《Doomsday 2020》40. Reaction
Advertisement
Alex is currently waiting in a fancy restaurant, James Randall walks inside the room. With a gleeful face, he walks up to Alex without a walking stick.
"Thank you! Thank you, my friend, I feel really great!"
James Randal had taken both the spirit stone. He can now walk normally again.
SHHHHHH...
Alex suddenly throws him one of the table knives. James was startled. He manages to dodge the knife. Somehow he saw the knife flew a bit slow for him.
"From your dodging speed, it seems that you are still within the strength of middle-rank Mortal Realm. It seems that you are not yet completely cured, Mr. James."
"Mortal realm?" James was confused, but with his current condition it already made him very happy.
"Yes, it is your current stage of strength. Consuming more of the stones could push you even beyond the limits of the human body."
James Randall was really excited by this news. This guy is a billionaire who can buy anything but have to live the rest of his life using a wheelchair. This news really is a beautiful song to his ear.
Alex continues, "So, what do you think about the Doomsday message?"
"Honestly I do not believe it, but I have seen first hand the effect on this miraculous stone, so at the moment I am keeping an open mind about this. I am a very rich man, if the Doomsday does happen, then money will have no value to the world. Men like me will lose their value. Just like any other business investment, the smart thing to do is to manage risk. I will start investing some of my money into the new currency; food, medicine, weapons, and protection."
"You are very wise Mr. Randall."
"When the Doomsday starts, I really hope that we can help each other. There is actually one thing that we can start preparing now."
Alex was discussing with James Randall about creating a way to communicate after the disaster. When the Doomsday starts, all communication signals will be down. The only way to communicate will be using a long-range two-way radio. The plan is to prepare a relay station in every 40 - 50 kilometer between Bali and Surabaya, that is about 10 relay stations. Afterward, they decided on the frequency and time.

“One very important point is about the base, Let me show you a very important location. The location is in central java, it is going to be the sanctuary for all people who live in this java island.”
After giving some information to the Randalls, Alex has 2 days before the Singapore gathering. He decided to use the little time he had to visit and try to warn some of his close friends.
The video message becomes the trending news in almost all channel, many believe that the Harvard professor have become crazy due to stress. The other possibility was that the professor was threatened. The professor is currently missing, none of his relative is able to contact him.

"The last agenda for this gathering is about the video that went viral yesterday."
The facilitator turns on the big TV and plays the video.
"Why did we bring up such cheap information within this meeting?"
"We have investigated that this was produced by the Randall family from Indonesia."
"The Randalls? That kid inherited the family business at such a young age. Maybe he got crazy because of his illness."

"That's the thing, we have investigated that his sickness have been cured and it is because of the same stone. We don't buy the Doomsday nonsense. But there is a chance that the Randalls with their profound medical research center has found a secret formula to a miraculous medicine."
Hearing about the miraculous medicine, the other families ears become focused full of interest.
"The Randalls have sent us a message and invited all of us to meet in Singapore on the 23rd. I vote to continue this investigation and send a representative to go there."

Magic-Farming
A thought experiment gone out of control, inspired by kosnik4's popular story, Magic-Smithing. What would life be like for someone else who was transported to the world inside Magic-Smithing? Someone who wasn't as prone to encounter incresasingly dangerous people, whose life was a little less chaotic? What if this person was content with a simple life of farming? Tending to the plants, sowing seeds, and reaping a great harvest at the end of the year. Of course, he's also a data scientist, so he can't help but squeeze out the maximum possible efficiency of his time and the potential of his attributes. Who doesn't make excel spreadsheets in their spare time? This is a slightly more "Slice of Life" esque version of kosnik4's story. Hopefully lighthearted, funny, and as enjoyable to read as it is thinking of increasingly ridiculous skill progressions. Thanks to kosnik4 and Magic-Smithing for providing fertile grounds for creativity to thrive. NOTE: THIS IS A FAN FICTION, AND ALL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS BELONG TO KOSNIK4. I'm a patron of his story, and love reading about what happens next in his story. I've tried my best to be as accurate to his canon science as possible, though it's not 100% feasible. Afterall, the story isn't even done yet! My plan for the releases is to release a single chapter a day until 3/7, and then release 4 chapters a week on M, W, F, & Sat. P.S. If anyone can figure out what the EXACT formula for Level XP is, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to doubt my math and excel capabilities. I have an equation that is fairly accurate and stays close to his values, but not exactly the same.
