There was no value in modification, and Jing Mingqiu encountered this situation for the first time, but it was no challenge for him.
While Yun Pengtao was looking for the dorm supervisor to re-energize the power for the third time, Jing Mingqiu opened his suitcase and took out a roll of copper wire. He bent it back and forth, creating a mini transformer core.
Then, Jing Mingqiu placed the core onto Yun Pengtao's transformer, and the scan results changed.
[Name: Simple Transformer]
[Introduction: A crudely made transformer using copper wire. It can change voltage but is extremely dangerous, with a high probability of electric leakage and spontaneous combustion.]
[Modification plan generating...]
This time, the lights took longer to come back on. After nearly an hour, the dorm finally had power again.
Yun Pengtao returned much later, showing up in the dorm, looking exhausted, half an hour later.
During this time, Jing Mingqiu took out his custom tool kit and quickly modified Yun Pengtao's simple transformer.
Ten minutes after the lights came back on, Yun Pengtao returned to the dorm, looking tired. Seeing Jing Mingqiu fiddling with the transformer, he sighed deeply.
"Boss, just throw that transformer away. I talked to the dorm supervisor and found out that these transformers bought online are all fake. Real transformers are much bigger because they need coils to change voltage..."
"It's fine," Jing Mingqiu interrupted him directly. He picked up the transformer, plugged it into the socket, connected it to the hairdryer, and pressed the switch.
"Don't!"
Yun Pengtao was startled and reflexively pulled out his phone, preparing to use the flashlight for illumination after the lights went out.
Three seconds, five seconds, twenty seconds...
A minute passed quickly. Jing Mingqiu blew his hair for a moment, drying it to prevent it from sticking up like his hair after a fight.
Yun Pengtao watched from the side, wide-eyed and disbelieving, "Isn't this thing fake? Why are you using the hairdryer, boss? It won't trip the breaker!"
Jing Mingqiu shrugged it off and returned the hairdryer to Tang Bei, "I modified it a bit. This transformer can be used normally now."
"Modified? Won't there be any accidents with your modified transformer?"
"Second Brother, you don't have to worry about that," Tang Bei took the hairdryer and started blowing his hair, proudly explaining, "Boss's modification skills are far beyond your imagination. Forget a small transformer, he can even make drones incredibly powerful!"
Yun Pengtao was skeptical, "Really?"
"Of course it's true," Tang Bei eagerly took out his phone and opened a picture. "This is a commemorative photo of the Black Wolf team winning the international league. The drones they used were modified by Boss himself."
Yun Pengtao was stunned, "This..."
"And this," Tang Bei couldn't wait to continue introducing Jing Mingqiu's achievements, "If the Black Wolf team hadn't secretly replaced the chips due to disbelief in Boss's skills, the national championship would have been ours too. This is the interview transcript, and this is the apology letter..."
Listening to Tang Bei enumerate his achievements with drones and feeling Yun Pengtao's growing admiration, Jing Mingqiu suddenly felt like laughing.
Modifying a small drone, what was that? If they knew he had personally built a top-tier lithography machine and directed the Nuclear Physics Research Institute to achieve controllable nuclear fusion, they would probably die of shock!
"Alright, stop talking," Jing Mingqiu interrupted Tang Bei's flattery with a smile. "I was just lucky. Achieving such good results is the result of the Black Wolf team's players' hard work."
"Let's go to sleep quickly. We have to be on the sports field at 5:30 tomorrow morning for military training!"
The others just then remembered that the university had a two-week military training period. Recalling the terrifying descriptions of military training online, they dared not delay and quickly got into their beds to sleep.
The next morning, Jing Mingqiu was woken up by his alarm. He took his three roommates to the cafeteria for a simple breakfast, then headed to the sports field, where the military training instructors were already waiting in formation.
Standing at attention, shouting slogans, forming neat squares under the scorching sun, marching in step...
The first day of military training served as a harsh introduction for many university freshmen. Everyone was thoroughly exhausted by the instructors' drills.
Jing Mingqiu had spent the entire summer vacation busy hosting research projects and had no time to exercise. His stamina was already at its limit.
That evening, back in the dorm, Jing Mingqiu collapsed onto his bed, too tired to even speak.
"Ding ding dong dong!"
A continuous knocking sound woke Jing Mingqiu from his semi-conscious state. He weakly turned his head and saw Yun Pengtao rhythmically hammering a steel plate with a hammer.
"Second Brother, what are you doing?"
Yun Pengtao was very excited, "I bought a military training artifact online. If I wear this, others will have to stand at attention painstakingly, but we can sit comfortably."
"There's such a thing?" Jing Mingqiu's interest was piqued. He pushed himself up from the bed and went over to Yun Pengtao. He tossed a system scan at the military training artifact, preparing to study it in detail.
Just then, Yun Pengtao had finished putting on the military training artifact. He walked forward a couple of steps like a crab and took the initiative to demonstrate.
"It's like this! Press these two buttons, and this frame locks in place. Then we can sit down like on a stool."
"Second Brother," Tang Bei examined it closely, his brow furrowed. "Isn't this a bit too obvious? Besides, military training isn't just standing at attention, there's also marching. Are you sure you can march like this?"
Yun Pengtao looked at himself in the mirror pasted on the wall, then released the buttons and walked a couple of steps before gasping.
"Hiss! This thing was advertised so well, but it's so disappointing to use!"
"Second Brother," Tang Bei chuckled, "This is the second time you've been ripped off by online shopping. Listen to me, the world of online shopping is too deep for you to grasp..."
Yun Pengtao directly interrupted Tang Bei, "Go away, go away. I'm not that Ga Zi! This thing is still within the seven-day no-reason return period. I'll take leave tomorrow afternoon and find a courier station to return it."
"Don't rush to return it yet," Jing Mingqiu's eyes lit up as he looked at the data from the system scan. "Second Brother, this thing is useless to you. Why don't you sell it to me? I'll modify it."
Yun Pengtao was generous, "We're brothers in the same dorm, why talk about selling? I'll give it to you! I was wondering how to ask the instructor for leave."
Jing Mingqiu didn't hesitate and quickly unstrapped the military training artifact from Yun Pengtao's leg. "I'll test it first. If the modification is successful, I'll arrange one for each of us in the dorm."
"Great!" Tang Bei responded loudly, "Boss, whether we can survive military training alive depends entirely on you!"
Xia Zhongtian, who had been shrinking in the corner, timidly spoke up, "Military training isn't that scary, is it? Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, I have some muscle ache relief medicated wine here. Rub it on yourselves! It's very effective..."
Xia Zhongtian's good intentions could not be ignored. As Yun Pengtao stepped forward to take the medicated wine from him, Tang Bei's exclamation suddenly rang out from behind him!
