I am weak and friendly

Chapter 152 Is this a paradise for the weak?

"It's a bit messy inside, can you come in?"

Brother Ban opened the door to the sect's treasure vault—no, the company's warehouse—and was a little perplexed.

Tang Yiping peeked inside and realized that it was indeed not easy for him to get in.

The headlights were turned on, revealing four or five rows of shelves, each piled high with various items.

Beyond the four rows of shelves, there were mountains of various odds and ends, and from a distance, it was so dark that you couldn't see what they were.

Tang Yiping felt that if he killed one or two people and buried them here, he could get away with it.

"It's all odds and ends inside. The most commonly used items are on these two rows of shelves, and computers and such are also here," said Brother Ban. "But most of them are unusable. We'll have to take them all out and try them out to see if we can piece together a working one."

As he said this, Ban asked Tang Yiping, "Do you know how to assemble a computer?"

"No," Tang Yiping said. "I've only ever seen Master Tang tinker with his own computer."

“You young people don’t even know how to do that,” Brother Ban said with a sigh. “Last year we hired an intern who didn’t even know how to turn on a computer or type. I don’t know how he passed the interview.”

Tang Yiping: "???"

Although I'm also the kind of person who's a bit abstract, and I didn't know anything when I first arrived, it's a bit too abstract to not even know how to turn on the computer or type on the keyboard.

"Then you can go out first, I'll look for something." Brother Ban thought that since Tang Yiping didn't understand, he should go out.

"do not!"

Tang Yiping felt his "carrion-eating" instincts were about to explode with excitement while he was inside.

Undoubtedly, these items were not properly registered or cataloged, as fixed asset management is a very troublesome task.

Finding something valuable that has been forgotten amidst a pile of worthless things is exactly within Tang Yiping's [Carrion Eater] range!

"Brother Ban, Brother Ban, this memory stick works."

"Brother Ban, Brother Ban, this hard drive still works."

"Brother Ban, Brother Ban, what's this part? It can be used..."

Ban Ge looked at Tang Yiping with a completely bewildered expression.

"Don't you know nothing about assembling computers?"

"Yes, Master Tang won't let me touch his computer. He said it's like my second mother, and touching it would be unfilial."

Brother Ban: "..."

What the hell is this "Second Mother"?

How do you know these things are still usable?

If you don't use the machine, do you think you can tell just by looking at it?

"I'll give it a try later, trust me," Tang Yiping said. "I'm best at picking up trash!"

Having been fed by Tang Yiping for many days and having consumed a bellyful of "garbage," Ban Ge felt he couldn't refute it.

It's so convincing, you can only believe it.

He rummaged through the things Tang Yiping had found and said, "We need to find another usable motherboard..."

CPUs are generally not prone to failure, but motherboards are a different story.

The warehouse full of junk mostly consists of broken motherboards that are beyond repair.

Tang Yiping looked around carefully.

“Little baby, come here quickly, come to Daddy…” Tang Yiping muttered.

—[Signature] Successful, [Beacon of Friendship] activated.

Huh?
Are there also vulnerable people here who can be appeased?
Tang Yiping looked up again.

In that instant, he felt as if he saw... a sky full of stars.

Wow, is this a paradise for the weak?
However, the countless stars only flashed briefly in Tang Yiping's field of vision before dimming, leaving only a few points of light twinkling.

It's unclear whether they are avoiding Tang Yiping's "Friendly Beacon," or whether Tang Yiping's "Friendly Beacon" can only illuminate the "weak" he has already encountered.

Or perhaps the current [Friendly Beacon] isn't strong enough. Tang Yiping looked closely; currently, in his field of vision, there was still one [Entangled Entity] and three [Stress Swarms].

Tang Yiping glanced at the "entangled body," which appeared to be inside a jumble of network cables.

Forget it, we already have a yandere landmine at home. If we bring another one back, the harem might explode!
As for these three stress swarms...

Oh no!

Tang Yiping clearly saw that these stress insect swarms were on their last legs.

Indeed, stress worms are "weak" at absorbing vibrations. Placed in such a spot, unless there's an earthquake, probably no one will bother to swat them. It's no wonder they're not doing well.

Judging from the population size of these "stress worm swarms," ​​they were frequently swatted before, so their "number" was very large. But now these little things that look like silkworms are all dull and motionless, in a "corpse-like" state, completely unlike the "lively" state described in Tang Yiping's notebook.

"Brother Ban, come help me!" Tang Yiping carefully carried out a computer case.

This computer case looks quite old.

"Will this work?"

“Just pat it and it’s ready to use,” Tang Yiping said.

Seeing that Brother Ban was about to take a picture, Tang Yiping quickly said, "Hand it gently, don't take a picture now!"

He now understands the [Stress Swarm] very well. These little things can kill half of them with a single slap, and they will only resume reproduction if the thing they are parasitizing starts working. But there is no electricity now, so even slapping them is useless and will only result in a loss.

Ban was a little confused, but he still took it and carefully put it aside.

Tang Yiping searched again and pulled out a square-shaped object: "What's this? Is it a notebook?"

This thing looks like a very old, thick, and small laptop with all sorts of ports, many of which Tang Yiping didn't recognize.

"Oh, this is an industrial control system maintenance and testing terminal," said Brother Ban. "It used to be used for testing servers. This thing is probably older than you. Many of its interfaces are no longer in use... I remember one of our maintenance personnel brought it here, and then it broke down and we just left it here..."

"It says here, the production date is 2009. Are you underestimating me or this terminal?" Tang Yiping protested.

However, he felt that he had learned something new; he didn't know such a thing existed!
Judging by its thickness, it's about the same as a brick, but it's not too heavy when you lift it.

There was also a group of [Stress Swarm] inside. Judging from the distribution range of the [Stress Swarm], this thing had most likely been dropped, because the [Stress Swarm] was distributed everywhere inside.

"And what about this?" Tang Yiping asked, pointing to something that looked like a printer.

This thing looks like a printer, but it also has a telephone handset and dial pad.

"This is a printer with a fax function! You don't even know what a fax machine is?!" Brother Ban exclaimed in shock.

"Who said that? I've heard it before!"

Okay, now I understand what a generation gap is.

"I used to use this to transmit contracts..." Ban muttered. "You want this too?"

As he said this, he still brought out the huge fax printer.

Actually, I don't want a fax machine; I want a [stress swarm].

Of course, this thing looks quite interesting too.

After carrying the three items carrying the [Stress Swarm] back to his office, Tang Yiping suddenly felt a tightness in his ankle.

Oh dear, this is bad.

[Entangled Body] My sister is unhappy!

"Don't worry, don't worry, I just want to sell them for a good price!" Tang Yiping quickly reassured it.

Then Tang Yiping looked at the three [Stress Swarm] electronic devices and liked them more and more.

I wonder if any of Lola's friends need [Stress Swarm], since its ability to repair itself with a simple tap seems quite powerful.

I wonder if raising these three [stress worm swarms] will allow them to reproduce more.

Get rich, get rich!

Moreover, our company has a whole warehouse of this stuff!
Our company is incredibly wealthy!
he thinks.
