Chapter 24

These few days it was extremely tiring for me. All because that Yanto kept pestering me to join most to the competitions.

Eating, Drawing, Sack race, Quiz, thankfully I didn't have to join chess, Yulia did it for me.

Other than that, when I got back I also have jobs to do such as teaching Old Man and after he went home, I'll continue writing the code for Super AI.

Finally, after the hellish lively day, it's finally come to an end.

Today was the last day of the Class Meeting and our exam result is out.

Yanto, the class rep was entrusted by MR. Ridwan the paper contains results of this class.

"Guys! You guys won't believe me!"

At this point people would just think, it must be either Kervin or Yulia but they didn't expect what comes out of Yanto's mouth.

"The highest in this class is actually..."

"Andy!"

Yanto pasted the paper on the board to let everyone see it. At the same time, people start coming to the front to see the paper.

"What?! No way!"

"Andy? Seriously?"

"Eh? Andy?!"

The students that weren't convinced, they wanted to confirm it with their own eyes. No matter what, they can't that Andy scored the highest in our class."

"Congratulations."

Yulia congratulated me with a smile when she heard the news. Unlike others, she didn't go to check the exam result as she believes that Andy definitely has the capability to do it. After all, Andy was the one that taught her everything.

"Thanks."

"You're not going to see?"

Yulia shook her head.

"Later, when they calmed down."

Currently, the front was still filled with the other students, checking their own score as well as Andy's.

Some also approached Andy and congratulated him.

Slowly, Andy' was surrounded by the others asking him how did he able to do it and something.

Andy was overwhelmed by the unending questions coming at him, he slowly answers them one by one but with stupid and normal answer.

"How did you do it?"

"I study."

"Wow, Andy did you cheat?"

"No."

"Damn, I should ask you to teach me next time."

"Sure, if we meet again next year."

While I'm being surrounded, Yulia secretly went to the front to see her how she fare in the final exam.

In turned out that she was the second-highest.

Just like what Andy expected, Yulia really beat Kervin in this exam.

"Maybe it's because Yulia taught Andy? Both of you hang out with each other very often recently."

"Yeah, that could be possible."

...It's the other way around. At least for now.

While they're gossiping with each other, I sneakily snuck out. I grab Yulia's hand and both of us went out of the classroom as quickly as possible to avoid them.

I forgot to see my own score. Nevermind that, the answer paper will be given by the teacher at the end of the day so that we show it to our parents.

The results paper was given beforehand so that students won't be noisy during the hand-out of the answer papers.

This is the only class that was given results paper, it was done by Mr.Ridwan and Mr.Ridwan only.

Another reason to like Mr.Ridwan.

Both of us hid for a while until the bell rung we returned to class.

Everyone has calmed down even though they weren't, with Mr.Ridwan around they won't dare to utter any words.

Mr.Ridwan gave out our answer papers one by one, calling our name to the front and congratulated us no matter what mark we score.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

"Good job."

...

"Work harder next time."

...

"You have done great."

...

"Next, Andy."

My name was called by Mr. Ridwan.

I went to the front to fetch my papers.

"You did really great. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you, sir."

That was probably the most compliment you can get from Mr.Ridwan.

Let's see how much did I get.

100. 100. 98. 100...

There's only one was 98, which was Bahasa Indonesia.

To think I made a small mistake...

As for Yulia, she got three hundred and the rest was ninety-eight.

Wow, she's catching up to me quickly, as expected of genius.

"You're not satisfied with that result?"

Yulia quickly noticed my disappointed expression when I saw my own result.

Yes, but It was because can't get Mervin to do something for me.

"I made a bet with my brother that I would score all hundred..."

"A bet?"

"Yeah. I wanted him to do something for me but since I failed..."

Gah, shit.

Mervin said he will prevent me from touching computer and wanted me to properly study if I failed.

That obviously will not happen. I'll secretly use the computer when he's not around then.

Now with the result of the exam out, I can ask Father to do a full-body scan.

After all the students got their papers, we could go home already.

All we need to do left is to get our report which will determine whether we advance to the next grade or not.

"Bye!"

"See you!"

I said to Yulia as she went home with her mother.

Three days, that's when we collect our final year report accompanied by our parents or guardian at 8 P.M in the morning.

Heading back home with the exam paper on my hand, I carefully put them upstairs first before I start my lesson with Old Man.

"What's that in your hand?"

"My exam result."

"Oh, let me see."

Handing the papers to Old Man, the moment he saw most of them were hundreds, Old Man nodded his head proudly as though he's the one who scored all those hundreds.

"As expected of my master but why there's one 98..."

Why did you remind me of that again...

Laying down on the couch, I was resting myself from all of the work that I've done today.

Old Man who noticed my tired expression didn't ask me to teach him and let me rest.

From tomorrow onwards, I'll have another thing on my must-to-do list, which was to visit James' house every day and start working on the Super Computer.

For VR-MMORPG!

-----

The next morning I got up early, I got some money from Old Man. The money was for my transport fee to get to James' place.

At the same time, I also paid him through Hero's earning, giving him over a hundred million rupiah.

The last seventy million that I gave him, I bet that he still hasn't found out.

"I'll be going out, tell my Father to not worry about me."

After I reminded Old Man to relay my message I left to hire a driver, aka oplet.

"I'm going to Palawan Beach, can you bring me there?"

I showed him a hundred thousand rupiah note. Seeing the hundred thousand notes, the driver didn't reject it.

"Okay. I'll bring you there."

It took thirty minutes to arrive at James' place.

"We've arrived."

It's has been years since I came here. This place is as shabby as how I remembered.

"Wait here, I'm waiting for a person. Later, I'll pay you another hundred thousand."

"Okay, okay. Go and bring your friend here, I'll wait."

Yesterday, I did email him that I'm coming. I hope he's here by now.

Where is he?

I walked around, trying to find James, after looking for a while, I spotted him inside of a hut.

James was apparently doing something unusual inside of the hut. He was serving the customer?

"Good Morning! What would you like to eat?" (Indonesia)

He's speaking Bahasa Indonesia though he has a weird accent, he is speaking a foreign language.

That's impressive for an incapable guy like him.

Walking over to the hut, James instantly notices me.

"You're here!"

"Yeah."

"May I know, what in the world are you doing?"

"I ran out of money. This is my only choice to feed myself."

Oh, I didn't know about that. Even though he has money inside his bank, but there's no way he could pull them out in this place.

"Ehem, I got a person to send you to Balai. Walk outside you'll see a large brown car. Go and buy your own car so you won't be stuck at this place anymore."

"But, my job here is not done yet."

And here I thought you desperately want to leave this place.

"Suit yourself, it's now or never. The person waiting outside won't wait for long."

"And I won't be bothered to come back to help you again."

Gulp*

James immediately drops the menu on his hand, removed the apron that he's wearing.

"Ma'am, I have something to do and I'll return in an hour or so."

James surprisingly spoke in Indonesian telling his boss that he'll be leaving.

"Ok, ok."

The owner didn't argue with James and immediately let him leave.

"So, where is the person?"

"There's a giant brown-colored car outside, just give him this and he'll agree to take you anywhere."

I handed the money to James, while he also gave me the key to his house.

"Thanks. My house is just at that corner, the one with a giant black gate."

James quickly left as for me, I went to find his house as quickly as possible in order to start and do my own work.

Black gate...

This must be the one.

The gate wasn't locked so I just went in and opened the front door, using the key.

Inside, it's like a normal house. Looks like, he's good at cleaning. His place was very clean for a man who lived alone.

Now, where did he keep my stuff?

I opened the first room that I found and it was an empty room with nothing whatsoever inside.

The next one was apparently his bedroom, there's plenty of photos of the wall.

My instinct told me that it's dangerous, the ominous presence of the pictures was familiar so I didn't bother to see what it is. I immediately close the bedroom and pretended I didn't see anything.

This must be the one as this was the last one.

Opening the door, Inside of the room I found a lot of packages which were probably mine.

I started by opening all of the packages and sorted them accordingly.

It took me a lot of effort just for unpackaging all of them.

With the stuff I bought laying down on the floor neatly, I start to move to the empty room which was unused.

I'll use this room as my workshop.

Working while sitting on the floor was inefficient, as there's really nothing inside this room, I can only sit on the floor.

I'll need to ask James to buy a table, chair, lamp, multiple electrical sockets, and maybe a toolbox too.

For now, I'll have to work on the floor while waiting for James to return.

Right now, I was disassembling all of the parts that I bought, the motherboard, hard disk, graphics card, RAM, etc.

I only took the parts that I needed and put the unuseful part away for now.

"I'm back!"

"Good, go and buy me a table, chair, lamp, electric socket, and every tool that you can find. I can't start working without all of those. After you've done that then you'll do whatever you want until next week."

"Really?! Alright, I'll go buy them right away!"

James left again, this time he has a car with him, allowing him to move around freely unlike last time.

Dissembling was done and right now rather than wasting time, I'll go and draw the design on the blueprint that I ordered.

An hour passed and James returned with a mover truck with him, to move in the table and chairs.

"Now I can leave right?"

"Yeah, go and do whatever you want just don't waste money."

"Got it!"

Now with everything ready, I should get started!
