Chapter 39: Transactions

November 6, 2022, is a very special day.

Just today, a virtual large-scale online role-playing game called SwordArt Online was officially in open beta. So far, dozens of players have died from this game.

When he returned home, Kiritani Kazuto didn't care about putting his shoes in order, he ran upstairs quickly, and then saw his adoptive mother in the room, as well as Naoba Kiritani, "Mom." ”

"And people, Naoha, she entered that death game!" Looking at Naoba Kiritani, who was sleeping on the bed with her eyes closed, her adoptive mother couldn't hold back her tears anymore, covered her face and leaned on Kiriya Kazuto's shoulder and cried. She didn't understand why the game's creator, Akihiko Kayaba, would do such a self-destructive thing.

At the moment, the outside world is all focused on SAO, and 10,000 players are trapped in it, even if the government wants to suppress it, it is impossible. In the war years when human life was as cheap as dogs, 10,000 people were about to catch up with the number of a division, not to mention that this was a time of peace?

No matter how the outside world fries, Kiritani and the people are now thinking about how to rescue Naoba Kiritani.

There are two methods of rescue, the first is rescue by external means.

Kiritani remembered that Akihiko Kayaba himself had gone to hide in the mountains and forests, and he had no way of knowing where it was. However, there is one person who knows where Akihiko Kayaba is, and that person is Rinko Kamiyo.

However, even if Kazuto Kiritani knew the key person, he had no way to find it. Inform the police? If the police could find Rinko Kamiyo, there would be no need for Kazuto Kiritani to save the world in the original book.

The second way is to enter the game and beat the game.

The only NERvGear in the house was used by Naoba Kiritani, and even if he wanted to, there was no machine available. To borrow those dead players? Regardless of whether it can be borrowed, even if it can be borrowed, there is no way for Kazuto Kiritani to ensure that he can log in to SAO smoothly.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, what about your Kiritani and people's ability to get through the game? You can't get in, and everything is in vain.

Can you just wait for the players inside to clear the game?

In the original work, it was Kiritani and Kiyoto who cleared the customs with Kayaba Akihiko. Now, what will SAO develop into without his involvement?

"No, I have to find someone who can help me log in to SAO, wait, if it's him, maybe it will work." Kazuto Kiritani immediately turned on the computer and searched for information about Shigemura's laboratory, "Found it." ”

Dial the phone, "Hey, is it Coach Nishio, I have a very important matter that I need your help with right now, and it's right at my house, yes, that's right." ”

Hanging up the phone, Kiritani and Ren jotted down the relevant information on a piece of paper, and then went downstairs to wait for Coach Nishio.

"Wait, and people, where do you want to go?"

"Mom, I'll definitely bring Xiao Zhi back safely, I promise." After finishing speaking, Kiritani Kazuto looked at Kiritani Naoba intently, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Zhi, wait for me, I haven't told you I'm sorry yet." ”

With a determined look, Kiritani and Rentou didn't go back to the basement.

After a few minutes, Coach Nishio drove to Kiritani's house, "Kirito, what is the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?" ”

"Let's talk about it in the car, the destination, Kyoto Institute of Technology."

Stepping on the accelerator, the car flew out like an arrow from the string.

"That's the way it is, as long as I can get the help of Professor Shigemura, I will have a chance to log in to SAO." Kazuto Kiritani roughly told Coach Nishio about his plan, and the latter listened, his brows furrowed.

"Kirito, are you mentally prepared? If you fail, your fate could be ...... Death! "For the national kendo competition, Coach Nishio didn't say a word. Even if he knew that without Kazuto Kiritani, a strong player, their school would probably lose.

"I'm confident that I can beat that game of death."

"In that case, then I have no choice but to believe you."

"Thank you, it's not a polite thanks, it's a sincere thanks, really, really thank you."

If Coach Nishio hadn't genuinely wanted to help Kazuto Kiritani, he wouldn't have sent people to Kyoto Institute of Technology; If Coach Nishio had a little selfishness, he would have told his mother about Kazuto Kiritani's plan and left him behind, after all, the opening day of the National Kendo Championship was not far away.

"Don't say such stupid things, I'm waiting to take you to that championship trophy." Coach Nishio stretched out a free hand and hung his fist in the air, "Kirito, you must come back." ”

Gently fist fighting, Kiritani Kazuto swore and replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back." ”

Soon, the two came to Kyoto Institute of Technology.

Through the security room, Kazuto Kiritani successfully telegraphed Professor Kamishigemura.

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I have the ability to save your daughter, Yuna Shigemura."

Taking advantage of Professor Shigemura's love for his daughter, Kazuto Kiritani successfully catches his attention and gets a valuable chance to meet. He was thinking about how he would find the other party if he refused, but fortunately, everything went well.

Arriving at a simple office, Kazuto Kiritani meets Professor Shigemura. Because of the fact that his daughter is trapped in SAO, Professor Shigemura is now sad, and if Akihiko Kayaba is on the scene, he will definitely punish this 'cute' student.

Time is precious now, and every minute wasted will make Naoba Kiritani's situation more dangerous. Therefore, as soon as Kiritani and people met, he went straight to the point and said his intentions without reservation, including how to save his daughter, Yuna Shigemura, after entering SAO.

"Professor Shigemura, I need a chance, a chance to enter SAO."

The same applies to Yuna Shigemura. Therefore, Professor Shigemura had to consider the possibility of what Kazuto Kiritani said.

"I understand what you said, but why should I believe that you have the ability to save Yuna?"

"I've been involved in the closed beta of the SAO, and I've been on a level that other closed beta players haven't reached, and I know a lot more than all players in terms of intelligence." With his hands clasped together, Kiritani Kazuto bowed heavily, "Please, I need a chance, a chance to save my sister who is trapped in SAO!" ”

I don't know if it was the identity of the beta tester who played a role, or if it resonated with each other's sympathy, but in the end, Professor Shigemura agreed to Kiritani's plea and helped him log in to SAO.

After a long day's work, Professor Shigemura finally prepared the relevant materials.

Putting on the NERvGear, Kiritani and Hito lay down.

"Kiritani-kun, whether it's for you or me, we only have one chance." Once you use administrative privileges to help Kazuto Kiritani log in to SAO, his privileges will be frozen by Akihiko Kayaba.

So, for each other, there really is only one chance.

"Are you ready?" Professor Shigemura asked.

"Well, I'm ready."

Hearing this, Professor Shigemura began to operate the computer. After a series of keystrokes, he shouted, "Kiritani, it's now!" ”
