Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

But Heathcliff knew that this Tooth King had become a fence-sitter again!

Clearly, Ya Wang didn't know anything yet, but all Ya Wang knew was that if Mo Mo wanted to say something, he would support Mo Mo and say it regardless of the outcome!

This tooth king was truly terrified.

“Heathcliff, the King of Fangs is right. The truth about Momo is something we need to know, and we all have the right to know it.”

Kirito chimed in.

"You clueless, immature kid!" Heathcliff roared inwardly.

Heathcliff's veins bulged as he gripped the sword hilt. He suddenly wondered if choosing Kirito as his successor was a mistake.

Can such naive and kind-hearted teenagers, who are prone to overthinking, truly live a smooth and successful life until adulthood?

"Yes, tell us quickly, we have the right to know!"

"That's right. Since it's the truth, then we have a chance to get out, don't we?"

"Momo, tell me! Tell me now! If you're not the mastermind... if you were forced into this, we can forgive you, really!"

One by one, the players' eyes reddened, and they roared loudly. Mo Mo's words once again stirred up their fear of the game and their longing for the real world.

For more than four months, nearly 130 days, my body has been lying somewhere, and my consciousness has been imprisoned in this death game.

The accumulated pressure can never be eliminated; people simply become accustomed to it on the surface, while subconsciously choosing to forget it.

Now, the intense emotions that had been buried deep in her heart were stirred up again by Mo Mo.

"In that case, everyone, please listen to me."

Heathcliff closed his eyes in anguish; at that moment, he suddenly understood.

Unable to reveal the truth, Momo could only fabricate one.

What kind of truth will he fabricate?

Heathcliff was unaware of this, though he would soon find out. In fact, he had guessed what Momer was thinking.

Mo Mo... is about to overturn the chessboard.

Instead of speaking directly, Momo reached out and slid his hand through the air, writing a series of characters.

Orange.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all of this stems from a project called Orange."

Orange?

What is that? Isn't that an orange?

All of this must have nothing to do with oranges right now. Could it be some kind of mysterious code name?

"That's right, as you may have guessed, Orange is just a code name, representing a plan, a mysterious plan, a plan led by the Japanese government itself!"

Mo Mo's expression was serious as he said, "The ultimate goal of Project Orange is to use high-performance AI to develop unmanned weapons that can be deployed in actual combat."

"And the first item in this plan is us, the players who are imprisoned in Aincrad."

All the players looked at each other, still not understanding what Momo was talking about.

"As you've all noticed, you can recall the AI ​​level of each NPC when you first entered SAO, and the current AI level in SAO."

"You'll all notice that the AI ​​level of NPCs has greatly improved. I believe that when you're doing some tasks, you might even encounter situations where the NPCs' intelligence is so high that it increases the difficulty of the game."

Mo Mo paused for a moment, looked around at everyone, and saw if there was a hotspot.

Sure enough, a player with a square face and small eyes raised his hand. After being noticed by everyone, he said loudly, "A few days ago, when I was doing a quest... because I disrespected an NPC, I was tricked by him. I didn't get any quest rewards, failed the quest, and even lost the quest materials."

"Later, I sincerely apologized to him and did the task again before I received the final reward, which is this scimitar in my hand, a fine weapon."

As everyone watched him raise his scimitar high, and several people loudly recounted their experiences to those around them, their faces gradually became convinced that what Momo said was true.

The overall AI level of the game is indeed improving, and the AI ​​level of many NPCs has reached an unbelievable level.

They had never seen such a level of AI before in any news or game.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet. I believe you have all confirmed what I said."

"So, here comes the truth about this game!"

Mo Mo's words made everyone hold their breath. They couldn't help but believe Mo Mo more, because Mo Mo's words didn't sound like nonsense.

Anyway, even if Mo Mo is talking nonsense, no one can correct him.

"The reason this game exists is that in order to improve the level of game AI, it is necessary to acquire a large amount of human emotional information. This information includes human joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, confidence and despair, perseverance and despondency, and so on."

"All of this data needs to be collected. However, there is no good way for scientists to use devices to continuously track a person, record a person's life, and record all of a person's emotional data."

At this point, many players realized what was going on, their mouths agape in astonishment. Many female players clenched their fists, almost too afraid to listen any further.

"and!"

Mo Mo raised his voice and said, "The emotional data of just one person is not enough. There must be a large amount of emotional data records to serve as a suitable sample, collect the commonalities and differences, set up references, and truly understand the secrets of human emotional information."

"What are joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness? What is excitement and agitation? What is sadness and lamentation? What is despair and struggle? Only by understanding all of this and having sufficient data can we simulate emotions and create high-level AI."

"As you all probably thought, someone has proposed a solution at this point."

"That's right, it's Kayaba Akihiko!"

"Kayaba Akihiko devised a solution to this problem with a brilliant idea."

"It is Sword Art Online, it is SAO, it is Aincrad beneath our feet!"

"This game isn't just a game; it's a massive testing ground!"

092 This is the abyss of despair

As soon as Mo Mo finished speaking, the scene became surprisingly quiet. There was no uproar as expected; instead, everyone remained silent.

They were surprised, they were thinking, their brains were trying to accept it all, but how could accepting it all be an easy thing?

This is a matter of life and death for everyone. Everyone wants to get the truth from Momo, and then find a way to escape this death game and return to the real world.

In the real world, players have family, friends, classmates, and all the people they care about, as well as their own careers and goals.

But in the game, they can only be players who kill monsters to survive, or warriors who risk their lives to fight bosses to clear the game. This kind of warrior is not the role they want to play.

Few people truly enjoy risking their lives, especially when the battle is against nothing more than a bunch of data. If you win, you gain a bunch of data; if you lose, you lose your life.

Who would be willing to do such a losing business?

No one was willing to do it, so they desperately wanted to get the truth from Momo; it was a shared expectation in their hearts.

They themselves are aware of this, so right now they are a force that is forcing Momo to say something, and they are the support force of Kayaba Akihiko.

Kayaba Akihiko was well aware of this, and he used the strength of several thousand people to push Momo to the edge of a cliff, leaving Momo with only one option: surrender.

Mo Mo was also very clear about this. He knew Kayaba Akihiko's advantages, the psychology of each player, and his own weaknesses, as well as where he might lose.

Or rather, it was Momo's doing that led him to this precipice, to confront Kayaba Akihiko.

Kayaba Akihiko wanted to play, so Momo played along with him.

Kayaba Akihiko pushed Momo onto a cliff in an attempt to force her to comply, but Momo simply jumped off the cliff and flew away.

Kayaba Akihiko went to great lengths to create a situation he believed to be unsolvable, and Momo took advantage of this situation to turn the tables and take care of her own affairs in the process.

"You're talking nonsense! What evidence do you have?"

Heathcliff panicked completely, yelling at Momo as if trying to stop him from continuing.

Momo turned around and smiled at Heathcliff, saying, "Ah, didn't you tell me to say that?"

"I told you to speak, but I didn't tell you to spout nonsense! You've made all of this up, haven't you? How could the government do something so outrageous? What's the point of all this? What good will it do you to mislead all the players?"

Heathcliff's loud rebuttal drew the players' attention, a glimmer of hope appearing in their eyes.

At this moment, Momo suppressed his smile and continued in a somber tone, "Heathcliff, I understand how you feel, but I'm not here to argue with you. Winning in words is meaningless."

"I'm not arguing with you, don't change the subject! How can you prove what you're saying?"

"Unfortunately, I cannot prove it."

"If you can't prove it, then you're talking nonsense and have ulterior motives!"

Mo Mo narrowed his eyes, but Kayaba Akihiko sensed a hint of danger in that look. He wanted to continue suppressing Mo Mo, but Mo Mo beat him to it.

"If you can't prove it, then it's nonsense. So, Mr. Heathcliff, please prove that your footage is authentic first, shall we?"

Heathcliff gritted his teeth and said, "That's you and Kayaba Akihiko. Do I need to prove it? Isn't it crystal clear?"

"Completely clear?"

Mo Mo sneered and said, "We only see two people. One is very similar to me, with the same equipment, style and hairstyle. The other is very similar to Kayaba Akihiko, with the same white coat and tall and thin figure."

"But I'd like to ask Mr. Heathcliff, are you able to see the faces of those two people clearly through the thick fog? Forgive my poor eyesight, I can only see an outline."

"But if that's not you, then who is?"

Mo Mo spread his hands and said, "That's not a problem I can manage. Who else is there but me? This is a question that you, the investigator, should be questioning. If you say something that can't be proven, then it's false."

"Since that's the case, you can't prove whether the person in the video is me or not. Today, you brought Ya Wang and incited the fan community to interrupt my wedding, questioning my identity in front of thousands of people and trying to pin the label of a participant in the game on me. What are your intentions!"

Heathcliff was stunned and speechless. Momer's words struck him like a storm, leaving him powerless to fight back.

What should I do? What should I do?

Mo Mo didn't actually do much; he simply turned the tables on Kayaba Akihiko's plans and messed them up, which was exactly what Kayaba Akihiko couldn't tolerate.

Kayaba Akihiko's plan was meticulously crafted, each step linked like a chain, designed to completely crush Momo. However, Momo arbitrarily pulled these chains, twisting them into a giant iron ball. How could such a plan possibly achieve its original purpose?

correct!

Heathcliff's eyes lit up. "But Momer, you confessed! You confessed!"

Mo Mo blinked and said, "Yeah, so what?"

"So...so..."
