The Buggiest System

52 - Stop Being Dumb

Zhou Lei arrived at the room where their computer was at.

Looking at the seemingly high-end keyboard and looking back at the ancient computer at the end of the room, Zhou Lei couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

"Hmm, are there computers in System's shop?", Zhou Lei thought. "If that's the case then that'd be great."

He planned on buying a new high-end computer from System, or at least something that was better than their current computer.

He walked towards the computer, opened it, and plugged off the previous keyboard.

The keyboard was full of missing keys. If one tried to type anything on it, they would be drastically impeded by the lack of keys on the keyboard.

Only the ones who have memorized the positions of the letters on the keyboard, like Zhou Lei, could operate it smoothly.

"I'll miss you, ancient keyboard." Zhou Lei whispered to the keyboard while opening the window outside.

Immediately, the smell of trash and smoke entered the room, as well as the smell of sewage.

He then threw the keyboard out.

The window was actually useless, since outside was just another building. The gap between the building and the Zhou house was measly, it could be measured by a hand.

The keyboard that was thrown outside fit into that gap, and fell down.

Zhou Lei popped his head outside the window and looked down, seeing the keyboard.

"It's just right there..."

Not being able to bear the stench anymore, Zhou Lei closed the windows and resumed setting up the new keyboard.

"Hmm..." Zhou Lei looked at the plug of the keyboard. It was a USB, instead of the plug that the previous keyboard had.

Looking at the USB ports on the CPU, Zhou Lei realized that he had a problem: the USB ports were all already occupied!

Two for the two printers, one for the mouse, one for the speakers. There were a total of four ports to plug the USB in.

"What should I eject?" Zhou Lei had a hard time deciding. This keyboard would be plugged in indefinitely, so it wasn't possible to eject an essential.

The mouse was, of course, not unpluggable. Obviously, this was very much needed for using the computer, otherwise, he would have to memorize every single keyboard shortcut to operate the computer.

The speakers were also essentials, since sound was rarely turned off by his family when they use the computer.

Zhou Lei had his own earphones, so he didn't have a need for these speakers, but his family needed both the keyboard and the speakers.

That led to the last two machines plugged in, and they were the two printers.

"Do we need two printers?" Zhou Lei contemplated.

To hasten the process of printing, his father used both printers. However, recently, his father has been printing in his workplace instead of here.

"Anyway, if he ever needs to print something again, he can do it on the other printer..."

"In that case...!" Zhou Lei finally made a decision. He was going to unplug... the speakers.

It was then that System gave him a new quest.

Quest: Stop being dumb, you piece of s**t

Description: Why the f**k are you so dumb?! Popular guys aren't dumb.

Reward: 10 lottery tickets, 10 upgrade points

"Wait, what...?" Zhou Lei was, at first, pissed off by the quest System gave him, but as time passed, he could only be confused. He did not understand at all what System meant!

"Please elaborate." Zhou Lei spoke to System directly in his mind, but he didn't expect it to answer.

Contrary to his expectations, however, System responded, although with a different response as opposed to what he expected but didn't expect.

Quest: Stop being dumb, you piece of s**t

Description: Why the f**k are you so dumb?! Popular guys aren't dumb.

Reward: 10 lottery tickets, 10 upgrade points

"What the heck?!" Zhou Lei was really getting angry now. At first, he was really glad that System responded, but it turned out that it just repeated what it said earlier!
