Both sides got the results they wanted, and this challenge can be considered to have come to a satisfactory conclusion.
Shiraishikawa, like an actor, threw himself into the next scene.
Monday arrived quietly during the night.
This is unusual for GGO players in the SAO world.
The first GGO World Championship opens today.
"Things in other worlds can be put on hold for now, and we can wait and see how things develop..."
"But we can't leave the dead guns out!"
The appearance of "Death Gun" has begun to affect GGO's revenue and reputation.
Some players are too afraid to log in to their account 07 anymore because they are afraid of dying.
Some media outlets have even attributed the players' deaths to the game itself.
They even intentionally steered the conversation back to "SAO" and the first-generation fully submersible equipment that had caused a stir in the past.
Shiraishikawa knows the SAO world inside and out.
Finding Death Gun's true identity and exposing the organization behind him is actually quite simple for him.
However, while that approach would be straightforward, its reach would be very limited.
The impact caused should be publicly eliminated from the corresponding circle.
Therefore, Shiraishikawa not only had to defeat Death Gun, but also had to do so in front of GGO players.
Shatter the opponent's supposedly mythical "superpower"!
That's right, we'll take advantage of the live broadcast of this World Championship.
And ideally, it would be a championship showdown in the finals.
In reality, it would be quite troublesome for the "Dead Gun" organization to open boxes for players and then break into their homes to commit murder.
The time and money spent cannot afford to fail easily.
Therefore, Shiraishikawa knew very well that they would not attack every player they encountered directly.
Running around the world like that would only exhaust you first.
"Death Gun" will only target the favorites who are seen as obstacles to winning the championship.
That way, not only can the enemy be eliminated most efficiently, but the hype can also be maximized, and a lot of attention can be gained in the fastest time.
The World Championship officially opens at 8:00 PM on Monday evening.
According to the rules, all registered participants are required to be online before this time.
Otherwise, it would be considered a voluntary abstention!
Shiraishikawa and Asada Shino had already met in the game more than an hour earlier.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, their feelings for each other are now rapidly growing stronger.
"I never expected GGO to become so popular."
"And even the production company is so mysterious. After all the investigation, they only managed to uncover the distributor."
"I think it's a company called Rect. They've never done game distribution before."
Asada Shino picked up her drink and sipped it slowly.
Due to my real-life age, I am not allowed to drink alcohol even in the game, according to local regulations.
Shiraishikawa listened quietly.
The CEO of this company is Shozo Yuki.
He is Asuna's biological father.
Shiraishikawa made contact with Asuna and Yuuki Shozo.
After learning that Shiraishikawa was the savior who rescued his daughter, Yuki Shozo was very grateful.
Although he wasn't particularly interested in the game distribution business, he accepted Shiraishichuan's deal with him with the mindset of giving it a try.
Shiraishikawa temporarily handed over the management of the online servers for ALO and GGO to Shozo Yuki.
Of course, the final decision-making power for modification still rests with Shiraishikawa.
As for the various events, collaborations, and the World Championship, those are all the work of Rest Inc.
"I never expected that GGO would accumulate over 100 million fans worldwide in just one week."
"That's why Rest Company plans to hold a world championship!"
"Do you know how much profit ALO and GGO have brought to REST in total...?"
On the screen, the hosts are chatting.
They were all waiting together for the countdown to end.
Time quickly came to eight o'clock.
Without any warning, all the registered contestants vanished from the spot.
243 Shiraishikawa and Shino were no exception.
After waiting, when I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in the bar.
The environment in which the two were located was completely unfamiliar.
However, because they were paired up as a team when they registered, Shiraishikawa and Asada Shino were not far apart.
They can still see each other.
Moreover, his equipment had automatically changed from his casual clothes to combat attire.
According to the information, this first match is an elimination tournament that includes all the players.
After all, with so many people registering, if the competition were to proceed as usual, the finals might not even be scheduled until next year.
The entire server will simultaneously generate 10,000 independent, closed maps.
These maps are all 10,000 meters by 10,000 meters in diameter, which is quite large.
Each map contains various terrains and landmarks, including deserts, swamps, mountains, and towns.
All individuals or teams are randomly assigned to any corner of the map.
Isn't this just a massive battle royale game?
Chapter 215: Sinon gives GGO a bad review? The reason is too real!
All Shozo Yuki needs to do is have his employees follow the game's system update activities.
But Shiraishikawa has many more things to consider.
Currently, GGO is supporting millions of players simultaneously playing games and streaming.
It doesn't consume the computing power of a computer, but rather the psionic energy of the subspace.
The two were then moved into the rainforest.
"Shiraishi-kun!"
Sinon, carrying Hecate, quickly ran over.
The girl moved effortlessly through the vines and across the tree roots, like a nimble cat.
Unlike battle royale games in other games, GGO's developers have clearly allowed players to use their existing equipment from the start.
Furthermore, the weight of the firearms has been adjusted to better suit the player experience.
Shino only breathed a sigh of relief when she got close to Shiraishikawa.
A light drizzle was falling in the rainforest.
Each terrain has its own unique weather system.
"Is the circle already shrinking?"
Shiraishikawa opened the provided digital map.
Although it's impossible to determine the coordinates of other players from this device, all the basic information is available.
The changing colors indicate that toxic gas is spreading rapidly.
"Shiraishi-kun, we're on the edge now, we need to move quickly."
Poetry reveals a resolute expression; she has entered the zone.
From a seemingly delicate girl with glasses, she has transformed into a cool and sniper!
However, regardless of the angle, clues can be gleaned from the behavior just now.
Although she may not have realized it herself, she had already regarded Shiraishikawa as a safe haven.
It is a full four kilometers away from the city center.
This is not a picnic; an encounter could happen at any moment.
If you want to gain a favorable position as early as possible, transportation is essential.
"The prerequisite is that we must first get out of the rainforest area... Ah—!"
Shino felt a lightness in her body, as if she had lost her balance.
She couldn't help but let out a cute exclamation.
When she came to her senses, she realized that she had not fallen, but was being held firmly by Shiraishi Kawa.
Shiraishikawa's arms passed under Shino's legs and back.
Hecate, along with her weapons, were all lifted into a princess carry to her chest effortlessly.
"This is faster, hold on tight to me."
"Um......"
Shino looked up and admired Shiraishikawa's face, which seemed to always have a cheerful smile on it.
