Chapter 149: The Best Optical Computer
Wang Wen and Li stayed up late that night and discussed it several times.
They imagined and planned for the future.
They could not sleep until dawn.
A phone call awakened Wang Wen.
In a daze, he picked up the phone.
The voice on the other end of the phone was Chen Hansheng. “Mr. Wang, the optical computer has arrived. Where should I send it to you?”
When Wang Wen heard that, he immediately perked up. When he stood up, he noticed that the sky was already bright, and Li He was nowhere to be found.
The only person in the small room was himself.
“Send it to the academy,” he said to Chen Hansheng.
Wang Wen stretched after hanging up the phone.
The reward on the 300th floor was not exaggerated. Previously, if he dared to sleep on the table for a night like that, he would most likely experience back pain and neck cramps.
However, he woke up that day and was fine.
He was completely unharmed, save for a bit of drowsiness that he could not bear to let go of.
Wang Wen decided to return to his dormitory to catch up on his sleep after he was done with the optical computer.
He decided to start with brunch and dinner nearby.
He walked out of the dormitory without seeing Li He. Instead, he noticed some construction workers rebuilding the collapsed Dean’s office in the distance.
After that, he concluded that the optical computer would not arrive so soon, so he exited the school gate and went across the street to eat at a small restaurant.
That restaurant’s pork rib casserole was delicious. It was his favorite spot when he was still in school.
The only regret was that it cost 36 points for a bowl. In the past, he could not bear to eat it. He rarely returned after leaving school, so he never had the chance to eat it.
He was relieved that he could order a bowl of it to satisfy his craving.
While eating the casserole, Wang Wen looked at the academy’s gate.
The delivery man mentioned by Chen Hansheng should arrive soon, as expected.
He was, after all, the CEO of a large corporation. He could not stick to Wang Wen’s buttocks and run errands for him daily.
In addition, the other person apologized and stated that he was selecting a resource team member who would be dependable and suitable for the job.
That was very reasonable. Wang Wen was not a harsh individual. He would not insist on the other party personally delivering the goods.
Anyone could deliver the goods if the optical computer were in good working order.
A young man walked to the academy’s entrance not long after, as expected. He was holding something in one hand and his phone in the other as if about to make a phone call.
Wang Wen quickly paid the bill with the shop’s cashier robot. He approached the young man while holding his phone. He greeted the young man as soon as his phone rang.
However, even when Wang Wen approached the young man, his phone did not ring.
Perhaps he did not recognize him.
However, he saw the young man take the optical computer from the packaging bag in the exquisite gift box.
He noticed the young man taking a selfie while holding the phone in one hand and the optical computer gift box in the other. He had no intention of making a phone call.
Wang Wen could only stand by the sidelines and await the call.
From his vantage point, he could see the young man posting the selfie.
The young man typed. [The seller can save some of these fancy packaging fees and give me a discount.] It was a picture of the young man holding the optical box in his hand with a slightly helpless expression. [What a waste of money!]
The young man confirmed that there was no problem with the picture before he uploaded it to his social media account.
Wang Wen, who was standing nearby, noticed it when the young man received a comment.
The first comment was full of exclamation marks. [Holy sh*t!!!!!” Brother Qiang is fantastic! He purchased an optical computer! What kind of model is that? It is breathtaking!!!!]
When he saw the comments, the young man burst out laughing. His excited expression calmed as he typed a response. [Don’t ask. I have already depleted more than half of my savings. I am going to eat dirt next!]
The second comment appeared quickly as well.
The commenter appeared to know the young man. It seemed like they were good friends, and he sounded surprised. [Let’s not talk about whether or not it is beautiful. I have never seen anything like that before! Is it a new model?]
After reading it, the young man frowned. He did not respond right away. Instead, he lowered his gaze and carefully examined the optical computer box in his hand.
He even shook it.
The friends on his phone appeared to know each other, and the conversation quickly devolved into a squabble.
Someone mocked the others. [You mean you have never seen this model? You speak as if you have seen every model. “I even doubt that you can afford optical computers.]
Another comment. [I simply can’t afford it. I already have two at home! I don’t know my father’s model, but mine cost thousands of points. I am not sure what model Xiao Qiang has. Anyway, it is either a low-quality or a standard model, so what other options will you have? Even if he went to work in the World Tower right after graduation, it would not be enough, would it?]
Another comment. [You’re just jealous. Why can’t Brother Qiang earn money if he can do it? Don’t complain about other people if you can’t have it.]
Another person commented. [Shut the F*ck up! I double-checked the information. If I am not mistaken, that optical computer is the most expensive model, costing 12 million points!]
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
The young man, holding his phone, watched as the comments went crazy. He sweated profusely.
He was only working for the Boai Group; he was there to deliver something.
He knew it was a gift for the group’s VIP guest, and he also knew it contained an optical computer.
He initially assumed that because it was a gift from the group to the guest—a standard model that costs tens of thousands of points. An ordinary worker like him could only deliver an item like that.
He thought he could use it to show off.
He had no idea that a simple gift box would be worth more than ten million points.
That was excessive.
If he kept pretending, he would almost certainly be struck by lightning.
The young man’s hand speed was extremely fast, and he sent a text message to his friends. [Originally, I was just casually complaining. I had no idea it would spark a fight among my friends. I am in a lot of pain, so it is best if I keep a low profile. I removed it.]
Then he quietly deleted the post that boasted about his so-called wealth.
After dealing with that, the young man wiped his sweat and stood at the academy’s entrance, staring in a daze at the distant sky.
Wang Wen, who had been watching from start to finish, felt sorry for him.
He turned around and walked into the academy, pretending he did not know anything.
His phone rang quickly after that.
Wang Wen answered the phone and heard a young man say, “Is this Mr. Wang? I am a member of the Boai Group. The CEO requested that I send you something. I am already at the academy’s entrance. Do you require me to bring it in?”
“Is it the front entrance? Please wait for me to come and get it.” Wang Wen hung up the phone and strolled toward the entrance, watching the construction team in the Dean’s office.
When he arrived at the academy’s gate and saw the young man, he smiled as if it was the first time they had met. “Hello, my name is Wang Wen. Did you call me?”
The young man enthusiastically nodded and bowed. “Yes, yes,” he said to Wang Wen. “The CEO has directed that I deliver it to you. Your name is correct, but just to be sure, I will call your phone number again, alright?”
Wang Wen motioned with his phone.
The cautious young man dialed the number. He then handed the bag to Wang Wen, signaling that he had finished his task.
Wang Wen thanked him with a smile.
Wang Wen carefully opened the package of the optical computer. He removed the optical computer, the manual, and other items from the package. The young man was given the remainder of the random gifts and the gift box. “It has been difficult for you to come all the way here,” he said. “These small gifts appear to be very useful. If you don’t mind, consider it a reward for your efforts.”
“There is no need for that.” The young man was terrified and kept waving his hands.
He would have felt humiliated if someone had offered him a box of something before that.
However, he had just shown off his wealth, and he went online to double-check the specifications of that top-fitting optical computer.
He knew that even a random gift could cost tens of thousands of points.
Thousands upon thousands of points!
He refused to accept it.
