[AUTHOR NOTE: I am currently in the process of editing and re-releasing Genesis Sync here on Webnovel, which you can find in the more by this author section.
A few of you may have read it, but most of you haven't, so please consider going over and checking it out. It has no planned release schedule and I will release chapters as and when I feel like it so that I don't get overloaded.]

"And I'm guessing you managed to get them because of your fame as a former player?" Adam asked as he followed the crate, which had begun to move.
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Actually no, I may be a famous FORMER player, but that's not enough to get box ticket seats over the rich and powerful.
I got mine as part of my agreement with Sports Cast; I'm going to be the expert commentator for the match.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Spector): Why did you negotiate box ticket seats if you're not even going to watch the match in it?]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): For … reasons.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Spector): Suspicious.]
LadyErkath (Aqua Primus): You know, Lorelie, you could probably have watched the match live by just agreeing to perform at the half-time show.]
[OfficialLorelie (Spector): True, but then I wouldn't be able to concentrate on the first half.]
"Alright, I accept," Adam said while removing the hover cargo lifts after the crate reached its destination.
[[Stream quest accepted.]]
[OfficialLorelie (Spector): Yay, you're the best babe.]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): It should be a good match.]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Awesome, we get to watch that underwater sport again.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Only if he streams it.]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Why wouldn't he stream it?]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): So does this tournament happen all at once or spread over a period of time?]
As the chat discussed the upcoming Sphere Tournament, Adam moved towards another of the highlighted crates and stealthily attached hover cargo lifts.
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Why is the streamer still working as a dockworker?]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): You just saw why, you idiot. He's planning to steal them.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): I just wanna see more of that Agent 69 stuff, not dockworker stuff.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Then fuck off and find another streamer doing that… oh wait, you can't because there aren't any.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): What?]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): We all know the streamer is the only one doing stuff like this for real and any other streamer is faking it.]
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): Right. Did you hear about Prime's recent stream?]
[HackerSu (TIS-Starleap): You mean his recent collaboration with Pherise?]
[Whitehorn (Darah 5): Oh yeah, that shit was just embarrassing.]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): What happened?]
[HackerSu (TIS-Starleap): It seems Pherise saw the success Diva Lorelie had with her recent performance at the Phoenix celebration and wanted to replicate it.]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): You mean that awesome holographic projection of the space battle while Diva Lorelie sang?]
[HackerSu (TIS-Starleap): Exactly. She contacted Prime and arranged to do the collab, unfortunately, because they don't have the tech to create that giant holographic space as the streamer did and because it was such a rush job, with very little planning and preparation, it was an entire shit show.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): It was funny how bad it was.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): I can't believe that they thought normal holographic projections of the mechs would suffice and Prime's mech battle was so obviously faked.]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): I've seen the video clip posted on Xer-verse of it. I can't believe they tried to mimic Prime's mech moving as fast as the Black Knight by speeding up the video footage.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): I know, that just shows that the entire battle was pre-recorded.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Talk about embarrassing.]
Milky Way Galaxy, Earth.
"Who's this Prime and Pherise they're roasting?" Millie asked as she read the chat's comments.
Triple Trouble was currently travelling by plane from London to New York City.
They had suddenly received a call from Min-jun Kim, the CEO of SKK, the entertainment company they were signed for, telling them to head for New York City for a sudden last-minute private show.
"Prime is another streamer who has looked for trouble with Adam Spencer in the past, while Pherise is a rival of Diva Lorelie who tried to take her position as Diva in the past," Joanne McClain explained.
"Tried to?" Millie asked.
"Apparently, back before Adam Spencer met her, Diva Lorelie was on the verge of losing her position as Diva and Pherise was the favourite to replace her," Joanne answered.
"Can't believe we have to head back to the Western Continent; we only just came from there," Billie complained.
"It's certainly unexpected," Millie replied without looking away from the stream where Adam was continuing to move crates.
"Any idea who hired you?" Joanne asked.
"Some rich guy who wants to spoil his little princess on her sixteenth birthday," Billie replied.
"Why didn't he arrange this before now?" Joanne asked with a frown before adding, "kind of suspicious, isn't it?"
"The previous act probably dropped out, kind of like what happened with Emily," Joanne replied.
"Who can understand how the rich think?" Billie scoffed.
"Hmm," Joanne replied thoughtfully.
"What? You think it's suspicious?" Millie asked with a smile before adding, "other than it being annoying, this sort of thing is fairly common."
"What's annoying is that we have to fly to the US to perform a few songs at some spoiled princess's birthday, only to then get a flight back straight after so that we're not late for the next leg on our tour," Billie complained.
Adam continued to transport the crates as instructed while stealthily equipping the hover cargo lifts until suddenly Hunas called out to him from his workstation,
"HEY KID, GET OVER HERE."
Adam, who had just finished delivering one of the crates and was on the way back to get more, turned to Hunas before approaching him.
"You said they sent you over from catering, right?" Hunas asked as Adam arrived in front of him.
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Uh oh, has the streamer been found out? Kekeke.]
"That's right," Adam replied.
"Which dome catering department sent you?" Hunas asked.
"The main dome," Adam replied.
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Oh yeah, he's totally suspicious of him.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): You better get ready to act, streamer.]
"Good, I have a job for you," Hunas replied before indicating a small rectangular box that was beside him on the workstation and saying.
"I need you to deliver this to the boss's mansion."
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Oh shit, did the streamer just get a ticket into the target's house?]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): No fucking way he's that lucky.]
"The main mansion?" Adam asked in surprise.
"What, you've never been there before?" Hudson asked with a frown.
"I have; I just didn't expect to be sent back so quickly," Adam lied.
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Liar, the streamer's a filthy liar.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Liar liar pants on fire.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): What?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): It's a children's taunt.]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): What are you, 7?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): I don't care, I don't care, I can buy another pair.]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): What?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): You've never heard that?]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): No.]
"I'm not sending you back; I still need you here and you've been doing a good job," Husan replied before explaining.
"Unfortunately, the boss suddenly ordered that this be sent over immediately, and since you work at the main dome, you're the best to send since you will get it done the fastest.
"What is it?" Adam asked while looking at the small rectangular box.
"That's not your concern," Husan snapped before ordering, "just deliver it and get back here asap, understood?"
"Understood," Adam replied while nodding.
"Good, now get going," Husan ordered while handing the small box to Adam.
Adam took the small box before turning and heading for the hangar bay doors that led further into the dome.
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): How fucking lucky can you get?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Luck is a skill too.]
[LadyErkath (Aqua Primus): Unfortunately, it means he won't be able to steal all the crates he had his eye on.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Spector): True, it seems he missed out on three of them, you better hope that Gods Oasis was in one of them, Lorelie.]
[OfficialLorelie (Spector): Any idea what was in those three?]
[HackerSu (TIS-Starleap): No clue.]
Adam made his way towards the large cargo bay doors, and as he passed through, he saw dozens of crates of different sizes moving towards hover lorries onto which they were loaded.
Once a lorry was fully loaded, it floated off the ground before heading for the exit of the dock.
Adam looked around in confusion before mumbling, "how the hell am I supposed to get to the main dome?"
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Hahaha, the streamer got a special task but doesn't know where to go.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): This is what happens when you lie, streamer. Kekeke.]
[OracleRomy (Elysium): Remember kids, lying gets you nowhere.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Unless you're a politician.]
[LadyErkath (Aqua Primus): I resent that claim.]
[[Directions to the cross-dome transfer point have been uploaded to your minimap.]]
As Spector made the announcement, Adam noticed that his HUD's minimap now had a red line on it.
As he focused on the minimap, it enlarged in size, making it easier for him to see.
"Thanks," Adam said as he set off in the direction the minimap indicated.
[[Your welcome.]]
[RealOtaku (Earth): Spector = Best wife.]
[SciFifanboy (Earth): Trueee, the streamer should add Spector to his harem.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): How are you supposed to date an AI?]
[SciFifanboy (Earth): His AI has androids, right?]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Can you even date an android?]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): Shouldn't the question be, can he even fuck one of the androids?]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Damn perverted astronaut.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): That does pose an interesting question, though. Is it legal to date artificial lifeforms?]
