Chapter 92 Getting Things Ready
[67 Lottery tickets drawn.]
[You received nothing.]x78
Silas\'s eyes flew wide open when he saw the results.
"Nothing?!"
He was genuinely surprised. The reason he decided to draw 67 lottery tickets was to test the waters, and it seemed like Lady Luck wasn\'t with him today.
"Things would have been different if it was before, but now that I have more than 156 million lottery tickets, I can draw as many times as I want, and it\'s not possible for all lottery tickets to not give satisfying rewards," Silas thoughtfully said.
He decided not to allow himself to be discouraged by the loss of the first draw.
"System, draw 90,000 lottery tickets."
[90,000 Lottery tickets drawn.]
[You received nothing.]x10,000
[You received 1000 System Points.]x500
[You received nothing.]x15,000
[You received 69,000 System Points.]x15,000
[You received 100,000 System Points.]x25,000
[You received nothing.]x24,500
Silas didn\'t know how to react when he saw the rewards.
He didn\'t know if he should feel happy at the number of system points he got as rewards or feel angry at how many lottery tickets gave him nothing.
"I guess I will just have to make do with the rewards, but I really wish I could get either an [items free pass] or [knowledge]. The Serum would be good enough as it would help me a lot when I want to start building the Evolution Capsule," Silas thought to himself.
"Should I stop or give it one more try?" Silas thought to himself, trying to decide between drawing more lottery tickets and not drawing them.
After a moment of thought, he decided to give it one more try and draw one more time.
"Lady Luck, please shine your glory on me," Silas muttered to himself before drawing the lottery tickets.
"System, draw 10,000 lottery tickets."
[10,000 lottery tickets drawn.]

[You received an item free pass: Gene Enhancement Serum.]
"Yes!!!" Silas screamed internally in happiness and excitement when he saw the final reward.
Silas cared less about the system points rewards he got. What he actually wanted was an [items free pass] or [knowledge], and he was very happy that Lady Luck really smiled upon him by giving him an [item free pass] for the exact item he wanted: [Gene Enhancement Serum].
"Nice. Now, all that\'s needed is the materials needed for creating the capsule."
The actual reason Silas wanted the GES so badly was because it was a necessary ingredient in the creation of the Evolution Capsule. Without it, it would just be a sophisticated-looking junk.
"I think it\'s time to start putting my plans into action. I already have more than enough system points and things I can release into the market," Silas said to himself.
"I guess I should call Mr. Yusmairobis and ask him about his progress so far," Silas said and put a video call through to Mr. Yusmairobis.
The call connected, and Mr. Yusmairobis\'s voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Silas, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Nothing. I just want to ask how\'s your progress on the cleanup activities," Silas asked.
Mr. Yusmairobis thought that Silas was calling because he needed his help with something, but it seemed he was wrong. Silas just wanted to know about his progress on the cleanup mission he gave him.
Speaking of the cleanup mission, Mr. Yusmairobis was very surprised by how Silas was able to gather information on every single one of his cabinet members and government officials in the country.
What surprised him even more was how Silas was able to get a video of his daughter, who was being experimented on, in a laboratory facility located in Antarctica.
At first, he thought that Silas was actually bluffing when they had the second call, but that wasn\'t the case as Silas had proven his capabilities to an extent. All that remained was to rescue his daughter from those bastards, then he would faithfully devote his life to the boy\'s cause.
Back to the question that Silas asked.
Thinking of the progress made so far on the mission, Mr. Yusmairobis had a not-so-good expression on his face.
"The progress has been very slow. It\'s hard trying to clean them up when everyone and everything is connected in one way or the other," Mr. Yusmairobis replied.
"Do you need help?" Silas asked.
Silas wasn\'t disappointed by Mr. Yusmairobis\'s response as it was something he had expected.
It had only been two days since he gave him the mission, and it would be very odd if he actually successfully took out even half of the people on the list.
"If there\'s a way for you to help me out, then I will gladly accept it," Mr. Yusmairobis replied.
"Ok, I will send my personal assistant to you. She will help you out with everything you need help with, and I will also be communicating with you through her."
"Ok. When will she arrive?" Mr. Yusmairobis asked.
"Today."
"Ok, then. I will be expecting her," Mr. Yusmairobis said and hung up.
The personal assistant was no other than LUNAR. He decided to send her to help out Mr. Yusmairobis in completing his mission as it would make things faster for him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
One might ask why Silas insisted on using Venezuela as his base. Why not his home country, the USA? Is this treasonous?
Silas\'s response to that? Fuck the US government.
With the technologies in his hands, Silas knew a lot of people would come for it, and his life would be in danger.
Would the US government go as far as to protect him from the top corporate hounds of the world? Well, that\'s if they don\'t actually take up the role of the hounds themselves.
Silas tried testing the waters by releasing Ella, and the response he got was even beyond what he had expected for an AI that\'s just better than those in the market.
Silas, of course, knew that the gap and difference between Ella and other AI in the market was huge, insurmountable actually.
He knew how cutthroat the corporate world was and how \'friendly\' they were to their competitors. He also understood that it\'s very hard for new startup companies with groundbreaking technology to actually survive.
If they refused to be bought out, they would be crushed. One way or another, those at the top would definitely get what they wanted. This is one of the reasons there has been no great company with ground-breaking technology in a very long time and this is a trend that Silas intends to end.
Silas knew that he also wasn\'t completely safe even if the company is based in Venezuela, as the hands of the other world government and corporate organizations can extend to the country. Especially when there exists an organization called Black Hand, that has all the world\'s top political and conglomerate figures, it would be very easy.
Even though that is possible, Silas knew that it would be completely different from whe he\'s in USA, as Venezuela in the future, would be a country that belongs to him completely, and he would have full control over it.
This is the real why he decided to send LUNAR to help Mr Yusmairobis out with his mission.
Not only will she help out with the mission but she will also be his eyes and ears over there, and she would be the one to oversee and make sure that everything is ready before he finally moves there.
