Apocalypse Online: Regression of SSS-Class Summoner
Chapter 102: Enzo’s Contemplation
After discussing with Jayce and Auntie Sarah, they were nearly finished when a woman’s voice echoed in the house.
"An identified delivery rider stopped in front of the house, seeking your attention."
Max was stunned. He was familiar with the voice.
Artificial Intelligence!
It was now the age of artificial intelligence and having one meant efficiency.
Max was delighted to have an artificial intelligence at his new home.
He glanced at Jayce, who smiled at him.
"I forgot to mention about this one. I apologized."
Jayce sighed inwardly. He actually didn’t need to inform them about artificial intelligence in a villa because every villa, even at the third-world country could afford a smart home assistant.
However, he immediately realized that Max was definitely a "from rags to riches" type of wealthy individual, so it was normal for him to be stunned after the smart home assistant introduced her presence.
Max went to the door and had the delivery rider delivered the packages straight to him.
The delivery rider would always try to steal a glance at the exterior of the villa that left him awestruck while walking towards the main entrance.
He scrutinized Max, who seemed to be the owner of the villa and was astonished.
There were many questions he wanted to ask but he restrained, understanding the importance of privacy.
He delivered an exquisite big box, containing all the dishes that Jayce had ordered.
Max closed the door and unboxed them in the dining room.
They ate heartily first before Jayce and Auntie Sarah proceeded with the discussion of owning the house.
Max let Auntie Sarah became his representative without feeling embarrassed at all.
Just the idea of not neglecting her whenever she would need someone was his form of compensation.
While Jayce and Auntie Sarah discussed in the dining room, Max asked Jayce first to show them the garage.
Jayce apologized first and led them to the integrated garage.
It was positioned on the opposite wing of the house.
It was a clean built-in four-car garage with a flush frosted-glass door, white epoxy floors, and insulated drywall. It functioned as a standard, deep residential parking bay.
Max instantly took a liking on it.
However, Max recalled the Veloce’s smart panoramic glass embedded with micro-solar filaments and contemplated.
Suddenly, he realized Enzo would often bring it to the school, so he didn’t need to worry about not having sun exposure in the garage.
Jayce instructed Max how to operate on the garage’s door.
He said, "With the smart home assistant, you can just say Cassie, please open the door of the garage."
The garage’s door opened by itself.
Jayce said, "The smart home assistant will recognize your car. So, if your car approaches the garage, Cassie will open it.
You can rely a lot on Cassie."
Max nodded. Now that the garage’s door was open, he walked and went pass it.
He took out his car’s key and had the car activated when he arrived on the door.
He entered and drove the car to the garage’s door and went inside.
The garage’s door closed by itself since Cassie didn’t detect any other cars at the moment.
Now that the Vanguard Horizon 6 was inside, he had Jayce and Auntie Sarah continued their discussion as he rested in the master bedroom.
At the same time, he swept his gaze around the master bedroom and visualized how he’d utilize them.
After an hour, Auntie Sarah knocked on the door and informed him they’ve already settled the matters.
It was to be expected that a structural inspector would often visit and Max didn’t have problem with it.
Jayce left to inform the seller that a buyer was already decided.
Max had Auntie Sarah to stay in bedroom 3 before going to Enzo’s school to surprise him.
...
Enzo was currently attending the last subject lesson in the school for today.
He dazed at the teacher.
The teacher’s lesson couldn’t enter his distracted mind.
He wasn’t in his usual self.
Even when he advanced studied the lesson, he would still listen and asked the teacher for the part he wanted to be clarified.
Yet, he was absorbed in his own thoughts.
He recalled how his brother suddenly became a millionaire in the past month.
He dreamt to become like him, so he studied hard as he believed that was the only way to achieve it.
Yet, Max stopped schooling and became a millionaire at a young age.
He couldn’t understand how he made it.
Just playing games? How is that possible?
He was in disbelief.
He wasn’t yet aware that any form of entertainment, morally right or wrong, could earn a quick cash until turning those who were involved to become a wealthy individual—young or old.
For Enzo, becoming a professional was the only way to become a long-term rich person.
Enzo was lost in his own thoughts that when a teacher noticed it and called for his name, he didn’t respond.
Until his classmate lowered her arm to hide from their teacher’s vision and pinched Enzo’s thigh.
Enzo felt a painful sensation that startled him awake and almost screamed.
He glared at his classmate, but the latter immediately gestured to their teacher, making Enzo aware of the mistake.
Thankfully, the teacher was lenient on him. Enzo had been the most diligent student she has, so she didn’t want him to be embarrassed.
She asked, "What’s wrong?"
Suddenly, a gasp of astonishment came from the boys in the window seat.
She frowned at them and was immensely displease.
She shouted at their names, and the boys hurriedly composed themselves.
She growled. "What did you see outside that made you not listen to my discussion?"
The boys glanced at each other, until one of them spoke up.
"A Vanguard Horizon 6 model had just entered the campus, Teacher. I apologized.
It’s my dream car, so seeing it here made me lost myself for a moment."
Seeing that the student was sincerely apologizing, the teacher calmed down somewhat.
She was also curious of the super car that her student admired.
She walked towards the window and was instantly mesmerized by the super car...
