Chapter 21: Getting Stanford University President's Contact Information
Daniel wasn't the only one. Everyone in the group were also shocked, only that the level of shock they experienced varied, with Daniel and Layla feeling it more.
Chloe was unable to sleep. Not due to shock but because her phone was ringing non-stop. Everyone in the group was calling her, wanting to get Silas' contact.
When she saw that they didn't want to leave her alone, she decided to put her phone on airplane mode.
"You went to school together for years and you didn't ask him for his number, neither did you after graduation but because you see he's doing well now, you all want to get close to him. Just like I always call you guys; circus of fools."
.....
The next morning, Silas woke up feeling very tired and his eyes swollen and heavy.
"Ugh..... I hate waking up like this."
Silas dragged his tired body out of the bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. By the time he got home yesterday from the party, it was already 12 midnight and due to the long hours he spent driving, he felt extremely tired and this made him fall asleep immediately after his body touched his bed.
"Seriously, I didn't notice it at first but driving to Oakland and back is hellish," Silas said to himself as he dressed up.
"Now, how do I go about getting the president of Stanford University's contact? It would have been easier for me if I had someone in the university but I have none," Silas thought to himself.
Silas decided to go downstairs for breakfast as he was feeling very hungry. When he got downstairs, he saw that the girls were just placing his food on the table.
"Good morning girls," Silas greeted them and took his seat.
"Good morning." The two of them replied.
After they were done serving the food, they went back to continue with their work while they left Silas to eat.
...
Few minutes later, Silas was done eating and Serah was clearing the plates.
"Umm.... Serah, do you by chance have anyone in Stanford University? Maybe someone studying or working there," Silas asked her.
Since he didn't know where to start looking from, he decided to try his luck with his new employees.
"Yes, I do have someone in Stanford University. A former highschool classmate of mine is studying there," Serah replied.
"Nice. Please can I have her number?"
"Sure. I will get it for you now."
Few minutes later, Serah gave Silas a piece of paper on which she wrote the phone number of her former classmate, Evelyn.
Silas immediately dialed the number and after a few rings, it was picked and a female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello. Please who's this?," The voice asked.
"Hello. This is Silas. Am I speaking to Evelyn?"
"Yes, you're. Please, how did you get my number? I don't remember giving it to anyone called Silas."
"I got your number from Serah."
"What's your relationship with Serah?"
Silas couldn't help but massage his temple when he heard Evelyn question. Girls and their sixth sense.
"Serah works for me."
"Ohh... So, what do I owe the pleasure of the call to?"
"I need your help with something. Serah told me that you're studying at Stanford University."
"Yes, I'm studying at Stanford University but how does that relate to what you need help with?"
"I need you to get me the president's contact information. The contact information of the president of Stanford university," Silas said, stating his reason for calling.
"The president's contact information? I thought that was on the official website."
"No, it's not. That's why I'm asking for your help."
"Ok, I won't promise anything but I will see what I can do."
"Ok. When should I be expecting a reply from you?"
"Today or tomorrow."
"Thanks, I will be waiting for your reply then."
With that, the call ended and Silas let out a sigh of relief. Though he didn't know if Evelyn would be able to get the contact information for him, he had to place his hope on her, as he had no choice.
While he waited, he decided to check the system notification he has been putting aside, and his status information.

"Do I really have to spend money to get rebates rewards because I want to level up?"
"$280 million to exchange for system points. And it's just to raise my stats to that of an average human. I wonder how much I would be spending in the future for stats points? Billions? Hundreds of billions or even trillions.
How would the world's economy handle it I guess that will be left to the system to take care of," Silas said to himself, as he thought of the system's level up requirement, and the absurd amount that's needed for it.
...
Time flew and it was almost night when Silas got a call from Evelyn, with some good news.
She was able to get the contact information with the help of the university's Student Union's president.
Silas thanked her profusely and offered to compensate her but she refused. Silas insisted and she finally accepted after Silas decided to compensate by buying her lunch.
After his call with Evelyn ended, Silas saved the President's contact information and made a decision to call first thing the next morning, as it was already late and it would be rude and inappropriate of him if he called today.
