Babel Novel
Chapter 76
“Nice to meet you, I’m Sean Woodsen!”
Carlisle and Sean shook hands with Winston.
Winston led them to sit. He gave them two bottles of Coke from the refrigerator and asked with a smile, You bought the computer to play games, right?”
Carlisle nodded. “Yes, so our configuration requirements are slightly higher!”
The Legendary Tale and The Mystical Journey didn’t require configuration. However, if they wanted to open the game multiple times, they needed to run auxiliary plug–ins. It required a specific computer configuration to support it.
Winston took out a pack of cigarettes and gave each of them one.
Carlisle declined while Sean took the cigarette and lit it.
Winston lightly took a puff of his cigarette before introducing them to the high–configuration computers in
his store.
Sean’s eyes twitched when he heard the starting price for those computers was around seven thousand dollars. “Gosh, even a second–hand computer is so expensive!”
Carlisle was quite calm. Technology had only recently developed. Phones and computers hadn’t yet emerged, so
they were expected to be pricey.
“Seven thousand dollars is indeed a bit expensive. I need six units. Can I buy them for 30 thousand
dollars?” Carlisle asked calmly while drinking Coke.
Winston’s eyes twitched. The way he looked at‘ Carlisle changed.
The young people who could afford 30 thousand dollars were most likely the second generation of wealthy people. He purchased six computers at once, which was also a big deal.
“Even if you’re Ivan’s acquaintance, this price cut is too much! Six computers with the identical setup cost 42 thousand dollars. If you want them, I can cut the price to 40 thousand!” Winston spoke unhurriedly.
“My bottom line is 32 thousand. I can only spend that much!”
Carlisle shrugged helplessly with a disappointed look as if he had no choice but to give up if he couldn’t get the computers at that price.
Winston almost had no idea how to respond. “These six computers cost 39 thousand dollars. Since you’re Ivan’s friend, you can just pay me 39 thousand and five hundred dollars!”
Carlisle still hesitated. He had lent Lily five thousand dollars and spent three thousand to rent a house. He also paid more than five thousand for his tuition and living expenses. There were only around 32 thousand dollars left in his bank account. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Sean whispered, Carl, do you have enough money? I can lend you ten thousandi

Carlisle sighed. “Okay, I’ll borrow the money from you first!”
He chose the high–configuration Dell computers to ensure the computers would run well.
Around 10:00 pm, Winston drove them to their rental house and worked extra hours to help them with the computer installation.
Carlisle and Sean soon returned to their dormitories.
Shortly after they left, Owen, Heath, and Benjamin sat blankly next to six brand–new high–end computers.
“Heath, are these computers the highest configuration of the internet cafe?” Owen asked while gulping.
“Yes, it’s estimated to cost eight thousand each!”
Heath was likewise shocked. He didn’t expect Carlisle to purchase such high–quality computers.
“Six computers cost 40 to 50 thousand dollars. If we sell them, we can use this money to do business!” Owen expressed a bold proposal.
“Owie is right. Heath, how about we…” Benjamin was swayed. He had never seen what tens of thousands of dollars looked like.
Heath lit a cigarette, puffed out smoke, and stated, “Your idea is good. But you have to think clearly. If we follow Carlisle, he might be able to make our dreams come true. However, if we sell these computers, we might never achieve them!”
