What is an occasional update?

Like now, you wouldn't have thought there was an update today!

Surprised, surprised?

"Why? Didn't you say that Cardinal had no way to take Chu Yue? Asuna asked, looking a little eager.

Asuna, like many players in the strategy group who are struggling on the front line, wants to clear this game as soon as possible. If you have top-level equipment such as the "Vulcan Sword", even the 100th floor boss can be easily defeated.

However, Chu Yue knew that even if Cardinal couldn't sanction himself, there was a higher and highest person in the game of SAO.

That is, Akihiko Kayaba, who is known as the father of NERvGear.

"Asuna, do you remember Akihiko Kayaba?" Chu Yue asked.

"Akihiko Kayaba......" said Asuna, "the murderer of this game of death...... Of course I remember him! ”

"So, where does Asuna think this person is now?" Chu Yue said.

Although, Chu Yue knew that Kayaba Jinghiko was Heathcliff, but this matter was only known because he was a traverser, and there was no basis for saying it, which would make Asuna think too much.

"Where is he now?" Asuna said strangely, "That kind of person, it should be, hiding somewhere, secretly observing us, right?" ”

Chu Yue smiled, but did not speak.

"What's wrong, isn't it?" Asuna asked curiously.

"I've been working with Akihiko Kayaba for about two years." Chu Yue stood up and walked up in the living room, "Although I don't know why he did such a thing, I also clearly know that he must be deeply in love with this world." ”

"Huh?" Asuna was stunned, she didn't expect Chu Yue to say such a thing for Kayaba Jinghiko, as if she was arguing for Kayaba Jinghiko.

"So, I guess......" Chu Yue turned around and looked at Asuna, "He is indeed observing us, but he is not secretly hiding in the shadows, but as a player!" ”

"What?!" Asuna stood up in surprise.

Asuna's reaction was expected by Chu Yue, so Chu Yue smiled and continued to explain: "Like I said, Kayaba Jinghiko is deeply in love with this world, and after creating such a world, if he just secretly hides in the shadows to observe us, it will be too sorry for his 'love'. ”

"What's more......," Chu Yue said, "Some people say, 'There's nothing more boring than watching others play RPGs on the side,' so since it's a game you made yourself, wouldn't it be too much to say if you don't play it yourself?" ”

"But, but...... Chu Yue, you said that the player ......," Asuna said, "Kayaba Akihiko, he ...... Chu Yue, do you mean that Ikeba Jinghiko is lurking around us? ”

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, "It's just that I can't be sure who he is." ”

Listening to Chu Yue's words, Asuna was silent, stretched out her hand to support her head and thought about it, and then said, "No one has ever considered this kind of thing......

"It can be said that Akihiko Aoba is not only a player, but also a GM, and a game developer. So, today's events, he must know. Chu Yue finally talked about today's matter.

"That is......" Asuna said.

"Kayaba Akihiko, I won't allow this sword to continue to exist." Chu Yue explained.

"......" Asuna was silent for a moment, and finally sighed deeply, "That's right, I do think things are too good......"

"I estimate that early tomorrow morning, this prop will be forcibly recycled by the system." Chu Yue smiled and said.

"Really, isn't there anything that can be done?" Asuna asked.

"As long as you're still in this game, you won't be able to defy Akihiko Kayaba." Chu Yue also looked a little helpless.

Asuna nodded, her hands on her hips, and she seemed to regain a little refreshment: "Since that's the case, I don't want to do this." ”

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded.

"However, I have another thing to ask you." Asuna said.

"Huh?" Looking at Asuna's expression, Chu Yue suddenly had a bad premonition.

"You and Miss Sasha, did something happen!" Asuna suddenly became stronger.

"Absolutely not!" Chu Yue immediately denied it.

"Staring—" Asuna stared at Chu Yue.

"There really isn't a ......," Chu Yue said with a smile, "After we defeated the boss of the first layer together, and after helping Sasha together, I never saw her again." ”

"In that case, why do you call each other by name, and you're still supporting her via email?"

"Oh?" Chu Yue suddenly showed a wicked smile: "Asuna, are you jealous?" ”

"Just, no!" Asuna blushed instantly, "I, I just think, Chu Yue, you, you seem to be outside, often messing with flowers and grass......"

"While searching for those missing children that day, Sasha and I met a huge boss." Chu Yue said, "Thanks to the blessing of that boss, our relationship has become very good." Chu Yue said.

"After that, we called each other by their first names." Chu Yue said, "At that time, because I came back early, Sasha left with the children, so you didn't meet her, so you didn't know about it." ”

"As for the support...... Indeed, I have been helping Sasha. Chu Yue said, "However, I don't think this is anything unseemly, it's just that if others know, there will only be more trouble." ”

"I, I didn't blame Chu Yue, you mean to pull ......" Asuna saw Chu Yue explain seriously, and said, "I also think that Chu Yue has always supported Miss Sasha. ”

Chu Yue smiled and nodded: "When she left, she told me that she wanted to protect the children who were still very young in this game, and at that time, I felt that since this matter was encountered by me, then I couldn't stand idly by." ”

"It was ...... so early," Asuna said, "Then Chu Yue, why didn't you tell me earlier, in this case, I can also do my part." ”

"At that time, we had just met for a short time, and we didn't know each other very well." Chu Yue said, "We often fight on the front line, so we don't know about the situation in the town of Initiation. Even the equipment and items that we've eliminated are of great use to them. ”

"Hmm." Asuna nodded, looking a little embarrassed and said, "Chu Yue, you're right...... I'm ashamed......"

"Asuna don't be ashamed." Chu Yue walked up to Asuna, grabbed Asuna's hand and said, "For the sake of all the gamers now, Lord Asuna, the strongest guild vice president who commands the entire strategy group on the front line, is admired by many people and inspires everyone in the strategy group!" ”

Grabbed by Chu Yue and praised her, Asuna smiled, "You say that, I suddenly want to go back to the front again." ”

"Then ...... Let's go back. Chu Yue also said with a smile.

"......" was silent for a while, and Asuna sighed and said, "Such days are really coming to an end." ”

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, "It's time to end it too." ”

"That's right." Asuna said, "We'll report back to Gransam tomorrow." ”

"Hmm."

After speaking, Asuna looked at Chu Yue in front of her and couldn't help but bury her head in Chu Yue's chest.

It was late at night.

Asuna still slept in the master bedroom with Yui, and Chu Yue slept alone in the guest bedroom.

It was already late at night, but Chu Yue suddenly opened his eyes.

After quietly getting out of bed, Chu Yue opened the door, walked to the door of the master bedroom, and listened closely to the door.

In the master bedroom, Asuna and Yui both slept well and breathed steadily.

After being relieved, Chu Yue walked lightly onto the balcony.

Scratch through the system inventory, and the Vulcan Sword is still lying in the inventory.

Chu Yue closed the prop fence again, and then said to the dark forest in front of her, "Come out, you've been hiding for a long time, right?" ”

The forest was silent, without a sound.

Chu Yue smiled, grabbed the guardrail of the balcony, jumped out, and then said, "Captain Heathcliff, or rather, Kayaba Jinghiko, I have already guessed that it is you, come out, don't hide." ”

In the darkness of the woods, a figure in white armor stepped out of nowhere.

"Sure enough, you shouldn't have left Chu Yue in this world in the first place." Heathcliff, or rather, Kayaba Jinghiko, looked at Chu Yue a little helplessly.

"You're really there......" Chu Yue had a surprised expression.

Kayaba Jinghiko choked suddenly, and said in his heart that you bastard boy were blinded by me!

"I just guessed, I didn't expect to guess correctly." Chu Yue saw that Kayaba Jinghiko was deflated, and her heart was a lot happier.

Knowing that Chu Yue was not a fuel-efficient lamp, Akihiko Kayaba thought he was unlucky, waved his hand, and said, "When did you recognize me?" ”

"After our duel, I had some suspicions." Chu Yue said, "Later, when Asuna and I went to you to apply for a temporary departure from the group, there was a bit of a loophole in what you said, right?" ”

"Sure enough, because Chu Yue, you brought me too many surprises, so I was exposed when I spoke." Heathcliff said.

"It's not completely exposed, I'm just guessing, I just cheated you, but I didn't expect it to be really cheated." Chu Yue said.

"Since you guessed that I was here, then you must know why I came, right?" Heathcliff said.

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, slashed the prop column, and took out the Sword of the Fire God: "You're here to get this, right?" ”

"That's right." Heathcliff nodded.

"I thought you'd delete this item directly from the admin platform." Chu Yue said, "Why did you come here in person?" ”

"It's just a prop, so I don't need to activate the admin platform." "I also try not to influence the world through GM. ”

"That's nice, you haven't set up a system protection for yourself that won't make your health bar yellow." Chu Yue said, "Now you want to go back to the Vulcan Sword like this?" ”

"That doesn't belong to you in the first place, does it?" Heathcliff felt that there seemed to be a sense of uncooperation in Chu Yue's tone.

"How don't you belong to me!" Chu Yue said, "I got this with my ability, why should I give it to you!" ”

"If it weren't for the fact that you logged in with an administrator account, you would have been deleted by Cardinal a long time ago." "But," Heathcliff said, "Nothing ...... Alas, this was also my mistake. ”

"yes!" Chu Yue smiled and waved the Vulcan Sword a few times, "Then I'll ...... this weapon"

"But!" Heathcliff interrupted Chu Yue and said, "Chu Yue, you have gained a lot of benefits by taking advantage of your familiarity with SAO as a developer!" I've been turning a blind eye to you for a long time, do you want me to take care of everything you've ever done? ”

"Hey, you, make it clear!" Chu Yue said, "I have indeed achieved a lot of benefits as a game developer, but that is all within the scope of the game!" I've been deprived of my admin privileges, and I can't do anything outside the system at all! ”

"What about Yui?" Heathcliff said immediately.

"Uh...... This ...... "Chu Yue Khan."

The appearance of Yui, this is indeed beyond the normal scope of the game.

"If you give me back the Vulcan Sword, I'll be out of the question of what happened to Yui." Heathcliff said.

"Oh?"

"Not only that, but as a reward for discovering my identity, I can grant you a request that is within the limits of the game." "Well," said Heathcliff, "in that case, I can be considered to have a clear reward and punishment." ”

"Okay." To Heathcliff's surprise, Chu Yue readily agreed.

"Give it back to you." Chu Yue directly threw the Vulcan Sword to Heathcliff.

The Vulcan sword spun around in the air a few times, and finally Hizcliff reached out and grabbed the hilt.

"......" called up the item attributes and looked at it, it was indeed the sword of the god of fire, but Chu Yue's unexpected refreshment made Kayaba Jingyan feel that he had been cheated again......

"You're wondering why I returned it to you so quickly, right?" Chu Yue smiled and said, "Kayaba Jinghiko, don't forget, we have also worked together for two years, what do you think, I don't know?" ”

Kayaba Akihiko was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.

"What a hero...... Old, old......"

With Chu Yue's intelligence, of course, he could guess Akihiko Kayaba's thoughts.

Even if Chu Yue insisted on not giving Kayaba Jinghiko this weapon, Kayaba Jinghiko would forcibly recycle it, but Yui, Kayaba Jinghiko really wouldn't touch her.

The reason is simple: even Akihiko Aoba doesn't know how Yui appeared on the twenty-second floor. Akihiko Kayaba is also interested in Yui's future development, or "evolution".

In other words, Chu Yue gave Kayaba Jingyan a "wish" in vain.

That's why Chu Yue returned the Sword of the Fire God to Kayaba Jingyan so happily.

"So......" Aoba Jinghiko finally understood Chu Yue's calculation and said, "Chu Yue, you are here to ask me for this 'reward'?" ”

Kayaba Jingyan said that after giving Chu Yue a reward, Chu Yue returned the Vulcan Sword to him, so Chu Yue's purpose was this "reward" from the beginning?

"It's almost ......" Chu Yue said, slashing open the system bar and taking out the weapon from the inventory column, "Head Hizcliff, turn off your system protection and come and fight me for real." ”

"Oh?" Heathcliff was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your request is not just a fight, is it?" ”

"Of course." Chu Yue said, "If I win, let this game end, how about it?" ”

"I see...... Kayaba Akihiko understood, shook his head and said, "But, no. ”

Chu Yue was stunned, this was unexpected. Because in the "Sword Art Online" anime, after Kirito guessed Hizcliffe's identity, Hizcliffe's reward to Kirito's is like this.

After Heathcliff turned off the system protection, Chu Yue had a great deal of confidence to defeat Heathcliff, and because of her recent relationship with Asuna, Chu Yue wanted to go back to see Kanna as soon as possible, and by the way, she introduced Kanna to Asuna.

Thinking of Asuna's reaction after seeing Kanna, Chu Yue was extremely looking forward to it.

But Akihiko Aoba refused this product?

"If it's an ordinary player, such a reward is understandable." Kayaba Jinghiko said, "But, Chu Yue, your understanding of this world is second only to me, and you have found so many rewards, and even made your own sword skills, in such a situation, do you think I will agree?" ”

"That's right......" Chu Yue miscalculated, and shrugged helplessly, "However, I have no other wishes other than to go back to the real world as soon as possible, what should I do?" ”

"......" looked at Chu Yue, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then Kayaba Jinghiko said, "If you can still find a player who can defeat me, I will promise you to let SAO clear the customs in advance, how about it?" ”

"It's nice to say, if you open the system protection, who can beat you." Chu Yue said.

"When you find such a player, I'll turn off the system protection and fight him." Akihiko Kayaba said, "How's it going? That's all right, right? ”

"Absolutely." Chu Yue smiled and said, "But, Kayaba, you wouldn't be a little underestimating the players in this game, right?" ”

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with these 10,000 people." Kayaba Jinghiko said, "If you can really find such a person Chu Yue, I will be very happy." ”

"Okay, so be it." Chu Yue slashed through the system and put the sword in the inventory, "However, I still have one condition. ”

"Tell me about it."

"After a duel, you can't kill that player, not just that player, you can't kill any player in a duel." Chu Yue said.

"Of course, since it's a reward, of course it won't make people die." Akihiko Kayaba said, "However, on the other hand, you must continue to keep my identity a secret." ”

"Don't worry." Chu Yue said, "Asuna has known too much about the things behind this game recently, and I will help you keep it secret...... It's also kind of, protecting Asuna. ”

"That's it...... Goodbye, Chu Yue. After speaking, Kayaba Jinghiko turned around and walked a few steps, and disappeared into the dark forest again.

Then the question is: apart from Chu Yue, is there anyone else who can defeat Kizuhiko Kayaba?

In the normal context of the game, there are none.

What are Kiyohiko's strengths in SAO? Is it the advantage of the rank? Or is it the mastery of the game's technology?

No, Akihiko Kayaba's biggest advantage in SAO is his understanding of the game and the world of SAO.

No matter what sword skills are used at 0 or what combat methods are used, as long as they are still in the world of SAO, Akihiko Kayaba, as the head of the game, will be invincible.

Even Kirito failed to defeat Akihiko Kayaba in the end.

In the end, it was Asuna who broke out when Asuna died, and Kiritto burst out, which was beyond the scope of the game, and was a powerful soul.

Then, if you want to defeat Akihiko Kayaba, you still need Kirito.

If you want to stimulate Kirito to erupt, the general method will not work, and you still have to rely on death - Yuki's death.

This is also the reason why Chu Yue put forward the condition that Kayaba Jinghiko is not allowed to kill any player.

Although if it succeeds, Yuki and Kiritto will not die, but the plot has been changed by Chu Yue to the current appearance, in case Kirita doesn't succeed, wouldn't it have to take the lives of Kirita and Yuki?

Therefore, Chu Yue was prepared for defeat in advance.

Of course, Chu Yue, who has traveled through so many worlds, knows that under the influence of the plot of the original book, Kirito will hardly fail.

November 7, 2017, Ayn Grant, 55th Floor, Gransam, Blood Pact Headquarters.

"Welcome back to the group." Sitting in the position of the head of the regiment, Heathcliff still said to Chu Yue and Asuna calmly as usual.

"Hmm." Asuna nodded.

"Besides, Chu Yue ......," Heatscliff said, "really not considering joining our Blood Alliance?" ”

"If you can promise me to keep me free after I join the Blood Pact, I'll join." Chu Yue said with a smile.

"That's not good, even Deputy Head Asuna has his own tasks assigned in the Blood Alliance." "The fact that the Blood Alliance is as strong as it is now is also the result of strict enforcement of the rules. ”

"However, it's okay to still let Chu Yue follow me as a foreign aid, right?" Asuna said.

"Of course." Heathcliff smiled, "With such a powerful foreign aid as Chu Yue, we can't have too many foreign aids. ”

The other Blood Alliance leaders next to Heathcliff also smiled and nodded.

In the past, when Chu Yue helped Asuna, it made the high-level leaders of the Blood Alliance happy, and now it seems that Chu Yue is going to work for the Blood Alliance again.

"However, I also have conditions." Chu Yue said, "Can you change Asuna to a bigger dormitory?" There are three of us to live in. ”

Chu Yue's words made the people of the Blood Alliance stunned for a moment.

Then, except for Heathcliff, the remaining high-ranking members of the Blood Alliance stood up together and shouted to Chu Yue, "What did you say?!" You bastard have ...... with the deputy head of the regiment! ”

"yes, yes." Chu Yue smiled proudly and said to these people, "The children are all there." ”

Asuna blushed and quickly explained, "No, it's not like that......"

"Wow!! O my goddess Asuna!! "A man fell to his knees and pounded the floor.

"Damn! In the end, outsiders got their hands on it!! "A man grabs his face.

"The goddess really chose this bastard in the end!! I hate it! "A man hit the wall next to him......

"I'm not alive!!" and thought that his brother ran out of the office in tears......

Only Hizcliffe, who was not attracted to Asuna, was still sitting there, just looking at Chu Yue and Asuna with embarrassment.

"Ahem...... Let's make you laugh. Heathcliff said embarrassedly and helplessly, "I'll arrange it, it's hard work......"

"Captain! The only goddess of our guild has been taken away!! Another crazy grabbed Akihiko Kayaba's clothes and shook them......

This, these guys...... Asuna said inwardly, speechless.
