Chapter 5, The Unfortunate Students

Some people are watching movies, some are playing games, and some are browsing Weibo, each engaged in their own activities

Scrolling back, there are over 1,000 comments, which shows just how popular this video is. This number only accounts for those who left comments; the number of viewers who watched without commenting is even more unknown.

Upon seeing this, Dong Chen truly broke into a cold sweat; the information age is indeed terrifying. If it weren't for a dormitory building conveniently blocking the impact point, he might have been in serious trouble!

Upon viewing this data, everyone expressed their astonishment

However, the losses this time are indeed significant. The statistics mentioned above do not include those who did not share pictures, and some losses incurred by the school have also not been accounted for. When all these are calculated, the total losses may be enough to purchase several apartments in Shimen Zhuang City

I won't go into specifics; just know that it is quite impressive.

At this moment, the roommates rushed in in a hurry

Floor 1237: "Students who think of the 'Nine Heavens Thunder True Formula', please raise your hands! True transmission of the Qingyun Sect!"

Some individuals have taken photos of their damaged computers and mobile phones and posted them online, expressing various forms of distress and seeking comfort

Indeed, you have suffered greatly

After a few people finished their meal and returned to the dormitory, they discovered that there was already a power supply, indicating that the line had been repaired.

Seventy-three floors: "Oh my! It looks so piercing! A bolt of lightning descends from the sky!"

Forget it, although I said this morning that you should treat me, but you probably are poorer than I am now, having suddenly spent over 8,000!" As soon as Dong Chen finished speaking, Li Xiang interrupted.

As soon as Dong Chen finished speaking, he noticed everyone looking at him with disdain, as if their eyes were saying, "Compared to those students who are still asking their parents for money, you are the high and mighty among students, alright!"

The CPU, graphics card, hard drive, and memory all show signs of burning. After checking for a long time, only the fan is functioning properly, and the case is still usable

"Old Dong, you really need to start over; these are the only ones left that are relatively intact and useless!" Ding Boyang said

Upon hearing this, everyone let out a slight sigh of relief, but they still opened their computers to take a look. Since the computers of Li Xiang, Zhang Chengming, Ding Boyang, and Liu Jingshou were all laptops, they were able to turn them on even during the power outage

... ...

Zhang Chengming also said: "Old Dong, your data has not been submitted yet. If your data is submitted, it will add another 10,000 yuan!"

A few people walked together towards the cafeteria, discussing the lightning strike incident along the way. Upon entering the cafeteria and placing their orders, they found that the surroundings were also filled with discussions about this matter, creating a noisy atmosphere

Mu Xiaoji saw that the four of them were all using their computers, and with nothing to do himself, he said to Dong Chen: "Brother Dong, you really had a rough time this time, your newly configured computer is already out of commission!"

Upon hearing Zhang Chengming's voice, the others also turned their heads to look over. After glancing, they all looked at Dong Chen with expressions of sympathy.

In the future, I must be careful, careful, and even more careful; I find troubles to be the most annoying.

Mu Xiaoji quickly opened his computer, and only when he saw the familiar desktop did he truly breathe a sigh of relief

... ...

Hey! Comrades, look at the campus forum! Liu Jingshou shouted

Beihe Normal University is a provincial key university with a century-long history and glorious traditions, located in Shimen Zhuang City, the capital of Beihe Province. It is a national first-class university that receives key support from Beihe Province.

Xu Weidong has already left, and Dong Chen is currently on the balcony watching the electricians repair the circuit. Just a moment ago, he also glanced at the transmission pattern, which has already shown a hint of blue.

It seems that none of our computers are having any issues

Zhang Chengming was sitting nearby, turned his head to look over, and said with a click of his tongue: "What a disaster, it's completely burned to a crisp"

"Whether to report it or not, the school does not cover the losses!" Dong Chen said nonchalantly

This afternoon, these individuals do not plan to go out; they will stay peacefully in the dormitory.

"Ahem, please don't all look at me like that," Dong Chen said, glancing at the watch. "Look, it's already noon. I'm treating, let's go, let's go!"

... ...

Sigh, could you please stop bringing me down? Can you slow down a bit with the follow-up attacks? OK?" Dong Chen said helplessly

As soon as these individuals entered, they saw Dong Chen's smoking computer, which made them feel anxious, prompting them to quickly check their own computers

So far, it has been confirmed that 95 items have been exploded, including computers, mobile phones, tablets, and various electronic products. Furthermore, data analysts have estimated the approximate value of these items to be between 400,000 and 500,000

There is another post that is quite popular, titled "Show It Off, See How Miserable You Are!"

As everyone opened the forum, Dong Chen also joined in. Upon entering, he discovered that the forum had been overwhelmed by the "Lightning Strike Incident"!

Li Xiang also said: "Isn't that so? The more useless it is, the more intact it remains"

Who says otherwise, it's nearly 10,000 yuan, I have to sell several models to earn it back

Fifth floor: "No way? Aren't there two lightning strikes? It's just that the landing point of the second one is unknown."

It turns out that there are quite a few people who have posted about their losses. Fortunately, there is a counter in the thread, so there is no need to count them manually

Li Xiang directly said: "Hey! Do you really have to be so calm? Are you really that wealthy?"

As soon as he entered, Li Xiang hurriedly asked

Old Dong, is there anything wrong with our computer

Dong Chen moved his computer down and opened the main case, only to find that it was a complete mess inside; the power supply was completely unusable and had burned out

Third floor: "Since ancient times, the second floor has been foolish! No explanation!"

Everyone had a look of "You are truly composed" on their faces

Let us each eat our own.

The campus is home to numerous research institutions that have produced a significant number of research achievements, including many at the national level. In various fields such as politics, academia, and education, there have been many prominent figures.

From the initial lightning strike to the tree being struck by lightning, and finally to the bolt that caused the appliances to be rendered inoperable, all were present; however, the last bolt of lightning was obstructed by the building, and the point of impact was not visible, capturing only the first half of the event

Fourth Floor: "Why was only that one tree struck? Was it a coincidence?"

Dong Chen could only look on in speechless disbelief.

There are indeed quite a few individuals building towers beneath this video, expressing all sorts of opinions

Dong Chen was speechless; what does calmness have to do with being a wealthy person? Although, in the eyes of students, I really can be considered a minor wealthy individual.

Building 682: "Is this the legendary 'Thunderstruck Wood'? Can it ward off evil spirits?"

I have only just left for a short while! Such a big incident has occurred!

First floor: "Wow! Truly magnificent!"

As the sky cleared, the school promptly notified the power supply bureau to inspect and repair the circuit

"It won't be back for a while, so let's go eat!" Zhang Chengming said in the end

Moreover, there were actually people who captured the moment of a tree being struck by lightning, and it was recorded on video

It is necessary to commend the influence of Dong Chen's school, which is Beihe Normal University.

Only Mu Xiaoji's computer is a desktop like Dong Chen's; it cannot be turned on without power, but since there is no smoke, the problem should not be significant

"It should be fine! Just now, Old Xu also came by and said that the appliance that had the issue was smoking. Something must have happened inside. It was obvious!" Dong Chen casually said to them

Before long, an electric maintenance vehicle arrived at the dormitory area

Thus, I stayed in the dormitory for the entire afternoon, and until the lights went out at night, the "lightning strike incident" continued to escalate. For the tranquil campus, this was indeed a significant event, especially with so many students being affected.

Second floor: "That is the tree planted by this old monk one thousand years ago!"

I told you early on, but you still didn't believe it!" Dong Chen said with a pout.
