CHAPTER 242: CHAPTER 11: THE GOOD BROTHER WHO BORROWS MONEY_3

With a quick skim, he could find seven or eight typos in one article—this was just too many.

Mistakes are inevitable in online literature. Often, even the authors themselves can’t spot them and have to rely on readers for help, but as long as they’re corrected in time, it’s no big deal.

The problem is, a high typo rate does affect the reading experience.

[Hu Zai] said no more—he had a stack of new books waiting for review.

And Su Tiankuo didn’t reply.

Reply about what?

The original novel was like this from the start. Criticism only comes because he’s not famous yet. Once this book becomes a hit...

Forget it, he should borrow some money first, he’s hungry.

...

Meanwhile, deep in his brain, a group of nano-robots invisible to the naked eye was diligently executing commands—

[Execute Task One: Pirates should look like pirates]

[——Randomly replace typos]

[——Automatically generate harem literature characters and related plots, block 300,000 characters from early review]

[——Modify character names, after 300,000 characters, randomly switch original names "Chen Xu" and "Su Liao"]

[Execute Task Two: Virtual holographic form is only visible to oneself; others still see the original form.]

[Execution begins.]

...

Su Tiankuo brimmed with ambition, convinced he’d make a great success in the future, but when he looked through his contact list, he found his circle pathetically small.

Old classmates didn’t stay in touch, and the only good brother Zhu Yuwen even refused to lend money now.

To live a bit comfortably next, he’d need at least two or three thousand yuan.

With no other choice, he called back home.

"Mom, can you send me 3,000 yuan more?"

Su Tiankuo’s mom was just returning from the fields with a hoe. In the scorching weather, the grass grew too quickly, so she took advantage of the evening to do some work.

Sadly, the temperature was too high, and she soon soaked her clothes with sweat.

When she answered the call, she sighed angrily.

"Tiankuo, where’s the money at home to support you for life? I told you to come back and find a job, but you refuse. What’s so great about staying in Beijing? Eating poorly, not dressed warmly, living in a tiny cubbyhole... Come back. Your cousin says you can earn over 10,000 a month if you’re diligent at delivering couriers. What’s wrong with doing that?"

Su Tiankuo raised his voice too: "I graduated from college, and you want me to deliver couriers? Mom, don’t you feel embarrassed to tell that to others?"

His mom got angry too.

"What’s embarrassing about it? It’s truly embarrassing if people knew my son graduated a year ago, hasn’t earned a penny, and still asks for money from home!"

"Look online, so many rich people drive for Didi as chauffeurs or deliver food after work. Does it embarrass me to be a farmer? You’re a grown man. Earning money is what’s practical; otherwise, what happens when you get married? How can I find someone to introduce you to a girl with no job? We still have your younger brother who’s just in middle school. We can’t spend all our money on you."

Su Tiankuo hung up the phone, his expression twisted.

A little kid was already planning for him. Fine, once he becomes rich, they shouldn’t expect anything from him. They can just rely on his brother for retirement!

But, hanging up the phone was easy; the hunger was much harder to handle. Huabei only gave him a credit limit of 1,800 yuan, which he quickly used up, leaving him with just two yuan.

As for anything else...

A grown man, besides a college diploma, without a job, without a fixed residence, without social insurance records, not even a driver’s license, with unhealthy spending habits and bank transactions—

With all this, he couldn’t even get a credit card. What else could he hope for?

Su Tiankuo opened the food delivery app, and all he saw were fast-food delicacies. He accidentally clicked on an ad—

[Flower Bloom Loan]

Anywhere, anytime, borrow as you need, support you in your time of need before your grand success!

The tagline was just too spot on. Wasn’t this exactly what he lacked?

But... he couldn’t use such online loans.

Su Tiankuo silently warned himself.

But, he was still hungry... Just borrow a few thousand, once he’s successful, he could easily pay it back.

Even if the interest is high, he should be able to repay, right?

As for repaying in half a month... by then, he should have income from the platform itself. It would be easier to borrow from friends at that time.

He hesitated for a moment but eventually clicked in to submit the required materials one by one.

The limit was 8,000...

He was a bit surprised—then why not... borrow 4,000 first?

Borrowing 4,000, with an actual amount received of 3,100, repaying 5,200 in half a month...

Gritting his teeth, Su Tiankuo started the application.

...

Meanwhile, Chu River was satisfied as she looked at her phone—

Nowadays, with the internet crackdown, it really wasn’t easy to find an illegal 714 high-interest loan platform over here!
