The Empress's First Computer

A few days later, a brand-new ocean-view gaming PC was set up in the living room. Its pristine white casing resembled a spotless white lotus, as perfect as a magnificent treasure.

"Perfect!"

Lin Fan and Zhou Yan high-fived each other in front of the computer, filled with pride over assembling it together.

After placing the order a few days prior, all the computer and streaming accessories had arrived one by one over the past few days.

Since they didn't have an extra computer desk at home, they had specially ordered a custom gaming desk and chair set for Long Yue.

Once all the components were ready, the two of them, following tutorials, carefully assembled everything. It took nearly a full day to finish setting up the desk, chair, and computer streaming equipment, resulting in the brand-new computer before them.

Looking at the new, luxurious computer tower, Lin Fan then glanced back at the old machine in the bedroom that had accompanied him for countless years, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

The specifications of this computer were countless times better than his old one. The price of just the graphics card alone was enough to build five or six of his old computers...

This was truly an extravagant first computer prepared for the Empress.

Fortunately, the cost of this computer didn't come out of his own pocket. Zhou Yan had covered the entire expense, claiming it was "a small investment and sponsorship for you two as a couple."

Although he said that, anyone with eyes could see that Zhou Yan knew about their current financial difficulties. Once they bought this computer, they would have to start eating plain air. So, he simply found an excuse to help them out.

"Sister-in-law, Lin Fan and I picked out this computer together. What do you think, are you satisfied?" Zhou Yan turned around and asked Long Yue with a smile.

"Mhm, thank you so much. Your kindness... I will definitely remember it!"

Long Yue bowed deeply to Zhou Yan with a solemn expression, expressing her gratitude.

This was the first time since she became Empress that she felt such profound gratitude towards someone!

This benefactor in front of her had saved their family over forty thousand yuan!

Without his generous help, spending that forty thousand yuan would have pained her for at least several weeks, and she might not have even been able to afford instant noodles, living on plain rice with pickled vegetables...

He had previously sponsored Lin Fan with forty thousand yuan, which helped them overcome their family's financial crisis.

At this moment, he was their savior!

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be so formal. We're family."

Zhou Yan was taken aback by Long Yue's solemn gratitude and waved his hand with a smile.

Lin Fan stood by, smiling without saying a word.

To have the Empress remember your kindness so deeply was not a privilege everyone received.

Now, even when Zhou Yan called her sister-in-law, she didn't seem to get angry or hold it against him...

"The computer is set up. I'll help you install the system too."

Lin Fan sat down at the computer desk, inserted the system USB drive he had prepared into the computer's main unit, and then pressed the power button.

As the power button was pressed, the main unit hummed with the sound of the fans spinning, and colorful lights illuminated with the rotation of the fans.

The moment the screen lit up, he quickly pressed a shortcut key to enter the system installation interface and began installing the operating system step by step.

Long Yue watched quietly from the side, her heart filled with curiosity and awe.

She hadn't been idle these past few days either. Under Lin Fan's guidance, she had been learning about the basic functions and knowledge of computers. The more she learned, the more shocked she became.

A small CPU or even a common, inexpensive graphics card was made up of extremely precise electronic components.

And by combining these electronic components, computers with various functions could be assembled!

Like a mobile phone, separated only by a screen, it could accomplish all sorts of things!

It was hard to imagine that such intricate and complex treasures were all crafted by mortals...

A single mobile phone had already astonished her, and the appearance of this computer had once again redefined her understanding of mortals.

In her impression, mortals only knew how to farm and labor, struggling their entire lives for sustenance and survival, existing as insignificant beings. But the mortals here were completely different from what she had seen before.

Since ancient times, the Immortal Realm had countless master artifact refiners, but in the vast tens of thousands of years, none had ever crafted such a treasure...

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Under Long Yue's gaze of shock and reverence, Lin Fan quickly finished installing the system and drivers, and a truly usable, complete computer was born.

"Alright, the system and drivers are all installed. It's ready to use. Give it a try."

Lin Fan stood up, moved away from the seat, and smiled as he invited Long Yue.

Long Yue slowly sat down in front of the computer, gently stroking the keyboard and mouse. A strange flutter of excitement rose within her.

This was her first computer in this world...

"Next, let's download some essential software. Open this browser."

Lin Fan pointed to the browser icon on the screen and instructed.

Long Yue awkwardly moved the mouse cursor to the browser and clicked it lightly. Seeing no response, she clicked again. Still, there was no reaction.

Seeing that her two clicks had yielded no results, she suddenly became a little anxious.

Had she broken this computer, worth over forty thousand yuan, the moment she started using it!

If that happened, she would be consumed by guilt!

Seeing Long Yue's anxious expression, Lin Fan couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Computer software and what's on mobile phones are different. A single click isn't enough; you need to double-click the left mouse button twice in a row to open it."

"Oh! Really, it opened!"

Following Lin Fan's instructions to double-click the left mouse button to open the browser, Long Yue's inner anxiety subsided, and her pretty face was filled with joy.

"Next, type the software name into the search bar."

"There are so many web links. Is it this one...?"

"No, that's an advertisement. Ignore anything marked as an advertisement in the bottom corner."

"This is the official website. Click on it, then click download."

"Oh..."

"I heard people online say it's best to install 360 antivirus software on your computer. Should we install it?"

"...No need. That stuff is bloatware. The firewall that comes with the computer is enough."

"Why did you install everything on the C drive by default?"

"Can't I?"

"Fine... your memory is so large you'll never use it all anyway..."

Under Lin Fan's step-by-step instructions, which were almost like he was chewing the food for her and feeding it into her mouth, Long Yue gradually installed the necessary software on the computer.

When she encountered something she didn't know how to operate, Lin Fan would place his hands over hers from behind, helping her control the mouse to operate and explain.

Although he could have done it all for her in one go, she would need to stream by herself in the future, so it was better to let her operate the computer more and get familiar with it.

Watching Lin Fan and Long Yue teaching hand-in-hand, acting intimately, Zhou Yan suddenly felt like he was a bit superfluous standing there.

They were ignoring his presence like this...?

Even though he knew their relationship was loving, they should at least be mindful of others' feelings!

"Ding dong!"

At this moment, Zhou Yan's mobile phone suddenly emitted a message notification sound.

Hearing the sound, Lin Fan and Long Yue finally remembered that Zhou Yan was still beside them and turned to look at him together.

Zhou Yan opened his phone and his expression immediately lit up with joy.

"Oh! Perfect timing!"

"Sister-in-law, your character illustration is ready!"
