Black Witch Log-in

28. Glad tidings

Erina asks Gilang about Minvers, if the game can be re-raised. Erina feels sorry for her sister who seems to have lost her purpose in life since Minvers can no longer play.

Gilang said if it was likely that Minvers could return to play, it was just that he did not know when it would happen. “Will I try to contact them.” said Gilang. Erina wonders who is referred to as ‘They’ by Gilang.

The next morning Retna said goodbye to her two daughters, she could not leave her position as head of the Ningrat family organization for too long. Together with Retna, Gilang also joined because he will work at Karathon.

“Momi... huueee..” Retna's departure is accompanied by Isak Hanna's crying.

Time passed quickly, not feeling a month had passed since Erina had done the mission to save Gilang. Day after day he passed with complete calm, no fighting or shooting that occurred during the past month.

Erina gets the vacation she hoped for. But in Erina's heart a feeling of longing for everything she did during the stint began to appear. “What will my ability decrease if I continue to live quietly like this?.” Erina started to worry if her strength weakened.

“No, I can't think about work while on vacation. I don't want to waste the vacation I've been waiting for two years.”

Trying to shift her mind to work, Erina started gardening. Behind his house was a large field filled with weeds. Using her grandfather's hoe, Erina tried to plow the land. But just one swing of the hoe was broken.

“I guessed it, it should have been put in the museum.” Erina said when she saw the iron on the hoe that was rusty and fragile. Not giving up on gardening, Erina picked up her bike and headed straight for the nearest market.

Arriving at the market Erina found many electronic stores that lower the price of virtual reality tools, it was caused by the termination of Minvers service which became the main purpose of people buying Vr gadgets.

“Ah shit. If only I had known Minvers would have closed suddenly like this, I would have sold all the Rft I had first.”

“Sama. if know this will happen I will sell all the items I have already got.”

Just entering an Erina mall was greeted by complaints from two employees of the shopping center. From the conversation Erina heard it can be known if both of them are Minvers players.

In addition to shopping for gardening equipment, Erina also bought a lot of seeds. “The back garden is quite spacious, I think planting vegetables, fruits and flowers will not be a problem.” Erina thought.

A few minutes of shopping Erina got everything she needed for gardening or rather opened a plantation because of the sheer number of items she bought.

He even needed to hire a delivery service because it was impossible to carry everything he bought using a motorbike.

Before he left the mall, I saw a young man who came out of the electronics store carrying a lot of virtual gear. 'What will he do with that useless Vgear?.' My mind is full of questions.

After thinking long enough Erina suddenly found something, “If Minvers can be played again surely the price of Vgear will go back up.” think to do business appears suddenly .

...****************...

Around four in the afternoon Hanna went home with Kiana. Both were surprised by the number of packages that were in front of the house. “All this Vgear. Why did you buy this tool so much?.” asked Hanna in confusion.

“Oh Hanna is home, and there is Kiana also” Erina who just from the back garden to welcome her sister home. “Sore kak.” reply Kiana.

Hanna again inquired about Vgear that Erina bought in bulk. His brother said it was just an investment. “So sure this will work, isn't there any news if Minvers will be back to play?.” Hanna was worried about the idea of her sister being too risky.

Due to the termination of Minvers service resulted in the price of Vgear dropped dramatically. It would be very profitable if the game that made Vgear widely used was back in operation, but it would backfire if there were no more virtual games like Minvers to play using the tool.

“Don't worry about that, I've got information if in the next week Minvers will be re-released.”

““Seriousness!.”” Hanna and Kiana shouted together. Erina just chuckled as she watched the two girls get excited by the news she just heard from him.

Erina gets information about Minvers directly from the creator of the game which is none other than Gilang's own cousin.

Hearing the information about Minvers made Hanna and Kiana began to think about investing with virtual gaming tools like Erina did. But given that the release time is still one week away, both of them chose to wait and hope the price of Vgear continues to fall so that their profits can be greater.

That afternoon along with Hanna and Kiana, Erina enjoyed the sunset on the back porch of the house. Hanna was surprised to see the back garden that was originally not maintained until it was filled with shrubs, now a plantation that had just been hijacked.

“Kakak actually plough land this size only using hoes?.” Hanna asked as if she could not believe that any human could do as her older sister did.

“Hemmm... You want to see me do it?.” Erina's lips smiled gently because the tea served by Hanna was delicious.

“So why did you start gardening, did you also want to open a vegetable and fruit store business?.” asked Kiana.

“No, I did that just to fill up the free time. Or maybe it can be said I was just being Gabut.” reply Erina who instantly made both of them speechless.

'He opened a plantation that might only be done by ten normal people in just one day just because of Gabut. It was amazing.' thought the two girls.

***

At night, the three had dinner together. Hanna and Kiana have several times checked the price of Vgear from various suppliers. They look so serious about starting their investment, that they both also invite other AFK guild members to start the business.

Hanna said if Minvers reopened then she hopes to rebuild AFK studio. That's why Hanna and her friends need a lot of money.

Although actually if Hanna wants her to be able to ask her mother for help then all the problems regarding funds will be resolved easily. But Hanna didn't do it because she wanted to start her own business without relying on the strength of her family.

***

A week has passed but there has been no news about the opening of the Minvers game server. The four AFK studio members began to worry if the information they got from Erina turned out to be fake.

They don't know what they used Vgear for. It filled the large warehouse they had rented because the number had reached tens of thousands of units.

Prasetyo the figure behind Avatar Setyo, the young man was almost crazy because he owed a lot to the leech in order to buy a lot of Vgear. Hanna who saw her friend like that became so pitiful, but there was nothing that could be done.

Rice has become porridge, they think everything that has happened cannot be changed. The price of Vgear is decreasing, but no one wants to buy it. Perhaps the last effort they could make was just selling all the Vgear they had to the junkyard salesman.

While everyone was depressed because of economic problems, Erina came up with her face. “Why are you so moody as if you just saw this country destroyed?.” that question was immediately answered with a pointed and disappointed look from the four.

Erina was basic with what was experienced by them, she just chuckled lightly facing the situation. Seeing that Erina didn't feel any guilt made Prasetyo and Kiana angry, but before saying anything Erina said...

“Have you guys seen the latest game premiere that made the internet splash?.”

Hearing Erina's question everyone stared at each other. Slowly the light of hope returned to shine in them, soon the four opened social media and saw what was going on.

As Erina said, the internet is currently being horrendous with the latest virtual game promotion videos. It had only been half an hour since the video was uploaded by Ningrat.corp but it had already seen over ten million people.

Seeing the video footage makes Hanna and her friends feel relieved and happy because maybe the investment they started will bear sweet fruit.

“Hahaha..” Erina laughed at the four, “You are still children, very impatient. Are you sure you don't need adults as mentors of the company you're building?.”

They could only remain silent, the memory of the failure to build AFK studio came back to their minds.
