Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 636 Seizai: I Became Famous Overnight Again?

The special monsters on the border of Shangri-La are different from other monsters; they cannot revive or regenerate. Once they are defeated, they will not appear again.

With the gravedigger Vezaremon out of the picture, Kirito can only hope that Seiya and the others will take him along when they conquer the other strongest races.

He also realized that his unlucky fate was unchangeable, and if he continued to go his own way, his dream of becoming a professional gamer would probably be a long way off.

If his best friend is incredibly lucky, then he can just cling to his best friend's leg and follow behind to get some scraps, right?
There are many players in Shangri-La Border, and the game has been around for quite some time now.

However, the number of players who can trigger the unique storyline is extremely small.

Kirito had never even heard of a situation like Seiya, who had only been playing the game for less than half a month and had already triggered three unique storylines, and even managed to romance one of them.

If Kirito had been in the team that previously defeated the Gravekeeper Vezhaemon, he would have become famous in the virtual game world long ago after that server-wide announcement.

Let alone becoming a professional gamer, even the largest gaming guilds would be fighting over him!

"I'll call you next time we go on a unique monster hunt... No, he doesn't think unique monsters are as common as cabbages, does he?"
And to tell you the truth, we were able to win over the gravedigger Vezha'emon partly because of good luck, and partly because we had a rich woman sponsoring us; otherwise, we might have been completely wiped out.

Seiya wanted to show off his Versailles trip to his best friend, but he underestimated Kirito's obsession with unique monsters.

So after he reluctantly gave him a perfunctory reply, Kirito finally stopped bothering him.

While having dinner, Seiya was stunned when he saw in the news that the unique monster in "Shangri-La Border" had been defeated.

"It's just defeating a unique monster on the border of Shangri-La. Isn't this a bit of an overreaction?"

Sitting to the side, Suguha helped Seiya serve rice while also watching the news on TV and sighed, "It seems that Seiya-nii still doesn't realize the current status of the game 'Shangri-La Border'."

Japan has a total population of just over 100 million, which includes many elderly people and children.

However, according to statistics, the number of registered players in "Shangri-La Border" has already reached as many as 3000 million.

In an era where virtual games are mainstream, "Shangri-La Border" can be considered a phenomenon.

Among the 3000 million players, Seiya and the others were among the first to conquer the unique monsters, so calling you superstars now is no exaggeration.

Seiya knew that the game "Shangri-La Border" was very popular, but it was only after Suguha said this that Seiya belatedly realized just how popular Kaori had become.

To put it simply, SAO, as the first large-scale virtual reality RPG game, only had 10,000 players online.

However, the current population of Shangri-La border is 30 million, a difference of three thousand times. In fact, almost 80% of the young people in this country have had some contact with Shangri-La.

In other words, when the game server announced it, Seiya and his friends truly became famous instantly.

"So, does that mean we're quite famous now?"

Seiya never expected that playing a game and fighting monsters would turn him into a superstar.

You know, he had previously participated in the BoB tournament in GGO and even won the championship, but back then his fame was only known to a small group of gamers. "It's more than just fame; as the first player to clear a unique monster in the Shangri-La border, Brother Seiya, you guys are practically super idols now."

If their identities were revealed, brands would probably be lining up to hire them as spokespeople.

He Ren's brother regretted it all night, saying that if he had just put his name on the list, his relationship with Xing Jie would have been a natural progression.

"What about our dojo? Since my character ID is so famous, has no one come to ask for lessons lately?"

Seiya still couldn't forget about the dojo's recruitment, after all, it was one of his original reasons for playing in the Shangri-La border region!
However, facing Seiya's expectant and excited expression, Suguha silently picked up her phone, opened the search function, and after searching for a while, handed the phone to Seiya.

"Dozens of new sword dojos across the country appeared overnight."

Besides the swordsmanship dojo, there were also dojos for Wenren's fist fighting and archery, and so on.

Seiya snatched Suguha's phone and looked at the search results; his face darkened.

"What the hell is this?! Is this even possible? Isn't it illegal for them to do this?"

After glancing at the search results online, Seiya exclaimed, "Good heavens! He worked himself to the bone to run a server-wide ad campaign, and all the rewards were snatched up by someone else, huh?"
"There are all sorts of dojos in Japan, and those famous dojos would never stoop to doing this kind of thing."

However, many small dojos whose main purpose is to make a profit do not care about these things.

Furthermore, what makes Seiya-nii famous is his game character ID, not his personal image, so there is no such thing as naming rights..."

Meanwhile, in the terminal management room of Utopia Company, a game developer company in Shangri-La Borderlands.

Because one of the seven strongest species, the gravedigger Vezaremon, has been captured, the company's three top executives—the genius creator Kujiri Sousei, the executive producer Tenchi Tsuki, and the publicity manager Yoruichi Mokuto—have all gathered here.

The main reason the three of them gathered here was that the gravedigger Vezaemon was defeated, which disrupted their original game progress.

As the seven most prestigious and strongest species in the "Shangri-La Border", these unique monsters not only have a level of 200, but also possess rather outrageous mechanics and settings.

According to their original estimates, in order for players in Xiangkai to conquer the unique monsters, most players would need to reach the maximum level of 200.

However, most players are only level 99, and haven't even broken through the level 100 barrier yet, and the unique monsters have already been defeated, which has completely disrupted their plans and strategies.

"That's why I said long ago that you made the difficulty of the unique monsters too low. You should have set it according to my settings from the beginning."

Following the creation of Kuri, a chestnut-haired beauty wearing a green tracksuit, looking somewhat sloppy, but with a rather pretty face.

As the founder and genius creator of Utopia Corporation, Shangri-La's worldview and unique monsters were all created and designed by her.

However, due to an excessive focus on world-building, it is easy to create games that disregard game balance and are too difficult for anyone to conquer.
