Chapter 1：Eternal Cultivation (2/2)
”Hi,” Matt greeted as well.
”You just arrived right? So, I assume you haven't eaten anything yet. It's nearly 3 pm. Why don't you freshen up and we can go get some afternoon lunch in the cafeteria.”
Alex nodded and changed to a normal shirt and pants. He went to the bathroom attached to the room and cleaned himself. By the time he got out, the third man was already up.
”I'm sure you can do it next time. Just buy a pill if you can't.”
”I know, but those cost money. And I'm not really playing to make money.”
”Then you just gotta hope you breakthrough next time.”
The man finally saw Alex. ”Hey, you the new guy? Hi, I am Logan. What's up?”
”Hello, my name is Alex,” he replied too. Afterward, all of them went to the cafeteria to get some food. The 3 started talking about the same thing they were talking about in the room and it made Alex confused. He didn't know the context.
”What are you guys talking about exactly?” he asked.
”Eternal Cultivation,” Matt replied.
”Oh, the new movie? I saw posters of it on the streets.” Alex said with a face of understanding.
Matt, Eric, and Logan looked at him with a look of confusion. Logan then said, ”it's not a movie. It's the best VR game in existence. Don't you know about it?” he asked.
”A VR game? I didn't know about that. I only heard about the name today.” Alex said.
”It's already been out for a month and is already the most played game of all time. How come you've never heard of it?” Matt was surprised.
”Oh, that's probably because they don't have any billboards and posters near the farm. And I don't really get to be on the internet since I have to help my father with the work.” Alex said.
”Well, you can play now. You really must experience it.” Eric said.
”Is that so? but I don't have a VR helmet or money to buy one.” Alex said.
”Don't worry about that, Eric here had got an old one, you can use that,” Matt said.
”If that is so, then I will try it.”
Alex and the 3 walked back to the room and Eric handed him the old helmet that he was keeping in the closet. Now that he looked at it, 3 of the 4 beds all had VR helmets in them.
”They must've been playing before I came,” Alex mumbled a little.
”Just plug it in the socket there and you can start playing. Be sure to log out before 7 or you will miss dinner.” Saying that Matt and the rest got into their beds and put on their helmets. After that, they went asleep.
Soon a light started shinning from inside the helmet and he finally heard something.
