9: Chapter 9: Is this boss after your future girlfriend?

Hearing Lu Miaoxin say that he had been scammed,

Tan Zhuoren immediately retorted, "Impossible!

How is that possible?!

How could I possibly be scammed?!

Xinxin, I can guarantee you,

in our entire class,

or even the entire department,

no one knows phones better than I do!

After all, I follow this field constantly!"

Lu Miaoxin stared with her large eyes and said innocently, "But,

the phone I bought for 1,999,

is actually stronger than the phone you bought for 3,500!

And although I don't understand phones,

I still know math,

and I definitely know how to compare the size of numbers!

Yours is 2+16GB,

mine is 3+64GB,

so mine is definitely stronger than yours.

Yours has a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 1-megapixel front camera,

mine has a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera,

so I'm stronger than you in this too!

And didn't you just say it yourself?

This phone of mine is smoother when playing games than yours,

which means my processor is also stronger than yours!

It's stronger in every aspect,

and the price is lower than yours,

so doesn't that mean you were scammed?"

Seeing Lu Miaoxin say this with such a serious face,

Tan Zhuoren was momentarily speechless.

That's right!

How could this be?

Where did this phone come from?

He followed the tech circles constantly,

so how had he never heard of it before?

How could such a powerful and cheap phone suddenly appear?

But he still stubbornly said, "I couldn't have been scammed,

it's just that your device is really impressive.

I feel like it's a new model,

probably a product launched by some newly established phone manufacturer.

Setting the price so low must be to gain popularity.

What is this device called?

xiaomi 4, right?

Fine, I've noted it down,

I'm going to look it up when I get back!"

After the two of them finished eating,

they had originally planned to go to the library,

and wait for heroic battle records to finish downloading in the meantime.

But now that heroic battle records had long since finished downloading and installing,

and Tan Zhuoren had even played a match,

the two of them didn't go to the library,

but instead returned to their respective dorms for a nap.

After returning to the dorm,

Tan Zhuoren still had a somewhat dazed expression.

He had already used his phone to search on the way back.

xiaomi phone?

snapdragon 801 processor?

He couldn't find any information on the internet at all!

This was completely a knock-off phone that appeared out of nowhere!

But is the performance of knock-off phones this strong now?

He was truly puzzled.

After returning to the dorm,

he saw his roommate Da Ya playing on the computer,

having just finished a match of league of legends.

Da Ya was also a digital enthusiast,

who often browsed various digital forums,

and had a good understanding of current mobile phones.

So Tan Zhuoren immediately stopped Da Ya, who wanted to start another match,

and said, "Da Ya, don't start yet,

I want to ask you something."

Da Ya turned his head: "What is it? Speak up.

If you want to ask about relationship problems, you've come to the right person.

Besides my nickname Da Ya,

I have another nickname called Zhuge Kongming..."

Without waiting for Da Ya to continue his nonsense,

Tan Zhuoren interrupted him directly: "Have you heard of xiaomi phone?"

Da Ya shook his head: "xiaomi phone?

I've heard of Big Rice phones too!

What kind of phone is that?

Probably some off-brand phone!"

Tan Zhuoren said, "I hadn't heard of this brand before either,

you could call it an off-brand.

But let me tell you today,

my girlfriend..."

Da Ya quickly interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop.

You mean Miaoxin, right?

When did Miaoxin become your girlfriend?"

Tan Zhuoren: "Fine, fine, fine,

my future girlfriend, okay?

Can you stop worrying about the details??

Her old phone broke this morning,

so she went to a phone shop on the street next to the school and bought a new one,

called something like xiaomi phone."

Da Ya nodded: "Break up!"

Tan Zhuoren punched Da Ya directly: "Break up your granny's leg,

I'm asking you seriously."

Da Ya: "That's where you're wrong.

Listen to me explain.

She broke her phone,

and she'd rather go buy one herself

than ask you, the self-proclaimed digital god.

What does that mean?

It means she simply isn't interested in you!

So don't be so persistent."

Tan Zhuoren was truly speechless: "Can you, my 'dog-headed strategist,' stop analyzing our relationship?

She didn't ask me because it was an emergency at the time.

I'm telling you,

this xiaomi phone she bought is seriously awesome!"

Da Ya nodded: "Knock-off phones are awesome!

I know."

Tan Zhuoren shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no!

I mean seriously awesome!

It's a compliment,

it's truly awesome!

Listen to the specs.

Storage is 3+64GB."

Da Ya: "Normal. These knock-offs focus on large memory and large batteries.

They make the numbers bigger in these irrelevant areas just to get people to buy them."

Tan Zhuoren: "Rear camera is 13 megapixels,

front camera is 8 megapixels."

Da Ya raised an eyebrow: "Oh,

this knock-off has some level!

It really stacked some specs!

But high camera pixels don't necessarily mean it's good,

it still depends on the manufacturer's camera tuning."

Tan Zhuoren said with a look of despair: "I studied it just now,

the tuning is better than the Ideal phone I'm using now."

Da Ya: "Impossible!

Ideal is the ceiling for domestic Chinese phones!

How could a tiny knock-off phone have better tuning than an Ideal phone?

You're joking, right?"

Tan Zhuoren shook his head: "Not joking,

I'm serious,

why would I lie to you.

That's why I'm so puzzled now.

And it's not just the pixels,

it also uses some snapdragon 801 processor.

Have you heard of this processor?"

Da Ya shook his head repeatedly: "Never heard of it.

What level is this processor?"

Tan Zhuoren said: "A quad-core processor,

very common,

but its frequency is 2.5GHz."

"2.5GHz?

Isn't that even more impressive than the current top flagship of Ideal phones, the ideal a8?

I remember the ideal a8 is only 2.3GHz.

Back at the launch event,

Ideal was bragging like crazy about its processor!

The snapdragon 801 actually has 2.5GHz?

Wouldn't that just take off?"

Tan Zhuoren nodded: "Indeed!

I also played a match of heroic battle records.

You've played heroic battle records too,

so you know.

Anyway, it was much smoother than my current phone!"

Da Ya nodded: "I didn't expect Lu Miaoxin to not only be beautiful,

but also a rich lady!

This phone probably wasn't cheap, right?"

Tan Zhuoren: "That's the part I find most unbelievable.

Do you know how much this phone costs?

I don't think you could guess it even if you racked your brain.

It actually only costs 1,999!"

"What? That's impossible!"

Da Ya exclaimed on the spot,

waking up everyone else who was taking a nap on their beds.

"Can you two go outside and chat?

Can't you see I'm fucking sleeping?"

Hearing his roommate's angry roar,

Tan Zhuoren pulled Da Ya out into the hallway.

"Why would I lie to you?

I'm telling the truth!"

The two of them went through all sorts of analysis and pondering.

Finally, Da Ya said, "Is there a possibility

that the owner of that shop took a fancy to your future girlfriend,

meaning Lu Miaoxin,

so he intentionally gave her a discount

and only sold it to her for 1,999?"
