"Oh! I almost forget to tell you this. This house is now yours, and I also transferred hundred thousand yuan to your bank account. Consider them as my parting gifts. Goodbye" the hologram device turned off immediately after Uncle Li.
"Wait, What?" said Wang Wei
Even though Wang Wei came to know some shocking truths through Uncle Li's long message, he lost his mind when he heard what Old Li said at the end.
"Calm down! Calm down!" said Wang Wei within himself. As he expected, Uncle Li revealed the information regarding his father and also at the same time he expected that there might be some powerful figures controlling the situation.
He also thought about the possibility that his father Wang Zhou and Li Shenrou might be closely acquainted whenever he saw both of them talking and laughing. So Wang Wei is not too surprised to learn about all these, but the things Uncle Li said at the end is too much of a shock for him.
Because 100000 yuan is not a small amount. If it is before the formation of the Earth federation, that much money is sufficient for a family of four for a year. Even at present, the Wang brothers can live for 6 months in Jinhua city earning no money.
"How much do you think this house is worth Genesis?" asked Wang Wei
"This house has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The combined area is over 7225 sq ft. If we include the garden, it will be around 10000 sq ft. Considering the location and the community. According to the present real estate in Jinhua city and the inflation, this house is worth 1.6 million yuan. Congrats, You became a millionaire, Mr. Wei" answered Genesis.
Though Wang Wei changed the privacy setting, if he required any help Genesis can read the thoughts of the user. So when Wang Wei asked for the Genesis, she gained instant access to Wang Wei thought and immediately gave the appropriate answer.
Just then Wang Wei heard the loud sound of someone banging at the door. Remembering that he sent Wang Yong away, Wang Wei ran to the front door and opened it.
"I. . I brought the. . book you asked for" Wang Yong fell down on his knees panting heavily
"What happened is someone chasing you?" asked Wang Wei hurriedly looking at Wang Yong
"No"
Wang Wei felt relived and picked up Wang Yong and took him inside the home and gave him a bottle of water he has in mirror world. As Wang Yong is too exhausted from all the running, he didn't realize that his brother took out a bottle from thin air.
After drinking water and taking deep breaths, his panting decreased.
"Have you lost your mind? Why did you run so fast?" Wang Wei admonished instinctively,
"Because you told me to bring it quickly" said Wang Yong agitated.
"You looked so ecstatic while telling me to bring your memo book. So I guessed that there might be a clue, so brought it as quick as I can. Now open that damn lock" he said angrily.
Wang Wei is a little embarrassed by what he did. He sent Wang Yong away so that he can use the system, but apparently his brother took his words seriously.
"Well. I'm sorry that I your efforts went into vain. I have already cracked the code" said Wang Wei.
At the same time he sent the hologram device into the mirror world and asked Genesis to edit the first part of Uncle Li's video message where he bragged about how he created the clues for the opening the padlock.
"Really? How?" asked Wang Yong excitedly, forgetting about the pain he went through to bring his brother's useless memo book.
Wang Wei immediately started telling Wang Yong a story that he just fabricated. According to that story started with Wang Wei finding the clue on the door of the study room and gathered the clues step by step until he found the combination.
"You are an absolute genius, bro" Wang Yong praised his brother genuinely not knowing what really happened. Wang Wei did this so that he doesn't have to reveal about the system.
"So what is inside the room? Is there anything related to our father's disappearance?" asked Wang Yong.
Wang Wei went into the study room and took out the hologram device from mirror world
"Is it done?" he asked Genesis through his consciousness
"I'm done long back. It took me less than a minute to edit this video" said Genesis, but Wang Wei can feel the smugness within her reply. He came out the room, played the hologram video and threw the device at Wang Yong.
Wang Yong is shocked to see a hologram device, but he immediately shifted his focus to what Uncle Li is saying.
In 15 minutes Wang Yong faced turned from shocking to surprise and from surprise to angry and again to shocked.
"Is this how I looked too when I watched this video" thought Wang Wei looking at the ever changing expressions of Wang Yong.
"Do you believe what is said in this video?" asked Wang Yong, still looking at the hologram device even though it is turned off.
"Yes" said Wang Wei. Because there is no reason for Uncle Li to tell lies to them. Even if Old Li is involved in this cover up, there is no logic behind him giving away money and a million yuan house.
"Wow. A house like this, with these many rooms and a garden. It should be more than a 10000 sq ft. At present real estate value, this house will be more than a million yuan" said Wang Yong very much close to what Genesis said.
"When did you learned about real estate market?" asked Wang Wei, surprised
"Here and there. Anyway, we are a millionaires from now. Come on, let's go and have some party" said Wang Yong with a bit of awkwardness.
"Hold the horses, bro. We just have a million and half and with what Old Li said, we have to be even more careful with what we are doing" said Wang Wei seriously.
Because before Wang Wei thought that his opponents might be a just local tyrants but from what Uncle Li said he is up against a giant. But still he is confident in himself and the system.
"Let's go back to our house for now. It's been such a long and tiring day" said Wang Wei even with getting a small boost in his physique by absorbing energion.
The Wang brothers locked the door and went back to their apartment after having lunch at one of the local restaurants.
Wang Wei took a bath, changed his clothes and laid back on the bed as always. He opened the system status panel and checked it.
Name : Wang Raymond Wei, Wang Wei

Status : Level 2 (213 / 2500)
Assistants : 1 ( 1 / 1 )
Items Borrowed : (1 / 6)
System points : 156.3
"Oh, I can burrow one more item from now and it looks like the system increased the experience by 5 times" he thought looking at the status panel
He slowly got up from the bed and searched the apartment for submitting items. In the end, his eyes fell on the hologram device. Actually, Wang Wei is contemplating whether to submit the device. But soon he made up his mind.
"Appraise" he said
"System Appraising"
"Appraisal Failed. Item is not owned by the user" said the system.
"Well, looks like the system considers that this hologram device is still owned by Old Li" thought Wang Wei without getting disappointed as he already expected this outcome.
Wang Wei went through the system interface to see if there are any changes after level up. There aren't any other significant changes. But Wang Wei saw that the option named "Tasks" is lit up. So he clicked on it and saw a new task:
[ Task : Find a clue about Wang Zhou (Repeated) ]
[ Time limit : 96 hours ]
[ Completion : Depending on the value of the clue ]
[ Reward : 300 system points and a lucky draw ]
