Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Alex was a little surprised that his cousin asked the two something like that without consulting him. However, he didn't find himself opposed to the idea.

"Stay here? I… I don't know if we could. It's an amazing place, but it's quite expensive I have to say," Sarah said.

"Why would you care about that? You are making a lot right?" Hannah asked.

"That… is true. But still, it's quite a lot of money," Sarah said.

"Don't worry. We will be sharing the rent. To be honest, that will help us alleviate some of the pressure too," Hannah said.

"Hmm… I will have to think about it for a few days. What about you, Emily?" Sarah asked.

"I'm… not really opposed to the idea. It's just that I don't think I will be able to afford the rent at all. Just 500 dollars a month is already a lot for me. 2500 is not something I can do easily," Emily said.

"Alright then, I will let you guys think about that. You are always welcome," Hannah said.

TING TONG TING

"Huh? Did someone forget something?" Hannah said and went up to check the live footage outside her door. There were two men standing there, but they were someone she didn't recognize at all.

At first, Hannah got scared a little, but then she noticed their clothing. It was a matching uniform.

"Oh, wait for a second, what time is it?" She quickly took out her phone and checked the time. It was 3 Pm. "Hey guys, my capsule is here," Hannah said.

"Oh, it's time already?" Alex said as he walked up to the door, which Hannah opened.

"Hello, are you Ms. Hannah Wright?" the men asked.

"Yes, that is me," Hannah said.

"We have a package from Deva Corp., please sign here." Hannah quickly signed the package and 2 meters by 1 meter by half a meter cardboard package was soon hauled in by the two men. After bringing it inside, they left.

"Huh? They aren't gonna help us set up the thing?" Alex was a little surprised.

"I don't know. How are we even going to carry such a heavy thing?" Hannah worried.

"Oh, you guys didn't read the forum this morning?" Sarah asked.

Alex and Hannah looked at each other in confusion. "Why? We've been busy with the party all morning, so I haven't had time to check it," Hannah said.

"Of course. Umm… you two, try carrying it," Sarah said. Hannah didn't know what she meant, but that was the only thing they could do, so Alex and Hannah got to either side and started grabbing the bottom of the package.

"On 3 okay? 1, 2, 3"

Both Alex and Hannah put massive force into picking the package. "Woah" they both screamed as they nearly lost their balance.

The capsule was incredibly light. Perhaps only 30 kilograms at best.

"Hahaha, that's a nice reaction from you guys," Sarah said as she put down her phone that she was using to secretly film them.

"W-Why is it so light? Did they forget the capsule?" Alex asked.

"No, it's just supposed to be that light. People have been posting about it in the forums all day long," Sarah said.

"Let's open it up here then," Alex said. Hannah quickly brought a knife from the kitchen and started cutting open the cardboard box open.

Alex spread apart the cardboard flaps and revealed the capsule. "Woah," he said in surprise. All 3 of the girls came in close to check as well.

"Damn, that looks better up close than in the picture," Sarah said.

The capsule was a little smaller than the cardboard it came in. It had a curved cover on top and was made entirely of something that felt like both steel and metal.

It was mostly white in color with the occasional gray and blue streaks of lines running across it. Alex and Hannah carried the capsule up to her room and put it in the corner of the room.

"Wait, it's so light. Won't it fall over if I move while I'm in the game? Or even when I'm trying to get in or out of the capsule?" Hannah asked.

"Oh that. Wait for a second, it should be in the box," Sarah quickly ran downstairs and came back up a minute later with a bunch of things in her hand.

Some of them were wires for the capsule, but there was one thing that was a little unexpected. They were suction cups.

"Take these and put them under the capsule or around the side. If you manage to grab hold of something smooth with these like the floor or the wall, you don't have to worry about falling over at all," Sarah said.

Alex quickly took the suction cups and put them under the capsule before setting them on the floor. After pushing on it a little, the suction cups got to working and the system was as rigid as if it were super glued to the place.

"There are also screws in the box, but I don't think you guys would want that," Sarah said. They put the cables in place and finally, the capsule turned on.

They admired the capsule for a bit. "Should I… get in?" Hannah asked the crowd.

"Uhh… you can get in, but we will have to leave for now. Sorry, but My capsule will be coming soon too, so we have to leave," Sarah said.

"Oh, when?" Hannah asked.

"Should be within the hour."

"Oh, then you better hurry. Let us walk you down," Hannah said and along with Alex, took the two girls to the building door at the bottom.

"Thank you so much for coming today. We will see you guys next week when the classes are back on," Hannah said. "Oh, and don't forget to think about the proposal. We would love to have you two as roommates."

"Ok, bye."

After the girls left, Alex and Hannah went back to their apartment. They couldn't wait to try out the new capsule.
