Chapter 110 Cyber Doctor
The game group was quiet for a while, until a few days later when the angry Naixiu calmed down and realized that she might also have a problem.
After all, you're not playing games to be bullied. You can't bottle up your frustrations. Whether he's right or wrong, it's better to put pressure on others than on yourself.
At this point, Nai Xiu took the initiative to privately chat with Chen Sui to reconcile, and the post was quietly and secretly deleted.
I should have returned to normal team-up activity, but I was probably too lazy after taking a long break. That's how games are; once you start playing, you can't stop, but once you stop, you don't want to log on at all. Besides, I've already gotten the rarest item, the Mystic Crystal, so once that obsession is broken, I don't have that strong motivation to log on every day.
Initially, the group was vehemently criticizing the leader for not organizing a raid, leaving them to wander alone and helpless. Later, fewer and fewer people spoke up, and members began to leave the group one by one.
"Class monitor, we're going to die if we don't start a group chat soon." Chen Che was writing a document on his laptop when a system notification popped up saying someone had left the group.
"Well...all good things must come to an end. We play games when we want to, and we stop when we don't want to." Chen Sui replied calmly, without feeling anything to be sad or disappointed about.
After all, games are just a form of entertainment; the focus should always be on the life in front of us.
"Ha, you really are good at taking things in stride."
Chen Sui smiled. The characters in online games are virtual, but the people behind them are real.
Although he no longer plays games, the relationship he formed with his apprentice through this opportunity will last a long time. The two of them will still chat and share their daily lives, talk about everything under the sun, and recommend things to each other.
Suddenly, Chen Che's laptop screen went black and the computer shut down.
"Damn it! I didn't save it!" Chen Che suddenly felt a blackout, his blood pressure spiked, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.
Chen Sui chuckled softly, remained silent, glanced at him, and continued with her own business.
Chen Che pressed the power button several times, but the screen and keyboard didn't even light up. The laptop wasn't responding at all, and Chen Che started to get anxious.
This laptop is old and long past its warranty period. There's no official warranty, so I can only find a private repair shop to fix it.
However, the skill level and character of the repair shop owners in the school are questionable. I have seen countless photos on the school's grade walls showing students who have been ripped off by repair shops, complaining that they immediately say the motherboard is broken and needs major repairs, only to find that the parts have been replaced after the repairs are done, making other functions unusable.
Seeing Chen Che's conflicted expression, Chen Sui tentatively asked, "Chen Che, how about I take a look for you?"
"Class monitor, you're so amazing! You can even fix computers now?" Chen Che asked in surprise. Installing a computer and repairing a computer are somewhat similar, but they are essentially two different things, and this time it's a laptop repair.
"It depends on the specific problem. We need to check the problem first before we know if it can be fixed," Chen Sui said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Alright, then, Dr. Chen, please take a look and tell me what's wrong with my computer?" Chen Che stood up to offer his seat and then gestured for him to sit down.
Chen Sui walked over and took a look. The power cord was plugged in and there was no problem. She then tried pressing the power button a few more times.
"I've tried it, it won't turn on," Chen Che reminded her as she continued to press the power button to turn it on.
"I know," Chen Sui said without turning her head, continuing to stare at the computer screen, "Didn't you notice anything strange about the area around the power button?"
When Chen Sui said that, Chen Che realized that something was indeed wrong. Pressing the power button once would not turn on the computer, but the power button would light up and turn off repeatedly several times.
"What is this?" Chen Che asked in confusion. He hadn't paid attention to this before; it was indeed a blind spot in his knowledge.
"It works on the same principle as the indicator lights on the motherboard; the number of times they flash repeatedly indicates different faults," Chen Sui explained.
"Oh, I see." Chen Che's eyes lit up, a look of sudden realization on his face. "Impressive, class monitor! So what kind of malfunction does this represent?"
"Now you want me to tell you how I would know? You'd have to go to the official website and check the instruction manual for the corresponding model." Chen Sui looked at Chen Che with an expression as if he were an idiot.
"Oh~" Chen Che nodded obediently.
Chen Sui quickly found the answer online using her desktop computer: the ring light next to the power button had flashed five times, indicating a memory problem.
"Okay, now I know, it's a memory problem." Chen Sui said with great certainty.
"Awesome." Chen Che gave a thumbs up without hesitation. This not only saved a lot of time going out to find a repair shop, but also effectively avoided being ripped off by private repair shops.
"Then I'll just check its memory model and buy two more sticks," Chen Che muttered to himself.
Chen Sui laughed upon hearing this, then put on the same look she had just given me, as if I were an idiot: "How do you know that the laptop's memory is soldered onto the motherboard, or that it can be upgraded?"
"Holy crap, oh..." Chen Che was taken aback. Now he felt like a greenhorn in front of Chen Sui.
Thinking back to just a short while ago when I was teaching her basic computer skills, it's only been a short time, and her level has already surpassed mine.
"Then what should we do?" Chen Che asked again humbly.
"It's simple, just take it apart and you'll see," Chen Sui said in a nonchalant tone.
"Should we just disassemble it? Have you ever disassembled a laptop before, class monitor?" Chen Che asked again. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, after all, she could even assemble a desktop computer. It was just that laptops had a lot of clips and other plastic parts, and disassembling them would actually make them more prone to damage than desktop computers.
Hearing his skeptical tone, Chen Sui chuckled and said, "Who are you looking down on? The department head's best friend, Senior Wang Zhi, is in the school's science and technology association. She often does things like disassembling and cleaning laptops for everyone. I've disassembled quite a few laptops with her."
After saying that, Chen Sui thought for a moment, then put on a smug look: "And tomorrow I'll help my senior set up a stall at the entrance of our dormitory, cleaning up the dust and installing systems for everyone for free."
"Now, Xiao Chen, go and get me that set of screwdrivers. I'll show you how to use them first."
Even though the screwdriver was in the drawer every two steps, Chen Sui still made him go get it for her.
But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Chen Che even had to nod repeatedly with a sly smile: "Okay, class monitor, please wait a moment."
When Chen Che brought the screwdriver over, Chen Sui pulled out a small box from somewhere, specifically for storing the screws she had unscrewed in order to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to find them when she reassembled the house.
Upon opening it up, I was relieved to find that it was a slot-type upgradeable module, meaning I only needed to buy a new memory stick to replace it.
"Thank you for your hard work, class monitor," Chen Che thought for a moment and decided he should treat her to a meal to express his gratitude. So he smiled and said to Chen Sui, "I'll treat you to a meal since you helped me fix my computer."
Chen Sui was still packing up her tools. Since she was going to replace the RAM anyway, she didn't need to put the laptop back together first. Hearing this, she bluntly stated her thoughts, a little annoyed: "Why bother eating? With this money, you should upgrade the RAM to a higher quality one. Besides, there's a spare slot here, so you could consider adding another stick to make it dual-channel..."
"The meal was finished in one sitting, but the computer could be upgraded and used for a long time. Wouldn't it be better to save that money and upgrade the computer's specs? I really don't understand why you treated me to a meal..."
As Chen Sui was speaking, she suddenly froze, only then realizing what she was saying.
"Uh... Shall we still go eat?" Chen Che asked cautiously.
"Eat..."
