Gamer Superstar

Chapter 47 [Bonus ] 47 - My Son is a Genius!

When Liv and my mother stopped fighting, the atmosphere around the table became much lighter.

Family conversations were much more harmonious now that the two of them were talking to each other and Liv was taking a more active part in the conversations.

Before going to sleep, Liv came to thank me, as did my mother.

Remembering the mission God had given me before I was brought into this world, I was satisfied that I was doing what He had asked of me and feeling good about it.

At first, I only cared for them because of the mission God had given me and because of the love old Noah had left for them in this body.

But as time went by, now that I had been in this world for more than 20 days, living with them every day, interacting with them every day, getting to know them better, getting closer to each one of them, it filled a boat that I didn't even know I had.

A lack that I felt in my old world for a real family, something that my old drunken father never gave me, I could feel from these people and it was a great feeling.

Today I can say that I really care about each of them and want the best for them.

Even though they each have their own flaws, I manage to care about each of them despite those flaws.

These were the last thoughts I had as I lay in bed before falling asleep.

The next day, I did my morning routine and took the opportunity on the way back from my walk to stop at a bakery and buy some different things for us to eat for breakfast.

Even though buying these things was a bit expensive, costing a total of $60 for everything I bought, it was nothing considering how much I was making per week.

And seeing Ethan's big smile when he looked at the beautiful Morando cake I'd bought him made every penny worth it.

"Noah, do you want to learn to drive today?" my dad asked me, making me raise my eyebrows in surprise.

"Absolutely!" I said excitedly.

I've always been a fan of cars, and I have to admit that one of my goals with the money that would come with my career would be to be like the artists I saw on TV with a big garage full of different cars.

But the first step was to learn how to drive.

Picking up the key my father had thrown me, I smiled as I walked into the garage.

The 10-year-old Toyota Camry he had, though old, was very well maintained. Like Ethan and me, my dad loved cars, but he didn't have the money to buy the car he wanted with the jobs he had and the high expenses of a five-person household.

But that might change in the future...

"Okay Noah, how well can you drive?" My dad asked as he sat in the passenger seat.

I was already in the driver's seat when I looked at all the buttons and things I could do.

"Just the basics I've seen on the internet, anything beyond that I have no idea how to do." I was being honest because I really didn't know anything.

"Okay, I'll pretend you don't know anything. First of all, the pedal on the right is the accelerator, the one in the middle is the brake, and the one on the left is the clutch. Since this car isn't automatic, you have to use the clutch to shift into the next gear. He began to explain.

For the first 40 minutes we just sat in the garage with him explaining things about the car and all the theoretical things I needed to know to get the car out of the garage.

When the first 40 minutes had passed, I received a notification.

[New Skill Unlocked!]

When I read the skill, a smile appeared on my face as I felt the new knowledge enter my mind like a fresh breeze.

With my understanding of how skill levels worked for me, I knew that having reached Lv 1 in this skill meant that I had the knowledge of someone who had studied everything my father had just explained to me for a month, amplified many times over in just 40 minutes of training he had given me.

I told him with a confident smile. "Okay, I think I understood and memorized everything!"

When he heard me say that, he was a little confused. "So fast? Are you sure?" He was a little skeptical. "Noah, the car is like a gun, if you make a mistake, a life can be lost and you'll spend the rest of your life behind bars. You have to be serious about this..."

Knowing the reason for his doubt, I smiled reassuringly as I explained. "That's the gas, that's the brake, that's the clutch, to know the acceleration point I have to feel the car's engine vibrate when I take my foot off the clutch, or get used to it by driving the car for a while. The lights on the dashboard meant..."

Seeing me explain the various functions he had just explained to me in great detail, my father's mouth dropped open in shock.

"I think you really learned and memorized everything I said..." He said in surprise.

I smiled and nodded, lightly patting the steering wheel as I spoke. "Now can we hit the road?"

But to my disappointment, he shook his head as he got out of the car. "Let's go to an empty parking lot first, it's dangerous to let you drive in a residential area yet."

Understanding his point of view, I just sighed and let him drive the car to a nearby parking lot.

- Jonathan's Pov -

As I looked at Noah sitting in the passenger seat enjoying the music on the radio, I couldn't help but sigh.

I always thought the best of my children, but how could I have imagined that my oldest son would be a genius?

When I heard Lauren say that he was very intelligent, that he was learning to cook faster than she could imagine, I thought she was exaggerating, because I know how mothers are.

But seeing it in person was something else.

I was already surprised when I saw how much he learned to sing and play the guitar in a short time, but that could be attributed to his musical talent, then he showed that he is also talented as a personal trainer, because he managed to learn everything very quickly and training with him teaching was much easier and painful the next day...

But add to that the talent he showed in learning everything I've talked about, and it could only show that he really is a genius... hahaha, what would you say, my son a genius?!

I just couldn't say that to him, I saw how confident he was now, saying that might turn that confidence into arrogance...
