I got up from my makeshift bed and left the room. I saw everyone’s faces that were just screaming, with the idea of $100 wasted.

IT WORKS!!!!!! I screamed out loud.

If this were a game it would probably make me a skill just from the yell.

Notification!!!

You have created a new skill. “Yell.”

note: If you want to see detail pertaining this skill you still must reach level 20 or buy the stats ring to be able to within see further description.

WHAT THE HECK?????? I screamed.

I could see the window that popped up even though I was no longer in the game. Even closed by either me saying close or by swiping my hand.

Grandpa Jo: What is it my boy. What worked and what’s the heck about?

Zen: Grandpa Jo. The game works I just played an hour within the game. Then it seems that I can also see the window that I saw in the game.

Grandpa Jo: What do you mean it works and by the way you have only been asleep for 10 minutes you know. What window are you talking about?

Zen: Really only 10 minutes? I am sure of it. Let me try something. Show notification to Grandpa Jo.

Notification!!!

The person in reference does not have the NGVRW. (New Generation Virtual Reality Watch)

Zen: Hmm seems we will need to get you a watch as well, for you to be able to see what I am seeing.

Grandpa Jo: That will take a while.

Zen: Perhaps or perhaps not. I am going to check out what it says about this watch on the net. Perhaps there is more to it.

I walked over to my antique laptop that worked very slowly. Only to find that it made a huge steam when I turned it on. Seems it is officially fried. So as I lay in bed and said in my mind, if only I could browse the net somehow. All of a sudden another screen before me popped up and revealed the net I wanted to access.

“Wow” its like I have mind power with this device.

Notification!!!

Welcome to the Business Reality Network.

The next thing that opened up automatically in the net was a video that I couldn’t close or skip. Basically the gist of it was, that the creators of virtual reality have integrated part of the virtual game mechanics and business virtual world mechanics in to our real world. It also mentioned that your actions in the real world would impact your game play. However that option could be turned off if desired through the game system settings, which you can access just by saying “System Settings.” Hence since you were able to connect to the net in the business virtual reality you could now connect to it without going to sleep.

Tell me just how far has this world progressed while many people still live in slums?

Don’t they care about the poor people up there, or have they forgotten us already?

I dismissed that train of thought since I was never one to complain. I always told myself that to make this better you have to do it yourself and that no one would help you at that. That was the cruel world we lived in.

I went ahead and told everyone that it worked and what it could do. In order to lift everyone spirit. As I looked online the Chief Operations Manager at T.I.E. said that the watches recharge by intercepting any type of wave around us, from radio waves to cellular frequency waves. It was another igneous design that they made ever since they launched new and improved ships. It would gather the tiniest radiation waves that were converted to power certain things. Now it has advanced to work of simple waves, including sound waves.

Ok so I got a few things straightened out. As I was about to close the net a window with an invitation to join the merchants league popped up. The eye-catching thing was that it had a huge sign saying “Make Real Money” through selling items/ equipment/ information from the game. I wondered what that is about so I continued to read. Apparently I could try and so I joined the merchant.lolz.funny. It was very funny name including. As soon as I joined it had given me a rank “Rank Joker.” Rank system seemed to go from Rank 1 – 100, however new members were consider just like a joker card. It was unpredictable on what would be sold by them. So it was the first sale that would matter and establish you further rank. As I scrolled through the member list I could see thousands, no millions or even billions of users all over the Universe.

The next screen popped up saying if I would like to sell something. So I gave it a shot. I thought in my mind what I wanted to sell and settled that I would sell a small piece of information. Then a keyboard popped up, as then it said that the further interactions had to be typed as for security reason. So I typed that I was selling a name of a material

Then immediately as I was typing, another window came up and said that they had all of the information in regard to materials up to level 75 Zarkonite. It then said if the material was of higher level they would buy the name and if I wanted I could sell the information on how to acquire it for a bigger sum of money. It also said that they have close relations with T.I.E. and would ask them to verify if the material does exist and providing false information would get you demote your rank to Lvl 1.

I then typed a response and said I will only sell the name of a Lvl 100 Material. The system didn’t respond for a short time then it said connecting to an associate.

It was almost like telepathy that someone said inside my head.

“Hello there I am Zack and I am with the Merchant Association. The system alerted me to speak to you since you have a piece of information many are looking for. What the people are looking for are the materials with a level of higher then 75. So how much are you asking for this information.”

I then began to speak in my mind as if trying to answer him. He however did not respond so to my greeting and so I changed to speaking out loud and only then he responded that he was happy to be talking to me Zen.

Zen: Ok so for now I will only sell the name of the material. Thus we come to the price.

Since I didn’t know how much it would cost, so I opened another screen to see how much was it costs to receive information in regard to Zarkonite. Which was exactly $1000 dollars.

Zen: How much would you buy it for? Please do try to be reasonable with the price since your Zarkonite information to buy is $1000 dollars.

Zack: You do understand that the $1000 dollars is complete information about Zarkonite. Everything you need to know about it. So since we are talking about only a name I would say $100 dollars.

Zen: Tell me how long has this game been active. Until now it seems no one found even a name of a higher tier material. As to this knowing that just by giving out a name will not only trigger many events in the virtual world but also trigger the rapid development of some other information. Mind we also are talking about a Lvl 100 Material which is nearly 25 level higher then Zarkonite.

Zack: I am sorry that I had to test the waters with you in such a manner. Please accept my apology. I will say that we have a bid for this information of $10,000 dollars. I then extend this offer of $12,000 dollars since we could probably squeeze more money from the buyer.

Zen: That sounds better however I thing you hid the fact that there are multiple buyers for this kind of information. Tell me I am wrong and I hang up.

Zack: No Wait. Wait. Wait. Yes you are completely correct. My official price is $100,000 dollars. I don’t want to loose the information you have to provide for me so I will offer what the company has agreed to pay for this information. With this we will be able to sell it slightly higher to make some money to run this business.

Zen: I was never trying to squeeze out the money however; I was also testing the type of representative you are. So from now I will only deal with you in regard to this type of information. So it will give you an advantage to you as representative vs the other employees. As long as you are straight with me I will only exclusively sell this information through you.

Zack: As you are straight with me from the beginning I will be straight with you. I was on the list of being cut, since I could not provide any new information and if your information proves correct then this will secure my job here. Thus I wont try to make a huge commission of you anymore. Which was the only reason I tried to get the commission before I got fire/ let go.

Zen: Then you’re in luck. So how do we do this transaction? I want to be sure to get my money.

Zack: As for the transaction we conduct them in front of T.I.E. Representative. Since I am on Mars and it seems like you are on Earth. We will login to the Business Virtual Reality and conduct it through that system. If you don’t already have an account then, there is a one-time fee for the Business Virtual Reality portion, its $10,000 dollars.

Zen: I don’t have that kind of money to even join.

Zack: As a sign of apology and faith I will pay on your behalf. Thus you will only receive $90,000 dollars during the transaction.

Zen: Very Well.

Zack: Wait 5 minutes before logging in and I will take care of it quickly.

The call ended with me hearing a long beep sound and a female voice saying, “your call has ended.”

I then told Grandpa Jo what has happened and all he did was laugh. All he said was that virtual money wasn’t real money either way. Even though I tried to convince him about it. He still did not believe it.

Notification!!!

You now have access to the Business Virtual World.

That was my que. I went back and lay down. Thinking about me wanting to enter the business virtual world and same like before my eyes closed as if going to sleep immediately.

I then found myself on a road facing a building with big letters T.I.E.

Notification!!!

All of the transactions conducted in this Reality will transfer over to the real world. You can use your watch to access your funds in an ATM machine for quick cash. We suggest that you use the watch as a card instead of carrying loads of money. We will guarantee that your transactions are 100% safe. We also guarantee that up to $100,000,000, which are protected and insured with us.

Thank you for doing business through us. T.I.E.

I then heard a beeping noise in my head again and a female voice said. “There is an incoming call for you Zen.” I didn’t notice it before perhaps the last time I picked up the phone call without knowing it was incoming and so I accepted the call.

Zack: I am at the T.I.E headquarters ready for the transaction.

Zen: I am walking in as we speak.

In this space I was wearing a sort of cheap business suit. As I walked in I saw 5 guards standing near the reception desk. A young man in his mid 30’s dark hair and white skin and right next to him a familiar figure that I recognized from the local office. Lea.

As I approached Lea introduced me to someone named Phil.

Lea: Hello Zen. Here we have Mr. Phil a representative who will be making the transaction on the behalf of the Merchant Association.

Mr. Phil: Hello Zen and before you say anything, we offer you a new price of $500,000 since we had to change the associates who are going to be doing this transaction.

Until now Lea didn’t know the sum we were dealing with. So she being surprised, said that we need to proceed in to a private room that has absolute security. Before she could lead us away I said.

Zen: I am not moving from this spot until the Merchant Associate Zack arrived as agreed.

Mr. Phil: I am offering a better price then him. Does that not interest you?

Zen: My word means more then money dear Mr. Phil. Lea may you please take me to that room and only allow Zack from the Merchant Association to enter.

Even though Mr. Phil continued to throw offers at me he did not dare take a step after us since 2 of the guards stayed behind to separate us. I guess now I know what the guards were there for.

When we entered a room that seemed simple yet it was located within a Safe that had nearly 10-meter thick doors. Hmm interesting. I was left alone in that room which was delicately furnished. I am amazed at how much detail went in, in to this room alone. Not more then 5 minutes later Lea walks in with what I assume to be Zack.

Lea: Zen here is who you asked for Zack from the Merchants Association.

Zack: Hello Zen, are you sure you don’t want that other guys offer? He is legit you know. The reason you saw him as you entered even though I was here. The Boss of our company favors him since his, his son. So I was told to back down or else I get fired. I have a family to feed you know.

Zen: I don’t mind and we did reach an exclusive contract agreement over the phone. So let make it official.

Lea: Would you please wait I need to secure the door.

After one minute the door close without a sound.

Lea: It is now secure to proceed with the transaction.

Zack handed a check to Lea.

Lea: I have received a check for $100,000 dollars and will give you when you disclose the information out loud, so that I may hear and verify the information.

Zen: I thought you said $90,000 dollars before.

Zack: Well I though having a round number is better that way and the Business Virtual World account is just a bonus for us.

Zen: “Katonium” is the Lvl 100 material you wanted the information for.

Lea: That is indeed a Lvl. 100 material.

Here is your money Zen. I receive a check that vanished at I held it.

Lea: I know you are new to this system don’t worry it only went in to your account directly.

Zack: Will you sell me any other information?

Zen: The $10,000 bonus was almost like a bribe. Well I can tell you another piece of information about it although I don’t know how useful it will be.

Zack: You tell me anything else and I will give you and additional $100,000 dollars.

He then handed another check to Lea and she confirmed it.

Zen: “You need to mix several material in order to get a product of Katonium.”

Lea: That is also correct.

Zack: Hmmmm. The last bit was kind of obvious but it is information. Since Zarkonite you also need to mix several to get it.

Zack: Perhaps you can tell us which materials need to be melted in order to achieve this.

Zen: I know you would like to know. However I will not tell you anything further then this.

Zack: You know we don’t have to keep meeting like this every time we deal with this kind of sale. In fact you can contact Lea with the information and she can sell it for the amount you set on your behalf. She does also get a rating boost for this type of thing within her own company. So my suggestion is leave the information with her if you would. I then can buy it at a later date when you confirmed that you have received your money. Also to clear any suspicions from Lea here. She has this transaction recorded for record as well as all of the calls so its like 100% guaranteed safe transactions.

Zen: Very well then. I will leave you with a hint, that I have another material of the same level material and I will leave all of the information about it with Lea. So after I confirm that I have the funds I will make more transactions through Lea exclusively between us three. Ok?

Zack: You have another material of such quality?

Zen: I didn’t say I have it. I just said I know of it. XD

Zack: Ah I see you’re pretty clever to be able to catch that last phrase. Ok then leave it here and let me see her confirm the information you give her.

Zen: Hmm. Nope. I still have my money to confirm. XD.

Zack: Agh that right. Well then it was a pleasure doing business with you. I will also tell my contacts that you have more information in regard to another Lvl 100 material I presume. I will text you if they are interested in further information to buy. Who know maybe they can figure it out with only this.

Zen: It is a pleasure. If the money is real Lea I will see you if a few hours with a big group to get more of these devices for them.

Lea: I just have to remind you $1000 dollars each.

Zen: I know trust me. XD

I then went out side and logged out.

As I woke up I noticed another screen in front of me. Man these screens are getting annoying.

Notification!!!

Your account balance has increased by $200,000 at Universe Bank.

I then went out of my room and found Grandpa Jo. Told him what happened and he just continued to laugh at me. He said: “Are you mixing game world with the real world.”

I continued to convince me to go to that bank to see if it was true or not. I tried until finally he agreed to go with me. I was in my comfy rags when we went towards the bank. Grandpa Jo, was also wearing his rags.

As we approached the Bank, we saw 4 huge guards outside of the bank. This bank also happened to be on the way to T.I.E. While approaching it, before we were even 10 meters from the door. A guard ran up to us and told us to stop. He told us that in those rags we were not even aloud to step a foot in the bank for security and suspicion purposes. I then asked him were I can withdraw money from then. Since I had not a change to buy new clothes. He told us that we had to go through the drive through even though it’s meant for vehicles.

I didn’t care were I got the money as long as I got them. Grandpa Jo, kept on wanting to leave but we proceeded either way. It only made us look more suspicious every time I was convincing him. As if we were up too no good. There was no one waiting through the drive through and when the woman saw that we where right out side her window startled her. We looked like a bunch of slum people stalking someone at this point.

Teller: Can I help you gentleman?

She was trying real hard to hide the fear in her eyes even though she was quite well protected behind the bullet/ plasma proof window.

Zen: We are here to make a withdrawal.

Teller: would you swipe your card or device over the sensor right there please?

I did what she asked and then for a few seconds waited in silence, only to see her mouth drop.

Teller: Please come in, inside our dear customer.

Zen: I can’t the guards don’t let us through.

Teller: Don’t worry they will let you in now.

Zen: Ok.

We walked around the building again to arrive at the door. This time the guards didn’t move and you could even see sweat on their faces. It was if they were taking a bath on the spot.

That truly was weird I chuckled in my self. Grandpa Jo was also sweating as if taking a shower. He kept murmuring “we are soooo dead.” We walked in through the sliding class doors to be greeted by three employees.

Stanger 1: Welcome dear customers. We have been notified you want to make a withdrawal. I am the manager of this facility here.

Teller: Before that please follow us while we provide you with some suitable accommodations while you make your transactions.

Stranger 2: I will be your guide for this facility and if you shall need any help at all let us know.

Manager: May we ask you to follow us.

So we did and arrived at what looked like the VIP lounge, with no one in there.

Manager: If I may be so bold perhaps we can offer you a change of clothes as a complimentary gift for such a customer.

I was still amazed at the treatment so I didn’t have any reason to refuse. When they brought us the 2 suits they showed us where the showers were at and other things in the VIP Suit. It was almost like a hotel in a bank. Thus we changed and as it would happen it fit me 100% and Grandpa Jo as well. They probably got the measurements off the cameras.

Well we sat down and waited for someone to come in.

15 min later no one came in.

Another 15 min later, still no one came in.

I was getting anxious and said out loud “Anyone there?”

As if someone was waiting by the door the guide walked in.

Guide: How may I help you?

Zen: I came to make a withdrawal.

Guide: How much sir?

I was going to see what they would do. So I joked and said 100K.

Guide: Right away sir.

2 minutes later came in the guide with two guards carrying 1 briefcase.

She opened it in front of us and asked would you like anything else?

Notification!!!

You bank account has decreased by $100,000 dollars.

I though to my self, what if I order a passenger bus to pick up my so called extended Family at the slums to go get those Virtual Reality Machines. Takes about an hour walk to bank and 2 hours total to the T.I.E. so a bus would be real nice.

I need a passenger bus to accommodate 40 people for the rest of the day.

Guide: Right away.

As they left the brief case the guards also left room.

I was having Goosebumps going throughout my whole body, the entire time we were at the bank. Not believing any of what was happening and even thinking this was a huge TV show prank. I just though let us see how far this prank of theirs continues.
