This one...

And this...

I think I'll get this one too...

After I was satisfied with the item I have, I check out my shopping cart and transfer the money.

Just in case, I checked James' bank account to see how much money is available.

There's not much left but It should be enough for him as long as he didn't spend money lavishly.

Sigh*

I don't want to spend time on Hero. It definitely can make me a lot of money if I really tried but...

There's no fun in it, are they?

A simple idling and clicking game.

Maybe I should make another game?

But what game should I make?

While I was in a deep trance, thinking of the game that I should make, Father was at the door ringing the doorbell.

Ding-Dong*

It was sounded once and I was still sitting with my eyes closed and a frown.

Ding-Dong*

The second time...

The third time...

Ah! I got it, interactive games!

Interactive games are always interesting!

It's nostalgic to hear this term as the game with this genre in 2034 was booming like crazy, due to one single game has thousands of possibilities of endings and almost millions of choices that you make matter.

Of course, right now no one should be able to make games with millions of possible endings, not with the current method of coding.

On second thought, it's not impossible but just time consuming as they actually need to commit to creating those millions of possibilities.

In 2034 to make that kind of game, they relied on a game development engine, similar to unity. A platform to allow people to make games without actually know how to code.

But instead of Unity, this one is called StoryEngine. That engine allows you to create story-based games and generate games that have millions of endings.

So, to make the game I have to-

Bam*

"Oi Stupid Andy! Are you there?!"

"How long you're planning to ignore the doorbell!"

Suddenly, I heard Mervin yelling outside. I then quickly went to open the door, seeing Father and Mervin was already outside I was dumbstruck.

"...How long you guys have been waiting?"

"Twenty minutes. If not that I returned together with Father, he'll have to wait for two hours outside, for me to knock your head awake!"

Bam*

Without holding back, Mervin hit my head with his fist.

Ouch... Well, I deserved it.

"What are you standing there for. We're going outside to eat."

Eat outside?

"Oh, Okay coming."

I went to close the computer and the lights before getting on Father's motorcycle to wherever we'll be eating.

"Where are we going?"

"I don't know, what do you guys want to eat?"

Where... I don't really know...

Tanjung Balai is quite small, there's barely a place to go. I've stayed here for more than twenty years already.

I have already tried every food that existed in this small island.

Since I don't know what I want to eat, I then put the blame on Mervin to choose as there's no food that I particularly wanted to eat or excited to try for.

"Brother, what do you want to eat?"

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"...You choose."

"It's fine, I'm not a picky eater, so Brother should choose."

"Are you saying I am a picky eater?"

Hearing the question, I kept quiet, waiting for the 'storm' to pass by.

"How about we go to visit the night market?"

Great idea. There are a lot of varieties of food stalls at the night market.

Since there's nowhere else to go, Mervin and I agreed to go there and eat.

With destination decided, Father no longer drives at a very slow speed. While I said that, his driving speed was still moderate, not too fast and not too slow.

Arriving at the night market, we're immediately greeted with people, walking in and out of the alleys.

Tomorrow is the start of the Chinese new year. A lot of people are going to celebrate it, including us. Which is why the main reason this place is packed with people.

People came here to relax, drink beer, enjoy food chat with each other.

Walking into the night market, we try to find an empty seat available.

Sadly, the place was too full, even when we walked to the end of the night market, we can't find a single seat that was empty.

Having no choice, we could only buy the foods we wanted and take them home to eat.

Well, eating at this place wasn't that nice anyway. It is hot and crowded with people.

People are smoking, and It's noisy as well.

"Alright. If you guys saw anything that you want to eat just tell me, okay?"

After Father said that we resume our walking, squeezing ourselves into the crowd while looking at the food we wanted to buy.

After we walked out of the night market, we suddenly have a lot of food in our hands.

I know that today we're supposed to have a feast but looking at how much food we're carrying...

There's no way we could finish them!

Since there's so much food already, we agreed to quickly go back home.

Most of the food we bought is best to enjoy instantly.

Arriving at home, we feast on the food we bought and ate as much as we can.

As tomorrow there's no school and Mervin and Dad also not working. Just for tonight, since there's no need for us to wake up in the morning anymore.

Three of us sat in the living room, open television, and watch a random movie that we found together.

-----

The next morning arrived.

It was a nice sleep.

I look at the clock on the wall, it's already 11 A.M.

Mervin is still asleep though...

Holiday...

Exiting from my bedroom, I wash my face and brush my teeth. When I got to the living room I saw the father was already awake and is currently watching television.

"Oh, you have woke up. I've bought some food and also heated the last night leftover."

"Okay~"

Seeing the assorted food available on the table awed. We usually only eat a little in the morning.

The current scene is unimaginable. This didn't even happen in my previous life at all.

This is probably the best breakfast I've eaten in this life for now.

While I was eating, I was remembered last night.

The movie was terrible. Father and Mervin enjoyed them though.

It was indeed funny but the action and graphics were awful...

This reminded me that I returned to the past.

What should I do after I finish eating?

Should I watch Television again?

During Chinese new year, the family was supposed to hang out after all.

I took a peek on what Father was watching right now.

It's super old Chinese drama...

What should I do? I can't go and play the computer downstairs on my own.

"Hey, Dad? After Mervin is awake, should we go jogging? You know, exercise a bit?"

That idea suddenly popped inside my head.

This idea not only good for Father, but they're also good for me and Mervin.

Right! Exercise together! For a healthy body!

"Jogging?"

"Yes. You should exercise. I learned from school that jogging could increase your stamina that way you won't get tired easily. There are also other benefits of jogging too."

"I don't know... if you insist on it, sure... we'll waif for Mervin."

A while later... Mervin woke up.

I told the same thing I told the father to Mervin.

Unlike Father, Mervin responded excitedly. I didn't know about this previously but does Mervin like exercising this much?

All I know is that both of them are workaholic, they preferred to work than sitting still doing nothing.

Changing into proper clothes, three of us went out jogging.

We planned to jog our way to the Coastal Area which was two kilometers away from our house.

That much distance is enough to make us sweat.

Father who barely exercise, struggled to keep along with me, and Mervin who has a healthy and young body.

After jogging for about ten minutes, he was breathing heavily and panting. As for me and Mervin, who walk or run every morning, we've barely felt anything yet in the first ten minutes.

"Both of you are okay?"

Lee asked while he's short of breathe, squatting down on the floor and wiping his sweats.

Seeing that we barely sweat, Lee felt old.

As we rested and rehydrated ourselves with water bottles that we brought with us, we then continue our jogging.

This time, Mervin and I try to be slow as we could so that Father could keep up with us.

While Jogging we enjoyed ourselves as much as we could, appreciate the weather and nature.

As we arrived in the coastal area, we could finally hear the sound of sea waves, hitting the shores.

Gradually, as we continue to get further, we came to a stop, as Father really can't continue anymore.

We walk at a slow pace, back to our house.

By the time we arrived home, it's still 1 P.M only.

We indeed spend a few hours outside but it's not enough to pass the whole day.

In the end, we spend the rest of our time watching television together for the rest of the day, only when it's dinner one of us went out to find food.

After eat, sleep.

This is definitely hell for a workaholic.

-----

The next morning arrived.

Today, everyone got up early than usual.

We plan to jog at 5 A.M in the morning to see the sunrise at the Coastal Area.

The same routine as yesterday, we jog our way to Coastal Area but today the place has fewer people compared to yesterday as it's still early.

More importantly, today we're fast enough and could see the beautiful scenery of sunrise when we reach the coastal area.

Upon reaching Coastal Area, we stopped jogging as father was probably suffering some muscle aches from yesterday jogging.

In fact, Father is slower than yesterday.

On the third day, Lee's stamina was getting better, his complexion after a jog wasn't that worse compared to before.

The time he needs to rest has also decreased.

On the fourth day, Lee could finally arrive in Coastal Area without resting on the midway. This proves his stamina was increased substantially due to jogging.

Then finally the fifth day, I finally have something to do after Jogging with Lee and Mervin.

Come to think of it, this was the first time I spend my Chinese New Year with someone other than Mervin and Lee.

In my last life, I avoid Micheal when it's Chinese New Year since he's also busy during that time.

I spend my Chinese New year holiday by asking my Chinese new year allowance from my father and spend them on Internet Cafe.

The entire two weeks' holiday, I spend it on an internet cafe playing computer games.

Even during the time when I'm working as a Game Developer, I don't have anyone that I'm relatively close with. So, I also spend my Chinese New Year at home.

Ding-Dong*

It looks like, Micheal has arrived.

"Coming!"
