Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

At that time, Tan Lidou lamented so much.Yes, it was precisely because of his distrust of modern medicine and the profession of doctors that Tan Lidou began to come into contact with taboo knowledge, but in the end it was a disaster.At the very end, Tan Lidou realized that this world, the so-called human beings, could not accept his idea.

"Mankind, most people are bound by ethics after all. I bestow eternal life on all human beings, but most of them only fear this gift. Then, if those who are willing to accept the gift are placed in Can a new world...can completely solve this problem?"

Yes, after getting in touch with Kayaba Akihiko, Tan Rito resonated with this native world genius, and a new concept was born in Tan Rito's mind.Since it is unrealistic to expect the entire human society to accept my cross-age concept, then I should build a new world for those who are willing to understand my great thoughts and accept sublimation.Since human beings and newly born new human beings cannot communicate, it is enough to isolate them in two worlds to avoid conflicts of ethics and morality to the greatest extent.

Two geniuses with secondary illness reached a consensus.Powers from two different worlds gathered and evolved in the hands of two talented monsters... In this way, the prototype of "Sword Art Online" that everyone sees now was born.

But, unfortunately, Tan Lidou soon encountered a problem.The strength of him and Kayaba Akihiko is not enough to build a real world, and the resources they have are not enough to allow them to reach cooperation with terminally ill hospitals across the country.The initial qualified candidates they recruited were pitifully less than 300.

Such a small amount cannot support the operation of a social system, and the data generated is not enough to allow the incomplete game world to evolve.According to the calculations of Tan Rito and Kayaba Akihiko, at least [-] players must live in the new world for at least three years before the entire new world can complete its self-evolution—this is still the most ideal status, if something goes wrong midway, it will take longer.

Not to mention, this also includes "death of experimenters" and "conflicts between experimenters" and other data that make people frown. Even Tan Lidou feels that these terminally ill patients who are full of hope to participate in the experiment It's too cruel to fight each other in the new world.Even if it can be resurrected, it is really not good for the psychological state of the experimenter.

However, soon, the two geniuses with different ways of thinking reached a consensus again.

"Then recruit experimenters on a large scale, sell this program as a game, and set up a mandatory customs clearance mechanism to encourage players to fight."

This is how it all started...

Chapter 462 The Stagnant Game

In short, after a camp split that almost turned into a riot, the attacking speed of the players headed by the "strategy group" has slowed down significantly.This caught many people off guard, and even made Tan Lidou, who is the game administrator, quite dissatisfied.As mentioned above, although Tan Lidou is full of malice towards players, he doesn't want to see unmanned strategy games. His essence is still a game developer, and players' strategy is the driving force for his updates.If the players all reject the strategy game, what is the meaning of this game?Therefore, after several planning plans and new version updates were introduced, but failed to restore the players' enthusiasm for the strategy, the frequency of Tan Lidou's data update also became relatively slow unconsciously.

Tan Lidou was also very disappointed, after all, he couldn't really drive out all the "casual players" and force them to attack.This is no different from setting off a full-scale player riot. If one is not careful, this group of players who have finally adapted to life in this world will have extreme despair.After experiencing the previous turmoil, Tan Lidou was a little uncertain about what this group of players would do in despair.After all, the number of players in the game world is not comparable to that in the real world, and their ability to withstand is really limited. Once they lose control completely, it is very likely that they will end in total annihilation.

Even if he is a madman, Tan Lidou has to compromise with the realistic consequences of doing so, he doesn't want to create a world of ruins.

As the designer and final boss of this game, Tan Lidou had to start thinking about problems for the players for the first time.However, in the short term, even "God's Talent" has not sorted out any clues.

So, weirdly, the entire game entered a stagnation period under such circumstances.In the next two months, the progress of the "strategy group" only increased by one level. This kind of efficiency was unimaginable in their heyday.

Nowadays, not many newcomers have stepped into this game world. In other words, there are very few new forces that the bottom layer can provide players with.Under this premise, the player group began to divide rapidly, and "casual players" occupied the mainstream of the entire player group, basically declaring the failure of the entire strategy process.Even if the "Strategy Team" is still insisting, the overall trend is undoubtedly doomed to failure.

"It's ridiculous, my plan should fail because of such a ridiculous reason..." Tan Lidou concluded with a self-deprecating smile, "Then, I spent so much energy building such a world, what is the reason?" For what?! What’s the point of creating a game that will be wiped out at 60.00% of the strategy progress! What’s the point of a group of residents with no fighting spirit and no enterprising spirit in this world?!”

"Tan Lidou, probably feeling helpless and angry at the current state of the world."

On the second floor of No.20, Yi Guanghe and the system were still guarding Kirito and Asuna. He shook his head when he listened to the report compiled by the system on the status quo of the game world.Then, it hit the point very accurately, almost in a sentence.Everything that happened in the outside world did not affect Yi Guang and the system. They are now only revolving around the "world will" that is about to be born.Since even Tan Lidou, the official, can't handle all this, then what can the two "hackers" do.

Besides, it would be great if Tan Lidou could not pay attention to the situation here for the time being.So, let alone worry about it, just wait for Asuna to give birth to that little guy.

"This guy probably doesn't understand why his plan can't go on." Yi Guang shook his head, then glanced at the system.

"Two reasons. First, the number of players participating in the entire game is still small. Although the entire outside world has been shocked, most of them are Neon people, and the relatives of the first batch of players are the main ones. Due to biological trends Instinct to avoid disadvantages, most people actually still have the attitude of 'nothing to do with yourself'. The number of people who have joined this game before and after has not exceeded 10 people, and only 6 people have successfully survived so far. People around. Although it looks like there are a lot of people, if you look at it from a sociological point of view, the number of people is very small and the ability to withstand it is very weak. In this situation, there is a considerable degree of risk of a full-scale war. After that, the number of survivors can still support the social ecology of the entire game world, and more importantly, Tan Lidou's own experimental needs."

There was no fluctuation on the system's face, it was just explaining its own analysis calmly.

"Yes, this is the main reason for Tan Lidou's compromise this time. The weak tolerance caused by the number of players made him have to consider the consequences of a series of chain reactions." Yi Guang nodded, "But, I think , the fundamental reason is that this guy doesn't understand the meaning of the concept of family, offspring... to human beings. Well, in fact, we also ignored this point at the beginning. In this regard, we really don't have the qualifications to say he."

"Indeed, in this regard, you have no right to talk about him." The system's expression changed slightly, and then he glanced at Yi Guang, "At best, it's just 'understanding', when the real thing is imminent, it's unresponsive to death."

"I can't refute it..." Yi Guang sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. The time left for us is running out, how are you preparing?"

"Actually, it can be activated at any time, but... are you sure you don't need to set the target as you?" The system looked at Yi Guang, "Although there are a series of problems, this is indeed a complete world."

"No need, it has been proven before that I am not suitable to be a 'Creator God'." Yi Guang sighed, "What's more, I still have the mess of "Zhan Chi" that I haven't dealt with, how can I add another one? Besides, the harvest this time is actually quite good.”

"Well, I always feel a little pity, after all, this plan was created for you at the beginning." The system sighed, "That little guy is really an unplanned product."

"Let's return it to its original owner. She was born in this world." Yi Guang shook his head, "Maybe young, maybe immature, but compared to me or Tan Lidou, she is a more suitable candidate. In this world, all the players have worked too hard, and it may be more appropriate to temporarily 'govern by doing nothing'. In other words, being a 'God' shouldn't have much sense of existence."

"You can think about it." The system sighed, "calculating the time, it will only be a few days, you should make the final preparations."

"I see."

Chapter 463 Tan Lidou who is motionless

Although the game has experienced a transformation from tense to decadent and lazy in just over a month, but for Yiguang, Kirito and others, all this has no effect.Because, the child in Asuna's womb, the formed "world will" will soon be born.In this situation, Yi Guang and the system didn't have much free time to deal with other things.

It's not that the unborn "world will" is troublesome with Asuna as the mother, but because we have to be wary of what Mr. Tan Rito will do at this time.

Yi Guang has no doubt that Mr. Game Manager may already know the existence of this "World Will".Even if he didn't know it, as the birth of the "World Will" approached, it would inevitably trigger various changes in the game.

After all, in this world, the existence of this "world will" is like the supreme god in mythology.Although Dan Lidou now holds the dominant power, as a control system bred by the world itself, this unborn "world will" is no different than Tan Lidou who is a human being.Once an existence with high qualifications for this world and considerable authority is born, it will inevitably cause drastic changes in the entire game world.

Just like in various myths, those heroes or gods will cause various visions before they are born or come into the world.Even those emperors in the history of the Celestial Dynasty who advocated the theory of "interaction between heaven and man" and superstitiously believed in the destiny of heaven, also liked to publicize in the history books what visions they had when they were born. The most famous one was probably Zhu Yuanzhang.The birth of Zhu Yuanzhang described in the history books makes people suspect that this is not the birth of a child, but the opening of the Fire Elemental Plane, and it should not be Zhu Chongba, but Ragnaros who came out.I really don't know what the hell it is that this person has such power and can still beg for food and become a monk.

Of course, many myths in the real world are man-made, but they are true in this world of data and fantasy.The birth of a powerful existence will inevitably be accompanied by some kind of large-scale data change. Although this change may not be detected by ordinary players, it will definitely be noticed by Tan Lidou, who holds the highest authority at present.

Just like at the beginning, this person did not yet have sanity, but his body grew too fast and transformed into the appearance of the "Blood Princess of the Moon".

And as an existence who holds the highest authority at present, as long as Tan Lidou is not stupid, he will basically understand how much threat this upcoming "world will" poses to him.He would definitely attack it as soon as he sensed its existence, and as its mother, Asuna's situation would naturally be very dangerous.

Theoretically, it should be so, but when the day of the child's birth really came... Yi Guang and the others waited in full force for a long time, but Tan Lidou still didn't show up after the child was born.

"What's the situation?" Yi Guang and the system stared at each other suddenly, "What is that guy doing?"

"Isn't it because of the previous incident that the existence of this world is meaningless?" Yi Guang thought for a while and raised a possibility, "Although I don't know what the motives of this guy are, but since he has been Judging from his behavior, this guy actually cares about the players very much. Especially after the commotion this time, his attitude was exposed. While he tried his best to get the players to attack, he refused to use extreme means to Let the players move."

"So, do you think this guy has given up on interfering in this world?" The system looked at Yi Guang, "Well, it sounds possible, after all, he also said at the beginning that this is a trial, and the way to human beings The trial of the new era. Although he fell a little bit in the second class, that is indeed his true idea... He is looking forward to the human beings passing his selection."

"Selection?" Yi Guang looked at the system.

"That's right, in the plot of the world he was born in, he was considered an existence that 'should not appear in this era'." The system nodded, "Transforming human beings into eternal existence through Bugster technology , This undoubtedly has a great impact on the ethics and cognition of human society. Therefore, he is evil, no matter what his starting point is, he is evil."

"Just like what he is doing now..." Yi Guang nodded, "It seems that even if the world is changed, this guy has not changed."

"No, it's changed a bit." The system waved his hand, "At least this time he took the situation under control and established such a space that is completely isolated from reality. Instead of starting directly in the metropolis like the original Spread the bugster virus."

"Well, this is a change." Yi Guang was silent for a while, then nodded, "So, after a while ago, this guy suddenly felt that the players in this world couldn't pass his selection. It's even more impossible to understand yourself? So, he started to slow down?"

"He doesn't want others to understand, setting up this so-called 'trial' is more because of his consideration as a game developer." The system shook his head, "Before Tan Lidou was a researcher, he was more of a researcher." Game developer. For him, this world and the power that this world gives him are all by-products. The meaning of this world’s existence is for the game called "Sword Art Online". Raiding a hundred floors is the main content of this game And the main line...but if no one goes to conquer the main line, then the game itself is meaningless."

Yi Guang probably understands, for Tan Lidou, it's not just this world that loses meaning.This world exists as the stage of the game "Sword Art Online". If the players completely give up the strategy of this game, then the world as the background of the stage does not matter.This can also explain the reason why Tan Lidou was unwilling to use extreme means to the players before, because Tan Lidou never thought about problems from the perspective of the boss, but from the perspective of game planning.Even though we often say that the planning of some games is stupid and crazy, the core essence is to encourage players' enthusiasm for games and promote their activity.If a certain version causes a large number of players to abandon pits, the planner will inevitably make corresponding adjustments to make up for the previous traffic loss, and will inevitably weaken dungeons or activities that are too difficult, increase dungeon or activity rewards, and compensate players... Although in Among the tens of millions of game companies, there is always a handful of people who can't see the situation clearly and plan professionally to dissuade players, but usually, the above ideas are indeed applicable to most game plans.

The current situation of "Sword Art Online" is basically equivalent to a large number of players abandoning their pits one after another.And due to various reasons, it is impossible for this game to gain a large number of new players like other normal games.

It's no wonder that Tan Lidou fell into depression after trying many failed plans to stimulate the player's activity.

This kind of situation was indeed something that no one had thought of in advance. Who would have thought that because of the writing of a law, the world would fall into the current stagnation.The originally massive "Strategy Team" became lifeless and unable to support itself in just a few months.

"It doesn't matter, it's a good thing that he doesn't show up." Yi Guang waved his hand, "Let's go and see Asuna's current situation first."

Before, because of her feminine appearance, the system played a guest role as a midwife nurse, and helped Asuna give birth to a healthy and lively little girl, that is, the "world will" that just took shape.Although it looks like an ordinary baby, whether it is Yiguang or the system, or even Kirito who has only received a part of the transformation, they can feel the inexplicable and powerful force that suddenly appeared at the moment of her birth. pressure.At the same time, the second floor of No.20, where the weather was always clear and clear, began to thunder and lightning, which lasted for a long time.

This is the "god" conceived by the world itself. Just her birth caused the astronomical changes on the second floor of No.20.Those involved such as Yi Guang could clearly see that countless faint blue rays of light emerged from the void and poured into the child's body continuously.

That is the underlying data that constitutes this world, and this child is quickly adapting and trying to dominate this world.At the same time, she was constantly growing up. In just a few minutes, the pink baby, surrounded by the blue light, quickly grew into a little girl about ten years old.

"Hey, hey? What kind of scene is this..."

Even though she knew that the child she gave birth to was not an ordinary child, Asuna was still taken aback by the situation in front of her, and even Kirito was a little surprised.But at this time, this little girl who was just born but grew extremely fast ran to Asuna's bedside, and then screamed in a crisp voice.

"Hi, Mom, Dad."

The little girl's big black eyes looked like a chick that had just hatched. Asuna was immediately conquered and accepted the title very happily.And Kirito, who was obviously also infected by Asuna's emotions, readily accepted this "daughter" who was not normal from the beginning to the end.

As an outsider, Yi Guanghe retreated out at this time very wisely, leaving time and space to the family of three.No matter what the current situation of Tan Lidou is, their plan will not change.This also meant that the family of three, who seemed very warm now, would soon follow Yi Guang and the system into some extremely dangerous situation.

Before the war begins, it is better to leave precious time to this family.

Chapter 464 Tan Lidou's New Trick

Even if Tan Lidou didn't move, Yi Guang and the others still had to continue to attack. After all, this guy's three views are different from ordinary people, and his mental state... To be honest, he is not stable.From his behavior of trapping tens of thousands of players in the game and putting them in danger in order to collect data on the evolution of the world, it can be seen that this guy is quite indifferent to the morals and laws of the human world.

If it's the kind of chaotic world where human life is worthless and only if you want to kill decisively can you get things done, Yi Guang will naturally not have any opinion of him.After all, in the world of "Zhan Chi", the role played by Yi Guang is not very glorious, and in terms of behavior, he is no better than Tan Lidou.However, the world they are currently in is a peaceful world. Although there are a considerable number of players who are dissatisfied with reality, generally speaking, most people living in this world are satisfied with this stable life. daily.

Whether it is the so-called law or morality, the essential purpose is to maintain a certain state of social balance, so that a social system can survive in a stable and regular state.Maintaining such a stable and peaceful environment for most people can probably be called "justice" in a certain sense, and "law" and "morality" are the concrete manifestations of this justice.If it is a troubled world, even the most basic peace and stability do not exist, then there is no "justice" or "law", each chooses a camp, and then fights the pain.

And Tan Lidou's "crime" is that this person destroyed this stable social system constructed by "law" and "morality" in a generally peaceful world environment.Imprison tens of thousands of players in a completely closed world, depriving them of their original right to live in the real world, and forcing them to fight against dangerous environments and various monsters.This behavior, in a certain sense, is no different from murder.At the same time, it also caused turmoil in the real world, and countless families were broken up because of his actions. He even transformed a large number of humans who belonged to the police and armies of various countries into Bugsters for control.

From the perspective of the human beings in this world, this can be called a crime against humanity.

As he himself said, this era cannot keep up with his thoughts, so he can only be evil.His ideas, his creations, and their impact on human society and ethics are too great, which makes him only a lunatic, not a great man—maybe this is also the reason for his depression.

Yi Guang thought that the man was indeed seeking approval from others.

However, understanding his actions, Yi Guang's position remains unchanged, and he must be sanctioned if he disrupts the current environment of peace and order.What's more, this guy is still the target of Yi Guang's mission, no matter whether it is public or private, it is impossible for Yi Guang to let him continue to exist in this world.

Therefore, according to the original plan, Yi Guanghe and the system are still preparing to take this newborn "World Will" named "Yui" to attack this game—yes, even if the plot collapses to this extent, Some plot inertia still exists. This little girl who is the incarnation of "World Will" replaces the existence of "Yui" who is also an artificial intelligence in the original work.

However, out of consideration of various factors, Yi Guanghe and the system chose to let Kirito and his family enjoy some warm time.This is what they deserve. After all, it is not a happy thing to let a newly born little girl and two teenage girls accompany them to a dangerous place.

I hope everything can end as expected...

However, not long after Yi Guang made this decision, things changed again.

"See you again, Spearman!"

Tan Lidou appeared when no one expected it.He didn't choose the moment when Yui was born, when everyone was ready for battle, but when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and their mentality was relatively calm.

Is this your strategy too?Yi Guang thought to himself, and at the same time launched his own "Divine Domain".

Although Tan Lidou was not equipped with his unique black and white armor, his whole body exuded a power that even Yi Guang would shy away from.This made Yi Guang frowned, the opponent's posture, even a fool would know that the visitor was not kind.Both sides have stepped into the existence of the gods, and Yi Guang will not think that the other party is not equipped with his own armor, so he has no combat effectiveness.

"Spearman, I won this time!" Sure enough, while Tan Lidou said the lines that confused Yi Guang, a burst of black mist erupted, covering his whole body.At the same time, a huge phantom clock appeared behind him again, "I've already finished, the last step...how about you?"

Hearing Tan Lidou's words, Yi Guang frowned in confusion, but he would not stop attacking Tan Lidou because of the confusion in his heart, after all, the other party had transformed.So he didn't reply, but directly summoned his dragon hunting gun, and stabbed towards Tan Lidou.

The divine domain of flames covered the land, and flames from all directions gathered like tides following Yi Guang's movements.Transformed into the shadow of a huge and blurred beast, it rushed towards Tan Lidou, within the domain of gods, the world seemed to be collapsing in the direction of Tan Lidou.It seems that the great power of the universe is gathered in one person.

"It's still such a domineering power..." Tan Lidou, who was shrouded in mist, sighed, "But, is this really the real power of this 'small world'? Spearman, the me now is not the me I used to be Already! The talent of the highest god! Kuroto Da-n! Kuroto Da-n!"

As Tan Lidou shouted the command, the mist around him dispersed, and a brand-new armed force appeared in everyone's sight.At the same time, the phantom of the clock representing the power of time was also shattered at this time, but the power of time that was fighting against Yi Guang's God Domain did not disappear.Obviously, the meaning of the broken clock is not because Tan Lidou lost this power, it may also represent another, worse meaning.

But before Yi Guang could think too much, he immediately realized something was wrong.Tan Lidou's figure in front of him suddenly became faster, and then a huge force broke through the flames as if the sky was falling apart, and instantly hit Yi Guang who was attacking first.The divine domain of flames shattered the moment it was hit, and Yi Guang's body was ruthlessly blown away by this powerful force.

"It seems that the effect is not bad. You have seen it, my true strength." Tan Lidou, who showed a new posture, said to Yi Guang in mid-air, "This is the most powerful work I have ever done. Now I have successfully Its world has been restored and upgraded. As for its name, you can call it 'God Limit Player Lv.Billion', this is the form of God in this world!"

"Your aesthetics are really not that good...ahem!" Yi Guang felt his internal organs were burning.Since he came to this point, he has never suffered such a serious injury. "Can such a ridiculous image be called a god?"

Indeed, this armed form that Tan Lidou called "God Limit Player Lv. Billion" is really ridiculous.Not only is it not as handsome as the previous black and white "zombie player" form, it can even be said to be a little childish, similar to the form called "Kabuda Giant" in the ancient special drama "Iron Armor Little Treasure", Simple and crude design.After enlarging the head of my own armor and putting it on the chest as a breastplate, the overall shape of the bicep is like a Q-version character who came out of the anime.

However, this ridiculous appearance did not affect his formidable strength. With just one blow, he countered Yi Guang's attack and completely defeated him.Such terrifying power made Yi Guang feel unreal at this moment.However, probably because he didn't want to expand the scale of the battle, or because of other considerations, this guy only gave Yi Guang a blow, and then used another form of domain power to isolate the surrounding area.

"If I hadn't successfully restored this, I wouldn't dare to face you, and that 'source code'." Tan Lidou said as he descended from the sky, and then walked to Kirito and Aya who were stopped by the power of time. Beside Sina, "Is this the new life formed by the 'source code'? What a cute little girl..."

Saying that, Tan Lidou was about to stretch out his hand to stroke Yui's little head, and Yui naturally had a strong resistance to him.As the only existence other than Yiguang and Tan Rito himself who can live in the time domain, Yui launched a self-defense counterattack without hesitation.

"Ah, you bastard, don't come near me!"

The faint blue light gathered in Yui's hands into a powerful and destructive attack mode, and then fought towards Tan Lidou.Even though she was just born and was completely ignorant, Yui, as the "world will", has already engraved her instinct to use the ability of this world.She can mobilize these energies according to her own will without a teacher, and Tan Lidou's battle with Yi Guang just now made him understand that this is a very threatening enemy.
