2nd day of the simulation, Day 200 within the simulation.
Outside of the Simulation… Beijing.
A man walked into a room holding a black suitcase, where computers and screens with technicians everywhere, which seemed to be observing some kind of fantasy world, while others were stuck onto their screens seemingly monitoring something. Some sort, of graph, diagram and other “things”.
“Sir, we’ve completed collecting data on Project Bioroid.”
The man which had just entered looked over at the shorter man, who had a bang going down his head, and spiky hair. The man spoke: “Good job, Vice Director Wang. I assume we can start trial tests soon enough?”
Wang bowed and replied: “Thank you Director Zac! And yes, we can start trial tests soon… We only need to obtain the top subjects from the simulation, and we have chosen quite a few. Here is the list.”
Wang handed the list over to Zac, and Zac looked towards 7 players. He pointed to them and said: “Move these players out of the main simulation room, have them wake up in the balcony where they can see the other survivors.”
Wang nodded and ordered: “Move players 4378, 4379, 4380, 4381, 4382, 4383 and 4384 to the observational deck above, make sure it’s guarded at all times. Also make sure to disable 4378, 4379, 4380, 4381, 4382, 4383 and 4384’s electrical execution functions. We don’t want them dying.”
Zac corrected Wang’s order: “You need not touch 4378 and 4379, I have tampered with those two myself already.”
Some men and woman inside the room nodded, and stood up ready to move when Zac continued: “Prepare a firing squad down at the podium where all the players are. Once they wake up, give 10-20 seconds for them to live, only because I want to see the other 7 suffer. I believe their anger from seeing all their fellow players die… Would help the experiment.”
The men and woman which stood up saluted, and left the room. Zac congratulated the vice director: “Good job, now we can finally achieve what the President has always wanted. The communist alliance across the New USSR, the People’s Republic of Korea, the People’s Republic of Japan, the People’s Republic of India and countless other communist states will remember you, and all of us as heroes. Today is the day we can celebrate as this technology is invented, and we ready forces to destroy capitalism once… And for all. No organisation will stand before us, not even the United Nations.”
Zac took out two glasses, and a wine bottle from his suitcase which was stuffed with countless other mysterious gadgets… And put the glasses on one of the tables which the technicians were working on. He then poured the wine carefully into the glasses and handed one over to Wang. “Cheers, Vice Director. Let us remember the day we start this process, with this magnificent bottle of Pinot Noir.”
Both of the men took up the glasses, and a “CLANK!” noise was made. They both drank the wine, tasting the fragrance and the exquisite taste of the vintage wine.
Inside the Simulation, 4th island: Qing Shui Shi (Clearwater Town)
The past few days had been quite peaceful and calm for me and Hailey. A black haired teen laid on his bed, with his eyes closed, yet surely awake. The teen opened his eyes, and saw a black haired girl, with crystal blue eyes sitting on his bed, who greeted him: “Good morning d-e-a-r~”
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
The teen wiped his eyes and asked sleepily: “What time is it now… Hailey?”
Hailey replied to him: “Uh… 8am? Come on, get up Jason! There’s lots of things we should do today!”
Jason muttered: “How about 5 minutes…?”
Hailey shook her head and said: “Jeez, you’re always over sleeping… Like always, even during our time as the top guild of this simulation…”
Jason smiled and replied: “But you were always the one to wake me up once you moved in right? Thanks to you I never got late again…”
Hailey laughed and said: “Well that’s true but… Jason needs to wake up by himself. What if I’m not here anymore? How would you wake up?”
Jason replied to Hailey: “You will always be here! Because I’ll always stick by you like glue no matter what, because I love you, Hailey.”
Jason leaned in and kissed Hailey, and after a brief kiss Hailey said: “I know you will… And I’ll always be next to you, no exceptions.”
Hailey held Jason’s hand and took him to their kitchen, where the most expensive cooking tools were all there. The quality of cooking tools in here, could even make the quality of a five star restaurant’s kitchen dim. Jason asked Hailey: “So uh… What’re we cooking for today?”
Hailey looked at Jason and then looked at the ceiling, and after finally thinking of an answer, she answered his question: “How about a classic english breakfast?”
Jason nodded and replied: “Yeah sure, I wanted to eat toast anyway.”
They both began cooking, sizzling bacon, frying eggs, toasting toast… And finally after cooking it, they ate what they cook.
Jason said after the meal: “Man… Homecooked food is the best!”
Hailey nodded and agreed: “Yeah, it’s better when you cook it yourself.”
Jason replied to Hailey: “But I would’ve never knew how to cook if a certain someone didn’t teach me.”
Hailey laughed and said: “Well… You would’ve known how to cook by yourself some day, seeing how much you love food.”
After a brief laugh, they left the kitchen. They both then went into their bedroom, and took out some different 8th island level clothing to avoid having a crowd crowd them. Jason chose a set of completely black shirt and pants, while Hailey took out a hoodie which had a mixture of white and yellow, beneath the hoodie she had a ., similar to her old outfit as well.
After putting his clothes on, Jason said: “We should do fine with this level of Armor, it’s from floor 8. In anycase, we can always put the other clothing in storage and use it whenever we need to.”
Hailey nodding her head she replied: “Yeah, I agree… Anyway it would get a lot of people crowding us if we had our original outfits on.”
Jason said: “Yeah, but I don’t really get why you’d go so far as to use a hoodie. It’s not really that necessary right…?”
Hailey sighed: “Unlike you, somehow they all remember my face and hairstyle…”
Jason replied smiling: “That’s because they all sigh at your beauty, Hailey.”
Hailey gave off a small laugh: “Comon now, that’s enough flirting from you.”
They both laughed, and Jason asked Hailey: “So where should we go today? We’ve been to pretty much everywhere.”
Hailey shrugged and replied: “Why don’t we go to the town square? Let’s see what kind of places can we go… We’ve oughta missed somewhere right…?”
Jason nodded, and took Hailey’s hand and they both walked towards the door.
Qing Shui Shi (Clearwater Town) Town Centre, Teleporting area. 4th Island
“It never ceases to amaze me how realistic they managed to make this place… I thought this place was made for punishment and torture…” Jason said.
Hailey replied: “Well… We can die in here, so it is punishment in a sense… Maybe they have some other objective…”
Jason nodded and said: “Well, whatever it is, it doesn’t concern us any bit. We’re just here doing our own thing… In any case I think this simulation has been a bliss for us, thanks to it we’ve been allowed to meet each other.”
Hailey smiled replied: “Yeah, I wouldn’t choose any other path either.”
Just as they were about to kiss, a young long autumn haired girl which looked like she was around 13 appeared. She screamed: “Someone help! Please!”
