Chapter 310: Detonation (Part 2)

Watching Chu Yun, who had become excited as if he were having a seizure, his three roommates looked at each other, all feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Second-eldest, you haven't lost your mind, have you..."

Chu Yun muttered in a low voice, which the people beside him did not hear clearly; it was precisely because of this that they felt bewildered, having no idea what was wrong with their roommate.

Unfortunately, Chu Yun's brain was currently a bit over-excited, as if he hadn't heard the words of the people beside him. After staring down at the paper box in his hands for a short while, he immediately fumbled to tear off the layer of transparent wrapping paper on the outside of the box, and then opened it.

Wang Ning, Lin Zhengyu, and the others couldn't help but stretch their necks to look over. The moment the box was opened, they saw the items placed inside.

"A connecting cable, and a box the size of a palm? What is this thing?"

After seeing the items inside clearly, Lin Zhengyu couldn't help but curiously continue to ask.

As for what exactly Chu Yun had bought, he actually didn't have much expectation just by looking at the outer packaging. After all, in this era of eyeball economy, the saying that "good wine needs no bush" had long since vanished. Even Apple's products had specially designed packaging, and other commodities naturally followed suit, to the point where now, if you buy a phone case online for ten or twenty yuan, it comes with decent outer packaging.

The thing in Chu Yun's hands looked clean enough in terms of packaging, but it was just too simple. Inside, there was surprisingly only a connecting cable and a black box smaller than a palm, making it truly hard to figure out its purpose.

"This should be a portable hard drive..."

The moment he opened the box, Chu Yun frowned instead.

Although he had only started coming into contact with portable hard drives in the last two years, and had only purchased one 500G and one 1T hard drive to date, he couldn't be considered completely ignorant about them.

Therefore, upon seeing the box placed inside that was suspected to be a portable hard drive, his heart was greatly disappointed. "How could a 1T hard drive be this small? I said it, what stupid company would do such a money-losing thing as giving away a 1T hard drive for opening a permanent membership for 199 yuan..."

Feeling disappointed in his heart, the movements of his hands inevitably slowed down.

As a result, Wang Ning, watching from the side, grew anxious. He simply reached out, grabbed the box smaller than a palm, and took a closer look at the fox-face-shaped logo on the lid, which emitted the same metallic luster as the one on the paper box. He couldn't help but praise: "Is this a new portable flash drive you bought? How much memory does it have? Why is it so big?"

Chu Yun gave him a huffy look for his quick hands. Seeing a few slips of paper underneath the portable hard drive that looked like a warranty card and an introduction, he was just about to take them to look when he heard an exclamation from Lin Zhengyu beside him.

"Damn, a 1T hard drive? What brand is it? How is it so small?"

Chu Yun turned his head at the sound and realized that Wang Ning, seeing he hadn't paid him any mind, had started inspecting the palm-sized portable hard drive himself.

As it turned out, they actually saw a few lines of small print on the back of the portable hard drive, clearly marking information such as '1T' and 'Cybertron Technology'.

Seeing several roommates looking at him, they seemed to want him to confirm why this hard drive was so small.

Chu Yun shrugged helplessly. "Don't look at me. Do you remember the Cybertron Cloud Drive I mentioned to you a few days ago? This hard drive was a gift they sent when I opened a permanent membership for Cybertron Cloud Drive!"

The day before yesterday, after his Cybertron Cloud Drive suddenly popped up a notification that the membership function had gone live, Chu Yun had clicked in to take a look out of curiosity, and he was also half-believing and half-doubting the sky-high promotional slogans from the official Cybertron Cloud Drive.

Originally, Chu Yun was not in a hurry to open any membership function.

After all, he had only been using his Cybertron Cloud Drive for just over a week. Because he had performed real-name registration when signing up, his account had actually received a two-month trial period.

However, when he saw the official prompt that opening a permanent membership would gift a 1T portable hard drive, Chu Yun couldn't help but be tempted.

Especially since the official also promised delivery within two days in the Yangtze River Delta region. With a half-believing and half-doubting attitude, after hesitating for more than half an hour, he still couldn't resist and spent 199 yuan to open a permanent membership for Cybertron Cloud Drive.

"A gift?"

Wang Ning, Lin Zhengyu, and the third person looked at each other. Seeing Chu Yun nod, they passed the portable hard drive around to look at it, their faces all written with disbelief.

"Second-eldest, you haven't been scammed, have you? How could a 1T hard drive be this small..."

Indeed, Chu Yun took it and weighed it, feeling that it was not even as heavy as his Apple 4s phone, and the look of displeasure on his face became even more obvious.

Seeing this, the few roommates who were still spouting off couldn't help but close their mouths and began to offer awkward advice.

"Uh, it might not necessarily be a scam. Why don't you plug it into the computer and try it out..."

"Yeah, why are we guessing? What if it's real..."

After the few of them gave some advice, Chu Yun thought that was true. For the moment, he suppressed the boiling displeasure in his heart, started his laptop, took the connecting cable, untied it, and prepared to connect the portable hard drive to test it.

The moment he connected it to the computer, Chu Yun subconsciously looked at the USB port, and the note '3.0' was clearly visible.

The moment it was inserted into the laptop interface, a simple page immediately popped up on his computer desktop: "Cybertron portable hard drive requires the installation of custom driver software to facilitate faster data reading and writing. Do you want to install it?"

Chu Yun glanced at the antivirus software in the bottom right corner of the computer, which had no reaction, and clicked install without hesitation.

In an instant, the progress bar finished, and then he saw 'My Computer' pop up automatically, with a new hard drive icon appearing on it.

With a sudden weight on his shoulder, Chu Yun turned his head to look and saw that his roommates had crowded over and stretched their necks to watch the excitement; he didn't know who had pressed their hand on his shoulder.

He didn't bother with it anymore, clicked directly on the newly appeared hard drive icon, right-clicked to open the properties, and his eyes widened.

At the same time, several exclamations rang out in unison.

"Damn, is it really 1000G?"

"It really is a 1T hard drive..."

"No, no, no, maybe it's fake memory... Second-eldest, put some things in to see..."

The exclamations of his roommates left Chu Yun with no time to be happy.

He nodded, thought for a moment, and clicked on the hard drive in 'My Computer' marked 'Classic Collection'. After taking a quick look, he selected a super-clear movie marked as 4.2G, right-clicked to copy it, and was just about to exit and paste it into the portable hard drive when he didn't expect that at this moment, another prompt box popped up on his computer operation interface.

"Cybertron portable hard drive prompt: You have just copied 【North African Campaign】. Do you want to transfer it into the portable hard drive?"

"There's an operation like this?"

He clicked confirm with interest. The next second, a progress bar appeared on the prompt box, and it only lasted for less than two seconds before ending, replaced by a 'ding' sound indicating the data transfer was complete.

Chu Yun hurriedly exited from the 'Classic Collection' hard drive and clicked on the portable hard drive icon again.

The next moment, a movie labeled 【North African Campaign】 was lying quietly inside the empty hard drive.
