FALLEN WORLDVIEW
Xue Yiran arrived home from school. Opening the door, she was greeted with a big hug as she entered the house.
"Sister." Xue Haoran shouted and cling tightly to Xue Yiran.
"Hoaran, you're are already back from school." The closing hour for kindergarten is quite short. Therefore, Xue Haoran had been at home for a while.
"Hmmm." Xue Haoran nodded. "Today, I shared the cookies sister made to my classmate and they all like it." Xue Haoran told Xue Yiran all what happened.
When his classmates ate the cookies his sister made, they kept praising how delicious it was, and even asked him to bring more of it tomorrow.
"Let's go inside. Sister will make another type of cookies for you tomorrow. So tell me, what did you learn in school today." Xue Yiran led the little guy inside and chatted along.
Xue Yiran played with the little guy for the whole evening after eating.
After that, Xue Haoran went to his play room to play with some of his toys, while Xue Yiran use that moment to logged into the Star virtual net.
Xue Yiran appeared from where she previously log out from, which was the shop counter.
Mike was attending to the next customer when Xue Yiran appeared beside him out of thin air; garnering a gasp from the people still on the line.
"Wow, he's so handsome. Much better in person than the picture on the forum."
"I'm really happy I came at this time. I get to see the handsome guy everyone's been talking about"
"Did you take his picture?"
"Trust me on that."
Mike was not affected by Xue Yiran instant appearance. "You're back," He said.
"Eh." Xue Yiran nodded.
"You go inside and rest. Leave the work load to me."
Xue Yiran didn't refuse Mike and walked up to the next floor meant for shop owner to stay.
The little robot occupied by Susu instantly appeared.
[Host, should I show you how much we've earned so far?]
"Hmm." Xue Yiran let him. It has just been a day since the store has been opened, so Xue Yiran wasn't expecting a huge amount.
However, when her eyes saw the countless zeros on the screen, Xue Yiran was stunned.
Wait a minute, how many zeros are there? One, two, three… Damn, nine. Is her dream of becoming a wealthy woman coming true.
It's just a day of opening yet the store had already acquired such a huge turn over.
Xue Yiran mood was good when she saw the lot of money in the virtual account.
Sensing Xue Yiran happy mood, Susu said, [Host, I've gained a lot of information about this Z zone. Although, I'm not able to know more about the other zones due to my low energy but I'm still glad that I could be of help.]
The meaning behind those words were 'my energy is still low. If you can get me some energy core, I'll be able to do more'.
Xue Yiran just laughed at the little guy. "I'll buy you some beast core tomorrow."
Susu was happy and instantly said, [Host, you don't need to spend money to buy me energy core. I found a place where you could get the beast core for free without spending any dime.]
"Really! Where?" Xue Yiran was surprised that there were places you could get a beast core for free in this virtual net.
[I will send you the location.]
When Xue Yiran finally arrived at the location Susu gave her, she found that this was a competition arena.
Susu wasn't wrong about the beast core being free. Of course, that is if you're able to emerge as the victor in the whole competition.
[Host, this is it. You just have to sign in to get the core.]
Get the core your head.
A man approaches and asked Xue Yiran, "Do you also want to join in the competition, young man?"
"No." Xue Yiran who was being regarded as a 'young man' shook her head. "I'm only here to take a look." Xue Yiran replied and then turned around; leaving the area.
[Host, why did you say that you weren't there to register? We could have gotten a beast core for me.]
"You should look at your master state first before speaking. With my combat E and F mental strength, do you think I'll be able to fight those people and get the beast core?" Xue Yiran reason with the dumb system.
Finally realizing something, Susu couldn't find a word to say.
"I'm not the previous me who could kill in an instant. Right now, your master is as weak as not able to kill a chicken." Xue Yiran said. "Hum, well… Chicken is considered not to have a grade in this world so your master can still kill a chicken. Anyway, I'm not the same as I was before." Xue Yiran didn't want to reminisce about whether she could, or not kill a chicken with her present strength, and continued, "My top priority now is to earn money, and buy some beast core to raise my strength till the time I'm able to go outside the safety border to kill some beasts, and get more beasts core. We can then go on an adventure in the beast world. I mean... what am I even talking about?"
[I understand host.] Susu quickly said. [We should raise our strength first before going to find our own free beast core outside the safety border.]
"You can as well say that." Xue Yiran agreed.
[I got it. Susu will go back to the store and make more snacks to sell.]
"Uhh, okay." But the system which should be gone instantly appeared again.
[So host, since you're free, why don't I show you around the Z zone?]
"I thought you said you were going back to the store." Xue Yiran stare at the robotic figure that suddenly appeared in front of her.
[Oh, I forgot to mention this to host. After the upgrade, I found out that I could multitask.]
"Then show me around the Z zone then." Xue Yiran didn't want to bother asking Susu about its new function.
The system had been weird ever since it was installed into her body.
When Susu gain a little bit of intelligent back then, Xue Yiran asked from others who were also injected with the weird supplement whether their system gain it own dependence.
However, their reply was that the system couldn't gain intelligence.
Thinking that she would be subjected to an experiment table as a lab test, Xue Yiran shut her mouth and never spoke if it.
Now thinking of it, Susu is indeed quite weird.
Xue Yiran walked through the lowest zone in the virtual net. The population was several times much than when Xue Yiran first arrived.
Susu told her that this occurrence was due to their store. When several people from the upper zone heard of the store 'Creamery Creamer', they came down to the Z zone to take a look, which was the reason for the current bustling.
Some people who recognize Xue Yiran from the forum as the store worker, pointed at him and took his picture.
Xue Yiran didn't mind and let them. As long as they didn't come to trouble her.
Therefore, Xue Yiran spend the whole evening walking down the Z zone before logging out.
Xue Yiran went down to the kitchen and prepared dinner. Mike also logged out from the virtual net and visited the two children, also enjoying dinner with them before leaving.
After tucking Xue Haoran into his bed, Xue Yiran resumed back to the study room to work on the assignment given to her at school today.
It was about identification of the fierce beast. Xue Yiran couldn't identify them all but Susu was there to help her.
"You're quite a genius, Susu." Xue Yiran didn't hold back with her praise.
Blushing, Susu covered his non-existent face and said coyly [Thank you host.]
Xue Yiran finished with her homework and went back to bed.
~Geordon Planet~
A young man walked in and asked, "Alice, where's boss?"
"In the Star virtual net." The girl Alice, answered the young man.
The young man after hearing Alice word, was stunned and thought: When has boss started visiting the virtual net.
"I'll wait a while then." The man found a seat and sat while waiting.
After an hour, the expected door open and a tall straight man walked out of the opened door.
The man was wearing a normal casual dress. On his upper body is a black tight-fitting T-shirt, black casual pants and a pair of black military boots.
The casual clothing the man wore couldn't cover the strong aura he unintentionally exude.
The man face was cold and beautiful. The firm muscle under his T-shirt revealed his exuberant strength and added a strange touch of sexiness to his appearance.
"Boss." Aiden got to his feet when he saw the man who walked out.
"Hmmm." The man glanced at Aiden before walking back to his office, and Aiden quietly followed after him.
The man opened the door to his office and sat on the seat designated to him. "Speak." The man thick voice rang out.
"Hum… it's like this. General Lynn called and informed that the crown prince would love to have a beast of the SSS grade so…" Aiden trailed off and couldn't finish his sentence.
"So he asked us to go over the safety border to help him tame the beast." The man completed the sentence.
Aiden lowered his head and muttered lowly, "Yes."
*Hehe* The man low chuckle rang out. Aiden who was standing suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"I… I'm sorry. I'll go and refused him immediately." Aiden trembled.
"When next you come to me with this kind of stuff, I'll transferred you to the front line to fend off the beast tide immediately." The man lowly threatened.
"Yes, boss!" Aiden shouted with his might and scurried out of the office with perspiration on his face. "Damm." Aiden heaved a sigh of relief after shutting the door. "I almost thought I would loose my life in there. That old hag Lynn. Can't he see that the boss is on vacation. SSS class beast." Aiden scoffed. "That foolish prince can sure dream high. Even those of high caliber don't dare dream of having SSS contract beast as pet. It's just a pity that I'm the one squeeze in between this trouble. Your luck is so bad Aiden. Just why do I have to pick that call. I should have left it to Liam that guy. I'm such a fool." Aiden scolded himself while walking.
Ethan didn't care how his subordinate would handle the situation, and got up leaving for the room he previously left.
Ethan enter the room and lied back into the pod, logging into the Star virtual net world.
In the Z zone, a silhouette hundred percent similar to Ethan appeared in the surrounding street.
Ethan walked forward towards the location of the newly 'Creamery Creamer' store.
There were thousands of people on the waiting line, so Ethan stood at the back of the line.
If his subordinate were to see this, their eyes would have popped out of their socket.
Who could have thought that one day, the fearsome general in the Geordon empire would also queue one day to buy something.
"Three box of spicy chicken with strawberry ice cream please." Ethan state his order when it was his turn.
"Okay." The order was quickly proceed. "Here's your spicy chicken and strawberry ice cream. That's a total of hundred coins." Ethan paid and happily collect his order with a smile on his face.
And he's even smiling. The subordinates fell their selves been hit with arrow in the heart.
The perfect worldview they had of their boss had just fallen.
