Chapter 43 Configuring a Computer



At 9:40 p.m., Bai Yu brought Wang Hai back to the dormitory building. After parking and charging their electric scooter, the two of them took their packed belongings and went upstairs.

Tonight's meal cost Bai Yu a little over 300 yuan, and Hu Tao also spent a few dozen yuan.

However, Hu Tao didn't spend money on food, but on drinks; he bought a case of 8+1.

The case contained twelve bottles, and Bai Yu and his two companions drank them all without leaving a single one.

Hu Tao drank five bottles by himself, while Bai Yu and the other two drank the remaining seven bottles. After drinking them, the three of them felt a little bloated, but otherwise had no other symptoms.

As for the feeling of being drunk or dizzy, that's simply not true. How could you feel that way after drinking 8+1? At least Bai Yu and the other two didn't.

The most impressive one was Wang Hai. He not only drank more than three bottles of beer, but he also ate from beginning to end during the meal. And that wasn't all; Bai Yu even packed some kebabs for him to bring back.

Sometimes Bai Yu really wanted to ask Wang Hai what his belly was made of, how he could eat so much and yet not gain weight, which was infuriating.

No, it's not that Wang Hai doesn't gain weight; it's just that before he can gain any fat, he's already built up muscle.

Back in the dormitory, Bai Yu went to wash up and go to bed first, while Wang Hai sat down and started eating skewers.

Watching Wang Hai eat, Bai Yu suddenly had an idea: Wang Hai can eat so much, it's a pity he's not a food vlogger or a restaurant review vlogger.

Wang Hai, in particular, exercises every day and doesn't gain weight despite eating a lot. He has muscles all over his body, unlike some food vloggers who get fatter and uglier the more they eat.

Looking at Wang Hai, an image of a restaurant review blogger suddenly popped into his mind—no, to be precise, a restaurant review duo called "Three Warriors Who Never Get Full."

Those three can eat a lot. While they can eat a lot, they also have another account. They can't finish training the three warriors. They will eat and then train hard to prevent the excess calories from turning into fat.

However, Bai Yu was just thinking about it. He had no intention of letting Wang Hai develop in that direction. After all, Wang Hai didn't have that kind of eloquence, nor could he pretend. He simply liked to eat.

By the time Bai Yu finished washing up and came out, Wang Hai had also finished eating.

"Ah Hai, tidy up your desk, then wash up and get ready to rest. We'll go for a run together tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Brother Fisherman."

Wang Hai agreed, then cleaned up the leftovers and went to wash up.

In that short time, Bai Yu had already fallen asleep in bed. There was nothing she could do; when you're young, you can just fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow. Actually, she was just too tired today.

Hearing the soft snoring coming from Bai Yu's bed, Wang Hai slowed down his movements while washing up, trying to make as little noise as possible so as not to disturb Bai Yu.

The next morning at six o'clock, the reveille for the new students rang out again on time.

Upon hearing the reveille, Bai Yu got out of bed without hesitation and then woke up Wang Hai on the opposite bed as well.

Around seven o'clock, the two brothers had finished breakfast and rested for a while before arriving at the playground to prepare for their morning training.

Bai Yu and his friend arrived at the playground on electric bikes. Wang Hai also had a bag on his back. After getting off the bike, Wang Hai took out a large handful of weighted sandbags from the bag.

These sandbags come in only two sizes: 0.5 kg and 1 kg. The 1 kg ones are used to bind the legs, and the 0.5 kg ones are used to bind the hands.

Unlike in the small fishing village, when Bai and Yu trained on flat ground like the playground, they would add weight to themselves, which would benefit both their explosive power and endurance.

On the playground, the freshmen had already lined up in square formations. Today was different from yesterday; the training intensity for the freshmen would be much higher, and they would also have running training.

After tying the sandbags on, Bai Yu led Wang Hai onto the track and then took the lead in front of a group of freshmen who were running.

That's right, a group of people in military training camouflage uniforms were running, but the two people leading the way were actually wearing sportswear. Would the military training instructors be happy to see this?

That's impossible, of course.

However, even if the instructor was unhappy, he couldn't kick Bai Yu and his brother out, because they were on the school's track and field team and were training.

The reasons are perfectly valid, it's just that the method was a bit despicable...

It wasn't that Bai Yu wanted to do something so shameless; he mainly wanted these freshmen to train the two of them.

For example, at that moment, Bai Yu made eye contact with the instructor of this class. The former raised an eyebrow at the latter, who frowned and glanced at the freshman beside him.

"Everyone, speed up and overtake! Whoever can overtake can rest during training this afternoon."

Seeing Bai Yu's provocative gaze, the instructor, who was also a young man, couldn't stand it.

However, as a soldier, he was not suitable to be compared with Bai Yu and the other two. Although he had only served for half a year, his current status was different.

But it doesn't matter if he can't go, there's a group of freshmen around him who can go, and the conditions he offered are tempting enough, no training for an entire afternoon.

After speaking with his new students, the instructor quickly approached Bai Yu and his companion and spoke to them.

"Hey buddy, wanna race these kids? Five laps, let's see who finishes first?"

"Sure, it's nothing. If you lose, I'll buy you some water."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Bai Yu agreed without saying a word. Then, seeing the students behind him speed up, Bai Yu and Wang Hai also quickened their pace.

Despite the weights Bai Yu and Wang Hai were carrying, the six pounds were nothing to them and posed no obstacle whatsoever.

However, unlike the students behind them who were sprinting with gritted teeth, Bai Yu and Wang Hai ran at their own pace. Even when some students overtook them, Bai Yu ignored them and let them pass.

Bai Yu never considered these freshmen as rivals, after all, they had just gone through three years of high school life, especially the high pressure of their final year when they were admitted to Ocean University.

As a fellow new student, Bai Yu knew all too well how physically capable these people were.

Just wait and see. Don't be fooled by how fast these freshmen run; they'll get tired and run out of steam soon.

Just as Bai Yu had expected, after one lap, there were only a handful of freshmen who could still keep up steadily behind Bai Yu and Wang Hai, and there were none who were ahead of them.

After running five laps, the closest freshman was still half a lap away from them, and that was without Bai Yu and the others exerting their full strength.

After running five laps, Wang Hai stopped, while Bai Yu continued running.

Their focuses are different, so their training methods are naturally different as well. Five laps are enough for Wang Hai's training, but for Bai Yu, that is far from enough.

Wang Hai was sent by Bai Yu to buy water. He went by electric scooter, and by the time he returned, Bai Yu had already completed seven laps.

He first gave Bai Yu a bottle of water, and then, carrying three cases of Wahaha purified water, walked towards the formation where they had been running earlier.

At this moment, this formation is standing at attention on one side of the track. No, rather than standing at attention, it's more accurate to say they are watching Bai Yu run.

Wang Hai placed the water bottle next to their instructor and then stood aside to watch.

"Dude, this teammate of yours is pretty awesome. He's already covered three kilometers and his pace isn't slowing down. If he were in the army, he'd be a master of five-kilometer cross-country running."

The instructor looked at Wang Hai and the water on the ground, then at Bai Yu on the track and said.

“Teammate? That’s my brother. Here, this is the water my brother offered you.”

That's it? Just because I said he was your brother, that's all?

The instructor glanced at Wang Hai and the water on the ground again. This time he didn't say anything because he could tell that Wang Hai was not good at talking and that most people couldn't connect with him.

However, the instructors were not going to be polite about the water that Wang Hai brought over, since it wasn't just for him. Besides, Bai Yu had indeed said that if they lost, he would treat the freshmen to water.

In the end, Bai Yu spent half an hour running twenty laps around the track before finishing the run.

However, apart from the freshmen who initially ran alongside Bai Yu and his group being amazed by Bai Yu's twenty laps, the rest of the students did not cause much of a stir on the playground.

After all, by the end of the race, there were more than just one physical education student like him running on the track; other members of the track and field team had also come to run.

After finishing the run, Bai Yu also went to the instructor's side. After chatting with him for a few words, he and Wang Hai left the track and sat down in the stands.

The instructors, after all, still need to train the new students. The two of them are just freelancers and it's not really appropriate for them to stay on the track. They'd be better off sitting in the stands on the side, so they won't get in the way.

Around noon, Hu Tao called him, and the three of them had lunch together in the cafeteria. After that, Hu Tao took Bai Yu and the other person to the computer mall in the city.

Since you're going to build a computer, you should naturally go to a professional place to do it.

According to Hu Tao, there is a computer shop in the city's computer mall that is owned by a former alumnus of their university. Many students from their university buy their computers from him because he guarantees both quality and price.

On Hu Tao's recommendation, Bai Yu assembled two computers priced around five thousand yuan each. Computers at this price point are perfectly adequate for both gaming and video editing.

Under the watchful eyes of Bai Yu and his two companions, all the components of these two computers were brand new, from the graphics cards to everything else; they were all unopened products.

Around 2 PM, Bai Yu returned to his dormitory with two brand-new, fully-equipped computers.

Then, led by Hu Tao, the two of them went to the campus service center and connected the two computers to the campus network.

That's one of the downsides about being at school: if you want to connect to the internet, you can only do so through the campus network; you can't find an internet service provider outside the school. Ocean University of China is no exception.

Fortunately, the efficiency of the campus service center was quite good; they got their network working again in just one afternoon.

Five o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Yu's dormitory.

"Alright, now that you've got everything sorted out, I'll be leaving. You two can go ahead and do whatever you need to do."

However, I must remind you all here: never use the campus network to connect to unhealthy websites. The campus can see your browsing history, so if you don't want to be reported by the school, please don't do it.

With the computer installed, Hu Tao had nothing more to do and prepared to leave. However, before leaving, he gave Bai Yu and the other person a piece of advice.

"Huh? An unhealthy website? And it gets reported on campus? What, cousin, were you reported on campus before?"

Upon hearing what Hu Tao said, Bai Yu immediately realized what website he was referring to, and then looked at Hu Tao with a suspicious expression.

"You're kidding me, I would never do such a thing. But it has happened before. Last year, a sophomore was publicly criticized and then felt he couldn't stay at school anymore, so he dropped out."

Good heavens, if this kind of thing gets publicly criticized by the school, the final result is expulsion, right? After all, this is just too outrageous.

Bai Yu then escorted Hu Tao to the dormitory entrance, and then returned to his dormitory to download software on his computer.

The first software he downloaded wasn't a game, but Premiere Pro, a video editing software, though he used the Chinese version.

After installing Premiere Pro, Bai Yu downloaded League of Legends. Then he took out the storage disk where he had recorded videos yesterday and exported the videos from it.

Yesterday's beachcombing video took nearly three hours to record, but after editing, it's good if you can get four or five minutes of footage; most of the video is useless.

While Bai Yu was editing the video, Wang Hai behind him was playing QQ Landlords. The League of Legends installation package was too big, and he hadn't finished downloading it yet.

Bai Yu edits videos quite quickly. The only troublesome thing is adding subtitles. The current Kuaishou app doesn't have intelligent subtitle recognition, so if he wants to add subtitles, he has to type them in word by word.

It took Bai Yu two hours to edit the video and add subtitles. After uploading the edited video to Kuaishou, he went to the cafeteria for dinner with Wang Hai.
