"Come, this is your new home for probably the next 3 years of university," Hannah said as she opened the door in the hallway outside of the elevator. Alex walked inside to see another door to his front and two smaller doors to his either side.
"These are for shoes and coats, don't worry about them and come on it," Hannah said as she opened the actual door to the house. Alex walked inside and saw a massive lounge room with white walls and gray sofas. There was a big TV in the middle of the room above the fireplace.
'No wonder it costs $10,000 a month. But still, isn't that a lot?' he wondered. "Come, I will show you the other rooms," she said as she walked towards another small corridor. There were 2 doors on either side and she opened one of them.
"This will be your room from now on."
Alex walked in a saw a massive room with light blue walls. The room was about the size of his dorm room, but instead of 4 different people, only he was going to stay there now.
The room, however, was all but empty and only had a closet in it. "No bed?" he asked.
"No. This room used to be used by the first girl that lived here, and she took everything in here when she left. We wanted to put a bed in here, but since no one was staying, we laid it off until someone came along."
"We can go buy one today. I'm free all day," Hannah said.
"It's okay sister. Actually, I don't even know if I will be needing a bed in the first place, since they will be releasing capsules next week where we can sleep all we want," Alex said.
"Don't be silly. Sleeping in a bed, and sleeping in a capsule are two entirely different things. You absolutely need a bed," Hannah reprimanded her little cousin.
"Alright sister, if you say so." Alex just accepted her words as truth and didn't go on further about getting just the capsule.
"Okay, keep your luggage there and come eat some breakfast. You must be hungry," she said as she headed back out. Beyond the lounge area was a half-open room, which was the kitchen.
Hannah put some bread in the toaster and started frying some eggs. Alex happily ate all of that. After they finished the breakfast, Hannah proceeded to show him more of the house.
About 10 minutes later, she finally stopped when her phone got a notification. She picked up her phone and smiled when she saw what was in it. Alex was curious as to what could make his cousin smile like that but refrained from asking. If she deemed it important, she would tell him herself.
'Her phone looks quite good. I should probably buy myself one as well.' Although the phone he currently had was a birthday present, it was a cheap model and was thus quite slow.
' I should get myself a laptop as well,' he thought. After learning that he could complete his first semester of university without requiring a laptop, he had decided to buy it later.
That later was now. 'What else do I need? Let's see… a bed, a VR helmet, a phone, a laptop, maybe some clothes as well.'
"I have something to do for a few minutes. Why don't you go watch TV or something? I will come back, and we can go shopping," Hannah said and left Alex alone in the living room.
Alex stayed behind and watched TV for quite a while. Since he had nothing else to do, he just switched the channels over and over, until he landed on a news channel with a flashing headline.
Alex read the headline and thought, 'should I set a reminder so that I catch it?'
"Hey, are you ready?" Hannah suddenly appeared.
"Oh yeah, I'm ready to go anytime," Alex said and got up.
"Okay, let's leave." They both got out of the house and Hannah locked the doors. "Oh yeah, keep this." She handed him a key. "This is the key to the house. You should keep it for now," she said.
"Do we have to take a cab?" Alex asked.
"No, the market is right around the corner, we can just walk there," Hannah replied. "What do you need exactly other than the bed?" she asked. Alex relayed everything he had thought of buying earlier.
"Oh wow. You really want to buy so much huh? Thankfully, your big sister is rich and she can buy you anything," Hannah said with a smug face.
"Oh, have Aunt and Uncle been sending you money?" he asked.
"No silly. I'm talking about my own money. I have already told them that I don't need their money anymore since I have a lot of it," Hannah said.
"You have a job, sister?" he asked. He had never heard of his sister working during the last 2 times they had met.
"No. I am making money from the game." Hannah seemed quite proud.
Alex was surprised. "You make money from the game too, sister?" he asked.
Hannah looked towards him with a curious look and asked," What do you mean 'too'? Do you earn money too?" she asked.
"Yeah, I've been making pills in the game that I later sell to auctions. I have sold it a few times and was able to accumulate quite a bit of money," he said.
"Not bad. Making money in this game is quite easy, so you shouldn't have a lot of problems with it," Hannah said. But then she thought about something and said," Actually, maybe it's just me that got really lucky, and making money isn't that hard. How much money have you even made till now?"
Alex thought for a second as to whether saying it was a good thing or not, but since she was his sister, he decided to say it.
"I have managed to make about 25 thousand dollars by now. I should have some increments from my earning tomorrow," he said.
