Chapter 213 Gloating over Misfortune
Wang Ling is not a saint. His previous experiment with electromagnetic power caused a power outage in the entire dormitory building. Although he was a little embarrassed, in the end he could only scratch his head in frustration without much psychological burden.
In the dormitory, whether the lights broke or the power strips burned out, these were all within his affordability. They were not expensive after all, but computers were different!
This kind of thing is still a valuable item to Wang Ling now, and he will feel distressed if it is damaged. It is true that Wang Ling now has no shortage of money on hand because of the different-dimensional system. He even converted all his points into cash, which is enough to buy hundreds of expensive laptops. But he doesn't want to be so extravagant. The money is not for use. It's so noisy.
What's more, this computer contains a lot of his information and records, which cannot be easily replaced.
After looking at the computer and struggling for a while, Wang Ling sighed, feeling helpless: "There is no other way. Let's see if it can be repaired tomorrow."
Generally speaking, there are not many electrical appliances in the dormitory. In addition to computers, Wang Ling also found some small electrical appliances that appeared to be fine but were actually scrapped during subsequent inspections. Fortunately, the value of these things was still in his possession. Within the acceptable range. Finally, I checked my phone. Fortunately, the phone had not been damaged. It was still usable and had not lost contact with the outside world.
After all the inspections were completed, Wang Ling shook his head with a wry smile. He would be busy next.
His right hand needed to work, and he couldn't use the thunderball to illuminate it all the time. He simply turned on his mobile phone and turned it into a flashlight, using this light to clean up the residue of the lamp tubes.
And this cleaning only takes half an hour.
Those on the floor are easier to clean, but the ones that are more difficult are the debris that splashed onto the upper bunk. After all, this is for people to live in. If a piece of debris is accidentally missed, when those unreliable roommates come back, they may be woken up in the middle of the night and scream, so it must be cleaned up. Just make it clean.
After finally finishing his work, Wang Lingcai fell straight on the bed. Having fought in the Red Alert world for so long and receiving a lot of military experience, Wang Ling was already tired. After struggling for so long, he was really tired.
Some time has passed since Wang Ling caused a power outage in the entire dormitory. Almost all the game fans in the dormitory have gone to the Internet cafe, but among the remaining people, there are still quite a few who are still chattering. Yes, the entire dormitory building is quite lively tonight.
But no matter how lively it was, Wang Ling couldn't be interfered with. At this time, he had already fallen into a drowsy sleep.
This time, he slept particularly soundly due to his exertion. When he opened his eyes again, it was already three o'clock in the morning before he knew it.
After getting up and stretching, Wang Ling accidentally noticed his right hand, and by accident, there seemed to be a faint flash of lightning. He clenched his fist, and with a thought, arcs of electricity flashed on the surface of his fist, which looked very bright.
Although he took a snooze today and missed his morning exercise, Wang Ling was still filled with excitement because of the electromagnetic device that the system fed back.
However, after the excitement, Wang Ling became a little troubled. Yesterday, it was because of this electromagnetic device that it caused him a lot of trouble, and he had to be busy with these things today.
After washing up, Wang Ling put the computer in his backpack, took all the burned power strips in the dormitory, and threw them into the garbage truck downstairs. After having lunch in the cafeteria, he left the school and took a taxi. A nearby computer store showed off his damaged laptop.
After inspection by the boss, it was found that some sensitive parts on the motherboard of the computer were burned out. Although it is a little more troublesome to repair, it can still be repaired.
When Wang Ling heard this, he instantly became happy. However, the repair took a long time, so Wang Ling didn't wait any longer. He simply went to a nearby shopping mall to buy some power strips and some small electrical appliances, and took a look around. Bought some snacks.
When I returned to the computer store, the boss had already repaired the computer. Wang Ling tried it and found that it could indeed be opened. Then he happily settled the bill and returned to school.
Wang Ling has now finished all the things he could be busy with. However, the school's troubles have only just begun. After a large number of complaints from students throughout the dormitory building, the maintenance department was extremely busy. When Wang Ling returned to school, the maintenance masters were still testing the dormitory building. Electrical failure.
Although Wang Ling was the one who caused the trouble, he couldn't reveal those secrets. At that moment, he was so shameless that he went up and asked, "Master, what's going on?"
The maintenance master was holding a paintbrush and drawing something on the drawing board. Hearing Wang Ling's question, he raised his head and glanced at him, then shook his head with a grimace and said, "I'm so weird, your dormitory." I don’t know what happened to the building. A large number of circuits were burned out, and we have to check and repair them one by one. Maybe we have to replace a lot of wires and cables. This workload is no worse than an overall overhaul!"
When Wang Ling heard this, he immediately twitched his lips. He didn't expect that his test would cause such serious damage.
However, no matter how serious it is, Wang Ling is just a "victim" now, and he even asked with a straight face: "How did this happen?"
The maintenance man sighed and showed a troubled look: "Who knows, it didn't rain last night, so it couldn't have been struck by lightning. Besides, there are lightning rods on the roof! The wires in this dormitory are very thick. , even if you collectively turn on the air conditioner, there will be no problem, but it burned like this inexplicably!"
At this point, another maintenance man holding an electric meter laughed happily: "The workload this time is not small. It should last for several days. This is what we do, so it doesn't matter. But. You guys are going to be miserable these days, and you will have to live without electricity for a few days. But fortunately, the water supply is not cut off, otherwise your life would be really sad."
As he spoke, he clicked his tongue and shook his head.
But Wang Ling looked dumbfounded. After all, who should be gloating over misfortune?
Wang Ling didn't hold on to this problem. After dealing with it casually for a few words, he returned to the dormitory carrying the computer, power strips and various electrical appliances.
Modern society is inseparable from electricity, and this is even more true in the dormitory building of this university. Without electricity, there is no Internet. These days, many senior otakus cannot bear it and do not want to stay in the dormitory. Some went to Internet cafes, some went out for fun, and even worse, even went to class in front of the teachers’ shocked expressions!
However, these days had little impact on Wang Ling. The power of the mobile phone is supplied by a power bank. It is not a problem to maintain it for a few days. There is nothing to worry about. At best, it will not be able to play games. However, Wang Ling can still experience the game world in person without being able to play it on the computer.
