I like traveling the most

Consciousness was gradually withdrawn, as if passing through a tunnel, and the concept of time gradually dissipated.

Xiaolin had never really entered the time tunnel, but somehow he had such consciousness now.

Soon, he came to a platform.

There was nothing here, it was a pure white space that was a bit dazzling. Just when he was a little at a loss, a familiar mechanical sound rang out.

[Please set the character image]

Then a human model that looked very much like Xiaolin, but only wearing briefs, appeared in front of him, without any breath, and appeared too abruptly, frightening him so much that he couldn't help but take a step back.

"Just do some superfluous things."

I couldn't help but complain.

I just wanted to play in the virtual city for a while, and I took the trouble to set the image. Is that stupid goddess too idle?

That's right, at this time he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Although Xiaolin was disgusted, his hands couldn't help but move, because he wanted to see where the limit of this virtual image was.

It's true that he is disgusted with his mouth but upright in his body.

My image is the initial setting, so there is no need to change it, but the restoration is quite realistic, and he is 80% handsome. The remaining 20% ​​is probably because he is lifeless and has no vitality.

No, no, no, I shouldn’t use male characters at this time, right?

I have to try female characters no matter what.

So Sato Kazuma, Dust, and the cheerful and handsome guy Mitsurugi Hibiki were all sentenced to death by him.

As for the female images, he started with the most familiar Darkness, then Aqua, Huihui, and Yunyun, until he encountered difficulties when it came to Wiz.

"Hmm... Is there still a limitation? The breasts of the weak witch girl are very big, but even if the value is adjusted to the highest, it is not enough. It seems that it still won’t work. Forget it, let’s just leave it like this. Let’s try others next."

Not only the few members of the team, but also Alice, Kureya and Rain, he restored them one by one, with a precision of at least 90%!

Not good, this is really fun!

Even if it is the simplest transformation model (person-making) game, Xiaolin feels that he can play here for a whole day.

"No, no, I got carried away."

Pat his cheeks.

The main purpose of this trip was to accompany Alice to visit Tokyo. How could I waste time here? I'll come back to play again when I have a chance.

Thinking this way, Kobayashi changed back to his original image.

Out of distrust of the team members, those problem children might change into weird images. In order to allow everyone to meet up smoothly, there must be a character that everyone knows. Kobayashi took on this role reluctantly.

As for the character name...

"Is it necessary to set a character name? How much useless work did that stupid goddess do?"

Choose it to Kobayashi.

"Okay, we can finally start!"

Then——

He came to a busy street, surrounded by many pedestrians wearing simple adventurer suits. Some of them chatted with each other in groups of three or five, and some walked out of the city in groups.

"...Huh?"

Kobayashi was completely dumbfounded.

There was no modern architecture around him. It was all in the style of another world. At the same time, he was wearing the same clothes as those people.

Before entering the virtual world, it was a different world. After entering the virtual world, it was still a different world. Didn't I enter it for nothing?

"What the hell is this..."

I really want to think that this is the work of the stupid goddess and put all the problems on her, but now it seems that the problem is more serious than I thought.

"So, after all, it's still..."

"I say you, team up with me."

"Hey, what should I do?"

The conversations of the people around him kept falling into Xiaolin's ears.

Too real, this world!

When I entered the virtual world before, those NPCs were as real as these people, but at least they didn't say anything weird.

Virtual technology, game team, online forum

These obviously modern terms, spoken by medieval characters, are weird no matter how you look at them. Until he heard someone say the name [Kayaba Akihiko], he subconsciously pressed that person's shoulder.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say about Kayaba Akihiko?"

"...Huh?"

I don't know if it was because Kobayashi's question was too strange, or because he was scared by the height of a head taller than him, the man's eyes revealed fear.

His companion couldn't bear it anymore.

"I said, you..."

"Sorry, I was reckless. I was just a little excited when I heard this name. If I gave you a bad impression, I apologize."

Kobayashi's daily breast method, pretending that she had no ill intentions. Unexpectedly, the man's cheeks turned slightly red, and he said he was fine in a rather embarrassed way.

No, you blushed like a bubble teapot!

But when her companion called her Rinko, Kobayashi realized that the other party was a woman playing a male character.

The two argued about Kobayashi's appearance. One said that it was just a molded character, so why be shy, and the other said that it was definitely not molded...

There was no time to explain these trivial matters. Kobayashi wanted to ask about Kayaba Akihiko to confirm his guess.

"What? You don't know Kayaba Akihiko? Ah, it's common. You play excellent games but don't know who developed and created them. How can you be considered a qualified player? You, apologize to all the creators of excellent games!"

"You're too much, Koharu."

The male character named Koharu seemed very upset with Kobayashi, and it was unknown whether he had just offended her friends. However, she still explained Kayaba Akihiko and this game to Kobayashi as a game player -

Sword Art Online

Unfortunately, she said a lot, but Kobayashi didn't listen at all: "I always use that sentence to tease, but I didn't expect it to be connected to here..."

He murmured softly.

"Hey, I'm doing a science popularization seriously, how dare you be distracted, you're so brave!"

"Koharu, don't be angry!"

"I just want to say, Rinko, how many times have I told you that this is a made-up character image, the real one must be a sloppy and unkempt big man, so don't be crazy about it! You can't create female characters for game characters like this, otherwise those guys will circle around you like flies."

The two quarreled again.

But what she said did wake up Kobayashi. Now Aqua and others might be worried, so they have to find them quickly.

"Sorry, you two, I have something urgent to do now, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, okay."

"If you don't mind, I want to introduce my friends to you later, can I wait here for a while?"

"Huh?! Why should I wait here..."

"Okay, okay, if possible."

"See you later."

After saying goodbye to the two and adding them as friends, he left.

Fortunately, they are the brainless and unhappy combination. Now this game has become a death game. If the health value reaches zero, the head will really be roasted. If I tell them that there is a problem with the game and they should not leave the city now, the brainless Koharu will definitely leave the city. In this way, Kobayashi will do something bad with good intentions. But if he sets his target on the brainless Rinko, he can delay them.

He will not come back to meet them.

Although the act of standing them up will make them angry, and they may even send emails to condemn him, it is much better to waste time in the town than to risk death outside the city.

Kobayashi ran quickly in the starting town.

I don’t know if the resurrection of the stupid goddess will work here. The most urgent thing is to find Aqua and the others. If the health value reaches zero by accident...

Damn it!

It’s quite difficult to find them here. You should know that the starting town is the starting point at the southern end of the first layer. It occupies about two-tenths of the area of ​​the bottom layer. It is a semicircular area with a diameter of one kilometer surrounded by city walls. It is also the largest city in Aincrad.

In addition, the entire floor is almost the same as Chiyoda District. It might be more convenient to wait until Kayaba Akihiko gathers all the players to the square before looking for them.

However, he overlooked the characteristics of Aqua and the others.

Problem children are problem children no matter where they are. Their existence is like a scourge that disturbs the world. Their destructive power is no joke.

In the middle of a certain street, a large group of people gathered there.

"Come on, please don't miss it if you pass by! Next, I will perform exquisite talents for you, and I guarantee that you will shout out magic! But I must make it clear in advance that I don't make a living by performing, so absolutely no tips. Then-flowers, birds, wind and moon!"

A very cheerful voice came from the crowd.

Kobayashi looked over and saw Aqua stepping on a wooden box and performing a gorgeous performance for the crowd watching below.

This is a talent show that is enough to make people shout out magic even with the system. Cheers and applause continued to come, and at the same time, the nervousness that made him worried and afraid disappeared.

In addition to Aqua performing on the stage, there were also Darkness, Yunyun and Huihui below, and Ryuko also joined them.

They were also surrounded by the crowd, but the difference was that the people around Darkness and the others were all people who invited them to form a team.

[Unhappy] was right.

Female characters in the game are indeed very popular, even if their real identity is likely to be a big man who picks his feet, these people don't care about it.

After all, a ruthless character who had been hurt - Lucian once said: Don't care what happens in reality, isn't it okay to be cute in the game?

I didn't expect to be so hungry.

Kobayashi sighed and came to them: "What are you doing to cause such a commotion."

"Kobayashi!"

"You're finally here, Kobayashi!"

"Too slow, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"I think when Kobayashi was designing the image, he must have tried all the images of everyone because of his dirty thoughts, and then chose to appear in his original appearance out of condemnation and guilt, so he was so late."

Should I say that she is worthy of being my closest maid? This almost completely correct reasoning is as if I saw it with my own eyes.

"I want to ask you, why didn't you change your image?"

Kobayashi looked at the familiar people.

Except for the different equipment they wore, their appearance and height did not change at all.

"I don't understand, so I chose the usual appearance."

Darkness's reason is simple, so normal that people feel she is a little abnormal.

The same is true for Youyou.

Ryuko is disdainful of any changes. Designed by the best watchmaker, she is naturally the most perfect.

Kobayashi agrees with this point.

Huihui crossed her arms and said, "Hmph, that kind of thing doesn't matter at all. I just set it up according to the normal appearance."

duang~~~

"No, no, no, you are not."

Kobayashi looked at her chest, which was even more exaggerated than Youyou's. It is understandable that the little loli has a grudge against the airport, but the proportions have become strange. Don't you think the center of gravity is unstable?

At the same time, he also understood that the character customization system actually has a lot of room for development.

"Come on, Youyou, let's continue the competition that failed last time - the development competition in the Red Demon Clan - I will definitely not lose to you this time!"

"This is not the real you! Huihui, you are cheating!"

"Does that mean you admit defeat?"

"I don't want it!"

Huihui has a strange desire to win.

Kobayashi rolled his eyes and asked, "Are these the only ones here? What about the others? Have they not joined us yet?"

"Yeah. Because I don't know what's going on, I asked Aqua to do something that can attract people's attention." Darkness explained why Aqua was performing on the street.

I have to say, she's quite smart.

Aqua is born with a comedian's physique. With her around, she will definitely attract people she knows.

"What are you guys doing?"

A deep and magnetic voice came from behind.

Kobayashi turned his head and saw a male character. To put it simply, he was handsome, but he was a little unreal, just like feeding a picture of a handsome guy in real life to AI and then transforming it.

"...Who are you?"

"It's me! Sato Kazuma!"

"But the voice..."

"This game also has the option to change the voice, don't you know?"

Sato Kazuma changed the voice back.

Darkness said with disdain: "How shameless you are, you actually made yourself so handsome, I really can't stand a man like you."

"Kazuma, I understand that you are not confident about your appearance, but you can't deceive yourself." Huihui patted his shoulder.

"...I don't want to be told that."

Sato Kazuma stared at her chest that was disproportionate to her body.

Kobayashi was quite surprised: "I didn't expect Sato-kun to not create a female character. I thought you played a female character."

"It is true that "mostly those who control female characters are big men who pick their feet", but when I think of this as a virtual reality game, I have some physical resistance." Sato Kazuma rubbed his shoulders.

I see.

It seems that he is not a complete scumbag.

"And...with my face, I can have any beautiful female character follow me."

Take back what he said before, he is a complete scumbag.

"By the way, this game..."

"Ah, I know. It seems that something terrible has happened. But let's talk about it after everyone is gathered."

Sato Kazuma also realized that something was wrong.

But now is not the time to explain.

————

In the dark virtual space, an ordinary man in a white coat and black-framed glasses quickly pressed the buttons in front of the light screen.

His name is Kayaba Akihiko, the designer of this game, and he is currently doing the final debugging.

However, he encountered a problem.

"Interesting. There are actually ten black accounts."

Mumbling to himself, no one heard.

You should know that there are only 10,000 accounts in the first batch of open accounts, and there are ten black accounts that sneaked in this time, a one-thousandth probability. If the leaders of some large game companies knew about it, they would definitely be furious, after all, this is not a small probability, and it also means that his game has loopholes.

But the strange thing is that these outsiders were easily controlled by him.

This is like a thief who went through untold hardships, spent a lot of effort, and even used some unknown method to break into the prison just to fall into the trap. It looks weird no matter how you look at it. It is hard not to wonder if there is a trap in it.

But he will not stop.

There is only one chance. For his dream, even if there is an accident, it can't stop him.

Come on, let's start the game.

The white light on the screen illuminated the man's somewhat paranoid smile.

Lucian is the game character created by the male protagonist in "The Online Heroine Can't Be My Wife". The sentence "It doesn't matter whether the person behind the screen is a man or a woman, as long as the game character is cute, isn't it okay?" comes from his wise saying.
