Chapter 176 Deep Virtual Reality 3
She appears to be in debt...
Stepping onto the maglev train, Xie Ning casually found an empty seat and tapped his wristband. A semi-transparent display screen appeared in front of him. After checking his bank deposits and transaction history, Xie Ning's vision went black.
She was outside when she suddenly remembered that she was a college student with a debt of 400,000 yuan. Mechanical engineering is an expensive major. College is expensive to begin with. The average student has to pay 60,000 to 70,000 federal dollars in tuition per academic year. Studying mechanical engineering is even more expensive, costing 100,000 yuan a year. After four years, she would be in debt of 400,000 yuan.
This is a federal loan. Although it doesn't accrue interest, it still needs to be repaid. No, if you haven't repaid 40% by two years after graduation, interest will start accruing.
Xie Ning did a rough calculation and the interest was about 10,000 yuan a year, which was not low!
Moreover, her recent surgery and hospitalization cost her 48,700 of the 50,000 yuan she had saved from tutoring during her school years, even with medical insurance. This means she now only has 1,300 federal dollars left.
Looking at her pitiful savings and the hospital bills, Xie Ning felt her heart was bleeding. That energy booster cost four hundred yuan. She felt she didn't need to get that injection at all. So what if she was hungry? Four hundred yuan could buy a lot of food!
Another person sat down next to her, and a cold, metallic arm came into Xie Ning's peripheral vision, but she had no interest in paying attention. All she could think about was how to make money. Although she shared an apartment, the rent was still a thousand federal dollars a month. If she didn't earn any money this month, she wouldn't even have a place to live, let alone food.
Xie Ning doesn't plan to take out the things in her spatial dimension unless absolutely necessary. She doesn't know enough about this world, and its technological advancements far exceed her understanding. If she accidentally exposes her spatial dimension, she might be captured and dissected. It's better to be careful.
The colorful neon lights outside the window flickered, their vibrant colors reflected in her eyes, but they couldn't illuminate the heart of a person in debt.
"We are about to arrive at Xijie Street in Jiangning District. Passengers who wish to disembark, please take your belongings with you and exit through the rear door."
The train's arrival announcement sounded, and Xie Ning snapped out of her daze. As she turned her head, she was met with a pair of deep, dark eyes.
"Zhan Lin?"
The woman resting her chin on her hand, looking at Xie Ning, had short, neat hair, healthy wheat-colored skin, deep-set features, and a striking appearance. She was Xie Ning's roommate.
"I went to the hospital to find you after I finished my mission, but I found that you had already left. Were you still feeling unwell? If you need money, I can lend you some. You need to get better in the hospital."
Although she didn't know Xie Ning very well, she figured that Xie Ning, who lived with her, probably wasn't very well-off financially.
She was one of the law enforcement officers during the riot at the mall that day, so she naturally discovered Xie Ning. However, she was unable to carry out a rescue operation at the time and could only notify the nearest rescue team.
Xie Ning shook her head gently, "I've fully recovered. I was just thinking about work."
In her memory, she had only known this roommate for less than three days, and this was only their second meeting. Thinking of this, Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had most of the original owner's memories, she was not the same person after all, and there were bound to be differences in various little habits.
If she runs into someone she knows, she'll have to find a way to get away from them.
Hearing Xie Ning say this, Zhan Lin felt relieved. As for work, she had nothing to worry about. This was an era of highly developed machinery, and Xie Ning's major was in high demand, so there was no possibility that she wouldn't be able to find a job.
But Zhan Lin didn't know that Xie Ning's core had been replaced. Although the current Xie Ning wasn't completely ignorant of mechanical knowledge, he was far less proficient than the original owner.
