"You can come it," Alex said when he heard the knock on the door.
Hannah opened the door and walked in. She was wearing a beautiful purple dress that matched her fair white skin and dark brown hair very well. She looked at Alex who was looking at the computer and frowned.
"Why aren't you dressed yet?" she asked.
"Dressed?" he quickly looked at the time and realized it was 7 pm. "Is it time for us to leave already?" he asked.
"Yes! We need to leave in 15 minutes," she said exasperated.
"Oh," Alex immediately stood and closed his laptop. "I will dress right now sister. Are we going to a fancy restaurant or a dinner party?" he asked.
"No, it's much better than that. Just dress well, you don't really have to look the absolute best," she said and left him.
Alex looked through his old clothes and didn't find any that would be considered well enough for how Hannah was dressed. So he opened his bag of new clothes and chose a simple shirt, coat, and pants that looked sophisticated enough for whatever his sister was taking him to.
After getting dressed, he took his phone and left the room. Hannah was waiting for him in the living room and stood the moment he entered the room.
"Finally," she said and looked at him. "Oh, you look nice. You might just end up getting a girlfriend for yourself tonight," she said.
Alex blushed a little and asked, "Are we going somewhere where there will be a lot of girls my age?" he asked.
Hannah made an embarrassed smile and said, "Not really. At least, I don't really know. Maybe there will be, but probably not. It's not a socializing place either so… sorry if I gave you any expectations."
Alex chuckled a little and said, "It's okay sister. I wasn't being serious. Should we go now?"
"Oh yes, let's go," Hannah said as she took her bag and walked out of the house with Alex in tow. They went down the elevator and got into a cab a minute later.
Hannah gave an address to the driver, but Alex didn't know that many places in Oakleaf City, so he had no idea where this place was. He just looked outside the cab, enjoying the nightlife of the city.
After 15 minutes of the ride, they were still in the cab, and Alex was surprised by how far away this place was.
"Wouldn't it have been better to take the train, Sister? It looks like this place is quite far away," he said.
"No. I looked up the map and the building is quite far away from any train station, so it's better that we took a cab," she said.
"Where exactly are we going sister?" he asked.
"To Channel 8's station," she answered finally.
"Channel… 8? Isn't that a news channel? Why are we going there?" he asked.
"Hehe, Your sister has been selected for an interview in tonight's 9 PM show," she said.
Alex was shocked. 'An interview? With sister Hannah? What is going on?' he wondered.
"Interview about what?" he asked.
"Oh, it's an interview with the people in Eternal Cultivation who have really good starting points like High talent, or great spiritual roots and body," she said.
"Huh?" Alex was surprised. "You have one of these, Sister?" he asked.
"I have all of these," Hannah said with a smug smile on her face.
Alex tried asking for more information, but Hannah just smiled and told him to wait for it on the news.
"How did those people even find you?" he asked.
"Oh, I saw it in the forum. The people at Channel 8 made a forum post requesting everyone with great talent to fill a form if we wanted to appear on an interview. I didn't want to at first, but then thought, why the heck not. Maybe I can even be popular like this," Hannah said.
"After that, I got a mail yesterday morning to verify some of the information I had put in. Can you believe I had to show them some screenshots of my transaction with Deva corp to prove that I was in fact a high-ranking player?"
"Thankfully, that was all I needed to prove. So I get to have an interview today. Although, there will be quite a few others there with me too," she said.
Alex fell into deep thought. 'I wonder if I could get in there with my current income as well?' he wondered. 'Although I don't think I would like that. I can't imagine myself on the TV,' he thought.
Suddenly, he remembered something about the TV. 'That news yesterday… that was… Oh, so this was what they were talking about when they said not to miss it as it would be the greatest news regarding Eternal Cultivation to date.
'I did want to see it, but it seems I will be seeing it live,' he thought.
The cab ride lasted 30 minutes more where Alex just looked through the different buildings lighting up bright in the night.
'This looks exactly like Hong Wu Sect's valley, only more modern. I didn't know cities lit this much at night,' he thought. This looked better than the festivals they had back in his hometown.
Approximately, 50 minutes later, They finally reached the Building for Channel 8. It was a massive building that was wider than his imagination, going up to more than 30 floors.
'Woah!,' he thought as he looked at it. Hannah paid the cab driver and walked out of the car with Alex.
"It's really big, isn't it?" she asked.
"Yes, Sister."
"Is this the place?" another voice came from behind them. They both turned around to see an elderly man walk out of a cab. He looked to be in his 60s and was dressed quite well in a simple coat and pants.
He looked at the sign that said 'Channel 8' and said, "Ah, this really is it." He then turned his head around to see Alex and Hannah in front of the building too and asked, " Are you kids here for the Eternal Cultivation interview as well?"
