Chapter 2: Foxy pet
"We are here. I can’t go any further than this young lady." The taxi driver parked the car and held out his hand for his money.
Chi Lian had not even noticed that they were now in her neighborhood. The smell of urine and cigarettes was dominant in the air.
The taxi driver held his hand over his nose and frowned. Clearly, he was very unhappy to be here.
She pulled out her only money left in the world and paid. She had only sixty Yuan left now.
The annoying voice in her head had yet to shut up. "Activate your virtual pet, activate your virtual pet, activate your...."
"Please shut up!!" she pleaded but to no avail. As she walked to her home while jumping urine and water filled puddles she longed to pull the stupid creature that was causing so much carnage inside her head out and smacking it.
"Activate your virtual pet, activate your..."
Out of anger and frustration, she replied, "No."
"Huh." The voice was shocked.
"If you don’t activate me, you will die." It said.
She paused her walking. She had already experienced one death. She was not too eager to experience another one so soon. She wanted to make money and enjoy everything she had missed out on in her previous life.
