Chapter 112 Cyber Doctor
This student was also a boy. When it was his turn, he immediately sat down casually and took the initiative to explain his problem: "Hey, I can't open the game either, but my roommate and I have tried to figure it out, but we haven't found a solution."
He had obviously heard what the student in front of him had said, and then added, trying to sound very professional: "Mine has a complete game program, it's not just a shortcut."
Chen Sui tried it, and double-clicking the game's main program only resulted in a brief white screen flash before returning to the desktop.
Goodness, I thought it was just a routine to clean the dust off my computer and wipe the keyboard and screen, but I never expected to run into such a complicated problem.
"See?" The boy shrugged, as if he had expected this to happen.
Chen Sui, on the other hand, had a very calm mindset. She believed that encountering problems was not scary; as long as she thought about how to solve them, she could manage.
I glanced at the folder and saw that it was named BioShock 2.
"Judging from the name... it doesn't seem like a domestic game, does it?" Chen Sui asked after a moment's thought. After all, under Chen Che's influence, she had some knowledge of well-known domestic and foreign games, but she didn't know about the really obscure ones.
The boy's eyes lit up. There aren't many girls who understand computer hardware and software these days, and even fewer who understand games. He was surprised to find an SSR game in school. He immediately began to talk at length about the game.
In short, this is a first-person single-player shooter game with the main storyline of an elderly father searching for his daughter. In addition to the gameplay itself, it also has an excellent storyline.
He stumbled upon someone else's video online, became so engrossed that he decided to download it and experience it for himself.
However, I'm a little ashamed to say that I only played the learning version. After all, I'm a poor student and don't have the money to support legitimate games. Besides, Steam isn't that widespread yet, so paying for it is quite troublesome.
"This game probably doesn't have Chinese support, right?" Listening to the other person's introduction, Chen Sui also thought about the software she had installed. Many of them didn't natively support Chinese either. She either had to force herself to use the English version or see if someone had made a Chinese translation pack.
"Yes," the boy said, also feeling the same way about the issue of game language support. Having finally met a fellow enthusiast, and wanting to show off his extensive knowledge, he began to speak at length: "Actually, I feel that our domestic game market is huge, but foreign manufacturers simply don't realize it."
"Domestic games are all trashy pay-to-win games. It's just that making single-player games is too unprofitable. Even some well-known companies can't survive, let alone indie games."
"There is currently no suitable environment for this paid buyout system in China. It could have existed, but it was killed by a previous ban."
"From now on, I want to make games, and I want to make a game that foreigners will get hooked on, waiting for them to leave comments saying 'We need English!'"
Chen Sui was amused by his impassioned attitude and smiled. Who can predict the future? She had heard that only about five percent of indie game developers make money, while the rest either die before they even begin or fail to break even.
"Alright, that's settled then. I was just here to try my luck, not to deliberately make things difficult for you." Seeing that there seemed to be no way to solve the problem, the boy didn't insist. It wasn't a loss to come and chat with someone who shared the same interests.
"Wait a minute, just a little while," Chen Che suddenly interrupted.
Although she wasn't entirely sure, the topic of language did give her some inspiration. The software she had downloaded before couldn't be opened because the path contained Chinese characters in the file name. Chen Che changed the Chinese characters in the path for her, and then it could be opened.
This could also be due to the same reason: foreign games don't support Chinese characters very well.
So Chen Che immediately changed the name of the BioShock folder to the abbreviation, and once again, double-clicked to launch the EXE program.
Sure enough, a miracle happened!
The laptop fan started working, making a whirring noise, and the screen went black for a few seconds before the game developer's logo, 2K Games, popped up.
"Alright, go ahead and play in English, it's fine, you'll need it for the CET-4 and CET-6 anyway." Seeing that the problem was solved, Chen Sui relaxed and teased her with a smile.
"Wow, classmate, you're amazing!" the boy exclaimed. None of his roommates had been able to figure it out, and they had given up hope of getting it fixed at this repair stall, but it actually worked.
Although it was just a small problem of changing a folder name, I never would have thought of that, and someone else was able to solve it.
Chen Sui maintained a calm expression for a moment, and said lightly, "It's alright."
But I was genuinely happy, because solving such difficult problems is quite interesting.
"A miracle doctor, a cyber miracle doctor!" The other person gave a thumbs up without hesitation, praising him, and even posted it on their WeChat Moments: "A cyber miracle doctor is providing free medical consultations at the entrance of the cafeteria and dormitory south of Mirror Lake. Come quickly if you need him."
"Next!" Feeling a little smug after being praised as a "cyber doctor," Chen Sui waved his arm in a very cool manner, letting the student behind him sit down.
A boy wearing glasses sat down and said in a mysterious tone, "Excuse me, you've definitely never encountered this problem before."
"What's the problem? Tell me about it," Chen Sui asked curiously.
"Ahem," the boy cleared his throat and said, "I've been organizing my files these past couple of days and I've noticed something really strange. My E drive clearly shows 200GB used, but when I calculate the file size, it's only 180GB. Weird, right? The seller must have sold me a fake hard drive!"
"That's unlikely. This isn't a mobile phone; it already uses up some of the system's memory space when it leaves the factory," Chen Sui said after thinking for a moment.
"Hmm, that's true... So how come there's such a problem?" The bespectacled man looked completely puzzled.
"Let me see." Chen Sui took the computer, opened the calculator, added up the file sizes, and found that it was indeed the case.
However, she still trusted the computer more, because the computer had a function called "set to hide folder".
Chen Sui opened the menu bar, found the corresponding display option, and checked it. Sure enough, a new folder appeared in the directory, named "Top Secret!!"
"Hey classmate, you forgot about the hidden folder you set up earlier, didn't you?" Chen Sui said with a smile.
Reminded by Chen Sui, the boy suddenly realized and said "Oh," indicating that it was indeed true.
However, his expression immediately changed. After all, what he was hiding was his top secret, and if others found out, he would be completely finished.
It was obvious that his reaction speed was not as fast as Chen Sui's mouse click.
Several new folders instantly appeared in the next level directory: Etiquette Tutorial for Gentlemen, Butter Making Method, and Tram Commuting Guide.
Before I could click any further, the other person snatched the computer back, laughing loudly, "It's okay, it's okay, I forgot, hahahahahaha."
