After leaving SAO Game, Wu Ke found Yuuki Shozo.
"I want to ask you a favor."
He said straight to the point.
"What's the deal?"
Yuuki Shozo, who had just returned home from handling company matters, was a little tired, but he did not dare to neglect and asked quickly.
"I want to know more personal information about the game developer Kayaba Akihiko, as well as information about the NG helmet, and the source code of the SAO game."
You can't put all your eggs in one basket. Although it's a bit inappropriate to be professional, at least I have studied computer knowledge in my own world.
"I plan to try to analyze the NG helmet and SAO games myself."
Wu Ke stated his purpose.
"this……"
Yuuki Akira showed a troubled expression on his face.
"Is there a problem?"
The man nodded.
"Don't you have some ideas about the company behind the SAO game, and are you already trying to acquire that company by taking advantage of the negative public opinion caused by the players being trapped incident?"
This is what Wu Ke learned from Asuna after he saved her. This is why his son was able to transfer a lot of personal information about SAO games and Kayaba Akihiko in just two days. The reason for sending it.
"Yes, but we did not obtain this information. Kayaba Akihiko, the NG helmet and SAO game developer, destroyed all R&D data except the SAO game server before committing suicide in reality. …”
Yuuki Shozo explained that it is precisely because there is no research and development information on the NG helmet and no source code for the SAO game that outsiders are helpless about the current predicament of players trapped in the game world.
"Government researchers were already working on the reverse engineering of the NG helmet on the first day after the SAO game accident, but there is still no result...
As for the source code of the SAO game, only the game developer himself knows the specifics. The person in our company who was originally responsible for analyzing the game source code was the guy who wanted to molest my daughter, and he has now been arrested and imprisoned. in……"
Yuuki Shozo was a little helpless.
Most of his busy days are due to the company's research department.
He is poaching people with high salaries, poaching those who have in-depth research on spiritual virtual networks.
However, this is not ideal.
The spiritual virtual network is something that has just appeared in civil society.
Basically, except for Kayaba Akihiko who was the first to run out and create a completely stealth game, and a huge accident occurred, the other personnel related to this aspect are almost invisible.
Sugou Nobuyuki could barely count as one, but the other person was probably a member of the same research team as Kayaba Akihiko during his college days.
Kayaba Akihiko, the developer of NG helmets and SAO games, has been developing and researching mental linkage devices since he was in college.
All the research data were in the hands of the other party, and all were destroyed by the other party before he committed suicide in reality.
"So, if I want to do reverse engineering, I have to start from scratch and research this aspect of the NG field?"
"No, apart from Kayaba Akihiko, there are other researchers in the world for mental linkage devices.
At Kyoto University, there is Professor Shigemura, whom our company is currently in contact with. He is also an accomplished scholar in the field of NG. "
Yuuki Shozo said.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can help me collect information about Kayaba Akihiko's life, and also help me make an appointment with Professor Shigemura from Kyoto University."
Wu Ke said.
Yuki Shozo nodded and agreed.
. . . .
At night, Wu Ke, a person who never sleeps, entered the SAO game again.
Although the night sky on the first level of Aincrad is a fictional scenery, it is no worse than the real starry sky.
"If this game doesn't kill people, it should be a place for ordinary people to relax, right?!"
Wu Ke muttered to himself and prepared for late-night leveling.
He clicked on the friend bar, but his hand paused on the friend's name in Mitte's ID.
"I almost forgot, ordinary people need to sleep and rest."
Wu Ke put down his hand, thought for a while, and went to the street where Usuzawa Fukasumi took him.
It's late at night, but there are more players here wearing gray robes and hoods.
When Wu Ke controlled the unhidden game character and came here again, he received many players' glances.
"Is there anyone who forms a team to level up late at night? I'm pretty good at it. Anyone who knows a good leveling place and wants to level up can come here!"
Wu Ke, who checked the reveal level option and wore the level mark of Lv18, shouted to everyone on this long street.
"Ahem, level 18?"
"Hell, I'm only level 16, how did this guy practice?"
…
After seeing the level display, many players in gray robes began to cough. This place was originally a gathering place for closed beta players. The average level was around 15 to 16, and they were basically first-tier players. Now Leng Buding was a little surprised to see a guy who was two levels above the average level.
"Isn't there anyone who wants to form a team? Then you can provide the coordinate information of a leveling place higher than mine. I can pay for it."
Although it was okay to fight the rogue monkeys during the day, Wu Ke still wanted to level up more efficiently, and challenging monsters higher than his own level had an experience bonus in the SAO game.
"You're leveling at night and you have to fight wild monsters that are higher than your own level. Little sister, you are very brave!"
A female voice suddenly sounded from behind.
This is the bad thing about the game.
His perception is severely limited by the game system and game characters.
"Who are you?"
Wu Ke turned around and looked over. It was a woman wearing a black robe and a hood, who had wrapped herself very tightly.
"I am the information dealer of this game. You can call me Mouse or Argo."
The other party replied.
"I need information about the leveling place, do you have it?"
Wu Ke asked.
"I have."
Argo nodded.
"How much?"
"Thirty percent, I want 30% of the value of the loot you get from killing monsters."
the woman said.
"OK."
Wu Ke agreed directly.
"But the premise is that you really have the ability to spawn monsters at night."
"Um?"
Wu Ke looked over with some confusion and saw the other person reaching out and patting the shoulder of the other person next to him.
"Do me a favor and test this man's strength for me."
"Eh?"
Kiritani Kazuto was a little shocked and said quickly: "I'm just here to buy information."
"If you do this favor, the information just now will be given to you for free."
Argo said seriously.
"All right."
Kiritani Kazuto agreed somewhat reluctantly.
"You can't let go."
"Of course I won't give in. I feel like you just want me to persuade others..."
Kiritani Kazuto complained.
"If a player with some strength dies because of his arrogance, it will not be conducive to the survival of an information dealer like me. I am preparing for the future survival situation."
After Argo finished speaking, he looked towards Wu Ke: "Not every player has the ability to fight monsters at night. Judging from your appearance, you should not be a closed beta player, but an ordinary player with some game talent. Although I don’t know how you level up, if you want to get some intelligence information from me, then defeat him to prove your strength.”
Wu Ke: "..."
He feels that players trapped in this game world are quite subtle. For example, the way they speak is different from people in reality.
To be more precise, people in real life would never say something like [If you want to get some information from me, defeat him to prove your strength...].
However, since this is a virtual game world, just do as the Romans do.
"OK."
Wu Ke looked across.
At this time, Kiritani Kazuto on the opposite side also revealed his true level, with the bright L20 hanging above his head, causing a group of closed beta players to exclaim.
"Fuck, another leveling maniac who doesn't behave like a human being?"
"Although you are a woman, I won't hold back, come on!"
Well, the way the guy opposite spoke was not normal either.
Fortunately, Wu Ke had adapted and directly invited the duel.
Seeing the excitement, the closed beta players on the long street also gathered around.
"Aren't you going to draw your sword?"
After the temporary duel venue was marked out by the system, Kiritani Kazuto looked at the girl opposite who didn't take out a weapon and couldn't help but frown and asked.
"I'm more used to fighting with bare hands."
Wu Ke replied that he was serious.
"..."
However, Kiritani Kazuto didn't think so.
Hearing only a clang, he put the long sword back into its scabbard.
Although when he inserted the sword into his back, he inserted it twice before inserting it back.
"In that case, I'll do it with my bare hands."
"Hey, you are testing your combat prowess, not playing a fighting match!"
“If we don’t use weapons, then what’s the suspense about the outcome?
The one with the higher level will definitely win, after all, the basic attributes are there. "
"Have you forgotten your fighting skills?"
"Ha, do you want to say that women are better at playing games and have better fighting skills than men?"
The questioned player burst out laughing.
"bring it on."
Kiritani Kazuto, who was a little afraid of society, was not used to being surrounded by a bunch of people, but he urged him.
"I advise you to get weapons."
Wu Ke advised.
"Need not."
Seeing the opponent's resolute attitude, Wu Ke shrugged and controlled the game character to move forward.
Two minutes later, without any surprise, Kiritani Kazuto, who was on the duel side, enjoyed the feeling of being defeated by a punch.
The player who was still laughing just now has lost his voice, and the others are almost the same, staring at the game character who looks like Asuna with wide eyes.
"Let's have another one with weapons."
Wu Ke suggested.
Kiritani Kazuto pursed his lips, a look of shame appeared on his face, and nodded silently.
Then, another two minutes passed, and Wu Ke reluctantly used the rapier that he was not used to. Wu Ke defeated the boy with a gesture that almost filled the health bar again.
Kiritani Kazuto made a gesture of admitting defeat and half-knelt on one knee. He had already fallen into a state of doubting himself and doubting life.
He tried his best, but in the end he managed to scrape the opponent's arm with his sword edge, causing the opponent to lose a little health.
It was as if the opponent had activated a script plug-in. It seemed that he had predicted all his combat moves just now. If he hadn't changed his moves at the end, he might have been defeated by the opponent with full health again.
"Have I passed the strength certification?"
Wu Ke asked.
"She is very strong, much stronger than me. If you kill monsters alone at night, as long as they are not too much higher than your own level, there is basically no problem."
Kiritani Kazuto, who was a little shocked, finally stood up and spoke seriously to Argo.
"All right."
Argo was a little surprised by the ending, but nodded in approval.
"You team up with him to level up, he happens to be going to level up too."
Argo pointed at Kiritani Kazuto and said to Wu Ke.
"Hey, I never heard that such a thing would happen!?"
Kiritani Kazuto spoke immediately, he did not want to form a team with other players.
"It doesn't matter, you are going to level up anyway.
With a strong and reliable teammate together, both of you will improve your leveling efficiency.
And don’t you lack the money to build equipment? When the time comes, I will give you half of the 30% of the harvest I deserve, as a reward for you to supervise her harvest of monsters for me. "
Argo's words were well founded, and Kiritani Kazuto could not refute them.
Free information is really not that easy to get.
"what is your opinion?"
Argo looked at Wu Ke and asked.
"I have no opinion."
Argo looked at Kirito again.
"Fine."
He was afraid that he would hold others back by teaming up with someone stronger than him. Kiritani Kazuto only felt a lot of pressure, but he still agreed.
"That's good."
Argo was very satisfied. To be honest, this young boy with strong gaming skills but a bit of a lone wolf style worried her.
"You are the information dealer in this game. Can I ask if you have the means to quickly disseminate information?"
He formed a team with the boy, but before going to level up, Wu Ke asked Argo about her information dealer.
"I was the one who made the game manual that is sold to ordinary players at the lowest price in the NPC shop, what do you think?"
"I see, can you add me as a friend? I have some good things to tell you."
Argo was confused and confused. After she listened to Wu Ke's statement about being an outside rescuer, her eyes became a little doubtful. If Wu Ke hadn't proved his strength in the game, he wouldn't have been able to. You have to be regarded as a somewhat crazy player.
"If you don't believe me, just look at my ID and see if it goes dark again."
In the SAO game, because players cannot log out, their IDs are always lit in other people's friend boxes.
And if it goes dark, it can only prove one thing, that is, the player is dead.
And if the ID that goes dark can light up again, it proves one thing: the person is alive again.
Of course, in Wu Ke's case, it is strong evidence of what he said.
"If your ID can really go dark and light up again, then I will help you spread rescue information and join your rescue team..."
Argo said confidently.
