Looking at the long metal box he had taken apart, Yang Weiwu was a little dazed.

I weighed it and it feels closer to plastic than metal, but the texture is definitely metal.

Try opening it along the seam.

can not open.

I shook it and it seemed to be full and there was no sound.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there is something like sponge inside to prevent bumps.

Yang Weiwu was a little confused about whether he should use something to pry the thing open, because because of the crack, the thing looked half-open, which made him feel a little obsessive-compulsive.

But in the end he chose to put this thing aside and leave it for later.

Breakfast was noodles with vegetables, fried beef and poached eggs. The beef was left over from last night, so Aurora didn't spend too much time on it. Compared to thinking about making everything fresh when she first started cooking, this mentality was closer to the life skills her mother taught her.

"Are you planning on playing with your little friend today?"

While sighing at the growth potential of the vampire girl in his heart, Yang Weiwu asked.

"Nagisa is a student and needs to go to school. I don't have anything to do today, and I'm not scheduled to do anything at Stile's place, so I don't know what to do."

In other words, moldy reservation at home?

"That kid... is he an elementary school student or a junior high school student?"

"Xiaoliu is about to graduate. I heard that she plans to go to Caihai College. She has an older brother who studies there."

"Ai Hai ah——"

Yang Weiwu felt that this name seemed quite familiar, but his memory could only remember it to this extent.

"It's the school where Miss Yue works."

That Yue? Who is that? Someone I don’t know…wait, I seem to have some impression of him.

Because he hadn't seen Nangong Nayue for half a year and hadn't communicated with her, Yang Weiwu almost forgot about her.

The main thing was that she asked the other party for help in solving the issue of Shan Ze's future. Nangong Nayue's answer was roughly that this was a distinguished guest from the Chaos Realm who had gone through professional procedures, and as long as he didn't do anything too excessive, she couldn't help.

At that time, Yang Weiwu said on the surface that Miss Nangong had a difficult life, but in his heart he thought that this woman was useless. After hanging up, he has not contacted her again in the past six months until now.

"Wei Wu..."

"?"

Yang Weiwu looked at Aurora. The girl's mature behavior over the past year made him feel like his good daughter had grown up. But in fact, it was difficult for a vampire to change its appearance, which was basically fixed. So the girl's hesitation and confusion made him hallucinate the girl from a year ago.

"I want to... go to school with Nagisa."

Going to school... Yang Weiwu recalled his high school life -

There are three test papers a day in the first year of high school. In the third year of high school, there are almost double-digit test papers a day. It is of course impossible to do all of them by oneself. The department head, who is a math teacher, said in a dull manner that we should do the math first, especially the big questions, so that we have enough time to understand them.

Please, I can't even guarantee the accuracy of small questions. I have to spend one or two evening self-study classes to do math homework. If I don't do other homework in class, I will be scolded for not taking it seriously at all. They will say that you guys are so strict about this course, I must have scored 90 points in the college entrance examination (elective) or more than 100 points (compulsory).

Hmm? Aurora looks like she's in junior high school now?

Yang Weiwu thought about his junior high school——

In the first year of junior high school, I was in a bad mood for two semesters.

The first semester of the second year of junior high school, Yang Pojun, Yang Pojun (Yang Weiwu’s old name), you can’t do this anymore. You must concentrate and study hard.

In the second semester of the second year of junior high school, I was in a bad mood.

In the third year of junior high school, we study hard for two semesters.

It seems... not bad? It seems that you can go straight to Japan. At least Caihai has junior high school and high school. Aurora doesn't have to be as miserable as herself. As long as she doesn't plan to go to college, she won't be too tired because of studying.

Wait, this girl was planning on going to the same school as that kid named Nagisa, i.e. elementary school?

"You look a little mature if you go to school with elementary school students. And you will be rejected without a demon landing permit."

Yang Weiwu actually thought about letting Aurora go to school to gain knowledge, but on the one hand, it would be somewhat unsettling to let a person who lacks common sense go to school alone without the company of someone he trusts. On the other hand, Aurora's Japanese level was just so-so at that time, and he probably would have to get a camera to record the class and replay it in slow motion when he got home to study.

Thirdly, when he mentioned this matter to Nangong Nayue, the other party said that if he could get a demon landing permit for Aurora, she would help take care of Aurora.

Then I asked the staff of the artificial management commune and they said that Aurora could go through the procedures with the guarantee of an adult who has lived on Genshin Island for three years with no bad record or has a formal work experience on Genshin Island for more than two years.

Nangong Nayue refused to help, Qiuyue and Xingchuan had no formal jobs (his job in the coffee shop was considered a part-time job), and Dino himself did not have a demon landing permit and could not serve as a guarantor.

In other words, Yang Weiwu basically had no other choice but to take up a job at a research institute with Qiuyue's recommendation while still being able to ensure his living.

Otherwise, according to his current state of having no worries about food and clothing, unless he suffers a serious financial hit, there is no possibility of becoming a social animal.

"If you want, I can get you a demon landing permit in about a year and a half, and then you can go to... the second year of junior high school with Nagisa. Is that acceptable?"

"Ok!"

Aurora still looked very happy.

After all, going to school with friends is more important to her than going to school. In fact, based on her inner thoughts, she also hopes to go to school with Yang Weiwu. It's a pity that Yang Weiwu's age and inherent cognition will not make him lose face and go to high school again. Ye Tian's personality may not care.

"Well, I'm going to go out to work now. You can go around and look around. I probably won't be back for lunch today."

"understood."

……

The company where Yang Weiwu works now is called Zhuhuo Company. It is said that the boss is a wealthy woman who is about 1.5 meters tall. She has opened several research institutes specializing in the development of virtual games.

Although virtual games sound very attractive, Yang Weiwu is not interested in them. He just thinks that the work system of working from 9 to 5, five days a week, double pay for overtime work on weekends, quadruple pay for overtime work on weekends, and two days off a week, as well as an annual salary of six million are attractive.

Let me say it again, Yang Weiwu has no interest in virtual games at all, everything is done to please his boss.

"Yang, go test this sprint system again and check if there are any bugs in the snowy mountain terrain."

"Okay! Kayaba, I think there's a possibility that the other terrains may trigger bugs. Why don't we test them a few more times?"

"…If you want me to stay up late to fix the code, just tell me directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Kayaba, the person in charge of project codenamed A, looked at Yang Weiwu who was excited and touched his hairline which had shown signs of rising recently.

"I just want the game to be released quickly. Just think about it, the world's first full-dive virtual game, a super floating city with 100 floors for men, sounds super interesting... I mean it will definitely make a lot of money."

"We've only built 12 floors, and the basic system isn't perfect yet. If we just put it online, we'll be criticized. What's the point of using magic technology to make a gaming helmet? A gaming cabin would be better if it could be fully stealthed, right?! If that's the case, the cost will go up again, and the production capacity won't be as high as a gaming cabin."

Kayaba looked like he had a stomachache.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a helmet so you can play whenever you want?"

"Not good at all!"

Kayaba disavowed the device.

"This thing is extremely dependent on network speed. If there is any problem with the base station, the gaming experience will be directly killed. There is a lack of external sensing system. Complete stealth means that the body must be in a place that you think is safe enough when playing the game. Pursuing anytime and anywhere is simply a foolish goal. In addition, various detection devices will produce a huge power consumption rate. It is very difficult to maintain a gaming time of more than ten minutes without plugging in the cable. Increasing the battery capacity will make the appearance of the helmet look very bad..."

Kayaba was muttering about his boss's idiotic and unreasonable demands and the cruel reality of the gap in technical ability, a dark aura emanating from his body.

Yang Weiwu stood aside and watched him, listening to the complaints of this man who was nominally his superior but in fact was half his friend1.

To be honest, the other person looked a bit like a character in an anime he had watched.

The anime character is probably about a super genius who developed a completely stealth virtual game, and then trapped a thousand or ten thousand players in the game, telling them that they would never be able to get out unless they completed the game. Then he himself, the player, was discovered and killed when he was still many levels away from completing the game.

Yang Weiwu had a very poor memory and didn't remember the name of the anime character, but he still remembered his neat short hair, clothes, glasses, and his enthusiasm for the virtual world.

And Kayaba fits the bill perfectly.

Although this man always complains about this and that, his boss is like an old 2D character who makes nonsense demands all day long without caring about the consequences of combining theoretical technical skills with actual conditions.

But this also reflects his love for the virtual world.

This man is different from Yang Weiwu. Yang Weiwu is willing to work overtime because he has 40% reason for overtime pay and 10% reason because his salary does not match the working hours at all. This man, on the other hand, is 100% for the game represented by this project - or the ideal virtual world.

"Isn't the sword skills system basically complete? There won't be any problem if there is enough data in this area, right?"

“The focus is on the conflict between force feedback and stiffness settings.”

Kayaba called up the footage of Yang Weiwu's test.

"Look, you just used a sword skill in this place, and because of the system settings, you became frozen. However, since you can't move according to the settings, you are immune to the interruption effect caused by the enemy's attack. In other words, it's a free alternative overlord. Of course, the damage still needs to be calculated, but this loss is completely worth it compared to replacing the opponent's control skill."

"I can even imagine what outrageous operations those mobs will perform by taking advantage of this bug. They will sell one to exchange for the boss's ultimate move, and then focus the rest of their fire on the boss. The combat mechanism of the fifth-floor boss will be completely shattered by this bug!"

"Kayaba, you look so ferocious right now."

"If having a blank expression can solve these problems immediately, I am willing to have facial paralysis for the rest of my life."

"But there will still be new bugs in the future."

"..."

Kayaba seemed much calmer. He took off his glasses, took out a glasses cloth from his pocket, wiped them, and put them back on. The lenses reflected a strange light.

"Yang, let's test the sensory system. There is a swamp area on the 11th floor. I hope you can fully test the realism of that area, from smell to touch!"

Later on, the voice gradually became more and more harsh, but what really made Yang Weiwu feel disappointed was the other party's inhumane request.

"Wait, I was wrong! Kayaba, you're not such a petty person who would seek revenge after being sabotaged, right?!"

"Go to hell, you damn tester who doesn't know the pain of fixing code!" Kayaba turned on the microphone.

"Attention all units. We are going to test the complete experience of the swamp area. Fix 99% of the sensory system for me and add some strong flavor to the swamp! Let our only tester enjoy it!"

"learn!"

Even through the microphone, Yang Weiwu could hear the gloating and joy in the loud voice.

"Don't do that kind of thing!"

Yang Weiwu was dragged into the experience chamber by Kayaba while wailing.

……

An hour later, Yang Weiwu and Kayaba, with lifeless eyes, sat in the rest area drinking coffee.

"Well, there is basically no problem with the sensory system. Just check it occasionally. The treasure chests in the swamp area are not yet perfect. There is a lack of suitable models. Traditional treasure chests may not be very suitable. Do you have any suggestions, Yang?"

Yang Weiwu, who had regained his consciousness, glanced at Kayaba with resentment, and then made an inappropriate suggestion -

"Make a small metal box that looks like it's not big. It's best to make a crack so it looks like it can be opened directly, but in fact, it can't be opened by normal means!"

【065】Tianbu Spear ()

"But the purpose of treasure chests is to be opened by players, right?"

Kayaba rested his chin on the palm of his right hand and tapped the tip of his nose with his fingers.

"Yes, it can only be opened by violent attack at a specific location or with specific props. Don't you think this is unique?"

"It sounds very similar to a sealed magic tool that exists in reality."

"Sealing the magic equipment?"

"It is a magical tool used to store precious items. It is mainly used to prevent items from being taken out and used at will or even seen by others."

Kayaba explained.

"This kind of magic tool requires a specific spell to be safely opened. If you use brute force to open it, it will usually trigger an explosion. It's not certain whether the person will be hurt, but in many cases the things inside will be destroyed. And that brute force is not something that ordinary people can easily achieve. Basically, only the strongest orcs can barely reach the standard of opening force after they have transformed into beasts."

"Why do I feel that this kind of magic tool won't contain anything too important? After all, if it's something precious, it will be broken. If the enemy deliberately comes for it, isn't it like throwing their own property into a pile of explosives?"

Yang Weiwu complained.

"That was the initial version. Now, there will be an anti-magic formula inside. No matter if violent opening of the box triggers an explosion or a curse, the anti-magic formula can minimize the impact on the contents. Unless you say that what you put inside is your browser history, otherwise the existence of the anti-magic formula is still very necessary."

"…Let me just say that my browser history is normal."

"Then give me a good rest!"

"Brother Mao, no... ahem, I mean come on, I'll show you an anime. I think there's a person in it that looks a lot like you."

Kayaba Akihiko glanced at his watch and then said, "There are still 27 minutes left in the break. Just show me some of the key points. If they are interesting, I will make up for them during the break."

"You can't buy resources, at least you have no way to get them."

"Something like precious welfare? I don't really know anyone who would go for that kind of thing."

Kayaba pushed up his glasses.

"So am I similar to that character in any way?"

"You both dress like this, and you both wear glasses. You both have similar hairstyles, your looks are at the same level, and your voices are basically the same. And you both have the last name Kayaba."
