Multi-Gene

David felt gratitude in his heart but he opened his mouth and couldn\'t even say a word as he choked.

Mr White seem to have felt David\'s gratitude. He smiled softly. "Silly kid, I\'m only doing this for my reputation. If you fail, no one would want to become my disciple and then I might be removed from my position."

David froze and the tears threatening to come out from his eyes seem to have received a pause signal.

"Shameless!" David muttered and forcefully collected the pad from Mr White while wiping his eyes.

"Hahaha. I\'m pretty sure I saw tears coming out, don\'t tell me you were about to cry." Mr White mocked pointing at David\'s face.

David retorted. "I\'m pretty sure you are seeing things now old man. You best go wash up before you leave cause you stink."

"Sigh, i don\'t know where they bring a kid like you from with no respect for your elders. One of these days, I might actually strangle you to death my self." Mr White complained with an helpless sigh and he squeezed his hands tightly for better explanation.

David snorted. "At least, I know you can barely do anything now. You are too weak for that anyways."

Mr White shrugged then a smirk formed on his face. "That might be true. Do you want to try?"

David blinked his eyes and squinted them tightly. Although the thought did occur to him to use the opportunity to whip his masters ass but still, David couldn\'t shake off the feeling of impending doom that he was feeling.

He could feel a sharp stinging sensation right above his neck. It was as though there was some kind of invincible force hanging right for his throat.

Moreover, David was in no mood to fight. He was still feeling slightly emotional right now.

"Forget it scaredy cat." Mr White waved his hands but then, he stopped joking as he stared at David seriously. "Make sure to read and memorise every underlined notes I\'ve written down on that holopad and also, do not lose it."

"It contains about three hundred thousand pages. Try as much as possible to read the important ones written in red lines while you can leave out the other details. The information might be too much for you to assimilate so always remember to rest for a while when you encounter a stumbling block and then try again." Mr White warned.

David was surprised. Writing three hundreds thousand pages in a single day? David was sure he wouldn\'t be abkr to manage that even in a month. The energy involved, the will power, the speed involved was something out of the ordinary. 

but then, he nodded his head as though he didn\'t notice a single thing. Mr White continued to warn him about various things and David continuously nodded his head. But then, David felt that he was just repeating his warnings.

"Stop nagging, you can go now old man. I know what to do otherwise you might be too late for your mission." David chased.

"Alright alright. Chasing me out from my own Lab." Mr White muttered but then turned around to leave.

David eyes began to sting as he watched Mad White exit the Lab. No matter how Mr White put it, David knew he did all of this because he genuinely cared not because of some personal gain.

Alright, there might be some gains involved but still, he was aware of those who treated him right and he would make sure to repay them. And as for now, all he could do was make Mr White proud.

David sighed heavily. His gaze shone and a never before seen determination lit up in his eyes.

David gritted his teeth. "I will not shame you."

A few days later, David was lying on the floor, his eyes red as he sat cross legged on the floor.

It was as though he was be devilled. Veins pooped up on his head and he smelled a bit awful since he refused to take care of himself. His hair was already in sickly look.

Around him, there were numerous holographic image with text written on them that came out from the holopad.

He opened multiple tabs and placed them orderly in front of him as he continued to red through them.

David flicked his arms mechanically as he finished reading that page, opening to the next page.

But then, there wasn\'t any page left for him to read. It was then his fazed eyes focused back to reality. He looked around him and frowned. There wasn\'t any more tabs/pages left for him to read.

He had... Read them all? 

David wasn\'t at all surprised. He opened his interface and checked on something. "Three days has passed?"

It was somehow within his expectation. He had calculated he was going to take three to four days to memorise every single page in the holo pad. 

But if Mr White knew of this, he would be totally shocked out of his mind. He had estimated that it would take a week for David to go through the notes he had deemed as important, the ones he had underlined in the holopad. 

But David had not only memorised the underlined notes, he had learnt by heart every single details in the written in the holopad. 

Now that he had gone through the theory part, it was time for the practical. 

Mr White had placed the materials David would need in that very lab and had told him to request for more materials if he had exhausted the one\'s available in the laboratory. 

Closing the tabs of notes, he stood up as he switched the holopad off. By his far left to the wall was a huge metal/glass large cabinets. 

There were various tools and small equipments that could assist him with the experiments. Like the glass test tubes, beaker, measuring cylinder, burner, thermometer, etc. 

But those weren\'t at all important, he shifted his gaze to far right and there, he could see Cryo-box.

The Cryo-box isn\'t particularly a box but a huge room that contain various organs and materials kept frozen in order to preserve and maintain their freshness.
