Chapter 88: MSG

"Mingyue, sometimes I wonder, is it all fate?"

"Fate? That is bullshit, Alex. Your life is carved by your own hands.

If at that time you rejected Vesa, or you decided not to go to that research facility, would you become a progenitor?

The same is true for me; there are so many things that just one difference would make me end up somewhere else. Our lives now are the culmination of our own personal choices.

I will never agree it's decided by fate."

"You are right."

"What is with you today? Being so sentimental now."

"One of my family just reminded me how selfish I am, and I realize she is right."

"Oh, What did you do, Alex?"

Alex then told her what had happened with Olivia and what she had told him about her family.

"Family… Alex, I don't know what to say about that. You know my own family situation.

I do feel happy with what my little brother and uncle do for me, but to ask for their help with my problem would just be a burden to them.

It's out of their scope."

"I know, Mingyue. I used to think the same too. I am not telling this to preach at you or tell you what you should do.

I am just thinking about it, and I think she is right.

To help with a problem there are many ways to do it, and with my ability, I have no excuse for it."

MingYue turned silent for a moment, then with a soft voice, she said, "A family where you share all good fortune together and face hardships together. That feels like a fairy tale to me, Alex.

You should know how people in my world do things. But if it can be true, what a wonderful thing that will be. You should cherish them, Alex."

"I know… What are you doing now?"

"I am just stabilizing my foundation now and taking a break based on Vesa's direction. Tomorrow, I should reach the Qi crystal vein."

Hearing this, Alex's eyes lit up. With many Qi crystal resources, he can start mass producing the Awe Cube, including the normal storage cube, meaning more money for him.

He can then start whaling to raise his cultivation level quickly and become stronger. "That is good; how is the situation?"

"It seems the vein is deep inside a cavern of a monster nest, but based on Vesa's calculation, they should not be my match."

"I see. Do you need me to send some goblins for you to use?" seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"No need, thank you. I told you before I prefer fighting with my own hands,"

"Alright, be careful then, MingYue. Have a good rest."

"Sure, you too."

Meanwhile, Olivia was sulking as she walked back toward SGE, cursing, "Stupid ALEX, Baka Alex!"

Feeling tired, she then sighed and took a rest near one of the trees.

In the past, Olivia also stayed at SGE for a while, so she knows the forests like the back of her hand, just like how she knows the place she showed Alex.

"Did I act too hard?" she mumbled, asking herself, then shook her head, "No. No, he deserves it. Not only did he ignore me for years, but he even risked his life without telling us."

Bored, she then took out her phone to look at the message and sighed, "As I expected, Madam really went after Leader.

No wonder Alex does things like that; he really takes after his mother in things like this. What should I do now? Tell them? Or not?"

She then scratched all over her hair, feeling it was better not to tell since it was for Luca to tell them, but she just gave a whole speech about it to Alex. Doesn't that make her a hypocrite?

But if she tells Alex and Emily, she is also afraid they will go after her without any preparation; after all, neither of them knows how strong Luca is.

She bit her lips, then sighed, "Forget it, I should believe in him. I will tell Alex tomorrow."

She shook her head and then started walking again. The dark night then turned bright with the sun rising from the east.

Ming Yue opened her eyes; she was sleeping in a sitting position, something she had mastered after living in the wilderness for a while since she needed to be prepared for an attack at any time.

She stretched her stiff body, then took out breakfast from her storage ring, first a special kettle, using mana to warm up the water inside it, then she took out a cup of noodles, pouring the water over it.

Afterward, she made tea using a teabag from Alex's world, but she changed the inside with tea from her world.

In her opinion, the tea Alex gave her is too bitter; the one she uses is tastier since it gives a mild, sweet taste without any sugar.

After a few minutes, she took the cap from the cup noodle, smelled the aroma, and slurped it, enjoying the taste.

It didn't take long for her to finish, "Alex is right. I will never be able to come back to eating bland food after this.

The food in his world is really addicting; he says it's because of something called MSG. I wonder if I can get that in my world.

What do you think, Vesa?"

[I am sure you can, Queen, but it would be a waste of time.]

Ming Yue chuckled, "That is true; tell Alex to send many MSGs next time; that should be a good item to sell; both cultivators and commoners will go crazy over it."

[You will sell them for money?]

"Of course not; we will make something similar to Treasure Pavilion, open a restaurant in every city that allows members to buy food with MSG, and high level will be allowed to buy MSG to bring home then.

This way, we can build our influence easily.

Sometimes, we will also sell it in the auction. I remember Alex said there are a few tastes of it, so let's make a few grades; we need one that people can easily get so they don't get mad and attack our place and one that is rare enough so it keeps some value. I will make my uncle start this after I go back."
