Chapter 001: Beauty Downloader

An Yuhang moved the mouse, hovering over the "Cancel" option on the screen, but just as he intended to click the mouse, an inexplicable sense of unease suddenly washed over him

With a loud crash, the already somewhat outdated desktop computer emitted a series of jarring sounds, the screen flickered as if it were going haywire, and then it went completely black

After An Yuhang's sixth attempt at the dungeon boss in the game "Conquest Road" ended in failure, resulting in the loss of a hard-earned piece of equipment that he had not yet bound, he could not help but kick the computer desk in frustration.

An Yuhang certainly does not want his old machine to just give up. Although even if it were to be infected with a severe virus, reinstalling the system would suffice, if the computer's hard drive were to be formatted due to a virus, erasing all those pictures of beautiful women and a large collection of high-quality Japanese adult films, An Yuhang would undoubtedly be so heartbroken that he wouldn't even be able to eat instant noodles.

Upon seeing this toolbar, An Yuhang's wolf eye immediately caught my attention, prompting me to click on it without a second thought. Subsequently, the screen flickered, and images of various portraits instantly appeared within the frame above.

Buzz ... ... Buzz ... ...

What on earth! Is this a mistake? It took over five minutes to install just one percent, so...! By the time this software is fully installed, won't it take nearly ten hours!

What... ? ... Why is there also a scruffy old man inside www.hetushu.com.com ?

As a gaming expert, An Yuhang rarely enjoyed a good night's sleep, but this morning, when the alarm rang, he did not linger in bed for the first time. He immediately turned over and got out of bed, hurriedly washed up, and then glanced at his watch. Seeing that there was still time, he quickly ran to the computer and turned on the monitor

Oh no... it can't be this unfortunate!

Indeed, the computer screen displays that the software has been successfully installed. Next, there are two options: "Launch Now" and "Close"

However, An Yuhang did not even think about the option of replacing it with a new hard drive and directly rejected it. The reason is simple: this poor child is already struggling to make ends meet with this month's food expenses, so where would he find spare money to buy a new hard drive

The virus ...! ... This ridiculous beauty downloader is definitely a virus; otherwise, what normal software would take such a long time to download

This time, the computer surprisingly did not even display the "Wendou Dead" program; as soon as it was powered on, it continued to emit that maddening "buzzing" sound. The screen directly showed the previous download page, along with the blue progress bar that had only completed one percent.

An Yuhang, upon seeing this, hurriedly shut down his computer. Then, with his hands clasped together, he closed his eyes and silently prayed to all the deities in the sky. After waiting for a moment, he nervously restarted the computer.

An Yuhang initially intended to simply close this page and forcefully delete the software after looking at the images and documents. However, he suddenly had a thought, wondering if it was a bit too wasteful to delete this software that had taken an entire night to install without even taking a glance at it. He thought to himself, perhaps it would be better to take a quick look. After all, the morning was too short, and there wouldn't be enough time to reinstall the system; he would have to wait until he returned in the evening to deal with it.

However, the speed of that progress bar was surprisingly slower than a snail's crawl. An Yuhang patiently waited for quite a while, yet there was no sign of any response from the progress bar. It was not until five or six minutes later that a prompt indicating one percent installed finally appeared above the progress bar

Having made up his mind, An Yuhang decided to ignore the software that was being installed slowly like a snail. He did not turn off the computer, but instead took off his shoes and got into bed—off to a date with the sister of the King of Dreams

An Yuhang was momentarily taken aback, unable to comprehend what this old machine was acting up about, as it suddenly displayed such a page. Just a moment ago, he had been playing a game and had not visited any chaotic websites to download Japanese adult films. How could it seem as if he had contracted a virus?

An Yuhang shook his head with a wry smile, naturally regarding the suddenly appearing page as a virus or rogue software spread by some junk websites. ... It was quite obvious ... ? ... At this moment, An Yuhang had just powered on his computer and had not yet connected to the broadband, so what else could have popped up from his computer if not rogue software? hetushu.com .com. ... At this moment, An Yuhang had just powered on his computer and had not yet connected to the broadband, so what else could have popped up from his computer if not rogue software? hetushu.com .com.

Damn it! How did it fail again!

What on earth, is this how you play with people!

An Yuhang hesitated for a moment, ultimately unable to bring himself to click on the two words "Cancel." In the end, unable to resist the temptation within, he gritted his teeth and... finally moved the mouse cursor over to the "Install" option, clicking down heavily on it.

Amitabha, may God bless, my computer ancestors, please do not break down... Amen

An Yuhang gasped in shock upon seeing this; this computer was the very lifeline of An Yuhang. Although it was slightly damaged, it embodied all his hopes for a fulfilling mental life. If the computer were to break down and become unusable, An Yuhang could hardly imagine how he would endure the countless sleepless nights ahead.

Buzz ... ... Buzz ... ...

It seems that this time it is impossible to avoid reinstalling the system! ... Sigh ... ... Hopefully, this time, reinstalling only the C drive will be enough to eliminate the virus ... ...

The download of the live-action beauty downloader was successful. Would you like to install it now?

[Install], [Cancel]

These portrait images appear in a scrolling manner, with each image remaining in the frame for less than one second before being replaced by another image

What is a real-life beauty downloader? Can one really download a genuine beauty? This is truly amusing

The computer emitted a series of dull sounds reminiscent of a tractor starting up, and finally managed to boot up with great difficulty. Just as everything seemed to be proceeding normally and the initial "Wendou Dead" diagnostic program was completed, it unexpectedly froze right before entering the desktop. Immediately afterward, a strange dialog box appeared on the computer screen:

In a state of helplessness, An Yuhang could only choose to yield, allowing this rogue software to act as it pleased. It's just ten hours, after all. Just right, as he hasn't been sleeping well these past few days; tonight is a perfect opportunity to catch up on some good rest

An Yuhang sat dejectedly in front of the computer for ten minutes, and after finding the installation disc, he finally rebooted the machine, preparing to reinstall the system on his old computer. However, when the screen lit up, he collapsed once again.

In this case, An Yuhang has only two options: either to shut down the computer and remove the hard drive from the main unit to replace it with a new one, or to obediently wait for this rogue software to finish installing

Originally, An Yuhang thought that since this software was called "Beauty Downloader," the selected avatar images for download should naturally all be beautiful women. However, An Yuhang soon discovered that the images displayed here were not just beautiful women!

With a soft beep, a beautiful frame-like page appeared on the monitor, but the center of the frame was still blank. At the top, there was a row of toolbars, the first of which was "Select Download Target"

An Yuhang was so furious that his teeth itched, and he decisively resorted to a hard shutdown method, forcefully turning off the computer to resolve the matter

What a disgrace, it truly is rogue software! Once you choose to install it with * images * and * books *, it doesn't allow you to change your mind!

With An Yuhang's click this time, the old machine emitted a piercing noise once again, followed by a blue installation progress bar appearing on the screen

An Yuhang was immediately taken aback; what kind of rogue software is this? It's incredibly powerful, to the point that even the "Wen Dou Si" program cannot be launched. In that case, formatting the computer is also impossible.

Live-action beauty downloader! ... What exactly could this be ...? Downloading a real person is impossible, but... could it be a software for converting 2D images? ... Uh ... If this software can truly transform flat images into 3D stereoscopic images, then... it would certainly provide a great visual experience!

An Yuhang's eyes suddenly turned blue

Thinking of this, An Yuhang could no longer resist his curiosity. Anxiously, he moved the mouse and gently clicked on the "Start Now" option.

Surely by tomorrow this software will eventually finish installing! When that time comes, this troublesome software cannot continue to monopolize the screen, can it? If that happens, he will have the opportunity to uninstall this software, and I refuse to believe that this rogue software can remain stuck on his computer!

However, what left An Yuhang utterly frustrated was the realization that there was simply no option to cancel the installation on the screen, and moreover, the download page lacked any icon to close it. In other words, it was entirely impossible for An Yuhang to terminate or end this installation task through normal operations
