Night

He didn't break any records. He entered on the rankings though.
Bai Xue returned to the dorms at around 10 in the night. He did ate more than 20 pounds though and with this amount, he should be fine for the next two three days and without much trouble on things.
His hunger debuff was something he wanted to avoid as much as he could as it was just a liability that lowered his wisdom and working capability. Thus eating on time and sleeping 8 hours a day is something he had ceremoniously adopted for the last few days except he could only fulfill the sleeping part and the rest went awry due to the blight of funds.
Now that things had settled. He could avoid the hunger debuff and act with a bit more freedom from both his body and mind.
Hence after brushing his teeth, he looked at You Weixi's message on his Telscreen and went to sleep. He has a company that needs to be opened tomorrow.

Morning
April 17 2001
9:45 am
Bai Xue, You Weixi and his Lawyer all gathered in the Library council again so that You Weixi can finally start the company.
His Lawyer was on his side and just to make sure that nothing weird or dubious were to happen during or after the inauguration and Bai Xue stood at the side and gleely looking at You Weixi's fill up the really simple and plain company creation applications.
This was something they would have already done yesterday but the extremely cheerful smile on Bai Xue face irked the Lawyer enough that he asked You Weixi to delay it for the day so he can make sure that there were no loopholes or traps in all this.
After a whole night of thinking and background searches that lead to the simple conclusion that Bai Xue was an business idiot did he allow You Weixi to go with the deal and here they were, opening the company that Bai Xue had so wanted to start.
It didn't take much time for You Weixi to be done with the application and with the Lawyer's assistance, the application that was saying 5 business days just got vetted and approved within 5 mins.
Internal relations were truly something to behold and nothing to look down upon.
With that though, the Lawyer asked Bai Xue about where he was going to take the loan from and gave suggestions of his own to which Bai Xue showed him the card that the Bald Man had given him.
"That will give you 5000 Credits. I can procure a higher amount, would you like to?" [Lawyer]
The Lawyer said and Bai Xue denied.
"This is more than enough. Thanks for your offer though." [Bai Xue]
Although in need of money, Bai Xue calmly rejected the offer. He wasn't that keen on having too much money on his hands at the moment because Xu Bai Xue had triple that amount a month ago, now look at his bank balance and there's not even 10 Credits.
The Lawyer said nothing and after scanning the card, he proceeded with the loan application from Eavāntí and be the recommendation of the card giver and the skills of the Lawyer, the loan was in the company's account instantly and after taking 150 Credits as his fees and 290 Credits as You Weixi's advance salary for the month, they both left.
Now he was probably ripped off a bit more or maybe that was the actual fees of the lawyer but Bai Xue couldn't become angry after looking at the amount at the company's balance, much less the company that was the first step of his success.
"Oh! The Lawyer had even opened the company account and all. There's even a simple website, merch store and lots of other integrations. There's even game development integrations and software. From Eavāntí at that!"
(Mr Lawyer did nothing. It was the doing of Eavāntí. Every business owner gets one. My Lawyer just chose Bai Xue's one as Game Developer related.)
Looking at the plethora of things that the Lawyer had "done" for the company and most of which were things that he was going to need, he retracted his previous statements regarding him.
He played and get used to all the new functions that he got access to and realised that it had everything that he needed but he would have to either but a utility Telscreen or upgrade his to a better one to be able to use most of the functions that the creation platform provided.
His current Telscreen could not handle the load. It wasn't meant to.
Or he could buy the specific development hardware instead of using a Telscreen. Those were the go to when creators wanted quality and productivity. It was pricy though.
"That's a fair investment. Not now though"
He took some deep breaths and opened a personal account in Eavāntí. They had a bank as well and he needed another account to keep money as Bai Xue, seperate from Xu Bai Xue.
After that he transferred his unfinished game to the Eavāntí's company provided platform and set an order for the utility Telscreen that fit his price range and needs.
And lastly, he called You Weixi to get the Lawyer's number. He was going to cut ties with Xu Bai Xue's family or otherwise, he would kill them if they were bother him later on.
You Weixi sent the dial address and email and Bai Xue immediately called and explained what he wanted.
{It can be done. How fast do you want this?}
"As soon as possible."
{Tomorrow then. Do you want to do it without any contact with them?}
"If I can, then yes."
{Consider it done then. Are you free in the Evening?}
"I am."
{Let's meet up and discuss things in detail.}
"If it helps."
