I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

"Is that so..." Kikuoka Seijiro stopped writing, looked at the information written in the notebook, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

As expected of the girl who defeated Kayaba Akihiko, all she told me was the description of her battle with Kayaba Akihiko...

What I want to know is not the description of the battle between you two, Ms. Yuuki, you...

And, looking at your smile, it's not like you only remember these, right?!

Forget it, forget it. It seems I have to help her check those people’s information quickly so that I can get other clues.

Kikuoka Seijiro glanced at the names written on the left side of the notebook.

Lisbeth, Silica, Kirito, Agil, Klein...

These people are probably her trusted subordinates.

Kikuoka Seijiro was still in the state of imagining, thinking that these poor kids on the list were SAO survivors with mental problems like Asuna.

"After we go back, we will first investigate their personalities before they entered the game, and then send someone to inquire about their current conditions... If that doesn't work, let the psychiatrist heal these people first, and then let them cooperate with the psychiatrist to heal Miss Yuki."

Kikuoka Seijiro thought to himself, then put away his pen and notebook, and a sincere smile appeared on his face again.

"Thank you so much for troubling you today, Ms. Yuuki. Please rest as soon as possible."

Kikuoka Seijiro stood up and said, "If you have any important information, please contact us as soon as possible. As for your request to find a friend, we will try our best to meet your needs.

After all, even for me, it's difficult to disclose someone's privacy without their consent.

Therefore, we must obtain the other party's consent before we can pass their contact information to you, Ms. Yuuki. Please be patient."

The expression on Kikuoka Seijiro's face was always his signature professional smile, without a single flaw.

Asuna nodded, and naturally would not refuse. "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Kikuoka. If I remember any other information, I will definitely call you as soon as possible."

Kikuoka Seijiro: "Well, then, I will go back first. Please take care of yourself."

Asuna: "Well, please go slowly."

Asuna nodded, and then watched Kikuoka Seijiro leave the ward.

At this time, Kato Hui raised her head, took her eyes away from the book, and said, "I thought you would tell him everything you knew as soon as possible."

Asuna replied in surprise: "Eh? I really only remember those~!"

Kato Megumi: “Yeah, I know.”

Looking at the girl with a smile in her eyes on the hospital bed, Kato Megumi nodded lightly.

You are a patient, as long as you are happy, okay.

Afterwards, Kato Keihiro turned his attention to this mathematics textbook that was covered with book covers from other books.

I don't have time to enroll in classes right now, so I have to review secretly like this.

However, what she is reviewing now is not high school content, but junior high school content, so the difficulty has been greatly reduced.

Asuna, on the other hand, has not yet started to review. Her body is too weak due to restrictions and she needs a lot of nutrition to recover quickly.

Although my physical fitness will slowly recover under the system seal as time goes by, I can still speed up this process if I take the initiative to eat and replenish nutrition.

In the end, her physical fitness could only recover to the peak level of human beings. As for the part that exceeded it, it was still tightly sealed. Unless she returned to Orario or went to other worlds, Asuna would not be able to perform at her full level as long as she was in this world.

However, even so, the peak physical fitness of humans is enough for Asuna to deal with many dangers.

Afterwards, Asuna took the time to send a message to her mother, and then sent another message to her brother, saying that she was fine now and there was no need for them to worry.

Afterwards, Asuna chatted with the two of them on the phone for a while, and then began to browse the Internet for reports about SAO in recent years.

However, what she didn't expect was...

————【ARGUS】

This was just one of the many small game development companies a few years ago, but with the joining of Akihiko Kayaba, it quickly developed into the largest game development company in the industry.

They are well-known for their focus on player rights and are also the developer and operator of SAO.

However, after SAO turned into a death game, the company naturally took all the responsibility and announced its bankruptcy.

However, even if the company goes bankrupt, someone must maintain SAO's servers, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble.

It is possible that those players trapped in the game will die completely due to some server failure.

After that, the task of maintaining the SAO server was handed over to a comprehensive electronic equipment manufacturer called [RECT].

Because the company's Full Dive Technology Research Department has very advanced technology, they have been responsible for the maintenance of the SAO server since the collapse of [ARGUS].

The CEO of [RECT] is called Shozo Yuuki.

That is, Asuna's father.

Chapter 23 ALO

Seeing this, Asuna sighed inwardly.

It turns out that they are not the only ones trapped in the game who are working hard.

Before the difficult time, I felt that my father looked a little haggard. Is that the case?

"However, if the SAO data is still there, I wonder if it can be restored."

Asuna thought secretly in her heart, after all, SAO's server has always been maintained by her company, which is enough to prove the strength of their company.

By then, if SAO is really remade, probably... not many people will play it...

Asuna couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head when she thought about how SAO's reputation had been completely ruined.

It seems that I can only experience the scenes of SAO in my own system from now on.

However, the next piece of information caught Asuna's interest.

"The visuals and movement accuracy are... on par with SAO's high-level VRMMO game?"

There is no doubt that this sentence successfully aroused Luo Zhen's interest.

A high-quality game that's on par with SAO?

When will my company be able to make a game like this?

Could it be possible that in the past two years, a genius like Kayaba Akihiko has joined?

You have to know that the SAO that had imprisoned them for more than two years was the product that the crazy genius scientist Kayaba Akihiko put all his energy into creating!

Before that, other games on the market were basically just very small-scale things. It was not until the emergence of SAO that the entire market was completely changed. Otherwise, it would not have attracted so many players to conduct testing and first testing.

The initial testing of SAO was enough to show how popular it was, and now, their own company has actually developed a game that can rival SAO?

Although many games have appeared on the market in the past two years, in Asuna's opinion, none of these games can be compared with SAO.

If Kayaba Akihiko had not committed suicide, and if SAO was not a death game, it would have become popular all over the world by now.

Asuna was very sure about this!

So, under such circumstances, Asuna really didn't believe that other game designers except Kayaba Akihiko could create a VR world of the same level.

However, when I think about the fact that there are always people better than you, and that even I can travel through time, why can't I allow someone else to have the same talent as Kayaba Akihiko?

This undoubtedly aroused Asuna's curiosity, and she couldn't help but delve deeper into it.

"A game that can rival SAO, and it's produced by [RECT]... Let's take a look at the situation first."

Asuna felt that with the example of SAO, it was impossible for the researchers at [RECT] not to learn something from it, and then, a game that could rival SAO appeared. Asuna couldn't think of it as just a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Asuna searched for the game software, found the website address of the game's official website on the Internet, and clicked on it.

The next moment, an illustration appeared on Asuna's phone screen.

It was a picture of a boy and girl flying in the sky with swords in their hands, with a huge full moon looking up from deep in the forest as the background.

Both the boy and the girl were dressed in authentic fantasy-style clothing, with a pair of large transparent wings growing from their backs.

And below this illustration, there is a very exquisite game name logo.

The name of the game is————【ALfheimOnline】.

Abbreviation————【ALO】.

"The kingdom of fairies...?"

Asuna murmured softly and subconsciously clicked the purchase button. Then, she found that she didn't have a stealth device, so even if she bought it, she couldn't play it now.

What's more, Asuna didn't think her parents and the medical staff in the hospital would allow her to log into the game again under such circumstances.

You finally got out of the death game, why are you so anxious now to enter another game?

What? This game was developed by your company?

I don't want to think about that! Playing games without spending money is not something you, a patient, should think about!

Ahem, the right thing to do is to take good care of yourself and study hard!

When Asuna thought of this kind of advice, she felt a headache.

"Eh? Big changes in R&D personnel?"

However, before Asuna could feel a headache, a new piece of news attracted Asuna's attention.

"Nobuyuki Sugo...was fired for being involved in a dangerous experiment? And thrown into prison shortly afterwards?"

Asuna softly read out the words on the phone.

On the side, Kato Megumi, who was studying secretly, silently raised her head and glanced at Asuna.

His eyes seemed to be asking: How do you know?

However, because Asuna's attention was on her mobile phone at the moment, she did not notice anything unusual about Kato Megumi, and just quickly looked through the relevant information.

However, apart from knowing that a man named Nobuyuki Sugo tried to do some dangerous experiments, was then kicked out of the company by his father Shozo Yuuki, and then arrested by the police, there is no useful information on the Internet.

However, because of this incident, the game called "Fairy Kingdom" was preheated before it was even launched.

You know, after the SAO incident, almost no one dared to develop this type of game again, for fear that they would go bankrupt because of a game.

However, Asuna's father produced the game. Although he suddenly replaced the production staff in the middle of the process, ALO was successfully released soon after and even caused quite a stir.

Since she couldn't find any other information, Asuna turned her attention back to the game [ALO].

"Extreme SKILL system, emphasizing player skills... encouraging PK?"

Looking at the description on the webpage, Asuna couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Is it a good thing that the death game is SAO and not ALO?

Just from the extremes, emphasis, and encouragement, it can be seen that ALO is definitely not the kind of game that can make people worry-free.

"Extreme...?"

Then, at this moment, Kato Megumi, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

“I’ve played the game you mentioned, and there are no levels in this game.

Various skills can only be improved through repeated use. Moreover, even if your skill level is improved, the hit rate will not increase too much. It depends on your own skills...

If it's those of you who came back alive from SAO...it should be fine.

Moreover, combat relies entirely on the player's athletic ability, rather than sword skills.

Although there is magic in this game, it is only to the extent of the sword skills in SAO, and it has its own characteristics in every aspect.

Moreover, this game is close to SAO in terms of image accuracy and action frame rate, but I have never played SAO, so I don’t know the difference between the two.”

Chapter 24 It's sour

Asuna: "..."

Kato Megumi: “Is there any problem?”

"No... I just didn't expect that Sister Hui, you would also play games." Asuna really didn't expect that this older sister who looked very literary would actually play games produced by her family.

She thought that Kato Megumi was the kind of person who could study literature as long as she had books.

Unexpectedly, he also plays games like these young people.

By the way, Sister Hui doesn’t seem to be yet thirty years old, so there’s no problem!

When she thought of this, the expression on Asuna's face became much more natural.
