I Live To Play VR-MMORPG

[Mervin's POV]

"Your brother, He made... a game."

"Game?"

"Yes, a game."

"Well, that's normal, he used to play games very often."

"He's still too young, there's still more space for him to improve."

Both of them nodded their heads.

One idiotic a.d.u.l.t and one clueless boy, even though they found out Andy made a game, in their mind they thought it's normal.

In the Old Man's mind.

'Later when he woke up, I'll teach him how to make this game more intresting.'

Meanwhile, in Mervin's mind.

'Though I don't want him to play games, doing what he enjoys to do should a priority. As his brother, I should support him. '

After the Old Man entered his account number on Andy's account, he then returned to his own world, playing Hero on the computer.

"Oi Old Man, where's my father?"

I still use the same rude attitude when I talked to the old man. I don't care what he thinks about me.

Enough about him, I didn't see Lee around for a while.

It's impossible for Father to go back to work and this situation.

Could he be searching at that place by himself?

"I'm not sure, he went out to send me some money. He should have returned already."

"After all, the bank is not that far from here."

He must have gone there, I should go and check him.

Arriving at his old house, he found Lee was rummaging the piles of scraps.

"I'll help out."

When Lee saw me, he shook his head.

"No need to search anymore. Most of them can't be reused. I'm not rummaging the scraps but I'm cleaning this place."

"We should clean these up so that other people could buy it."

Father has decided to sell this place. There's not much choice is there.

"Un."

I started to help out, cleaning the area by picking up the trash and threw them in the bin.

If they leave them as it is, no one will buy the land when they see the condition of the land.

[Andy's POV]

Ha...

I took a nice nap.

Now that I'm not as tired as before, it felt refreshing.

"Oh, you're awake!"

The Old Man's eyes brighten up when he see that I was finally awake.

Right, previously, we're in the middle of a conversation and I fell asleep. What did I tell him again?

Uh, I'll just start over.

When I tried to explain to him from the beginning again, Old Man interrupted me before I could say anything.

"You should've told me that you make games!"

Huh?

Did I forget to hide all the files?

"What are you talking about?"

"I already found out. You left your account login when you fell asleep, there's no need to be shy."

"I have to admit it, your game is quite addictive but you're still an amateur. You need to add more characters and more artifacts into the game."

"There's only ten characters and over twenty artifacts that existed in the game."

I carelessly fall asleep and left the account there.

Since he found out already, there's nothing that could be done.

"Yeah, I'll add more things when I have time. More importantly, Have you entered your account number?"

"Yeah, I did."

"Let me see."

I opened up my profile and there are 999 notifications, the game I made must have entered the top ten games already.

I didn't go and read the notifications as it was not important. I directly went to see my income money.

Opening the income section, there are over three hundred US dollars in my balance and it's still growing.

[Would you like to withdraw?]

I unhesitantly withdraw the money and send them to the Old Man account.

"I've sent the money to your account, you should withdraw the money out."

"How much you earned?"

"About four million."

"Wow... I didn't know making games would be this profitable..."

It does earn you tons of money but that's if people kept playing your game everyday.

As the Old Man left, I'm finally alone in the store.

The next thing I did was check my e-mail, signing into my account and check the inbox.

There are already over twenty unread letters.

On the description of the game, I did mention that I need cooperation from someone to promote the game.

I didn't expect that it'll be this less, I was expecting more than twenty letters.

Anyway, I started checking the letter one by one.

Thinking that I'm an amateur, most of the people that tried to contact me, wanted to scam me or trying to get me to sign an unreasonable contract.

Out of all the twenty-three letters, only one was really trying to cooperate with me. He started off with a simple introduction and went straight to the point.

[My name is Daniel James, I'm just a guy that has money but don't know where to spend it]

[If you want, I can invest my money on you. You can use the money to host a website or do whatever you want. In return, I want 51% of you to earn from the game]

I replied to him.

[This is LEE123, I have read your letter and it sounds very suspicious to me]

[You said you wanted to invest money in this game, just how much money you're willing to invest for 51% of the profit?]

While waiting for him to reply, I went to create more sprites for the new characters and other features that I need to add.

Ding*

He replied faster than I thought.

This time he skipped the formalities and got into the point.

[It depends, I'm currently playing your game and I've entered 140th area. I supposed you know what this means as the developer]

[It need more contents, I'm waiting for your update and I'll decide how much money I'll invest]

[However, I can say that the money I'm willing to invest will be no less than a ten thousand dollars]

Intresting reply...

[I have to say... you misunderstood what I'm trying to tell you in the last reply]

[I'm not asking you to judge the worth of this game. I'm asking how much you're willing to invest]

[I can assume that you'll be investing ten thousand dollars, is that correct?]

As soon the letter was sent, in just ten seconds he made another reply.

[Forty thousand US dollars, in cash and we'll sign a life-time contract.]

Forty thousand huh? Not a bad deal for the first game I've made.

Though I know my game worth more than that, there's no harm letting him earn the extra cash.

I won't care about it in the future anyway.

[Deal, meet me in Indonesia, Tanjung Balai Karimun. Notify me through this e-mail if you have arrived]

-----

[Australia, Melbourne]

On the other side, in front of the computer "Daniel James" was frowning when he received LEE123's reply.

Though he's happy that he sealed the deal, where the heck is Tanjung Balai Karimun and out of all, it's Indonesia?

"Indonesia... Tanjung Balai Karimun..."

Checking on the internet, he can't find the exact location. Only by using the atlas map, he can find the so-called place that he supposed to go.

That's is a small island... and it's far from my place too.

Since that place obviously didn't have an airport, I'll need to go to the nearest airport available and then travel by ferry.

The closest place that has an airport was Singapore.

A total of eight-hour flight...

I guess I'm traveling again.

[Andy's POV]

Ding*

[I'll be there in a day or so]

That's the only words he replied.

I don't know where he's from but I could look into it myself.

Even though my specialization is not in the cybersecurity field. This year, with my current knowledge, I'm confident that I could break into any security if I tried, not that I will...

If I really tried, generate money from a private bank, I could but there's no point to do it is there?

I can just earn money by making games myself.

With that being said, I tracked his IP address and went to find out where he lived, and who he was.

It's much better to be safe than sorry.

Let's see... this type of IP address, no VPN was used, it's not a fake address and it's from Melbourne.

As for his identity, Daniel James, a fake name. His real name is James Stevens, living with his parents at Gilga Street, block X.

A month ago, he won two million dollars by luck, so he quitted school and decided to run a business with the money.

But in the end, he spent most of his money on traveling and left with only little left to invest in his business.

He coincidentally finds me when he heard that a popular game suddenly erupt out of nowhere and said that it needs someone's help.

What a lucky guy.

When his money about to ran out, he met me.

Anyway, that's about it, I should stop researching him. He didn't seem to be planning anything dangerous.

So... From Melbourne to here, indeed it'll take a day even with a plane.

Since there's no airport here, he can't fly directly to this place, He'll need to use a ferry to get here.

By the time he arrived, I'll have to meet him directly with this body and when that time comes I'll use my way to convince him.

After I've done researching him, I need to delete all the evidence, including files I obtained through an illegal method, afterward I didn't stop working and continue drawing the sprites for new characters.

Time passed quickly as I immersed myself to draw as many as I could. I was solely to create enough content that I don't need to work again in the future.

When I saw Father's motorcycle was parked in front of the store.

I quickly saved all of the files and closed the computer.

I can only continue later on when they're not watching.

"Dad, Mervin! Where did you guys go to?"

I called out to them when they walked into the store.

Lee was carrying two bags on his hand and Mervin was also carrying a bunch of stuff. It can be seen that they're cleaning tools.

"We went back to check the scraps, we tried to search but nothing can be reused in those rubbles. In the end, we just cleaned the place and put the land on sale."

"From today, we'll be living in this place."

"Of course, Dad has retrieved all of the money from the bank. We'll use the money to furnish the whole floor with new furniture after we have cleaned them."

The black bag on his left hand contains all of the money Lee withdrew from the bank. that will be used later after they clean the place.

"Take the these and go clean upstairs."

Mervin ordered me as he handed me a broom and dustpan.

I obediently took them and directly went upstairs to start cleaning without any complains.

"Let Andy clean by himself first. Dad, you should rest, your body won't make it if you pushed yourself too hard."

"Then you should rest with me too."

"...O-of course, who said that I'll help him."
