Chapter 51 (511) Celebration
Why does Chu Yue have a sense of loss?
As Alay, who understands people's hearts and feelings better than Chu Yue, he naturally understands.
Because in this matter, Chu Yue lost her sense of accomplishment.
IN THE LAST TWO WORLDS, WHETHER IT IS THE CLANNAD WORLD OR THE CURRENT SWORD ART DOMAIN WORLD, CHU YUE HAS DONE MANY THINGS WITH A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT.
For example, changing the dream of the calamity, such as creating the soul of his daughter, such as writing "Hope" in SAO to save players, etc., these are all things that Chu Yue has done in these worlds, and they are actually things with a sense of achievement.
Gaia and Alaya have long said that there is no difference between gods and people in terms of feelings, not that because they are gods, they have no desires and no desires, and their thoughts are otherworldly. It's just that a god who has no lifespan can look at emotions more openly than humans.
After Chu Yue promised Kanna to let Kanna enter the VR world, he began to study how to synchronize the soul with the VR game world, but after his efforts, he could not get a reward, and finally relied on the power of Alaya and Gaia.
If Chu Yue succeeded in creating such a device by herself, it would mean that Chu Yue's understanding of the soul would be at a higher level, and the control of divine power would naturally be more comfortable, which was originally a very rewarding thing. Unfortunately, it failed in the end.
I didn't succeed and lost my sense of accomplishment, so I felt a sense of loss.
Alaya understood, so he scolded Chu Yue for being stupid. And although Chu Yue was a little strange at first, as I said before, experience brings an understanding of feelings. Chu Yue, who has lived for so long, will gradually understand after calming down and thinking about it.
It's just that it's useless to understand. It's like this now, and it's quite helpless.
But...... After thinking about the reason for her sense of loss, Chu Yue couldn't help but think of another question......
On the other side, Kirito and other SAO survivors began to be discharged from the hospital one after another. If you are a middle school student, you will also receive an admission letter from this secondary school.
It's already the end of December, and by the spring of 2025, you can come to the school.
Kirito, Yuki, Lizzebet, and Sirika are all four of them, because they are middle school students, and after returning to the real world, they have also contacted each other, and they have all decided to enter this middle school. It's just that Kirito and Yuki, both of them are the same age, they are both sixteen years old this year, and Liz is seventeen years old and is going to high school. Sirika, on the other hand, is younger, only fourteen years old, and is going to junior high school.
And Klein, Achille, Sasha, Yuriel, and Xinka have all graduated from high school and become members of society, so they don't need to go to school.
As for Asuna, theoretically, she also needs to go to this school. It's just that Asuna is one of the last 300 people to wake up, and she is still doing rehabilitation, so her enrollment will be postponed for a while.
Of course, everyone knows that the purpose of this school is to facilitate the management of these children who have survived the SAO. After all, in that murderous game, only you know what happened. Adults are fine, but if you are a middle school student, who knows what kind of psychological changes have occurred.
It's just that for these children, even if they want to go to high school or apply for college through normal channels, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult.
And recently there was another big news, that is, the RECT company, which was finally dissolved. All of the company's assets were put up for public sale.
At this time, NL Co., Ltd., a newly established company, entered into a partnership with RECT Co., Ltd. and acquired RECT's ALO-related business.
After acquiring ALO's database, NL discovered that it contained SAO's player profile. This also confirms that ALO is copied from the former SAO database. It just so happens that when NL is promoting, it can also attract these original SAO players by the way.
However, due to the many changes, ALO could not start operating immediately. After inheriting ALO, NL needed to make a major update to ALO.
At this time, Chu Yue, who was under house arrest in school, had nothing else to do, so she began to upload The Seed to the Internet.
This is the life's work of the genius quantum physicist Akihiko Kayaba. By running a small package, you can have a VRMMO world that is completely capable of full stealth.
However, you'll have to have a fully stealthy device to enter the VR world. By the way, NERvGear, which used to run SAO, has been completely banned. The most widely used full stealth device today is AmuSphere running ALO.
To put it simply, anyone with the equipment to set up a server can download The Seed and generate a VR world.
What's even more amazing is that as long as the worlds are generated through The Seed, they can be connected to each other through the protocol. This means that anyone or business can create a VR world server generated by The Seed and then connect the two to each other. And in the world, even two worlds that are indirectly connected can visit each other.
A few days after Chu Yue uploaded The Seed, NL issued an announcement, claiming that it would use The Seed for new research and development work, and the launch date would be further delayed. However, there will be a new surprise for players at that time.
Although the players complained, they also indirectly promoted The Seed. The Seed's downloads on the web skyrocketed instantly.
Because the predecessor of ALO is SAO, and The Seed is the purest essence of SAO. NL did not change its name after accepting ALO. And now, the operating company has changed, and there has been such a long time of updates, and players say that this ALO has already become a "new ALO".
In schools there are information management courses with computers that can assume servers. Therefore, Chu Yue also used The Seed to create a VR world. Merely...... After entering the game through Gaia, Chu Yue found that it was a desert geography.
Because Chu Yue entered in administrator mode, he could fly directly in the game without restrictions. And after flying, Chu Yue also discovered the limitations of this world.
Fly too high and see far. Further afield, there seems to be a border. You must know that in SAO, there is only the outermost part of Aingrunte, and the border cannot be seen in the distance.
After logging out of the game, Chu Yue checked the game code developed through The Seed again, and then understood.
"The size of the server will limit the size of the world generated." Chu Yue said, "So, let's experiment next...... Yui, you try to invade this world. β
"Yes, Dad." Yui said with a salute to Chu Yue on her phone.
The world created by Chu Yue has not yet been connected to other worlds, so Chu Yue has to connect his mobile phone and the server with a connection cable in order to allow Yui to invade.
However, as soon as I picked up the cable, someone called.
"Daddy, it's Achill calling." Yui said.
Akyll's original name was Andrew Kilbart Mills, and because the name was so long, everyone still used to call him Akyll. Not only Akyr, but these friends of Chu Yue still call each other by their in-game names when they call each other.
Although Chu Yue said that after the start of school, it is not allowed to call each other like this, and everyone has to call each other by their real names, but everyone who has long been used to it still likes to call the game name.
"Yo, Achill." Chu Yue said after answering the phone.
"What have you been busy with lately, Chu Yue?" Achill asked.
"Nothing...... I'm testing the world environment generated by The Seed on my side. Chu Yue said, "The hardware here in the school is quite good." β
Chu Yue only told everyone that she had been invited to be a teacher at the school, and did not say anything about her being placed under house arrest here. Therefore, everyone only knew some things about Chu Yue from the news, and they didn't know the deeper content.
"Really? The Seed...... It's been very popular recently, and I'm thinking about whether to get one in my store so that customers can experience it, hahaha! β
"A full stealth device is fixed to one character, right? And now many people have lingering feelings about this...... The hardware requirements for a server that can run The Seed are not low. Chu Yue reminded Achill.
"That's right, I don't have the money to do this kind of thing right now." "By the way, actually, I called you today to invite you to my cafΓ©." β
"Isn't it a bar?" Chu Yue asked.
"It's a cafΓ© by day, and a bar by night." "You're almost out of the hospital, aren't you?" I want you to come and have a look, let's plan and have a celebration! β
"Celebration......" Chu Yue said, "Okay, when will I pass?" β
"Anytime." "The address is in ......," Akyl said.
"Okay, I got it." Chu Yue said, "Then I'll go over tonight." β
"Hmm." After Achill finished speaking, he lowered his voice again and said, "Hey, Chu Yue, I heard about it, you guy, your girlfriend here didn't break up with you......"
"Haha, yes, it's a kind of trouble if it's too charming." Chu Yue laughed.
"It's so thick-skinned." "However, I didn't expect it to be true. I thought my wife was a good woman in the world......"
"It's so thick-skinned." Chu Yue said.
"Each other, each other." Achill smiled and said, "However, I'm even more surprised that you guys can still hook up with Asuna in this situation, if you let Asuna's personal guards know, you will definitely be dissolved!" β
"Hahaha, that's what they wanted to do when they were in SAO." Chu Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask Shen Wu if he has time now, and if he has time, we'll go over together in the evening." β
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the store with my wife."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yue shook her head with a smile. It's always a pleasure to talk to someone like Achill with a bold personality.
Akyll has a very beautiful wife in reality, and during the time that Akyl was in a coma, his wife held the store alone, until Akyl woke up. It's just that everyone has only heard about it, but they haven't seen it with their own eyes.
"Yui, give Kanna a call." Chu Yue began to contact Kanna.
Shen Wu is usually the most idle, and after receiving Chu Yue's call, he immediately came to the school to stay with Chu Yue.
It was winter, so it was already dark after school hours. Chu Yue and Kanna left the school together and walked towards the address given by Achill.
When I came to the door of the store, I knocked on the door, and a female voice came from inside: "Please come in." β
I opened the door and walked in, and sure enough, it looked like a bar. A beautiful white woman with blond hair and blue eyes is lying on the bar, and there are all kinds of liquor on the shelves behind it.
"That ......," Chu Yue said, "is it Achill's bar?" β
"Yes!" The beauty looked a little excited, and immediately stood up and said, "You are Chu Yue, right?" β
"Yes." Chu Yue and Kanna walked to the bar and sat down together, and asked, "Are you ...... Big Brother Achill's ......"
βYES!β The beauty smiled and said, "I heard Achill talk about you, little one." There are a lot of deeds in SAO! Moreover, there are two wives! β
"What's the matter...... Chu Yue Khan, what did this guy say to his wife, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Achill?" β
"He's busy in the back." The beauty said, "What does the little one want to drink?" This girl is ...... Your sister? β
"No, that's what it is...... Well, 'my wife' in your mouth. Chu Yue said with a smile.
βWhatοΌοΌβ The beauty took a step back in surprise and said, "In Japan...... Is it possible to marry an elementary school student? β
"Of course not! I'm going to be caught by the police uncle! Chu Yue was amused and said with a smile, "Shen Wu is the same age as me." β
This time, the beauty opened her mouth wide in surprise and was speechless.
Indeed, Kanna looks like a little Lori, saying that she is the same age as Chu Yue, many people think it is incredible.
"Mix a cocktail for me. Kanna is the same. Chu Yue reminded and said.
Achill's wife is really a big beauty, but she didn't expect it to be white. The personality is as enthusiastic and cheerful as Achill.
Chu Yue's words did remind this beauty, but before she could start bartending, Achill walked out of the small door next to her.
"Oh, Chu Yue, you're here." Achill said after seeing Chu Yue.
"Honey, are you done?" The beauty said to Achill.
"Of course. I'll come here, you can go to the back and rest. Achill said to his wife.
"Okay, your friend, it's better for you to entertain." "By the way, he just said to order one of our signature cocktails." β
After speaking, the beauty waved her hand at Chu Yue and Shen Wu, and went to rest behind the door from which Achill came.
"Well, have you met?" Achill walked over and said while taking out a bottle and pouring a glass for Chu Yue.
"I guess I said hello." Chu Yue smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be a big beauty." β
"Hey, hey." Achill smiled and placed the two poured cups in front of Chu Yue and Shen Wu respectively.
Chu Yue picked up the cup and took a sip, then said, "Isn't this juice?" β
"Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol." "Besides, don't you still have a friend with you?" β
"This is Kanna. My wife. Chu Yue said directly.
"What, what?!" Achill immediately held the table with both hands, looked at Kanna, then at Chu Yue, and then said, "You guy...... I'm going to call the police! β
"Hey......" Chu Yue said, "This juice doesn't taste good, either...... Forget it, let's talk about the celebration. β
"Oh...... This is your real-life girlfriend......" Achill calmed down a little and said, "Tsk, I didn't expect it...... I kind of understand why Asuna would accept this child. β
"Ignore me?" Chu Yue said.
"No, no, it's just that your little girlfriend is surprising me too much." Achill said, "How's my cafΓ©?" β
"I'm still used to calling it a tavern." Chu Yue smiled and said, "When are you going to have a celebration?" β
"Half a month later." "The students are fine, but some of the adults are already at work, and they should have time on weekends." β
Because I had to take care of the last 300 people to log out such as Asuka, the celebration was held relatively late. And half a month later, it will be 2025, and everyone should be happier after the New Year.
"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, "How many people have you invited?" β
"A dozen people...... Achill said.
In addition to a few people who have a good relationship with Chu Yue, there are also many friends of Akyll, members of Klein's Wind Forest Volcano, etc.
In fact, this celebration was only held by Chu Yue and other people in a small circle that he was more familiar with. Elsewhere in Japan, there are certainly many survivors celebrating offline.
This celebration was held by Achill, and most of them had already been decided, but Chu Yue was invited to come over and give advice. Chu Yue was very calm and mature when she was in SAO, and Achill was most at ease with Chu Yue.
Half a month later, Achill's store.
"Cheers~!"
The crowd raised their glasses and cheered together.
Adults naturally take alcohol, minors...... Who knows.
More people came than expected. In addition to the people Chu Yue knew, there were also many people who came with people who were also friends in SAO.
However, now, as long as you are a survivor of SAO, you will feel a sense of intimacy.
Even, among them, there is also that Yuki's friend, Chu Yue has only seen Yuki and Kirito at the wedding in SAO, the girl called Xunwei. I don't know if I came here with Yuki, or if I was invited by Achill.
Not very accustomed to this kind of multi-person gathering, Kirito walked to the bar, sighed and said, "Boss, have a Bourbon with ice." β
A cup of brown drink was immediately slid in front of Kirito, who looked at Achill with some suspicion, and then reluctantly picked up the cup and took a sip.
"What, isn't this oolong tea......" Kirito said.
"Achill, bring me a glass of genuine goods." As soon as Kirito finished speaking, Klein sat down next to Kirito and said.
A glass of bourbon with ice was also slipped in front of Achill.
"Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol." Chu Yue walked over with a smile and sat on the other side of Kirito, "Just give me Coke." β
"It's really ......" Hearing Chu Yue say this, Achill couldn't help but say: "Chu Yue, we are here in a bar, there is no coke." β
"No kidding, you said you still have a cafΓ© here." Chu Yue said, "Hurry up and bring me a glass of Coke." β
"Hah......" Kirito said with a breath, "Looks like you're enjoying yourself." β
"It's a celebration, be happy." Chu Yue patted Kirito on the shoulder and said, "Moreover, you are the hero who cleared SAO, and everyone is very grateful to you." β
"What kind of hero are ......" Kirito said with a helpless smile, "It's not because of Chu Yue's agreement with Kayaba Jinghiko......"
"Oh? You know it all? Chu Yue asked with some surprise.
"Guess." Kirito said, "After knowing that you are a colleague of Akihiko Kayaba, combined with what you said to me before clearing the customs that day, I guess you and Akihiko Kayaba had some agreement. β
"Haha, it's not a loss!" Chu Yue slapped Kirito on the back so hard that he almost choked on Kirito.
"What are you talking about...... Klein listened to him with a confused expression.
"It's fine." Chu Yue said, "Klein, what skirt do you think Kiriko looks good on?" β
"Skirts?" Klein was stunned for a moment, but immediately looked at Kirito seriously.
"Perhaps...... A good sailor suit? Aren't you about to go to school? Klein joked.
"Hey, hey......" Kirito didn't know how to complain.
"That's right!" Chu Yue smiled and said, "So this time, I brought ......"
Chu Yue said, lifted a small bag from the ground, and took out the bag containing clothes from it.
"Sailor suit!"
"Wow! I actually brought it here! Klein was immediately surprised.
And Kirito's face darkened, and he immediately snatched the bag from Chu Yue's hand and said, "Chu Yue, you guy, can't you do something serious?" β
"Gee, are you in such a hurry to try it on?" Chu Yue continued to joke.
"Try on a ghost! I'm afraid of being seen by others! Kirito said, looking around, but fortunately, not many people noticed this side.
"No way, who let someone make an agreement with me." Chu Yue said with a smile.
At the beginning, the [Resurrection Cornerstone], Chu Yue lent it to Kirito on the condition that Kirito could not refuse the women's clothes given by Chu Yue.
At first, of course, Kirito didn't agree. However, later, the 'Black Cat Group on a Moonlit Night' was wiped out, and Kirito had to use the [Resurrection Cornerstone] to resurrect Xing, so he agreed to Chu Yue.
It's just that Chu Yue has never mandated Kirito to wear women's clothes, so whether it is in the game or in reality, Kirito just accepted it, but he didn't wear it once.
"Why don't you ......," Chu Yue said, "Kirito, you can put it on this time, right?" β
"Allow me to refuse." Kirito said without hesitation.
"Refuse?" Chu Yue said, "Are you going to break our agreement?" β
"Hmm......" Kirito suddenly pinched the cup, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
At this time, Kirito's good friend Klein said, "Forget it." Fortunately, I'm here, so don't embarrass Master Kirito. β
"I don't think it's better." Akyle, who doesn't talk much behind the bar, said, "I'm interested, but I don't want to give it a negative opinion to our shop." β
"Huh! You don't understand that, Achill! Chu Yue immediately said: "This is a women's clothing boss!" It's absolutely fascinating! β
