Chương 57: The Newbie Druid

***Another Player POV, one week before game launch***

Hóngsè Rì-Chū was a young Chinese living in Beijing. He was in high school in his senior year and loved video games.

When he saw the new game from Evo-Gaming coming out, he begged his parents to buy him the new VR helmets. His family was well off, so they agreed, as long as his grades stayed good.

He was ecstatic, but he made sure to never let go of his studies. When the release date was finally upon him, he reminded his parents and they did as promised.

With the new game installed on his helmet, he felt overexcited, but couldn't play until he had done his studies and homework.

He sped through them, thinking only about gaming in this seemingly new genre of games. The entire work took more time than he would have liked, and he ended up not starting the game until a few hours after the launch.
