Chapter 5

At this moment, Hu Jianming said, "Xiao Chu, I heard that you once pestered Xiao Lan for a while. Now, Xiao Lan is my girlfriend, so I hope you won't bother her anymore. Otherwise, I, Hu Jianming, am at least a manager, and it would be quite easy for me to make it impossible for you to stand your ground in Fuzhou City."

Of course, Hu Jianming knew that Chu Tianlin had not actually pestered Zhai Xiaolan. However, if he admitted that Chu Tianlin was Zhai Xiaolan's ex-boyfriend, wouldn't he, Hu Jianming, be seen as someone who picks up used shoes?

Moreover, Hu Jianming did have some ability and connections to make it difficult for Chu Tianlin to find a foothold in Fuzhou City. It might be an exaggeration to say he could make it impossible, but if Hu Jianming put in some effort, it would certainly be much harder for Chu Tianlin to find a job in the software industry. Now, Hu Jianming was using his position to intimidate Chu Tianlin in front of Zhai Xiaolan, to show his dominance.

After all, although Hu Jianming was a bit taller than Chu Tianlin, he was as thin as a bamboo pole. Even in a suit, he was outmatched in appearance, physique, and presence by Chu Tianlin. He had to make up for this, and when Chu Tianlin heard Hu Jianming's words, a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes. This guy was really asking for it! How dare he threaten me.

Originally, Chu Tianlin had thought about copying this guy's skills, but now, only by cutting all his skills could he vent his anger.

Thinking this, Chu Tianlin extended his hand and put on a smile, saying, "Those were all misunderstandings, Manager Hu, you are a magnanimous person!"

Hearing Chu Tianlin's words, Zhai Xiaolan's face showed a hint of disdain, and her expression became even more haughty. "You finally know your place. My boyfriend is powerful, and you can't afford to offend me, a little nobody. Hmph!" Hu Jianming was also very pleased, feeling that he had successfully intimidated Chu Tianlin in front of Zhai Xiaolan, making her clearly recognize his abilities and connections. This made him feel very good.

So, Hu Jianming extended his right hand like a superior to a subordinate, and Chu Tianlin grabbed Hu Jianming's right hand with both hands, thinking, "Cut everything!"

Chu Tianlin said, "Manager Hu, you are truly young and talented. It's a great honor to meet you!" As he spoke, he shook Hu Jianming's hand vigorously.

Hu Jianming was surprised by Chu Tianlin's enthusiasm. It took ten seconds before the computer manager's voice sounded: "Cut complete. The system has obtained 'Basic Software Maintenance' and 'Basic Android Software Development.' Two kilograms of fat have been consumed. The system has reached its daily fat consumption limit and needs immediate energy replenishment to avoid damage to the hardware."

Chu Tianlin had rushed straight to the teaching building after getting up in the morning and had not eaten anything since returning to the dormitory. His roommates didn't eat breakfast, and he had gotten used to not eating breakfast, even though he knew it was bad for his health, he was just too lazy to get up.

But now, the computer manager clearly stated that it would damage his health, so Chu Tianlin had no choice but to go and eat something. So, he immediately let go of Hu Jianming's hands and ran to the school cafeteria.

Hu Jianming and Zhai Xiaolan were both surprised. He had been so enthusiastic just a moment ago, why did he suddenly run away? Zhai Xiaolan said, "I guess he was scared by you. He's just a nobody who has never seen the world!"

Hu Jianming nodded in agreement, then wiped his right hand with a tissue and put his arm around Zhai Xiaolan's waist. However, he didn't go directly to the playground but looked back. Zhai Xiaolan asked, "What's wrong?" Hu Jianming replied, "I feel like I forgot something, but I can't remember what it was."

At this moment, Chu Tianlin had already arrived at the cafeteria and ordered two bowls of porridge, six buns, and three pancakes. Chu Tianlin was really hungry, and the computer manager had also prompted him to replenish a lot of energy, so he ordered three times his usual amount of food and started eating voraciously.

While Chu Tianlin was eating, a charging symbol appeared on the virtual desktop. When he arrived at the cafeteria, the battery was already down to 5%. If it dropped to 0%, it would start consuming fat.

However, because of the skill cut and garbage cleanup, Chu Tianlin had already consumed three kilograms of fat. The daily fat consumption limit was three kilograms, and exceeding it would cause noticeable damage to his body.

That's why Chu Tianlin was in such a hurry. He quickly finished the food he had ordered, and the battery level rose to 30%. Since he was here to recharge, he might as well charge fully! So, he ordered three more pancakes and two bowls of tofu pudding.

After eating all this, Chu Tianlin's battery level finally recovered to over 50%, but he couldn't continue eating. If he did, the cafeteria aunties would probably think he was a monster! So, he packed thirty buns and went back to the dormitory.

Back in the dormitory, Chu Tianlin's buns didn't last long. His three roommates were still hungry, and in no time, only twenty buns were left.

He quickly finished these twenty buns, and the battery level on the virtual screen rose to about 80%. Then, Chu Tianlin thought, "Manager, I remember you said something about upgrading the hardware yesterday. How do I do that?"

The computer manager replied, "To upgrade the hardware, a large amount of computation is needed to analyze the conditions required for the upgrade. This will consume 60% of the battery. Do you want to continue?"

Chu Tianlin thought, "That much? I'll have to eat seven or eight pounds of rice at lunch? Forget it, let's continue!"

Chu Tianlin had made up his mind. He needed to use the computer manager for various functions and couldn't keep consuming fat.

Although he had accumulated over ten kilograms of extra fat during his college years, even at three kilograms a day, it would be used up in four or five days. At that point, Chu Tianlin would still need to eat a lot, so he might as well be a big eater for a while before leaving school!

After all, this computer manager had indeed given Chu Tianlin a lot of help, especially the cut function, which was incredibly powerful. Let's see if Hu Jianming can still stay in the company!
