As Su May was driving and nearing the first resource box a private message came in.
She was unsure how to react as she has been keeping a low profile and noone should know that she was here.
She opened it anyway.
What greeted her was a callout.
"If this is Su May I want you to know that this is your tutor. I don't care if we are in another time. You still owe me for all the support I've given you. I'll be waiting for your reply."
Su May giggled to herself because this was the exact same message she received in her previous life.
This message was exactly at the right time at the right place.
She decided to reply, however, cause she wanted allies in this life.
"You have reached Su May. How much do I still owe you? If I'm not mistaken, before we were brought here I've only repaid you a quarter for all you've done for me."
The man replied almost instantly.
"That is right, but since we can't gauge price here just yet I was thinking in order to get the remaining three quarters owed I just need you to share one of your resources with me."
Su May hesitated and thought about it.
...
On the other side in a car that was driving a man was talking on the panel.
He was a little broad at the shoulders, bit he had a kind and gentle spirit.
He was muttering.
"Su May, I was your tutor?"
As it seemed Su May might not answer she sent him a message.
The man sighed in relief. He really hoped to settle Su May's debts.
...
Su May answered the man and as she parked 3 meters from the box, thought of her tutor.
He was kind and helped her with all her work. They just graduated from college and Su May just barely passed math because she wasn't that adept at it, but she was also juggling a part time job and she was trying to earn money to repay him.
Before she crossed over she had only managed to repay him a quarter of what she owed. She jad just got the remaining money when they crossed over.
When Su May finally answered she said, "I'm willing to give you half of my resources from my first box if you want that to settle my debts."
It was slow in coming, but when his answer came it was an agreement. Basically he said as long as it's half he can consider Su May's debt fulfilled.
Su May got out of the car and walked to the resource box.
She followed her opening routine she established late game as she knew that for now they were not dangerous, but as they entered the second world all resource blxes would contain a certain amount of danger, but the rewards were a little better.
Su May wanted to establish her routine early so that by the time they were in the second world she was used to it.
