Chapter 50: The Cement is a Little Loose (Revised)
After walking Feng Nanshu, Jiang Qin returned to the dormitory in the night. As soon as he opened the door, a cloud of smoke rushed at him, causing him to retreat a few steps.
"Did you guys set the dormitory on fire while I was gone?" Jiang Qin's eyebrows shot up.
Zhou Chao chuckled, "Jiang Ge, why are you back so late?"
"Something came up, went out for dinner."
Jiang Qin walked in, fanned the air a couple of times, and after a closer look, he noticed that Zhou Chao was playing on his phone, Cao Guangyu was still posting like crazy, and the source of the smoke was Ren Ziqiang.
This guy was sitting on his chair, staring blankly at the night outside the window, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, a slipper dangling from his raised left foot, and cigarette butts all over the floor. He looked very decadent, and the light in his eyes was gone.
This scene looked familiar, Fire Cloud Evil God?
Jiang Qin looked at Zhou Chao with a strange expression, "What's wrong with Lao Ren? Cultivating immortality?"
"He wanted to ask Pan Xiu out today, but he found out that Pan Xiu was getting hot and heavy with a senior from our department, being all ambiguous, and..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Jiang Qin immediately stopped him, with a righteous expression, "Lao Ren must be feeling very bitter right now. You still want to help him remember it again. That's very immoral!"
Zhou Chao immediately shut up after hearing this, and Ren Ziqiang gave him a grateful look.
Liking someone isn't shameful, but watching the person you like being flirted with by another man, and then being ridiculed by your roommates, would make anyone feel bad.
Jiang Qin changed his clothes, turned on his computer, and started checking the website after entering the administrator backend.
Shi Miaomiao had already gotten her account and started serializing her original novel, with an initial release of 30,000 words, but because the platform had no real users, she didn't get any feedback.
In addition, the Literary Society led by Dong Wenhao had opened an internal account and was uploading manuscripts one after another.
The most awesome one was Cao Guangyu. Even though he wasn't getting paid, his "My Simple and Unadorned Rich Second Generation Life" series had already been updated to the 35th post.
Jiang Qin clicked in and took a quick look.
This Cao Guangyu was no longer satisfied with real bragging and had started stealing pictures online to show off.
In the red wine chapter, Lao Cao said that Lafite was just a little brother, and he usually drank it by the bottle. A real man should drink Romanée-Conti, the most pinnacle red wine from France's oldest winery.
In the luxury watch chapter, Lao Cao said that Rolexes were only worn by nouveau riche, and he usually liked to buy Patek Philippe. He also liked Patek Philippe's advertising slogan: "You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation."
In the campus belle girlfriend chapter, Lao Cao said that he was being pursued madly by the high school campus belle, which was very distressing because he preferred his own celestial-level cutie, but the high school campus belle was desperately clinging to him, refusing to let go, and he was asking netizens online for help on what he should do.
Jiang Qin was slightly stunned, thinking, Why am I looking in the mirror again? "Lao Jiang, when will this website be able to post videos? I want to upload a fitness video showing off my abs." Cao Guangyu suddenly turned his head.
Jiang Qin was stunned, "You have abs?"
"I have hands, I can download."
"Heh, you're even mixing Chinese and English, that's really enough bragging. The video function will have to wait, it's still in development."
Cao Guangyu pouted, looking a little regretful. Without being able to post videos, this sense of superiority couldn't reach its peak.
Jiang Qin ignored him and turned back to check the backend data. As he was looking, he suddenly noticed a real account that had been registered a minute ago—Magic Eye Girl Feng Nanshu.
"?"
Oh right, he had asked their dormitory to help test the website during dinner. Feng Nanshu probably took it to heart, so she registered an account as soon as she got back.
Jiang Qin crossed his legs, drinking cola while staring at the screen, planning to see what the little rich woman was going to post.
This was the internet. For those with authority, no internet user had any privacy online.
What hiding, not visible to so-and-so, only visible to oneself, were all bullshit. In the eyes of the administrator, they were all like illusions.
Magic Eye Girl Feng Nanshu: "What to do if I'm a little scared?"
After triggering the keyword [what to do], the automatic reply program immediately took effect.
Reply 1: "Don't worry, you're so great, you can definitely do it! Add oil!"
Reply 2: "Believe in yourself, don't hesitate!"
Magic Eye Girl Feng Nanshu: "What to do if I'm not good at chatting with people?"
Reply 1: "Don't worry, you're so great, you can definitely do it! Add oil!"
"Believe in yourself, don't hesitate!"
Seeing this, Jiang Qin almost sprayed his Coke out of his nostrils.
He discovered that these automatic reply panaceas had a significant loophole: triggering the same keywords consecutively would yield nearly identical answers.
This wouldn't do; he had to get Su Nai to fix it before the promotion.
Meanwhile, the little rich woman was still posting questions, seemingly unaware of the oddity of the replies, or perhaps she hadn't seen them yet due to system lag.
Magic Eye Girl Feng Nanshu: "What should I do if I want to go out with a boy every day?"
Magic Eye Girl Feng Nanshu: "What's with the itchy feeling in my heart when I go out with a boy?"
Seeing this, Jiang Qin suddenly put down his legs, his eyes slightly dazed, a strange feeling in his heart making him slightly restless.
Magic Eye Girl Feng Nanshu: "Can best friends live together for a lifetime?"
Magic Eye Girl Feng Nanshu: "Do you think the name Jiang Qin sounds nice?"
After the latest two questions appeared, Feng Nanshu seemed to realize that the replies on this website were a bit off, so she didn't ask any new questions.
Jiang Qin looked at those questions, couldn't help but chuckle softly, then felt a little lost for a moment, and quickly ignored the ripples in his heart.
I won't even talk about love, making money is the only way. Don't think about those messy things.
Jiang Qin opened QQ and gave Su Nai feedback on the problem he had just discovered, asking her to modify the automatic replies to avoid the same replies being generated after keywords were triggered consecutively.
After chatting, Jiang Qin planned to turn off the computer and go to sleep, but found that Feng Nanshu's account had lit up again.
Magic Eye Girl Feng Nanshu: "Can you tell me what love is?"
Jiang Qin's breathing hitched slightly, and he immediately turned off the computer.
Crap, the seal on my heart seems to be loosening.
No, no, I need to find some Cement Sealed Heart.
"Old Zhou, tell me again what Ren Ziqiang encountered just now, the more detailed the better, the more heartbreaking the better!"
Ren Ziqiang suddenly looked up, his whole face green: "I'm already so sad, Old Jiang, how can you do this? You're being immoral!"
Jiang Qin spat at him: "Did you think about morality when you told Pan Xiu that I chased other people for three years? Hurry up, Old Zhou, quick!"
"Okay!" Zhou Chao felt super excited.
He was from the South, with a heavy dialect accent, but you have to admit, this little accent made the story quite interesting.
According to him, this morning Ren Ziqiang sprayed a full half-catty of hair gel, mustered up the courage to ask Pan Xiu out, but as soon as he arrived at the girls' dormitory building, he saw Pan Xiu chatting and laughing with a senior at the door, even her shoulder strap was almost showing.
Ren Ziqiang was deflated at the time, and went back to the dormitory and started smoking desperately, making the whole dormitory seem like it was on fire.
"Pan Xiu is something else, she's already met a senior before the military training is over?"
After listening, Jiang Qin felt stable, Cement Sealed Heart, love is indeed illusory, making money is the right path.
So great! I'll have Old Zhou tell it again tomorrow morning, it'll probably energize me for the whole day.
