Chapter 186 A Brand New Era!

　　 AD 2004...

　　 The human society finally gave birth to (tui) and gave birth to (guang) the true ‘virtual reality’ technology.

　　——

　　 Time: June 6th, 12 o'clock noon.

　　 "Hello everyone, it's the weekend again, it's still the game chat time we are familiar with."

　　 "Well, today, the main topic should have been guessed."

　　 "Sword·Art·Online"

　　""S·A·O" for short, a virtual reality online game."

　　 "The **** tycoons in the listening circle said that someone had already ran out to the store to wait three days before the hardware helmet went on sale, so enthusiastic."

　　 "It's just that the official preparations are very adequate in terms of inventory this time. The early customers think that they will not be able to buy them if they are late. It is completely redundant."

　　 "However, true game fans have to be like this."

　　 "Well, I'm actually so excited, but unfortunately I still can't go away, otherwise I really want to be the first batch of players to log in at the first time."

　　 "If you say that, the boss can hear you."

　　 "Ah, please do not deduct QAQ from salary"

　　 "Ahem!"

　　 "In short, there is still one hour before the official server launch. During this time, let us introduce to you in detail, the world's most watched epoch-making hardware technology-NERvGear."

　　 "There are also matching background information on ‘S·A·O’."

　　……

　　 For game lovers in Yuanshijie, the midsummer season of 2004 is a milestone for ushering in the ‘new lifestyle’.

　　 At the same time, for everyone in the world, this is also the beginning of a ‘new era’.

　　 Its name: Data Age!

　　 First, the quantum technology named ‘NERvGear’ was promoted, followed by "Sword·Art·Online".

　　 This is undoubtedly the opportunity for everyone on earth to usher in their own "second life".

　　 However, what few people know is: Although S·A·O is a virtual game...

　　 But in essence, it is not a joke!

　　 It's the day of service...

　　｛Sister, it seems that I am very interested in this game! }

　　Tokyo, academy city, in the dormitory building of the private Tokibandai High School, a girl with a double ponytail tea hair with a bow hair ornament is sitting on the edge of her bed, shaking her calf.

She looked at someone on the other single bed in the room, humming and unpacking, and muttered pointedly: “Obviously other aspects of school rules are so strict, but at this time, they are uncharacteristically supporting students to tinker with entertainment. It's weird."

"but……"

　　 There was a **** smile on her face suddenly, "I heard that this thing can completely sink the user's consciousness, then when my sister is playing games..."

　　 "Hei~zi~" There was a conspicuous electric arc on someone who was yelled at by the tea-haired girl.

　　 "Hi?"

　　She, Shirai Kuroko, one of the discipline committee members of Academy City.

　　 Now I feel that my situation is very bad.

　　 And relative to her...

　　 "I had expected this situation a long time ago, but today's login event is not going to be missed, so..."

　　 Accompanying the words of ‘calm’ into the ears of ‘Heizi’, after getting out of bed, the other person walked up to his ‘school girl’ with a smile in one hand, holding something in one hand.

　　 I saw, she was holding a pure black helmet with a sense of technology in her left hand.

　　 And the right hand...

　　"~"

　　 uses a special steel wire net for restraint, and there are lightning sparks on the surface.

　　 It is in this atmosphere...

　　 "Are you obediently playing games with me?"

　　 A certain bilibili squinted his eyes and showed a penetrating smile, and said words full of pressure, "Or in the hanging room, when the pendulum of human flesh is one day?"

　　 just after the voice fell, the arc on his right hand flickered more frequently.

　　 Seeing...

　　 "Really, things that my sister is interested in, Kuroko is of course also very interested in it."

　　 This ‘school girl’ smiled awkwardly and quickly said: "Play games, play games together."

"Well!"

　　 Someone stuffed the helmet into the arms of the ‘school girl’, but did not put down the electrified steel wire net in his right hand. “After the server starts, you will log in first... Know what I mean?”

　　 "Hmm!"

　　 school girl entered the state of chicken pecking rice.

　　……

at the same time!

　　Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, the second floor of a dessert shop named "Hoimura", indoor...

　　 "Do you really want to do this? Hono Jam."

　　 A young girl with long flax hair said with some worry, "I always feel it's impossible to do it."

　　 "That means it's so naive."

　　This is a blue-haired girl with a little ‘handsome’ temperament, "Do you think internet idols are so easy to become famous?"

　　 "How can I know if I don't try?"

Facing the two friends who had grown up playing in front of me, they all said such'disheartened' words, the girl called "Honoka" had a serious expression on her face, and she said with dissatisfaction: "The school is going to be abandoned, I can I don’t want to even see a school girl in the coming year."

　　 "But the method you have come up with now is very unreliable, you know?"

　　 "It's not a hot brain, I have serious consideration..."

　　 At this time, the pre-determined alarm clock in the room rang, and the girls were taken aback.

　　 "Well, anyway, let's ‘in’ and take a look first."

　　 "That's okay, I bought everything anyway."

"no problem."

When 　　 was speaking, three NERvGear helmets of different colors were placed beside the three girls.

　　……

on the other hand!

　　 "The opportunity is rare. The senior government decided to let people enter the ‘S·A·O’ for some intensive training."

In the old school building of 　　 鹬Xing Xing Ш Su Jian, a black-haired adult man wearing a suit with a serious expression was standing on the podium, mobilizing with dozens of students below.

　　 Today, it is obviously the weekend, but none of the students in this'Three-year Class E'was absent.

　　 And on their desks, there is a NERvGear helmet full of technology.

　　 At this moment...

　　 "Unexpectedly, after the ‘That Octopus’ was on the stand, there would be such benefits."

　　 "Yes, my family won't let me start NERvGear."

　　 "Thank you, Teacher Wu Jian."

　　 I heard the students in the audience discuss this.

　　 "Attention everyone!"

　　 On the podium, the adult male called'Teacher Wujian' exhorted: "After all, this is a training plan decided by the high-level government. Therefore, after arriving'over there,' there is not much time for'playing'."

　　 "Everyone must obey my arrangement, understand?"

　　 "Hey!"

　　The topic is here...

　　QAQ

　　 Outside the classroom, there was a sobbing sound like a ‘resent woman’.

　　 The corners of everyone's mouth in the room twitched.

　　 This situation has happened more than once in recent days.

because……

　　 "Too bully, why is there no model I can use?"

A certain yellow octopus is hammering the wall with its soft tentacles, "It is rare to play games with cute students. This is a great opportunity to greatly enhance the relationship between teachers and students. It's planned, why is it like this? (TT

　　 He really cried.

　　The students can only pretend not to notice.

　　……

　　 A similar situation is not the only one in the Far East.

　　 has been staged in different countries all over the world.

　　For example:

　　 "Ah, it's really interesting..."

　　 On an invisible floating island above Northern Europe, a blond man dressed in a medieval aristocratic style is talking to himself meaningfully.

　　 In front of him, is a virtual projection screen.

On the screen of 　　, the promotional PV of "S·A·O" is playing.

　　 He, at the moment of freezing, saw a very familiar silver-haired figure.

　　 So, he bought a NERvGear helmet without hesitation.

　　Even if he knows, it is very likely that some confidential information in his mind will be leaked.

at the moment……

　　 "Unexpectedly, the development of the matter unexpectedly exceeded my expectations."

　　 The blond man glanced at the lower right corner of the virtual screen, showing the time in the other time zone.

　　 is approaching one o'clock in the afternoon.

　　 He immediately put on the green NERvGear helmet he specially selected.
