Chapter 98 Guess The Content
It was night ti.
Lucielle had cancelled the date plans with Alex stating she got busy with so work.
Alex didn't mind it and instead started cultivating.
He chased the Jinx Linc out of his room and told her to play sudoku if she didn't have anything to do.
lissa kept an eye on her to ensure she didn't beco happy and caused a teor to co crashing down on this house.
Alex drank potions to avoid sleeping and cultivated hard.
Today, he was focusing on the molecular aspects of his index finger, dwelling deep into the grooves and recesses of it.
It was as if Alex's imagination was sucked into a lab and he was looking in a microscope.
Things zood in on his finger, he saw the little contours grow bigger, then zooming further in, saw so dirt on his hand.
Zooming in further, he saw the particles of the dirt, then with an even further imagination saw bacteria and so on and so forth until he was finally at a level where he could see jumbled threads.
These jumbled threads were his Genes.
Picking up a single strand, Alex focused into it and the strand started uncoiling itself, as if wanting to have Alex look at it.
It was going good… things were progressing quite well…
However, as the strand fully uncoiled himself, Alex felt a sharp pain in his head and his vision broke, pulling him out of his ditative state.
Alex groaned with disappointnt and shaking his head, decided to focus on sothing else.
This thing had happened many tis before. It was a sign that he hadn't finished doing the other things yet.
By other things, it ant looking at his own body properly.
Previously Alex had seen his own muscular anatomy, the nerve connections, his veins, bones, and so on.
But, there were still a lot of things to see and dive into, such as his organs.
Alex knew that he probably had to gloss over each cell of his body and only then he might be permitted to see the uncoiled gene strands.
This process would be too long and Alex didn't know how many years it would take. He was not a Xianxia protagonist to do such things, he was rely a normal human.
There had to be sothing that could help him better.
If he could think of cultivating Genes, there should be other like-minded people as well.
Surely he couldn't be alone, could he?
They say, each person in this world has at least seven other people with the sa look. And whatever he might've thought, wouldn't there be others with the sa thoughts and vision?
The probability of such a thing happening was low, but not zero.
There were seven billion in this world, it wasn't a small number whatsoever.
If one grain of rice weighing 0.02 grams was used as reference, then the weight of one billion grams of rice would be a whopping 20,000 kilograms.
People have never seen such a big number in front of them so it was difficult to imagine, but yeah, seven billion people, and then there's the vast universe too.
So or the other madlad might've definitely walked on this path. Even if it was a little, it would be of great help.
Alex unknowingly gave himself a new quest with this thought…
'Sigh… gotta work harder…'
Alex continued on with what he could do for now and cultivated.
lissa had walked inside after arranging a room for Linc and slept without bothering Alex, who cultivated till next morning.
Alex hit the gym in his ho and after the workout, went on to get his breakfast.
As he reached the dining table, there was big package on it.
"You have a package, honey." Janet said while sipping on so coffee.
Alex took a look at it and opening it, chuckled.
He looked at his mother and asked, "if you guess what's inside this package, I'll buy the two houses beside ours for you."
Janet almost spilled the coffee on herself hearing that. Wiping her face, she looked at Alex with astonishnt.
"What? What are you saying?"
"You heard it, mom. Guess what's inside and I'll buy the houses," said Alex with a chuckle.
Janet stared at him with a dumbfounded gaze. She didn't know what to say to this anymore.
Janet went through a myriad of emotions and finally, sighing and shaking her head, said, "I don't know, honey."
No matter what, even if her son was a millionaire now, she couldn't let him spend money needlessly like this.
"C'mon, mom. You have three tries." Alex said with a smile.
He had plans to expand this house to let his parents live even more comfortably and thus he said this.
This area he was in was just right. The city center wasn't too far and neither were the outskirts.
Things were peaceful in this neighbourhood and Alex liked it.
Even though he would shift to other places soday, that was the future.
For the sake of the future, one shouldn't sacrifice their present. This was what Alex's motto was.
Janet couldn't help but sigh again at her son's gestures. "Is it—"
"Wait, let give you a hint." Alex said. "The hint is that this box contains sothing you guys have been long waiting for."
Janet was confused and thought, 'what were we waiting for?'
"Another hint, it's related to ." Alex smiled.
"I don't know, honey. I can't think of anything." Janet shook her head.
"That's why it's a guess, mom." Alex answered. "You can guess anything and co to an answer through hit and trial."
"What's going on, everybody?" Josh, drying his wet hair, ca to the dining table and asked with a smile.
Alex explained the situation and Josh said, "haha, you should answer, Janet. Our boy is insisting so much."
Alex skipped over the fact that there was a big reward for the guess if it was right.
Janet obviously noticed it and said, "if I guess it correctly, Alex says he'll buy the two houses at our sides."
"What!?" Josh was surprised.
"Indeed. It'll be really a waste to do that."
"No, I an, why?" Josh had a different set of thinking. He turned to Alex and continued, "If you have so much money, why waste it on the houses of this neighborhood? You could save so more and get a good apartnt Downtown."
Alex shook his head. "Downtown seems cramped with offices and luxury residences. It doesn't have the happy vibes like here."
Josh, shaking his head, said, "it's a bad financial decision, my dear. Also a waste. Let's just say… if you do get the two houses, what are we gonna do with such a big space? You and l hardly stay with us nowadays."
"Dad, there's more people going to co over and stay with us. We definitely need a bigger house." Alex argued.
"Who's coming? If you're referring to giving us grandchildren then—"
"Hold your horses, dad." Alex interrupted his parents' wild imagination.
Janet chuckled at this but didn't say anything.
Alex looked at his parents and with an apologetic smile, said, "there will be more people, I can't tell you who for now. Like how Linc's a new addition, there's gonna be more people added to the family. We need a bigger house for that."
"…I sotis don't understand my own child." Janet said and sighed. What was Alex up to now? She couldn't guess anything.
"Just ignore the useless things and continue with our little ga. So… what do you think is in this box? Here's the hints…"
Alex told his parents.
lissa walked out of the kitchen this ti holding a tray full of breakfast.
Linc was behind her, holding another tray.
The two ca to the dining table and looking at the big box there, lissa said, "honey, put the box aside."
Alex took the big box in his hand and let lissa put the food down.
"Alright, make the guesses. You both have three tries."
"What guesses?" lissa asked as she sat down and turned to Alex.
"Oh, it's nothing. We're just playing a small ga."
"Sounds fun," lissa smiled. "I wanna play too."
Alex shook his head. "You can help mom and dad but can't officially play this."
lissa pouted. "Why?"
Alex chuckled. "It's got sothing to do with this house. I'll tell you later. Anyway, mom, dad, quick, the food is getting cold."
Josh and Janet could only put their hands out in defeat and play along. Their son was too stubborn sotis.
"Umm… is it…" Janet thought about it. "A lottery prize?"
"Eh?" Alex was confused. "You guys were longing for to win a lottery prize?"
"Ah… no…" Janet laughed nervously.
"Is that your…" Josh thought of sothing, but didn't say it. "Can I have a look at the box?"
"Sure." Alex allowed it.
Getting a look at it, Josh shook it and found sothing really light present in it.
Josh then saw the sticker on it and it had the address of their ho and the sender's address was…
"…from New York?"
Janet's eyes widened at her husband's comnt.
"Is that…"
