I like crossing the most

Chapter 553 Sword Art Online (SAO)

My consciousness was gradually pulled away, as if I had passed through a tunnel, and the concept of time gradually disappeared.

Xiao Lin has never actually entered the time tunnel, but somehow he has this awareness now.

Soon, he came to a platform.

There was nothing here, just a pure white space that was dazzling. Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, a familiar mechanical sound rang out.

[Please set the character image]

Then a mannequin that looked very much like Kobayashi but was only wearing briefs appeared in front of him. It was without any aura and its appearance was too abrupt, which scared him so much that he couldn't help but take a step back.

"It's just superfluous stuff."

I couldn't help but complain.

She just wanted to play in the virtual city for a while, but she took so much effort to set up her image. Is that stupid goddess just too bored?
That's right, at this time he had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although Kobayashi expressed disgust, his hands couldn't help but move because he wanted to see the limits of this virtual image.

If the mouth is too upright and the body is upright, it belongs.

My image is the default setting, so I don't need to change it, but the restoration is quite realistic, 80% of him is handsome. The remaining 20% ​​is probably because he has no vitality.

No, no, no, shouldn’t we use a male character at this time?

Try female roles no matter what.

Therefore, Sato Kazuma, Duster and the cheerful and handsome guy Mitsurugi Hibiki were all banished to the cold palace and sentenced to death.

As for the female characters, we start with the most familiar Darkness, then Aqua, Megumin, and Yunyun, until we encounter difficulties with Wiz.

"Hmm... So there are still limitations? That weak lich girl's breasts are really big, but even if I adjust the value to the highest, it's still not enough. It seems that it still won't work. Forget it, let's leave it at that. Let's try someone else next."

Not only several members of the team, but also Alice, Kureya and Rain, he restored them one by one, with a level of detail of at least 90%!
Oops, this is really fun!

Even if it was the simplest model modification (character creation) game, Xiaolin felt that he could play it here for a whole day.

"No, no, I got a little carried away."

Pat the cheeks.

The main purpose of this trip is to accompany Alice to visit Tokyo. How can we waste time here? Let's come back and play when we have the chance.

Thinking of this, Xiaolin changed back to his original appearance.

Due to lack of trust in the team members, those problem children might change into strange images. In order for everyone to gather smoothly, there must be a character that everyone knows. Kobayashi reluctantly took on this role.

As for the character name...

"Is it necessary to set character names? That stupid goddess has done so much useless work."

I just randomly set it to Kobayashi.

"Okay, we can finally start!"

Then--

He came to a busy street, surrounded by many pedestrians wearing simple adventurer suits. Some of them were chatting with each other in groups of three or five, while others were walking out of the city in groups.

"... huh?"

Xiao Lin was completely dumbfounded.

There were no modern buildings around him, everything was in the style of another world. He was also wearing the same clothes as those people.

It was a different world before I entered the virtual world, and it was still a different world after I entered the virtual world. So didn’t I enter it in vain?
"What the hell..."

I really want to think that this is the work of the stupid goddess and blame all the problems on her, but now it seems that the problem is more serious than I thought.

"So, after all, it's still..."

"I say you, team up with me."

"Oh, what should I do?"

The voices of people talking around him kept falling into Xiaolin's ears.

This world is so real!
When I entered the virtual world before, the NPCs were as real as these people, but at least they didn’t say weird things.

Virtual technology, game team, online forum

Such obviously modern terms, coming from the mouths of medieval characters, looked weird no matter how you looked at them. Until he heard someone say the name "Kayaba Akihiko", he subconsciously pressed that person's shoulder.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say about Kayaba Akihiko?"

"……Eh?"

I don’t know if it was because Xiaolin’s question was too strange, or because he was scared by the fact that the man was a head taller than him, but there was fear in the man’s eyes.

His companions couldn't bear it any longer.

"I said, you..."

"I'm sorry, I was reckless. I was just a little excited when I heard the name. I apologize if I gave you a bad impression."

Xiaolin's daily breast method, pretending that she had no ill intentions. Unexpectedly, the man's cheeks turned slightly red, and he said rather shyly that he was fine.

No, you're blushing like a bubble teapot!
But when her companion called her Rinko, Kobayashi realized that the other party was a woman playing a male role.

The two started arguing about Xiaolin's appearance. One said that it was just a made-up character, so why should he be shy? The other said that it was definitely not made-up...

Kobayashi didn't have time to explain these little things. He wanted to ask about Kayaba Akihiko to confirm his guess.

"What? You don't even know Kayaba Akihiko? Ah, it's common. You play excellent games but don't know who developed and created them. How can you still be considered a qualified player? You, apologize to all the creators of excellent games!"

"You're going too far, Xiaochun."

The male character named Koharu seemed very upset with Xiaolin, and it was unclear whether he had just offended her friendship. However, she still explained Kayaba Akihiko and this game to Xiaolin as a game player.

Sword Art Online

Unfortunately, Xiao Lin didn't listen to what she said: "I always use that sentence to tease you, but I didn't expect it to be connected to this..."

He murmured softly.

"Hey, I'm teaching you science seriously, and you dared to be distracted? You're so brave!"

"Xiaochun, don't be angry!"

"I just wanted to say, Rinko, I've told you so many times that this is a made-up character image. The real one is definitely a sloppy, unkempt, foot-picking guy, so stop being a fangirl! You can't create female characters for game characters like this, otherwise those guys will circle around you like flies."

The two quarreled again.

However, what she said did wake Kobayashi up. Aqua and the others might be in distress now, so they had to be found quickly.

"Sorry, both of you, I have something urgent to do right now, so I'll be leaving first."

"Good, good."

"If you don't mind, I'd like to introduce my friends to you later. Can you wait here for a while?"

"Huh?! Why should I wait here..."

"Okay, if that's okay."

"See you later, then."

After saying goodbye to the two and adding them as friends, he left.

Fortunately, they are the group of No-Brain and Unhappy. Now this game has become a death game, and their heads will really be roasted when their health points reach zero. If I tell them that there is a problem with the game and they should not leave the city now, No-Brain, Koharu, will definitely go out of the city, and then Kobayashi will end up with a bad intention. But if we set our target on No-Brain, Rinko, we can hold them back.

He would not come back to meet them.

Although they would be angry if they stood me up and might even send me an email to blame me, it was much better to waste time in the boring town than to risk death outside the city.

Xiaolin ran quickly in the starting town.

I don’t know if the stupid goddess’ resurrection will work here. The most urgent thing is to find Aqua and the others. If my health points drop to zero by accident…

hateful!

It's quite difficult to find them here. You should know that the starting town is the starting point at the southern end of the first layer, which occupies about two-tenths of the area of ​​the bottom layer. It is a semicircular area with a diameter of one kilometer surrounded by a city wall. It is also the largest city in Aincrad.

Plus, the entire floor is almost identical to the Chiyoda area, so it might be more convenient to look for it when Kayaba Akihiko gathers all the players in the square.

However, he overlooked the characteristics of Aqua and the others.

Problem children are problem children no matter where they are. Their existence is like a scourge that disrupts the world, and their destructive power is no joke.

And in the middle of a certain street, a large group of people gathered there.

"Come on, come on, don't miss it if you pass by! Next, I will perform exquisite talents for you, and I guarantee that you will exclaim in amazement! But I must make one thing clear in advance, I don't make a living by performing, so absolutely no tips are needed. Then - flowers, birds, wind and moon!"

A very cheerful voice came from the crowd.

Kobayashi looked over and saw Aqua standing on a wooden box, performing a gorgeous show for the crowd watching below.

This was a talent show that was enough to make people exclaim "miracle" even with the system. Cheers and applause continued to come, and at the same time, the nervousness that had made him worried disappeared.

In addition to Aqua performing on the stage, there were also Darkness, Yunyun, and Huihui below, and Rikushi also joined them.

They were also surrounded by a crowd, but the difference was that those around Darkness and the others were all people who had invited them to form a team.

【Unhappy】You are right.

The female characters in the game are indeed very popular, and these people don't care even if their real identity is likely to be a big man who picks his toes.

After all, Lucian, a tough guy who had been hurt, once said: No matter what happens in real life, isn't it enough to be cute in the game?

I didn't expect to be this hungry.

Xiaolin sighed and came over to them: "What are you doing to cause such a commotion."

"Xiao Lin!"

"You're finally here, Xiaolin!"

"Too slow, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"I think when Mr. Kobayashi was designing the image, he must have tried all the images of everyone because of his dirty thoughts. Then out of condemnation and guilt in his heart, he finally chose to show the original appearance, so it's so late."

As expected of her as his closest maid, this almost completely correct reasoning seemed as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"I would like to ask you, why didn't you change your image?"

Xiaolin looked at the familiar people.

Apart from the equipment they wore being different from usual, their appearance and height had not changed at all.

"I don't understand, so I just choose to look normal."

Darkness's reason was simple, so normal that it made people feel that she was a little abnormal.

The same goes for Yoyo.

Liu Zi was disdainful of any changes. Designed by the most outstanding watchmaker, she was naturally the most perfect.

Kobayashi agreed with this point.

Hui Hui crossed her arms and said, “Humph, that kind of thing doesn’t matter at all. I just set it up as usual.”

duang~~~
"No, no, no, you're not."

Xiao Lin looked at her breasts which were even more exaggerated than Youyou's. He could understand the little girl's resentment towards the airport, but the proportions would become weird if she did this. Wouldn't she feel that her center of gravity would be unstable?
At the same time, he also realized that there was still a lot of room for development in the character creation system.

"Come on, Youyou, let's continue the competition that failed last time - the competition of development among the Red Demons. I will definitely not lose to you this time!"

“This isn’t the real you! Huihui, you’re just kidding!”

"Does that mean you admit defeat?"

"I do not want!"

Huihui has a strange desire to win.

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes, then asked, "Are these the only ones now? What about the others? Haven't they joined up yet?"

“Yeah. Since we don’t know what’s going on, we asked Aqua to do something that can attract attention.” Darkness explained why Aqua was performing on the street.

I have to say, quite smart.

Aqua is a natural comedian, and her presence will definitely attract people she knows.

"What are you guys doing?"

A deep and magnetic voice came from behind.

Xiaolin turned around and saw a male character. To put it simply, he was handsome, but a little too handsome to be real, just like feeding a picture of a handsome man in real life to AI and then converting it.

“…Who are you?”

"It's me! Sato Kazuma!"

"But the sound..."

"This game also has an option to change the voice, don't you know?"

Sato Kazuma changed his voice back.

Darkness said with disdain: "How shameless you are to make yourself look so handsome. I really can't stand a man like you."

“Kazuma, I understand that you’re not confident about your looks, but you can’t fool yourself.” Megumin patted his shoulder.

"…I don't want you to say that."

Sato Kazuma stared at her breasts that were disproportionate to her size.

Xiaolin was quite surprised: "I didn't expect that Sato-kun didn't create a female character. I thought you played a female character."

"It's true that 'most of the people who control female characters are big men who pick their toes,' but when I think about this being a virtual reality game, I feel a bit physically resistant." Sato Kazuma rubbed his shoulders.

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that he is not a complete scumbag yet.

"Besides... with my face, I can have any beautiful female character follow me."

Take it back he is a complete scumbag.

"By the way, this game..."

"Ah, I know. It seems something extraordinary has happened. But let's talk about it after everyone is gathered."

Sato Kazuma also realized that something was wrong.

But now is not the time to explain.

----

In the pitch-black virtual space, an ordinary man in a white coat and black-framed glasses was rapidly pressing buttons in front of a light screen.

His name is Kayaba Akihiko, he is the designer of this game and he is currently doing the final debugging.

However, he encountered a problem.

"Interesting. There are actually ten illegal accounts."

I muttered to myself and no one heard me.

You have to know that there are only 10,000 accounts opened in the first batch, and there are 10 black accounts that have sneaked in this time, a one in a thousand chance. If the leaders of some big game companies knew about this, they would definitely be furious, after all, this is not a small probability, and it also means that his game has loopholes.

But strangely, he was able to easily control these outsiders.

This is like a thief who went through so much trouble, thought, and even used some unknown method to break into a prison just to fall into a trap. It is so strange that it is hard not to wonder if there is a trap in this.

But he won't stop.

There is only one chance, and for his dream, even accidents cannot stop him.

Come on, let's start the game.

The white light from the screen illuminated the man's somewhat paranoid smile.

Lucian is a game character created by the male protagonist in "The Online Heroine Can't Be My Wife". The famous quote "It doesn't matter if the person behind the screen is a man or a woman, as long as the game character is cute, isn't that enough?" comes from his wise words.
