The phones he ordered would be with him by then and he could freely purchase enough abilities to stock up in his app in a week, he could then give a full demonstration of its abilities and secure a sort of giant customer.

The app sounded like a divine ability but to truly use it you needed capital. Sure he could just rob a bank or something but that would just mean he wouldnt really have the time to build up strength nor we he have access to the resources once the government took notice of him.

The siblings could always just buy a second rate technique and power up, perhaps it would help them be stronger now but if they can get one why not aim for the best?

Besides once their plan was put into motion it wouldnt take long for their resources and authority to literally make them untouchable. Until then they had to be a little careful, not because they would be in trouble. Alex was sure that if anything happened they could easily take over an island or maybe even a town but then what? Get starved out?

His opponents werent NPCs who wont move until he does and remain stationary when out of the screen these are people, living breathing and worst of all thinking people.

He could hide in a village but that would diminish his available resource pool. The app was amazing indeed but to truly use it he needed to have resources. Alex was the type to fight when needed but until then he preferred making sure he has the ability to fight when needed before the fight.

He knew doodle would try to sieze the app for themselves, pehaps take over the siblings hard work and use it to profit themselves. He had no intention to give them a cut from their revenue, he would not let them be the distributer or act as a middle ground but instead as a employee and a customer.

Doodle would surely try to be a shareholder of sorts but he planned to make them want the features so bad they instead become customers and pay with their own services.

The reason he revealed such a destructive ability was to give doodle a desire, a sort of 'making sure he had the ability to fight when needed'. He gave them a reason to want the features of the app but it also served as a demonstration of the ability to curb their greed if they ever tried to force anything.

There were some points where his plan can go horribly wrong such as Ted declining his suspicious offer.

He was fortunate the meeting time was in a week, within 5 days he would have his order of phones and with the extra 2 days he could stock up on functions and during the meeting he wouldn't have to worry about his app being incomplete.

By now Alex was back home. He saw his parents talking to Laura about something while she looked very concerned.

"Father, Mother I promise I am not lying" she noticed Alex and as if he was a winning lottery ticket she suddenly cheered up "Brother, please help me explain."

"Dear, its not that we mind spending all that money on the abnormal amount of items you both have been buying but atleast tell us where its going."

This sentence alone told Alex what the conversation was about, this wasnt some sort of self insert modern day fantasy despite the chip being straight out of one. No one buys 3-4 of the same phone every month or so, not to mention the expenses its illogical in itself even with money to burn. The parents would obviously wonder about it.

Although the Royce family didnt go broke but their available budget was still lowered a while back, the extra expenses were worrying.

"Dad let me explain."

Alex interjected. He did his best to think of an excuse in the few moments he could get. The perceptionist skill helped him quite a bit here by giving him the illusion of minutes worth of thinking time.

"Actually mom, dad I started a small business and Laura was just helping me with it. I cant get into details right now but I already earned over 300 grands."

The excuse would never work, if he didnt have money to show for it after all 300 grand wasnt a small amount and unless he had some success in a business or straight out robbed a bank he wouldnt be able to get it. Robbing a bank went straight out of the window as a possibility, the parents knew about the chip in their neck but they didnt know what it did and assumed the shield was the last of it.

They were obviously still concerned about an unknown almost parasitic piece of technology literally inside their children but the doctors clearly found nothing unusual during the time they were tested. What could they do about it then?

Alex tranferred the money to his father and the confirmation soon popped up for him.

"A swiss account? I dont know anyone with such an account, dont tell me... Alex is it you? When or how did you even get a swiss account"

The amount transferred was exactly the amount Alex had told him, short of a few dollars taken by the bank when transferring.

"Dad, Please trust me for now alright? I'll explain everything later on and I promise I didnt do anything illegal for it."

Self defense wasnt illegal right? The money was offered too, he didnt extort or steal it so technically it was completely legal. Well murder was illegal but he didnt get paid for the murder itself.

"Alright, Violet lets trust the kids, I am sure they have a few secrets they wont tell us about yet. Remember the special buttons we got from them? They found something they wished to do with their life, as parents who were almost never here let's support them as best as we can. You two remember we are your parents count on us for help if you need it. I cant stop a meteor but in such a case atleast we will all be together"

The siblings were touched, the family was close despite all the teasing and the long time they spent apart. Violet nodded and simply said

"Yes, secrets. Laura use protection alright? I dont intend to be a grandmother so soon. Alex dont force your sister too much alright?"

Yes close indeed. The tears that were threatening to spill out from the eyes of their disappeared as if they were never there. The two were sincerely touched until the very last sentence. The two yelled out

"We arent doing that!".

The parents could have sworn they heard a muffled 'yet' but couldnt tell who it was from, common sense would suggest Alex while experience would say Laura. It could have been their minds tricking them because of their own thoughts.

Now that the misunderstanding was over the siblings made their way over to Alex's room to discuss todays events. The two had come to an agreement to always discuss whatever the two did that day, two heads were better than one after all.

Alex as always told her everything. Mercer, Ted, doodle. Laura heard it all and understood he had no choice, her brother was simply troublesome and careless.

They could have just sent the app directly to the private phones of the richest people on earth with their tech skills but because Alex was careless and showed off his phone they had to go about it in a less efficient manner.

Then again connections to the rich would never really hurt them too bad or atleast compared to not having them, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. Thankfully Ted mistook Alex as some form of deity, is there anyone courageous enough to go against a deity while being mortal?

The discussion continued until the App suddenly had a notification pop up.

Limited edition offer for all users! The app has gained access to a few random vials of blood belonging to dragons and pheonixes as well as creatures like devouring beasts and many others! The users have a one time chance to exchange their points for attempts to gain the blood of one of these mystical creatures! The Vials are useful for experimentation and can also be used to train your body, their specific uses I am sure the users can figure out!- Pre recorded message from the Admins

A vial of blood? What could it even be used for? Alex pondered but Laura on the other hand grew excited. She had read countless novels where the protagonists would change bloodlines to a different species and knew the best use for these vials.

Laura suggested it to Alex and he excitedly agreed, the two gained 3 tries each for all of their points. The exchange rate seemed somewhere around 4000:1 but since they intended to exchange all the points anyway they didnt check the specifics.

Alex himself was a bit excited after hearing about the possibility of getting a bloodline. Who wouldn't want to be a immortal dragon? Unlike Laura he was still a bit concerned about the safety or how possible it really is with just a vial of blood.

Still it was a limited time offer and they could make the points back later on. He was a bit regretful that he didnt have more points but he could do nothing about it for a week.

He thought about running out to a store and buying out all the items but he opted against it, the time limit seemed to be less than an hour. He could think about whether its safe or what to do with it after getting the vials.

There was a wheel like lottery system with hundreds of different names on it. The bloodlines were seperated into colors, the lighter the color the more space it took. There were only 3 black sections and each took a space the size of the needle itself.

The chance of getting one of these would be around 0.01% and to get a specific one would be even less, common sense dictated these were the best 3 vials. The top of the screen had confetti and a message saying

You can even win these! Primordial Dragon blood! This is the blood of the first dragon, the dragon's body was massive and its staple meals consisted of stars. The dragon had the ability to control entropy and can finely control subatomic or atomic particles also known to primitive creatures as magic, Nicknamed the Ruler of magic! Endless Void Wolf blood! This wolf was one of the only beings that saw its own universe from its beginning to the end, The wolf will never age and although its size is small and can easily fit on a small planet it considered distance as a mere concept that does not affect it. In simple words it has the ability to teleport on a whim, where and even when are simple thought concepts. Nickname Time wolf. Devouring Beast blood! contrary to its name this beast is never hungry, thankfully for the universe it lived in as it would have devoured it all otherwise. The beast is made of unique atoms with unknown structures or even particles that are still unknown, it has the ability to absorb whatever it eats into its own being and can regenerate as long as a single atom still remains, As a side note it can also transform into any shape or size, perfect for the ladies and some gents. Nickname God eater

The standards for these creatures were literally universal, here he was scheming for a single planet worth of resources while the app literally had blood from god like beings.

He felt a bit stupid for being cautious against the app earlier because as he is now the app didnt need to scheme against him, it is trying to use him but if it wished to harm him it would have done so already. The ones behind this app could even get blood from such creatures what does he matter to them?

For now atlease he is useful to them or so he hoped.

Oddly enough there was even large white 'human' that took 10% of the entire wheel, for a wheel containing hundreds of names 10% is a large space, 'Goblin' took even more as the largest section at 15%. Imagine a wheel with hundreds or even thousands of names written on it in a readable size, how giant must it be?

Alex laughed at the possibility of getting human for all three of his turns but he knew that if he thought about it then he would be setting himself up. The universe loves messing with people, the thing you think of most is what usually happens but only the bad things.

He clicked spin. It kept spinning building up suspense for Alex. After spinning for a while it finally showed signs of stopping, it looked like it might stop on the black option which would be a miracle but it the needle was slightly off and fell on the next section.
