Looking at Chu Yun's excitement, which seemed like a seizure, his three roommates looked at each other in confusion.
"Second, are you okay?"
Chu Yun muttered softly, but the others didn't hear him clearly. That's why they were confused and had no idea what was going on with their roommate.
Unfortunately, Chu Yun's head was too excited at the moment. Just like he didn't hear what his roommates said, he lowered his head and stared at the paper box in his hand for a while. Then he tore off the outer layer of transparent wrapping paper and opened it.
Wang Ning and Lin Zhengyu couldn't help but stretch their necks to look over. The moment the box opened, they saw what was inside.
"A connection line and a box the size of a palm? What is this?"
After seeing what was inside, Lin Zhengyu couldn't help but continue to ask curiously.
Chu Yun didn't have high expectations for what he bought, just by looking at the packaging. After all, in this era of eye-catching packaging, even Apple's products have specially designed packaging. Other products naturally follow suit. By now, even if you buy a phone case for ten or twenty yuan online, it will have decent packaging.
The thing in Chu Yun's hand looked clean, but it was too simple. There was only a connection line and a black box that was less than the size of a palm inside, making it difficult to understand its purpose.
"This should be a portable hard drive..."
The moment Chu Yun opened the box, he frowned instead.
Although he had only started using portable hard drives in the past two years and had only purchased a 500GB and a 1TB hard drive, he was not completely ignorant about them.
Therefore, when he saw the box that contained what appeared to be a portable hard drive, he was greatly disappointed. "How could a 1TB hard drive be so small? I knew it. Who would be stupid enough to do such a loss-making thing as to give away a 1TB hard drive for free when you sign up for a lifetime membership for 199 yuan?"
Feeling disappointed, his movements slowed down.
As a result, Wang Ning next to him saw his impatience and simply reached out and grabbed the box that was less than the size of a palm. He leaned in to take a closer look at the fox-shaped logo with a metallic sheen on the box cover, and praised, "Is this your new mobile flash drive? How much memory does it have? Why is it so big?"
Chu Yun gave him a disdainful look and took out several warranty cards and instruction sheets that looked like they came with the portable hard drive. He was about to read them when he heard Lin Zhengyu exclaim.
"Oh my god, a 1TB hard drive? What brand is it? Why is it so small?"
Chu Yun turned his head to see that Wang Ning had checked the portable hard drive himself since he didn't respond. As a result, they saw a few lines of small print on the back of the portable hard drive, clearly marked with "1T" and "Cybertron Technology."
Seeing his roommates looking at him, seemingly wanting to confirm why the hard drive was so small, Chu Yun shrugged helplessly. "Don't look at me. Do you remember the Cybertron Cloud Disk I mentioned to you a few days ago? This hard drive was given to me when I signed up for a Cybertron Cloud Disk lifetime membership!"
Two days ago, Chu Yun received a notification that the membership function of his Cybertron Cloud Disk had been launched. Out of curiosity, he clicked on it and was skeptical of the official propaganda of Cybertron Cloud Disk.
Originally, Chu Yun wasn't in a hurry to activate any membership functions. After all, he had only been using Cybertron Cloud Disk for just over a week. Because he had registered with his real name, his account actually had a two-month trial period.
However, when he saw the official announcement that a 1T portable hard drive would be given away for free when he signed up for a lifetime membership, Chu Yun couldn't help but be tempted.
Especially since the official website promised to deliver it within two days to the Yangtze River Delta region, he hesitated for more than half an hour with a skeptical attitude before finally spending 199 yuan to sign up for Cybertron Cloud Disk's lifetime membership.
"Given away for free?"
Wang Ning, Lin Zhengyu, and Chu Yun looked at each other. When Chu Yun nodded, they passed around a portable hard drive and all had expressions of distrust on their faces.
"Second brother, are you sure you're not being scammed? There's no way a 1TB hard drive can be this small..."
Chu Yun took it and weighed it in his hand. It was lighter than his Apple iPhone 4s, and his displeasure was evident.
Seeing this, their roommates who were still talking stopped and tried to persuade them.
"Well, it might not be a scam. Why don't we try connecting it to a computer and see..."
"Yeah, let's not jump to conclusions. What if it's real..."
After some persuasion, Chu Yun agreed. He suppressed his frustration and started his laptop computer. He unplugged the connection line and prepared to test the portable hard drive.
As soon as he connected it to the computer, Chu Yun subconsciously looked at the USB port and saw the words "USB 3.0" clearly written.
As soon as he plugged it into his laptop, a simple page popped up on his computer desktop. "The Cybertronian portable hard drive requires customized driver software for faster data read and write. Would you like to install it?"
Chu Yun glanced at the antivirus software in the lower right corner of his computer, and without hesitation, he clicked "install."
In an instant, the progress bar was complete, and then "My Computer" automatically popped up, with a new hard drive icon appearing.
Suddenly, Chu Yun felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw that his roommates had crowded around him, stretching their necks to see what was going on. He didn't pay them any attention and clicked on the new hard drive icon. He right-clicked and opened the properties, and his eyes widened in surprise.
At the same time, there were several exclamations.
"Wow, it's really 1000G?"
"It's really a 1TB hard drive..."
"No, maybe it's fake memory... Second brother, try putting something in it and see..."
Chu Yun was too happy to hear his roommates' exclamations.
He nodded and selected a 4.2G Ultra HD movie from the "Classic Collection" hard drive in "My Computer." He right-clicked to copy it and was about to paste it into the portable hard drive when a prompt box appeared on his computer screen.
"The Cybertronian portable hard drive prompts you that you have just copied 'Battle of North Africa.' Would you like to transfer it to the portable hard drive?"
"Is this even possible?"
He clicked "yes" with interest. The next second, a progress bar appeared on the prompt box and ended in less than two seconds, followed by a light "ding" sound indicating that the data transfer was complete.
Chu Yun quickly exited the "Classic Collection" hard drive and reopened the portable hard drive icon.
The next moment, a movie called "Battle of North Africa" was quietly lying in the empty hard drive.
