Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"Oh."

Lin Yan said indifferently.

"It's on me. Please order whatever you like, don't be shy."

Seijiro Kikuoka probably noticed the displeasure on Lin Yan's face, and immediately said in a fawning manner.

"Oh."

Lin Yan glanced at the menu and realized that even the cheapest soufflé cost ¥1200. So the coffee and cream pudding he had just ordered were well over budget.

This system is a complete rip-off.

Lin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

However, now the person who's going to pay the bill has arrived.

Then it doesn't matter.

"Strawberry sundae and French imported mille-feuille."

"I understand, please wait."

Across from him, Seijiro Kikuoka ordered five large servings of cream pudding, which was completely out of character for an older man.

He wore black-rimmed glasses and had a very tacky hairstyle.

He looks like a rigid, old-fashioned teacher from a school.

Especially after the food he ordered was brought to the table by the waiter, Lin Yan witnessed just how terrifying it could be for a man to love sweets.

Lin Yan was just hungry, that's why he ordered so much.

After all, coffee shops don't serve ramen or steak.

"Mr. Lin Yan, I'm so sorry for bothering you."

"The cream pudding at this shop is absolutely amazing! I didn't expect we have such similar tastes. It seems this collaboration will definitely go very smoothly!"

"cooperate?"

Lin Yan finished the last bite of his cream pudding, glanced at the man sitting opposite him, and thought, "He really doesn't come here unless he needs something. This unsolicited fawning is definitely not the kind of worship and admiration a greasy middle-aged man has for his SAO conquest hero."

There is no free lunch in the world.

This statement is truly a profound truth.

And at this time.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the coffee shop for cream pudding and received a reward of 10,000. Please check your account.]

[System reminder: The minimum living allowance in this area is 100,000 per month. Please work hard!]

"100,000 is only about one-tenth of a month's living expenses."

Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

"I'm full, I'm leaving."

Lin Yan stood up to leave, completely ignoring what Kikuoka Seijiro had said, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

"Mr. Lin, please wait. I know this is a waste of your time, but we are paid, and the revenge will be substantial."

"remuneration?"

Lin Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

[Ding! Host has activated the daily check-in task. Check in for 100 minutes on 'GunGaleOnline' to receive a reward of 100,000.]

'GunGaleOnline'?

Isn't that the game?

GunGaleOnline, commonly known as "GGO," is another virtual reality game from the anime "Sword Art Online." The main gameplay involves shooting and then battling it out. Players start in teams, fight each other, and the last person standing wins honor and victory.

At first glance, this system seems to be helping.

You can get a month's living expenses just by logging into 'GunGaleOnline', but what about the cost of purchasing GGO?

That's truly treacherous.

Why not cooperate with this person and see what his compensation is?

"Okay, go ahead and say it. Let me see if you're sincere enough." Lin Yan sat down again and ordered a lot of delicious food.

Seijiro Kikuoka paid the bill in advance and ordered some extra.

He smiled.

"How about this number?"

Seijiro Kikuoka gestured.

Lin Yan smiled without saying a word.

"Could you please provide the account details?" Kikuoka Seijiro wasn't one to dawdle; he knew what this person lacked most, so he naturally wanted to cater to his needs.

"No."

Lin Yan didn't even have an identity document, let alone an account.

Lin Yan once again witnessed what it means to have power and influence.

Lin Yan examined his new registration card. The photo on the card was really well taken, a true reflection of his handsome face.

The address is his home address.

Everything else is fake.

And at this time.

[Ding, host has received a remittance of ¥1,000,000... Please check your account.]

hiss--

What a generous act.

Although it wasn't a huge sum, it was enough to tide Lin Yan over in the short term, and he no longer had to worry about living expenses.

"Is your request for my help related to the recent cybercrime?"

Lin Yan guessed.

The system has such a sign-in task, and I saw such news before, as well as the fact that Kikuoka Seijiro went to great lengths to find Lin Yan.

There must be some intricate connection between these three.

"As expected of Mr. Lin Yan."

Kikuoka Seijiro had a vague feeling that Lin Yan was definitely not simple, and that he probably couldn't control this person with his own power. Since he could get Lin Yan's help so easily this time, then ten million was worth it.

He took a very thin piece of paper out of his briefcase.

That was a terminal device.

From a certain perspective, in Kikuoka Seijiro's view, Lin Yan is also a survivor of the "SwordArtOnline incident".

And he is the most famous survivor.

But Kikuoka Seijiro could never have imagined that Lin Yan would eventually seize Kayaba Akihiko's GM privileges, something he could have done anytime he wanted.

For those people, SAO is a prison, a hell, trapping everyone and putting them under the threat of death.

But for Lin Yan, this was just a game.

The real game.

"The number of reports of theft and damage to virtual assets exceeded 100 in November alone." For this type of case, 100 cases in one month is indeed too many.

Normally, such cases account for only one in ten, or even one in several ten.

Such a rapid surge makes one suspect that someone is manipulating things behind the scenes, but what exactly is their purpose?

"More than that, there have been thirteen real-world incidents caused by disputes in VR games, one of which resulted in death... This news should have been widely reported, and the murder weapon was a replica of a Western sword."

"Is there anything special about this replica Western sword?"

"That sword weighs nearly 4 kilograms. How can an ordinary person wield it?"

"Kikuoka Seijiro said."

That's true. It's not difficult to lift or move a four-kilogram weight, but it's not easy for a person to swing a four-kilogram weight.

"If it were just one case, it wouldn't be enough to make a fuss, but the number is just too astonishing."

Seijiro Kikuoka added.

This is why it attracted the attention of the relevant departments.

Generally speaking, these departments will only intervene when an incident reaches a certain scale or influence.

This is the trigger that caused social instability.

Lin Yan wondered to himself if this kind of game could reduce people's psychological fear of physical harm to others in the real world.

This is similar to how, in real life, the psychological burden of killing someone is immense. But...

0254 Intrusion [Please Subscribe]

In a game, anyone can wield a sword and kill.

The same principle applies to firearms.

Lin Yan told Kikuoka Seijiro about this guess, and Kikuoka Seijiro looked as if he suddenly understood.

"PK behavior in games might really affect real life, just like..."

“Psychological problems: sometimes they can’t distinguish between reality and games, and the PK in the game is a kind of rehearsal for real-life murder.”

Lin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"It seems you're at your wits' end... which is why you went to great lengths to find me... I'm truly sorry to have troubled you..."

His meaningful smile didn't actually have any profound meaning.

However, to others, Lin Yan was an unfathomable person, with an extremely deep mind, like the abyss at the bottom of the sea.

Actually, this matter is very simple.

Repeating the same thing every day creates a psychological suggestion. Once this suggestion takes hold, those with psychological problems are like cracked eggs, vulnerable to invasion by the 'poison'.

“You’re right, Lin Yan.”

Seijiro Kikuoka smiled somewhat helplessly.

To the average person, their department seems to have no problem that can't be solved, but they also have many frustrations.

They are constrained and unable to fully utilize their abilities.

"Indeed, we have no way to intervene, and it would be very difficult for us to handle this matter. Now that Mr. Lin Yan has seen through it, I will no longer hide it. Compared to so-called face, resolving the issue is more important."

Lin Yan savored the cream cake, each bite costing a hundred yuan.

That melts in your mouth.

It's so delicate it makes your tongue tremble.

While enjoying delicious food, they were discussing such bloody matters. I doubt that anyone sitting next to them would believe it.

“The load generated by the loop connection of VRMMO is very small. If it is banned in China, it will only cause users and practitioners to go abroad.”

"Indeed, Mr. Lin Yan's analysis is very insightful."

Seijiro Kikuoka's expression turned slightly serious, but it returned to its usual affectionate state a second later.

"This mille-feuille cake is really good."

Lin Yan said calmly.
