In the end, the curly guy gave him another year to pay off the remaining debt. They left the hospital and went into the black sedan car to go get the money in Ryuei's account.
Arriving at one of the ATM machines, Ryuei put the card in and checked the money, which was still had 160 million rupiahs. He transfered 100 million from his account to the curly guy's account, after getting the money, they left Ryuei there.
"Sixty million, I think this is enough for us too," Ryuei said.
In fact, in those days, even 200 million was very easy to get in three to six months, of course, it is for people with middle to high economic levels. Ryuei is a person who belongs to a group that has a low-level economy, the largest income of this group is at least only around 40 million per year.
Because of that, Ryuei was now thinking hard, he murmured, "How can I get one hundred million in one year, no. Maybe, one billion in one year."
One billion in one year, to get that kind of money in a year, only people with top-level economies might be able to do it. However, even though Ryuei looks like an unreliable person when looked from his appearance, he is actually a person who always works hard, just like when he plays games. Because of his hard work when playing those games, the game's character becomes strong and eventually he can make millions of money.
While he was walking, he saw a billboard displayed on the streets, an advertisement promoting a game that operates with VR or Virtual-Reality technology.
"Fantasy Star, first anniversary launched-event?"
It advertises a one-year celebration of the release of a Role-Playing Game or abbreviated as RPG based on Virtual-Reality Full-Dive, the game is called Fantasy Star.
If you don't know what a Role-Playing Game is, it is a game where the player will play a role or play as a character, which can usually be created by ourself in a game.
"If I'm not mistaken, this game is pretty popular nowaday, and become a hot topic amongs people also on the game channel, huh."
Fantasy Star, from the beginning of the release of this one VRMMORPG game, they have managed to hook millions of players around the world in just one month. It is said, this game has very interesting features for an RPG game, such as the fantasy world views presented in the game, the cute monsters that accompany players and the feel in the virtual world almost feels like the real world, it can be said, the world Virtual Fantasy Star is the second world for gamers or people who just try the game and are finally addicted.
"Hmm, maybe I can make some money from this game by selling items or weapons."
In addition to the mechanism of the world and its game, game currency Fantasy Star has also become one of the cryptocurrency that is often used by people playing this game and also some of big company. This is what makes Fantasy Star managed to hook millions of players in just only one month, a feature that allows players to exchange game currency with real world currencies such as rupiah or dollar.
Ryuei had a chance to know a little information about the currency of the game that could be exchanged for real money, when he was still playing his favorite RPG game, before the game was closed because it lost competitiveness with VR-based games in this era.
"If I'm not mistaken, this game uses currency in the form of silver coins, and one coin if converted into rupiah is around 10 rupiah and about 0,00064 into dollar. Then, to make a withdrawal of money, it must have at least five thousand coins worth fifty thousand rupiah or three dollars."
Ryuei pondered about this again, about whether he should play this game to make money or better find a job that could give him an amount of money above five million in a single salary. To be sure, there was no work in the real world that suited him, because of his physique, which had long since shut himself up and not trained it, his stamina was so limited, it was impossible for him to do heavy work.
"Before that...."
Ryuei opened his phone and then searching for about the price of a VR-Gear FD tool that can play Fantasy Star or other VR Games. After finding it, and knowing the price is enough to make his head aching, the VR-Gear FD is sold at 24 million rupiah or around one thousand dollars. For the lower class it seems, the price is equivalent to their hard work for half a year working to make money, even if it they really works well.
"Twenty-four mi-mi-million?!"
We all know that a VR only priced about a hundred to three hundreds, but hey, this is not the same as that VR. It is an advanced of that, a VR which can make someone living in the world of the virtual, a Full-Dive version like a certain Japanese Popular Anime.
Ryuei felt as if his body had suddenly been crushed by an object with hundreds of kilograms in mass, he took a deep breath and exhaled repeatedly, trying to calm himself down.
"C-calm down!"
When he was calm, his phone that was being held was shaken, after being seen, it turns out he got an incoming message from someone. Ryuei opened the message and read it, the message says something like this, "Yo! How ya doin', man? Just fine, right?"
"What's the matter? Tell me your business?" Ryuei replied.
"Tsk, you're too stiff, man!" after the message, then followed by a sticker, and the next message, "By the way, are ya interested in playing Fantasy Star? That's the popular VR game."
"I know, I was just thinking about playing it. But the price...."
"HAHAHA!! What happen with the price?! Isn't i already transferred the money to yer account!"
"I have used the money to repay my parents' debt of 100 million, the rest is for my mother's care and my sister's and my family's living expenses."
"Means dat the money I sent only has 60 million left? That's still a lot, man! The VR price is only half of yer money left, and that's still around 30 million for yer mother's care expenses"
When Ryuei was about to send the next message, the person who was chatting with him said something shocking.
"Tell ya what, I'll give ya a VR-Gear FD, in return, ya'll join my team, how 'bout that? If ya're interested, just come to my team company, okay?"
Ryuei furrowed his brows, then replied to the message.
"Okay."
That person sent a sticker, before Ryuei turned off his phone then put it in his jacket pocket. Ryuei walked towards the hospital, the distance was not too far, only a few hundred meters. But, well, for Ryuei, that distance was far enough.
Arriving at his mother's room treated, Ryuei's face turned dark with breathless breathing.
"What is that with your face?" said Nina.
"I, I'm tired...."
His mother laughed seeing his son, while Nina seemed disturbed by her brother who was in a bad situation.
