Chapter 4

Next, on Chu Tianlin's virtual screen, the virtual projections of the three brothers from his dormitory appeared. As Chu Tianlin had guessed, neither the dorm leader Hua Shan nor the fat Feng Shirong had any skills. Only the top student Zhuo Fan possessed a skill called "Java Beginner."

Chu Tianlin also recalled that Zhuo Fan had enrolled in a two-year Java class, delving deeply into the Java language. Now, with his Java skills alone, Zhuo Fan could find a very good job. Could it be that the ability to make a living with just one skill was the minimum requirement for forming a "software"?

No wonder neither Chu Tianlin nor the dorm leader had any skills. Although Hua Shan and Chu Tianlin could also make a living with the knowledge they had acquired over ten years of schooling, this living was based on a combination of many science and engineering subjects, not just a single professional skill.

From a certain perspective, Hua Shan's ability to find this job was mainly due to his university degree. However, for Zhuo Fan, even without a degree, he could easily create value for any company with his Java programming skills. This was the difference between a slacker and a top student.

Chu Tianlin was also very impressed by Zhuo Fan. In the past, the gap between them was only in their grades, and Chu Tianlin might have felt a bit lucky, thinking that the other person was just good at exams. Now, it was clear that there was indeed a gap.

Although he envied Zhuo Fan's skill, Chu Tianlin could not copy or cut it. After all, Zhuo Fan was his brother. Even if it was just copying, it would be a betrayal to his brother. With over six billion people in the world, there were probably hundreds of millions with skills. If Chu Tianlin wanted to copy or cut a skill, there were plenty of targets. Why target his own brother?

It seemed that he could try with the school's mentors! The mentors were responsible for teaching and guiding, so copying one of their skills would be like an accelerated learning process, which would be a win-win situation. However, what did "connect" mean?

A rather inappropriate image appeared in Chu Tianlin's mind, and he shuddered, quickly changing the connection target to a beautiful female mentor in the computer science department, which dispelled the unpleasant feeling.

Understanding the issue of life skills, Chu Tianlin continued, "What's the use of cleaning up garbage?"

The computer manager replied, "Cleaning up garbage can improve computer speed and free up more space." Chu Tianlin said, "Then clean it up for me now!" "Insufficient energy, one kilogram of fat from the host is required. Continue?"

Chu Tianlin replied, "Of course, continue!"

Chu Tianlin was very clear that this so-called energy was food, and in the absence of food, it would consume fat. Chu Tianlin's body was about five kilograms away from the ideal physique, so consuming some fat was just right.

Next, Chu Tianlin saw a red pointer on the virtual screen start to rotate. Each time it passed over Chu Tianlin's mirror image, it took away something. As the garbage was cleaned, Chu Tianlin felt refreshed and his mind became very clear. The garbage cleaning function seemed quite good!

Feeling very energetic, Chu Tianlin decided to go to the playground to bask in the sun. After about ten minutes, Chu Tianlin arrived at the entrance of the school playground. Just as he was about to enter, an Audi A4 parked at the parking spot outside the playground entrance. A man and a woman got out of the car, and Chu Tianlin casually turned his head, his expression changing slightly.

The woman who got out of the car was Chu Tianlin's ex-girlfriend, Zhai Xiaolan, and her current boyfriend, Huo Jianming. Compared to when she was with Chu Tianlin, Zhai Xiaolan was now very fashionable, wearing sunglasses that covered most of her face. If you only looked at her figure, she could be considered a beauty.

As for Huo Jianming, although he was dressed in a suit and was tall and thin, he was too thin and lacked form, giving the impression of a bamboo stick. His face was also long and horse-like. When Chu Tianlin saw Huo Jianming, he couldn't help but think of Zhong Wanqiu from the TV series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." With a mustache and a change of clothes, Huo Jianming could directly play Zhong Wanqiu!

Zhai Xiaolan whispered something in Huo Jianming's ear, and then they walked over. Huo Jianming had a look of superiority on his face, and Chu Tianlin stopped.

Although he didn't want to see Zhai Xiaolan, now that he had, he couldn't run away! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a laughingstock? So, Chu Tianlin calmly looked at the two of them.

At this moment, Zhai Xiaolan said, "Xiao Chu, this is my boyfriend Jianming. Jianming, this is Chu Tianlin, a classmate in our department."

Hearing Zhai Xiaolan's address, Chu Tianlin's expression changed. This woman, did she think she was a wealthy lady? Calling him "Xiao Chu"? Did this woman have any "software" he could cut? Thinking about it, Chu Tianlin silently said, "Manager, check if they have any software!"

Next, a virtual screen appeared, and the three-dimensional projections of the two appeared on it. As Chu Tianlin had guessed, Zhai Xiaolan was completely unskilled and had no skills at all. However, Huo Jianming did have some skills, with two in total: "Android Software Development Beginner" and "Software Maintenance Beginner."

Although they were only two beginner skills, this proved that Huo Jianming did have some abilities, even more so than Zhuo Fan. Chu Tianlin then said, "Manager, what does 'connect' mean?"

"Two computers need to come into contact. A beginner software can be copied or cut within five seconds. Currently, this machine can accommodate five beginner software and run two simultaneously."

Chu Tianlin sighed in relief. If "connect" referred to some inappropriate contact, it would be extremely difficult for him to obtain a skill.

After all, Chu Tianlin was still a virgin. To reach that level with a woman would be very difficult, even with prostitutes. They were already in the business, so besides bed skills, what other skills could they have?

Fortunately, this "connect" only required physical contact. He hoped Huo Jianming would be a bit more polite. If he made him unhappy, he would cut all his software and see how he could continue to be arrogant!
