MMORPG : Ancient WORLD - #51 - 51 New VR Capsule
“Alex, You should ask for the money whenever you need it.” Alex’s father said after he sent him the money.
‘The one small problem is solved, and now I just need to get the health pods quickly and cure Sophia’s disease.’ Alex thought, seeing his little sister eagerly wanting to ask something.
“Big brother Alex, you have a lot of money. Give me some for school,” Sophia asked.
“How much money do you want?”
“Give me One hundred,” Sophia said excitedly after doing high-level math on her fingers.
“I would transfer it to a school card. You could spend it with your friends in the cafeteria.” Alex’s reply put a big smile on Sophia.
“Big Brother Alex, You are the best.” Sophia was excited and making plans to spend the extra money she got.
“Mom, The Government Health Hospital got a new, advanced MRI Machine. You should go there and have a health checkup, and when you go, take Sophia with you and have her checked as well.”
Alex made an excuse so Sophia could have a health check, so hopefully, things didn’t become as bad as they did in his past life.
“We both already had our monthly health check one week ago, and everything was ok, so I don’t see the reason to waste money.” Alex’s mother replied.
“It’s an advanced version of MRI, so the government is doing free checkups to collect accurate data, and doing a simple checkup won’t hurt, so please go and have a proper checkup,” Alex said to convince his mother.
“Mom, you and Sophia should go to the hospital for a simple checkup, and on the way back, you could do some shopping,” Alex said, knowing that every woman likes to do the shopping and his mother was no different.
“It’s an advance technology, so It is reasonable to have a proper health checkup using it.”
‘I just need to ask the doctor to ensure my mother doesn’t get the true report if the advance MRI discovered any disease in Sophia.’ Alex thought after hearing his mom agree to a proper health checkup.
“Mom, I am going outside for a while to buy the latest version of VR Capsule, and on the way, I will make a registration for your health checkup at the hospital,” Alex said, leaving his house to get himself a proper VR Capsule.

After leaving home, Alex took a cab to the city’s biggest VR Mall, where he could find every kind of VR capsule ranging from his crappy four thousand dollar capsule to the latest J_210, a One hundred and twenty thousand dollar capsule.
‘How much resources did the government spend to build this giant crystal dome mall in three months?’ Alex thought, standing outside the mall.
After admiring the mall’s beauty, Alex entered it and navigated to the area with the Premium VR capsule.
The premium mall section was filled with many shops selling different Game related accessories, but Alex didn’t need any of them, so he just entered the biggest shop that sold VR capsules.
The shop was filled with VR capsules, and after seeing them, Alex felt like he was a kid in a candy shop.
The VR capsules in the shop had many over-the-top modifications done to their appearance; some Vr capsules have a sick-looking paint job and intricate designs made using gold and diamonds.
The Capsule’s appearance didn’t give any extra performance, but it definitely looked incredible, even though Alex liked things to be simple butt after he saw a VR capsule that he felt was made just for him.
‘I am buying this beauty.’ Alex thought, standing near a glass case and staring at his future VR capsule.
The VR Capsule was made with a Mat Black body with Black diamonds covering the whole body with intricate designs, and there was a big eagle in the middle made using red rubies, giving the VR capsule breathtaking beauty.
“Sir, You look interested in this one-of-a-kind J_210 Royal RED Eagle.” Alex heard a sweet voice from his right side.
“A fitting Name for a masterpiece. How much will it cost me to own this Royal Eagle,” Alex looked to his side and asked the price of the VR Capsule.
“Sir, It’s Only Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars.” The Shop lady replied with a professional smile, not giving Alex any cringy crap about his poor-looking clothes.
“……..”
‘It’s Six times more expensive than the actual price.’ Alex wanted to ask the price again, but he knew better not to if he didn’t want to hear a cringy dialogue.
“I will buy it.” After hearing Alex reply, the sales lady was shocked, but a naturally beautiful smile quickly replaced it.
‘What’s the point of earning money If I don’t buy the thing that I like.’ Alex didn’t care about money as he knew greed for money would lead to nothing.
“Can you guide me through the payment process?” Alex asked.
After Alex followed the sales lady to the shop’s front desk to pay for his purchase, he decided to add nutrition fluids that would help in a long period of playing the game.
“Please change the basic nutrition fluids of the VR capsule to the best one you have available and send three extra sets to my address with the VR Capsule.”
“Sir, your total cost is Seven hundred and sixteen thousand dollars.” The sales lady said.
After Alex bought what he wanted, he paid the money, and it took only a short time to complete the transaction successfully.
“Sir Alex, We will deliver the VR Capsule to your address in two hours.”
Alex did some shopping in the mall, buying Sportswear because he planned to join a gym, and after getting everything he needed, he left the mall toward the hospital.

“I want to have a private meeting with the doctor who examines the patient’s reports of the new MRI Scan Machine,” Alex said to the hospital Medical Receptionist.
“Sir, Dr.Elmer is very busy checking MRI Scan reports of the patients, so I can’t arrange any meeting.” The lady replied, not even looking at Alex.
“I know Dr.Elmer is very busy, but can you please arrange a five-minute meeting with him,” Alex said, but this time he placed a white envelope in front of the lady.
“I will arrange a meeting with Dr.Elmer immediately.” The receptionist replied with a bright smile after she checked the envelope.
‘Money is good if you have a lot of it.’ The envelope Alex gave the lady had one thousand dollars, saving him hours of wait.
“Sir, Dr. Elmer’s office is on the second floor, and thanks for the generous gift.” The lady said after talking to someone on the phone.

“Young man, what can I do for you?” Dr. Elmer asked Alex.
“I need your help to hide some information,” Alex replied.
“You know to hide and misuse patient information is illegal, and I could lose my job.” Dr. Elmer said, not looking happy.
“My Little sister will be coming to this hospital tomorrow for an MRI Scan, and if any abnormality is discovered in the MRI Scan, I want you to hide it from my mother.”
Alex explained the information he wanted the doctor to hide before he made a wild theory and kicked him out of his office.
“Why would I hide information from your mother if your little sister’s life could be in danger.”
“I want you to hide the information from my mother for one day, and that’s if my little sister’s MRI Scan has any abnormality,” Alex replied.
“I will do it.” Dr. Elmer agreed to Alex’s request but still has some of his own conditions.
Dr. Elmer asked what kind of symptoms Sophia was showing to convince him that something may come wrong with the MRI Scan, and Alex just told him that he just had a gut feeling.
Dr. Elmer told Alex that if the MRI Scan report had any serious issues, he would tell his mother and not hide the information.
——————–
After Convincing Dr. Elmer to call him first if anything did come wrong with the MRI Scan, Alex left the hospital for his last stop for today.
Alex made his last stop at a professional athlete gym near his house, and after paying for a one-year membership, he returned home waiting for his new VR capsule to arrive.
After waiting forty minutes, the shop guys came with his new VR capsule, and after removing his previous one, they installed the new VR capsule in a matter of minutes.
Alex didn’t need to worry about his old VR capsule as the shop guys took it with them for a little extra charge as they would drop it at a refurbished establishment run by the government.
Alex’s mother did ask him about how much the VR capsule cost as the Capsule’s appearance was nothing like normal and looked expensive, but Alex lied, saying those diamonds were fake and just a stunt by the manufacturer to sell more units.
“I should sleep for a couple of hours before logging in to the game.” Alex was mentally exhausted from meeting people in the game and the real world.
