8 Offer from the Professor

The first few pages were about the general terms and conditions that are usually mentioned before a contract. The main clauses of the file stating the transfer of ownership started after a whole of twenty pages. Xin wanted to read them thoroughly when Professor Han called him to return his smartphone.

Xin hid the file again and went near the Professor to take it back. Seeing the visible excited expression on the face of the Professor, Xin knowingly asked him the reason.

And as expected, the answer was somewhat related to the coming of a new era. Professor was overly enthusiastic about it. And was waiting for it to come as soon as possible.

While Professor was telling Xin about all the things he heard on the news and read on articles, some sounds came from the class. Both of them rushed inside and found everyone was pretty awake by then.

Xin checked his system for the time remaining and found it was showing a 00:00 then.

"So, the time has come, huh?" Xin questioned himself in a low voice. And went near the Professor to help him manage the students and clear out the visible confusion.

That day no more classes were held, as ordered by the national government and international government bodies, and instead, they were told about the upcoming new era and its advantages and disadvantages.

Not only Xin's school, but the government, teachers, and local managing bodies all over the world were doing the same, gathering people at one place and telling them what's happening and what's going to happen.

Though the information circulating throughout the world was the same, the reaction and the responses the higher-ups of the government departments were getting was different.

Panic among the people about the upcoming future was alike across the globe. But apart from that, some other peoples like businessmen, business tycoons, and some hidden families had different views about it.

As anticipated, giant corporations and multinational companies were searching for ways to make money out of this new upcoming era, and for them and their dictionary, something like fear and afraid had no business in it.

Meanwhile, many hidden families worldwide were aware of the magical waves and know what's going to happen soon. They were getting ready to come out of seclusion and dominate the world as quickly as possible.

The day passed, and the night came. Xin returned home as soon as they let the students go and went directly inside his room. Since no one was home and his mom and dad were on tour, he locked all the doors and hit the bed.

The first day of high school was a tiresome day for Xin. Not because it was the first day, but because of his transfer to another world. Then getting hit by that wave, and so on.

The moment he closed his eyes and went to sleep, countless memories began to unzip in his mind. Previously, when the unzipping process was going on, Xin stopped it at mid, at that time and handled the current issues at hand. But now that he was free, the process got initialized again, and Xin was filled with eighteen years of memories just in one night.

Next morning, Sunday.

Xin woke up pretty early in the morning and went to the terrace to do some stretching exercises. The Xin of the magicless earth was pretty much of a nerd guy. He and exercise were like arch enemies from eternity.

But for the Xin of the magical world, exercise was like his daily food for him. Never in his life had he missed a single day without exercise. And that particular character of Xin had been imprinted in the new Xin, having soul from both the worlds.

After doing vigorous exercise for one and a half hours straight, Xin returned from the terrace and made some toast and green tea for him. His parents hadn't returned yet. And he was pretty much alone in the home.

"Daisy, show me the status bar of the current mission."

"Affirmative, master."

First Mission: Collect 10000 Red Pine

Time Remain: 6/7 Days

Fruits Collected: 0

Xin saw the status bar of his mission and began to think of ways to complete the task. Finding and collecting Red Pine fruit wasn't a problem, but collecting as many as ten thousand of them was a problem.

While returning home from school, Xin kept a record of the number of magical red pine trees that had started growing around his home and school. And he found out a little over twenty of them were there in his locality.

He was hoping to get at least two hundred fruits out of these trees, as he was pondering about the places where he can find more of these trees, when "Beep!- Beep!-Beep!!" came a sound from his mobile.

Xin picked up his phone and found the number was unknown to him. "Who could be this person, calling me this early on a Sunday weekend?" Xin muttered and picked up the phone while nibbling the toast in his mouth.

"Hello, who is this?" Xin asked in a firm voice. If he wanted, he could have gained access to the telecom department's database and get the caller's information. Forget about information. He could have passed some firewalls and got his entire bio-data.

But doing such sinful work early in the morning, Xin didn't feel like it and simply picked up the call to find out the caller.

"Yes, Mr. Xin, it's me, Professor Han. Are you free right now?"

"Oh, Professor, from where did you get my number?"

"Ahahaha," laughed the Professor and told him he got it from the school directory.

After greeting each other morning and talking about some here and there mundane stuff, Professor Han came to the main point and posed the offer which was the main reason for the call.
