Chapter 6: Getting to work
Lunchtime didn't last long, and John's memory had completely integrated, as if he had personally experienced those events. This gave John a sudden illusion: was he in a game in a virtual world in his previous life?
After lunch, special robots naturally cleaned up the table.
John watched curiously, thinking to himself that even babysitting jobs had been replaced by robots. No wonder so many people were immersed in the virtual world; otherwise, they wouldn't find anything to do. He was about to go upstairs to return to his room officially to design his first game.
At that moment, his father, Michael, stopped him. "John, how is your game going? Your mother said you already have an idea?"
John turned around helplessly, noticing Michael had just taken freshly brewed tea from another robot. His mouth twitched slightly as he replied, "Well, I just had an idea. It'll take a few days to finish."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
With only five people in the family, there was no need to avoid topics, so Michael asked directly.
"John, do you really know what you're doing? Tell me quickly," Lily's crisp voice chimed in first.
That's right, their focus was on the "Second World."
Speaking of this, John needed to mention Michael's identity—he was the leader of Seaside City.
The Dragon Kingdom was the most powerful country on Canglan Planet, and Seaside City belonged to Eastflower Province, one of its seven major provinces, under Michael's leadership.
As his eldest son, Adam, not only inherited his good looks but also excelled in virtual gaming.
As for Lily, she was still a college student, so she didn't have many opportunities to showcase her abilities.
As for John, he had just graduated this year and took on the task of "Creating a virtual game world" from the state.
"Second World" was currently the most popular virtual world, with everything in it updated in real-time with reality. This time, John's task was to add new elements to it and test the world's limits.
John walked over with a smile, grabbed Lily's braid, and said, "What can you do, you little girl who hasn't finished her studies yet?"
Then he looked at Michael and said, "Don't worry, Dad. They thought they were tricking me, but this is my chance."
This task was taken before John crossed over, meaning it was the task this world's John had taken on by himself. If John hadn't crossed over, the result could be imagined. Apparently, Michael and the others only knew about it after john had already accepted it. There was no need to think about tricks.
It was nothing more than some people worried John would follow Adam's path and their family would become more powerful, so they wanted to set him up.
"Anyway, there's no rush. The deadline is one month. There are still more than ten days. I can make a rough version in a few days. When the time comes, I'll let you try it first, and then you'll know."
John rejected Adam's offer with a wry smile. John was afraid that if his father or brother intervened, then they could easily help him get rid of this task to make a virtual game, but that would also result in him losing this golden opportunity to showcase his abilities.
"Okay, okay, I'm going upstairs!"
After speaking, John hurried upstairs without giving the family members a chance to speak.
Grace was about to say something, but Michael stopped her. His mouth twitched a few times for no reason as he said calmly, "This kid has never wanted to follow in my footsteps since he was a child. Let him go, regardless of whether he has ideas or not."
"Well, that's the only way."
With such an excellent brother like Adam, John naturally felt a lot of pressure from him since childhood. Grace sighed, thinking it was best for John to follow in their footsteps, with Michael and Adam taking care of him.
Back in his room, John quickly turned on the computer.
The information of "Second World" had long been saved on the computer, but it was only for the Seaside City area. John's task was to update and transform the Seaside City area.
"Let's start! System, copy the data of 'Second World' into it."
"Ding~ Copying is complete."
With a thought, John sat quietly on the chair, and his mind entered the virtual space again.
At this time, there was a portal-like space hole in the virtual space, which led to the virtual world of the "Second World."
John's task was to design and create Pokémon and put them into this virtual world without fancy operations.
"Number 001, Bulbasaur...."
After watching for a while, John looked away and officially started creating Pokémon.
Whispering a word, in this pure white space of unknown size and orientation, countless symbolic codes suddenly became agitated, all rushing towards John and instantly wrapping him like a giant egg.
And John, as the master of this space, directed these symbolic codes and combined them together in mysterious arrangements one after another.
It looked very impressive, but in fact, it was just a boring process.
