The boy in the hospital bed wears a transparent helmet, and a smartphone-sized card reader flashes yellow light on the bedside.
The girl in supermarket uniform took out the gold magnetic card from her bag and inserted it into the card reader. The yellow light turned green.
"Doctor, can my brother really create a character in 'Destiny' and move around at will?" the girl asked.

The doctor next to him nodded and said:
"There are already successful cases in the capital. Although your brother has been in a vegetative state for three years, his brain wave status has been maintained well. He is very hopeful of entering 'fate'. Moreover, if he moves in 'fate', he can also increase his energy.
It’s more likely that he’ll wake up.”
As he spoke, the transparent helmet the boy wore appeared as blue as the sky.
The doctor quickly recorded the data of the instruments next to him with a pen in his notebook, and said with a smile:
"It seems that it has been successful. You have another chance to talk to your brother."
The girl shook her head and said bitterly:
"I still have to work to make money, so I probably won't have much chance to meet my brother in the game. But..."
She grabbed the boy's hand, smiled, with tears in her eyes, and said:
"As long as my brother can still feel the joy of being alive, that's fine... Nothing makes me happier than this."

"Confirm the content of the information card, name: Su Ming, ID number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, adult."
"Welcome to the world of destiny, please name your game character."
Su Ming opened his eyes and saw a magical scene.
Clouds and mist were rolling all around, and there were white marble buildings in the clouds and mist. However, these buildings had collapsed, but their exquisiteness could still be felt.
A little elf with two pairs of transparent wings was flying around Su Ming. It was this little guy who spoke just now.
"Is this the 'fate' that my sister said? It's so true." Su Ming walked around in the clouds, touching the ruins in the mist, and his thoughts returned to three years ago.
That year, he was going to take the high school entrance examination. When he was crossing the road, he saw a car speeding towards a girl. He ran over and pushed the girl away with all his strength. As a result, he was hit and turned into a vegetative state.
From then on, his consciousness remained the same as Hu Hu's, and he could only occasionally hear his sister's murmurs.
"Destiny" is a virtual game, and it is something that my sister has been talking about a lot in the past month. She has long wanted Su Ming to try it, but Su Ming was underage at the time, and there were a lot of restrictions on entering the game, including having children.
The guardian takes the child to register so that the minor can enter the game within the time specified by the parents.
Su Ming is in a vegetative state, so naturally he cannot go to the site for operation. However, yesterday, Children's Day, he celebrated his 18th birthday and officially became an adult legally.
Su Ming probably knew that this was a newly launched virtual game that even a vegetative person like him could play.
Su Qiaoqiao was worried that Su Ming would not be able to enter the game when she was mumbling on the bedside. Now it seems that the effect is very good and she can play normally.
The joy of rebirth surged in his heart.
"This is 'fate', my second life."
"Please name your game character." The elf followed Su Ming and reminded her again.
Su Ming thought: Since he is a vegetable, he might as well choose a name related to plants.
He thought for a while and said:
"spore."
"Name confirmed, Spore #4432 character created."
In front of Su Ming, an oval full-length mirror appeared. In the mirror, he was wearing civilian clothes, his face was green and clean, and he still had a childish look.
After becoming a vegetative state, his development also became very slow, so that his current appearance is almost unchanged from three years ago.
"I have become a vegetative state in the past few years, and I don't seem to have grown any taller..."
Su Ming in the mirror is at most 1.75 meters tall.
"Please adjust the character image."
Su Ming gestured with his fingers to make himself a little more mature, looking like a high school student instead of a junior high school student.
After the character image was determined, Su Ming arrived at Novice Village No. 777 with a wave of the elf's magic wand.
Su Ming stood in the Novice Village, looking around blankly.
The novice village in "Destiny" is a map that is completely independent of the main world. There are tens of thousands of them. In addition, it has been a month since the server was launched, so the number of players in the current novice village No. 777 is very small.
If it had been during the server launch period, Su Ming would have been pushed to the ground if he had been sitting in a daze.
Su Ming has never been exposed to this type of game before, and now he doesn't know what to do.
Fortunately, "Destiny" has a beginner's guide.
How to open the panel, how to accept tasks, how to exit the game, the background story of the game, the identity of the role played by the player...
Many contents in the novice guide are not important and can be skipped and start the adventure directly. However, Su Ming spent a full hour reading all the contents.
When he saw that "game currency can be exchanged for real currency", his eyes lit up.
Su Ming's parents died young, and he and his sister depended on each other. Their life was already very poor. After he became a vegetative state, his sister Su Qiaoqiao dropped out of school and worked to pay for his expensive care.
When a person becomes a vegetative state for more than three months, the hope of recovery is very slim. However, Su Qiaoqiao persisted for three years and is still persisting now.
Su Ming knew that Su Qiaoqiao gave up a lot of things for herself.
If I can make money, my sister won't have to work so hard. She can have time to watch a movie, eat the food she likes, and do the things she likes.
Su Ming gained motivation.
There are three ways to make money in the game.
One is to make money by killing monsters, the other is to make money by completing tasks, and the third is to make money by trading with other players.
There is no one else in the Novice Village, so what Su Ming can do now is the first and second.
Following the final system guidance (a random task), Su Ming came to the pharmacy in Novice Village.
There are neat rows of primary life-restoring potions on the shelves in the store. The owner of the store is sitting behind the counter, lying on the table and dozing off.
Su Ming walked over and knocked on the table, waking up the boss. He asked:
"Mr. Payson, do you need my help with anything?"
Paison's name was displayed above his head, so Su Ming could call him by name.
Payson woke up, rubbed his eyes, yawned and said:
"Are you the adventurer introduced by the village chief? A group of goblins came to the woods to the east outside the village. They destroyed all the 'styptic grass'. If you can help me clean up the goblins, get it from them
Just bring me ten 'styptic grass' plants."
In this way, Su Ming received a collection task. After completing the task, he could get experience, 5 bottles of primary life potion, and a silver coin.
"One silver coin can be exchanged for one yuan. The tasks outside the Novice Village will give you more money. You need to level up quickly and leave the Novice Village." Su Ming came to the east forest excitedly.
Soon I saw the goblin the mission was talking about.
It was a short creature with pointed ears, only about 1.3 meters tall. Its arms and thighs were very thin. They only wore a simple animal skin skirt. Their ribs could be clearly seen and they made a harsh sound.
