On March 22nd at 8:00 p.m., merely two days after the launch of Star Cloud 1.0 OS, Xing Hai Technologies released another software product, drawing attention from across the country and evoking a tremor throughout the globe.
Presiding over the launch at an indoor venue that could accommodate up to a thousand people, Chen Jin remotely controlled his avatar robot and introduced the world to Work Assistant 1.0.
"Our 8,324 top veteran programmers from within our country have ensured that every single line of code generated by Work Assistant will be equivalent to that written by virtuoso programmers…
"Once you are skilled in using Work Assistant, you will soon be coding on par with master coding talent!...
"It allows normal programmers to master many skills while specializing in only one. Programmers who only know Java can obtain a module of C++ code while not being fluent in C++ themselves. Back-end programmers can realize complex front-end interfacing…
"It can transform Android and IOS code into HTML5 and vice versa. It allows Java and C++ code to compile with each other, and it has certain transcoding and code translation functions."
Of course, these latter functions were yet to be able to transform the whole application layer, but they were working for simple logical algorithms.
Finally, Chen Jin described the product's pricing. Work Assistant would be provided in the form of computing power in exchange for a subscription fee. Every portion of computing power rated at 100 million times per second would be sold at 500 dollars.
Junior programmers could basically suffice with a single portion. This would improve their productivity by a factor of 1.5 to 2.5. Intermediate programmers could settle with 10 portions, boosting productivity by 3 to 5 times. Senior programmers could purchase at most 100 portions, improving their overall work efficiency by 6 to 10 times.
As for all 8,000 elite programmers who participated in Work Assistant's beta test, Work Assistant would always be free of charge for them without any limitations on computing power.
The launching of Work Assistant 1.0 caused an uproar within the programmer community. At last November's 7th World Internet Conference, Chen Jin had given a speech titled "How to Solve the Bald Crisis," and he had described Work Assistant, the programmers with a deeper understanding of programming had expressed their disbelief. They had thought that his thinking was sound but that he was vastly underestimating the difficulties in actualizing a working product.
In just a few months, however, the legendary Work Assistant was formally announced with great fanfare as the gospel for programmers. The so-called "bald crisis" might really be lifted, at least for the programmer community.
With this evening's announcement, however, programmers did have something to say about the product's pricing strategy. Many began voicing their dissatisfaction during the live broadcast of the press conference.
"How disgusting! Why must they foist limitations on such a good product, just like what Baidu did to their download speed? And the pricing is so damn high."
"I think I'd be considered an intermediate programmer. If I were to use this tool comfortably, will that cost me 5,000 dollars a month, which is one-fifth of my salary?"
"Too expensive! The most expensive software in history! Even the genuine Windows OS was only 880 dollars, and that was a one-time payment."
"Chen Jin explained that this is to prevent turmoil within the programming industry. If our work efficiency were to improve by 5-fold or even 10-fold, what would happen to the junior programmers? They'll all have to go home and plough the fields! The programming industry won't be lacking people for several consecutive years, and this will kill new talent in the field!"
"Okay, we can't rely on the conscience of capitalists. Only a higher cost will dispel their urge to lay off employees."
"If senior programmers want to utilize the entirety of Work Assistant, they'll need to purchase 100 portions of computing power, right? And that would be 50 thousand dollars per month? But programmers of this level can upload quality coding resources to Work Assistant's servers in exchange for contribution points. I heard that for each point they earn, they can use the tool for free without speed limitations for a day. A total of 100 points would mean they would get to use it for free for a hundred days. It would be like they're quenching thirst with poison. Xing Hai Technologies is getting better at their own games."
"Oh? Fifty grand and I can use Work Assistant for free without speed limitations?" At least one veteran programmer with more than a decade of experience thought the price reasonable and would give it a try.
...
The press conference now entered its second half, although typically after the announcement, it would have ended, but it didn't. In fact, the "real" conference had just begun.
To promote Xing Hai Technologies' Star Cloud OS, Chen Jin announced another few key bombshells!
"I believe that all of you here are aware of Google's overbearing behavior. With patent fees of 10 dollars for every mobile phone, plus taxes, the cost for each mobile device in the future will rise by at least 100 dollars. Not only that, but their tactics will also effectively grind down our local phone manufacturer's last speck of profit, and consumers will spend vastly more for their devices."
"A hundred dollars isn't that much, but I would like to ask everyone, Are you willing to spend this money?"
A few instances of sparse voices propagated from below the stage. "No!"
"Alright. Even if most of you are willing to spend this money and are able to afford it, what if Google announces increased prices the next time around? Patent fees might rise from 10 dollars to 20, 30, and more. When various fees start piling up, how will you react?"
"Should you continue to tolerate this?"
"Google is no philanthropist. They want money. Coincidently, in these past few years, we have become stronger and richer. If they don't earn from us, who do you think they will earn from?" 
"So, what should we do? If they want our money so badly, what could we do? Should we just present ourselves to be robbed?"
Chen Jin shook his head. "No, not me, and not you either. On the day they announced that they were going to impose a fee, we started making and using our own operating system."
He pulled out a phone from his pocket, tapped the screen, projected the phone's screen on the big screen behind him, and said, "From now on, use Xing Hai Technologies' Star Cloud OS, because it will be free of charge forever."
"Wow!"
Clap clap clap!
Cheering and applause exploded from the audience. On the phone of an unknown brand, the operating system embedded on his device was Star Cloud OS 1.0!
"The software ecosystem for Star Cloud OS has yet to mature. Currently, it has about 10 simple apps, but we are using this system to tell Google, You want our money? Dream on!"
Clap clap clap!
The crowd applauded fanatically.
Chen Jin was not evading the challenges Star Cloud OS faced, either. "Of course, we are aware of the Star Cloud system's weaknesses. The system is new, and it's still being perfected. Its ecosystem of applications is almost at zero. Comparing it with the Android system, which has a complete ecosystem of applications, I'm afraid that 99.9% of users might be reluctant to use this system."
"But we have determination, the capabilities, and the resources. We will strive to perfect the ecosystem of applications in the shortest time possible!
"Xing Hai Technologies will at all costs let users of the Star Cloud system say that: Not only is Star Cloud OS better than Android, it is also better than the Fruit company's IOS system!
"We will be establishing a League of Star Apps, and we welcome all hardware manufacturers within the country to join us. Together, we will build the Star Cloud system's underlying application ecosystem, fulfilling the customized needs of all companies.
"To all hardware manufacturers within the nation that are willing to join us, Xing Hai Technologies will provide interest-free loan assistance or financing services. We have earmarked 50 billion dollars for the first round of funds. If that's not enough, we will increase it to 100 billion or even 200 billion dollars! Whoever wants the money only needs to ask!
"In addition, Xing Hai Technologies will be launching a development tool called Star Cloud Studio 1.0. All programmers can download it for free from the Star Cloud official website It includes everything from technical documents, the Star Cloud Virtual Machine, and the software development kit. We welcome all programmers to join us in developing Star Cloud apps!
"Not only that, within the Star Cloud Studio, we have integrated a lightweight version of the Work Assistant, a tool that will be completely free and has no speed limitations. All programmers will have access to this tool. It will greatly curtail the difficulty of development efforts and expedite productivity by a significant margin… but it is only available for the development of Star Cloud apps."
"And last but not least…" Chen Jin prepared to announce the coup de grace. "To encourage programmers to participate in forging the ecosystem of applications for Star Cloud OS and enrich Star Cloud's App Store, we have decided to earmark another 10 billion dollars to reward our app developers."
"As long as the application you create is of good quality, receives good ratings, and has attained a certain number of downloads, you will be rewarded with a 1-million-dollar cash prize!
"That's right! Fees are required if you upload apps on other operating systems, but not only do we provide it for free, but there's also an opportunity to obtain a million dollars in cash!
"There are 10 thousand quotas for the reward, and anyone has an opportunity to claim it!
"In addition, for paid apps such as games uploaded by developers, 100% of the profits gained will be paid directly to the app developer. Whether you earn 1 billion or 10 billion dollars, we will not take even 1% from you."
Chen Jin held open his wide arms. "Join us, hardware manufacturers within our country. Join us, outstanding programmers, join us quickly! Xing Hai Technologies has nothing but money! We ask you to please believe in Xing Hai Technologies' technical capabilities. With the combined effort of everyone, Star Cloud OS can certainly exceed any foreign operating systems, but only if you are willing to join us!"
"The League of Star Apps welcomes all of you!"
Boom… The audience at the venue was overwhelmed with excitement.
Boom… The hardware manufacturers and programmers within the Z nation were shocked and in furor.
Boom… The higher-ups of Google were stunned and flustered.


Through a mysterious portal, Chen Jin arrived at this strange place - a post-apocalyptic world where civilization had been destroyed. 

Consequently, he found -

A piece of metal scrap
A robot trash collector
A battleground
A city
A ton and more of gold
A copy of high-tech documents
A...
In short, Chen Jin found a planet.

China's cinemas may be fearing bankruptcy [1]due to protracted COVID-19-related lockdown restrictions, but businesses offering online entertainment are upbeat about the future.
Nearly 10 new films that were originally scheduled for release at cinemas, had reached audiences for free using online channels as of June 23. The first in the series is Lost in Russia on ByteDance's platforms like Toutiao and TikTok.

The new films' online releases have provoked uproar in China's film industry. Some fear massive loss of ticket sales revenue. Even though film production companies reportedly said online releases are not going to generate adequate profits, they still shifted to online solutions, in case waiting for theatrical release may cause more loss given the current situation.
For instance, Lost in Russia was reportedly under a bet-on agreement with HG Entertainment to receive over 2.4 billion yuan ($340 million) in box-office receipts in exchange for free distribution and a 600 million yuan payment. Given the coronavirus outbreak, the ambitious goal seemed less unlikely. On the other side, ByteDance's offer of 630 million yuan without further obligations was certainly more attractive, market insiders said.
Enter the Fat Dragon team told media that its switch to online release was to pre-empt pirated versions in China, as the film has been released in many countries, including Malaysia and Singapore.
With more films releasing online, traffic to video-streaming platforms has soared of late.
Take Lost in Russia. Within three days of the film's e-release, online views surpassed 600 million. Video-streaming apps of ByteDance like JinriToutiao and Xigua saw increasing downloads. Xigua even topped the list of free downloads on App Store, according to a report by news website 36kr.com.

The store reception for Lai Fu's Offshore Sea Store was exceptionally well received by the older generation. The discounts and offers that he had assigned for the first day made all the aunties and uncles rush in like mad dogs, snatching up almost everything he had on display.
Thankfully, being an experienced storekeeper for many years, he had previously ordered three months worth of stock to satisfy the demand for the frenzy buying. Lai Fu knew that the first day was one of the best times to earn quick cash to recoup the losses since people always wanted new stuff and a store opening usually resulted in the most substantial amount of customers.
Helping them out, Jin had developed a small little USB drive that could be connected to any sort of phone (as part of Lai Fu's request list). Those USB drives would act like temporary storage rings allowing them to put the items that they wanted to buy into it since most items were enchanted with anti-storage ring to prevent looting and theft from happening.
Either that or they could personally hand carry them on the carts provided. However, the technological advancement in recent years had made online supermarkets extremely popular, and the Offshore Sea Store was no exception in participating them.
With the help of the System, Jin had assisted Lai Fu in creating an online mart on the Pandamonium App as well as applying to the famous supermarket delivery services apps. As Lai Fu previously subscribed to be one of the sellers in those apps as well, the System merely aided him by instantly updating the items that were left in his store to those apps. Else, he had to pay an additional premium subscription fee to do that.
But because of the integration of the online market via Pandamonium App, users could also earn and utilise Panda Medals by doing so. In fact, every purchase in the Tiangong Tree Mall would allow them to earn Panda Medals which could indirectly be used to either obtain items in Jin's store or used as the premium currency for his mini games and dungeons.
During his downtime from the day before, Jin had planned a road map to revamp the usage of Panda Medals. Instead of merely using it as a sort of reward or extra currency, he was thinking of creating discount packages that utilised those medals too. Things such as free food delivery package for 10,000 Bronze Panda Medals or discount voucher package for 8,000 medals.
While he was merely copying ideas that were already on the market, they had proven to be successful, and Jin saw no reason why he could not get a share of the pie as well. Maybe in the future, Jin could liaise with other apps like the taxi and online market delivery to further integrate the Pandamonium App into society. Right now, he was satisfied starting small and just making sure that his Tree Mall was not only an overnight success but a continuous one.
Yet even though there was the online market app choice, most of the older generation prefer to go down to the stores to select their items. As long as it was not a crazy surge of people, the aunts and uncles would love to take their time in choosing their fruits and vegetables, picking the best out of the lot in the store's bin. In addition, the physical stores sometimes provided discounts that were not available on the online apps.
The same was true for Lai Fu's Instance Store. The current Day One discount was the biggest discount he had ever offered. By buying five items, one of the five cheapest items would be discounted at 99% (up to a certain price point of 100 Yuan). Hence, many people took the chance to buy the more expensive stuff all at once, mainly comprising the premium food stock from Jin's Agriculture Sector.
Even Lai Fu was shocked at how fast Jin's food stock vanished, and when he queried some of his long time customers, their reasoning made perfect sense. "There was no scent of pesticide used on these at all! The colour of the vegetables is very prominent too! It has been so many years since I saw this kind of naturally grown fruits and vegetables." the collective opinions of his customers who were equally health conscious in their advanced age answered him. (Things which Lai Fu already know when he personally examined the goods too, but verification from his peers sealed the deal for him even further.)
"Do you know that considering the quality of the products, the price you place on it is freaking cheap? Of course, I will get a bulk of them before it gets all sold out!" His customers said frantically and went to the payment cashiers where a team of Deep Ones were manning the cashier booth.
One scanned the items, the other two packed them up before the customer could choose between delivery to their house or self carry. Most were okay with carrying thanks to the power of the storage ring, but some did choose the delivery option, taking advantage of the Day One discounts to buy for their relatives too.
As Lai Fu began developing a friendly relationship with the Deep Ones, he even requested more of them via the Pandamonium App while they were still free. (He still would be charged according to their numbers starting next month). Sure, he still had some of his old employees, but many quit after the incident, with only a few loyal enough to remain behind.
Thus, Lai Fu ended up deploying them for all kinds of jobs. The owner used them for cashier services restocking the items and currently (maybe most importantly) for crowd control. Lai Fu believed that they were the ideal monster NPCs which were fierce enough to go against the crowd.
There were instances where those greedy uncles and aunties were tempted to take fresh stock from their hands, (mainly because of the discounts Lai Fu had provided) which caused the Deep Ones shouted at them and even scratched them superficially as a warning.
The customers in return demanded for compensation, but before Lai Fu could intervene in any way, the Deep Ones officially issued a duel challenges to settle the store. Should they accept and win the duel, they would get their compensation, fair and square along with an apology.
The ignorant older cultivators thought this was a simple fight and part of Lai Fu's new instance, so they fought against them recklessly. (The only ones who had the last laugh were the cultivators that had experienced Jin's stores and knew what capabilities these fishes had.
…So far, none had won against the mighty Deep Ones and the customers learnt the lesson not to disturb the Deep Ones during their restocking. What followed was an extremely ridiculous sight to behold. Lai Fu had never thought it possible to witness customers standing at the side, mere inches away from a Deep One, patiently waiting for him to finish restocking the items before pouncing on the goods and merchandise.
"Each Yuan for these angry fish is worth it." Lai Fu chuckled to himself as he sat at the side of the recently arrived Discount Pirate Ship and enjoyed some fishing.


In a modern world where cultivators need a place to cultivate or vent their boredom, there are private businesses that set up instance dungeons with the aid of technology and cultivation magic to enable cultivators to train and commoners to experience the life of cultivation. They are called dungeon suppliers.

Xie Jin's one and only dream was to be a dungeon supplier and when his only relative passed away, the relative's inheritance gave him a plot of land and surprisingly, a 'System' Module which the relative had previously used. 

With the help of the system, Xie Jin decided to pursue his dream of becoming the number one dungeon supplier.

(13/8/2020) Author's opinion: At this point, this book had hundreds of chapters worth of content which I had planned for a long time. If you wish to undertake the book and appreciate the story, please read it up till chapter 300s to understand the sudden twist in chapter 100s.

i will admit that during that time, I am still a young budding author and could have expressed the story better in the early hundred chapters. But I assure you the story development is worth it.

Su Cha smirked, and the only thing she said was, "Thank you for reminding me."
Her words made Le Anqi feel a little better.
At least she still received some gratitude from Su Cha. But why did that make her feel a bit flattered?
When the digits on the screen jumped to 173, Le Anqi continued, "Are you number 351? It seems like we won't be able to reach our turns today. Since we're already here, do you want to hang out?"
Su Cha looked at her with a faint smile, "You want to hang out with me?"
Le Anqi was stunned.
She regretted it immediately.
Why did she blurt out such a thing?
"I'm going to wait a bit before I leave," said Su Cha, rejecting her.
"Alright."
Le Anqi felt relieved when Su Cha told her she would not be leaving for a while. "Then I'll leave first."
After Le Anqi left, Su Cha continued listening to the song 'Wild Pigeon' while installing apps on her mobile phone.
The mobile phone that she was currently using was bought after so many months of saving up her living expenses. It was the most basic smartphone, with the price of just slightly over 1000 Yuan, and since she had been using it for quite a while, it had started to lag a bit.
Su Cha gave it some thought, she had 2500 Yuan with her now…
Maybe she should just wait for Zhai Yao to pay her back before buying a new phone!
She connected her phone to the free Wi-Fi provided and downloaded Meiyin, Weibo and other apps.
Back then, Su Cha really did not use social media apps like these. Her routine was to entertain Zhai Yao, work during weekends and do her revisions. She was not familiar with those trending social media apps.
Plus the fact that she had remained in the ancient times for so long…
Luckily the apps nowadays were all pretty similar and Su Cha was very fast at picking up new knowledge. Whenever she faced any difficulties, she would just search it up online and within half an hour she had already mastered the functions of these two applications.
She would upload her embroidery videos on Meiyin, while increasing her popularity on Weibo.
When she created her account, she put a lot of thought into choosing a name, and at last she decided on the code name S.
She liked things to be simple. The alphabet S represented her initial, and there was nothing more to it.
After settling these things, Su Cha roughly scrolled through the other videos. Most of the videos in Meiyin were comedic videos, while educational videos mainly taught people about photography and cooking. It was rare to see videos of embroidery or traditional crafts.
In other words, she had a unique selling point.
After scrolling through the videos, Su Cha looked at the time. It was half-past four in the afternoon.
Then she lifted her head to check the number. It was only 197.
She knew that she would not reach her turn today, but to be safe she planned to come back at seven in the evening. She thought about it and got up to leave.
Once she left, the noise of people talking around her seemed to get louder.
As soon as she stepped out the door, without the constant coolness of the air conditioner, the temperature around her became higher. Su Cha could feel the heat on her face, but luckily it was not the hottest time of the day yet. Once the heat dissipated, the temperature was still acceptable.
The moment the Wi-Fi disconnected, Su Cha heard a tinkling sound from her phone.
She squinted her eyes to see under the sun and realized it was a text message.
It was a message from the bank.
XX Bank: Your account number ending 4842 has successfully received an Alipay transaction of RMB 10,000 at 4.42pm on the 9th of May. The remaining balance is RMB 13,089.27.
At the same time, an unknown number sent her a text message.
Unknown number: Su Cha, you'd better remember that from now on we are parting ways. Don't even think about coming to beg me when you regret it next time!
Su Cha read his last words and sneered.
So it was Zhai Yao.
Tsk. She thought Zhai Yao would still be struggling desperately. What made him return the money so decisively?
Su Cha's instincts told her that this was not as simple as it seemed.


The famous actress Su Cha was involved in a scandal! The leaked video had left the fans flabbergasted. 
Fans, "They look so cute together! Her boyfriend looks like an adorable puppy!"
However, the public, who had witnessed his muscular physique in the video clip, had a different opinion. 
"How is he a f*cking puppy! He's more like a ferocious hound!"
In Su Cha's eyes, Bo Muyi was a lovable man who was always demanding kisses and hugs. 
In the public's eyes, Bo Muyi was merely a loathsome and overbearing tyrant. 
Before her rebirth, the naive and innocent Su Cha departed that life in sorrow. 
After her rebirth, Su Cha turned into an absurdly talented, but violent and deviant woman. 
Not only that, she mollycoddled her husband dearly! 
(This is a story of a brutal and aberrant heroine who met a ruthless yet overly-affectionate hero.)
Side note: This is a story of the heroine's three, but not one, lifetimes.

Hey readers,

I would like to say thank you to those reading A Secret Love Affair so far but it has come to my attention that I can't update it as much on certain apps except one and that is Wattpad which I will be writing the full version of 100k+ of this huge book. I am not taking it down on apps not unless I have too but otherwise for now it will be placed on Wattpad as a full length that way I won't be stressed. Alicia and Cecilia isn't going anywhere but if you want to continue the story feel free to join me on Wattpad my username is LesbianJuliet88 and all my other books are there too if you are ever curious. I just wanted to let you all know that this book means everything to me and I want everyone to enjoy the story a long with me. I would highly suggest recommending to your friends that would make it all the worth while and then some. 

My journey with this book has just begun but I want you to see the world in my eyes on Wattpad and get really deep into this with me. I hope you all enjoy your evening and remember your dreams are your own, not someone elses.

Another schoolday came and went. My parents weren't home when I returned and their car was out of the garage, so I decided to take the opportunity to do something about my work-out area. All the equipment had been shoved against the walls with no rhyme or reason except to get it out of the way once the initial thrill of owning it disappeared.
It took nearly three hours to haul everything around to create a dedicated space at the head of the garage. My parents actually owned everything necessary to build their own home gym. They simply hadn't gotten around to putting it together. There were multiple stacks of interlocking black foam traction tiles in a plastic storage bin. Once they were put together, I had a gym floor. It wasn't a big gym floor, of course. I still had to leave room for my parents to park their car. But it was enough.
I moved the weight bench so it was perpendicular to the wall and possessed enough clearance for the bar to actually rest in the rack. I turned the treadmill so a wall would catch me if I tripped—a better option than being thrown into the other equipment. The multifunction whatchamacallit in the corner was too big to move, so I left it where it was, but I did find a lightweight row machine tucked against the wall behind it. I set that up next to the treadmill.
Leaving a walkway to the garage door, I arranged the other half of the home gym into a yoga-calisthenics area. I arranged all the free weights around the walls, found an unused laundry basket to hold yoga mats and stretch resistance bands, and left a good sized area for doing pushups and other floor activities.
My parents returned home as I was setting up a charging station for one of my older, outdated tablets. It wasn't the same as having a wall-mounted television or surround sound stereo for entertainment, but it would be enough to provide background noise while I worked out.
My parents hesitated to pull their car into the garage when they saw I'd reorganized it, so I waved them inside like an airport flagsman. They slowly rolled in. I wanted to cheer when the whole car fit without hitting anything in my gym area. As I thought, the garage had been made for a much larger gas guzzling SUV or truck—not my parent's little electric car. There was still plenty of room to move around.
"What's all this?" my dad said as he climbed out of the passenger seat.
I shrugged. "I thought it'd make it easier to work out."
"I still don't understand why you've suddenly become such a health nut. When you were growing up, I had to use a prybar to get you to go outside and play. Now look at this place."
"Are you mad?" I asked.
My mom laughed from the rear of her car, which she'd opened to retrieve several bags of groceries. "Honey, he's just confused. He's having trouble acknowledging that a game motivated you when he couldn't." She smiled as my dad arrived at her side and took the shopping bags from her. "I, for one, am very happy to see you becoming more energetic. The reason doesn't matter."
"I'm happy, too," my dad called out as he carried the groceries into the house. "And supportive! If you want us to sign you up for a gym membership or a dojo, just let me know."
I wrinkled my nose as I retrieved my share of the groceries and carried them inside. Jack and Jillian Trent were generous to a fault. Our family wasn't rich. My parents made enough money to cover the bills, but I knew supporting me devastated any attempt they made to build a savings account. They never said anything, yet I knew it wasn't easy for them to find money to buy me new clothes after every growth spurt, pay for my school supplies, and satisfy the black hole every teenage boy had in place of a stomach.
I did my best not to be a burden to them, but instances like this made it hard. I knew they sometimes felt like they'd failed me and they tried to spoil me to make up for it. I could say yes to make them happy, but then I'd feel guilty about adding to our family's financial burden. My parents weren't young and they were definitely overdue to start planning their retirement.
"I have my own gym," I said. "Why do I need to pay to go to someone else's? And a dojo sounds interesting, but that's a long-term commitment. It can wait. It'd be a waste of money to go now when I'm still only doing basic training. And there's no telling if I'll be able to continue playing in a month. The game subscription fee isn't cheap. I've read it's possible to buy game time using in-game coin, but that's something you can only do in a big city. I'm still in a starter area."
My statement distracted my parents from the dojo issue and they spent the next hour reassuring me I could continue playing as long as I wanted. And I believed them. The game's subscription fee wasn't cheap, but it wasn't exactly expensive, either.
Over dinner, I did ask for the one thing I needed to make my nightly playtime more enjoyable. "Do you think I can have twenty dollars to go to the 4D Arena tomorrow? Since I'm using a helmet, the game couldn't scan my whole body. Some of my proportions are off. The Arena has full-size capsules you can rent to update you rendering scans."
My dad had his wallet out before I could blink. I supposed it was the good side of living like a conscientious hermit. If I'd been the type of teenager who asked for twenty dollars every weekend and demanded designer clothes on top of it, they might have asked questions and been more stingy.
After dinner and an hour of watching the news with the family, I showered and laid down in preparation for logging in. Since it was the weekend, I set my helmet's secondary alarm for nine in the morning, giving myself a few extra hours of playtime. Of course, it meant I'd be asleep for almost ten hours instead of only eight, but I didn't think it would harm me as long as I didn't make it a habit.
When I logged in, I didn't immediately load into the game like I usually did. For some reason, I ended up floating in a completely white space.
"Hello, new user," a child-like voice greeted. "Sorry to interrupt, but your game 'Aetherscape' has queued a new update. Would you like to wait in your system lobby while it installs?"
"What's my system lobby?" I asked.
"Thank you for asking. Your system lobby is part of your 4D gaming headset's operating system. You can think of it like a full immersion version of the desktop GUI—that is, graphical user interface—on your phone, tablet, or laptop. In other words, it's what you see when you're not inside an application or program. Would you like to personalize your system lobby? There is a library of free environments provided by the system default or, as an Aetherscape subscriber, you can also select an Aetherscape premium theme."
"Can you show me the Aetherscape themes?"
"Aetherscape theme one is the Holy Cathedral of the Saints." The environment around him morphed into the interior of a large stone Cathedral with light shining through various windows. A nun standing at the front of the church waved at me and said, "Aetherscape theme two is Forest Camp." The scenery morphed again, placing him in a forest clearing with a campfire, a teepee, and a young huntress in leather armor. She gave me a feral grin and said, "Aetherscape theme three is—"
"Stop," I blurted to stop her from going to the next one. The scenery and the huntswoman disappeared, returning me to the original white space. "Those are great and all, but they're a little too immersive for a system lobby. Those kinds of environments will make me think I'm already in the game. Do you have something more minimal? All I really need for this space is access to the system tools."
"Falling Data is a popular theme and meets your specifications," the system AI recommended. The surroundings morphed once again, this time to a solid black with rainbow streams of ones and zeroes appearing at random intervals. They faded out of existence as they fell.
Holographic panels appeared in my immediate environment. One for system tools, one dedicated to Aetherscape, and one dedicated as a generic file explorer.
"This works," I said in satisfaction. I went into system tools first and discovered there were many free applications I could download for my 4D headset. There was a cellphone emulator that allowed me to copy my phone for use in my system space. There was a library emulator that allowed me to turn any digital book I owned into a full immersion copy I could read. I could play music, access video streaming sites, and explore the Net like I was using a regular tablet. The main difference was I could duplicate and resize the screens in the system lobby, making them as big as I wanted.
I didn't have words to describe how it felt to watch anime on a screen big enough to fit a movie theater.
And that didn't even scratch the surface of what was possible. There were also paid minigame apps available and advertisements for companies hiring night shift employees—data analysts, editors, translators, programmers, and so on.
It made it very, very clear it wasn't a waste to purchase the 4D headset without Aetherscape or any other game.
I turned to the Aetherscape main file before I could fall too far down the rabbit hole of exploration. It offered three free apps, three paid apps, a stylized Net browser for their site—including their wiki—and an avatar viewer. I opened the viewer first. A full hologram of my in-game avatar appeared a few feet away, dressed in my Atlantean gear. Surrounding the hologram was the equipment slots and stats I could see in my status screen.
I didn't know the average stats among players, so I had no idea whether mine were any good. I was happy to see most of my equipment slots had something in them. Only a few were empty—some jewelry slots, my shoulder slot, and my offhand weapon slot.
I noticed a weird shadowed slot off to the side. When I touched it, a notice appeared.
[Player's charm is not high enough to do this. 100 charm is required to unlock follower system.]
[Player's level is not high enough to do this. Player must be level three to unlock follower system.]
I used the game browser to look up information on the follower system. It didn't take long to discover it was a cross between a mercenary system and a gacha lottery system. Followers could randomly appear as filler in Guild spaces, housing spaces, and—if a player's charisma was high enough—actually assist them as backup fighters.
For now, it was something I could look forward to using and not something I could currently touch. I closed out of the avatar viewer and searched through the other apps to see if there was anything useful. The three paid apps were obviously meant for Guilds. One was an offline Guild space where players could meet up without actually logging in. Another was a raid assistant. The last one was AetherScan, an interactive map of the entire in-game world that updated twice a day.
As for the free apps, it took a few minutes to understand what they actually did. The first one was a portal to an offline copy of a player's in-game house, making it so they could play and decorate it without actually needing to log in. The second was a practice arena. Unlike in-game arenas, there were no prizes for beating NPCs or monsters. Its only purpose was for practicing moves without taking up valuable in-game real estate.
The last application was a relay. It allowing Aetherscape to connect to the system lobby's copy of my cell phone, which would in turn connect to my actual cell phone. Using it, I would no longer be cut off from the outside world.
Thankfully, I'd left my phone charging on my side table, so I didn't need to log out to pair the applications with my phone. I checked the time on the system clock before deciding to try it out. It was still early enough, my dad shouldn't have gone to bed yet.
He sounded very confused when he answered. "Eh? Jay? Why are you calling me? Aren't you in your room? When did you leave?"
I chuckled at his predictable response. "I'm still in bed asleep. I just learned out how to make calls from inside my headset. Do me a favor and call back. I want to see if the call gets relayed like it should."
He obliged, hanging up and calling me back. A holographic icon appeared to inform me of an incoming call and I only had to press to answer it. "Did it work?" my dad asked.
"It works even better than I expected. You should think about getting a headset for yourself. With this system lobby, you wouldn't have to stay up all night to get your work done. You could pair your headset with your laptop and just do it all in your sleep."
"Your mother would kill me if I came to bed with a gaming helmet on," he replied.
"Not if you get her one, too. I bet if there are more than one headset on the same wifi network, we could create a family lobby. You and mom can set it up to be like a beach retreat. She'd probably love that."
"It's something to consider for her birthday. Tell me more about it tomorrow. Okay?"
"Okay. Goodnight, dad."

Aetherscape's newest game update:  Aquatic Races!

Aetherscape is a full immersion game based on the theme of 'dreams'.  High school student Jay isn't a gamer.  He prefers to spend his time reading--preferably away from other people.  He incidentally reads a novel series based on Aetherscape and his curiosity is piqued.  He can actually explore the story's expansive world in full immersion?

How was a noob like Jay supposed to know Underwater zones are historically unpopular?  Not that he cares.  He prefers dealing with predictable NPCs over unpredictable players.
