Chapter 53 Computer Master
Three little girls sat in a row looking at the digital camera, whispering about the photos they had just taken.
“This is not a good photo.”
"The Admiral actually has abdominal muscles, although only a little bit."
“This photo is not taken well either… I feel the perspective is a bit awkward.”
"I didn't take a good picture, you guys take one... change the way you say it."
“This is a superb shot.”
“It’s perfect.”
“It’s not perfect.”
"A flawless jade."
"Ha, I am indeed a genius."
He threw his coat on the square table and was only wearing a white shirt and trousers. Even with the air conditioning, he still felt a little hot after all that. Su Xia unbuttoned a few more buttons of his shirt and sat aside to continue drinking the black tea that he had not finished. After finishing it, he poured himself a cup.
At this point, he could be sure of one thing.
"Xiao Zhai, let me ask you, who asked you to take a picture of me?"
Xiao Zhai immediately turned his head away and said, "If you don't know, just tell me."
Su Xia asked: "How could you not know?"
"I just don't know."
"Xiao Luo, tell me."
"Xiao Luo can't say."
On one side is the admiral, and on the other side is a good friend. Xiao Luo looked left and right, feeling torn.
Seeing that Xiao Luo was about to scream, Su Xia could bully Xiao Zhai or Xiao Hua, but he had no way to deal with the innocent Xiao Luo, so he quickly said, "No more, Xiao Luo, you don't have to say anything." He looked around and said, "Xiao Zhai, I just want to ask you a question... I saw that your activity room was not like this yesterday. These computers, refrigerators and the like are bargaining chips. Someone asked you to take pictures of me?"
Since it does not involve the principle of confidentiality, Xiao Zhai nodded vigorously: "Yes."
"I didn't want to help her..." Xiao Zhai said after thinking for a while.
"Then why should we help her?" Su Xia thought, is it her and not them?
"Damn capitalism, you actually want to buy us with money, this is an insult to us..." Xiao Zhai said as she stood up and sat down again, "I wanted to scold her so loudly, but she gave too much." She was satisfied, it was really interesting to play with memes, so funny.
Su Xia nodded thoughtfully. Another keyword: "capitalism"?
But aren't you three capitalists... Xiaohua and Xiaoluo are no exception. Xiaozhai belongs to the German system, but this Germany is not the same as that Germany. It's not the Germany where soldiers are like civil servants, with an eight-hour workday and weekends off. That Germany is the Third Reich, where the Socialist Workers' Party is in power, which is not capitalism anyway.
Su Xia thought about the configuration of the computer he saw not long ago, the four-door refrigerator, and the latest tablet computer. The digital camera should not be a gift but a tool. These things alone are worth a lot of money. He said, "It's really too much."
"Hehe." Xiao Zhai laughed.
"Laugh, you're still laughing, is it funny?" Su Xia suddenly said, "Trust can be worn away. I trusted you so much, and you said whatever you wanted. I never it happening next time."
After hearing Su Xia's words, several little girls looked at each other. In fact, it was Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua. Xiao Luo was just making up the numbers. She knew nothing from the beginning to the end and was worthy of being called a tool.
"Is the Admiral angry?" Xiao Zhai asked cautiously.
"What do you think?" Su Xia asked with a smile.
"I, I'll let Xiaoluo rub your face." Xiaozhai said worriedly, "Xiaohua will also rub your face together."
"Xiao Zhai!" Xiao Hua shouted, "Why don't you go and let the admiral rub your face."
Xiao Zhai looked at Xiao Hua, then turned to Su Xia: "I'll rub your face, too. Are you satisfied now?"
"I am very satisfied." Su Xia sneered.
"Are you still not satisfied?" Xiao Zhai said, "What exactly do you want to be satisfied...Computer, I see you seem to like that computer very much, you can take it away...take it away." She said in a crying voice.
Su Xia looked at the computer, which had a large curved screen, an i9-9900K with an RTX 2080Ti, and although it was not the highest-end, it was definitely much better than her previous computer, which had an i5-9600K with an RTX 2070. Wasn't it just that she was in need of a computer? Otherwise, would she really be living off Lexington?
"Who do you think I am... just a computer." Su Xia said, "Don't you really know why I'm angry? I'm angry because I trusted you so much, but you treated me as a tool to make money and betrayed my trust. If you told me directly, I would still agree to your request. But you deceived me like this, and I agreed to your request with resentment."
"I'm sorry, Admiral." Xiao Zhai said.
"This won't happen again." Su Xia said.
"This won't happen again." Xiao Zhai raised his hand, "You shameless capitalism, don't try to corrupt me. Fanta is the best in the world, and Coca-Cola, don't try to corrupt me."
When Su Xia heard Xiao Zhai's slogan, he looked strange. Your slogan... In the 20th century, Coca-Cola decided to promote their beverages to the world, including Germany. As Germany blitzed France and occupied most of Europe, the trade embargo began. Without the original formula syrup, or the factory stopped production, why not develop a beverage yourself? So Fanta appeared. After all the twists and turns, the formula of the new Fanta is different from that of the old Fanta in World War II, but the name is the same. Anyway, Fanta and Coca-Cola are a bit of a joke.
"Since you swore and vowed... I have no choice but to forgive you, but only this once. Don't do such things that will erode trust again." Su Xia paused, looking out the window. The annoying chirping of cicadas came from the lush treetops. "As for the computer, it's not convenient for me to take it away now. I'll find a car to move it later."
"Ah... didn't you say you forgave us?" Xiao Zhai said with an ugly expression. Do you still want to take the computer away?
"Yeah, I said I forgive you."
"But……"
"You mean the computer... I don't care about your computer. You can take it or not. Why do you have to take it?" Su Xia said righteously, "I want you to remember what happened today. It's wrong. In order to make it memorable, you must lose something."
Xiaohua nodded, she understood.
Xiao Luo nodded, she understood completely.
Although he was unwilling, Xiao Zhai had no choice but to accept it.
"Then this computer is mine now."
Su Xia sat down in front of the computer desk, swiping the mouse, and said with a smile: "Who gave you this computer? There's something wrong with it... Why install so many security managers and guards? To raise poison? And what's the difference between a little lion and a virus? And there are so many browsers. It's enough to have only one browser that can install plug-ins. What's the point of having so many game platforms... It looks like we need to clean it up."
Su Xia thought, with so many messy things, the original owner of this computer must not be good at using computers, so he must not be good at erasing traces. Many clues can be found through this computer to find out the original owner of the computer, and then... forget about those, this computer is really smooth to use.
Su Xia couldn't remember how many relatives and colleagues she had helped to fix their computers. Every time, she had to delete a lot of messy software. Some software was so excessive that if you didn't carefully uncheck the boxes when deleting it, it would install two for you after deleting one. Some unscrupulous domestic software was so crazy.
Su Xia deleted those apps while showing off in front of the little Loli.
"These so-called security managers, delete them all, they are basically useless. When you uninstall them, they tell you that your computer may be at risk without them... It's a lie. Not to mention that there are very few computer viruses nowadays, there are definitely some, but it's hard to encounter them in normal use. If you really encounter one, does it have the ability to kill viruses?"
"Sometimes it's OK to leave a security butler, but you have to set it to start automatically at boot, mainly for... how to say it, big gangsters control small gangsters, and barbarians control barbarians with barbarians."
"I never use video software. Apart from pushing ads, what else can I do? Isn't it better to watch it directly on the web page?"
"This browser must have been installed by the input method. I'm saying this in a rather harsh way... Never mind, there's nothing to say if I don't use vulgar language. This browser is also... Never mind, I won't say anything. This browser is not bad. Let me see if there is any plug-in installed to block web ads."
"I really want to reinstall the system."
After all, she was a little girl, and even a little otaku didn’t know much about computers. She looked at the computer screen, which suddenly became clear, and said, “The admiral is amazing.”
"At the level of an ordinary person." Su Xia was modest, but there was nothing to be modest about. His level was just slightly better than that of an ordinary person.
"Admiral, please help me clean up my computer." Xiao Zhai said, "I feel that my computer is a mess."
Su Xia asked: "Do you still have a computer?"
"The computer that the dead otaku girl discarded."
Xiaohua complained: "You call me a nerd every day, and you still want my computer."
Xiao Zhai said: "I don't want her discarded computer yet, I want a new one."
Su Xia asked, "You can ask Bei Zhai to help you clean up your computer, it's impossible that she won't do it."
"I don't want to ask her for help." Xiao Zhai said, "She only bullies me. I don't know what she did to my computer before. Every time she plays a game for ten minutes, it automatically closes the game."
"Is that so..." Su Xia said without hesitation, "No problem, I'll help you clean up your computer."
"Yeah!" Xiao Zhai jumped up.
Xiaohua was silent for a moment, then said, "My computer is also a mess, Admiral, can you help me?"
"OK!"
Xiaohua took out her cell phone, she had one, and said, "Admiral, what's your cell phone number? Help Xiaozhai figure it out and call me."
Only Xiao Luo is confused, but she will repeat the grade and just follow Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua to do whatever they want.
"We have a computer at home, too. A really big one. Sister Rodney uses it to watch TV and doesn't go to bed until ten o'clock."
