NABC Chapter 9: A Scam by Capital
Chapter 9: A Scam by Capital
Lu Ran ran outside the residential area, deliberately slowing down to keep a distance from Cheng Ning that was neither too close nor too far, just enough to hear her talking without being noticed.
As for why...
It's simple; he was curious why the system had given him that task yesterday.
They even slandered him by saying he had the reaction he wanted.
He wanted to see how Cheng Ning would react, just to see what kind of reaction he wanted!
"Dodo, do you think he ate something that damaged his brain?"
"You can't just eat anything, you know?"
Lu Ran: ......
Why did he feel a strange sense of satisfaction even though he was being criticized?
This morning, you greeted Cheng Ning three times in a row, each time more eccentric than the last. She thought you might have lost your mind, which made you very happy.
[Gained 30 treasure chest experience points.]
"We've been set up by capital!"
Lu Ran sighed and left in anger.
the next day.
The computer parts that Lu Ran ordered online arrived one after another today.
He originally planned to hire a computer installer to install it for him, but now he has decided to do it himself.
Guys with strong hands-on skills are often more attractive to girls. If you can master computer assembly skills, you might find it useful in the future.
[Task: Try to assemble your own computer.]
[Reward: 30 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]
He had built his own computer before, so this challenge wasn't a big problem for him.
If you want to assemble a computer yourself, firstly, you can't do it at night, and secondly, you have to eat a full meal before you start.
Lu Ran simply stir-fried some green peppers and shredded pork in the kitchen, made a sweet and sour pork rib dish, and stewed a bowl of corn soup. That was her simple lunch.
After finishing his meal, looking at the rows of brand-new computer parts on the ground, Lu Ran rubbed his hands together, eagerly anticipating the upcoming computer assembly process.
Most boys are powerless against electronic products.
Lu Ran took out his phone, put on gloves, opened the tutorial video and placed it on the stool, then squatted down to begin assembling the new computer.
One hour later!
Lu Ran clapped his hands triumphantly and said, "Done."
After plugging in the power and connecting the monitor, Lu Ran gently pressed the power button.
The cool lights came on, and he lit them up successfully on the first try. He felt like a genius.
Thinking back to the last time he assembled a computer, it took him nearly three hours.
Because of that experience, this time it went so smoothly.
Lu Ran once saw a saying in the PC building community: "Assembling a computer is a way to test the normal human being."
Some people have damaged memory modules by forcefully pressing on them, others have hot-swapped graphics cards, some have inserted graphics cards into memory slots, and still others have tried to be clever by placing a phone's heatsink on top of the CPU to cool it down.
The most bizarre case involved a computer installer setting up the system, only for the customer to demand a refund because the power cord wasn't plugged in and the computer wouldn't turn on.
If you don't frequent these kinds of circles, you really won't know the diversity of human beings in this world.
Many girls, in particular, are complete computer novices.
If you download Steam, you might even be able to impress the girls.
Therefore, it is really necessary for boys to learn more skills.
You have successfully assembled your new computer.
[Gained 30 treasure chest experience points.]
After booting up and installing the computer system, the task reward was successfully credited to your account.
After thinking for a moment, the first thing Lu Ran did after turning on his new computer was to take out his phone, take a few photos, and send them to his good friend.
From the chassis shape to the hardware information, nothing is omitted.
Lu Ran: (Image) (Image) (Image)
Lu Ran: How did you know I just built a new PC with a 5090d?
The message was sent out and received a response shortly thereafter.
Li Shang: ???
Li Shang: Who are you trying to fool with these AI-generated images?!
Lu Ran: Don't believe me? Come on, let's watch the video.
Back in the dorm, Li Shang once said that he would send him a message as soon as he got a top-of-the-line computer.
So he had long fantasized about retaliating against this kid first.
I thought this wish would only be fulfilled with the 60 series, but now... with the release of the 90 series, I guarantee that kid will be screaming with excitement.
Li Shang: I'm very busy right now, I don't have time to argue with you.
Li Shang: Oh, right, I happen to have something to tell you.
"Li Shang: I'll send you a WeChat account later. Add it. It's a girl I found for you through connections. She's pretty and her conditions are okay. Add her and chat with her. Don't make excuses. This is a task my aunt gave me. Even if you don't want to chat, you have to add her and pretend to chat for my sake."
Li Shang: That's it, I'm going to work now.
Lu Ran remained silent.
My mom really went to great lengths to find him a partner, infiltrating every connection he had.
But I had nothing else to do.
Lu Ran clicked on the push notification sent by Li Shang out of curiosity.
"I don't eat cilantro (I've seen Kun Kun's version)"
Signature: A girl should live a refined life; when looking for a partner, see if he's willing to pay for your refinement.
[Moments on WeChat Moments: Gym check-in. Travel check-in.]
[Moments on WeChat: Preparing for postgraduate entrance exam.]
[WeChat Moments: Reject the shame of price tags, starting with me!]
Lu Ran: ......
"Good grief, are they stacking buffs here?"
Lu Ran finally understood; his brother was afraid he would live a good life.
He swiped it without even thinking. Just kidding, anyone who gets even the slightest connection with a god of this level will be skinned alive.
He's a novice when it comes to love, but not an idiot.
In this day and age, with information so readily available, any normal person knows what these labels mean.
Unfortunately, just as Lu Ran swiped out, he received a notification on WeChat that someone had added him, and it was the same girl from before.
Lu Ran pouted, thinking that if he didn't add it, his mother would definitely call and nag him for ages tonight.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ran blinked and accepted the friend request.
He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of what he was going to post later.
"I don't eat cilantro (I've seen Kun Kun's version): Hello, I was introduced by an acquaintance."
Lu Ran quickly waved his fingers.
"However: It was one thousand yuan through an acquaintance."
A full five minutes passed before the other end replied with a string of question marks.
"Ran: You still think a thousand is too much? Then why are you even looking for a young master? The lowest price is eight hundred, or forget it."
"I don't eat cilantro (I've seen Kun Kun's version): Are you a male prostitute? Seriously, what do you take me for? Making me go on a blind date with a male prostitute? Speechless."
Ran: Oh? You're here on a blind date with me? I'm so sorry, I made a mistake. How about we start over? Hello, beautiful lady, I'm Li Shang's friend. It's nice to meet you.
After waiting for ten minutes without a reply, Lu Ran sent another question mark, only to find that he had been blocked.
"Hahaha···"
Lu Ran almost collapsed from laughing.
···
Days are passing by, and the National Day holiday is just around the corner.
Cheng Ning recently went to the hospital for an eye exam, so Lu Ran rarely sees her.
The system has not triggered any more tasks.
This proves that the system seems to be bound to a target, centered around Cheng Ning.
Lu Ran hasn't told Cheng Ning about his invitation to travel during the National Day holiday yet, because he's been thinking about it for many days but can't come up with a good excuse.
It wasn't that he couldn't bring himself to ask, but rather that he was afraid his excuse would be inappropriate and Cheng Ning would refuse.
That's a thousand experience points for the treasure chest; once you complete that, you'll have enough to open the King's Treasure Chest.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ran decided to go to the hospital to see Cheng Ning.
"Officer Wang told me before that I should take good care of her, so it's reasonable for me to go to the hospital to check on her, right?"
"Yes, that's right, it's decided then."
Having found a good excuse, Lu Ran tidied himself up and headed to the city hospital.
