Digital Life - Chapter 4

The established re-sp.a.w.ning point

“Yes, right! That’s Right! ” the father gritted the teeth. He grabbed with difficulty the chair and yelled at him saying impulsively: “Back in the day when you played The Legendary you could get good money, if you don’t earn up to 30~50 thousands, tough you could still get 20~30 thousands. But, how much money did you spend? I won’t say, 2 bucks in one hour during daytime, while at Wu Han city, 6 bucks including the nighttime, 1 buck in the late morning for one hour and 10 bucks for the evening, at least. If you charge 100, you obtain 100. Is that enough? How much will you have at the end of the month? How many years have you been playing game on-line? And how about the late evening snack? And the bottles of water per day, one bottle is 3 bucks. Then, you learn to smoke? You don’t even want the cheapest ones, you must have the 10 bucks of cigarettes, don’t you? One day, 2 or 3 pack? How much money did you make? How much money did you spend? Did you figure it out?”

“I ” criticized by his father, Wei Wei couldn’t say any words.

“w.a.n.g Wei! This time, dad is talking seriously, I don’t want hit you because you’re not a child anymore. There’s no sense if I keep going to hit you. You don’t want to study, that’s Ok! Dad won’t force you. But you must find a way to proof to your father that if you don’t study you can either make money and support your family. Then I won’t blame you. If you’re not able to do it, then behave and go to study, if next year you won’t pa.s.s the exam for the university, then, you will com to the stall to kill chickens with me. In the future, I won’t give you any other penny. You will kill chickens adequately, following your father to work, to kill chickens for life! Any question?” w.a.n.g Wei’s father asked with a tone of order.

“No.” w.a.n.g Wei, facing down the head, whispered gently.

“Good, now you can go back to your bedroom. Think over it, tomorrow you will go to the stall with a well-behaved manner and help me out to kill chickens. If you just dare to escape, don’t blame me to break your legs!” his father said to him in a ruthlessly word.

He slowly walked into the room, he didn’t even have the meal. Right after he closed the door, he suddenly heard clatter noises coming from the outside with the following voices of his father and mother quarreling. Gloomy and depressed, sat on one side of the bed, he fall back straight on it, once he closed his eyes and reflected on his own conscience about the thousands happened events, reflected upon himself. That queer voice appeared in his brain once again.

Player w.a.n.g Wei, do you want to activate the sleep mode? Confirm/Cancel. The father just gave to him a political lesson and he barely remember about it, but suddenly it came back to his mind. He swiftly stood up, extended the left hand where he wore the ring and gazed at it carefully.

‘ Though whether one side or another I look, it is still a common ‘stainless steel’ ring, there is nothing different about it from others ring. Oh, by the way! There is another b.u.t.ton, what kind of stuff is that? ‘

Thinking about this, he promptly took the white b.u.t.ton from his trouser’s pocket.

Although, he gazed at it very carefully and discovered, that was just a ‘stainless steel’ made for the game of Go, it didn’t have absolutely nothing special about it, including the ring on his finger which he wasn’t able to take off, hasn’t anything special at all.

He pulled open the chair from the side of the desk and sat down slowly. Leaned on the desk, he put the b.u.t.ton in front on him on the desktop and started to play with it observant.

“Do you want to establish the re-sp.a.w.ning area on the ‘Earth’ server, longitude x.x.x, lat.i.tude x.x.x? ” the mysterious voice appeared once again form his brain.

“Yeah!” He neither know why he respond so quick, all at sudden he blurted out a groaning sound ‘Yeah’. Though waiting for its reaction time was “re-sp.a.w.ning point has been activated, since it’s player’s first time to set up the re-sp.a.w.ning point, you have 15 days of limit to cancel. The re-sp.a.w.ning point will be activated in three seconds! 3! 2! 1! Re-sp.a.w.ning point activation completed.”

The white b.u.t.ton suddenly flashed out a white faint light for a while and waiting for the time he reacted, the light was already disappeared, and the b.u.t.ton was just a b.u.t.ton, although it was tightly attached on the desktop.

He extended the arm right away thinking of picking up the b.u.t.ton to, though that moment he already put the hand on the table intent to carve the b.u.t.ton.

“Re-sp.a.w.ning point has been activated successfully. Do you want to cancel the re-sp.a.w.ning point? If you cancel the re-sp.a.w.ning point, in the future the death player cannot re-sp.a.w.n from the ordinary death. If you want to re-install the re-sp.a.w.ning point, it needs 15 days of activation time.”

When he heard the voice appeared in his mind, he didn’t dare to speak out at random, at the same time he cooled down. He lead the ring on his left hand towards the b.u.t.ton on the desktop and starred at both objects, then he started to think carefully in every detail the whole things that happened during the day.

‘ First I put on this ring, after that I ended up in that whatsoever chicken “fantasy world” hint, then the “Earth” new service server whatever was established. Subsequently the cleaver property came out. Following to that there was the enemy attack! G.o.d! And the re-sp.a.w.ning point appeared, too! ‘

He catch his head with both hands and knocked it fiercely.

‘ Then, could it be that I played too much video-games and I got infected by a virus? Is that an illusion coming form my brain? Or is it just a dream? ‘

‘ Right! It’s just a dream!’

Got to this conclusion, he stretched out his two hands and clutched his face.

“Aah!!!!!!”

He caught the mirror that was on the desk, gazed at his red face and had the confirmation that it wasn’t just a dream.

Then, was it an illusion?

‘Right, definitely it’s an illusion! How could it be possible that everything happened seemed like being in a video-game showing up with the property of a bunch chickens stuff! It’s impossible, it must be impossible. It’s absolutely an illusion!’

While he was talking to himself, he was laying on the bed, he closed first the eyes about to sleep. He believed if he slept and waking up, the world will go back to normal.

“Do you want to enter to sleep mode? Confirm/Cancel ”

“You’re such ****!” right at the moment he closed his eyes the annoying voice popped up once more from his brain. Frustrated he flipped over form the bed, he clenched in fist both hands and clutched his own head. He realized he was pressured into getting out of his mind.

“Never mind, I’m going to sleep, I don’t care about it! When I wake, up everything will gone. I don’t care anymore about it!” He first sat down for a while, helplessly, then he had to be resigned to lay down.

“Do you want to enter to sleep mode? Confirm/Cancel”

“Yes!” He said determinant without any other choice, no matter how much as long as he could sleep, tomorrow surely will be a great day.

“You will enter sleep mode in 5 seconds! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 0! ”

“Sleep mode activated successfully!”

At the last words he said the sleep mode was activated with success, he just barely heard and sank among the sleep. He felt losing every perception.

However if he was awake, he could do more , because at the moment he had more odd thing that was happening to him.

“Sleep mode: body recovering time become back to normal, 10 points. Player w.a.n.g Wei’s wound over the head is about to be mended! Life recovering!”

The ring on the hand moved slightly and become into a white sheen almost invisible to the naked eye that mended the tiny little wound on his head visible to the naked eye. It was reinstated. Less than one minute it was totally reinstated, there wasn’t even a scar.
