Chapter 018 A Slip of the Pen Added an Extra Zero
Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars are sparse.
After goofing around with his roommates Robert, Tom, and Jesse, Charles was ready to take a shower and go to bed!
In the bathroom, Charles discovered that he suddenly had an eight-pack abs. His seemingly skinny frame. Once undressed, he was incredibly muscular.
'The system's enhancement points are really effective. This physique would take an ordinary person at least three to five years in the gym to achieve,' Charles mused to himself.
The 20 enhancement points had almost doubled his physical fitness and strength.
And this was just from turning the tables on Lisa.
If he turned the tables on a few more pretty girls, Charles was sure he would be a Superman.
"But the Special Funds reward this time is still too little, only eight hundred dollars. I should have spent more on Lisa!" Charles shook his head regretfully.
Not long ago, he had just checked his private account.
Indeed, there was an extra eight hundred dollars.
For Charles, this eight hundred dollars was his own money and he could spend it however he wanted.
For an ordinary college junior, it was a great amount of money!
No matter how much Special Funds he had, he couldn't spend it on himself.
Having money in his private account made Charles more confident.
After washing up, Charles noticed a few unread messages on Facebook.
He opened them one by one.
Jessica: [Good night, my Top Patron!]
Lisa: [Charles, I know what I did might have completely broken your heart, but you didn't block me, which means you still care about me. I know it's too late to say anything now, but I deeply regret that it's only now that I understand who truly cared for me. Charles, I do love you. Please don't leave me. Give me another chance, and I will make up for what I did to you!]
Pamela: [Charles, can you lend me some money?]
Charles read the three messages carefully.
He replied "Good night!" to Jessica's message.
He didn't reply to Lisa at all.
As for Pamela's message, normally, the person Charles should ignore the most would be Pamela, because she always asked for money.
Last time, Charles spent tens of thousands of money on her, and she still wasn't satisfied. Now she was asking for money again?
To be honest, Pamela's behavior was a bit shameless.
And her reputation wasn't stellar either.
Not only did she mess around with rich men, but she also seemed to accept money from any guy at school who offered.
If Lisa was a typical two-faced person, then Pamela was a gold-digger and a womanizer. Not only was she materialistic, but she was also very unscrupulous.
However, for the current Charles, Pamela was exactly the kind of person he liked the most.
He didn't mind her being materialistic nor her asking for money.
He was only afraid she wouldn't ask for enough!
Charles had One Quadrillion Dollars in Special Funds, and how much had he spent so far?
At this rate, it would take a million years to spend it all.
He had to increase the spending quota.
Charles promptly replied, [How much do you need?]
On the other side, in a shared apartment in the Dream Lake Waterfront community.
Seeing Charles's reply, a glimmer of hope appeared in Pamela's desperate eyes.
She had been hiding from loan sharks for the past few days and didn't even dare to go to school.
Pamela: [Charles, my dad lost money in business and owes money to loan sharks. Can you help me?] Pamela wasn't lying to Charles.
Her dad, Richard Gray, originally ran an Internet café business.
He had seventeen chain stores in Syeattel.
The family assets were worth millions of dollars.
The Internet café business was booming, and the investment would have paid off in a year or two.
But a sudden pandemic hit, causing all Internet cafés in the city and even the country to suffer an unprecedented blow!
All Internet cafés were forced to close.
And this lasted for six months.
As a result, Pamela's family went bankrupt!
Her close female friends, with whom she used to have a good time, are now keeping their distance from her.
Before asking Charles for money, Pamela had borrowed from almost all her friends, especially those rich men who had pursued her.
However, Pamela need a large amount of money, and those so-called rich kids quickly distanced themselves from her!
Some even insulted her, calling her a prostitute.
Of course, name-calling is wrong.
But from another perspective, asking to borrow such a large amount of money, especially with high-interest rates, she can't expect people to be foolishly generous.
No promises or guarantees.
No written agreement.
Just relying on your body? Your looks?
Don't be naive!
This society is very realistic.
If a thousand dollars could get a woman's body, why spend tens of thousands?
Pamela was a bit apprehensive.
Charles had money, but he it didn't mean that he was willing to lend her that much.
Plus, the incident with Michael last time made Charles somewhat dislike her.
She was uncertain.
Pamela: [Charles, I want to borrow eighty thousand dollars. Don't worry, I can sign a contract and promise to pay you back!]
Charles: [Send me your bank account number!]
He didn't say anything else.
Pamela: [Okay!]
Pamela: [My bank account number is 6225...]
Soon, Pamela received a bank transfer notification.
"Your account ending in 6987 has received a transfer of eight hundred thousand dollars!"
Pamela looked at the bank notification.
She was stunned.
Pamela: [Charles, I asked for eighty thousand dollars, why did you transfer eight hundred thousand?]
Charles: [Oh! I accidentally added an extra zero!]
Seeing this message, Pamela cried.
'Charles, you do care about me. How would you know that my family owes a total of eight hundred thousand dollars in loan shark debt!
'You must have found out already. Thank you, Charles. I really don't know how to thank you. I will definitely repay you!' Pamela thought.
All the grievances Pamela had suffered in the past two days burst out at this moment!
The enormous pressure she had been under vanished instantly.
Her family owed a total of seven hundred and ninety thousand dollars in loan shark debt.
As a student, even if she sold her body, she couldn't gather that much money in a short time.
She was just hoping to borrow as much as she could.
She had asked all her friends, those guys who once said they loved her, wanted to protect her, and were willing to do anything for her, but in the end, they didn't lend even a dollar.
Especially those rich men, the richer they were, the stingier they were!
But Charles, he didn't ask anything.
He didn't even mention signing a loan agreement.
He just transferred eight hundred thousand dollars to her.
This amount was enough to pay off all her family's loan shark debt at once!
Pamela was moved.
Her inner hard shell was broken, and she completely succumbed!
At this moment, Charles's somewhat thin figure suddenly seemed incredibly muscular in Pamela's mind.
She felt that this man had an unprecedented sense of security!
He was so mesmerizing.
As for the few guys on Pamela's Facebook who had lent her their monthly allowance, she seemed to selectively ignore them.
