Chapter 7 : Virtual world

I was listening attentively to my mother then asked her :

" What was your idea ?"

" We wanted to duplicate the real world and create a virtual version of it, from nature, to buildings to everything new happening in the real world will be an update in realtime in the virtual world, with that we set up a basic layout for a new world, then we needed everyone older than 15 to get a helmet, then the asset of every person in the world would be converted into virtual asset, and since everything in the real world is duplicated, then banks, schools, markets, and even factories got duplicated, the conversion was easier with the help of the banks all over the world. We linked real assets to virtual assets, and since it was rare for anyone to play with real money at the time, and almost everyone used their smartphones to pay, everything was easy to solve.

After the money, came the problem of works that will be lost due to virtual reality we decided to help those people with virtual currency to compensate them and opened them the opportunity to be the first people to get a job in the large corporations running the virtual world ."

" that´s a bit complicated I think and many steps were involved in setting up the basic layout of the virtual world "

" That´s right my dear, it took us 1 year to finish those steps, anyway we went throw many subjects and fields trying to help preserve everyone´s interest, and from the many things we decided upon was wars if a country declared war than the two sides need to faceoff in the virtual world, only soldiers of every country can participate, the faceoff happens in a large plains with different setting, Air battle, naval battle and city battles, the damage to the two sides will be calculated in Virtual coins and the winner side will get a percentage of virtual coins from the losing side, and since everything runs on virtual coins, if you lose your military budget will shrink and so will your military power, even if you win the war, if the loss is greater then the gain you will still lose and shrink your military power."

"A great idea "

" That is true my dear, anyway with this fewer people wanted to enter conflict and if they did, it was a form of entertainment for all people, some might even start a war to flex their muscle around, and since they lost only money and no life was wasted then all is good no one will blame you for wanting to pillage some money from other since you can earn virtual coins in the virtual world too, you just have to complete some tasks in real-world or in the virtual one.

Apart from that, many games came to be and were played by all people around the world, As for learning many things were involved, for example, every university had their libraries in the virtual world and only student of that university had access to them, so your sister needed to be abroad to learn, it is also a way to encourage people to go around the world and meet with people in real life, we decided to only allow people to move only in the city that they logged on in if you want to be in another city apart from yours, you need to travel there first and then log in. With that many lazy people will have a reason to go out and do something for real. And another form of restriction was the time allowed in the virtual world. Since it is 16 hours maximal you have 8 hours to do many things like sport activity or some entertainment with friends and family, or even do some jobs in the real world"

" That´s an interesting idea to do "

" That was only the initial stage, After the kickstart of everything and during the first 5 years we succeeded in getting to every human in the world, after that was the real start of a new era, we gave quest all over the world in every field possible and gave virtual coins as rewards to get people to help with getting all the knowledge in the world, with every book you scan to the virtual world, you get coins, it depends on the rarity of the book, if many uploaded the same book the reward will go to all of them, then we compiled all the books and got a virtual library that gets updated every day with new books, newspapers, magazines, and articles, we gave everyone access to every daily publication with virtual coins and we called this level 1 access, level 2 access was for student or workers of many corporations but this will depend on the field you study or work in and the benefit you get from your respective university or workplace. level 3 access is for researchers and lab workers all around the globe, level 4 access is for everyone that gave birth to the virtual world and the leader of every country or any person that did a good contribution to any project that the virtual world gave birth to, and last but not least level 5 access, this is the highest security level access that anyone can get but it is difficult to get since till now no one has done it. And there is only one other way to get full access to the library: after clearing every level tests and accumulating enough point to up your level access ."

So, in other words, this library system is like an entirely new world where people that love reading or doing something meaningful can relate to it. It is a good way to stimulate the intellectual level of every human everywhere.

" This is just part of the whole virtual world we created. We implemented the system of quests, rewards, and ranks everywhere in every field possible and almost 90 % of everything you can think of happens in the virtual world. Of course, hospitals still need to run in, schools, tourism, and sports too, but apart from that every job can be done and controlled thought the virtual world."
