Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 113: Checking Out The New House & Moving In(II)

A green luxury sport car pulled up at the front of a building in Glenview Drive.

The next moment, the doors of the car opened up and three individuals, a middle-aged woman, a young man and a boy, stepped out of the car.

It's would be somewhat difficult to accept for those who are more familiar with the popular built and concepts of sport cars to accept that a sport car can accommodate four individuals.

Though it's hard to believe, it's the truth as the green sport car is the one of the four-seater sport car in the world, the Koenigsegg Gemera.

The three individual walked towards the building's entrance and the young man stepped forward, and opened the door, allowing them to walk into the house.

"It looks okay. Let me take a look around first to know if it's as functional as it looks," The middle-aged woman said, and left, to take a look around the house.

After the woman left, the young man looked at the boy standing beside him.

"Alex, want to take a look around," He asked, and Alex nodded.

Seeing Alex nod, Silas held Alex's hand and started taking him around the house to check it out.

Alex was already aware that they would be moving soon as he had already been told by Silas. This was why he wasn't surprised when they came to check out the house but he felt that the house was... too big.

When Silas was done taking Alex around the house, he saw that Kim was also done checking it out and was waiting for them in the living area.

"So, what do you think?" Silas asked Kim, wanting to know her opinion on the house.

Kim nodded in response to Silas' question. She took her time to check out the house and she's completely impressed by what she saw.

To her, the house is very functional just as it's looks beautiful. It has everything she would need and want from a house and this is the reason why she's approving of it.

"It's perfect. I think we should move in as soon as possible," Kim said, and gave a knowing look to Silas.

Silas saw the look on Kim's face and understood what it meant.

The main reason he bought the house is because he wants them to move out of the possible reach of Daniel, and since Kim finds the house ok, she want them to move in as soon as possible, which is the look he was giving him.

"Ok, then. I will call the moving company. You guys can stay here while I go back home and sort everything out," Silas said, and was about to leave when he was heard Kim's voice and saw her walking towards the door.

"Silas, I would like to go home too. There are some things I also have to sort out," Kim said.

"Ok," Silas said with a nod, and walked out of the house, followed by Kim and Alex.

The three of them got into the car before Silas started it and drove off, back to Oakland.

On their way back, using the connection between the Gear and phone, Silas sent a text message to the moving company that helped him to move the quantum computer back then.

Few minutes later after he sent the text message, he got a reply saying from them saying are on their way.

In front of their house in Oakland, Silas stood beside his car with Alex, as they watched a group of men carrying boxes of different sizes, out of the house and into the back of a white truck.

It took them some minutes to get home and qhen they did, they arranged their things and left them in a corner and waited for the movers, who arrived some few minutes later.

After the movers arrived, Silas and Alex went outside while the movers started packing the things into boxes with Kim checking to see if everything was done perfectly.

It took them an hour before they were finally done moving the packed boxes into the truck.

When Silas saw that they were done, he got into his car with Alex, while Kim got into hers, and they drove off towards their new home in San Jose with the movers' truck following behind.

It took them more almost an hour before they got to the new house in Silicon Valley.

Immediately after they got there, Kim went to open the door while the movers started bringing out the boxes from the truck and moved them into the house.

It took them more than thirty minutes before they were finally done with moving in all the boxes.

"Thanks for your services," Silas said to them, as they left the house. He has already made the payment for their services, something they are aware of.

After they left, Silas went up to his room and started taking out his stuffs from the boxes and arranging them.

It took him some minutes before he was done arranging them and he slumped on the bed.

As he lay on the bed, he stared at the ceiling with a strange expression on his face.

There's a kind of unfamiliar and weird feeling that one has when they move into a new house. Especially one that's a very long distance from the former place and a very unfamiliar neighborhood.

'Now that the moving is done. I can now make a trip to Venezuela,' Silas thought to himself.

"I will make the trip tomorrow then," Silas said to himself.

He suddenly felt like putting something in his mouth but he doesn't feel like getting into the kitchen, neither does he want to stress Kim as he knew that she would probably be tired from the moving activities.

Silas decides to order something for them to eat online, as he also didn't feel like going anywhere at the moment.

While he waited for his order to arrive, Silas thoughts drifted to his almost non-existent appetite and his body's current condition.

It's been a while since the island incident where he nearly died from impulsively adding stat points to his stats.

Yes, it was an action he felt was most reasonable at that moment but still impulsive all the same, as it nearly killed him due to limited capacity of his body.

The reason why Silas made the decision to increase his stats by so much was because he was told by the system that there's no limit to the amount of stat points he can add.

What he wasn't told was that there's a limit to the amount of stat points his body can accept.

Well, the reason is because he didn't ask. But who would had thought that something like that would happen.

Silas also knew that one of the reasons why he didn't die that day at the island, was because he had already taken the GES, or his body would probably be rotting away on the island at this point.

"I guess that is the reason why the system gave me the blueprint for the Evolution Capsule, but the materials needed to build it are things that I would need special channels to acquire, and building processes are very... complicated."

Silas was still deep in his thoughts when he heard a knock on his door, and it opened.

"Brother, the fried chicken you ordered has been delivered," Alex said, as poked his head into Silas' room.

"Thanks, let's go down and eat," Silas said, as he got out of the bed and made his way downstairs with Alex.

When he got downstairs, Silas saw that Kim was at the dining area and had already opened the packs of the fried chicken thighs he ordered, and served them on plates, waiting for him to arrive.

Silas walked towards to the table and took his seat, followed by Alex.

After they were seated, they started taking their pick of the fried boneless chicken thighs and started eating.

As they ate, Silas decided to tell them of his planned trip to Venezuela.

"I will be going to Venezuela tomorrow," Silas said, as he took a bite of the chicken.

He closed his eyes for a bit as he savoured the taste of the chick in his mouth. He doesn't know why he can't seem to get enough of fried chicken or get tired of eating it.

"How long will you be staying there?" Kim asked.

She didn't bother to answer the question as she knew that he will give the usual "for business" reason. This is the reason she decided to ask how long he plans to stay on his trip.

"I don't know, but it will take a while before I come back," Silas replied.

"Ok." Kim said with a nod, and continued eating the fried chicken thigh on her plate.

Silas looked at Alex, expecting him to ask a question but when he saw that he was more focused on eating the chicken thigh in his hand, Silas gave a smile.

They are their food quietly and when they were done, Kim cleaned the table, assisted by Alex, while Silas went to his room.

The rest of the day went by uneventfully and it was finally the next morning.

Silas woke up, freshened up and prepared himself before going downstairs for breakfast.

After he was done with breakfast, he got into the car and drove off to Oakland International Airport.
