On the old laptop screen, on the interface of an obscure online game, the name Nickolast appeared, a name not unfamiliar to Kalix. It was the username used by Nick, his best friend from a previous life.Nick enjoyed playing games that were not popular, whether because they were too monotonous or because they had many bugs. His reason was to learn about the game and find where the problems were, so he could avoid making the same mistakes in his own game.Kalix shared this sentiment but had a difference: he played games with relatively low storage and features that were compatible with his old laptop. That's why, even though he now had a lot of money, Nick hadn't replaced his laptop.After more than two weeks of searching, Kalix finally found the opportunity to interact with Nick through this small game."That's Nickolast!" Luke's excited voice echoed beside him.Kalix turned to look at him but didn't show any expression, making Luke feel a bit embarrassed."Sorry, I got too excited whe
In front of the class, Kalix stood calmly, without any hint of pressure. What benefited him was the system in his mind that helped him find the appropriate material or answers to the questions posed to him.Kalix explained the methodology in software development. "The Agile approach is the best in software development."Professor Anderson furrowed his brow in disagreement. He was a supporter of the Waterfall model and had a different view from Kalix. He said, "Agile is a strong approach, but it may not be suitable for every situation. Why are you so confident about Agile?"There was a moment of silence as Kalix didn't immediately respond, he gazed into Professor Anderson's eyes. Then he explained, "Agile allows flexibility and quick responses to changes. In the industry, changing requirements often occur, and Agile can handle that well."Before Professor Anderson could speak again, Kalix preempted him, saying, "However, in large projects with
"Did you decline Senior Carl's invitation?" Luke walked up to him as soon as he saw Kalix coming out of the classroom.As one of the students majoring in software engineering, Luke naturally knew Carl and Bernard's reputation as two smart seniors. However, what the two of them were most famous for was their unrelenting rivalry, which was said to have been going back and forth since kindergarten.Kalix did not look at Luke when he casually replied, "Not really."It couldn't be said to be a refusal, though not an agreement. He didn't want to explain too much to Luke.Luke realized that too, so he didn't ask more questions. "Where are you going? Are you going to the cafeteria?""Yes," Kalix answered again briefly.Luckily Luke was used to Kalix's short answers and his indifferent attitude. As long as Kalix didn't shoo him away, he followed along beside him. By the way, Kalix didn't count on the food either.Looking at the long queue, Kalix felt very lazy. It was too much of a wast
Ignoring Lorenz's words, Kalix turned to look at Luke and said, "Go to the table first."Luke stared at Lorenz, who looked fierce with a muscular body, then turned his face to Kalix, who appeared skinny and weak. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow Kalix's words. Despite Lorenz looking physically superior, Kalix's aura seemed more trustworthy."Who told you to leave?!" Lorenz raised his voice when speaking to Luke, who boldly took a detour. "Hey, I said stop!""This is between you and me now, don't scare others," Kalix cut off Lorenz's anger and drew the attention of the people who had previously watched Luke leave with angry glares. "Or are you actually afraid to face me?""Who do you say is afraid, huh?!"As Lorenz's angry shout was heard, the students sitting at their respective desks looked slightly surprised and quietly bowed their heads, pretending not to know what was happening. Besides, Lorenz's reputation had spread throughout the campus. He was the most brutal
Eugene glanced at her phone screen and considered ignoring it, she knew Jaxson’s purpose for contacting her at this hour. Likely to invite her home together, dragging her mother’s name into it.“Isn’t that important? If it is, we can reschedule dinner for another time,” Kalix remarked beside Eugene. He acted as though unaware of who was calling Eugene and for what purpose.At that moment, Eugene gazed at Kalix with a complex expression, then offered an apologetic smile. “I’ll take the call.”Kalix nodded subtly, allowing Eugene to step aside to answer Jaxson’s call. From Kalix’s perspective, someone had been tailing them from the start. No need for guessing, it was undoubtedly Jaxson’s hired hand.Quietly, Kalix chuckled at Jaxson’s old-fashioned methods. Yes, Kalix’s essence could indeed be said to originate from the future.Not long after Eugene left, the person, Rocky, approached Kalix with a mocking smile.“Yo, we meet again!” Rocky exclaimed.Kalix merely glanced at him without r
Kalix didn’t care what they thought, he said again, “So, can you open the membership using my mother’s identity? My mother has money.”“Your mother?” the waitress asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.“Yes, is that not possible?”“Of course it is,” the waitress smiled, “As long as your mother indeed has money.”Upon hearing the mockery aimed at his mother, Kalix completely lost his composure. He gazed at the waitress coldly, and even Eugene beside him could feel Kalix’s emotional shift.Eugene reached out to grab Kalix’s arm, intending to take him away, but Kalix didn’t seem embarrassed at all. Suddenly, Eugene had a vague guess in her heart.As for Rocky, who was quite far away, he couldn’t hear what they were talking about. As per Jaxson’s request, he was live streaming using one of his girlfriend’s accounts. Having personal conflicts with Kalix, Rocky would undoubtedly do his best to truly expose Kalix’s poverty.After a moment of silence, Kalix said to the waitress, “I want t
Mochi Breeze is one of the influencers on a live streaming app with hundreds of thousands of loyal followers. That evening, their followers suddenly received an unusual notification for a live stream. Curious, many of them clicked to watch it.Besides, Mochi Breeze attends the best university in Urdanica, located in the capital, Chroma. Usually, Mochi Breeze would wander around the campus and introduce various places to the live stream audience.This time, his followers thought it was just a regular live stream. Unexpectedly, they witnessed an embarrassing incident.On the live stream audience's screen, Kalix's face was most visible, while Eugene only showed his back, often not visible at all.Many people commented on the content of the live stream.[Is that a University of Chroma student? Why embarrass the whole campus by standing there?][Hey, hey, someone, please tell them to just leave, don't disgrace the reputation of University of Chroma!!!][That must be a scholarship student,
Eugene returned with a guilty expression and addressed Kalix, "Someone is coming, may he... may he join us?""Of course," replied Kalix curtly, appearing rather indifferent. "Is it a friend of yours or a family member?""Well, it's... one might call him a friend. His mother is a friend of my mother's, as we were at the same university, so my mother entrusted me to him," Eugene explained her connection to Jaxson."Does that mean he's from our university? Is it in the same year?" "No, no. He's two years older than us. Yes, he's our senior. You've met him before." Eugene seemed somewhat disinterested in the topic.However, deliberately, Kalix inquired further. "I don't recall meeting... oh, is it the guy who picked you up at the pet cafe?""Yes, that's him."Right after Eugene mentioned this, Jaxson emerged. With his appearance and demeanor, Jaxson inevitably drew the attention of a few people. His attire, a baby blue blazer and dark blue satin pants, coupled with an expensive watch ado
