Ryan Carter, who was keeping watch, hurriedly said when she saw this, “Brian Carter, is it counterfeit money? I saw on the news last time that even bank ATMs can dispense fake bills, and the banks won’t admit it…”
The little girl was getting anxious, her mouth chattering nonstop, and by the end she was a bit angry: “We have to exchange it, let’s go find someone from the bank!”
At this moment, Brian Carter didn’t really care about what she was saying.
He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then continued operating the machine to withdraw a second sum.
Very soon, the second batch of 2,000 yuan was dispensed from the cash slot.
Brian Carter quickly took the money in his hand. Next, just like the first time, Brian Carter held the cash and paused for quite a while without moving.
Standing to the side, Ryan Carter was now a bit baffled and asked curiously, “Brian Carter, are you out of it?”
“So is it counterfeit or not?”
“Say something!”
“Hey, Brian Carter, what are you doing!”
“Brian Carter…”
“Are you obsessed with money?”
The little girl’s mouth just wouldn’t stop. Brian Carter, standing next to her, glanced at her, then suddenly handed her the cash and said, “You hold it.”
Ryan Carter’s chubby little face was full of confusion, but she still took the cash and looked at Brian Carter.
Brian Carter: “How does it feel?”
Ryan Carter: “…Can we not apply for martial arts school and just buy something tasty instead?”
Brian Carter suddenly burst out laughing, speaking quickly: “So, you don’t feel anything?”
At this point, Ryan Carter felt like exploding, her big round eyes glaring at him in annoyance: “You’re bullying me again!”
“No, really, not this time.”
Brian Carter couldn’t hide the smile on his face, then said, “I was just teasing you earlier. Alright, I’ll keep withdrawing money, and when I’m done, we’ll go home!”
After that, Ryan Carter just watched her big brother, foolishly starting to withdraw money.
The reason she thought he was acting foolish was because Brian Carter’s way of withdrawing money was just too flashy.
Sometimes he’d take out 100 yuan, sometimes 200 yuan—never the same amount twice.
For 10,000 yuan, Brian Carter withdrew more than ten times in total.
And that’s not all. After he’d withdrawn the full 10,000 yuan, there was still a balance in the card, so Brian Carter kept withdrawing more.
Just when Ryan Carter thought he was going to pocket some for himself, she saw something even more dazzling!
Brian Carter withdrew money, then deposited it back in, withdrew it again, then deposited it again—repeating the process over and over, completely leaving Ryan Carter dumbfounded.
Not just Ryan Carter—actually, there were other people waiting in line behind them.
Brian Carter had been hogging the ATM for almost half an hour, and seeing that he was still going, someone behind finally couldn’t take it anymore and snapped, “Hey kid, that’s enough! Whether you’re withdrawing a million or depositing a million, you’ve had more than enough time!”
Ryan Carter was still young, not thick-skinned enough, and feeling a bit guilty, her face instantly turned bright red as she tugged hard on Brian Carter’s arm.
But Brian Carter had almost finished his experiment. Unhurriedly, he deposited the extra cash, pulled out his card, and walked out.
Once they were out of the ATM area, Brian Carter suddenly beamed with joy, laughing “hehehe” to himself as if no one else was around.
Standing beside him, Ryan Carter felt her hair stand on end. Was Brian Carter having a breakdown?
“Brian Carter?”
“Hehehe…”
“You… you’re scaring me?”
“Hehehehehe…”
“Waaah, Brian Carter, what’s wrong with you?”
“Hehehe… cough, cough, it’s nothing, let’s go home!”
Seeing that Ryan Carter was about to be scared to tears, Brian Carter coughed dryly, forcefully suppressed his urge to laugh out loud, and pulled the little girl along toward home.
Chapter 6: Poverty Has Limited My Imagination
Jinghu Garden.
Building 6, Room 101.
As soon as Brian Carter got home, he locked himself in his own little room.
Outside, Ryan Carter knocked on the door “bang bang” several times, but Brian Carter refused to let her in, making Ryan Carter so angry she wanted to break down the door.
At this moment, Brian Carter had no mind to care whether Ryan Carter was angry or not.
The moment he withdrew the money, if he hadn’t been confused about a few things, Brian Carter would have found a place to start researching right away.
…
Inside the small room.
The 10,000 yuan he’d withdrawn was now placed on Brian Carter’s left side, while on his right was a 10-yuan bill—this was all the wealth Brian Carter had.
At this moment, Brian Carter’s expression had returned to normal, but there was still a hint of confusion on his face.
At the moment he withdrew money from the ATM, when Brian Carter took the 2,000 yuan in his hand, his vision suddenly blurred, almost like floaters, and something abruptly appeared in his field of view.
That was why Brian Carter had been stunned at the time.
Unlike the blurriness of floaters, what suddenly appeared in his vision were a few lines of clear, small text.
Brian Carter still remembered that what appeared at the time were three lines of small text:
Wealth: 2000
Vitality: 1
Spirit: 1
Just a few simple lines, with a few easy-to-understand words. The first thing Brian Carter thought of was a system.
He wasn’t unfamiliar with these things—he’d seen enough even if he hadn’t experienced them himself.
But Brian Carter realized that what appeared before his eyes was way too basic!
Just a few lines, no explanation, no instructions. These days, don’t systems even come with a manual?
Or is this thing just a shoddy product off the assembly line?
