Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

[This is the so-called 'kneeling in reality'. These game geeks like to dream every day, imagining that they are adventuring in a different world.This game is very real, it can teach them the real life, and tell them that it is not so easy to be an adventurer in another world.Young people need education in social colleges. 】 Regarding Yi Guang's concerns, the system behaved quite calmly.

"Don't be kidding, this is really going to kill people." Yi Guang frowned, "But the most annoying thing is that now we can only act like idiots, waiting for the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes to unfold."

[This is also something that can’t be helped. According to some things I found outside, this behind-the-scenes black hand rarely appears in the real world.He should be stationed in this game world for a long time, even if you can break through the defense line of 'Icarus Technology Company' outside and wipe them all out, that person will be fine.After a while, he will still make a comeback and start a similar plan again. 】

"This world always has its own carrier, right?" Yi Guang frowned. "You also said that this world is immature. Before it can be completed, it needs a carrier for 'incubation'. Since it is composed of electronic data , then there should be something like a server."

[Of course, it's just that as a prototype of the world, you smashed it rashly... You don't know the consequences, do you? ] There was a hint of blame in the system's voice.

"Well, indeed, it is impossible to be undead..."

Yi Guang let out a long breath.Of course he understands what the system means. Although this world is just a prototype, its general structure has been perfected.Since the other party has realized the technology that can completely transform human beings into data and ingest them into this world, it means that the degree of completion of this world is enough for real human beings to be completely recorded in the form of data.Or in other words, this world made up of data can already accomplish most of the effects that can only be achieved in the real world. You can almost regard the things in it as real.

Including this flower and tree, including these monsters of different styles, these are already infinitely close to the real thing.Once this certain world is impacted by external forces and collapses, a large amount of data that constitutes this world will overflow into reality.In line with the system's previous popularization to Yiguang, regarding the characteristics of Bugster, the real world may be the same as this game by then, with all kinds of strange and unknown creatures rampaging everywhere.

"Isn't this the plot of "Digimon"?" Yi Guang covered his face in pain, "Opening the door to the real world and so on, and then there are all kinds of monster battles... To be fair, this world shouldn't There is also the setting of 'chosen children'?"

[Don't think too much, this is the world of "Sword Art Online", the only problem is a Tan Lidou who came out of nowhere.This kind of person, really, is a good hand in making troubles in any world, it is simply a disaster level of the plane. 】

"When...when...when..."

Just as Yi Guang and the system were killing monsters and chatting with each other with the help of telepathy, a melodious and heavy bell echoed throughout the game world.

To this, Yi Guang nodded secretly: It's about to start.

And reincarnated as data, trying to analyze the system of this world, he also said to himself: [The opportunity is here...]

Yes, this is exactly the voice that changed everyone's destiny.

Chapter 398 I am Kami of the New World!

Following a slow and heavy bell, it began to reverberate throughout the entire map, and bursts of light began to flicker everywhere on the game map.That is the special light effect of the teleportation props being activated in the game, but this large-scale teleportation behavior is not the game behavior of the players.

All the players in the game were forcibly teleported at this moment as the bell rang.Whether they were fighting monsters, missions, or something else, they all felt the dizziness from the teleportation at the same time.When they came back to their senses, the scene in front of them had once again become the place where they were born in this game, the main city called the "Starting Town".

At this time, four hours had passed since the game server opened.For the time outside the game, it happened to be the time to go offline and prepare for dinner.

However, in fact, quite a few players already had a premonition about this teleportation.Or rather, a considerable number of players have long been waiting for this teleportation, they are waiting for an official explanation.They were looking at each other face to face, and there was a deep anxiety and suspicion in everyone's eyes and mouth.

"What the hell is going on? Can't log out..."

"Yeah, is there a bug?"

"It's not just about logging out. What happened to my friend who was killed by a monster and didn't return to the town to revive? Dropped?"

……

Not being able to quit the game is a big problem, but there are more serious things that have happened.

"The game has been going on for four hours. During these four hours, a series of unusual problems have appeared, and many players have begun to feel panic."

While Yi Guang was teleported, the system transformed into a human figure again, and then whispered in Yi Guang's ear.Although this guy doesn't have the ability to fight directly, in order to deceive others, she still transformed into the same novice suit as Yi Guang.

"Someone has already discovered that this is not a game?" Yi Guang raised his eyebrows. This is not unexpected news.Rather, the guy hiding behind the scenes was not prepared to hide this at all.Unlike Kayaba Akihiko in the original book, who turned off the game exit function later, in this magically modified "Sword Art Online", about 10 minutes after the game started, Yi Guang, who has been paying attention to the changes, has already discovered the game exit button disappears.Now that more than three hours have passed, among the [-] players, someone will always notice this.

"It's not just that simple." The system waved his hand, "In fact, from the data I intercepted, there have been incidents of player deaths."

"What? It has already appeared..." Yi Guang turned his head to look at the system, his brows under the helmet slightly frowned, "How many people have been killed so far?"

"Not many, just 36 people. After all, it's a low-level area. Those who bought the first cartridges are all veteran gamers with considerable game experience. Even if they lack physical fitness, the attributes of this novice outfit on them are not bad. To a large extent, their survivability is guaranteed." The system shook his head, "This is much better than the "Sword Art Online" in the original work. And even in the original work, the first real game sacrifice Or, it also appeared three hours after the death game officially started, and the reason was still suicide.”

There were 1 victims among 36 people. Indeed, this number is not too many.But Yi Guang felt a little annoyed, even though he knew the result a long time ago, when the matter came before his eyes, he still felt unavoidably uncomfortable.

"These people died in the battle with monsters, but their companions are not aware of their deaths. From their point of view, their companions are just disconnected." The system continued to tell Yi Guang.

"Dropped?" Yi Guang didn't quite understand.

"Yes, after all, no one would think that the game will kill people. After all, the game setting of 'victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, please start again' is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." The system nodded, "They naively think that their companions It will be resurrected at the resurrection point, after all, it was indeed like this during the beta test. But obviously, our Mr. Tan Lidou canceled the setting of the 'resurrection point' in the official version."

"Thus, dead people cannot be resurrected, they are really dead. After all, the essence of this game is to pack people into the game from the body to the spirit." Yi Guang understood the meaning of the system, and at the same time I also noticed a question, "Wait a minute, there is a resurrection point in the closed beta... That is to say, during the closed beta, this game can be resurrected just like ordinary games?"

"That's right, I know what you mean." The system naturally understood what Yi Guang was referring to, "Indeed, theoretically speaking, as Tanli who cracked the essence of Bugsters and used their power to build this world Dou probably has the ability to resurrect the dead in this game."

"It's also possible that with the evolution of this world, its laws are getting closer to reality, and the setting that can be resurrected in the past no longer exists." Yi Guang touched his chin, but at this moment, a somewhat ominous The speculation entered his mind, "Wait a minute, he... that guy, isn't he planning to use resurrection as a reward for clearing the level?"

Thinking of this possibility, Yi Guang's heart skipped a beat.

It's terrible. If this is really what that guy intends, then what he wants to do... is far beyond the current level.

If this guy really said "As long as someone clears this game, I can resurrect all the people who died in the game"... those players who have been trapped in the game may not be what will happen.However, the outside world will definitely go crazy!

Before, the system had already found out through the Internet. Not long after the game started, the outside world had already discovered the disappearance of the [-] first-time players, and it was quickly spread through the media and "Icarus Technology Company" itself.At this point in time, the whole world may have known about the large-scale disappearance cases caused by this game. The only people who are ignorant and unaware are probably only the players in this game.

How much sensation will the collective disappearance of 1 people cause in the whole society?Especially when the reasons for the disappearance all point to the game "Sword Art Online", the social impact it will produce is absolutely explosive.After the incident, the "Icarus Technology Company", which developed "Sword Art Online", neither carried out crisis public relations, nor bowed and apologized, nor remained silent. People from all walks of life will pay attention to the company's press conference later... Originally, Yi Guang was a little puzzled by this, but after this idea flashed in his mind, Yi Guang quickly connected these things together.

This is a long-arranged conspiracy, and trapping the [-] starters in the game is just the beginning.

"Hello everyone, did you have a good time this afternoon? Welcome to the world of "Sword Art Online". As a product developed by our company, it will definitely leave you with unforgettable memories for life."

Sure enough, when that strange armor covered in black and white with a clear sense of technology, which was fundamentally different from ordinary players at first glance, appeared in midair accompanied by a series of light and shadow effects, Yi Guang's guess was gradually reduced. proved.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Genm, the ultimate administrator of this game. At the same time, I am also its main developer, the president of 'Icarus Technology Company', Tan Lidou... Among you, some people should I have already met me, and it was a pleasure to get along with you during the closed test, and I hope you will continue to like the games I develop.”

Hearing the name "Tan Lidou", Yi Guang's pupils shrank suddenly.Of course he knew the name, the system had mentioned this person to him before.

The origin of all plot changes, the manipulator of Bugster, the person who created this world, is also the ultimate goal of Yi Guang's mission.

And now, Yi Guang has one more evaluation of him - a man close to God.

Yes, close to the gods.

Tan Lidou, who created this artificial dream world, appeared in the sky with unparalleled power and light, and Yi Guang felt an aura similar to "God" in him.

Like the current Yi Guang, he has stepped into the "God's Realm"!

Although it had been expected, Yi Guang was still a little surprised after seeing it with his own eyes.After all, Yi Guang knows how much pain and sorrow he has experienced from a mortal to the present.This can only be done with the help of the system to strengthen and guide it.

And the man in the opposite sky is just an ordinary traveler. According to the system, he is just a mortal who has cracked the Bugster's secret, a "genius" who only has extraordinary talents in the field of program development.

But now, he exudes a power that is almost comparable to when he released it with all his strength.At this moment, Yi Guang actually showed some admiration for the mission target he was going to deal with.

Soon, however, this admiration was replaced by anger and fighting spirit.

"Don't be surprised, what you use in this world is indeed your body in the real world. I have done what only gods can do. What I created is not just a game, this is a real world, and I, Tan Lidou... is the god of this new world!"

"Since it's the real world, it's normal for people to die when they're killed. Since it's a real world, can you still exit or start over? Of course not, remember, this is not a game, but a real 'new world'."

"Of course, I am not a murderer, nor a terrorist. I am the god of this world. As a god, I will not cause death meaninglessly. I have arranged this trial for you to conquer the hundred Layer... After completing this trial, mankind will be able to receive God's relief! I will bestow eternity on you, including those who have already died, and those who will die in the next trial."

"So, everyone is in this game, work hard. Even if there is only one person, as long as one person successfully defeats the final boss on the [-]th floor, then I will reopen the function of leaving the game, and all before that Players who died in this game world, I will bring them back to life."

"Of course, if no one is able to do this in the end, or if you all give up, then it is a pity that you are not qualified to witness the coming of the new era. You are not qualified to accept the 'God's Grace'. Death, is Your final destination...hahaha!"

"Finally, during the trial period, the game "Sword Art Online" will continue to be sold. This world will continue to accept newcomers, and you are also eligible for trials, so... If someone's relatives and friends die In this world, if you want to revive them, join this world together, maybe the last hero is among you."

Chapter 399 The day it all started

"Sure enough...he wants to use these 1 people as bait to let more people enter this world and become the 'nutrient' for him to build this world."

Yi Guang's conjecture was confirmed. The 1 people trapped in the game world were just the beginning of the plan of the traverser named "Dan Li Dou".His real purpose is to use the freedom of these 1 people and the lives of those who died in battle as bait to lure more people into joining this death game.

Human beings are essentially social animals. Unless they are really the kind of tragic characters whose families are broken up and their families are destroyed, everyone—even a dead house—will have friends and relatives.Although there is no guarantee that everyone can sacrifice for family and friendship, but with a population base of 1 people, in their network, there will always be some people who value love and righteousness in order to liberate or resurrect Fight against your relatives and friends and join this death game.Even if it is true that everyone is ruthless, state agencies will certainly not stand idly by, and the police and army will inevitably send personnel to rescue.

In other words, no matter what the relationship network of these 1 people is like, there must be a large number of people from the outside world who will enter this game and become newcomers because of these [-] "hostages" or "bait".And those newcomers also have their own network of relationships, and will attract more newcomers to join until everyone is desperate.

But before that, how many people can he attract through this method?fifty thousand?One hundred thousand? 20?Another million?Under the temptation and encouragement of "saving lives" and "rescuing the dead", no one dared to imagine the scale of the final situation.After all, although human nature is selfish, when faced with a certain situation, there will be some extremely unreasonable "courage" and "sense of responsibility".What's more, according to Tan Lidou, as long as even one person completes the strategy, he will resurrect and release everyone.

This undoubtedly gave the players, and even the public outside, a great hope.After all, to put it bluntly, this is just a game, and if newcomers are not prohibited from joining, it will eventually be broken.The total number of human beings is 70 billion, and there are more than [-] million in Neon alone. Among the [-] million people, it seems that it is not impossible for a "genius player" or "savior" to appear, right?

After all, human beings are willing to believe in the existence of hope, even if there is only a little bit of hope, it will be regarded as a life-saving straw.Tan Lidou undoubtedly took advantage of this mentality. Although the world of "Sword Art Online" can already be called a "world", it is not perfect after all. As a world, it still needs enough "information" to form a more complete world. Complex changes, so he needs enough players to promote the growth of this "world".All the activities of the player in this world, whether it is combat, missions, daily life, production... These will become information, which will be fed back to the world to allow it to evolve.

If I had to describe it, the current "world" is like a newly laid egg. Tan Lidou, an old hen, needs to find enough materials to build a "nest" that allows him to hatch the egg.And these players are the materials such as straw and cotton batting that he used to build the nest. Although he doesn't know how much of these materials he needs, but at present, the more the better.

"is that a lie?"

"How is it possible... to die?"

"Is Kobayashi dead? It's just Game Over, shouldn't he be resurrected? How could he die?"

"Impossible, there must be an exit button!"

"Are you kidding me? Is it April [-]st?"

Regardless of how Yi Guang viewed Dan Lidou, as soon as Tan Lidou's declaration came out, the player community exploded first.Human beings often instinctively choose not to believe when faced with things that are not good for them or that are beyond their knowledge.And now this incident happened to meet these two characteristics at the same time.

They were thrown into the game world, and their bodies really entered the game. This technology has gone far beyond human imagination.After all, before the emergence of "full stealth" technology, that is, just a few short years ago, "virtual reality" was just a term that appeared in fantasy works and technical concepts.At that time, human beings could not even use the most basic technological means to deceive human senses and achieve immersive effects. Therefore, the "full stealth" technology proposed by Kayaba Akihiko was hailed as "epoch-making technology". Not only the progress of games and IT technology, but also a breakthrough in human neurology and brain research.

But now, after a few years, you tell me that you did not achieve "full stealth" by deceiving the human brain and nervous system, but transformed the entire soul and body into data and stuffed it into the game server?Is this a fantasy? !

And if what Tan Lidou said is true, their lives are not guaranteed.You can't leave this world without clearing the level, but if you want to attack, you must face those monsters, but you will die if you are killed in this world.Someone had died in the previous strategy, and what was even more terrible was that they hadn't been resurrected.

Encountered two extreme situations at the same time, most players first instinctively refused to believe, and then showed varying degrees of hysterical behavior after a period of time.Another part of seasoned players force themselves to calm down and use their own theory to appease the people around them.

"It's all right, it's going to be all right."

"The government will not sit idly by. This is a serious social security incident. The police and self-defense forces will not let these bastards go. We will definitely get assistance soon."

In addition, a small group of players began to meditate, obviously thinking about the next plan.

"Then, I wish you all good luck. I will be waiting for your arrival in the BOSS room on the [-]th floor. When you successfully pass the level, I will, as the god of this world, give you the rewards you deserve."

Saying that, Genm, or Tan Lidou's figure began to gradually turn into light particles, which were about to dissipate in the sky.Yi Guang instinctively used his divine power to attack that person, but the moment he was about to strike, the system grabbed his hand.

"Don't forget what I said to you before, if you make a move now, it's tantamount to dragging [-] players to be buried with Tan Lidou. Not to mention, that guy's ability is quite troublesome, even if you face him head-on, you won't be able to get rid of him What good."

"Then look at him and act recklessly?" Yi Guang asked unwillingly.

"I've said it all, work hard to fight monsters and upgrade, crack and read those modules, and master the laws of this world." The system shook his head, "Although Tan Lidou is crazy, he is not a murderer, he is a pure 'game designer' According to his personality analysis, what he said is basically true. Therefore, he must have integrated the possibility of conquering the game into those modules. As long as he can break through the game all the way, he should be able to realize The essence of this world."

"If what you said is true, then what exactly is he trying to do?" Yi Guang was a little confused, "If he just wanted to complete the world, why did he leave a back door?"

"Playing games, I have already said that although he is crazy enough, he is essentially a pure 'game producer' and 'programmer', with a little bit of secondary disease." The system explained again, "Maybe, he Really just trying to make the best game in the world."

"This is a crazy man..." Yi Guang finally understood.

"After all, if you are not crazy, you can't become a Buddha." The system sighed softly, "The ideas of such geniuses are often very different from ordinary people."

"Then I still choose to be a normal person." Yi Guang snorted coldly.

After Tan Lidou disappeared, Yi Guang ignored those players who were either hysterical, desperate, or trying to calm down.After all, at this point, it is meaningless to just cry or comfort others.Instead of crying and cursing meaninglessly, it is better to work hard to upgrade, increase strength, and strive to break through the level as soon as possible.

Moreover, as far as Yi Guang is concerned, he has experienced this feeling once.From the beginning of entering the infinite world, when he realized that he could never return to his hometown, Yi Guang felt the same as these players.It's just that now, all kinds of thoughts and nostalgia have finally returned to calm. Instead of talking nonsense, it is really better to do some practical things.

So Yi Guang embarked on the road of upgrading again, and he did the same behavior, and there was also a group of elite players who had experienced the game beta test and had a firm mind.This group of people is more familiar with the early game content, so they can obtain game resources faster, which brings them a considerable degree of self-confidence, so this group of people became the first people to move in this death game.
