After obtaining S-level control of time and space, Lu Xiao discovered that traveling through the world was no different from entering the system. He stepped through the portal and arrived there, just as easily as if he were visiting a door.
The system only omits the step of the portal and uses fixed-point methods to send Lu Xiao and others to the mission world one by one. The form of expression is slightly different, but there is no difference in the essence of the use of power.
After Yongzhen came back to his senses, he looked around. The group was standing in a dark alley, surrounded by large high-rise buildings, giving it a modern urban feel.
"here it is?"
Lu Xiao did not specifically choose the exact place to intervene in the world, but only filled in the concept of "Japan".
"It should be Tokyo."
The iconic Tokyo Tower stood in the distance, emitting bright light at night, and Lu Xiao recognized it at a glance.
"Okay, let's split up next."
Lu Xiao patted Tamamo Mae's head. The soft hair and furry fox ears felt good to the touch.
"Xiaoyu, the time I chose is three days before Sword Art Online is officially launched."
"Aletheia will help you solve the accommodation problem, and you can find a way to access the SAO server yourself."
Tamamo nods expectantly: "Okay, if you need my help, you can contact me at any time."
Aletheia will leave an assistant processing clone beside Tamamo Mae to purchase real estate according to her needs and solve all Tamamo Mae's daily needs.
"As for us."
Lu Xiao thought for a while: "I plan to find a remote mountain to retreat first. Where are you, Yongzhen?"
Yongzhen is Japanese after all, and he also pays attention to the situation in modern Japan in his spare time.
"I want to go to Kyoto and visit Kiyomizu Temple and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine."
"Kyoto..."
Lu Xiao said thoughtfully: "That's fine, I might as well choose Yinyu Mountain. Anyway, there is a barrier for protection, so it's impossible for mountaineers to find me."
Qingshui Temple is located on Mount Otowa. Lu Xiao can also walk a while with Yongzhen to visit this thousand-year-old temple.
Sword Art Online opens in 2022, starting with the development of the fully immersive virtual game device NervGea by Kayaba Akihiko and the first virtual game Sword Art Online (sao for short).
This is the beginning of spring school, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
When Lu Xiao teleported to Yinyu Mountain with Yongzhen and Fenrir, there were a small number of tourists who came to enjoy the cherry blossoms on the mountain, and most of them were retired aunts and uncles.
Standing on the most famous Kiyomizu Stage of Kiyomizu Temple, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen had a panoramic view of the mountain cherry blossoms blooming on the mountain.
"Let's say goodbye here."
Lu Xiao rubbed Fenrir's head, and he still looked sleepy.
"I will first go to Yiyu Mountain to find a place to set up a barrier. You can find my location through the spatial coordinates I left behind."
…
When Lu Xiao entered the mountains and set up a position to retreat, Tamamo Mae, who was far away in the Minato District of Tokyo, anxiously walked back and forth in the villa he had just purchased.
Coincidentally, the villa Tamamo-mae chose was the one Lu Xiao temporarily bought in the Marvel world, but because the world was different, the owner for sale was different.
"It's time!"
Tamamo Mae activated the Focus bracelet: "Aletheia, please!"
Aletheia's subroutine answered mechanically: "Starting the hacking program...successful."
"Great! Link Start!"
Gamers from all over Japan logged into the Sword Art Online official server almost at the same time.
According to the operating company Argus, they have set a quota for the first batch of players to access the game. Only 10,000 people can qualify for the earliest experience, and more qualifications will be opened later.
This bizarre operation has never been done before.
Not to mention the closed test, the official operation is actually open with a limited limit.
That is to say, the gimmick of the first fully immersive virtual game is here. If an ordinary mm online game dares to play like this, coolness will be its only ending.
Tamamozen entrusted Aletheia to hack a spare blank account from the operating company. This account did not fill in the relevant information of the player.
After entering the game, the first step is the customary pinching phase.
Tamamo-mae roughly selected it based on her appearance. Except for the lack of fox ears, it looked roughly the same as herself.
Players who have just entered SAO are immediately shocked by the realism of the immersive virtual online game. They are temporarily addicted to it and do not immediately discover the problems in the game.
A fatal problem deliberately designed by the producers.
A few hours later, someone finally discovered inadvertently that there was no logout option for this game.
Ten thousand players were trapped in the game world of SAO and could not escape. Developer Akihiko Kayaba appeared in a strange image at this moment and explained the reality they faced to all the players who were teleported back to the original town square.
Tamamo Mae was happily teaming up with other players to grab monsters in the wild, but she was a little unhappy when she was suddenly teleported back to the city.
"Can't log out?"
Tamamo-mae curled her lips, flipped to the logout button from the backup account options, and successfully escaped from the shackles of the game.
Since Tamamo-mae was not using the officially equipped NervGea, there was no danger of Kayaba Akihiko threatening to burn out his brain.
...Besides, there is still a question whether a mere electromagnetic wave can harm Tamamo Mae.
"Never mind it, let's go enjoy the food first."
"Aletheia, help me locate the highest-rated restaurant nearby."
"Command received, start positioning."
…
Sword Art Online has become a death game, which has had a big impact on Japanese society.
Ten thousand players were trapped in the game and unable to leave, and those who had their helmets forcibly removed by their family members had their brains burned by electromagnetic waves.
The government hurriedly issued an emergency notice to prohibit the players' relatives and friends from forcibly removing NervGea to avoid causing greater casualties.
A large number of players were rushed to the hospital, and they were given the nutrients needed to maintain their bodies through drips, and they lay quietly on the hospital bed like vegetative people.
This kind of incident seems serious to the locals in this world, but for Lu Xiao, who has experienced countless hardships, this world is really just for vacation and cultivation.
There are no supernatural events, and there are no higher-dimensional beings such as immortals and gods. The world of Sword Art Online is just an ordinary modern urban world.
At most, the technology tree is a bit crooked. With the efforts of the genius Kayaba Akihiko, an immersive virtual device was developed.
This kind of equipment can not only be used for games, but its biggest role is to train the army.
In the virtual world, the scenes and props of the real world can be completely reproduced, including the specifications of weapons such as guns, tanks, and aircraft, the locations where missions are performed, and the pain of death, etc.
However, this technology is now only in the hands of Kayaba Akihiko. The entire system has been locked by Kayaba Akihiko, and the Japanese government has nothing to do with him.
Lu Xiao, who was far away in Yinyu Mountain, spent several days in seclusion, but achieved nothing except consolidating his realm.
"Weird..."
Lu Xiao rubbed his temples with a headache: "Is it because the rules of the world are wrong?"
"It shouldn't be. This world is the most typical modern society, and no one should deliberately set restrictions."
"No inspiration? Or maybe you don't have enough understanding of the rules of time and space?"
