It's been three weeks Faiz at home. He has not also tired of lingering in front of the computer lcd in his room. If you don't practice or participate in online games that were later categorized as part of E-Sport, Faiz said he was exploring the universe of the metaverse. I don't know what that means. Ritha never understood. For the sake of guessing what was in the head of her son, Ritha even found out a lot about the universe of metaverse on the internet. His days are now much seized to find out about the latest developments in cyberspace. The more information that lay in his mind Ritha was even more confused. According to him, the information on the internet is too much, complicated and rowdy. It is difficult to find information that can really be accounted for. To digest and test the truth of the information it obtains from the internet, Ritha needs a lot of trusted media affirmations and in-depth analysis. It's not easy.
Every generation has a unique culture that reflects their generation. To understand the child's thinking, parents must first understand how the world is. Do not judge a guilty child. It could be, parents just do not understand the way of his mind. The difference in thinking of parents and children is often caused by differences in mindset as a result of the development of science and culture. That was why Ritha felt the need to find out Faiz's world in order to understand what kind of universe the metaverse was in the child's head. His grandfather and father called the boy visionary. Did ya? Maybe Faiz was just mostly imaginary.
Clik. Once opened the search about the metaverse, which appeared is popular news about Ghozali Everyday who suddenly rich because it managed to sell NFT in the form of personal selfie photos from day to day for several years. The Ritha NFT is a unique and certified form of digital art. It may be some kind of digital container for the work on the artist or artist. It is difficult to determine the value of a work of art. Today it is no longer a famous maestro painting such as Leonardo Davinsi's Monalisa which is in demand by the rich to be used as a collection as well as investment, but ordinary student selfies can be sold with fantastic value. I don't know who the collector who admires the photo that Ritha said was ordinary as a work of art or a private collection item. Ritha thought it was a strange phenomenon, difficult to digest the logic. Art cannot be judged by logic.
Another thing that makes it inexhaustible is that people in cyberspace create krypto money or bitcoin as a means of payment. The exchange rate can vary based on market demand like the dollar or other foreign currencies in forex (Foreign exchange) transactions. Does the metaverse shape the shadow world? Anything that exists in the real world may be created duplicates in cyberspace. Or is the metaverse just a pseudo-world created for desperate people in the real world?
Argh. Ritha was unable to continue her search. Rather than getting confused, it is better to end the search. There's no point in guessing. Ritha must execute a new strategy, find out by observing for herself what her child is doing.
Ritha has asked security technicians to change the home's security settings where her fingerprints are programmed to have access to open and close all doors in her home, including Faiz's room. Of course because he needs to keep an eye on his troubled son's activities up close. Really not physically distant in order to create a closer inner closeness. At least Ritha still believed in her world. Mother's embrace in the real world will not be replaced with artificial comfort in cyberspace. Ritha was sure of that. Your child needs more attention and affection.
Chequek. The door to the room is open. Faiz turned his head and looked at him with a displeased look. His privacy must have been disrupted by his mother's presence. But the boy did not speak. He is still focused on looking at the big lcd screen in front of him to work with his team to win the game.
“Down just want to watch, Iz.” he said slowly.
Faiz just glanced. The tail of his eyes still gave off an unpleasant look.
Maybe he's just not used to it. Ritha strengthened her heart to stay with her son.
Warfight. A game similar to the one Ritha saw in her dorm room a few weeks ago. Bombs, weapons, war equipment, bloodshed, fire, destroyed buildings and all the violence of war still dominate the situation created by the presence of the game. It really is like a battleground. But swearing and harsh words are rarely heard anymore. Instead there was the voice of someone who served as the leader who set the war strategy and directed the player to act according to the situation. Maybe in the real world that person is a military general. If the analogy is so, Ritha so curious what position Faiz in the team? Navy, air or land commander? If it is analogous to the battle of Bharatayudha, what is the position of Faiz as a warrior bouncer like Bima, an accomplished archer like Arjuna or a great swordsman like Nakula Sadewa? Ritha was busy wondering at heart about her son's role in the war team.
The sound of bombs, the sound of weapons, and the cries of people who scream in pain still sound heartbreaking to Ritha who does not like to be in a frenzied situation of war. Heart's sliced. Ritha likes a peaceful world. But for the sake of Faiz Ritha still forced herself to be in that room. It takes a strong heart to accompany the activities of his son and find out what exactly Faiz wants with the concept of the metaverse that he buzzed as an excuse to ignore the school. Maybe his ears and feelings will long be immune to listening to those sounds. Let's just say it's a mental exercise if suddenly he has to be in a war situation, at least it's mentally prepared. Painful but must be lived.
Ritha tried to adjust. The trick is to imagine himself as a red cross volunteer who helps the victims of the war. That role was the most suitable for him when he was on the battlefield. He realized forever it is impossible to be a hero because it does not have a killing instinct. His heart is softly full of love. Simply become a red cross volunteer who helps anyone who is injured regardless of which camp.
The Faiz mattress he was sitting on was actually soft but uncomfortable. Sleep is no longer relaxing. Especially if it is not his heart that is restless over the actions of a very stubborn teenage boy. Ritha felt as a mother that she had to make sure her son was on the right path. Every mother will definitely think like it and be willing to do things she does not like for the sake of the child.
An hour passed, the game ended with a victory in the Faiz team.
“Celebration, please!” shouted the general who somehow seemed to.
“We are the champion.” All the members of the compact team called for the same sentence. No exception Faiz.
A flat screech was also pronounced Faiz before opening the headset especially sophisticated. The headset features a soft-vibration speaker and state-of-the-art three-dimensional glasses. Ritha used a similar headset to watch movies. With multi-dimensional images and active speakers that are sensitive to various sounds, moviegoers feel in the atmosphere and place of the character. It really looks real.
“Have the match finished?”
“Already.”
“Win?”
“Tomple the match again?”
“Yes. Faiz has already said that the tournament is a month full.”
Ritha swallowed her saliva. Should he accompany his son continuously for a whole month in this way? If yes, is he capable?
“Mother why enter Faiz room?”
“You watch the tournament. Your tournament is anyone who watches no.”
“Many watched, Bun. Mother if you want to watch live watch streaming on the website war universe legend at 3 pm. Re-broadcast at 10pm.”
“Many where with the football tournament audience?”
“Sama many. Maybe even more.”
“You feel like the equivalent of a world football star like CR 7 dong.”
Faiz smiled proudly without a word.
Maybe that's what makes him put online games first rather than school. With his position now as the youngest professional player, he certainly has his own pride. Moreover, many fans confuse him. Countless times Ritha heard the support of supporters who cheered her famous name “Baby F”
“What reward will you get if you win that tournament?”
“Call and money.”
“The first is NFT?”
Faiz nodded in confirming. The cup is just a virtual image that cannot be held. Ritha is still wondering why the concept of NFT can be attached to the children of today's generation. Their world is only limited to information, pseudo.
“The money is in the form of bitcoin or krypto?”
Again the boy nodded.
“What's in it to have krypto money? Can you eat krypto? Can you buy clothes, house or vehicle too?”
“Can, Bun.”
