Chapter 119: Chapter 97: Military Training Talent, The Thoughts of the Girls.
Actually, there was some distance between their dormitories, and the military training was not held in the same area.
Unless it was intentional, it was really quite difficult to run into each other.
Xu Musen's computer and camera had also arrived.
In this era, laptop performance still couldn't keep up, so Xu Musen had set up a desktop in the dormitory.
Next, as they would delve into APPs, he had to allocate part of it as a server; if he used a laptop during this hot summer, he might as well perform the Blazing Fireball technique in the middle of the night.
Xu Musen had just finished setting up his computer when a few guys gathered around.
"Your computer's specs look pretty good, does it lag when you play CF?"
"Lagging in CF has nothing to do with the computer; even if you moved the No. 1 Supercomputer over to serve as your server, it would still lag if it's supposed to lag."
Zhou Hangyu smirked lewdly, "Xu Musen, do you have any 'resources' on your computer? I like the Western ones."
"Knock it off, my computer is for work purposes."
Xu Musen ignored the two, turned on his computer, and started downloading various software. In the dormitory, he had pulled an internet cable with a campus card.
Everyone knows what campus internet is like, a few dozen megabits at best.
But that should be enough for the early stages, handling just some order requests and responses from businesses.
For meticulous big data flavor recommendations, accurate courier arrival times, and real-time location tracking - all of that was unnecessary.
For now, serving the several thousand students on campus was sufficient.
"Damn, using such a great computer for programming?" Zhou Hangyu lamented with a frown.
Ma Yaxing came over, looking enviously at the pricey computer.
At this point in time, not every household had a computer.
Many people now understood that computer science was a hot field for future job prospects.
Many who hadn't really worked with computers at all still dove headfirst into the computer science department to secure a good job.
"Xu Musen, how much did your computer cost?" he asked.
"Around ten thousand or so, mainly because I added a few large memory sticks for server use, which made it a bit more expensive."
"That's really expensive."
Ma Yaxing clicked his tongue; his tuition for the year wasn't even that much.
"If it can create more value, then it's not considered expensive. We're from the computer science department after all, the computer is our paintbrush for drawing, it's indispensable," Xu Musen shook his head and said.
"I can't afford something that expensive; I plan to just use the computers in the school's lab first, then save up some money to buy a second-hand laptop," Ma Yaxing said.
"How did you practice before? Studying computer science without a computer is a big disadvantage."
"Heh, I used to tinker with my cousin's computer, I even won a prize in a high school competition," Ma Yaxing said, scratching his head.
After all, those able to attend Hu Hai University were definitely among the best students from their local areas; put aside emotional intelligence, but their IQs were certainly not low.
Listening to this, Xu Musen's eyes lit up, and he said to Ma Yaxing, "Have you studied those automatic response type of commercial APPs?"
Ma Yaxing, scratching his head, replied, "I've written a program for an automatic vending machine before, should be more or less the same, right?"
"The underlying logic is the same. I just happen to want to write an APP like that. How about you write it with me? I'll pay you a salary."
Xu Musen said.
The few were taken aback for a moment; writing programs was their specialty, but developing an APP was something new to them.
"If you trust me, you don't need to pay me; I'd be content just to get some practice on your computer," Ma Yaxing promptly agreed.
To him, the most important thing as a computer science major was the opportunity to work with computers, and such an opportunity was excellent.
"This is a separate matter, this is a genuine piece of work. As long as you do it well, I won't be stingy with how much I owe you,"
Xu Musen said. Regardless of what others thought, the relationship based on money was actually the most stable.
Getting paid means taking the work seriously, and it also signifies responsibility, allowing one to enter a proper working state.
"Damn, that's possible? Let us help too!"
Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong also came over to offer their help.
Xu Musen replied irritably, "You two would just create a mess; do you really think you could sit still and stare at a computer screen all day with your restless hearts?"
It made sense; Zhou Hangyu wasn't short on money, and Li Rundong was the kind of person who preferred doing jobs that looked good on the surface.
They might be suitable for roles in publicity or sales.
But steady, monotonous work like this was better left to Ma Yaxing.
Xu Musen and Ma Yaxing discussed the rough framework of the APP together, both being excellent students, they naturally understood each other at once.
The more complex tasks were left to him.
...
The training had already been going on for a week.
In the evening, instead of practicing standing at attention, the freshmen from various departments gathered on the sports field, clustering in groups to pull up their team songs or showcase their talents.
At this juncture, it was the time for the standout individuals from each class to make an appearance.
Good performance gave them a head start in gaining mating privileges.
If they didn't perform well, they would likely be nagged by their roommates for the entire four years of college.
An Nuannuan now came almost every day to bring Xu Musen some mung bean soup and then sat in the shade of the trees watching Xu Musen train.
It got to the point where the people in his class almost began to think An Nuannuan was one of their own.
This time, for the big assembly, pretty much all the classes from their campus were present.
