Of course, as long as Momo doesn't do anything reckless, theoretically he can live forever, no matter how many years he lives. In addition, with the Hall of Heroes' adjustment to time synchronization, if Momo ignores those worlds affected by certain forces, he can simply find a world to stay in and wait for the upgrade of his trading power.
However, Momo clearly wouldn't do that. The core of the trading power is trading, not additional skills. Even without additional skills, for Momo, it would only reduce the convenience of using the trading power, but it wouldn't fundamentally affect Momo's actions.
Therefore, at most, Momo only uses up the number of times he has trading power each day, but he will not stagnate in order to upgrade his trading power.
Right now, because of Reimu's problem, Momo is even less likely to waste time upgrading his trading abilities.
"In that case, Yui, it's time for us to go out."
"Okay, Dad, close your eyes, I'll send your consciousness back into your body right away!"
After saying that, Mo Mo closed his eyes. A strange feeling of weightlessness enveloped his body, and then his body sank, as if a heavy burden had been placed on his soul.
However, this heaviness disappeared quickly. Within seconds, familiar bodily sensations returned to the brain: breathing, blood flow, and nerve sensations in various parts of the body.
"Mo Mojun, Mo Mojun, are you awake?!"
A familiar voice echoed in his ears. Mo Mo's eyelids twitched, and then he heard a gentle baritone voice say, "Mr. Yagyu, Mr. Mo Mo needs quiet, so those who are not involved can leave. Sachiko, draw the curtains. Although Mr. Mo Mo is not in complete darkness, he is still not used to the light."
Mo Mo heard a group of footsteps. After the footsteps subsided, she slowly opened her eyes. In front of her was a dimly lit room. Not far away were two figures, and further away, a group of doctors dressed in white coats were walking out of the room.
"Mo Mo-kun, are you alright? I am Yagyu Masayoshi."
Mo Mo ignored Yagyu Masayoshi and instead contacted Yui in his mind, saying, "Yui, can my body be restored? I'm so weak right now, I don't look like the strongest human at all!"
"I'm sorry, Dad."
Yui's voice was somewhat low as she said, "Dad needs to collect various resources before the Hall of Heroes can begin to take effect. To strengthen Dad's physique, Dad needs to collect at least the most basic elements that make up the human body before Yui can mobilize the Hall of Heroes to change Dad's physique."
"Moreover, this is not a process that can be completed overnight. Of course, Dad can use up a number of his transaction powers to complete the process directly. But right now, Yui can't do anything."
Mo Mo understood, but what was somewhat amusing was that the number of times one could use trading power had become a scarce commodity, and if one used the number of times one could use trading power in these places, the experience points for trading power would not increase.
It seems this is also a test from God, to help Momo better weigh all these forces.
"It's okay, Yui, I can handle it myself."
Momo's current condition is due to the atrophy of his muscles from lying down for so long, which has prevented him from moving freely. Although it's clear that Yagyu Masayoshi has used the best possible care, he can only slow down the process as much as possible.
"Yagyu Masayoshi, I am very sorry."
Yagyu Masayoshi was taken aback, then said, "I would like to hear the details."
"I really wish that it was my beloved Asuna who was waiting for me here, instead of you, a middle-aged man."
"Hahaha!"
Yagyu Masayoshi laughed heartily and said, "Miss Asuna is still waiting for the prince's kiss. But Momo-kun, how are you feeling right now?"
Mo Mo didn't answer, but instead looked at the young man next to Yagyu Masayoshi who looked very much like him, and said, "And this is...?"
"This is my son. He saw how much I respect Mr. Momo and wanted to meet him no matter what."
Yagyu Masayoshi's tone was somewhat somber, causing Mo Mo to raise an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that the relationship between Yagyu Masayoshi and his son hadn't improved at all!
There was nothing he could do. This son was already getting impatient waiting for his richest father to die, and now he was shocked to find that his father was getting younger and younger, even younger than himself. Naturally, he would have endless questions.
It seems that he finally set his sights on Mo Mo, the young man who suddenly appeared beside his father.
Mo Mo wasn't worried about Yagyu Masayoshi leaking the secret, since the restrictions imposed by his trading authority made it impossible for him to do so. Seeing the young man's eager expression, Mo Mo glanced at Yagyu Masayoshi and noticed the coldness in his eyes.
Mo Mo understood; he had grasped Yagyu Masayoshi's intentions.
In the past, Yagyu Masayoshi might have let his unfilial son go unchecked, but now, at the age of thirty-something, he must have developed other thoughts about his son.
"Since that's the case, son, I have a deal. Will you agree?"
Yagyu Masayoshi's son was dumbfounded. What kind of nonsense is this "son-kun"? Is this kid really not taking advantage of him?
However, seeing the respect in Yagyu Masayoshi's eyes, the son-kun cautiously replied, "Please speak."
“I can tell you the secret between me and your father, but in return, sell me your current muscle strength and lie in bed for a while.”
The son's mouth dropped open, for he too had felt the power of the transaction. Looking at his father, who was smiling in a half-smile, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I agree!"
"Dad, the deal is done!"
Yui took over Reimu's job of announcing the subtitles, and as a result, Momo suddenly felt her body brimming with power, even stronger than before she entered the game. Momo glanced at her son, somewhat surprised, not expecting that this son, hidden beneath his suit, possessed such a well-built physique.
The son, Jun, lost all his strength in an instant, his body immediately weakened and he collapsed to the ground, his breathing becoming rapid.
Mo Mo stood up, supporting himself on the edge of the bed. He did a few exercises, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Yagyu Seigi, you heard about the deal between me and my son. Now, you can answer my son's questions. You should know that my deals are always fair, equal, and voluntary."
"Hey! Leave everything to me, I promise it won't cause you any trouble!"
The son's eyes widened, as if he had thought of something terrifying, but he was too weak to even speak.
135 30-minute Boss Life
Mo Mo didn't care about Yagyu Masayoshi's personal affairs. He and Yagyu Masayoshi had no personal relationship whatsoever; their relationship was purely one of mutual benefit.
Yagyu Masayoshi was a powerful native with influence and power. Only Momo could give him what he desired. All Momo did was provide Yagyu Masayoshi with what he wanted and then have Yagyu Masayoshi serve him.
Upon leaving the room, she found servants waiting outside. Seeing Mo Mo moving with ease, a look of surprise crossed her face. However, her good manners led her to lower her head slightly, skillfully concealing any inappropriate expression.
Is Asuna here?
"Yes, sir, please come with me."
A few steps away is Asuna's room. The two rooms are separated by only one wall. Upon entering the room, the first thing you see is a female doctor with glasses and gray hair, who is frowning as she examines Asuna's condition.
"How is the situation, doctor?"
Upon seeing Mo Mo, the doctor paused, then his expression turned serious. He said, "Mr. Mo Mo, didn't your chief physician tell you that you should be resting right now? I know about your relationship with Miss Asuna, but ensuring your own health is the best care you can give her."
Mo Mo smiled slightly. The serious, even critical, words actually made Mo Mo feel a sense of warmth. This showed that the medical staff invited by Yagyu Masayoshi were the best in terms of both medical skills and character.
"I'm sorry, Doctor. Please forgive the impulsiveness of a boy in a panic. Although I'm still a little weak, I can at least move around easily. Can you tell me about Asuna's condition?"
The female doctor relaxed her brow slightly, and seeing that Mo Mo was indeed alright, she said, "I didn't expect that you, who look so thin, actually have a good physique. You're a good young man."
She beckoned Momo to come forward, then pressed Momo down to sit, saying, "Miss Asuna is fine, her brain and consciousness are normal, but for some reason she hasn't woken up yet. Could it be that the game's exit is in batches? That's the only explanation, after all, you weren't one of the first to come out."
"When you came out, it had been more than ten minutes since a large number of players logged out of the game and the TV started reporting on it urgently. So, don't worry, child, I believe Miss Asuna will wake up soon."
Mo Mo's eyes narrowed, a hint of danger flashing in them, but his smile remained unchanged. He said, "Thank you, doctor. Since Asuna's condition is fine, all that's left is to wait. So, may I stay with Asuna?"
The female doctor glanced at Momo, then at Asuna, and said, "Alright, if Miss Asuna experiences any problems, just have a servant call us. We'll be on duty here today, so let's all go and rest for a while."
After speaking, the female doctor left the room with several nurses. The maid looked at Mo Mo, her eyes asking for his arrangements.
"Go find Yagyu Masayoshi. If his friendly conversation with his son is over, have him come to me. I need his help with something."
The maid bowed slightly, then quietly left, closing the door behind her, leaving only Momo and Asuna, who was still wearing her NERvGear.
Asuna's eyes were closed, as if she were fast asleep. Mo Mo had been looking at that expression for countless hours over the past four months, yet he could never get enough of it, as if he were completely mesmerized.
Momo took Asuna's hand, kissed the back of her hand, and then asked Yui in his mind, "Is it confirmed, Yui? Has Asuna's consciousness been pulled into ALO?"
The Yui of this moment is no longer the same Yui from before. Now, Yui not only shoulders a heavy responsibility, but also, like Momo, knows the entire plot. Theoretically speaking, Yui, like Momo, has also become an existence beyond the two-dimensional world.
"Yes, Dad, I searched online and found that nearly a hundred people are still not awake. And ALO officially started operating not long ago. Although it's doing poorly because of SAO, it should have the basic conditions to bring Asuna's mother into it."
"Is that so?"
Mo Mo smirked and said, "Nobuyuki Sugo, you really dare to do this! Where do you get the guts to continue doing this, and even release me? If you had any brains at all, you should have locked me up too."
"Dad, are you going to enter ALO? I believe that with your strength, you will be able to rescue Asuna's mother soon."
Mo Mo shook his head slightly and said, "No need. Sugou Nobuyuki is not worthy to be my opponent. I have absolutely no intention of playing with him. Yui, are you capable of hacking into ALO and using your privileges to protect Asuna?"
“Yes, Dad! Now that we have information support from the Sword Art Online world, Yui’s hacking skills are the best in the world. Plus, Yui has the highest level of access to Aincrad, so she can break in.”
"Then it's up to you."
"Okay, it's up to Yui now. Dad puts his hands on the NERvGear, and then Yui starts working."
Momo placed his hand on Asuna's NERvGear wound as instructed. A flash of electricity appeared, and the light on the NERvGear, symbolizing data flow, began to flash wildly. Clearly, Yui had begun data intrusion through the NERvGear.
"Mo Mojun, were you looking for me?"
A few minutes later, Yagyu Masayoshi walked over with a beaming smile, as if he had encountered something good, and his steps were lighter.
"Is everything settled? Where's my son?"
"Hey! My unfilial son suddenly became weak all over and couldn't move, and couldn't even speak, but he was still struggling frantically. I've already seen a doctor, who thinks it might be a sudden onset of mental illness and has given my unfilial son a sedative. However, the specific cause still needs further examination."
"Please accept my condolences, Liu Shengsang."
"Ah, thank you for your concern, Mo Mojun. I think even if my child does suddenly fall ill, he will get better 'slowly'."
Mo Mo nodded slightly and said, "Yagyu Masayoshi, I need your help with something. I wonder if you know any people in the underworld."
Yagyu Masayoshi nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, Momo-kun. Although the country has been tightening its control over this area recently, there is still room for survival. I wonder who Momo-kun wants to teach a lesson to? Do you need some ruthless methods?"
"No need to be so serious. How could I be such a cold-hearted person? It's just that Nobuyuki Sugo, the manager in charge of ALO at my company, has been acting too recklessly. I want someone to enter ALO within thirty minutes to seek revenge on him, and then drag him out and break his leg no matter what he's doing."
"In addition, find a spokesperson to enter RECT, take over the ALO project, block all data in the project, remove everyone in the project team from their positions and put them under surveillance. Then report the case to the police, and the reason for the report... is to report that Sugo Nobuyuki is Kayaba Akihiko's accomplice."
Yagyu Masayoshi lowered his head, bowed respectfully, and said, "Yes!"
This time, he didn't say anything, because Mo Mo's flawless and ruthless methods made him feel that he should lower his stance a little more.
In his view, Momo seemed to have become a little more serious than he had been four months before he entered the game.
Seeing that Mo Mo had no further instructions, Yagyu Masayoshi lowered his head and left the room. At that moment, Yui's voice rang out, "Dad, Asuna is indeed locked in a cage. Honestly, that bastard!"
"But don't worry, Dad. I've already transformed this cage into a small villa and locked it with my own access. Right now, Sugo Nobuyuki is furiously hacking at the walls with his sword, but it's no use. Hmph, Yui's access is equal to his!"
Momo smiled slightly and said, "In that case, why don't you stay there and keep Asuna company for a while? Oh, and don't forget to call Asuna 'Mom' so she can get used to it."
"Okay, Yui is talking to Asuna about Reimu's mother right now, Yui will be there now."
"puff--"
"Yui, Yui, don't joke around, Yui!"
Mo Mo almost spat out blood, but to Mo Mo's dismay, Yui stopped replying and seemed to have gone to spend the next thirty minutes with Asuna.
Mo Mo quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and began to carefully consider what Yui had just said.
"This must be a joke, right? This must be a random reaction. My Yui couldn't possibly be this cunning, it's impossible!"
Yui's change saddened Mo Mo. Where had the innocent and pure Yui gone? Had she been corrupted by some shameless scumbag? If Mo Mo found out who this person was, she would never let him get away with it!
However, this determination was useless. The room was quiet, with only Asuna's long, steady breathing as her companion, and Momo's heart calmed down as well.
