The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 20: Be well prepared and be far ahead!
At the same time.

In the real world, police stations and some news agencies have received unknown anonymous letters.

Over here at the police station.

The letter mentioned: SAO is a "death game" created by Kayaba Akihiko!
Once players enter, they will not be able to log out, and their personal consciousness will be trapped in the game world.

In addition, taking off the gaming helmets that players wear outside without reason will not only fail to help players quit the game, but will instead facilitate the gaming helmets to destroy important information such as the human brain.

Never take off your helmet!
Never take off your helmet!
"Are you kidding? A death game.

This game is very popular.

The developers are crazy to make this a death game."

The female police officer who opened the anonymous letter and read the information inside did not take the contents seriously at all.

but.

As a qualified police officer.

It was impossible for her to decide such a thing on her own.

Therefore, she shared the information with the members of the same group and then reported it to the team leader.

When everyone first heard the content of the letter, they also expressed disbelief.

However, based on the principle of preferring to believe it to be true, and considering that the incident mentioned in the letter broke out at 5: p.m., several people in the same group quickly and solemnly handed the letter over.

Wait until the first person dies accidentally because his gaming helmet is forcibly removed.

All the police officers in the police station who read this anonymous letter felt their scalps tingling.

"Is it true?"

That gaming helmet can really kill people?
"Something happened!"

"Quickly, inform the families of all users who have purchased SAO gaming helmets and tell them not to use them recklessly.

It is best to let those who have not logged into the game put their gaming helmets aside directly.

For those who have already logged in, warn their families not to touch them and wait for the police and relevant technical personnel to handle it..."

The police department has launched a major operation.

The news media, which had smelled the fishy smell early on, were even more efficient.

For a moment, the whole city fell into inexplicable chaos.

...

In the SAO game world.

Kayaba Akihiko, who was connected to the external network and receiving various news reports, frowned slightly and looked quietly at the warning letter in his hand that he had not yet sent out, and fell into a brief silence.

"who is it?
Who saw through my plan?
He actually alerted the police and the media before I did."

Wait until he checked the background data.

It was immediately discovered that there was indeed a player who had not logged into the SAO game world.

"Forget it, even if it's discovered in advance, it won't affect my plan anyway..."

What impact could it have if only one of the 1 people didn't log in?

...

In the blink of an eye, nearly four hours passed.

Good combat quality, increasingly tacit teamwork, exclusive access to high-quality wild monster refresh areas and NPC tasks, knowledge of various wild monster data, and single-minded high-efficiency leveling...

With the help of these, the character levels of the five people in the SAO game world are rapidly improving.

Among them, Wang Teng, who had a pair of eyes with excellent dynamic vision, relied on this talent to always maintain the highest efficiency in killing monsters. In addition, at this time, no outsiders came to grab the high experience tasks that NPC only issued every day, so the income was quite high, and he entered level 6 ahead of everyone else.

Such a good thing will never happen again after this death game is officially launched.

Because by then, hundreds of closed beta testers will come here to grab quests and monsters, and without the extra experience provided by sufficient NPC quests, it will be difficult to upgrade quickly.

I can be thankful if I can reach level 4 on the first day.

"Let's go back to the village to get something."

"it is good."

The leveling speed of Li Xia and his companions was undoubtedly far ahead of those leisurely players.

Even the protagonist of the original work, Kirito, who clearly had a considerable advantage as a closed beta tester, was only at level 2 because he was sharing experience with a new friend while also having to personally teach the complete novice how to release skills and how to deal with attacks from wild monsters.

Outside the west city of the starting town.

Kirito and his new gaming friend Klein are sitting on a patch of grass admiring the beautiful sunset scenery of the SAO gaming world:
"How about it, Klein, do you want to continue fighting monsters for a while?"

"Of course…"

"Gulu..."

"Uh, okay, I wanted to continue. But I'm hungry, so I have to log off for a while to fill my stomach, hehe."

Klein touched his game character's belly and said embarrassedly.

Kirito nodded after hearing this: "Indeed, the food here can only eliminate the character's feeling of hunger, but it cannot really solve the real hunger of the outside body."

"Don't worry, it will be quick. I already ordered a hot pizza for 5: before I logged into SAO."

"Tsk, you are really well prepared." "That's right, let's fight after dinner."

Klein, who was sitting on the grass, slowly stood up and grabbed Tong Laoye:
"Hey, I'm going to meet up with some good friends I met in other games later. Let's add them as friends and play together? They're all very nice and reliable."

'Add friend?'

Kirito suddenly felt embarrassed.

He is half socially phobic.

Ever since he learned that he and his current sister were not biological siblings, but cousins, and that he was just the adopted one, he has been very reluctant to interact with people around him.

I spend most of my time alone, immersed in the world of games.

He was suddenly asked to socialize with so many people, which made him very uncomfortable.

As a professional, Klein could see at a glance the difficulty of his new friend who had been with him for the entire afternoon, and he quickly waved his hand:

"Okay, I just mentioned it casually. I'll have the chance to introduce them to you in the future. Don't force it."

"Well, thanks."

Kirito breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Kirito-kun, I should be the one saying thank you, right? You took me with you for the whole afternoon, and I delayed your leveling."

At this point, Klein's expression became serious:
"Kirito, I'll return the favor later."

"Eh?"

Grandpa Tong was stunned.

"Haha, just mentally..."

"Oh…"

"Well, thank you very much. I will log off now."

Klein said, calling up the game interface.

Then, he stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally muttered:
"Strange, why is there no logout button?"

How is it possible that there is no logout button?
Kirito thought to himself, and then reminded Klein:
"Look carefully again. It's at the very bottom of the main menu."

But Klein searched again, still found nothing, and remained standing there:

"No, really not."

As Kirito stepped forward, he called up his game interface and glanced at the main menu.

"Huh? How come there isn't one?"

"right?"

"Ah."

"... "

“It’s understandable, after all, today is the first day of the official launch.

It's not surprising that this bug occurs.

The operators must be crying, right? "

This serious technical bug appeared on the first day of the game's public beta, and the subsequent complaint letters would probably be enough to kill me.

Klein's argument is clear and logical.

that's the truth.

Because the company responsible for operating this game is now under police control from top to bottom!
This is no longer a question of whether to cry or not!

If Kayaba Akihiko had not taken the initiative to send an email stating that this was his own work, the operator would have had ten heads shot.

Wait until the time comes to 17:30.

In the game world, the sound of "dong dong dong" suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the first level of the SAO game world.

It also rang in the ears of all players.

It gives people an inexplicable sense of tension.

Immediately afterwards, more than 9,000 players who were still online, whether they had discovered the bug in the game system or not, whether they were players near the Starting Town or Li Xia and his four companions who were far away in the next town, all returned to the square of the Starting Town in the blue teleportation light.

"Is this... forced teleportation?"

"Ah? What happened?"

"do not know."

Every returning player became nervous.

"Brother Xia..."

"Don't worry!"

ps: Brothers who have recommended votes, you know...

Thank you!
During the new book period, follow-up reading and recommendation tickets are very useful.

Give me as much as you can.
