Chapter 29: Xiao Wu's Temptation

  The second update is here! Please collect! Please recommend! Please support! Thank you everyone!

  After Xie Yan entered Cao Meng's room, it is unknown what she said to Cao Meng. Anyway, at lunchtime, Cao Meng's attitude towards Yang Jie improved a lot, and was no longer so tense.

  At noon, Yang Jie chose to have lunch at the Huaihe Hotel. After all, this is the best hotel in Huaihe County, and the chef's level is not bad. Moreover, Yang Jie has stayed here for a week and is familiar with the delicious dishes here.

  After lunch, Yang Jie took out his own gifts left in the hotel room and returned to the dormitory with Xie Yan and Cao Meng.

  Lying on the Simmons bed, looking at the clean and tidy bedroom, Yang Jie knew that he would have to spend some time in this room. As for the two beautiful women living next door, Yang Jie was still very happy inside, after all, living with two beauties is better than living with two wild beasts.

  Moreover, from high school to university, Yang Jie's dormitory had always been all-male, and now that he finally had the opportunity to live with a female in the same dormitory, this new and strange experience and feeling was absolutely different. Yang Jie, who was indulging in infinite fantasies, was startled by Xiao Wu's sudden appearance.

  "Brother Jie, I sense that there is a network in this building that can connect to the internet. Can you think of a way for me to get close to it?" Little Wu sat on the sofa wearing a cool short skirt, using her husky and seductive voice, leaning forward to reveal a snowy mountain range on her chest, softly asking Yang Jie.

  Yang Jie had also learned about computers while studying in Yanjing and knew how to send emails and other basic network applications. When he heard Xiao Wu say this, he suddenly thought of the computer in Xie Yan's room next door.

  Looking at Xiao Wu who was winking at him, Yang Jie curiously asked: "Do you want to go online? You've already merged with me, can you even go online? Besides, what's the point of going online?"

  Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, sat up straight and gazed at Yang Jie with a hint of resentment: "Others are intelligent light brains, of course they can go online. Although we merged, we can still separate a small piece of intelligent crystal and attach it to the network terminal to go online."

  Moreover, the most important thing is that once Xiao Wu can connect to the internet, it will be able to play a role far beyond its current capabilities. The separated intelligent crystal, like another incarnation of Xiao Wu, will be able to handle many things that the main body cannot do now. If it weren't for this era lacking wireless base stations, they would have asked you to do so."

  "What can you do online?" Yang Jie's interest was piqued when Xiao Wu said this.

  "I can do a lot more, such as making money, controlling computers connected to the internet, setting up websites, developing network programs, collecting information from the Ethernet and so on. In short, with the rapid development of the Ethernet, I can make use of the network and play a greater role. The future is an era of networks, it's hard to explain in just a few words." Xiaowu said to Yang Jie with a frustrated expression.

  "Are you bragging? What does surfing the internet have to do with making money?" Yang Jie knew about programming and network attacks, but he couldn't figure out how Xiao Wu made money through the internet.

  "The development of the Internet in the future will far exceed what you can imagine at this moment. Banks, securities, shopping, reading, gaming, movies, music, and even daily necessities like food and clothing will all be controlled through the network. The big players in the future Internet industry will all be regulars on the world's rich list. As for ways to make money, there are countless possibilities. Let me tell you..." Xiaowu explained various knowledge about the future of the Internet to Yang Jie like a science teacher.

  After listening to Xiaowu's rough account, Yang Jie's eyes sparkled with excitement as he stared at Xiaowu and asked: "Are you sure what you said is true? Can you really make money through the internet?"

  Xiao Wu heard Yang Jie talk for so long, but still couldn't believe it, and immediately said with a hum: "Others are smart light brains, they won't lie. I say it's possible, it must be possible. As long as you give me a network interface and authorize me to operate freely without spending a penny, in five years, I can build a huge internet empire for you."

  Yang Jie studied economics and had his own views on the development and understanding of economics. Seeing Xiao Wu's guarantee, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Although he had already decided to enter politics, he knew that to achieve his ideals and fulfill his ambitions, he would inevitably need a strong economy to rely on.

  Xiao Wu and Yang Jie have a symbiotic relationship. If Xiao Wu can truly build an internet empire through the network, it will undoubtedly bring countless benefits to Yang Jie. Looking at Yang Jie's excited expression, Xiao Wu continued: "The future is the era of science and technology. In my database, there are 32NB of future technological materials. With these materials, China can quickly rise to the top of the world, become a global superpower, and possess technological, industrial, and economic capabilities that far surpass those of other countries."

  Don't you want to complete all that I have said with your own hands? If you do, then let's work together towards this goal!

  Yang Jie is a post-70s, and his parents are also war heroes. His outlook on life, values, and ideals are completely different from those of the post-80s and 90s. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to enter politics. Xiao Wu knew Yang Jie's ideals, so he targeted his weaknesses, making it impossible for Yang Jie to refuse.

  "A strong country and a rich people, surpassing the UK and the US, striving for the rise of our motherland is an unshakeable ambition I have had since childhood. I hope you can really put it into practice and not let me down." Yang Jie looked at Xiao Wu with a serious expression.

  "Don't worry! I'm an intelligent assistant system, my existence is to assist you in completing your work and living a better life. This is the foundation of my existence, your wishes are my responsibility, and I will do my best to help you achieve your dreams!" Xiao Wu changed his usual playful demeanor and spoke very seriously to Yang Jie.

  "Alright! I'll go ask Xie Yan, see where we can buy a computer and what procedures we need to go through to get the internet set up." Yang Jie said as he got out of bed, opened the door and knocked on Xie Yan's bedroom door again.

  Xie Yan, wearing pajamas, opened the door to see Yang Jie looking anxious and couldn't help but tease: "Yang Jie, people say that a day without seeing each other is like being separated for three autumns. We've only been apart for a short while, and you're already missing me? Have you fallen in love with me?"

  "Ah! Love you to death!" Yang Jie's face was thick-skinned, he wouldn't mind a little girl's teasing. Looking at the computer in Xie Yan's room, Yang Jie asked: "I'm Yanzi, where did you buy this computer? Can it go online?"

  "Those who live in the postal office's residential building can't even access the internet, then where else in Tonghe County can you get online? You want to buy a computer?" Xie Yan didn't answer how much her own computer cost, but instead smiled slyly and asked Yang Jie back.

  Yang Jie was taken aback, he had forgotten that the post office was indeed in charge of internet access at this time. At that time, postal and telecommunications services were not yet separated, and even pagers and beepers could only be purchased at the post office in Yunhe County, and it was impossible to buy them elsewhere.

  "When I was studying in Yenching, I really liked computers and would go online in the school's computer room. Now that I'm back working, I also want to buy a computer to get online, and it'll be convenient to contact teachers and classmates through email." Yang Jie's explanation was half true and half false, but Xie Yan didn't suspect anything.

  After Yang Jie said that, Xie Yan smiled and said: "Currently, there is no place to buy computers in Huaihe County, only Changyang City has a few computer stores. If you want to buy a computer, you can only go to Changyang City."

  "It's very convenient to get online, just go to the post office and open a phone line for this residential building, buy a modem, take the account number and you can dial up to get online."

  Xie Yan said and returned to the room, picked up a pen and wrote down the addresses of several computer stores in Changyang City on her notebook. Currently, Changyang City has not planned a computer city, and computer stores are scattered throughout the city. After Xie Yan finished writing down the few stores she knew, she handed it over to Yang Jie.

  After thanking Xie Yan, Yang Jie took his ID card and went to the post office hall. He made a call to Liu Daxing at the post office hall. Liu Daxing's big brother was rarely used, only when he left Fuxin Tungsten Mine would he use it. Yang Jie knew that Liu Daxing had gone to the city, so he hurriedly called him.

  "Little brother-in-law, are you still in town?" Yang Jie asked Liu Daxing as soon as the call connected.

  Liu Daxing was in the city buying an air compressor and drill bits when he received a call from Yang Jie. He replied casually, "Still in the city, aren't you supposed to go to the county committee for reporting today? What's wrong, didn't it go smoothly?"

  "The registration went very smoothly, and the dormitory has also been arranged. I want to buy a better computer, but it's not available in Xunhe County. I don't want to trouble you, Uncle Liu, to buy one from the city for me." Yang Jie felt relieved when he heard that Liu Daxing was still in the city.

  "Buy a computer? Will you use that thing?" Liu Daxing was taken aback upon hearing this, computers were synonymous with high-tech in this era, and Fuxin Tungsten Mine only had two computers, which were specifically used for printing files and the like.

  "Little uncle, I'm a student at Yanda University, and we have computer classes in school. Do you think I can use it? I want to buy a computer to go online and contact Jimmy and others through email, which is much cheaper than making phone calls." Yang Jie came up with an excuse on the spot, suddenly making Liu Daxing, who was not paying attention at first, take notice.
