See what a turning wheel brings forth.
You could turn the huge wooden mill in Nipponbashi for $1 every 10 minutes. Although it is not quick money, many people still flock into this place to do the work typically categorized as slavery. It is a “hot” place that everyone is waiting to replace the camping ones. Except those in usual clothes, you could even see a dragon or an Ultraman (a famous figure in Japanese TV series) pushing hard against the mill. Or you could choose to be the one who is lashing those “animals” to keep them working with a big whip. The interesting thing is that it is really odd to see peo
ple circling around the huge log again and again like a cattle or a horse while a person is whipping at the side.
No pains, no gains. It may be a “serious” way to earn Lindens. However, what makes me interested in this place lies in such seriousness. It is a place where one is prompted to think whether we are doing just the same thing in real life: doing routine work, and leading routine life. This might be what many people fear deep in the mind. To my amazement, such a reflection is brought out simply by an odd-looking and monotonous turning movement. So, what’s going on next?

One problem that many people would encounter in Second Life is that they do not know where to earn free Lindens. There are so many things to buy whenever you teleport through places; however, you could do nothing if you h
ave no money. For this reason, some people are keen to know where they could earn money. There might be quite a lot places to make money, and I happen to come to an interesting place where one could obtain some free Lindens through one’s own labor.

P.S. Due to the fact that we discussed all 4 stories till 8 p.m. on Wednesday, we had another edition on Alan’s story again on Friday morning. I conclude what we find out this morning in the following suggestion. (In fact, we really do think Alan’s story is too good to revise. But later we find this morning that there are still some problems. Perhaps we all get tired o Wednesday after staying in SL for 6 hours…lol)
The writer’s story is about a working place in Nipponbashi in SL. People who work here are like animals in the farms pushing against that wheel to grind. The author thinks that people circling around the huge log again and again is like an endlessly routine life which many fear in real life. We think that the author has an interesting relation to a routine life in RL. Yet, perhaps the author should make the relation much clearer. He could elaborate on the second paragraph to foreshadow that the routine work in Nipponbashi in SL is like the routine life in RL. What’s more, it’s interesting that people in SL rush here to get a routine work while most people hate this kind of work in RL. Perhaps the author should also work on the third paragraph to dwell on the point he is trying to make. Lastly, perhaps Alan could introduce the job first in the first paragraph instead of the second in order to make a transition.
Here is a little grammatical problem:
There might be quite a lot places to make money, and I happen to come to an interesting place where one could obtain some free Lindens through one’s own labor.
>>>There might be quite a lot places to make money; and I happen to come to an interesting place where one could obtain some free Lindens through one’s own labor.
