Oh! Miles was surprised when he heard what Adam said. He was already shell shocked when his mother said rlin wouldnt be able to co this year because the Evelyn he knew would bring rlin no matter what. But now that he learned where rlin was, everything made sense.
Yes, his team made a breakthrough, Evelyn said. She wanted to continue but looked at the room, then to rcer.
No stranger here. Adam is a high-level military officer and can access any of this information as long as he wants it. rcer said then looked at Miles, his gaze stood on Miles but didnt say anything in the end.
rlin said they found a technological device in one of the planets. It is certainly not human technology. Evelyn explained.
Aliens? Miles couldnt help but ask. In the endless universe, the possibility of other races being born was certain. But humans had searched for years without any clue. Miles always thought the alien race was so far away from Earth, thus they didnt know anything about each other. But now a device made by an alien race has been found, it wouldnt take long to communicate with each other.
But where is rlin? How far is the planet from Earth? And how far is the alien planet from there?
Hmm, I rember now. She told the first expedition team found sothing on the device. She wanted to analyze the living tissues left on the device. Adam gave away the super confidential information as if it was nothing. At first, Miles didnt understand who she was, but later he realized who she was, Mother AI.
Living samples? Deliberately left? Evelyn asked with a frown.
At first, we too thought it was deliberate, but later the expedition team simulated it and realized it was an accident that happened by a miracle. They cant even tell how the sample is preserved in space. Adam shook his head. He hadn't seen the sample yet, so he couldnt say anything.
Miles listened at the side and didnt comnt. He didnt know anything about the subject, thus couldnt give any useful information even if he wanted. rcer also didnt speak, and only looked at them while they spoke. As one of the three generals of the Unity, he knew all the things they were saying, thus he wasnt surprised. Marcela on the other hand didnt care what they were talking about, she was chatting through her AI wristwatch.
Miles noticed it was a Psychic Wristwatch, and she was just looking at the screen and text was appearing on its own. Of course, it wasnt that simple. Marcela was speaking with her AI telepathically, while AI was writing the texts.
Miles shook his head, and focused on what the grown ups were talking about. After talking a little longer, they decided to end it there.
After the talking was done, presents were given starting with everyone presenting their gifts to rcer. When it was Miless turn, rcer looked at him coldly but hugged him anyway. Mostly because Evelyn was staring at them.
When rcer opened the box and found out it was a jar of honey, a cold glint passed through his eyes. Is this brat mocking ? He thought, then an idea ca to his mind. He opened the jar and dipped his finger, and tasted the honey.
Lone Cave honey? He looked at Miles incredulously.
Oh, not bad. rcer praised Miles. Miles was surprised that he was right. Old people really do like this honey.
Then it was Adams turn, and Miles gifted the plant sample he found. Adam took the sample and removed it from the glass cover. Miles found it in the secret lab where he found the double elental armor. At the ti he thought it was just a tree bark, and ignored it. When he was thinking about what to get for Adam, he rembered the little piece of bark and decided to give it to his uncle.
Adam took out the tree bark and his pupils were contracted to the size of a dot, they almost could not be seen. He looked at the sample and his eyes turned normal. Miles, this is priceless! Adam exclaid in surprise.
Oh, is it sothing valuable? Evelyn asked with curiosity.
It is from at least a dozen millennia ago. The sample preserved by the sentient race. It might as well have belonged to the race that lived in Portal World before the monster destroyed them. Adam then added, I need to do more experints to be sure.
Miles was glad that Adam liked it. Since it was sothing Adam took fancy of, he wouldnt mind its value.
Miles gave the golden boxing gloves to Malcolm and he loved them. Since it was an ornant, its tier was hardly related, and Malcolm didnt mind either.
The plainest gift was his mothers but she didnt care at all. She probably had sothing similar or could find sothing much more valuable, but Miles had nothing else he could give. He wanted to share information about orbs with two elents but he couldnt without giving himself away.
When it was Marcelas turn, she looked at Miles expectantly. Even though not as good as hers, the gifts Miles bought for others were more than good. Now it was her turn, she got excited.
Miles gave her the dagger orb, and she charged it with her Psychic AI wristwatch. The orb lted and ford a dagger in her hand. From tip to down it was white. There were blue ice-like stones at the handle. It was pretty, but its tier was too low.
This thrash? Marcela asked as she eyed Miles. You got a middle-tier dagger?
Yep! Miles nodded listlessly. He was too lazy to argue with Marcela. Since he couldnt afford it, he wasnt going out of his way to buy sothing valuable, risking bankrupt. Marcela was never nice to him, so Miles didnt care at all what she thought about him. Just to make his mother happy, Miles bought her a gift as well, but that was it.
Hmmph! Marcela snorted and uncharged the dagger. She threw the orb at the side of the couch and sulked where she was standing. Now that Miles had given his gifts, it was ti to receive them.
rcer gave the first gift. He didnt like this grandson very much, but he had to buy sothing. When Miles opened the box he found a card. There are two Millions UD in the card. Spend well. rcer said with a face that seed like trying to hide his sha. He didnt know Miles would bring him sothing so valuable, thus he also didnt think much about what to buy. Now that they were exchanging gifts, he couldnt find a new one. With no other choice, he gave the card anyway.
Thanks, grandpa.
Adam gave him a chip. In this chip, there is an arrow technique you may find useful, Adam said and winked. Miles thanked and hugged him.
Malcolm gifted him a core. It was an electric elent of Frenzy-Rank, so when Miles decided to change his AI wristwatch, he could build it with this core. Even its color was the sa as Coins. It was priceless. Thank you, dad! Miles hugged Malcolm.
Evelyn gave him an empty serum. Miles looked at it stupidly and wondered what it was. Um, this is? Miles asked.
It is an empty vial of Mind Serum. Since you have used/stolen Strengthening Serum and lived, you can also use this one. But without testing, I am not allowing you to use it. So when you feel ready, co to my office and I will pay for it. Evelyn said with her brows furrowed.
Thanks, mom! Miles laughed sheepishly. He stole the serum from his mother after all.
Miles looked at Marcela and waited. What? After you bought that trash, you want to give you sothing? Marcela shouted and left the room. Such a troublemaker. Miles shook his head and ignored her. When the night ended, Adam was about to leave. Miles decided to go with his uncle so Adam could drop him at his ho.
