Chapter 98 Guess The Content
It was night time.
Lucielle had cancelled the date plans with Alex stating she got busy with some 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.
Melissa kept an eye on her to ensure she didn\'t become happy and caused a meteor to come 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 zoomed in on his finger, he saw the little contours grow bigger, then zooming further in, saw some 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 meditative state.
Alex groaned with disappointment and shaking his head, decided to focus on something else.
This thing had happened many times before. It was a sign that he hadn\'t finished doing the other things yet.
By other things, it meant 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 merely a normal human.
There had to be something 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 same look. And whatever he might\'ve thought, wouldn\'t there be others with the same 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.
Some 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.
Melissa 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 home 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 some 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 astonishment.
"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 someday, 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 me give you a hint." Alex said. "The hint is that this box contains something you guys have been long waiting for."
Janet was confused and thought, \'what were we waiting for?\'
"Another hint, it\'s related to me." 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 come to an answer through hit and trial."
"What\'s going on, everybody?" Josh, drying his wet hair, came 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 mean, 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 some more and get a good apartment 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 Mel hardly stay with us nowadays."
"Dad, there\'s more people going to come 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 sometimes 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 game. So… what do you think is in this box? Here\'s the hints…"
Alex told his parents.
Melissa walked out of the kitchen this time holding a tray full of breakfast.
Linc was behind her, holding another tray.
The two came to the dining table and looking at the big box there, Melissa said, "honey, put the box aside."
Alex took the big box in his hand and let Melissa put the food down.
"Alright, make the guesses. You both have three tries."
"What guesses?" Melissa asked as she sat down and turned to Alex.
"Oh, it\'s nothing. We\'re just playing a small game."
"Sounds fun," Melissa smiled. "I wanna play too."
Alex shook his head. "You can help mom and dad but can\'t officially play this."
Melissa pouted. "Why?"
Alex chuckled. "It\'s got something 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 sometimes.
"Umm… is it…" Janet thought about it. "A lottery prize?"
"Eh?" Alex was confused. "You guys were longing for me to win a lottery prize?"
"Ah… no…" Janet laughed nervously.
"Is that your…" Josh thought of something, 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 something really light present in it.
Josh then saw the sticker on it and it had the address of their home and the sender\'s address was…
"…from New York?"
Janet\'s eyes widened at her husband\'s comment.
"Is that…"
