Chapter 142 Dial-up Internet! Ask for a monthly pass (Holy King txt download)

Coming out of the gymnasium, Lin Hong and the three of them all had two more free tickets to the ball, which was a reward for their labor.

In the end, Arthur failed to muster up the courage to invite Joanna to the ball, which made Lin Hong and Matthew angry.

Thankfully, before leaving, Matthew gave Arthur another chance to write an "exciting" and "very cool" game before the ball started, and they had an idea for it and would be the first to show Joanna when the time came.

Joanna is looking forward to it.

Matthew's words are certainly not true, they only have a general direction now, they don't have a clue at all, there is only one day left, if they can't write this game, they may turn back and create a bad impression on Joanna as "talking big and dishonest".

But at this point, Arthur didn't complain anymore, after all, Matthew was trying to create an opportunity for him to make further contact, and he didn't usually have the courage to go directly to Joanna alone, and only by using this kind of reason did he have a little courage.

"Guys, I have something to tell you."

On the way home, Lin Hong thought twice and decided to confess.

"Good news, or bad news?" Matthew asked casually.

"Uh...... I don't know if it's good news or bad news. Lin Hong was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "When I was in the cafeteria at noon today, I sent out an invitation to the dance party to my classmate......

Taking into account Si Qian's face, but also taking into account their face, Lin Hong said that he took the initiative to invite him. He is still thinking about problems with Chinese thinking at the moment, in fact, in the United States, it is very common for girls to take the initiative to invite boys to dance parties or other activities, just like boys invite girls, and will not give her minus points.

"Wow!" Arthur and Matthew were stunned at the same time and stopped moving on.

"How? Results, tell us the results. ”

Both of them looked at Lin Hong, eager to know the final result. Their mood at the moment is very conflicted, according to their usual experience, they hope that Lin Hong will also be rejected by the other party, so that their hearts will be a little more balanced; But as Lin Hong's friend, they hope that he can succeed.

She agreed.

"Oh, my God!"

"I can't believe it!"

Lin Hong was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't tell you in advance, I'm sorry." ”

“nonono!” Matthew shook his head and said, "Stone, you don't have to think like that. We're happy for you, you're the first person in our SAM group to successfully invite a dance partner, and that's something to celebrate, isn't it? ”。

"Matthew is right, we're all happy for you! I think Vina would be happy for you if she knew about it. Arthur also said heartily.

After walking for a while, Arthur suddenly said: "Since you already have a dance partner, then you have to consider preparing a suit, the color is best to match your dance partner, if you are not familiar with it, after you go back, you can ask Vina to help you choose a ......"

Arthur was very clear about these things, and he taught Lin Hong step by step what to do and what to pay attention to at the ball. Of course, Matthew also knows these things very well.

It's like a compulsory course for them, and every student will learn about it. It can be seen that Arthur does not disdain the ball, as he appears to be, but takes it very seriously.

Lin Hong didn't expect that he would have to prepare a suit and dress for this, and even something like a garland to wear on his hand, when he asked the price, he didn't feel distressed to death, and in total, it seemed that he couldn't get it without three or four hundred dollars.

Lin Hong regretted this, if he spent money at this rate, how long could the three thousand dollars on him last?

Back home, after Vina came back, Arthur told her about it, Vina was very happy when she learned about it, and she had to take him to the city to buy a dress for the ball, Lin Hong couldn't resist her enthusiasm, so she had to go obediently, anyway, she always had to prepare, she should have promised others, and she couldn't give up halfway.

In the end, under Vina's "thousands of choices", Lin Hong purchased the first suit of his body, according to the shopkeeper, this suit was simply tailor-made for him, and it was the only one in his store.

It is indeed the only set, because Lin Hong's figure is a little too thin compared to Westerners, he and Vina went to many stores, and they were told that there is no such size, and they can only be customized, but not to mention that the cost of customization itself is expensive, even if you agree to customize, you can't catch up in time, and it will take at least a week to get the clothes.

Lin Hong paid two hundred dollars very painfully, which was the result of Vena's powerful bargaining offensive, and if he didn't bargain, the price would be at least twice as expensive. Although Vina said she wanted to give it to him as a gift for his first prom, Lin Hong refused.

Originally, according to Vina's idea, she should find the girl named Ava to come over and choose clothes together, so that the colors of the two dresses could match, but at Lin Hong's insistence, she finally gave up this idea.

Shopping is such a tiring exercise!

Lin Hong only walked around for a while, and then he had a feeling of back pain, which couldn't help but make him feel a little shocked, you know, he is a master of dark energy now, this kind of small amount of exercise cannot happen (the latest chapter of the Demon Quest), in the end he can only attribute it to mental exhaustion, and has a delusion.

But when he got back to his room, he saw something that made him very happy - a brand new modem!

This thing is a necessary device for dial-up Internet access, Lin Hong was very surprised, how could it appear here.

After going downstairs to inquire, I learned that Vena specially bought it from the supermarket today, because Arthur had mentioned it to her this morning, so she brought one back from the supermarket by the way after work, and by the way, she also called the telecommunications company to install a telephone for Lin Hong and opened the Internet.

Lin Hong insisted on paying Vena for the modem and the network, but this time, she didn't agree, no matter what Lin Hong said, she shook her head directly, just said that it was a gift to Lin Hong, in order to thank him for being able to accompany Arthur to study and live together.

Lin Hong had no choice but to put this friendship in his heart for the time being, thinking about when he could do something to repay them.

After dinner, Lin Hong came to his room with excitement.

Computer, modem, phone account number and password...... Everything is already in place, and he can finally enter the long-awaited world of the Internet!

Although Lin Hong has long seen how Arthur surfs the Internet, and how Matthew posts and replies to posts, he has not operated it himself, so it can be said that he has not really experienced the feeling of "surfing" on the Internet.

"Surfing" is a very figurative word, the Internet is like an endless ocean, when you log on to the Internet, you are just one of the surfers, countless challenges and landscapes waiting for you to discover and create.

Lin Hong's operating system revolves around DOS, which comes with the latest Windows operating system, which he has long learned about in the library's latest computer magazine. In other words, although his machine is a certain number of years, the operating system in the computer is the latest in this architecture. Obviously, this must have been upgraded by Arthur.

Lin Hong already knew the steps of surfing the Internet, some of which he learned from Arthur, while others he learned from reading magazines and books in the library.

Lin Hong, who was excited, started the computer, then entered the Windows operating system interface, ran the dial-up software, filled in his account and password, and clicked "Connect......

The BBS he browsed first was "Tulip", which was the BBS that Matthew posted before.

The software he uses is a character interface browser under DOS, compared to Arthur's computer, he is still a little backward, there is no graphical browser aspect, only an interface that can display characters, white on a black background, and cannot display pictures.

The way to use is tel login, he has already written down the domain name of the tulip forum at that time, so after entering, the login information soon appeared, and a large number of characters kept being refreshed, and these information were welcome words that would appear in the BBS, and then there were some options for selecting the plates: 1, the latest news; 2. Hardware discussion; 3. Software communication; 4. User work sharing area......

There are a total of more than a dozen boards for users to choose from. Lin Hong typed in the number "2", and then entered, and entered the "Hardware Discussion" section, in which there are many small sections, such as 1, Apple computer, 2, IBM-PC compatible machine...... 5. Other hardware ......

Lin Hong chose "5" and entered the section where Matthew posted last time.

Next, a whole screen of titles appears, which are posts made by users, and they are also arranged in order one by one, and each topic is preceded by a number, as long as you type this number, you will enter the content page of this topic. Of course, all posts have more than one page, and you can go to the next page by pressing the page on your keyboard.

The whole browsing process is to keep doing multiple-choice questions, and after choosing, hit the enter key, and then the content in the monitor will change, which is very easy to use. Of course, if you want to publish a post, you can also follow the prompts on the monitor, press the shortcut key, and a text editor will appear, with a title and content filling area, after writing, press the publish shortcut key to publish the post, and after refreshing, you will see your post in the post list area.

This is Lin Hong's first time logging in to BBS, and all the operations feel very fresh, whenever he thinks that there are countless computer enthusiasts all over the United States, just like himself, staying in front of the computer, browsing the same page, the same text, he feels that this is really amazing! What's even more amazing is that he can publish a post, and then someone will see it very quickly, and the other person will reply to it, and then the next moment, he can immediately see what the other person has replied to......

This is a completely new experience, completely different from radio communication, in addition to text, you can also transfer and exchange files in pictures, and even audio.

Lin Hong quickly registered his first network ID, for this ID, he thought for a long time, and finally decided to be "hellc", the meaning is taken from "hellna", originally intended to use "helloc", but later felt that "o" and "c" are a bit similar, so he omitted "o", so at first glance, it looks similar to "hello". However, what he didn't expect was that later, when his ID was widely known in the industry, everyone directly pronounced it as "hell, c", which means "hell hacker c".
