Longxing Computer City.

Since computer prices became transparent, business at computer malls has been declining.

Lin Xiaolong, carrying his briefcase, glanced at the two employees idly standing around in the store and felt a little annoyed.

Young people are becoming increasingly harder to fool these days. Unlike before, when you could easily make several thousand yuan selling a computer, the profit margin is much lower now.

Lin Xiaolong started working right after graduating from vocational school. He was lucky when he was young and made a fortune selling computers. He rented a shop in a computer mall and earned at least tens of thousands of yuan a month.

Now he owns a house and a car and has married a young and beautiful woman.

Although it might not seem like much in this big city, he was definitely outstanding in his village, and he couldn't help but smile with pride whenever he thought about it.

Just then, his phone vibrated, and he received a message.

My cousin Lin Xiaozhe from the same village said he wanted to get a computer from him.

Upon seeing his cousin arrive, he immediately became interested and inquired about him privately.

Lin Xiaozhe doesn't seem to be doing very well. He hasn't been back to the village for several years. It seems he's doing live streaming or something now, but I guess he might not even be able to afford to eat.

Unlike me, who is not even thirty yet, I have a car, a house, a successful career, and a happy marriage. I am a true young achiever.

In contrast, his cousin Lin Xiaozhe was a complete loser.

Back then, everyone in the village, young and old, looked up to Lin Xiaozhe as a role model. After all, he was one of the few college graduates in the village. But look what happened! He still hasn't made a name for himself and is not as successful as someone who only graduated from a vocational school.

Business has been slow these past few days, so I'll take this opportunity to rip off Lin Xiaozhe.

Outside the computer mall.

Lin Xiaozhe found the location.

[Ding dong, your video of being scammed has received 100,000 likes and 999+ comments on Douyin, earning you 3,000 points.]

"Someone is spreading my video?"

Lin Xiaozhe opened Douyin and did a quick search, and found that many people were reposting his videos, and the number of likes was not low.

He was pleased to see this kind of dissemination, partly because of the points system, and partly because he hoped that ordinary people would strengthen their awareness of fraud prevention.

He has a system that offers rebates if someone is scammed, but for an ordinary person, being scammed once could ruin their life.

This is not child's play.

Lin Xiaozhe remembered that he could use points to enter a lottery, and he could enter once for every thousand points, so he decisively entered.

He remembered that the system guaranteed a minimum of one SSS rare item when you reached 100,000 points.

We're still a long way from reaching 100,000 points.

[Ding dong! Congratulations on your SSS rare item, Eye of Value, which allows you to see the true value of everything.]

"That's incredible! Absolutely amazing luck?"

"The eye of assembly value".

Lin Xiaozhe felt a little itchy in his eyes and couldn't help but rub them. When he opened them again, he found that everything around him was marked with a price.

First, there's the iPhone I have, which costs 1999 yuan. When I bought it three years ago, it cost over 5000 yuan.

Lin Xiaozhe searched online and found that this model of phone now costs around two thousand.

It seems that the price marked by the Eye of Value is quite accurate.

besides.

Trash can ¥500.

Floor tiles: ¥200.

Revolving glass door ¥5000

A perfectly round stone pier ¥800

A stunningly beautiful woman passing by in a hurry: ¥1000 (overnight stay)

Lin Xiaozhe: "..."

Lin Xiaozhe was still a little disoriented as various numbers flashed before his eyes, and he almost bumped into the glass door. After asking around, he finally found his cousin Lin Xiaolong's computer shop.

"Brothers in the live stream."

"This is my cousin's shop."

“We grew up together in the same village, playing together since we were kids. There’s no way he would lie to me.”

That's the truth. It seems that Lin Xiaozhe and his friends have a long-standing relationship, from raiding bird nests in the mountains to fishing in the river. They wouldn't lie to him for a few coins, would they? That's too much to ask.

As he spoke, Lin Xiaozhe held up his phone and greeted Lin Xiaolong with a smile.

"Xiaolong, you're all fair and chubby, you look like you've struck it rich. I'm live streaming, I hope it doesn't bother you. If you feel uncomfortable, I can turn it off."

Lin Xiaozhe said with a smile.

Lin Xiaolong waved his hand, a cigarette dangling from his lips, indicating that there was no problem. He figured there probably wasn't even a single person in Lin Xiaozhe's live stream, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Lin Xiaolong sat down with an air of authority, squinted at Lin Xiaozhe, smiled, and patted Lin Xiaozhe on the shoulder.

"Xiao Ze is doing live streaming? Is that even viable? Why don't you come and work with me?"

“I happen to own three stores. You could be a store manager or something. I’m constantly running back and forth, and my monthly gas bill for my Land Rover alone is several thousand. It’s a good thing I bought that three million villa early on. Otherwise, if it were now, I’d probably be living worse than you.”

Live broadcast room.

Holy crap, let me count how many times he showed off in that one sentence.

[Trying to act all high and mighty as soon as you meet him, is this the streamer's best buddy?]

[The streamer's career has deteriorated to this point; he probably can't hold his head up high anymore.]

Lin Xiaozhe paused for a moment, but he was still very happy to hear that his cousin was doing so well. In fact, he had heard long ago that his cousin was the most successful young man in the village.

"Xiao Ze, you're lucky you came to me. If you had gone to someone else, they would have ripped you off for at least 8,000 yuan for a computer that cost at least 10,000 yuan. What kind of relationship do we have? I'll personally put together a computer for you, using the best hardware in the store. I guarantee it will be super fast when you're streaming."

Lin Xiaolong patted his chest and assured him.

Live broadcast room.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaozhe slapped his thigh and said to the viewers in the live stream, "Did you see that!"

"I can't possibly be cheated out of a single penny once I step into this computer mall."

"Given my relationship with my cousin, would he lie to me?"

"This world is cold, but it also has the warmth of human kindness."

Live broadcast room.

[Oh no, those hoping to see the streamer get scammed are probably going to be disappointed.]

[If you're not going to be fooled, what am I supposed to see?]

[A day in the life of a streamer whose persona crumbles after being scammed.]

Lin Xiaozhe was very touched. When you're away from home and have no relatives or friends, you still need reliable friends.

"Cousin, do you have an online store? I'll promote it for you in my live stream."

"No need, no need." Lin Xiaolong waved his hand to decline, mainly because he felt that Lin Xiaozhe probably didn't have many fans, and promoting him would be a waste of time, but he couldn't resist Lin Xiaozhe's enthusiasm and told him.

"Xiaolong PC Assembly has stores on Taobao and Pinduoduo."

"Alright, brothers, if you need anything, feel free to patronize my cousin's business," Lin Xiaozhe promoted.

K God responded positively.

[The company is just replacing all its computers, so let's place an order for 300 units first to test it out. If there are no problems, we'll place the rest.]

Lin Xiaozhe gave K a thumbs up.

At this moment, Lin Xiaolong took a computer case and prepared to assemble the computer himself. He also had a laptop in his hand, which he put on the table.

"Xiaoze, come here and take a look. I've calculated everything for you one by one."

"This Hualong Sun God case is 1999, but I'll give you a friendly price of 900. Pretty good, right?"

Lin Xiaozhe's gaze fell on the computer case, where the price was displayed as 199...
