The room Jie created was huge. He led the other three down stairs and left the three girls outside. In front of them was an area as big as a soccer field. They were amazed by it. Jie said with pride, “I didn’t know that you can change the room, but after figuring it out, you just have to focus and imagine on where you want to change while holding the room’s handle outside. God will also amend any imperfection you have. Just like this training ground.”
This training ground was separated into a few areas. There’s a target practice field, a long distance running field, an obstacle running field, and a close combat platform.
“Starting today, everyday from 8am to 12pm, 1pm to 6pm, and 7pm to 12am. We will train non-stop. We won’t see any results on our body with just these few days so we will start with shooting and close combat. You will also have to run and test your limits. Once you know your limits you can plan ahead in the movies. Anyway, there is a lot of training we have to do.”
Jie gave everyone a description of the purposes of each training area. Long distance running and obstacle running was obvious. Close combat was necessary, shooting was an important factor in sci-fi movies. Everyone agreed to his plans.
Zheng asked, “What about guns? Do we go exchange them for training? Or are we using your desert eagle?”
“Didn’t I say you can create anything in your room? It’s just that you can’t take many of these things out of the room. Go take a look at that storehouse. I exchanged a magazine on guns, then created them according to the descriptions. You can also test the power of sci-fi weapons. Even though they are expensive, you should probably exchange for one when you have the points.”
Xiaoyi exclaimed then ran toward the target practice field. Lan sighed. “You probably can’t create magical weapons in this room, right?”
Jie nodded. “No. I kept trying but couldn’t create them. God probably put a restraint on this.”
Lan touched her forehead. “The most difficult movies are probably the supernatural ones. God wouldn’t let us get familiar with this type of weapon to increase their difficulty. Anyway, if I have the points I will probably only get one sci-fi weapon and spend the rest on magical weapons. That’s what I am planning.”
Zheng and Jie nodded. Especially Zheng, that 1500 points didn’t go to waste.
Jie spent the rest of the afternoon teaching them how to use guns. Of course, other than testing out sci-fi guns for fun, they put their focus on normal guns, especially on their shooting accuracy. Lan and Xiaoyi spent the whole time doing target practice.
Jie led Zheng to the combat platform. Jie only spent 100 points on his gun and the rest enhancing himself. He probably was also in the army back in the real world. He’s much more experienced than Zheng in close combat. It only took a while for him to knock down Zheng.
Jie shook his head. “Not enough. Your speed and strength are there but you can’t keep calm. You have much more strength than before so you can’t control the punches you throw. Learn how to control your speed and power the first few days. Then you will have to learn to use your abilities. We will depend on you for the next movie.”
Zheng nodded. He definitely felt he couldn’t control his strength, and he’s rather curious on his Qi. Was it as amazing as the novels described it? The punches he received from Jie could knock a normal person out, but it was only painful at first then he felt a warm sensation moving through his body and the pain dissipated.
The four of them had dinner at Jie’s room. Then Zheng brought Lori back. On the way back, he was still thinking of the training. He figured out the function of Qi. Other than lessening pain, when he spread it through his body, his speed and strength would double. That was the only time he beat Jie in combat. Jie couldn’t even do anything against that kind of power. But then he could barely move for ten minutes. Seemed like this could only be used in danger.
Zheng still hadn’t figured out how to use the blood energy yet. Since it’s on the same rank as Qi, it shouldn’t be too weak.
“Ahem!”
It woke Zheng up from his thoughts. Lori was standing in front of him with a red face. She seemed mad at him. “You’re walking with me and your mind is elsewhere. Are you regretting you didn’t create another beautiful woman when you saw those two women? I am just a teen, mature women are more attractive, is that what you’re thinking?”
He held onto her hands and smiled. “I am thinking about this afternoon’s training. I will tell you everything if you want to know. Be confident with yourself. You know there were almost a hundred guys trying to date you in school. And you know I’ve always liked you, how could I have think about someone else?”
She looked at him for a while, then smiled. “Then you will tell me in a bit how you spent these years. You just said you will tell me everything right?”
Zheng was startled then he forced a smile.

‘Good people should be blessed. But am I still a good person?’
Zheng knew he’s not a good person. Lori’s death was too much of a shock to him, he became corrupted. Living in a black and white world, games, bars, one night stands, drugs…
He couldn’t imagine how she would react when she learned of it. She was so pure, flawless as a crystal. It reflected his filth.
Zheng had prepared for the worst. He sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, then prepared to tell her. Lori stood up. “That’s it. Stop. Look at your face, I can guess what you’ve been through. I don’t want to hear it. It will just make me mad.”
Then she put her head close to his. “Pervert. Listen carefully. I am back so you will forget all the mess from now on. Those women or other girls. Forget all this. There’s only Lori, the only one. Understand?”
She started crying as she said. “I’m sorry. So sorry. I didn’t keep our promise. To be together till our hair turns silver. To think about our childhood memories like in the songs. I can forget about you and my memories, but I can’t forget this promise. You’re probably so sad these years. I was selfish to leave you alone. I’m sorry.”
Zheng embraced her without a word. All that’s left in the room was her cries. But they know after all the sadness came out, what they have left is hope. The past was over and their future has infinite possibilities and hope.
Times always goes so fast when you’re happiest. Zheng spent the days training, then looking through the items God had; and his nights watching horror movies with Lori. Yes, horror movies. He found out he could exchange any movie from God. As someone that had to survive through horror movies, it was more important than anything to be familiar with the plots.
This lasted for nine days. Today was the last day they were to stay in this place. They decided to take a rest and wait until the evening when they would be transported to the next movie. But before that, they have one last chance to finish preparation.
Eleven AM. Zheng’s still in bed chatting with Lori.
“Then are you going today?”
Zheng felt a heavy weight. He didn’t know what was next. Perhaps a virus, or monsters, or aliens. Once he’s in there, survival is not guaranteed. So he didn’t answer her. Just held her tight.
“Our promise… to be together until our hair turns silver, to think about our childhood, you have to tell me stories, we have to travel in the real world, to watch auroras, to see the statues in Easter Island… so many promises. Tell me you will come back, and finish these promises with me.”
Lori raised her head and looked at Zheng’s eyes until he nodded.
“Love is like a sand castle. You put it together bit by bit, and have to prevent it from getting washed away. It’s difficult and tiring but when you finish it, you will see how beautiful it is. It’s worth spending so much to protect it.”
He hadn’t heard this for ten years. She always liked to say this, and then looked at him with expectation. He never paid much attention it it back then, but when he heard it again after ten years, he was moved.
“Then… please finish the castle. This time we will keep our promise together.”
Zheng closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, he was determined. He will live no matter what.
“That’s basically it. Three grenades each person, one hemostatic spray, one oral antidote, one bandage, and an amulet. Thanks to Zheng. These cost 100 points. We wouldn’t have the points to exchange for them.”
Zheng looked at his points with a bitter smile, he only had 276 points left, down from 6502. But then he looked at all the support items in his ring and felt better.
Jie packed his stuff then put them in his pockets. “Even though it’s only a few days but you’ve trained everything you should. Just remember one point: Everything can happen in movies, so you must be cautious. And try to help others if possible, but if they affect your safety, kill them.”
Lan and Xiaoyi hesitated, but Zheng nodded. “How are we going to the next movie? Do we just disappear suddenly?”
Jie shook his head. “No. When it’s time, there will be twenty beams. You just have to stand in one.”
They sat on the floor in the platform as they talked. Lori and the other two women didn’t come out to see the go. Perhaps women were all the same when they had to see their lovers go.
After twenty minutes, God became brighter and brighter. Then it shot twenty beams to the ground. A voice sounded inside their head.
“Enter the beam in thirty seconds. Target locked. Transportation to Alien starts.”[1]
