Chapter 57 The devil also learned bad things
Zhang Wei did not choose to return to Tsinghua University, mainly because he still couldn't bear to repeat the one million bonus offered by the institution.

The college entrance examination only happens once a year, and you can only get the chance to do something once a year. How can you give up so easily?

In 2004, the purchasing power of one million was many times higher than what it would be twenty years later.

And Zhang Wei can't think of any other way to get 100 million for free.

There was no World Cup in 2004 and you couldn't get rich buying lottery tickets.

There was no Bitcoin in 2004, and you couldn't become a billionaire with a cost of a few hundred dollars.

In 2004, there were no short videos or live broadcasts to sell goods. Even Internet celebrities known to the whole country could not make money!
The only way to create wealth is by taking the college entrance examination.

As for studying at Tsingta University, Zhang Wei has no worries at all.

Professor Situ was willing to give away 170 long-legged girls. Was he afraid that he would not be able to return to Qingda University?
Furthermore, if I wait for the college entrance examination in the summer and get a score of 750, I can still get a scholarship of yuan from Tsinghua University.

There are less than three months left before this year's college entrance examination. Calculating it this way, if you wait three more months and earn more than one million, it must be quite a deal!
Back at the rental house, Zhang Wei opened the drawer and took out the graphene sample.

"They're all here!" Zhang Wei said, taking one for himself, and then said: "Leave one for me as a souvenir! Take the rest!"

"Slow down! Little ancestor! Don't drop it on the ground!" Wu Yuanchao directed his research institute and carefully put the graphene sample into the sample box, not forgetting to lock it.

For Tsinghua University, this is not only a few graphene samples, but also tens of millions of scientific research funds in the future!
After seeing off Wu Yuanchao, Zhang Wei glanced around the rental house. He hadn't returned for many days, and a lot of dust had fallen in the room.

In the spring of 2004, sandstorms were particularly severe. There were many cases of yellow sand filling the sky in Beijing. Even if the doors and windows of rental houses were usually closed, it was still difficult to block the dust floating in the air, and eventually settled inside the house.

"Let's clean it up!" Zhang Wei took out a mop and rag and spent half an hour cleaning it hastily.

After working, of course, you need to relax. These days, there is no app for girls to come to your home for massage. Zhang Wei can only walk to the computer and plan to surf the Internet.

But after turning on the computer, I discovered that I had not paid the Internet fee this month and the Internet was cut off.

There was no mobile payment in 2004. It was impossible to pay phone bills and Internet bills with a mobile phone like now. To re-open the Internet, you still need to go to the business office.

"It's really troublesome!" Zhang Wei, who had just finished his work, didn't want to move at all and was too lazy to go to the business hall. He simply played Heroes of Might and Magic 3, a stand-alone game that is older than those born in 00 and can be played without an Internet connection.

The random super map is the highest difficulty. The Ghost Prince starts the game and stacks skeletons slowly. It goes smoothly at the beginning. As the game progresses, the troops increase and the game becomes a bit laggy.

"Why can't I even launch Heroes of Might and Magic 3? This configuration shouldn't be used! Is it infected by a virus?"

At that time, Internet viruses were not as destructive as Panda Burning Incense. Some viruses are designed to steal game accounts, while others are just rogue plug-ins that automatically modify the homepage and pop up pop-ups from time to time.

But these viruses can definitely slow down your computer.

The anti-virus software of that era was also very expensive. Buying a genuine set of Rising anti-virus cost more than a month's living expenses for an average college student, and the price of Kaspersky was double that.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but miss the days of 360. Although 360 was more rogue than rogue software, 360 also made computer viruses disappear.

Now Zhang Wei was not short of the few hundred dollars, but after thinking about it carefully, it was better to save whatever he could, so he picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number of a high-quality human male.

"Brother Haotian, I'm in a rental house. My computer seems to be infected with a virus. Come over and help me fix it!"

"You want to come to me for such a small matter? Can't you handle it yourself?"

"Aren't you the first in the department in computer science? I'm the last in the department. Who else would I be looking for if I wasn't looking for you?" Zhang Wei quickly praised me.

"My grades in any subject are not the first in the department!" Ye Haotian was still very flattered, and he continued: "Wait for me, I will go over now."

As expected of true love, only twenty minutes later, Concubine Ye ran to the rental house in a hurry.

He took out a CD and put it into the CD-ROM drive: "I will install the latest version of anti-virus software for you."

"Genuine?"

"Using genuine anti-virus software? Who are you looking down on? It must be cracked."

Ye Haotian continued, "The CD I borrowed from Senior Brother Chen contains the software that Senior Brother Chen often uses. He carved a disk himself and it contains anti-virus software."

The optical drive starts running and a new window appears on the desktop. "Senior Brother Chen usually uses so many softwares!" Zhang Wei looked at the icons in the new window. Many of the softwares he didn't recognize.

"Senior Brother Chen, we believe that he has good computer skills. He also restored the graphene experimental data you deleted before." Ye Haotian introduced.

At this time, Zhang Wei also noticed one of the icons. Drawn on the icon was a "2P-1" symbol, and the name below it was Prime95.exe.

"Does Senior Brother Chen also play GIMPS?" Zhang Wei asked, pointing to the icon.

"Do you still know what this is for?"

"Are you looking down on me? This is a software for calculating Mersenne prime numbers. The full name seems to be Mersenne Prime Search or something."

"Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search! GIMPS for short." Ye Haotian said.

"He is indeed a high-quality human male. He has a good brain and can remember his full name."

"What's so difficult about this? It's just like your name is Zhang Wei. If someone else says it once, you still can't remember it!"

"That's because my name is Zhang Wei, and hundreds of thousands of people across the country are named Zhang Wei, so you find it easy to remember. If my name is Alexander Nicholas Valentin Andreas Gustav Eli Keson DeGarza Aldrete von Zhangwei, can you still remember it?"

"Remember, Alexander-Nicolas-Valentin-Andreas-Gustav-Eriksson-Degarza-Aldret-von-Zhangwei! Right?"

Concubine Ye repeated it immediately, and then looked at Zhang Wei eagerly, waiting for the big devil's praise.

"You're awesome! I just made it up casually, and I couldn't even remember it after I made it up!"

Zhang Wei stretched out his thumb and gave a thumbs up, satisfying Concubine Ye's little wish to be pampered.

……

After sending Ye Haotian away, Zhang Wei immediately summoned the devil.

"Devil, you should have Mersenne primes there, right?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Yes! Do you want to trade?" the devil replied.

"How to trade?"

"Eat ten raw eggs and I'll tell you a Mersenne prime number."

"There's no other choice? Didn't there always be three choices in the past?"

"The things being traded are too cheap to talk nonsense to you." The devil's tone was full of disgust.

"Why don't you ask, what if I am willing to exchange my lifespan for it?"

"It's just a number. I'm too lazy to talk to you." The devil continued impatiently: "Will you change it or not? If not, I'll leave."

"Change! Definitely change!"

"Then go and eat ten raw eggs, I tell you."

"I think eating raw eggs is a bit disgusting. By the way, are you trying to trick me on purpose?"

"That's right. I didn't complete the KPI last month. I'm in a bad mood. Find someone to sort it out."

"Brother Devil, you've learned too much!"

"20 raw eggs!"

"No, let's go with 10! When you are a devil, you have to keep your word, and you can't change your mind with every spit, and you can't change your mind. Just wait, I will go to the supermarket to buy raw eggs now!"

 Those born in the 00s probably have never played old games like Heroes of Invincibility 3, and not many born in the 90s have played them. After all, when those born in the 90s started playing computer games, they had entered the Internet age and started playing online games. When those born in the 80s were able to play stand-alone games when they were young, they were all good at it, while those who were not good at it all went to arcades to play. By the way, how many of you have played Warcraft?
