Chapter 685 Spending 500 Million Dollars
Chapter 685 Spending 500 Million Dollars
In the evening, Max kept his promise.
A large holographic screen in the living room displayed a vivid blue planet.
The term "holographic technology" referred to the ability to view images in three-dimensional 3D
format, unlike the flat surface experience of watching mobile phones and TVs. The visual sensation is
akin to observing virtual objects.
Several children marveled at the magnificent Earth before them, exclaiming with excitement.
Max relaxed and began his explanation, "This is Earth... When a typhoon forms, it appears like this in
satellite images..."
A holographic representation of swirling clouds appeared.
Max continued, "Once a typhoon is formed, it follows a specific path. What we see now is the typhoon
that is currently affecting Wyndon in real-time."
Lilly finally caught a glimpse of the typhoon.
Moreover, it was a non-threatening typhoon that could be observed clearly and explained
comprehensively.
She witnessed the typhoon's approach, its trajectory, the reason behind its cooling, and the duration of
its impact, as well as how long the winds and rain would persist.
"It's amazing!" Lilly exclaimed.
Max remarked, "That's why we'll have windy and rainy days ahead to cool things down. Wyndon was
quite hot initially, but this typhoon will bring significant changes. You'll need to wear a jacket when going
outside, otherwise, you'll feel chilly."
Lilly nodded in understanding.
"Alright, time for bed! You can enjoy your time at home for the next few days. Uncle Max will need
several days to pack and prepare."
Lilly replied, "Okay."
At that moment, Bettany appeared on a video call.
"Lilly?" Bettany smiled, "Did you go out today?"
Lilly shook her head, saying, "No."
Bettany asked, "Did you go to see the typhoon?"
Lilly held up her phone excitedly and exclaimed, "Grandma, look!"
She showed the typhoon on the holographic screen, demonstrating it to Bettany once again while
talking animatedly. Surprisingly, she repeated exactly what Max had just said.
Max was taken aback, amazed by Lilly's impressive memory.
Blake leaned back on the sofa, engrossed in his phone, and remarked, "Isn't she incredible?"
Max praised, "It's truly astonishing how this young child can memorize such complex professional
vocabulary."
Blake responded, "Well, I'm the one who raised her."
Max was speechless.
He threw a pillow at Blake.
…
While Max was busy packing in the following days, Mr. Martin was not sitting idle.
Initially, they were filled with trepidation, fearing that Antony would seek retribution.
They also worried that he might retaliate by reclaiming the virtual assistant Max gave them.
But they soon realized he was not taking any action.
Gradually, their anxiety subsided.
Although their virtual assistant research was ongoing, and they still harbored concerns, the
construction of the futuristic house continued unabated. Mr. Martin believed that even if retaliation
came eventually, he would have a virtual house to enjoy at the very least...
Their futuristic house was located in an upscale community near Mr. Martin's residence. He had
purchased a spacious flat spanning over 2000 square feet, with three sets of virtual assistants.
Darwin was consumed by his passion, paying no heed to Mr. Martin's worries. His sole focus was
creating his virtual assistant.
Consequently, he made swift progress.
Mr. Martin authorized a sum of 500 million dollars, which he promptly utilized for buying the equipment
he needed. The acquired items included high-tech panels, LCD screens, kitchen facilities, sofas, and
room amenities listed on Max's inventory. He spent all 500 million dollars in an instant, prompting Mr.
Martin to express his distress, remarking, "As expected, it's like burning money..."
Meanwhile, Darwin was engrossed in coding and commented, "Mr. Martin, it's not too extravagant.
Max's house costs 200 million dollars."
Considering that they spent only 500 million dollars for three houses, they even received a discount of
100 million dollars.
Mr. Martin pondered the situation. He initially believed that this project would require a significant
amount of money, but he still wore a concerned expression as he asked, "Couldn't you have purchased
one set of equipment for the futuristic house? Why did you buy three sets all at once?"
He worried that if the project failed, they would have lost 500 million dollars in one go.
In response, Darwin stated, "Mr. Martin, you never told me about that!"
Mr. Martin was speechless.
