"Also, while we're at it, calculate how much for training new staff and all the equipment we'll need" David ordered.

[That is already done; however, it is important that I ask, do you plan to focus on the hardware or the software part of the Virtual Reality industry] Nous asked.

"Am I required to choose?" David replied.

[No, you aren't sir however it would still be wise to pick a side]

"We're not doing so, with your capabilities, we can focus on both sides".

[Okay then, I shall provide the blueprint based on that] Nous replied as David finally wore his shirt back and turned to leave.

Everything else was now out of his hands. However, he still had a lot to do. As soon as he left the underground section, he immediately rushed to his bathroom to wash off all the sweat, he had accumulated over the course of his trainings.

"David!!, are you home?!!" A familiar voice called out. "Yes, I'm coming, I'm bathing!!" David shouted in reply as soon as he heard her voice.

A smile subconsciously formed on his face as he quickly bathed, dressed and rushed to meet up with her. As soon as he got downstairs, he immediately swept her off her feet, carrying in bridal style.

"David?!" She asked confused by his behaviour.

"I've missed you" David said as a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"It was only five hours… what if I was working full time?" She asked.

"Then I'll probably buy Sammies and make you their CEO then we can spend as much time as we want". "Ha, money don dey worry this one sha" Fadila said but the smile on her face widened even more.

"If I no spend the money on you, who I go spend am on?" David asked as he carried her into the house.

As soon as they got into the sitting room, David finally let her down. He had just achieved two things by doing this, one, he made his woman happy and two, he tested his strength.

He found carrying Fadila to be way more easier than before, it was almost as though she lost a few pounds in just the few hours, she was at work. "So, what were you up to today?" "I thought about it and how would you like to be the CEO of a million-dollar company?" David asked. "What?... what do you mean by that?" She asked clearly confused.

"I'm planning to bring Nous Studios to reality" David said as he sat on the table opposite her.

"What's that?"

"When I created Renovatio, I also hinted about the existence of a game company called Nous Studios which in turn is owned by Nous Industries, I already registered the companies" David explained. "Let me get this straight, you created a company and then created a child company for that company without neither side actually existing". "How are you so sure that it doesn't exist?" David asked. "The last time I saw you, you and I were complaining of our next session school fees... that was last week… You definitely can't set up such a company in a week" She replied as she folded her arms and relaxed into her seat while staring at him.

Normally she would rush at such an opportunity after all, who didn't want to be the CEO of a company. Even if she didn't know what the company did, her answer would automatically be yes then she would learn more about the company.

However, she was dealing with her friend and now boyfriend, she knew him well enough to know when he had done something smart but in an impulse manner. As she had heard, hinting the possible existence of a company called Nous Studios was smart but she knew that there was no physical location for it.

If she heard of such a company, the first thought that would come to mind would be that it was a scam and would probably never want to associate herself with the company ever again in fear of being duped.

"Okay I get it so do you accept?" David asked again with a smile on his face.

"Naturally"

"Wonderful, you are the best" David shouted in joy.

The smile on his face refused to fade as he continued staring at his girlfriend. This was exactly the reason why he had chosen her for the role, he was smart, but he wasn't street smart, Fadila was a good combination of both street and book smart.

Which was weird considering that she came from a family that was wealthier than his and spent majority of her life indoors. "Don't worry that will be arranged, now have you eaten, I cooked beans" David said as he stood up from the table and began walking towards the kitchen.

"But before you celebrate, how much is my payment?" Fadila asked with a playful look on her face as David smiled even more.

"Don't worry that will be arranged, now have you eaten, I cooked beans" David said as he stood up from the table and began walking towards the kitchen.

"You cooked?"

"What?... of course, I cook, I live alone, you can make I die from starvation" David said somewhat offended that she thought he couldn't cook.

"Okay then let's see what you can do" Fadila said.

A few moments later, she finally realized why he had never offered her food despite the fact that she had visited him multiple times in the past. "Are you sure this thing is edible?" Fadila asked.

"I think so?" David replied not so sure himself.

The so-called beans were nothing more than a burnt mess that was somehow still filled with water. David looking at his own cooking wondered how such a thing was even possible even with Nous helping him.

[Sir, please don't implicate me as well, I didn't help you, you refused to listen to me in anyway] Nous quickly said.

"Traitor" David whispered.

"I don't know if I should be angry at the waste of ingredients or be proud that you actually tried for me" Fadila said as she gave him a kiss.

Truly she had no idea what to do for now, normally she would have the urge to scold him but remember that the person, she was referring to was now a millionaire, all she could do was keep quiet but he also tried to do it so she wouldn't have to when she came back.

Both reasons were enough for her to simply let it go, at most it was only ingredients worth around five thousand naira. It could and would be replaced easily.

"Okay then let's eat out or order food" David suggested trying to save himself.

"First let me tidy this place up then we can discuss that" she said as she quickly raised her sleeves and got to work.

Looking at her, David felt like he had made things worse, she was supposed to be resting but here she was doing exactly what he didn't want her doing in the first place. "Place effect, [Immortality] on her" David said quietly as a soft white glow covered her indicating the activation of the effect.

[Sir are you sure that is all you want to give her?] Nous suddenly asked.

"Na, you're right, [Dynamic Adaptation], [Spiritual Adaptation] … these two should do the job" David thought.

[Sir I think you over did it]

"In my books, that's called a good thing".

[No, sir this is the equivalent of her being in a state of constant recreation, you just created a god without even realizing it] Nous said with some level of urgency.

"Is that a bad thing?"

[If any nearby gods notice, yes but I am currently working to mask her aura, it would be best you add in a concealment effect]

"Okay then, add in [Unnoticeability], that should be okay right?" David asked with his heart beating fast for some reason.

[Yes sir] Nous answered as David unconsciously released a sigh of relief, he didn't know he was holding.

"You will have to explain all that for me". ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Despite how nerve-wrecking the entire situation was, he was still happy about what he had done. He had chosen [Dynamic Adaptation] because it sounded cool and was the first name that popped into his head when he input the description he wanted.

In simple terms, it was an ability that allows the user to remain in a state of controlled evolution or as Nous had called it 'recreation'. The idea was to let her continually improve by existing, her evolution would follow the most natural part possible.

The [Spiritual Adaptation] did exactly the same thing but as its name implied for her sprit or soul. Thinking about it now, David understood why Nous had said that he had basically created a god without realizing it. With Fadila's physical body ever evolving in the most natural way possible, her spirit would do the same as well and eventually at some point, she would become something other than a human even if she would look and probably act human.
