Ren Suo powered up his computer. After waiting for over a minute, he finally saw a message from 360 Security: "This startup took 10 seconds. Your startup speed has beaten 99% of computers nationwide!" Then, he leisurely opened a Word document.
Another ten seconds or so passed, and the 2003 version of Word finally launched.
This should give you a pretty good idea of Ren Suo's computer's performance: describing it as a "faded beauty" wouldn't be far off. However, he only used it to watch videos and write essays, so it met his daily needs.
But ever since he started playing the Mini-World Game Console and experienced its responsive, high performance, he found his old machine less appealing by the day. Electronics hold little nostalgic value; after all, while their performance might not change much, their appearance steadily improves, often featuring more and brighter lights.
In Word, he wrote:
"Over My Dead Body: Chapter One"
"Infiltration: Chapter One"
"Slaughter Dungeon"
