Chapter 31
After digesting the information from that drama inside his room, Max switched his attention to Jamie.
Today's matter made him aware of something. The technology in this world might look similar to the one from Earth, but it's definitely different, and his understanding of it is too low. For all he knows, he might be under tracking without his knowledge.
Max still needs to teach Lucy, and even his future pets, using movies and anime.
It can't be helped. Such a method of teaching is too convenient.
"yo Jamie, come here. "
Jamie is currently selling drugs to some passenger. After the deal was done, he came and sat next to Max.
"What's up? ".
"I just want to ask you about my laptop. Is there is a way to make sure my location can't be tracked?. "
"impossible!", answered Jamie instinctively.
"at least as long as you are connected to the web, there is no way to hide your location unless you're using some super computer ".
Max frowned.
He was aware that in this world of superpowers, the surveillance over the masses was strict, but he didn't realize it was that strict.
The government in this world is excessively controlling.
"but how do I disconnect?", asked Max.
In this world, the web access is free, and once you open the laptop it is already online, with no way to disconnect.
"well it's complicated to explain. I can do it for you and you can watch and learn. "
Max nodded, "alright before I disembark, I'd let you do it."
since the web is off limit, then Max needed to stock up on educational materials beforehand.
After this issue is dealt with, Max planned to head back to his cabin and talk with black lollipop.
But Jamie spoke to stop him. "Big brother Max, can I talk to you for a moment? "
Max glanced at Jamie and sat down. "sure".
For a brief moment, Jamie seemed unsure. As an orphan who went from having nothing to his current position, Jamie is someone who seizes opportunities.
He made a good impression on Max and wanted to explore the possibility of gaining support from him.
Of course, he didn't have the illusion that he can rely on Max. He somewhat understood Max, and he isn't the kind of nice person that would help for nothing in return.
"big brother Max, all I want is to borrow some money, with interests of course ".
Max didn't answer immediately.
Back on Earth, he worked as a replacement for a shark loaner for sometime.
the feeling of resting and waiting for money to come to the house is quite good.
however Max still has one big purchase to make before going out of human territory, buying his new pets, the same one he plans to use his talent on.
"Jamie, I still need to buy a lot of things. I am not sure if there will be any money left. "
Jamie nodded in understanding. He kind of knew that superhumans are rich, but their expenses are simply enormous.
From the start, he asked Max with an attitude of a gambler.
With the conversation coming to a conclusion, Max went back to his room, although he felt slight compassion for Jamie, who had an experience similar to his, but no matter what, Max will never slow his progress for anyone, we'll maybe for his real parents but the two are already dead.
Max's gaze shifted to Lucy. "Maybe for you, little troublemaker."
Feeling Max's gaze, little Lu tilted her head at Max and handed him one of her seeds, wondering if he wants to eat.
Max smiled, and patted her head, "No thanks, you enjoy."
Entering his cabin, Max let Lucy go have fun on her own while holding the laptop.
And just like that, Max spent the next 6 hours choosing education materials for both Lucy and his new pets.
He already has a general growth path for his pets.
"Next, it's time to check Jamie's new stock."
But before he could, Lucy rushed to Max, tears rolling down like a tiny river.

Author note:
Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well.
Firstly, I want to inform you that there will be a 2nd chapter today.
Secondly, I wanted to let you know that I've purposely avoided describing Max's appearance for some time now. The truth is, I've left it up to the readers' imagination until his looks change after utilizing his talent and spending some time in the mountains. I actually have an artwork prepared for that.
Now, I must warn you that there are spoilers ahead.
…
Moving on, this chapter may give you the impression that Max is undergoing a transformation and becoming a good person or something of that sort. But don't worry, he remains a villain and that won't change. Here's a little spoiler for you - when Max is questioned by a boss-level enemy about his villainous status and what it means to be a villain, things get interesting.
His answer.
" Emperor. a villain is a happy individual. It's just that the price for his happiness is paid for by the rest of the world, either willingly or forcibly, and both you and I are villains.
Emperor. it's sad that we stand as an obstacle to each other's happiness"
I just wanted you to understand this much about the Mc.
I wish you all a great day.
