Chapter 24: Just one more
Zhai Da and Wu Yue worked together and moved the old TV to Sanmao's home.
Wu Yue was responsible for moving the TV, and Zhai Da was responsible for carrying the electrical wires.
You can't trip up your brothers, right? That would be terrible.
Today is the weekend, and Yu Xiaoli said she went out to chat with her old sisters. Zhai Da also saved the trouble of explaining. In his small room, a space has been cleared out in the wardrobe that was converted into a bookcase, which is just enough to fit the small TV completely.
Wu Yue had finished his big bucket of iced black tea, so Zhai Da took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and gave it to him.
"You look so weak, why am I not sweating?"
"You didn't do anything..."
Wu Yue took out a handful of crumpled banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Zhai Da. This was the money paid by the old man.
The whole plan has been successfully completed. The domestic TV was bought by Zhai Da in an old shopping mall. It is indeed outdated, but it still costs 1,300 yuan.
I traded my old item for a new one for the old man, and the whole process cost me about a thousand yuan.
In fact, he could accept spending 2,000 yuan. The reason why he went around in circles was that he was skeptical about the character of this kind of store. It was too strange to buy a TV by force. It was almost the other party's instinct to raise the price.
After all, even the pager can be blown up to look like Karl Lagerfeld’s.
Now everyone is happy. In just one day, everything from receiving the money to obtaining the [equipment] was done.
Zhai Da counted the 300 and returned them directly to Wu Yue in person.
Wu Yue was stunned, then said happily, "Give it to me? Didn't the police station already give me 100?"
Zhai Da nodded. "Let's put it this way. You worked hard all afternoon and even went home to ride your tricycle several kilometers to deliver it. And your old phone, I'll take it all in. But I have only one request."
Wu Yue understood and made a zipper-pulling motion: "Little mouth~!"
He patted Wu Yue on the shoulder and told him to leave quickly without any further explanation.
If getting a reward for reporting gambling can be explained clearly, then going to great lengths to replace an old TV is impossible to explain.
Just sew it on and you're done.
After Wu Yue left happily, Zhai Da returned to his room, opened the wardrobe door, and the TV was right in front of him.
If you sit at the desk, the angle is just right and you can see it by turning your head.
"White Equipment [Old Man's TV]: No one can watch TV for twenty hours a day, unless he runs a store with no customers."
"Status: Owned, activated."
"Effect: Addiction level caused by playing content +300%."
"Note: My obsession as an adult is to comfort my childhood self."
As the information was updated, new content appeared in front of Zhai Da's eyes.
"It has been detected that the host has more than three [Equipment], open the [Equipment List] to view the equipment you have and turn on or off the equipment effects."
"Host, please collect more equipment, or synthesize more advanced equipment to unlock more functions of the system."
Zhai Da was stunned, his eyes were drawn to a blue interface with a "List" button in the upper right corner.
After opening it, there were only three things inside.
[The Clown's Love Letter], [The Solid and Forever 28-inch Truck], [The Old Man's TV].
There is an "Activated" on each of the three rears.
So that's how it is. Now he can manually turn item effects on and off?
But it seems that there is no need for this at the moment...
It seems that as you get more and more equipment, the system will have some different changes...
Zhai Da nodded with satisfaction.
But this is not important now, let’s test how powerful “Old Man TV” is first!
In a compartment under the wardrobe, there is a second-hand DVD player that he bought for 200 yuan at the old shopping mall.
After connecting all the cables, including the headphones for listening to music, Zhai Da dug out a few CDs that had been gathering dust for a long time.
That was a gift that came with the tutorial book. There were no online classes these days, but many books came with accompanying CDs. Zhai Da had accumulated quite a few of them, but had never read them once.
Zhai Da picked and chose, and finally decided to do some math to clear his mind.
If you choose a language that you are better at, it will not be easy to show results.
Mathematics is so exciting. It used to give me a headache whenever I heard about it, but today I want to see how to get addicted to it.
The system description is a bit vague because there is no standard for the concept of "addiction +300%". Is it an additive accumulation value or a multiplicative probability value?
If it is the latter, the effect is actually average, because the probability of becoming addicted just by watching the "math CD"... is infinitely close to zero, and even a tripling of it can be ignored.
What decent person is obsessed with this stuff?
With exploration and curiosity, Zhai Da inserted High School Mathematics (I) into the DVD. The content was part of the high school level, but he had to sort it out from the beginning.
Put on the headphones and the sound comes.
"Hello everyone... Today, we will discuss the first lecture of high school mathematics: Sets and Simple Logic..."
This [old man's TV] is quite retro. It can barely connect to the DV input, but the picture quality is not good. The colors are distorted, the sound is like the sting of an old bee, and occasionally there is snow on the screen.
Zhai Da watched carefully and found that he could still understand the content of the first year of high school easily... Well, it was limited to understanding. When encountering questions, it was a different matter.
He was not just testing the [equipment effect], he was also studying seriously and even took out a pen and paper to take notes.
Just like that, 60 minutes passed before I knew it.
Zhai Da rubbed his eyes and tilted his head in thought for a while...
There doesn't seem to be any special effects...
But I did learn something serious.
Let’s watch one more episode.
"Hello everyone... Today, we will discuss the second lecture of high school mathematics: functions and logarithms..."
The difficulty level was a bit high, and Zhai Da didn't want to miss the feeling of "learning well" just now, so he could only listen more carefully.
These contents are no longer taught in schools, but they are also indispensable cornerstones.
Before I knew it, another 60 minutes had passed...
Zhai Da frowned slightly...
I feel like I understand, but not completely.
Understand.
I was distracted in the middle and couldn't connect with the rest of the lesson. Does mathematics really follow the "eraser law"?
It's a bit of a pity.
"Hmm... Let's look at it again. I can't even understand functions, and I'm trying to figure out chicken-neck math."
"Hello everyone... Today, we will discuss the second lecture of high school mathematics: functions and exponents..."
Before I knew it, another 60 minutes had passed...
Zhai Da nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, I am indeed a genius. Not to mention solving exam questions, at least I understand the basic principles!
Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot and see where your limits are!
"Hello everyone... Today, we will discuss the third lecture of high school mathematics: logarithms and logarithmic functions..."
...
Yu Xiaoli chatted with her old sisters all day long, and her lips were numb, but it was also a rare social activity for her.
Topics mainly covered:
The connections needed to arrange for children to work in factories, the three links that children must go through to get into factories, the seven things to pay attention to when children enter factories, and the ten preparations that children who enter factories need to make in advance when looking for a partner.
When she got home and saw the sneakers at the door, she knew Zhai Da was at home and shouted:
"Xiao Da? Have you had dinner?"
There was no response from inside the house.
He shouldn't be asleep at this time, so Yu Xiaoli pushed open Zhai Da's door.
Just when I pushed the door halfway open, I saw Zhai Da facing the wardrobe sideways, sweating profusely, with a focused look in his eyes, staring at the wardrobe with headphones on.
Even my breathing became a little rapid.
Not being able to see clearly, nor daring to see clearly, Yu Xiaoli silently closed the door.
After a moment of silence, she muttered to herself, "Sister Liu is right... Xiaoda is a big boy now. Sometimes a mother has to be both deaf and blind."
So he went about his own business.
In this way, Zhai Da studied one after another from three in the afternoon to twelve in the morning.
I didn't do anything except going to the toilet and taking a shower.
Even when Lu Wei sent him a message to report that she had eaten seriously, Zhai Da did not reply.
Gradually, he realized that he seemed to have begun to be affected.
Of course, it is not the kind of "irrational obsession" that makes people lose their minds, but it is mixed with the idea of "the state is so good, let's ignore the system problems and learn first."
It is an addiction that can be "rationalized" by the brain.
This TV is quite interesting. The addiction level +300% is not a probability problem as previously guessed, but a kind of... cumulative feeling.
At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhai Da suddenly sat up from his sleep.
"The tangent function angle is not straight, and the cotangent function angle is not flat. This is what it means... The cosine value is 0, resulting in a denominator of 0..."
Zhai Da subconsciously wanted to turn on the TV again, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he retracted it.
Then there was a long silence.
"That's not right! I cheat so I don't have to work hard... I'm even more tired now that I'm cheating..."
"Isn't this cheat for nothing?"
