Chapter 26: Nice job! (2)
The next day, I didn’t deliberately set an alarm when I fell asleep last night.
As usual, I woke up at 7:30 and had a little breakfast. As I found nothing special about Revival Legend these days, I decided to go to bed until late in the morning since I had to take a break anyway. It was sothing I would not have again in the future.
So, when I got up, the clock display showed that it was 11 AM. I got up and moved to the bathroom to quickly wash and got ready to go out. I promised to have lunch with my mother during my call with her the other day. And I also promised to have dinner with the whole family, including my father, brother and sister.
After washing, I went out of the one-room studio and moved to a nearby bus stop. I took a city bus, now familiar to , to Chongdamdong near my ho, then took a taxi there.
“Welco, son!”
As soon as I got off the taxi, my mother was waiting for in front of the big gate.
“Why are you waiting for here, Mom?”
“It’s because you were almost late.”
“It’s because...”
I could not bring myself to tell her that I slept late.
“Never mind. Let’s go in.”
“Sure.”
I had a good relationship with my mother. She was not as coercive as other won from wealthy business conglorate families, and she always looked at things from my point of view.
Anyway, led by my mother holding my hand, I moved straight to the kitchen table where all kinds of delicious food were ready. There I found an unexpected person, who was none other than my older sister.
“There you go. Can’t you co earlier? Do I have to go hungry because of you?
“Why aren’t you having a date today on the weekend, Sis?”
Even during my school days, she was always busy, especially during the weekend.
Crossing one leg over the other, she raised her head and opened her mouth as if she was reminiscing the past, “Lol. I love those days. I could et boys freely without any worry.”
Slap!
“Ouch! Mom!”
“Watch your language!”
“Did I say sothing wrong? It’s no wonder I was popular as I was the daughter of a business group and I was a beauty. If you want to bla , you should have not delivered a pretty baby girl like ! You’ll never know how annoyed I was because I was too pretty.”
I knew my sister’s personality, so I sat down quietly after washing my hands.
Then I had lunch with my mother and sister while chatting about various stuff after a long ti.
“Where’s Daddy and Brother?”
“Working at the company.”
“Even on the weekends?”
“Yep.”
“Wow, they must be busy.”
“You bet. I am also so busy that I can’t even rember when I last went on a date.”
“Even you, Sis?”
“Of course. You know I’m beautiful, but at the sa ti I’m competent.”
“Well…”
I did not refute her statent because it was true.
After a nice lunch in an amicable atmosphere, I moved to my room, which was still being cleaned, because I had to pick up sothing. It was none other than the 3rd generation high-end VR adaptor.
Knock, knock!
At that mont, I heard sobody knocking on the door, which soon opened.
“Are you playing a ga now?” my sister asked.
“...”
Of course, the scope of VR applications is endless, such as education, videos, calls, conferences, dicine, business, etc. It was easier to find a field where it is not used. However, VR’s biggest application was for gas.
“Yeah.” I replied cautiously because I felt a bit awkward if she thought I was playing gas after I was expelled from ho. Besides, she even went as far as to protect , threatening my father by holding a hair trimr to shave her hair.
“Which ga?”
However, my sister asked back casually as if she didn’t care.
“Revival Legend.”
“Revival Legend?”
“Yeah.”
“What is your ga type and your level?”
As far as I knew, my sister didn’t play anything like gas. But she now ntioned my ga type and level naturally, so I corrected my posture and said, “Ice-type wizards and Level 100.”
“Hmm. Level 100 for ice-type wizards. I guess it took two or three weeks for you to get there. Oh, if you achieved it without any support, it would have taken you a month and a little longer, I think.”
“Well…I guess so.”
Five days, no, more precisely, it took four days and ten hours. However, I didn’t feel the need to correct her, so I glossed over it with a vague answer.
“Good job.”
I didn’t want to show my mother I was playing gas because I didn’t return to campus after being discharged from the army when I entered the most prestigious Seoul National University.
But I confided to her about it because she was my sister. I still had a fond mory of her threatening to shave her hair with a hair trimr to protect from my father. Since I never expected her praise, I could not help but ask back, “Good job for what?”
“You did a good job. I an you did well when you chose Revival Legend among many other gas. Just send a ssage about your ID and your location in Revival Legend.”
“What?”
At the mont, I couldn’t accept her response properly because I had the impression that she was also playing gas. But she didn’t say anymore and turned around as if her mission was over that evening.
***
Dinner ti for the whole family didn’t last long because my father and brother didn’t sit at the table for long, pretending to be so busy.
Of course, I wanted to ask my father or brother if they knew about Daesung because if it was true that Daesung was really operating a ga system, it was sothing serious.
But I didn’t have the nerve to ask because if I did, I might end up publicizing to my family that I was hooked onto gas. At that mont my sister opened her mouth as if she misunderstood my concern about my father and brother.
“Try to understand them, Juyoung. They’re really busy as bees these days.”
“Sure.”
Of course, since she was playing ‘Revival Legend,’ she might know about Daesung, but I didn’t ask her either because I felt a bit uncomfortable ntioning the ga right now when my father and brother were not present.
Then my mom said, “Son, it’s late. Sleep here tonight.”
“Sorry. Mom. I have got sothing to do today.”
“You an this evening?”
“Yeah.”
17 hours of cooldown. I had to go back for that.
“Got it. Let wrap so side dishes for you. Wait a minute.”
“Okay.”
“Dang it! Why don’t you sleep here?”
My sister rebuked while my mother was busy packing so food for .
“Next ti.”
“Never mind. By the way, send a ssage to . Let head out first then. I’m busy. See you next ti.”
“Alright.”
As if she was pretty busy, my sister quickly left the kitchen with quick steps.
I grabbed the food that my mom wrapped for and went out of the house.
She saw off at the door.
“Son. Don’t forget to call often.”
“Sure, Mom. Goodbye.”
“Let see you leave first.”
“You know our family driver always gives a ride back.”
“I don’t care.”
Although I took a bus and taxi to go ho, our family driver always gave a ride back to my place. I gave my mother a hug, got into a luxury sedan and moved to my one-room studio.
While driving to my place, I texted my sister a ssage about my ID ‘lun’ and my place in Revival Legend, naly Kotum Castle.
“Execution!”
On the way back ho, I downloaded ‘Revival Legend’ onto the 3rd generation high-end VR adaptor. As soon as I got ho, I hurriedly put it on because 17 hours had already passed. That is, the cooldown ti had ended.
