Chapter 71 Threadripper 9995WX! You put my BYD on the table?
Zhou Lang and Shen Wanrou waited at the entrance for a while, and Tian Wei walked over from the school gate and appeared in front of them.
This female college student majoring in flight suits seems to have another event today, as she is wearing a China Southern Airlines flight attendant uniform.
She wore a hibiscus red V-neck short-sleeved uniform top, a purple, white and gray striped pencil skirt, and black round-toe flat shoes.
With her youthful and sweet appearance, her hairstyle, a low bun reminiscent of a flight attendant's attire, creates a charming contrast, like a little sister cosplaying a mature woman.
Zhou Lang smiled at Tian Wei: "Just like your sister-in-law, sometimes she's in a hurry and doesn't have time to change her clothes, so she runs out in her uniform."
Shen Wanrou reached behind Zhou Lang's waist without making a sound and gently pinched the soft flesh of his waist.
Come to think of it, it's true. Several times when I saw him, he was wearing the uniform of a customer service representative at the sales office.
However, it seems he quite enjoys watching it...
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Tian Wei greeted him softly, then suddenly froze.
Calling them that... it makes it sound like they're a couple...
She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and looked at the sign at the shop entrance: "Brother, are you here to get a computer set up?"
"There's a model car I brought for you in the car. I'll give it to you when we eat later."
Zhou Lang said, "I originally just wanted to browse around here, but seeing this store has sparked my shopping desire—my computer still has a 4060 graphics card."
"Brother, you bought a laptop for your sister, but haven't bought one for yourself yet, right?"
Tian Wei walked over to Shen Wanrou and took her arm: "Sister-in-law, why don't you give him some advice? It seems like you don't know much about this either."
"I just missed you, so I hitched a ride with your brother Zhou Lang to come see you."
Shen Wanrou tapped Tian Wei's nose with her finger: "You guys go ahead and shop. I know nothing about computers, so I'll just treat you to lunch."
Zhou Lang led the two women, the aunt and sister-in-law, into the "Computer Assembly University Animal" shop.
A mountain of empty computer parts boxes lay piled up, and four male college students huddled at the innermost table, each playing a single-player game.
Zhou Lang glanced at them; they were playing Crusader Kings III, Civilization VI, Heroes of Might and Magic III, and Red Alert 2, respectively.
"Wow, it feels like a group of brothers from the same dorm are running an account business while also setting up their own internet cafe in the dorm."
Zhou Lang felt like he was being pulled back to his university dormitory. If he and his roommates had had this kind of setup back then, it's hard to say whether they would have been able to graduate on time and receive their dual degrees.
"Hello, are you here to build a computer or buy a keyboard and mouse?"
The boy playing Heroes of Might and Magic paused the game and got up to greet Zhou Lang and his two companions.
He saw Tian Wei's China Southern Airlines uniform and smiled: "So you're also a flight attendant major? My roommate's girlfriend is from your college, and she just bought a computer for a flight attendant girl yesterday."
"I didn't build the computer." Tian Wei lightly poked Zhou Lang with her finger. "This is my brother. He wanted to come and check out the specs first."
Zhou Lang glanced around and saw a white ocean-view computer case and a pile of parts waiting to be assembled on the large square table in the middle of the store.
Through the system interface for the [Store Malfunction], Zhou Lang saw that there was an additional price bar above the pile of items.
[Product Name: 5090 Graphics Card + 9800X3D CPU PC Build Package, Original Price 4 Yuan]
[Store pricing malfunction! "Decimal point shifted 6 places to the front!"]
[Do you want to purchase this item at the abnormal price of 0.04 yuan?]
"Getting a flagship PC with a 5090 graphics card for just five cents? That price is beyond 'a steal'..."
Zhou Lang was filled with emotion.
He had a greedy idea of trying to swallow an elephant—unfortunately, the store was malfunctioning this time, and the computer was only available from this computer assembly school, so at best he could only buy a computer for free.
If the store that triggers the sale is a real estate sales center, and the house costs millions (with the decimal point moved six places to the front), he can buy a big house for just a few coins.
Of course, he was only slightly disappointed.
He was quite satisfied to be able to buy a top-of-the-line consumer computer for just a few cents today, and he gave the system a huge thumbs up.
The store malfunction, as a form of Prismatic rank currency, is particularly powerful because it causes abnormal prices to appear every two days.
There will be plenty of opportunities to snag bargains at incredibly low prices in the future.
Today, let's focus on the top-of-the-line home computer in front of us.
Looking at Zhou Lang, it's easy to tell that he's a few years older than the students and is probably a well-off office worker.
"Old Bian, get some water for the guests!"
He nudged his friend next to him, who was engrossed in CK3.
The boy named Lao Bian got up grumbling and went to get three bottles of iced tea and three bottles of iced dew: "Drinks and water, choose your own."
The shop owner brought out a Surface tablet with a pre-set Excel spreadsheet on it. Users could input and select settings, and the total price would be displayed directly.
"Brother, what price range are you looking for?"
The shop owner asked, "Or, you can tell me what games you want to play and what kind of productivity you want to use it for, and I'll recommend a budget and configuration. It's okay if you don't buy it; you can compare prices with other shops. My price is definitely the most affordable."
Zhou Lang said, "Go all out on the budget, let's go for the highest-end option in your store."
"Shall we go with this one?" The shop owner pointed to the computer case in the ocean-view room. "Around 50,000 yuan. If you'd like me to film a build video, I'll give you a discount on the build fee."
"Is there anything higher than this?" Zhou Lang asked.
The shop owner pointed at the tablet screen: "The 9800X3D is the best choice for gaming. If you want to spend a little more, then switch to the 9950X3D, which can also handle professional productivity, and pair it with the ROG full suite."
"However, the price is high, starting at fifty or sixty thousand, and for nice custom designs, it can go up to one hundred thousand."
Zhou Lang paused for a moment, considering whether his next words were a bit provocative.
"It's still a bit cheap... Do you have anything more expensive?"
Zhou Lang said, "A higher premium is fine, and being flashy but impractical is fine too, the main thing is to be expensive."
The shop owner pushed up his glasses, looking like a bully being tormented by Lu Zhishen, almost as if he was about to blurt out, "Are you making fun of me?"
Shen Wanrou, who was behind him, couldn't help but chuckle as she reached out and nudged his back: "Is this how you buy things?"
"It's like Sun Wukong arriving at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, picking out weapons, one after another, all too light."
The shop owner confirmed again, "Brother, are you really not on a budget?"
"Yeah, mainly for playing games, and secondarily for editing videos," Zhou Lang said with a smile. "I know that's a need. The specs you just mentioned are more than enough."
"But I," Zhou Lang made up a reason on the spot, "well, someone will reimburse me, so I might as well take advantage of it."
"Then I'll go get the magic staff, wait a moment."
The shop owner went under the table at the back and opened a small lockable cabinet.
Take out a large boxed CPU from inside.
"Brother, this is the most luxurious item I have in stock, the best I can get my hands on."
Zhou Lang took a closer look.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9995WX.
The top-of-the-line consumer-grade CPUs I just mentioned, the 9800X3D and 9950X3D, are priced at three to four thousand yuan.
The one on the table, nicknamed "The Town Ripper," is priced at 90,000 yuan.
"Wait, can I take a picture?"
A snap.
Tian Wei curiously leaned closer.
As Zhou Lang sent the picture via WeChat, he explained to Tian Wei, "I'll send this CPU to Michelle to take a look; she'll definitely have something to do with it."
Sure enough, a few seconds later.
[Michelle]: ? ? I searched for the price using image recognition.
[Michelle]: Dude, are you going to buy this thing?
[Michelle]: 90000! A single CPU is almost worth six figures!
[Michelle]: You put my BYD on the table?!
[Zhou Lang]: Friendly reminder, your BYD Qin has been discounted.
[Zhou Lang]: This CPU is more expensive than this one (evil grin)
[Michelle]: Zhou Lang! I really will kill you!!
