Chapter 358: Is it really necessary to play so big?
After bringing back the good things he bought, Chen Fan carried a few boxes upstairs to the attic of the apartment.
Looking at the boxes piled up on the floor, Chen Fan smiled with satisfaction.
With this, even if the school was sealed off, he wouldn't be bored.
In mid-November, the first case was reported in the south.
However, neither the media nor the general public paid any attention to this insignificant incident.
Chen Fan noticed it online and confirmed that everything was coming according to the predetermined time in his previous life.
For such things, Chen Fan was equally helpless.
After all, he was just a student. Faced with such a major event, he was equally powerless.
Even if Chen Fan issued an early warning, not only would no one believe him, but they might even catch him and treat him like a madman.
So Chen Fan didn't care about anything else, only wanting to protect the people around him.
First, he made a few phone calls to his family, reminding his parents to pay attention to personal protection. Chen Fan told his mother about the news reports online, saying that a flu had appeared, and this time it was very serious.
Chen Fan advised her on the phone to remind her parents to wash their hands frequently and open windows for ventilation.
On the other end of the phone, Li Jinqiu told Chen Fan that they had already chosen a house and paid the down payment.
"Your dad is looking for a construction crew to prepare for renovation."
"This time, your dad really spared no expense."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan quickly advised: "Mom, you must tell Dad that even for renovation, he needs to find a renovation company and not do it himself. It's best if you two don't go out and come into contact with strangers, for fear of being infected..."
"Oh dear, enough, enough, just protect yourself at school. We two old folks still know about protection..."
Li Jinqiu rambled on for a few more sentences on the other end of the phone, saying that they had originally hoped to finish the renovation and move in by the end of the year, but now it seemed unlikely.
Chen Fan could only explain again about formaldehyde, pollution hazards, etc., and say that even if the renovation was completed, it would need to be aired out...
The phone call lasted more than forty minutes before it ended.
Over the next few days, Chen Fan also started to consciously promote pandemic prevention methods among Su Ruochu and his roommates, making Ma Xiaoshuai and the others bewildered.
"Old Chen, what's going on? Have you become so particular recently?"
"Wear a mask? Why do we need to wear masks?"
"Don't tell me you've been watching too many medical staff costume series recently and got obsessed?"
Alright, Chen Fan gave up.
It was really impossible to communicate with this group of guys.
However, Su Ruochu did listen to Chen Fan's ramblings.
"I know, I know, wash hands frequently, shower frequently, ventilate more..."
Su Ruochu smiled and looked at Chen Fan, "You still have the nerve to lecture me. Let me ask you, how often do you shower? How often do you wash your smelly socks?"
Chen Fan smiled awkwardly: "Dear wife, can we have a pleasant conversation?"
Su Ruochu teased with a smile: "It's meaningless for you to remind me to pay attention to protection. After all, I mostly just see classmates and you. If I catch a cold, I'll inevitably pass it on to you..."
Chen Fan thought about it, and it did seem to be the case. Moreover, after the school was sealed off, he would have to protect Su Ruochu one hundred percent.
So he stopped promoting these things.
A few days before the winter vacation exams, Liang Shichu called to say that the final testing of the Security Guard was complete.
He asked Chen Fan for a specific date to launch and go online.
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said February, after the New Year.
Liang Shichu was a little surprised, "What about the game?"
"The game can go through one more final internal test and then be released directly."
Liang Shichu was a bit surprised: "Not launching both together?"
She remembered that Chen Fan had previously said that the two products would be launched together.
Chen Fan smiled, "I thought about it seriously again and felt that launching them together would be a bit of a waste."
"The Security Guard is going to be our main product going forward, so it must make a big splash."
"And the prerequisite for making a big splash is naturally to have enough attention. I plan to let the game go online first to generate some hype, and then leverage that hype to launch the Security Guard."
"Will that work?"
Liang Shichu really had no confidence in this game.
Chen Fan smiled reassuringly, "Just do as I say. Even if it doesn't work out, there's no major loss. At most, the game will fail."
Liang Shichu thought about it and nodded.
"Okay. We'll do as you say."
Over the next few days, Chen Fan didn't go anywhere, staying at school to accompany Su Ruochu in reviewing together.
This winter vacation exam was a bit simpler than before, as if the teachers intended to let the students have a good New Year.
At least for someone like Chen Fan who hadn't really attended classes, he was able to get full scores on all the papers through a few days of intense last-minute reviewing.
As for whether his answers were correct or not, that wasn't for him to consider.
However, Chen Fan estimated that the teachers already knew his situation and would probably give him a friendly 60 points to let him pass.
Shortly before the winter vacation, the much-anticipated school anniversary gala that had many students curious and excited finally had some news.
The school issued a special notice that this year's anniversary celebration would be held in April after the start of the next semester.
At that time, with warm spring weather and blossoming flowers, Yunhai University would grandly hold its 70th anniversary gala.
All students with talents were welcome to actively sign up to participate.
A registration phone number and email address were listed below.
In the dorm room, Chen Fan and the other two looked at the school's notice with some uncertainty.
"Should we sign up?"
Luo Wenjie turned to look at the other two.
During the summer vacation, due to a breakup, he had come up with this idea while drunk.
But the second half of the year had passed, and he had long forgotten about it. Who would have thought the school would actually issue a notice?
Chen Fan was also a bit surprised.
In his impression, Yunhai University did indeed hold its 70th anniversary gala, when Su Ruochu was a junior.
Because he was not a Yunhai University student himself, he had sneaked onto campus at the time to accompany Su Ruochu in watching the gala.
"What year was Yunhai University founded?"
Chen Fan asked, but the few guys in front of him looked at each other blankly.
Chen Fan directly squeezed Luo Wenjie aside and sat at Ma Xiaoshuai's computer to search online.
"Founded in 1933..."
Chen Fan was a bit dazed.
It really was next year... But in his previous life, Su Ruochu was clearly a junior...
Suddenly, Chen Fan realized something and felt like giving himself a slap.
Damn. He was really stupid.
Now he and Su Ruochu were juniors. After the new year and until summer vacation, wouldn't they still be juniors?
He foolishly only remembered "junior" but forgot whether it was the first or second semester.
But no one cared about that anymore.
Because Luo Wenjie was a bit reluctant to sign up.
Chen Fan also had a bunch of things on his plate and was equally unwilling to sign up.
Only Ma Xiaoshuai was full of enthusiasm for this matter.
"Damn it. You two can't be serious. For the sake of signing up, I've been practicing with a guitar in the dorm for half a year this semester."
"If you two dare not go with me, do you believe I'll take off your pants in the middle of the night..."
Chen Fan: "I don't sleep in the dorm."
Luo Wenjie: "I don't either."
Ma Xiaoshuai gritted his teeth: "Alright, alright, you want to play it like that. Do you believe I'll post on the school forum that I'm gay and was abandoned by you two..."
Chen Fan: "..."
Luo Wenjie: "..."
"Calm down, calm down..."
Chen Fan looked exasperated. "Is it really necessary to play so big?"
Killing a thousand enemies while injuring eight hundred of your own, indeed.
