International events were constantly changing, but they had little to do with Alex.
Although the source of all this was just a few "garbage bags" he casually tossed out—the core formula of the Rejuvenation Potion, the ecological circulation system of the hydroponic farm, and even the Laser Tanks and walking mechs newly equipped by the military—all originated from the 40k black technology he brought back.
But ultimately, he was merely a "technology provider." As for how these technologies would be applied and promoted, and how to deal with the shock to the international community, those were issues that high-level decision-makers needed to weigh.
Since they made their choice, they naturally had to bear the corresponding consequences.
Alex took a very detached view of this.
From his experience as a Star District Governor in the 40k World, he had come to understand a principle: do not meddle in affairs that are not your responsibility.
Matters for which someone else is responsible should be left to them to handle.
Unless there is a clear subordinate relationship, whether the outcome is good or bad is none of your concern.
As for "his mistakes will implicate you"? That is a question to consider only after the fact.
Any interjection before things are messed up is superfluous.
What's more, in the 40k World, he was at least a Sub-Sector Governor, Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, and Lord Inquisitor of the Outreach Ordo; if he were to intervene in any matter, he would at least have a legitimate reason.
But in this era?
Although he now had some wealth and a certain influence in some fields, if he were to intervene in matters at those levels... it was indeed not his turn yet.
Instead of worrying about these things, it would be better to arrange for his parents to undergo Rejuvenation Surgery first.
Alex picked up his phone and called his father: "Dad, are you and Mom free recently? I've contacted a top medical center that can do a comprehensive anti-aging health assessment."
On the other end of the phone, his father's voice was hesitant: "Anti-aging physical examination? Do hospitals even have such a program now?"
"Yes, the latest anti-aging technology reported on TV recently, I have a friend who participated in the project research and got two examination slots," Alex said lightly, as if just discussing a routine check-up: "I've already made the appointment, you two just need to find time to go."
His father was silent for a moment, but finally just replied: "Okay, I'll discuss it with your mom."
After hanging up the phone, Alex let out a long sigh.
He understood that parents of their generation inevitably harbored reservations about "extending life."
In their view, birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws, and forced intervention may not be a blessing.
But Alex didn't care about that.
Since I can let them live for decades, even hundreds of years longer... why not?
He opened the safe and took out four strictly sealed vials—these were high-grade Rejuvenation Potions personally prepared by Ovilia, far more effective than the common version.
"Next, it's up to the medical team's performance." Alex dialed another number and confirmed the relevant procedures with the other party.
—
Alex's parents were typical retired state-owned enterprise employees, diligent and conscientious their entire lives. After retirement, they returned to their small hometown, living a simple but fulfilling life.
On weekdays, the old couple enjoyed strolling in their community and occasionally planned trips, living a relaxed and comfortable pace of life.
However, time spares no one, and various ailments gradually appeared with age, reminding them that they were no longer as they once were.
When Alex called that day, his mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and her hand stopped halfway through slicing green peppers on the cutting board.
"When did this child get to know such connections?" She wiped her hands and walked into the living room, her voice full of doubt.
His father took off his reading glasses and carefully wiped the lenses with the corner of his clothes: "Young people, they have a wide social circle."
Despite saying so, his brows unconsciously furrowed into a frown.
The old couple exchanged glances, both seeing the same worry in each other's eyes—could their son have been tricked by some pyramid scheme organization?
But in the end, they decided to go and see.
Firstly, they didn't want to let down their son's good intentions, and secondly, they truly missed their son, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
Although Alex always said his work was going well on the phone, how could parents truly be at ease?
On the high-speed train, his father looked at the scenery rushing past outside the window and suddenly spoke: "I wonder how Alex is doing recently. He always says he's doing very well, but young people nowadays are under a lot of pressure."
"Yes." His mother paused upon hearing this: "I just don't know if this physical examination is reliable... Didn't the news say that many high-tech things now are scams?"
"Just treat it as a regular check-up." His father patted her hand, comforting her: "It's enough that the child has this intention."
When the train arrived at the station, Alex was already waiting eagerly at the exit.
Seeing his parents walking towards him with their luggage from afar, he quickly went to meet them.
His father's gaze scrutinized his son's face, trying to find clues in that familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face, but in the end, he just asked in a deep voice: "That physical examination you mentioned on the phone... what exactly is it about?"
"It's the latest technology reported in the news." Alex took the luggage and led them to the parking lot with ease, "I have a friend in that project team, and he helped me get two experience slots."
"Friend?" His father suddenly stopped and questioned: "When did you get to know such a friend? Is he reliable?"
Alex was about to answer when his mother tugged at his father's sleeve: "The child means well, don't ask so many questions."
His father sighed and didn't press further, but his tense shoulders didn't relax until they were in the car.
When Alex skillfully started the engine, he suddenly asked again: "When did you buy this car? You didn't take out a bank loan, did you? I told you not to take out a bank loan."
"I partnered with a friend to do some business a while ago and made a little money." Alex looked straight ahead, steering the wheel, and simply replied, without much explanation.
But this clearly couldn't put his parents at ease. Alex's mother quickly pressed: "What kind of business are you doing? Don't get scammed by others! You've never done business before, how do you have this kind of experience!"
"Mom, don't worry, the friend I'm cooperating with is from a government agency. This is a technology project supported by the state, and it's in the agricultural field, focused on ecological agriculture. The factory buildings have already been built, so there's no problem." Alex responded to his parents' concerns, while also trying his best to dispel their doubts: "And I don't participate in the operation, I just get a fixed dividend. If the project loses money, I won't lose anything.
This physical examination slot was obtained through a friend I met through business. You two don't need to worry."
Alex's explanation couldn't completely dispel his parents' doubts, but the old couple wisely didn't press further. Instead, they decided to wait and see, and make plans after understanding the situation clearly.
Thus, in a slightly silent atmosphere, Alex drove back to his new home, which again caused his parents quite a surprise.
