Chapter 39

After analyzing the virus, Zhang Qiu scanned the web browsing history and quickly locked onto a few websites. These were the sites that Han Nv often visited, and they were now all infected with the virus. It seemed that this virus was no small matter; it could potentially cause a major incident, much like the "Panda Burning Incense" virus.

Zhang Qiu did not completely eliminate the virus but captured one in a sandbox for further study.

He then wrote a specialized tool, placed it on the desktop, and helped adjust the security policies and router settings to restore Han Nv's computer to its original state, making it even more secure.

"Done. The virus came from these few websites. Don't visit them for the next few days," Zhang Qiu said, opening the traffic log and pointing out the infected sites to Han Nv.

Han Nv was quite surprised: "These are all big websites. I never thought they would be infected."

"I have a feeling something big is going to happen! But don't worry, I'm sure the big websites will come up with a solution soon. For now, just avoid going online randomly," Zhang Qiu said.

After that, Zhang Qiu opened the specialized tool and said to Han Nv, "This is the specialized tool I wrote. It contains a signature that can be called by antivirus software. Once the antivirus software detects this virus, it will activate this tool to eliminate it. Your computer is safe for now, as long as you don't delete this tool."

"I didn't expect you to have such skills! I don't fully understand what you said, but it sounds really impressive!" Han Nv said.

Zhang Qiu thought to himself, "You might as well just say it sounds impressive."

"My turn! My computer isn't fixed yet!" the cute girl said.

Zhang Qiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm coming to you now."

At this moment, the cute girl brought her fashionable ultrabook over, and a unique scent of a young girl wafted into Zhang Qiu's nose. Being in a girl's room, this special environment made Zhang Qiu feel a unique sensation.

Girls are great, especially young and vibrant girls, so beautiful!

Praising in his heart, Zhang Qiu took the computer and immediately entered a serious and focused work mode.

Whenever he dealt with technical issues, Zhang Qiu would become completely absorbed, exuding a highly professional demeanor. This professional and dedicated attitude made him appear uniquely charming.

Han Nv suddenly realized that this boy, whom she had treated like a young boy, seemed to have a bit of a manly quality.

With previous experience and the specialized tool, Zhang Qiu quickly resolved the virus on the cute girl's computer. After asking which antivirus software she used, Zhang Qiu modified the specialized tool to match the antivirus engine and copied it to her computer using a USB drive and PE system.

Upon rebooting, the antivirus software immediately detected the virus and activated the specialized tool to eliminate it.

Seeing the virus removal process firsthand, Han Nv became even more convinced that Zhang Qiu was telling the truth.

After adjusting some security policies, Zhang Qiu closed the laptop and declared success.

"Done, here you go!" Handing the laptop to the cute girl, Zhang Qiu felt a sense of relief.

However, the task was not yet complete, and Zhang Qiu began to worry.

"I'm here to rent a room. Do you agree to let me move in?" Zhang Qiu asked.

Han Nv, who had been smiling, suddenly became serious and frowned. "I need to think about this. Let's go out to eat first; it's getting late. That darn virus!"

Seeing Han Nv frown, Zhang Qiu suddenly felt that the obstacle to his moving in was not the landlord, the cute girl, but the tenant, Han Nv!

Her frown seemed to recall some unpleasant memories.

Perhaps she had been hurt by men before, which made her resistant to and distrustful of men.

But from her usual behavior, she didn't seem like someone who had been hurt. She was bold and playful with both men and women, but not in a way that suggested deep-seated resentment.

Sigh, it's complicated, I can't figure it out. I might as well use my charm!

The three of them went to a restaurant outside the neighborhood and got a private room.

"Little boy, you helped me a lot today. I'll treat you to a big meal. Order whatever you want!" Han Nv pushed the menu to Zhang Qiu first, then took the other two menus to look at with the cute girl.

Although she spoke politely, her actions were casual, and she didn't wait for Zhang Qiu to look at the menu first.

After ordering the dishes, the three of them naturally started chatting, which helped them get to know each other better.

Zhang Qiu also learned their names. The cute girl was Ye Zhuyun, and Han Nv was Xiang Yufei, both of whom had beautiful names that matched their appearances.

At this point, the task was almost complete, only needing the final step for them to agree to let Zhang Qiu move in.

Zhang Qiu had to use his charm. However, when he absorbed Xiang Yufei's allure and added it to his own, her allure did not entangle with his charm but became a part of his charm, similar to the allure he absorbed from the perverted man.

Charm has two forms: one is a simple increase in charm, and the other is the entanglement of a woman's allure with a man's charm.

Both forms can enhance charm, but the former has a general effect, increasing attraction to everyone. The latter has a specialized effect, strongly attracting specific people, but it is not exclusive. This charm, enhanced by other women, can also attract third parties.

Zhang Qiu thought this was probably part of the theory that "charismatic men are liked by many women." Charismatic men naturally attract women, and if a man has already attracted women, it can increase other women's interest and curiosity in him.

This relative change is similar to the principle that more charm means more allure, and more allure can also increase charm, a typical example of mutual influence. Nothing in this world is absolutely independent; most things are interdependent.

The allure was absorbed without entanglement, indicating that Xiang Yufei was resistant to men, reflected in her allure not wanting to entangle with charm.

With no other choice, Zhang Qiu decided to take the route of a close friend. He absorbed Ye Zhuyun's allure, which entangled with his charm, increasing her affection for him. In this situation, she would definitely speak well of him.

Unfortunately, the charm skill could only forcibly absorb a man's allure, not a woman's allure. Otherwise, he could directly absorb Xiang Yufei's allure, form a charm bond, and add it to himself, making his charm completely overpower hers.

This way, he could not only suppress her aura and stop being bullied by her but also attract her allure and win her heart.

Unfortunately, it was not possible! The charm skill could not do this, so it was just a fantasy.

"Xiang Yufei, you and Zhang Qiu seem quite familiar. Why don't you let him move in?" Ye Zhuyun asked suspiciously.

Xiang Yufei countered, "You seem to want him to move in a lot! You said you have no relationship with him, hmm! Little girl, you're starting to think about love!"

"Xiang Yufei, you're being ridiculous! I just said I don't have a relationship with him. But you seem to have a deep relationship with him! You even touch each other. Is he your boyfriend? I think you're not ready to take your relationship to the next level, so you don't want him to move in and disrupt your love plan... Did I guess right? I'm so smart!" Ye Zhuyun said.

Xiang Yufei retorted, "Smart, my foot! If he heard us, he'd think we're competing to be his girlfriend, and the little boy would be over the moon!"

"He's playing on his phone, I'm paying attention here, he can't hear us!" Ye Zhuyun said with a giggle.

She extended her white, tender arm and hooked it around Xiang Yufei's neck, looking very intimate. She continued, "I hope he can move in! He said he can cook well. And he has great computer skills, so if the computer breaks, he can come and fix it anytime."

Han Nv: "Let's eat first." She then buried her head in her food and didn't say another word.

On the way back, Xiang Yufei suddenly said, "Zhang Qiu, if you want to move in, it's not impossible, but you have to listen to us two girls and not bully Little Zhuyun when I'm not around! You have to behave and listen to us, cook for us, or we'll kick you out."

Zhang Qiu was initially stunned but quickly realized that Xiang Yufei was agreeing to let him move in. Although it sounded like an unequal treaty, a good man doesn't fight with women, especially such beautiful ladies. Why not let the ladies have their way?

He quickly nodded and smiled, mimicking a character from a TV show, "Yes, yes, Xiang Yufei, I will do as you say!"

"That's more like it! Little Qiu, from now on, you belong to me. Serve us well, and you'll be rewarded!"

At this moment, the long-awaited system prompt finally appeared: "Comprehensive Main Task (Acquaintance): Co-renting Fate (Completed). Reward: Culinary Mastery (Provincial Level), Character Recognition Engine (Intermediate Technology). Extract?"

"Extract Culinary Mastery!" Zhang Qiu thought.

A familiar stream of knowledge flooded Zhang Qiu's mind, and in no time, he transformed from a novice who only knew how to press the rice cooker button to a culinary master on par with a five-star hotel chef.

"Ladies, let me cook you an unforgettable midnight snack tonight!"
