The Yuki siblings who got into the car were talking to Osamu Uesugi through the open window. Yuki Aina even deliberately extended an arm to wave goodbye.
Osamu Uesugi, who was standing at the door with a smile on his face, also waved his hand. He waited until the eye-catching tail lights disappeared at the end of the road before he returned to his room.
From Koichiro Yuki's performance today, it was clear how attractive the world of SAO was to people. Although it was only a small beta, we could already foresee the grand scene when the game was officially released.
Although this was a game,
But it was not a joke.
--Designer of the " SAO Sword God Encounter ", Hayaba Akihiko
Two months later, the closed beta of the game, The Sword God Encounter, ended. The final results were gratifying. Through the data feedback from the system, the developers made more advanced upgrades to its internal configuration.
After the completion of the closed beta, the players and ARGUS released a lot of recorded videos about the game world. People on the Internet also praised them. With these resources, SAO Sword God Encounter was once again pushed into a real-time hot discussion.
However, just a month later, ARGUS took advantage of the popularity to announce the official opening of the SAO Sword God Encounter. This time, the number of players would increase to 10000, which was ten times the number of players in the previous closed beta.
ARGUS Research Lab
"To ensure the stability of the game, we have already replaced the latest machines. All the technicians will also be observing in the research lab in real time to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
Kazuhiko Hayaba sat in his seat and said to Osamu Uesugi.
"I believe you, Mr. Hayata. After all, there were no problems during the closed beta, so there's no need to worry.”
Osamu Uesugi said helplessly to Hayaba Akihiko. He did not understand why Hayaba Akihiko had called him to the research lab. He said that as the big boss, he had the obligation to take a look at the current situation of the game.
After listening to Kazuhiko Hayaba's explanation about the changes to the game's settings, the sky outside had already darkened. After memorizing the information about the changes, Osamu Uesugi said goodbye.
"Yes, I know what you said. I'll log into the game early tomorrow.”
After saying that, Osamu Uesugi hurriedly stood up and was about to walk out of the door, but Kazuhiko Hayaba, who had been looking down at his computer, called out to him.
"Wait a minute, this is your new NERvGear. It's better than the original one.”
Kazuhiko Hayaba took out a new NERvGear from the drawer and handed it to Osamu Uesugi, who was standing beside him.
Looking at the streamlined helmet in his hand, Osamu Uesugi's eyes flickered. He knew that this new NERvGear was the key tool that Kazuhiko Hayaba would use to carry out his plan.
There were countless signal components buried inside the NERvGear, and the helmet was directly connected to the user's brain through the multiple electric fields generated by these components. It then intercepted the neural commands issued by the user's brain, and then stimulated the brain to form illusion commands to complete various movements in the virtual world.
During the internal testing, the NERvGear could be used normally. However, in the official version of NERvGear, Kazuhiko Hayaba had replaced a special signal transmitter. These special accessories would emit strong microwave waves under certain circumstances, which would interfere with the human brain and cause friction and heat until it was destroyed.
Just like a microwave oven, the principle was the same. By heating up the user's brain, it was directly destroyed. This was the method that Kazuhiko Hayaba came up with.
Whether it was a new player or an old player, after the game was officially released, they would change to a new NERvGear.
Osamu Uesugi was well aware of Hayaba Kyokihiko's methods. He had thought that after spending time with him, he would be able to let him live. In the end, he was still given such an outcome. Osamu Uesugi felt a little aggrieved.
However, when he thought about the information that Hayaba Kyokihiko had just told him, he probably wanted to give Osamu Uesugi an advantage and not let him die for no reason.
After putting away the new NERvGear, Osamu Uesugi turned his head to express his gratitude to Kazuhiko Hayaba. Then, he prepared to go back and find someone to dismantle these devices and replace them. If they could not be replaced, he would use the original ones. After all, he would not put his life in the hands of others.
"Uesugi-kun…"
Just as Osamu Uesugi was about to leave the room, Hayaba Akaihiko called out to him again.
"Hmm? Is there anything else, Mr. Hayaba?”
Osamu Uesugi pretended to be confused as he looked at Hayaba Kyokihiko's complicated expression.
"You must survive.”
Perhaps, Hayaba Akihiko himself did not know how he felt about Osamu Uesugi. He was clearly the benefactor who had saved his dreams, but he had to let him participate in this cruel game of death. Hayaba Akihiko felt very uncomfortable. He could only try his best to tell Osamu some key information in the game to make himself feel better.
"Do you really not regret this, Jingyan?”
Shinshiro Rinko quietly walked into the office and asked Hayaba Akihiko with a worried look in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Kazuhiko Hayaba closed his eyes and shook his head. After a few seconds of silence, he said,"
"We have no way out. For SAO, everything is worth it.”
"Yes, I've always believed in you, just like in the past and in the future.”
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Go and make some preparations. We'll leave this place immediately. Also, seal off the fifth underground floor and don't let anyone in.”
Because of the sensational event that was going to happen tomorrow, Hayaba Kyokihiko and Shinshiro Rinko had to find a hiding spot overnight to prevent being found. The fifth floor underground was where all the processors of the SAO Sword God Encounter were stored.
·····································
the next day
"Everyone, let's begin! For this week's MMOStream, let's first take a look at a video. This is the scene from last week's launch day.“
The interview moved along with the camera, and the audience in front of the TV saw a large number of people waiting in front of the various game stores, forming a long line.
"What are so many people waiting for? The answer is SwordArtOnline. It's said that some people have been queuing up for three days. You're indeed a real player…"
Those who didn't manage to get the game could only watch the host's introduction on the TV. Those who were lucky enough to get the game lay on their beds early, put on their exclusive NERvGear, and began to explore the world of SAO.
At the same time, at Uesugi's house, Osamu Uesugi was lying on his bed. He was ready to enter the game with his NERvGear.
Although there was no longer the threat of dying in the game and dying in real life, they would still be trapped in the game because they did not have the logout button. Before this, Osamu Uesugi had specially instructed the maid, Deep Snow, not to mess up.
In addition, a few days ago, he even took the time to visit the Yecheng family and handed the modified NERvGear and game parts to Koichiro. Seeing that Koichiro accepted these things with a smile, Uesugi Osamu secretly thought to himself.
"Laugh, laugh as much as you want. When we get out of the game, you'll have to call me brother-in-law.”(Yes! What kind of crazy idea is this? I treat you like a brother, and you actually want to sleep with my sister?）
It was a pity that Koichiro Yuki couldn't see what Osamu Uesugi was thinking. Otherwise, he would have invited Osamu Uesugi to his house to meet his parents with a smile.
Then, the real SAO was about to begin.
