Just started high school, and was assigned a self-discipline system.

Chapter 17: New Phone, Mission Complete

Thinking of this, he took out his phone, opened Teacher Sui Bian's cooking tutorial video, and started studying it. However, the video would freeze every now and then, making him frown.

No, this won't do. The phone he's using now is one that Ms. Huang handed over. It's been stuck in a terrible state ever since it came into his possession, and the upper right corner of the screen is now covered with spiderweb-like cracks. He's wanted to get a new phone for a long, long time, but his family's financial situation isn't great.

He wasn't the type to ask his parents for anything, so he never asked.

But now, he earns his own money, and if he gets a new phone, his video editing efficiency will improve. You know, these days, every time he's editing a video, there's a chance that it will suddenly freeze halfway through.

Under such circumstances, he dared not touch the screen at all, because he knew very well that if he didn't touch it, it might recover after the lag subsided, but if he touched it, it was more likely to freeze completely, causing all the previous editing to be lost, resulting in a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

I often have the urge to smash this crappy phone. Whether it's for my own experience or to improve my video editing efficiency and save more time, I should get a new phone.

Evening arrived quickly, and Ms. Huang and Mr. Lin returned home.

At the dinner table, Lin Ye thought for a moment and then said, "Mom and Dad, I want to get a new phone."

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Ms. Huang and Mr. Lin exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised, because this was the first time in all his years that Lin Ye had made a request of them.

Ms. Huang then said, "Okay, your phone is indeed too slow. What kind of phone would you like to get? But we're not very wealthy, so we can only offer you one under three thousand."

Old Lin thought for a moment and said, "If you really want the latest model, that's fine, but if you buy a new phone, you have to study hard in the new semester and not get too addicted to it."

Hearing his parents' words, Lin Ye was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected them to agree so readily, and even be willing to buy him the latest model.

"No, no, Mom and Dad, I've been earning my own money lately, so I want to buy it myself."

As Lin Ye spoke, he opened his WeChat and showed his parents his account balance.

After seeing the data of 5764 above, the two elders were stunned for a moment, and then Old Lin's tone suddenly became serious.

"Where did you get this money? You can't make this much money delivering food."

Lin Ye could clearly feel that the surrounding environment seemed to have cooled down. Ms. Huang was now looking at him with suspicion, and her eyes certainly didn't look like she was looking at a good person.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ye found it somewhat amusing.

"No, Mom and Dad, I've become popular online for making short videos recently. These are the earnings from those videos; you can see the data in my backend."

As Lin Ye spoke, he showed the two elders the evidence. They were stunned after seeing Lin Ye's backend data and videos. Although they knew that making short videos online was very profitable, they never expected that such a thing would happen to their son. Was this really true?

However, the facts are now laid bare before the two elders, and even if they are shocked, they can only accept them.

"This is really something you earned..."

"Yes, Mom and Dad, but after I start school, I'll reduce the frequency of video updates, so I probably won't earn as much."

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Old Lin nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, after all, you're still a student, so you should focus on your studies. Since it's your own money, you can buy whatever you want without reporting to us. If you don't have enough money, then you can talk to your family."

"it is good."

After dinner, Lin Ye went out to digest his food and visit a mobile phone store. He didn't plan to buy the best phone; he just wanted something practical.

After Lin Ye left, the two elders started chatting.

Ms. Huang asked with some concern, "Do you think Xiaoye really earned her money honestly?"

Old Lin frowned, then said, "Don't you know our son? I don't know about other things, but he would never do anything illegal. He's very honest, and didn't he just show us his source of income?"

"You're right, but is it really okay for Xiaoye to have so much money?"

"What's wrong with that? He earned it himself. If you take it away from him, it will dampen his enthusiasm. Now that he's grown up, we don't have to worry about him as much. He's already talking to us about things now, so he shouldn't hide anything from us."

Hearing what Lao Lin said, Ms. Huang nodded, feeling that it was indeed true. She then clicked into Lin Ye's account and quickly began to read with great interest.

However, as she looked at it, Ms. Huang began to feel sorry for it.

"Look at this child, how much suffering he's endured to lose weight."

"Then what should we do? It's better to lose weight. Being thinner makes you healthier and more energetic."

As the two elders talked, they soon saw the latest video, the one where Lin Ye clarified things. After seeing Lin Ye speak up for them online, they were both deeply moved. Ms. Huang even shed tears, while Mr. Lin nodded silently without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye had arrived at the commercial street and was starting to think about which phone he should buy.

He plans to buy a phone priced around 4000 yuan this time, requiring clear photos, smooth operation, and no lag even after long-term use.

Of course, the most important thing is the camera function. After all, he will need to use his phone to shoot videos for a long time to come, and if the image quality is not good, it will really affect the effect. Thinking of this, Lin Ye decided to ask Teacher Doudou.

Soon, Teacher Dou gave Lin Ye the results.

Teacher Doudou highly recommends the VVx300. Seeing this, Lin Ye did not hesitate and went straight into the VV store, since he didn't know much about these things.

Once inside, a sweet-looking young lady quickly came over.

"Hello, are you here to check your phone?"

"Hmm, I'd like to take a look at the X300."

"Okay, please come with me."

However, after the other party finished speaking, Lin Ye did not move, but remained in place.

Because a notification sound had just come to his mind.

[Congratulations, host! You are now fully capable of speaking normally with attractive members of the opposite sex without feeling inferior. You are rewarded with five points to your "Charm" attribute and the "Appropriate Demeanor" skill.]

Upon seeing this, Lin Ye's eyes lit up. He had finally gained the system's approval and completed the task.

As a result, Lin Ye's temperament level reached 51 points, exceeding the average.
