"Even for a professional maintenance expert, not to mention labor costs, why should you pay for it? Repairing a broken motherboard isn't a minor issue, can it really be patched up?
Indeed, it's no small matter if the motherboard is damaged. Can it truly be fixed with a simple patch?
Sure enough, nowadays men are willing to pay any cost in the pursuit of women!
Although her heart was filled with disdain, Guo Yurong refrained from immediately continuing her mockery. Instead, she watched silently from the sidelines.
She wanted to witness the disparity between this man's words and actions. If he fails to deliver, she would be the first to mock him and expose his embarrassment!
"Hey, Xiaoyan, can you take a look at this piece of metal?"
Quickly, Guo Xuerong brought a piece of metal to Fang Yan.
"That's it!"
Accepting the palm-sized metal piece, Fang Yan began his work.
He was observed cutting the metal into fragments as thin as paper but the size of a fingernail. He then took a flat-blade screwdriver, heating it red on a gas stove, and meticulously fusing the small metal fragments into it.
Guo Yurong and Guo Xuerong watched in astonishment, completely unaware of such an operation!
Since the entire motherboard needed repair, Fang Yan repeated the procedure more than ten times before finally completing it.
"Alright?"
Seeing Fang Yan reinstall the repaired motherboard, Guo Xuerong asked tentatively.
"Not yet. The motherboard's damage is quite extensive, and many functions are compromised. I'll need to work on the software to restore all functions within the limited capacity."
Fang Yan's explanation surprised Guo Xuerong even more.
This time, she seems to have found the right person!
On the other hand, Guo Yurong's attitude started wavering as she observed Fang Yan's proficient work.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yan actually possessed real skills. Even the professional repair expert shook his head in defeat, declaring that repairing the irreparable motherboard was impossible without adequate tools. Now, to completely restore the motherboard's functionality, was truly beyond her expectations!
However, Guo Yurong didn't give up. She continued to watch Fang Yan closely, ready to seize any opportunity for mockery.
"Wow! It's actually turning on!"
As the laptop screen illuminated, Guo Xuerong's eyes sparkled.
Fang Yan began typing on the keyboard, his actions mysterious. Suddenly, complex code sequences and unfamiliar interfaces appeared on the computer screen, baffling both Guo Xuerong and Guo Yurong.
Fang Yan's fingers danced like vibrant butterflies, typing lines of code swiftly and expertly, without any hesitation or revision.
After a while, Fang Yan pressed the Enter key, stating, "It's done!"
"It's fixed?"
Guo Xuerong inquired eagerly.
"Yes, all the functions are fully restored. However, due to some permanent damage on parts of the motherboard, the performance won't be the same as before. Nevertheless, considering your notebook's high-performance capabilities, basic web browsing and video watching won't be a problem."
Fang Yan nodded before rising from his seat. "Sister Xuerong, give it a try!"
Guo Xuerong wasted no time in sitting up and booting the machine.
"While I was at it, I noticed your C drive was cluttered with unnecessary files, so I've cleaned it up. Your boot time should now be as quick as a new computer, significantly reduced!"
As Fang Yan finished his sentence, the notebook immediately entered the user interface upon booting!
"Xiaoyan, you're incredible!"
Guo Xuerong couldn't help but exclaim in delight.
"It's just a minor task."
Fang Yan smiled and glanced at Guo Yurong, who was slightly taken aback.
Guo Yurong caught Fang Yan's gaze and blushed, but she wasn't one to back down easily. "It's not fixed until it's actually working. Who said it would be fixed? There might be hidden issues! Don't get your hopes up, sister!"
"It's sufficient that I can browse the web and watch videos. It's better than staring at a black screen every day and not being able to sell it for even a hundred yuan."
Guo Xuerong chuckled.
"Don't worry, to ensure the longevity of this motherboard, I've intentionally lowered the CPU performance. Unless you pour another glass of Coke on it, it should last for another three or four years."
Fang Yan explained.
Their exchange left Guo Yurong momentarily speechless and unable to retort.
"It's really great! It works just like before!"
After testing it, Guo Xuerong found that all the functions were intact. She could browse the web, watch videos, chat on QQ, and even shop on Taobao. It was as user-friendly as before, and her joy was as radiant as a blossoming flower. What a satisfying outcome!
"Xiaoyan, today I owe it all to you!"
"If it weren't for you, my laptop would have been a lost cause!"
Guo Xuerong smiled sweetly. Today, she came expecting rent but ended up finding a treasure, recovering a "significant" amount of loss!
And now, for any future mobile phone or computer issues, Fang Yan was like an on-site repair machine, more convenient and faster than the outside repair experts. Plus, it was free!
"Who cares? This broken laptop has been used for two or three years and isn't worth much. Look how happy you are, sister!"
Guo Yurong pouted, a hint of disdain in her expression.
"This is... Sister Guo Yurong, right?"
Fang Yan inquired.
"Yes, she's my sister, Guo Yurong. She's just a child, she doesn't know any better. Xiaoyan, don't mind her!"
Guo Xuerong attempted to defuse the situation.
"What about me?"
Guo Yurong seemed defiant and unyielding.
"I was actually thinking, if you don't want to end up with uncooperative teammates in King of Glory, maybe I can assist a bit."
Fang Yan shrugged.
"Can you help?"
Guo Yurong looked at Fang Yan skeptically. "How can you help? Can you stop these feeders from giving away kills and turn them all into superstars?"
"Absolutely!"
Fang Yan nodded. "I just need to access the backend of King of Glory and slightly tweak the matchmaking system for your account. This way, you'll be matched with teammates who have impressive records and won't feed in every match."
Upon hearing this, Guo Yurong was left dumbfounded.
