Project Relife: 2x Isekai System

Chapter 38: I have a condition

Observing Xin became alerted and was having suspicions on them, Hiroshi added that they were also part of the project and they had signed the contract of confidentiality with the army.

Xin calmed down and exclaimed, "Oh!!"

"Yes, then are you the one who solved the one given to Mr. Ryuu?!"

"Yes, I am the one."

"I see, you are quite a genius then!!"

After complimenting Xin for his coding skills, Hiroshi jumped onto the topic and started to ask him some parts that he was having problems understanding.

Amongst the question, not all were unknown to Hiroshi. He had sneakily added some questions to test Xin's knowledge. After a ten minutes discussion with him, both of them became convinced that Xin really was the prodigy programmer who had been invited by their Chief.

The descent was very slow, and they were only halfway to their destination. Seeing the atmosphere became silent again, Aisen was feeling a little uncomfortable. Xin started to fiddle with his mobile again and Hiroshi joined him in it by taking out his tablet and noting down the things that Xin had taught him earlier.

Out of the blue, Aisen remembered the rumours of the day before, according to which Xin had declined a job offer of 75 million USD per month that comes with extra perks and benefits.

He was pretty sure that once he graduates from the academy and becomes a full-time technician in the JSDF research division, he would be able to get a yearly package of at least 12 million USD per annum. But that also after working there for five to six years. And the kiddo before him declined a 75 million USD package just like that. It was hard to swallow on his part that a high school kid like him declined such a big amount.

'Either it's a lie or there must be some reason behind it.' He was nodding his head while thinking about it, when Xin called him out and asked him the reason for his nod.

"Ah, oh, this?!" Aisen replied in a weird way and was unable to give him a reply.

Xin laughed and asked, "Is there something that you wanted to ask?"

Aisen nodded his head twice and said, "Yes."

"Shot it out senpai, don't hesitate!!" Xin gave him his full consent and waited for his question.

"Ahem, Mr. Xin, if you don't mind, can you tell us the matter around the 75 million USD job?"

"You mean the one offered by JSDF?"

"Yes, that one."

Upon hearing the mention of this topic, Hiroshi stopped fiddling with his tablet and started to listen carefully to their conversation. Since Aisen had started the topic, he was pretty sure that Aisen would try to dig out as much as possible from Xin. So, he decided to stay silent and enjoy the convo that was gonna take place before him.

"So what do you want to know about it?" Xin asked casually.

"Sir, is it really true that they were offering you a 75 million USD job?"

"Well, I will tell you about it. But before that, I have one condition for you both."

"What type of condition?" both of them asked simultaneously. They had already made a hunch that Xin would ask them to keep their mouth shut about it and not to tell anyone on this matter.

But they were completely taken aback when Xin posed his condition before them and asked them to do it no matter what. Both of them were hesitating to comply with his condition in the beginning, but when Xin forced them to do it and said that he won't tell them about that 75 million USD matter, both of them agreed to comply with his condition.

It was nothing big. Xin just wanted them to call him by his name. He was just feeling uncomfortable when two persons older than him, and soon to become his seniors, were calling him 'Sir'.

Aisen and Hiroshi were flabbergasted when this weird request of Xin. And they were not ready to comply with it. They were strictly ordered by Yamamoto to address him with respect. But what Xin was asking them to do was completely the reverse of that.

Both of them were not intending to call him by his name, but as mentioned Xin forced them to comply with his condition, hence they agreed and started to call him by name.

"Good senpais," Xin commented and told them everything about the 75 million USD offer.

Judging from Xin's expression, both of them determined that the kid had been really offered a good salary package, but for some reason, he refused them all.

"Xin, why did you refuse all the offers? I mean, you are good at coding, and they were giving you a handsome salary What else do you want?"

This time the one who asked this question was Hiroshi. He had been waiting for a while for Aisen to shoot out this question towards Xin. But after waiting for five to six minutes, he couldn't take it anymore and decided to ask him out himself.

"Ah" Xin stopped at that. Now that he thinks he himself wasn't sure what was the reason for refusing those job offers.

Nen, Yamamoto, Natasha, and Ryuu assumed that Xin wasn't interested in those offers since his parents were very big figures in Asia. And Xin himself had more than enough money for spending throughout his life. But that was partly a reason for refusing those offers. Now that Xin thinks about it he wanted to spend his high school life without doing any extra work.

It was true that he had been given a mission to save the world from destruction and take revenge for the Xin of the magical world. But the other Xin, from the magicless earth, didn't want to do any work and slack around in his high school years.

In his previous life, he was revered as one of the best programmers, and like his dad, he was also a workaholic from the early time of his teenage years.
