I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

When Chen Shi entered the dormitory management station, Shen Kang was still there and hadn't left yet.

Shen Kang was about to leave after the two senior students loudly recited the dormitory management regulations, but Aunt Qin said their computer was a bit slow and asked Shen Kang if he knew how to fix it.

So Shen Kang took it upon himself to go in and fix Sister Qin's computer.

The computer was a desktop provided by the school. As Shen Kang pressed a key on the keyboard to wake it up, he casually asked, "Sister Qin, how long has it been since you turned this computer off?"

What does "turn off the phone" mean?

"..."

After waking up the computer, Shen Kang operated it for a while and was amazed – this is a computer? If you didn't tell him, he would have thought it was the Divine Wood King Cauldron!

All sorts of random junk programs were installed on it, and a bunch of portable programs were also bound to the startup list. Even the most notorious female college student computer that Shen Kang had ever seen was "clean and tidy" compared to this.

It's no wonder this computer lags. It's a miracle it's usable most of the time; Shen Kang can't stand it after just a short while.

"No, Sister Qin, do you guys use this card normally? What do you use it for?" Shen Kang couldn't help but ask.

Sister Qin said that they usually use this computer to play cards on Lianzhong (a Chinese online card game platform). Of course, Sister Qin and her friends don't even know how to turn the computer off. A student installed Lianzhong for them and registered their accounts. It logs in automatically, and all they have to do is click the icon and start playing cards. It's a very simple operation.

The fact that this card can still be used shows that the older generation's tolerance is stronger than we imagined.

Shen Kang thought to himself silently, and then began to clean up Sister Qin's computer with great effort.

While Shen Kang was cleaning up the computer, Sister Qin was also busy. She brought over some oranges, peeled them, fed them to Xiao Shen, and chatted with Shen Kang while standing aside.

After taking out the electric toothbrush and pressing the button, she noticed how strong the vibration was and casually asked Shen Kang if it might damage her teeth. Shen Kang assured her it wouldn't, explaining that the strong vibration was precisely designed to clean her teeth thoroughly and remove food particles from between them. Aunt Qin said she brushed her teeth every day and there was nothing stuck between them. Shen Kang retorted that she hadn't experienced the vibration firsthand; anyone who tried it would know. Then the two of them began arguing about whether or not there was anything stuck between their teeth.

Shen Kang wasn't impatient. He knew that Aunt Qin wasn't really concerned about whether there was anything stuck in her teeth; she was just bored sitting here alone every day and wanted to talk to someone.

So, while cleaning the computer, Shen Kang chatted with Aunt Qin. After cleaning, he restarted the computer and taught Aunt Qin what it meant to shut down, restart, and turn on the computer. He also told her that it was best to turn off the computer when not in use.

After finishing all this, Shen Kang finally said goodbye, carrying the cardboard box out, ready to go back to his dormitory.

Just then, he saw a boy come back from outside, carrying a flat cardboard box in his arms.

This caught Shen Kang's attention.

He recognized it immediately; the cardboard box belonged to Huanhuan.com, marked with an "l". Judging from the size of the box and the current stock on Huanhuan.com, it should be a laptop.

After glancing at the box, Shen Kang's gaze shifted to the person carrying it. He then stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave the dormitory and walked towards the boy.

"classmate,"

Shen Kang, carrying the box containing the electric toothbrush, walked up to the boy with a beaming smile, gesturing with his chin towards the Huanhuan.com box in the boy's hand, "Did you buy this from Huanhuan.com?"

The boy carrying the cardboard box containing the "Huanhuanwang" netting entered the dormitory management station was none other than Chen Shi.

Chen Shi glanced at the overly familiar guy and recognized him—he was one of the boys he had seen crowding around when he left the dormitory management station.

"Hmm." Chen Shi responded and stopped walking, wondering what this person wanted to say to him.

"A laptop, perhaps?"

"Um."

"Can I take a look?"

After Shen Kang finished speaking, he immediately added, "I also wanted to buy one, but I don't know what it's like in person. I happened to see this box you're carrying, it's from Huanhuan.com, and it looks like a laptop, so I came over to take a look. If it's inconvenient for you, that's fine, I just wanted to see what it looks like in person."

Chen Shi's heart stirred, and he glanced at the boy again.

It seems this guy, like many others, wanted to buy a laptop but was short on funds. He came across Huanhuan.com and was tempted by the fact that the secondhand laptops on Huanhuan.com offered after-sales service, but was also worried about getting ripped off. Now that someone has actually taken the plunge, he wants to see what's really going on and whether it's worth buying...

Chen Shi instantly formed a rough judgment in his mind about the unfamiliar boy in front of him.

Then she readily agreed: "Sure."

Chen Shi himself was also someone who was short of money but wanted to buy a laptop, so he empathized with this boy.

It was just a small favor; I helped if I could.

The two found a corner in the dormitory management office. Chen Shi put down the box he was carrying, and Shen Kang also put the cardboard box on the ground.

Because Shen Kang's cardboard box was open, Chen Shi immediately saw the packaging boxes of the electric toothbrushes inside.

This was the first time Chen Shi had ever seen such a strange toothbrush printed on a box, and he couldn't help but say, "This is a toothbrush? It looks so weird."

Shen Kang said, "Yes, it's a toothbrush, but an electric toothbrush."

This was the first time Chen Shi had ever heard of an electric toothbrush. He thought to himself, "Electric toothbrushes? I've learned something new." However, he didn't say anything, just casually asked, "Is this yours?"

Shen Kang said, "Yes, it's a new product from my company."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi understood: it seemed that this boy, like him, was doing part-time work, and his company had asked him to bring back a box of these electric toothbrushes to sell.

Chen Shi didn't ask about the electric toothbrush anymore. Instead, she carefully took the notebook out of the box and showed it to the boy in front of her.

Shen Kang didn't touch it; he just looked at the laptop from left to right.

"Looks pretty good? I thought it would be like the Syrian battle-damaged winds." Shen Kang said casually.

This was the first time Chen Shi had heard the name "Syria War Damaged Wind," but he instantly understood the term—it perfectly described the style of the computer he had previously imagined.

"Haha, your choice of words is quite interesting." Chen Shi chuckled. "Actually, I initially thought the same thing, that the appearance didn't matter as long as it worked. So when I went to get the item just now, I was quite surprised—it looked almost brand new."

Then, Chen Shi immediately opened the laptop and turned it on.

"There's a tiny scratch on the screen, which is mentioned on the website, so it's acceptable and doesn't affect usability... You need to look closer, yes, you see it?"

"All the hardware is fine, just as described on the website. T5600 processor, 1300 graphics card, and the original owner added memory, which is a good deal... So far, there don't seem to be any problems. I just don't know if there will be any issues after using it for a while, but their website offers warranty and after-sales service, and they've set up a whole set of things, so I think they should provide those services, otherwise they wouldn't bother with all that stuff..."

Chen Shi is usually not a very talkative person, but perhaps because he finally bought his first computer today and was quite satisfied with it, he was a little excited and his desire to share arose, so he became more talkative and gave a detailed introduction to every aspect of the computer.

Shen Kang squatted down beside him, watching and listening with great interest—judging from the boy's behavior, he seemed to have a very good first impression of the laptop from Huanhuan.com. That's good.

After Chen Shi finished speaking, Shen Kang added, "It looks pretty good just by looking at it, but I don't know how it will perform in practice."

Chen Shi thought for a moment, then glanced at the cardboard box Shen Kang had placed to the side, and simply said, "It's not convenient to show it here. Let's go to my dorm, and we'll see how this computer works together."

The guy who suddenly came up to ask about the computers on Huanhuan.com really reminded Chen Shi of the days when he was saving up to buy a computer, so he invited the guy to his dorm to see how the computer was.

If there's a real problem, I'll just step into it myself; I can't let this guy step into it too.

Shen Kang thought to himself, "This is not bad. I haven't even asked yet, and the other party has already extended an invitation."

"Okay, thanks."

As Shen Kang spoke, he stood up and picked up the cardboard box containing the electric toothbrushes.

Chen Shi reassembled the computer, then stood up carrying the cardboard box.

The two of them, each carrying a box, left the dormitory management station and entered "Dormitory No. 5".

On the way, Shen Kang even took the initiative to chat with Chen Shi.

Which model did you buy?

"t60".

"I saw them too, there are two, which one is yours?"

"The one that costs over two thousand. Actually, in terms of cost-effectiveness, the one that costs over three thousand is better, but I don't have enough money right now. If you have enough money, and once you've confirmed everything is okay, I still recommend you buy the one that costs over three thousand; it's more cost-effective..."

The two walked and talked, and before long they knew each other's names.

Shen Kang, just like someone looking to buy a used laptop from a secondhand marketplace, inquired about every aspect in detail.

They also asked about the details of picking up the goods.

"...What's the process like when picking up the goods? Is it safe? It's worth several thousand yuan, I'm always a little worried that something might go wrong."

Chen Shi walked along carrying the cardboard box, chuckling, "You don't need to worry about that. The other party is quite thoughtful. They sent you a text message with a pickup code and require you to link your Beiming prepaid card to make the purchase. You know Beiming prepaid cards, right? They're registered under your real name, plus the text message, so it can't be wrong."

"By the way, this website also uses a seal code to ensure that the goods delivered to you are the same goods that have been shipped out of the warehouse. The seal code will be sent to your phone along with a text message, and there is also a screen at the pickup point displaying the seal code. You must make sure that the seal code is correct, as this is related to your after-sales service. If the seal code is wrong and you still sign for it, the website says they will refuse to provide service."

Upon hearing this, Shen Kang said, "That sounds a bit troublesome?"

Chen Shi said, "It's not troublesome. You just need to check it on the spot. It takes at most ten seconds. And the process design is quite good."

Shen Kang turned his head and glanced at Chen Shi.

When he designed the label code, he essentially shifted some of the verification responsibility to the customer. He had some hesitation, but ultimately decided to do it this way, as it was the lowest-cost and most efficient anti-tampering solution. As various technologies develop in the future, it can be gradually improved to make it increasingly convenient and comfortable for customers.

For now, let's let the customers suffer first, and let Wen Chulan bear the blame.

Therefore, Shen Kang believed that customers would be somewhat dissatisfied with the design. But Chen Shi actually said, "It's pretty good?"

This piqued Shen Kang's interest.

"I can tell from their tone that they're being a bit of a scoundrel, so why do you say it's fine?" Shen Kang asked.

Chen Shi explained to him, "Actually, the other party designed this seal code to prevent it from being switched after leaving the warehouse but before reaching us. This protects our interests and ensures that what we receive is the product we bought, which benefits us. Linking the seal code to after-sales service is also to encourage us to check it ourselves. After all, if we let the store clerks check it, or if the store clerks tell us to check it, they might skip this step to save trouble, which would defeat the purpose and could easily lead to problems..."

Shen Kang simply listened without saying a word.

After Chen Shi finished speaking, he sighed, "It seems that every rule has its specific reason behind it." Then, he looked at Chen Shi with interest: "Senior Chen, are you in the management department?"

Chen Shi shook his head. "I'm a philosophy major."

"..."

Chen Shi was also frustrated. "I was quite romantic at first, thinking philosophy was some kind of awesome major, but when I got here I realized it's a terrible major, and it's hard to find a job after graduation..."

As they talked, they soon arrived at Chen Shi's dormitory building and went upstairs.

Upon entering the dormitory, Chen Shi saw Zhao Lei sitting in front of his bulky CRT monitor playing World of Warcraft. The Blademaster's voice acting roared from the speakers, mixed with the sound of Zhao Lei clattering on the keyboard and clicking the mouse—Zhao Lei said that was called APM, and his value was as high as 400.

Li Wei sat at his desk, flipping through a copy of "Men's Health" magazine, the cover of which featured a scantily clad female celebrity.

Wang Hongyu isn't here; he's probably still at the library.

After Chen Shi went inside, he first put the cardboard box on his desk, and then looked back at Shen Kang who was following behind him.

"Come in, make yourself at home." With that, he casually pulled Wang Hongyu's chair to his desk.

Shen Kang walked in carrying his box of electric toothbrushes, put them on the ground, and sat down on the stool next to Chen Shi's desk.

Zhao Lei's Sword Saint finally died. He threw the mouse down and then noticed that there was a stranger in the dormitory.
