In the late afternoon at 4.30 pm, Shi Xieren jogging followed the Zhangjing River for an hour. Even though the doctor diagnosed him that he could not run anymore, it didn't mean he could not run.
The doctor meant that he could not run like before, the running competition. He too already tried to run, but the result was much worse than before. He could not run as fast as before anymore. Knowing this, he could only accept the reality in the front of him that he could not become the fastest anymore.
Even though he could not run as before, but he still did jogging the morning and late the afternoon like now. It was a habit for him to run.
At the age of 8 years old, he started the running in the school also became the fastest in his grade in the elementary. At the age of 10 years, the coach of his elementary school invited him to attend the competition.
At first, he didn't want to, he just wanted to focus on his study because of family condition was poor. He wanted to focus study and obtained the scholarship from the school to ease his mother's burden.
But the coach said if he could attain the champion of the competition not only he could get the scholarship but also the prize money. The school only took the trophy, and the rest was given to him.
Hearing this, he didn't immediately accept the offer from the coach. He asked his mother first before he gave the answer to the coach. Maybe because of grown-up without a father and with the poor condition of his family, he matured early than the normal kid in his age.
He already thought about his mother, who labored to fulfill her responsibilities as his mother. She worked from the early morning till the late night only for him, the expenses for his school and the daily needs of their family. So he wanted to help his mother to ease the burden his mother borne.
At home, he didn't consult his mother he only said to his mother that the coach invited to attend the running competition. He remembered his mother only smiled with her loving smile.
The next day, he started to focus on running. But in two years, the first year and the second year of his running career, he didn't win any competition until his mother died because she was too exhausted for working non-stop.
This was the moment his mother passed her last wish also it became his goal from the moment his mother let it out of her mouth.
Finally, in that year he became the champion of the running competition for his school. He became the fastest runner in the Zhoushan but failed became the fastest in the province. The next he became the fastest the fastest in the Zhejiang Province for the junior high competition.
And the last year in junior high, he became the fastest in China for the junior high competition. He began fulfilling his mother last wish to become the fastest in the world.
In senior high school, he moved from Changbai Island, Zhoushan to the Jinshan, Shanghai. The school here was better than in the Zhousan. Also, he got a scholarship because of his achievement in the running competition between school.
In the first year of senior high school, he managed to become the fastest in China again for the senior high competition. From the 3 people that represented his country, China, he was selected as one of representative for China for the competition Under18 in Asia.
That year he managed to carve his name in Asia as the fastest runner also breaking the previous record. That time, different from the other previous champion, he didn't smile or laugh to celebrate his achievement; he was crying that made the reporter, friend, coach and the spectators confused.
When the reporter interviewed him, he answered honestly why he was crying.
He said," This was the first step for fulfilling his mother last wish to become the fastest in the world,"
The reporter confused by his answer and asked again.
"Then you should be happy, you should proud that you approaching your goal to become the fastest in the world and your mother last wish. Why would you crying?"
Hearing this question, his tears began flowing from his eyes that made the reporter scared that he just made the champion crying again.
Shi Xieren answered while trying to smile when he was answering, "I was crying because I am sad that my mother could not be witnessing this moment, I am sad that later even I become the fastest in the world my mother could not witnessing it,"
This was the first time that the atmosphere to celebrate the champion with low-spirited and sad. Even the reporter also affected by Shi Xieren answer, the female reporter crying too after heard the answer.
After this interview, his name became famous. He got a title "The Filial Runner", and the world encouraging and consoling him through the email, social media like facebook, etc, even the Chinese citizens sent him a mountain of letters for him when he went back to China.
One month before he reached the age of 17 years, he attended the world running competition Under18. Another Legend created by him, He became the fastest again by breaking the previous record. Another uproar, though this time he didn't cry like before.

When he was interviewed, one of the reporters teasing him by asked, "You didn't cry again?"
This time he answered with a smile, "No, I wanted to show to my mother that I live happily here,"
But he still didn't fulfill his mother's last wish became the fastest in the world. This was just a competition for Under18. His journey was still a long way to go. That was what he thought.
Three months later, when he jogging in the morning, he saw a female with sexy attire tried to across the road but there was a sports car with high speed swayed to the right and left. He guessed the driver was drunk, the female was dazed while crossed the road while the car didn't slow down.
Looking at the even that unfold in the front, he could not just look at the female got hit by the sports car. With his high speed as a runner, he tried to save the female.
He managed to save the female, but his alas his feet got hit by the sports car. This was an incident that destroyed his world. After the accident, he locked himself in his room without food and drink. Because he was an athlete, there was no problem for him for seven days without food and drink.
Until his best friend introduced the virtual reality game, the second game of virtual reality, Universe Online. From that day, he stopped school and focused to become the fastest in the world in the Virtual World. His life goal changed from became the fastest in the World to become the fastest in the Virtual World.
He jogs while reminiscing about his past.
Finished his daily jog he showered to clean up his sweat after a jog. Exited the bathroom, he looked at the clock, it's 5.22 pm. Tao Feng said tonight, the Tribe Online developer will start to introduce the game tonight on the official website.
He opened his computer he wanted to check when the update released. There was an announcement on the website also, a countdown to the game launching. The announcement was about the game, they will explain one by one about the game until the day game launching. So, there will five explanations because it was five days before the game launching.
He decided to get the dinner first. He went to the food stall near his place. The food stall selling various kinds of foods but he chose the simple fried rice here, the level 10 fried rice. What the level meant? The level indicated the level of spiciness of the fried rice. Level 10 was the highest level, he loved the spicy food, every time he ate here he will order the level 10 fried rice.
Finished the dinner, he went back. Now, he opened the computer and watch an old movie like transformer, Avenger, and others old movies.
Finished one movie, he checked the official website for Tribe Online. There was no update, he watched another movie. Finished one move, he checked again the official website. This time the new update was there. He didn't check the update instead he checked the comment below. The update was only 10 minutes ago, but there were many comments there, 12,265,983 comments. This was the China Tribe Online official website.
Only scrolled down for a while, he knew why there were many comments just in 10 minutes. Then he looked at the update.
It was about class and skill. There were 12 classes, Warrior, Knight, Archer, Assassin, Hunter, Summoner, Potion Master, Poison Master, Smith Master, Cooking Master, Builder Master, and Merchant.
There were new classes, different from the Universe Online like Hunter, Poison Master, Cooking Master, Builder Master, and Merchant.
One person only could choose 1 class, except you want to buy more than one capsule to play many classes or if you wanted to change class, you could delete your current account then create the new one. So, the conclusion was one class for one capsule.
The next was the skill. This was the one that made many peoples leave 12 million comments in 10 minutes. Why? Because there was no active skill, passive skills only, also there was no magic but there was something similar to magic, though the TO developer didn't inform what it was.
No active skill, no magic. Because of this, many of the old players complained. They complained about this, if there was no magic, basically it was the same as the fight in the real world, fight with brute force. Though they still didn't know what the passive skill was, many complained while TO developer just ignored them without responding.
What about Shi Xieren? He didn't care at all. But there were pros and cons for him if there was no active skill and magic. It meant he could not use skill or magic to enhance his speed anymore but it also a good thing for him. In the Universe Online, he always getting killed by magic or magic will limit his movement space.
The pros were more than the cons, so this was a good thing for him. He could run even without worry about getting killed by those unknown magic.
