collecting experience vouchers again, currently offering 1.2 yuan per voucher.

Just then, Feng Moquan returned, and Jin Chao reminded him, "Old Feng, other people have started buying coupons too, at 1.2 yuan. Let's change the price to 1.3 yuan as well."

"it is good."

So both of them posted new acquisition offers.

Shen Kang finally got up, stretched, and felt incredibly refreshed.

He was busy every day last week until yesterday, and he hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.

After getting out of bed and washing up, he asked Feng Moquan and Jin Chao about the current market situation of the experience vouchers before going out.

Room 401 in Building B3 is a computer lab where students from Class 1 of the 08 Computer Science program are taking a course called "Fundamentals of Computer Applications".

This lesson covers the basic operations of the XP system, including the power-on and power-off process and safety precautions, recognizing desktop elements such as icons, taskbar, and Start menu, and the basic usage of the mouse and keyboard.

The teacher has finished explaining; now it's time for students to practice.

He Qiuzhu was diligently following the teacher's previous instructions, opening "My Computer," then minimizing, maximizing, switching windows, and closing —

"I really don't know what the point of this kind of class is," Xia Meng said, looking bored. She rested her chin on her hand and tilted her head, seemingly looking out the window out of boredom, but actually she was stealing glances at He Qiuzhu sitting to her right.

I was secretly thinking to myself, my sister is playing online games all day long in the dorm, but now she's doing exactly what the teacher taught her. She's so well-behaved and cute.

Du Nanxin sat to Xia Meng's left. She also thought the course was meaningless and wanted to agree, since everyone knows how to do these things, right? Even if you don't have a computer at home, you learned them in high school.

But when she saw the two boys in the front row carefully and awkwardly operating the mouse, struggling several times before finally double-clicking to open "My Computer," she shut up again, thinking to herself, "So there really are students who seem to have never touched a computer before. No wonder the school offers this course."

Of course, there are those who have never touched a computer before, and those who are incredibly skilled at using computers:

A boy named Du Yu in the row in front of them had opened a document and was typing furiously, making a lot of noise on the keyboard, and his typing speed was indeed extremely fast.

The boy next to Du Yu, who clearly had never used a computer before, looked somewhat envious: "Du Yu, you type so fast!"

Du Yu paused, and said casually, "It's alright, only 82 words per minute, which is about the level of a professional typist."

As he spoke, he glanced at He Qiuzhu and found that she was staring intently at the computer screen, operating it seriously, seemingly not having heard him at all, which made him somewhat disappointed.

"Showing off again. I don't know what's so great about typing fast." Du Nanxin leaned closer and whispered in Xia Meng's ear.

Xia Meng was too lazy to even complain about Du Yu, so she simply kept quiet.

Fu Rong then leaned over and brought up another matter: "By the way, have you heard about the 302 study room?"

Du Nanxin asked, "What is Study Room 302?"

"There's a study room called 302 next to the house and the laundry room. I heard it's really fun—" Fu Rong told her all the information she had heard, but all she said was that they could play a card game called "Three Kingdoms Kill" there. She didn't explain why it was fun or what made it so fun.

After listening, Du Nanxin also seemed a little confused: "So what exactly makes it so fun?"

Fu Rong said, "I don't know. I asked her too, but she just smiled, a very mysterious smile, and told me to go and play by myself and I'll find out."

Du Nanxin also became curious, "So, how much does the 302 study room cost?"

If it's not too expensive, she'd like to go and see what's going on.

"I heard that when you do laundry at Jiahe Laundry, they give out trial vouchers for the 302 Study Room. You can use these vouchers to go play there," Fu Rong said, sharing what she had overheard.

Jiahe Laundry is giving out trial vouchers? Du Nanxin immediately turned to look at He Qiuzhu, who was operating the machine meticulously, and was about to ask her, the boss, if she could get two vouchers.

At this moment, Du Yu, who was in front, turned around and spoke up: "I know a bit about this 302 study room. I went there yesterday. It's said to be a place for playing 'Three Kingdoms Kill,' but it's actually more about socializing. The store will organize games, arranging four boys and four girls at a table, so that everyone can make friends by playing 'Three Kingdoms Kill' together."

At this point, Du Yu raised his head and began to comment: "The owner of this shop is quite clever. The experience was indeed excellent. It's clear he used Granovetter's weak ties theory in running the business. In weak ties theory, casual acquaintances and other weak ties bring more new information and opportunities than strong ties—"

Fu Rong and Du Nanxin looked pained.

Du Yu was the most handsome guy in their class, and they had a pretty good impression of him at the beginning of the semester. But not long after, Du Yu started sticking to He Qiuzhu like a leech, taking every opportunity to show off in front of her. Often it was too deliberate, making people uncomfortable.

After the news broke that He Qiuzhu had a boyfriend, they thought Du Yu would calm down, but unexpectedly, Du Yu only stayed quiet for two days before going back to his old ways.

Du Yu doesn't pursue He Qiuzhu, and he hardly talks to her. He just talks nonsense like he does now, making it seem like he's knowledgeable and awesome. This makes it hard for them to say anything, which is really frustrating.

"Should we tell Shen Kang about this?" Fu Rong whispered to Du Nanxin.

They used to dislike Shen Kang and thought he was not good enough for He Qiuzhu, but after the laundry room incident, they thought Shen Kang was not bad at all.

Fu Rong felt that it was reasonable for Shen Kang, as He Qiuzhu's boyfriend, to handle this matter.

Du Nanxin, however, thought about it more deeply than she did. "How are you going to resolve this by having him come? He's not even pursuing his girlfriend; he's just making up nonsense. Even if he comes, are you suggesting he threaten Du Yu and tell him to stop bothering him? If the two of them don't handle things well, they might even get into a fight."

Fu Rong thought about it and realized that it made sense; if a fight really broke out, Shen Kang would be the one who would suffer.

"So, does that mean I'll just have to keep listening to him buzzing around all the time?" Fu Rong asked in a low voice, sounding helpless.

Du Nanxin thought for a moment, then suddenly a thought struck her. She straightened up and asked He Qiuzhu, "Qiuzhu, is that study room 302 owned by your boyfriend, Shen Kang?"

According to Fu Rong, you need a voucher from Jiahe Laundry Room to enter the 302 study room, and everyone in their dorm knows that Jiahe Laundry Room was funded by He Qiuzhu and opened by Shen Kang. Therefore, the 302 study room is very likely also opened by Shen Kang.

He Qiuzhu, who had been working diligently and meticulously, finally stopped what she was doing, looked over, her eyes sparkling, and thought that Du Nanxin's choice of words was really accurate.

"yes."

He Qiuzhu was present when Shen Kang discussed opening study room 302 with Yang Chonghan that day, so of course she knew about 302.

The study room was opened by Shen Kang.

After receiving He Qiuzhu's answer, Du Nanxin looked at Du Yu with satisfaction, thinking, "You've been talking about that 302 study room for so long, but it turns out that the 302 study room is run by her boyfriend. It's not even on your level. Now you should back down, right?"

Du Yu did pause for a moment, but unexpectedly, he spoke again: "However, there are some problems with that 302 study room. For example, the name is poorly chosen; it's nonsensical and will confuse new customers, making them wonder what the store does. If this problem isn't changed, it will have a significant impact. Actually, it's simple to change; for example, we could call it 'Lime Social Space,' which is both relevant and elegant."
