Reincarnation of the whole People: choose the Black light virus at the Beginning - Chapter 275
Chapter 275
Starting square.
When he first came to this world, Zheng was too anxious to test the combat power under the constraints of the rules, so he did not carefully observe the surrounding environment.
Now that he has been forcibly recalled to the square where the player was born, he has time to look around.
As the birthplace of the first floor [Origin Street], the scale of the starting square can be called huge, paved with neat stone floors and green belts, forming a flat event space.
In the middle of the circular square, stands a straight clock tower, the only building in this empty square that can stand out.
Panicked players are unknowingly forced to teleport from other areas back to the game’s starting point.
And because of some special restrictions, after the end of teleportation, everyone cannot move their bodies, which should be to prevent the restraints imposed by the player from moving and escaping.
Thanks to this, Mrs. Zheng could only be “forced” to hold Youra’s slender and soft palm, unable to let go.
“There are at least thousands of people gathered here… Even tens of thousands. ”
The Wave Knight moved his gaze and tried to divert the topic, but despite this, Mrs. Zheng could observe a faint blush on the girl’s snow-like face.
But soon, this shyness was covered by a sudden shadow, and the sky seemed to turn from sunny to overcast, and quickly from bright to dark, as if painted with blood.
“The bell… Clang…… bells…”
The bell tower in the center of the square suddenly strikes itself without being touched, emitting a dull and thick bell.
Every time a bell strikes, an extra red warning board with “WARNING” appears in the sky, and then it begins to spread rapidly.
In the end, blood-red warning prompts filled the sky under the astonished gazes of nearly 10,000 players.
“What the hell is going on here?!”
“What is the opening event? It looks a little scary…”
“My logout option is suddenly gone! Do you guys have this situation?! ”
“Really… What is this bug, programmers come out and apologize! ”
The surrounding discussion quickly became a flammable and anxious color.
After players discovered that the logout option had completely disappeared from the system menu, unease quickly spread.
“What a joke! Think such an event is fun?! ”
“What about the developers?! Hurry up and fix bugs! ”
“Abominable… I just want to come up and take a look, there will be important things later…”
So far, most players are still in the position of attributing what happened at this time to the “server opening activity” factor.
Despite the noise, there was no mass panic.
Until from the sky covered with red warning prompts, a sticky rain of blood began to drip and condense into a huge faceless figure wearing a crimson cloak in the air.
A deep voice with synthetic sound effects emanated from the Faceless Man and overwhelmed the whispers of tens of thousands of players.
“Everyone, welcome to… My Games. ”
But then, the player, who was shocked by the Faceless Man, began a new round of discussion.
“Is this a GM? Why is there no face? ”
“Hey! Can you hear me?! ”
“When will the bug of the logout key be fixed, I still have something!”
As if he hadn’t heard the player’s voice at all, the Faceless Man opened his arms and continued to tell certain facts in a loud and clear voice, like a declaration.
[I am the founder of this world, and the only person who can control the Sword Art Domain, my name should be familiar to you…”
【I am Akihiko Kayaba】
Crystal Hiko Kayaba.
After hearing this name, all players stopped arguing about the topic and looked at the Faceless Man whose figure was almost equal to the sky in shock or silence.
Famous as a quantum physicist and talented game designer, Kayaba is also the developer of the virtual world of Sword Art Online.
This man who can be said to be a legend in the game industry is the idol of many veteran gamers present.
There was silence in the starting square, as if waiting for Kayaba Jinghiko, or the faceless man who called himself Kayaba Jinghiko, to continue speaking.
[Players must have noticed that the logout option in the main menu has disappeared]
[However, this is not a problem with the game]
[Again, this is not a bug, but the original gameplay mechanism of Sword Art Online]
I think you should take a look at mtlfanfic.com
In front of all the players, the Faceless Man stretched out his robe-shrouded arm, clicked a few times in the air, and summoned the menu interface.
Even the main menu screen of Akihiko Kayaba, who is a GM, does not have the option to log out!
“The original gameplay mechanic?”
One player blankly repeated Kayaba’s words.
There is no logout option, what is the gameplay?
[You can’t log out, and people outside can’t stop or unconnect the device]
[If you try to do this, the signal unit of the device will emit high-power microwaves and destroy your brains]
[In other words, if you try to forcibly disarm the device, then you will be brain dead and lose your life due to the failure of the device]
As soon as these words came out, the players gathered in the square instantly fried the pan.
“What’s going on?!”
“Let’s make a show to stir up the atmosphere, open a service event or something, I understand.”
“It’s just a gimmick, how can there really be a risk of death!”
“Hurry up and finish, I’m still waiting to fight monsters.”
“Boring, is it good to change the planning of the next event.”
The faceless figure shrouded in black and red robes continued, his voice indifferent.
[Unfortunately, so far, there have been many cases of players ignoring warnings and trying to disarm the device]
[Just now, there have been 213 players who have left forever from Irongrunt and the real world]
This calm tone, which seemed to be unmoved by the outside world, finally made the players who did not think it was gradually nervous.
“213 people … I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it! ”
But immediately after, the Faceless Man brought up the pop-up interface of a large number of news reports, zoomed in, and displayed them all in front of all players.
Judging by the date, it is exactly what happened today.
[As you can see, this situation is being repeatedly reported by various media]
[I believe that after receiving the reminder from the media, the chance of accidental death due to the forced removal of the equipment will also be greatly reduced]
[I hope you can feel at ease to guide the game and clear Irongrunt as soon as possible]
Looking at the graphic and video reports about “Sword Art Online = Death Game”, all players finally realized that the outside world at this time may have been boiling over because of their experience.
[However, I need to inform you in advance here]
[In the future, all in-game resurrection methods will be invalid]
[The moment your health drops to zero, your character will disappear forever]
[At the same time, your brains will also be forcibly destroyed by connected devices]
“What a joke… If you are killed by a monster, you will really die… This kind of thing…”
Many players sat weakly on the ground, although this kind of thing sounds like a fantasy, but the person who said this… It’s Hidehiko Kayaba.
[There is only one way to solve this crisis, and that is to clear the game]
With a few strokes of the Faceless Man, a diorama of the entire “Irongrunt” hanging city was constructed in the sky.
[Now you are located on the lowest level, the first floor of Irongrate]
[Raid the maze area of each layer, defeat the boss of the defensive layer to enter the next layer]
[Defeat the final boss on the 100th floor to clear the level]
[Well, at the end… I have a small gift for everyone involved in this game.]
As the Faceless Man’s voice fell, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted on the starting square.
Even Mrs. Zheng, his gaze was occupied by white light, and a prompt emerged.
[You received the “Real Gift” and can now see the real appearance of all players]
When the white light dispersed, the players’ exclamations and panicked voices suddenly became noisy.
Mrs. Zheng scanned the surroundings, his gaze on several figures that were no different from humans in appearance, but differed in details.
“Interesting… It turned out that the alien race matched this time was this race. ”
