A Chinese man concerned about his unemployed son's gaming addiction hired online hitmen to 'kill' his avatar.
The man, named as Mr Feng, blames his 23-year-old son's love for online role-playing games for his unemployment and found a radical way to get him into gear.
Mr Feng, who lives with his son in the Shaanxi province in central China, hired high-level players to kill his son's character every time he went online to play in the hopes that this would see him tire of playing.
Unhappy with his son not finding a job, Feng decided to hire players in his son's favorite online games to hunt down Xiao Feng. It is unknown where or how Feng found the in-game assassins—every one of the players he hired were stronger and higher leveled than Xiao Feng. Feng's idea was that his son would get bored of playing games if he was killed every time he logged on, and that he would start putting more effort into getting a job
