【I'm warning you, if you dare to default on your debt, I won't let you off! I'm super serious! (｀へ′)】

The murderous aura of that debt collector was almost piercing through the screen, and Yvonne Harris couldn't help but move his phone half an inch away.

Why the rush? Is it not annoying to chase me every few hours? Do I look like the kind of person who would default on a debt?

It's just three thousand yuan.

Who do you think you're looking down on!

"Can you lend me another two thousand? I'll pay you back together before the end of the month."

Afraid she wouldn't lend it, Yvonne Harris hesitated while holding down the voice button, then added another sentence.

"It's urgent!"

Chapter 009: Lend Me a Bit More, I'll Pay It All Back Together

After hanging up, Megan Green felt like she was about to explode with anger. She slammed her brand-new phone onto her music theory textbook.

In modern society, you can't do anything without a phone—not even order takeout. Of course she couldn't just sit around and wait, so after dragging Yvonne Harris to the security office, she went straight home and bought a new one that very day.

As for the phone with the broken screen?

She had already thrown that thing away.

It was only worth about ten thousand yuan anyway. Sending it back to the factory for repairs would take two weeks—just thinking about the hassle was infuriating.

As for why she insisted on getting that three thousand yuan from Yvonne Harris, it was purely out of spite!

When that basketball flew over, it scared her silly.

Luckily, it didn't hit her face.

Only asking him to pay for the screen, she felt like she was practically a saint.

It really pissed her off!

Seeing her roommate's unpleasant expression, Sophie Scott hesitated for a moment and asked softly.

"Did he pay you back?"

"No!"

"Maybe just let it go," Sophie Scott hesitated, then suggested, "You said it yourself, he uses those phones you get for topping up your phone plan."

"No way!" Megan Green raised her eyebrows and said through gritted teeth, "Whether he has money or not... what does that have to do with me! Just because he doesn't have money, does that make him right?"

"Besides, if he doesn't have money... then he should get a job to pay it back! The country is so developed now, it's easy to make ten thousand yuan with a part-time job, right? He's a grown man with hands and feet—if he doesn't work, he can just eat dirt! Hmph, maybe it's good to teach him a lesson!"

Easy, huh...

How badly does this girl misunderstand society?

Three thousand yuan is already two months' living expenses for a lot of people.

Hearing this clueless remark, Sophie Scott couldn't help but facepalm.

"So how much does he owe you now?"

"...Five thousand."

"Huh?" Sophie Scott froze, her hands pausing as she tied her hair. "How did it become five thousand?"

Glancing at her roommate, Megan Green said guiltily, "He just borrowed another 2,000 from me, said it was urgent. I was afraid he really had some emergency, so..."

Hearing this, Sophie Scott was dumbfounded.

"What???"

"And you just gave it to him???"

Damn!

You actually believed that!?

……

Night had fallen.

Urged by the library attendant, Yvonne Harris reluctantly returned a few books and left the library, unwilling to part.

After some time exploring, he more or less understood what attributes and inspiration gems were all about.

To put it simply, studying was like grinding monsters in an RPG game; your attribute level determined your experience bonus, which meant more rewards from grinding.

And inspiration gems were like pay-to-win double experience cards, letting you get bonus rewards for a certain period—in other words, letting you improve your skill proficiency faster.

Similarly, the lower your skill proficiency, the less experience you need to level up, which was why learning felt so easy, as if he had already studied it before and understood it at a glance.

As for more advanced knowledge, he absorbed it a bit more slowly, needing some time to digest it.

"So, the programming attribute points in the attribute panel correspond to my ability to learn programming skills. But the proficiency of the programming skill itself can't be simply quantified..."

"Besides, inspiration gems can only buff one attribute in the panel at a time; they can't work on multiple fields simultaneously."

Looking at his right hand, Yvonne Harris slowly clenched it into a fist.

Although his dream wasn't to become a code monkey, that didn't stop the excitement in his heart.

After all, having more skills never hurts—learning more is always good.

Besides...

The system never said he could only master one skill!

If one day, his attributes were filled with countless skills, even if he was still just a mortal, he would be the undisputed god of this world!

……

When Yvonne Harris returned to the dorm, it was already 9 p.m.

Back in the room, Yvonne Harris returned the C language textbook to Samuel Wright.

"Thanks, bro."

"No problem, just keep it. I got another one," Samuel Wright said with a stiff smile. "So, top student, how was your preview?"

Yvonne Harris smiled awkwardly.

"I'm not really a top student."

"Hey, hey, hey, if you get any more modest, you'll be fake!"

Seeing that this guy didn't believe him, Yvonne Harris just shrugged and didn't bother explaining further. He took off his T-shirt, tossed it onto the chair, and got ready to take a cold shower before bed.
