Akihiko Kayaba, the designer of the initial system and some key hardware of the sao game, used the administrator account "Heathcliff" to pretend to be the character of the player logging in to the game.

He personally fled the island country before the game started. After all, he can guess the consequences of "kidnapping" a large number of people in various countries in this way.

But this is "no way". Originally, the game was scheduled to be released only in China, and at most it would only be considered a domestic incident, but after all, he is not a department executive in charge of decision-making and marketing. Business competition also affects the technical field. But it can’t be solved, in short, it was messed up by an external company opponent. If the game is to be completed, it has to be exchanged for technology sharing and cooperation among various countries, and the result has become what it is now.

He has already prepared himself to be treated equally with other players once he dies in the game, so he doesn't care about the bad situation in the real island country.

Although he has the freedom to log out normally, he regards Sao as his own world—creating a fantasy world has always been his dream.

Since the dream is to create a different world, not to make games, of course the players who enter sao must be as real as reality—the same appearance as reality, and the same life as reality, only once.

It is a fact of life that a person will die if he is killed.

He was just chasing a childlike dream, no matter how much trouble it caused others.

But he found that there were foreign objects that he couldn't control.

A magic skill that doesn't match the name of the game Sao appeared, and a high-intelligence AI npc that the current game memory cannot support in large quantities appeared, which should have caused the system to be overloaded, but there is no sign of the system being overloaded yet.

But when Akihiko Kayaba wanted to activate administrator privileges to operate these npcs and skills that did not match the game settings, he found that he could not modify them directly. If he had to do it, he could only strip out all the software and hardware for replacement. You have to stop the game first.

Now once the game is suspended, the outside world will definitely not give a chance to restart it.

While chatting with consolation, he thought "forget it, it might be more interesting to get closer to the real world of impermanence", while simply forming a team to find places with too many unexpected elements and integrate them into the local area as normal as possible, so that observe.

The best place for him to observe at present is the place where he is eating now as Heathcliff—

The setting is an inn opened by a shopkeeper with a noble and secret identity, and players who can use magic stay there.

Speaking of which, the npc was released before the game was released, and an actor named Flander played it directly. If the system hadn't determined that the unit was definitely not connected to nervgear or similar equipment in reality, Frenda would not have purchased it in reality. After the equipment was used and brought into the hospital, Akihiko Kayaba suspected that the owner of the shop was operated by Frenda.

However, the shop owner's AI may refer to the data of words and deeds used by Flander in the performance.

In the end, he had no choice but to intensify his observations. It happened that this place was a stronghold for a small team to operate near the central tower of Aincrad. The door is also 20 minutes away, and overall it is not bad; moreover, the living experience here is not bad.

However, I didn't expect the store owner to start issuing tasks to summon players.

Because in the system designed by Kayaba Akihiko, the tasks are all automatically generated in accordance with the activities of the players in different places without any sense of incongruity and integrated into the virtual life. The logic is meticulous. The other players who completed the task intercepted and killed the lord. The result of killing the lord is not only the failure of the **** player's mission, but the lord's family and heirs will want to hunt down the murderer who killed the lord. Once they enter the city, they will be attacked by the guards, and there may also be some The level of the lord's family has soared in a short period of time, and they act for revenge, and issue tasks to the players to assist in revenge or arrest the enemy.

It is not uncommon for players to stumble or even die because they failed to keep up with this virtual reality routine in the early days.

So, is the purpose of the shopkeeper issuing the mission, is it to prepare to recruit combat forces to regain his status? He specifically emphasized that he loves the world and is enterprising, which is really decent.

But it is basically impossible to use the player as the standard. After all, most hardworking players want to leave this world. It is possible that players who like this world will mostly stay in the city after practicing the production profession. The level is safe enough in the surrounding wilderness. However, more than one-fifth of the players have never even left their starting towns.

Just in time, he originally planned to form a larger strategy guild at the right time. Maybe the system and map have changed a lot compared to the beta test period, and the speed of players' strategy and integration into Sao's life is much slower than he imagined. Then Give it a push.

Although it is difficult to find, it is really not difficult for him who can call up all the data and records of the player at any time, just have to think about how to look more natural.

………………………

After Kraunpith released the task, he observed it for more than half a month. Apart from the fact that these tenants would sometimes meet at breakfast and dinner according to the eating rules, have some exchanges, and a girl with a middle name sneaked out in the middle of the night. It was a bit noisy to go out to practice swords and whips, but there was no other reaction.

However, not long after the news of the successful capture of the first floor spread, and a few days later, even the second floor was also captured. That evening, one hour after the dinner time, Argo brought three new guest. "..." Crohnpiss, who opened the door to welcome the guests, was embarrassed for two seconds.

Although she didn't deliberately touch the big cake that Otohime made in Academy City~lightnovelpub.net~ and didn't bother going to the server hundreds of thousands of miles away, but people who were considered reliable by the intelligence dealers came and went Is there not much to go?

The person Argo sent was a black-haired boy with a fair face in black clothes, a black-haired girl with a short cut, and a chestnut-haired girl with a pair of braids tied at the back of her head into a butterfly shape.

"Ah la la," she immediately put on a professional smile, and said, "Mr. Kirito, Miss Lyfa, Miss Asuna...Although I really want to welcome you, there is only one double room left."

"Eh? So you... shop owner, do you know us?" Lyfa asked in surprise.

Of course, Kirito's sister here is also beyond the expectations of Klauenpiss after understanding the plot information.

Even if the sales volume has increased, Kirito's younger sister in the original time and space didn't like vr games at first. The reason why she played vr games was because sao almost took away her brother whom she had a crush on, and made her swear at him for avoiding her The world I entered is full of curiosity.

So now this is?
