Xie Xi Qi, 32 years old, an ex pro gamer, works as a character designer at M&J, a game company that specialized in VRMMO RPG game. Their best selling game, The Morpheus Online (TMO) has at least 1.5 billion game capsules sold worldwide.
One day, Xie...
In his hands, there were two pictures. Both were pictures of Xie Xi Qi. One was with glasses, and the other was, without glasses. Jing Wen Xun stared deep onto the pictures, almost enough to burn a hole through it.
Still not having enough proofs, he opened up the stored videos of the past records of Mirrorland tournaments. His eyes glossed through each of the videos. He dared not blink his eyes, as if afraid that he might missed out any important details. The more videos he watched, the more he could confirm it.
From beginning of the VRMMO game Mirrorland, there was only the solo player 'Spade of Seventh Heaven', while 'Seven Sin' had never appeared until the 3rd year. The year which they first won their pairing duel. But ever since then, Spade of Seventh Heaven had never used the same combo attack routine. Until that year's tournament. He met him.
"He knows that skill combo attack, and the little mole on his eye.... I thought it was just a coincidence that they look similar. If anyone else tells me he's not that guy from the past, I wouldn't believe it now. Xie Xi Qi is that big brother. He is."
Xie Xi Qi jumped at the voice of the man who sounded as if spring had come. He raised his brow, looking at Jing Wen Xun who entered the Creative Department while holding onto a huge paper bag with Jin Shui who was carrying a dozen cups of coffee.
They placed the bag and coffees onto the front desk, with Jin Shui calling the staffs to eat, Jing Wen Xun specially brought a lunch box and a cup of coffee towards Xie Xi Qi's desk.
"For you. Eat while its hot."
He winked an eye and left soon after. Leaving Xie Xi Qi astounded at his action.
Huh? What's wrong with him?
Xie Xi Qi opened his lunch box, with one glance at the food content made him immediately closed the box in shock, frowning and even shaking his head a little.

T-this guy....
Xie Xi Qi hurriedly ate the sandwich in huge bites, even choking himself in between. He coughed and drank from the coffee cup which turned his face dark instantly. But he made himself swallowing it down even if its hard to do so.
"Too sweet, is this even coffee?"
He took up his phone and messaged to Jing Wen Xun who at the moment was attending the meeting with the President of M&J and the board directors.
Jing Wen Xun was sitting upright as he spoke of his proposal, while twirling the pen around in between his fingers. The President and all the board directors were listening to his proposal with great interest, especially when the content of his proposal was about the VRMMO game Mirrorland, the first project of the company. As it consisted of various memories of their sweat and tears when the M&J Corporation was first established in C Country.
"In regards to the future game expansion, Mirrorland would soon be merged into The Morpheus Online. Of course, this is only still within the planning period. We would be merging both, bringing the game into a new era, not just the game itself, but the ingame characters of all past players...."
Jing Wen Xun had just ended his speech. The board directors and even the President all had a smile on their faces, clearly shown that they were quite pleased with his proposal. His phone's vibration made him jolted a second there and the incredible ringtone of a parrot calling "Bao bei, your message is here~!"
This made the meeting went silent and Jing Wen Xun coughed in embarrassment as he hurriedly turned his phone off.
The President harrumphed and said, "Let's continue our previous discussion on the advertisement for the upcoming TMO expansion update. Any suggestions?"
A hand raised up in the air. It was Ronald.
"Yes, Ronald?"
Ronald Mo sat up straight and started speaking in business mode.
"Why don't we invite the top two guilds' members for the advertisement? Have them pose as their ingame characters and let's feature them in our magazine with slots of interviews of their thoughts on the new expansion update."
"From the leaderboard chart, both guilds, Hunters and Rogue 11 have taken the top two spots for almost a year, alternately. From the looks of it, their in game skills are top notch and well, they're pretty famous worldwide."
The idea seemed to be approved by most of the board directors. They were all nodding their head in response. However, Jing Wen Xun was rather unhappy with it. He raised his hand and stated his objection.
"Two of the top guilds you were saying, did you know that one of the guild was actually affiliated with M&J company? Three of its members are currently working within the company. It may cause some complications and frictions among the worldwide players if their identities were to be found out."
"You mean, they may be accused of cheating?" One of the older directors spoke.
Jing Wen Xun nodded. He turned to look at the President. The President took his cup of tea and drank it halfway before he said his words.
"Hmnn....that is indeed troubling. Then we'll just exclude any guilds with affiliation to M&J. Then, any other suggestions? No? Then let's end this meeting for now. We'll continue any other discussions in our next meeting. Team Leader Jing, come to my office after this."
"Yes, President."
The President stood and left for his office with Jing Wen Xun silently following right behind him. As soon as the heavy door closed after they entered the office, the secretary smiled, as the sound of bickering echoed from within.
"Seriously, you damn brat Wen Xun! Off your phone next time when you're attending the meeting! And this is still your very first board meeting with all the directors in attendance. What's with that ringtone of yours? Bao bei, your message is here? What, did you just got a girlfriend or something?"
Jing Wen Xun sat there, and covering his face as he grinned it through the talk. The President slapped Jing Wen Xun's back as he sat next to him at the couch.
"Seems like its true. Who is it? If you really like that girl, don't forget to bring her home to meet your grandpa."
"I know, Uncle Andy. But he's not a girl. He's a man. Grandpa probably will not be too happy about it."
The President widened his eyes.
"You got eaten by a man?"
This remark made Jing Wen Xun abruptly stood up with a blushing red face, while throwing a fit.
"As if!!"
