Chapter 4 Booming Business

• ~ Emerald Kindergarten ~
• It was time for lunchtime in the kindergarten. A fat boy hurriedly rushed towards one of the students in the class.
• "Look at this, Asher." The boy pulls out a bottle of nutrients solution. "This is the new nutrients solution my dad bought for me. I heard it taste so sweet, so I'll share it with you."
• "I won't share your food with you today, Ayaan." Asher shook his head.
• "Why? The nutrients solution you always bring taste bland. Come, let share it together."
• "It's not that I don't want your food, but my sister prepare lunch for me, and it's so good. Here, let me show you." Asher reached into his lunch bag, and brought out the food Sylvia made for him. "See." Asher opened it after placing it on the table.
• "Wahhh!" Ayaan mouth was agape in surprise. "This looks so good."
• "Hmmm." Asher nodded. "My sister made them for me. Come, let's eat together. I should have some extra spoon."
• Due to Ayaan loud exclamation, some students turned over to look, and when they saw Asher opened lunchbox, they couldn't help salivating.
• "Wow. Asher, your sister is so good."
• "It's smells great."
• "Can I also join you? I'll give you my nutrients solution."
• "It's all belongs to me and Asher." Ayaan declared. "Hey Calvin, don't you always say bad things about Asher. Now you want to eat his food."
• Calvin couldn't refute Ayaan claims. It was true that he doesn't like Asher, but the food Asher sister made looks great. "I'm sorry, Asher. I won't say bad things about you any longer, so forgive me. I'll share my nutrients solution with you."
• "Bah, who want your nutrient solution." Ayaan scorn.
• Asher was at loss of what to say. Asher knew Calvin didn't like him, now that the other party was asking for forgiveness, he felt as if all this was a dream.
• "Hum… I forgive you but, the food my sister gave me could only suffice me and Ayaan. I'll ask my sister if she could cook more tomorrow, then everyone can all eat. Okay."
• Everyone agreed to Asher plan and went back to their seat.
• "Who know one day that Calvin that bully, would ask for forgiveness. Your sister is so great." Ayaan said.
• Yeah. My sister is the best. Asher agreed internally.
• Back at the Austen’s Vila, Sylvia climbed into the pod meant for logging into the Star virtual net, but this time she chose to create a new appearance.
• "Creating a new account. Do you wish to change your appearance or you wish to go into the virtual net with your current appearance?"
• "Change appearance." There might be some people who might recognize the original owner therefore, Sylvia didn't want any trouble.
• Although there's a huge change in attitude between her and the original owner, she still decides to play it safe.
• "Please visualize the appearance you want. Note: it mustn't be same to other people appearance."
• There were some people who will want to use some celebrity appearance, so the system warned.
• Sylvia wasn't sure if the face she was familiar with back on earth also exist here. But she still went ahead and visualize an idol star back from earth, who was only famous for his looks, and not talent.
• "Changing appearance. It's found that the bearer mental strength is too low. Portaling to the Z zone."
• In the Z zone, a very handsome man appeared out of thin air. Several girls who passed by, saw the man and blushed.
• "So, this is the Z zone." Yeah, the young man was Sylvia herself. Sylvia walked forward, taking in to the view surrounding her.
• If she hadn't known that this was a virtual world, she would have thought she was in another world.
• [Host, host, where are we?]
• An excited voice belonging to a boy rang in Sylvia's ear.
• The boy voice belongs to Susu, who just changed his gender from the mechanical setting.
• "It's called the Star virtual net." She answered the curious AI system.
• Although this was the lowest zone in the virtual net, the population of the people here was very high.
• There were several shops, game stations and houses set up here.
• Sylvia opened the forum on the virtual net to read some information on how to opened a shop.
• She found out that she could purchase shops directly on the net, so she clicked on the purchase shop icon and a little robot projector popped up from the screen.
• "Hello, newcomer. I'm ADG34577. I'll be your AI to guide you along. Do you wish to purchase a shop? Please enter the location you wish your shop to be situated."
• Sylvia wasn't knowledgeable about this virtual net yet, so she didn't know what location to enter.
• Just as she was pondering of what to say, the excited voice rang in her ear once again.
• [Host, host. Let me hack into this system. I've been working on my hacking skills ever since I upgraded. So let me try it out, host]
• "Would there be any repercussion?" Sylvia asked.
• [Not at all. If I do fail, I'll only be bounce back by the current, so rest assure host.]
• Since there was nothing to lose, Sylvia agreed to Susu request. Susu then started hacking the system.
• The AI eye suddenly dimmed. And in a certain planet, the alarm in the company suddenly blared.
• "What's wrong?"
• An engineer suddenly rushed towards the system, and checked the data, but didn't find any abnormalities.
• "There's nothing wrong with the data. Seems like the alarm went off by itself."
• "It's just a glitch from the system." One of the workers said. "Isn't this the fifth time this will happened without anything wrong with the data systems."
• "Let's report to the higher up. Looks like the system has gotten old and start to malfunction. It's time to change to a new one."
• "I'll inform the captain then."
• [I succeeded, host]
• The dimmed system suddenly lit up. Rather than the mechanical voice, the voice coming was that of Susu's voice.
• "Good job. I'll reward you with a beast core energy once we made some money." Sylvia said in a way of praising a pet.
• [I'll continue to work hard host.]
• "Find me an affordable shop to buy on the virtual net."
• [Okay, host.]
• Susu found Sylvia some places and she select one out of them. The money for ten years rent was deducted from Sylvia account.
• Since it was a shop from the Z zone, it price was very cheap.
• Sylvia vanished from her spot, and appeared in front of her newly rented shop.
• The place wasn't that big, but it was okay. And also, the traffic flow rate passing by was good.
• Sylvia pushed opened the door and entered the shop. She also didn't forget to send the shop coordinate to uncle Mike, and got to business.
• The sign on the shop banner was changed to 'Creamery Creamer'. She was going to make snacks. All the process was left to Susu, who purchased the materials on the net, and start preparing them with the robot.
• After the sample of the first products were made, She took a picture of them and post it on the virtual net forum, using some coins to promote them.
• [Come and get your mouth-watering ice cream, cupcakes, pastries, juice, popcorn… in varieties.]
• Sylvia also put down the coordinate of the shop.
• Because of the promotion and the mouthwatering picture, the post soon reaches a thousand comment in a minute.
• [No way this is true]
• [This is to fake to believe. Hey poster, how did you draw such a good thing. I'm salivating right now with the realistic picture]
• [Is this true?]
• [I'm quite close to the coordinate the poster left. I'll go and take a look. If this is true and I'll kneel and call the poster father]
• [This is a lie]
• [I don't believe this]
• [I'll also take a look]
• [Me too]
• [If the poster dare lies, we'll report him to the authorities]
• Although, the comments weren't going for a better turn, Sylvia was very satisfied with the turnover of people who were coming out of curiosity. And like that, the shop welcome it first customer, then ten, hundreds and thousands.
• [Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! This is fucking true. I just bought the chocolate ice cream, and it's delicious as hell]
• [I also had the chocolate ice cream with two cherry cupcakes. I'm going back for more]
• [I never thought I would see something as good as this in the Z zone. This is so cheap to be true.]
• [The shop owner is also handsome. Kiss, kiss, kiss.]
• [Hey upstairs, I agree with you]
• [You all stop hyping a fake thing. The poster must have paid you to type this. I'm going to report this to the administrator]
• However, the administrator reply was this 'Fancy dance, our technology reviewed your report on AXL post, we decided not to take the post down. We take action on post that are misleading or harmful to the people. Thanks so much for your contribution'
• [Fuck, it's not false]
• [Anyone who has a picture of the shop owner should please upload]
• [I do. Here you go]
• [(*꒦ິ³꒦ີ) I'm fucking in tears right now. So good looking.]
• [How great would it be then to see him in person. I'm going]
• [Upstairs, take me along with you please]
• [I'm literally making him my male god]
• Sylvia who had no idea that the face of the idol she used had gotten a wave of recognition, was busy attending to the stream line of customers that never seems to end.
• "Thanks for patronizing 'Creamery Creamer'."
• "Please do come again."
• "Yes, it's cheap because we want the best for our customer."
• "Thanks for your compliment."
• "Only one picture, and don't forget to take a picture of the shop sign and post it on the net."
• Sylvia mouth almost went dry from all the talk. If this wasn't a virtual net, she would have died of exhaustion.
• The line was never ending, and she was tired.
• "I'm leaving. I'll leave it all to you."
• [Okay, host]
• Sylvia logged out of the Star virtual net, and a projection of her made by Susu, replaced her.
• None of the people knew that the real Sylvia had logged out, as this was one of Susu's skills after upgrade.
