Meeting Cisco Ramon — The Sidekick!
It was unbelievable for Jimmy! "Was this the place for ASU? Are you sure? Are you really sure, Ginny?"
Jimmy couldn't be blamed for that either, as they reached a 5-star hotel, which was entirely booked for a week just for this seminar!
"Wasn't this Union for locals or just Americans?" asked Jimmy in disbelief as he saw many foreigners from many different countries coming and going!
The system replied much to his disbelief.
<<
The ASU stands for American Scientist Union, which is true, but there are more than just a local Union!
Anyone in the world can join the ASU, so more than 150 countries are members of the ASU!
People from member countries who have some contribution toward science can join the ASU seminars every year!
The joining of ASU is considered as glory to any individual!
One of the noteworthy things about ASU is that there are no fixed topics!
Yes, unlike other seminars, the ASU has no fixed topic — it is to encourage everyone to present their findings in the field of science!
People can even ask any questions which are bothering them in their researchers!
Isn't it great!
And that is why ASU is so famous!
Not only can people come here to boost their fame, and also can ask a problem that they can't solve! (As you know that this kind of people wouldn't surf the web, so online community isn't possible, so this is the biggest seminar for any scientist, researcher, and some well-connected nerds too!)

The hell!!
Jimmy was dazed by the information he got!
He only thought that the seminar was a local one and wasn't a big deal!
But the sounds of it, all scientist in the world participate in this seminar every year!
Jimmy thought the world was getting darker and his eyes getting heavier!
For speed's sake! How am I supposed to perform (Read: act) here! I don't know anything about advanced science!
Well, there is one thing I am confident in!
Reproductions in animals!
Well, I need to ask around if this topic is allowed to be discussed. I just hope they don't kick me out!
Jimmy sighed in defeat. He now knows why a system called naughty!
Well, in a sexual manner Jimmy did not doubt it, but it is mischievous too!
The system didn't provide full information until the end! Jimmy even made all the plans for both missions! How naughty!
Jimmy then thought and he found that it was his mistake to not ask about everything where he was going. It should be the first step. He needed to know the environment around the battlefield before he started the war!
Jimmy decided to prepare better next time, as he can't just blame others for everything!
Jimmy wanted to start planning once again as his previous plans were ruined with all these new pieces of information when he heard the systems voice!
<<
Ding!
Congratulations!
You have unlocked an achievement: "Self Learner!" (1/ Not available)
You realized the essence of war!
If you want to become a God of Speed and achieve immortality you can't just be in a passive state leave things to Fate! Be a master of Fate!
You need to actively look for an opportunity!
You need to prepare in advance!
You need to gather every piece of information!
Only with that, you can beat every opponent you face!
REWARD: +10 MPH
Current Maximum Speed: +60 MPH! (cheers!)
>>
Jimmy was happy that he unlocked an achievement with just some thinking, and what was more was that the maximum speed increased by 10! A whole 10 miles per hour! How great is that!, but the last world of the system (Cheers) made him feel like vomiting!
You are insulting me, aren't you?
Well, bad for you! I won't be depressed anymore!
I will work hard to reach a decent speed of 300 MPH very soon!
Jimmy than bring his focus back to planning as the ASU doesn't have any fixed topic that will be an advantage for people like him who do know much about science, so he can spout nonsense related to science!
And what could be a more fascinating subject than Paradox!
Jimmy never understood any of Paradox but he sure can ask and discuss (Read: Spout logical nonsense) all night long! It was Art and Jimmy was proud to master this Art!
It is easy to ask about a Paradox; Hard to understand; Even harder to reply; Almost impossible to prove!
With this, he can leave a lasting impression on everyone -- especially Cait, his soon-to-be Cait!
Jimmy had to admit that he was working and planning hard just to get that cold woman -- Dr. Cait!
He even started calling her by nickname without realizing as he already started considering her as his woman!
"What if I can give starting speech, now that would be really impressive! As there is no fixed topic so people would come to the stage by number or something similar. I can use that! I should use Cisco to get me first on that list! Yes, that way I can complete two missions together of Cisco and Cait!" Jimmy again plans to complete the mission.
Rolls Royce Sweptail soon reached the hotel as there was already a long line. Jimmy wondered why it was taking so long despite he was already there, and to his amazement, it turned out that there were photographers, a lot and lots of photographers!
Jimmy nodded his head in understanding as the American Secientisrs Union was so popular then there bound to the presence of media. They like hot topics and a bunch of scientists (Read: female scientists) from different countries are definitely considered hot!
A few people are coming out of one car, and the people would wait at the pre-made stage and walk on the red carpet! The photographers would start taking pictures and then the next car would come and the same thing would be repeated!
Jimmy almost thought that it was some film award, if not that there was a big banner of the ASU outside the hotel!
It was soon Jimmy's turn and his Rolls Royce Sweptail worth more than 12 million came. There was a dead silence, utter dead silence, but one of them started taking a picture, and others began as well!

They were taking pictures of the car! Yes, not the person, but the car! If the car was so expensive then the person was bound to be important!
Even after a full one minute, they didn't stop! They were trying to take a better photo of the car with different angels —maybe they wanted for personal use — and some even started the video!
Inside the car, Jimmy was in daze!!??
Am I that famous?
Why didn't I know that?
Jimmy then realized that people were impressed with the car, not with him!
"Forget it, forget it, I shan't be depressed with this kind of thing. Anyway, I wasn't planning to walk from the front door, as I need to meet Cisco first, and according to the system, Cisco's location is an underground parking lot!" Jimmy wasn't planning to show his face to the world before he got the proper ID, and that he could get after finishing the mission!
"Ginny, take the car to the parking lot, and find Cisco!" Jimmy gave his order to Ginny. He knew that Ginny could do many things other than driving a car, and finding a person in 500m range was a piece of cake for her!
Rolls Royce Sweptail started moving without anyone coming out of it. People were puzzled and disappointed that they could find who the person inside was. Mostly they wanted this hot piece of news, nothing more!
Jimmy looked at their disappointed looks, while someone even tried to stalk behind to find who the owner was!
Ginny didn't give them such a chance as she drives to full speed to take them to the underground parking lot!
Jimmy prepared himself to awe his future-to-be sidekick.
Soon, they were in the parking lot, and Ginny found Cisco — just as the system described — trying out various opening lines!
"Good, good! Ginny, made the sound of an engine to notify him of my presence!" Jimmy gave out another order, as the target was on sight — the plan had already begun!
She didn't disappoint him, nor did the car's engine!
*VRRROOOOOOOOM*
The sound was so big that it was echoing through the whole parking lot!
Ginny park the car smoothly just near where Cisco was standing!
Jimmy came out of the car whose door was open automatically!
Cisco was standing just near them, so Jimmy didn't need to walk to find him.
Jimmy looked around and found "tiny" Cisco standing there with open mouth and his hand tightly keeping the pages he was reading from!
Jimmy walked near him, "Hello there! This is my invitation card. Please guide me to the place!"
That was Jimmy's plan. He wasn't looking to make him a best friend, but sidekick! Jimmy just treated him like he was a security guard or waiter standing there to receive the guests!
Cisco was dazed and didn't know what to say. First, he saw the car of his dream — and of many people — then, it just parks near him with a style which made him crazy! He was a mechanical engineer, so he knew how great this car was, and this beauty was every man's dream — including his!
Cisco was just staring at the car with uncovered longing, and when a man came out of the car, who was at least six feet tall. His golden silky hair, and bright blue eyes, with a muscular but slim body, was what he could only dream of, but never could achieve, as he hates to go to the gym and work out!
When that man gave him invitation card and treated him as a waiter only then he came out of his daze! He soon became angry and started to curse the man in front of in his mind, as he was the enemy of all the men in the world!
How dare he have such a good face and eyes? And a tall, muscular body! He should be hanged and never let see his face to any women!
Cisco was half-angry, and a half in admiring state, and somewhat longing. He was about to insult the man and gave invitation card back and then showed off that he was this year's host when his eyes fell on the invitation card. His eyes became big and round like a ball and his open mouth was enough to fit an egg!
Johnson? Isn't that a rich guy who every year donate to many facilities of government and help scientific research in a big way!
No, that can't be true! But the invitation card is written in pure 24-carat gold, which was for only VVVIP people!
Cisco was shocked beyond words! He admires this kind of people, who help all mankind the most! He wanted to impress him, or at least make acquaintance when he heard man's impatient voice.
"Hello, what happened? Is there a problem?" Jimmy asked as to when he saw Cisco in a daze with the invitation card in his hand, he had a bad feeling.
"Oh, no, no. It just I didn't know that I would have a chance to meet the famous Mr. Johnson. I have heard so much about you and admire you for your genros donation of scientific projects! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Cisco Ramon, and I am this year's host!" Cisco spoke nonstop and extended his hand.
This time, it was Jimmy's turn to a dazed.
What the hell?
What donation?
What project?
Am I really that famous or did the system make that?
Jimmy knew that the system gave him an identity of some famous person, with lots of money! "Whatever, it will be good to impress people!" Jimmy thought.
"Well, thank you for your kind words, and I am sorry that misunderstood for someone else!" Jimmy shacks his hand and said, "How about this, as an apology, I will give you the keys to my car, and you could have fun with this beauty!"
Cisco was thrilled that he forgot where he stands and looked at the Rolls Royce Sweptail with hungry eyes!
Jimmy knew that Cisco was almost in his hand, "But, that has to wait, and you are the man I was looking for," which bring Cisco's attention to Jimmy, "Yes, I mean the host, and you are this year's host, right?"
Cisco was puzzled but excited to help so he could drive the car of his dream. "Me? What can I do for you?"
Jimmy smiled as he knew that his mission was soon to be completed! "Well, can you talk to the organizer on my behalf and ask them to place my speech first, oh if it is inconvenient then I will ask someone else!"
Cisco sighed in relief as the favor wasn't hard to complete, and he was sure that the organizers were more than happy to do that! "Sure! Why not! In fact, I am going there to do some of my work — you can come with me!"
Jimmy accepted his offer, and both of them started walking toward the stairs. Jimmy secretly checked the mission and it was completed! He walked normally without showing any signs of happiness. Jimmy made Cisco awe with his made-up story, and they soon become friends!
Now, it is time to complete mission 1!
