Chapter:-44 Two Iphones

She'd been selling cell phones for a few years now and had seen all kinds of people.

Although Keith was dressed in ordinary clothes, he had a certain bearing. She couldn't

quite put her finger on what it was, but she knew what it meant.

This guy could afford the latest iPhone. The salesperson smiled sweetly and said, One

moment, please, sir, let me ring that up for you. Keith smiled and nodded, but at that

moment, a cold snort came from beside him.

Keith, since when can trailer trash like you afford an iPhone Pro Max? Let me guess, you

saved up by not eating for a few months? Have you been eating ramen all year just so

you could buy an iPhone? Oh my God, Keith, you're so funny. Keith didn't want to talk to

the catty money-grubber cackling away beside him. He smiled at the salesperson

instead and said, Oh, right, I need one for myself, too.

Make it two in total. Two? The salesperson widened her eyes and said, Sir, let me just

check I heard you right. You want me to bring up two iPhone Pro Max? It wasn't just the

cashier who was surprised.

The whispers from the surrounding crowd took on a renewed fervor. He doesn't look rich.

Two iPhones, that's over three thousand dollars.

I think he's bragging. Keith turned a deaf ear to the whispers and smiled at the

salesperson. That's right.

I'm sorry. Did I stutter? Oh, the cashier knew she'd said the wrong thing and hurriedly

apologized. I'm so sorry, sir.

Two iPhones. I'll bring you up immediately. Harper was furious.

She could tell that Keith was purposefully ignoring her. How could she bear to be looked

down on by someone she'd always looked down on until now? But she didn't want to

make a scene in front of so many people. Suppressing her rage, she sneered and said,

No, let's see if he can pay for it.

Who wants to bet his card gets declined? Will was nervous. He knew Keith's family

background well. Keith's family had even less money than his own.

But he knew that Keith was trying to help him out, that he didn't want Will to lose face in

front of all these people. That's why Keith had pretended that he owed Will money. Such

a loyal friend was rare.

Will was touched and worried at the same time. He looked at Keith anxiously. The cashier asked sweetly, Sir, how will you be paying today? Keith blinked for a quiet

moment before he reacted.

He smiled and waved his old phone. Google Pay. Okay, the cashier said, and tapped a

series of keys on the register.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone around him, Keith calmly tapped his phone and

paid, before asking about the various functions of his new iPhone. Seeing this, the

spectators began to murmur to each other once again. Their previous expressions of

contempt had vanished.

Maybe money could buy respect after all. Will took the phone from Keith and gave it to

his girlfriend with an excited expression. For a moment, Will was lost for words, and he

just looked at Keith.

He didn't know how to express his gratitude to his old high school friend. On the other

side of the pair, Harper had a shocked expression. She'd studied Keith's profile, trying to

understand how this broke guy, who'd been dumped by Christina, could afford not one,

but two brand new iPhones.

Could it be that she'd misjudged him? Could it be that his family had money stashed

away somewhere after all? In Harper's eyes, there was only money. She took a deep

breath, calmed herself down, and gave what she thought was her cutest smile. Then she

said in a syrupy voice, "'Keith, I misunderstood you earlier.

There's a high school reunion next month. Do you want to go together?' Keith acted as if

he didn't hear her. He didn't react at all.

But the crowd noticed the obvious change in her behavior and immediately started

discussing it. Will snorted, "'Harper, didn't you say earlier that we weren't fit to even be

at the reunion? How come you're suddenly inviting us now?' "'Don't tell me. You want

Keith to buy you an iPhone, too?' But with her true motivations exposed in front of so

many people, she was at a loss for words.

Her expression turned ugly, and she snapped her mouth shut. At the same time, the

system's voice sounded in Keith's mind. "'You've fulfilled Will's wish to buy the iPhone

Pro Max.

Wish value, plus one. You've fulfilled Will's girlfriend's wish to receive the iPhone Pro

Max. Wish value, plus one.

You've satisfied the wishes of the onlookers. Wish value, plus one. You've shattered

Harper's wish to mock Will.

Attribute point, plus one. You've shattered Harper's wish to see you make a fool of yourself. Attribute point, plus one.

You've shattered Harper's boyfriend's desire. Attribute point, plus one. You've shattered

Harper's wish to get closer to you.

Attribute point, plus one. Total pre-distribution attribute points, four. Total current wish

value, seven of ten." Adding up the series of notifications, Keith realized he'd obtained

four attribute points and three new wish values.

He only needed three more wish values before he could make another wish. The

residents of Summerfield enjoyed a good show. Keith knew that no matter where he

went, there would always be people around to help him add to his wish value and

attribute points.

Keith was wild with joy in his heart, but he kept a carefree expression on his face. He

said to Will, it's been too long, dude. Let's go for a walk.

Will was both grateful and impressed by Keith. He grabbed his girlfriend's hand and

followed Keith out of the store. From the beginning to the end of the encounter, Keith

hadn't even looked at Harper once.

It was as if she was as invisible as the air, completely ignored. Harper was so angry that

her face turned beet red. She looked at Keith walking away calmly, then turned to her

stocky boyfriend with a face full of anger and regret.

Tears welled up in her eyes. Keith didn't spare a thought for her. He made an excuse to

send Will's girlfriend away and said to Will, how have you been recently? Will smiled

ruthlessly at the question.

You know how it is, bro. I've barely got any education. My family's got nothing.

What can I do? Will looked Keith in the eye. Thank you for today. Don't worry.

I'll make sure to pay you back. Keith smiled and shook his head. There's no hurry to get

the money.

We can talk about it another time. Keith changed the topic. So what are your plans for

the future? Will said with a bitter face.

Honestly, dude, I have no idea. Suddenly, Will's expression lightened, and he asked, hey,

you seem to be doing well. How have you managed it? Maybe I can help you out.

I'll do whatever you need, man. Seriously, anything. Keith looked at the man beside him.

He had helped Will today, first, because they'd been like brothers in high school, and

second, because he'd already formed an idea in his mind.
