Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

Win-win, a win-win situation!!!

"I know you all feel that what we're doing is taking away the fun from the game," Tsugumi suddenly changed the subject and said.

"No, absolutely not!"

"We'd love for you to play for us the whole time!"

"Let the AI ​​complete this game!"

Many players denied it, saying they couldn't wait for the AI ​​to help them beat the game so they could return to reality!

But Tsugumi said this—

"Although I would very much like to use our company's technology to help you solve this problem directly, unfortunately it is not possible. Due to technical limitations, or rather, due to the despicable and evil Kayaba Akihiko, our AI will cause some technical problems if it becomes too active."

Next came some difficult technical terms, which left everyone present dizzy and confused, except for one sentence.

It's all Kayaba Akihiko's fault!

"Our AI will dedicate itself to helping players, providing excellent service and a great gaming experience, but in the end—"

"Our friends, you are the true heroes," Tsurugi said, pointing at them.

Soon, news of this strange and unusual strategy meeting spread like wildfire.

Most of the players, still in the starting town, soon witnessed a truly spectacular scene.

Thousands of identical AI script robots entered the town, standing in neat rows like an army at the city entrance. Whenever someone approached to inquire, they would quote the price of the service.

Soon, the first person to try it appeared.

He first recorded a video for his family through the script robot and sent it out. Soon, he not only received Cole from his family using real money exchanged at VOX Technology, but also received text messages from his family.

Upon seeing the messages of encouragement and support from his parents and sister in the text message, the dejected young man burst into tears. Then, wiping away his tears, he unhesitatingly signed up for VOX Club's two-on-one boosting service.

They left the town and embarked on a safe and painless journey of leveling up by grinding monsters.

Once one example was set, many people quickly followed suit, and even just sending the video to real-life relatives and friends was a considerable business.

For those who don't have money in real life, VOX Technology even thoughtfully provides loan services...

Regardless, players who have tried the power leveling service almost unanimously gave it excellent reviews!

These skill levels are perfectly balanced, and the assistance from the bots is excellent as it doesn't diminish their experience. They can adjust all modes to suit your needs.

In the pure boosting mode, you can enjoy the experience of grinding monsters even if you just stand still and throw a few stones. In the escort mode, the monsters will leave the final blow to you. In the companion mode, you can master the game skills under the protection of these incredibly reliable bodyguards.

The highly intelligent AI processing mode captivated the first batch of players, and after using up their Cole, many of them chose to go out on their own with the upgraded attributes and experience to farm other monsters and take on quests to earn Cole independently.

Hire an AI to level up your character, then safely farm money once you're at a high level—it's a win-win situation!

This money could even be exchanged for real-world currency, and players who actually made a lot of money from it raised their hands and loudly praised VOX Technology!

Realizing this, almost all players quickly became active, and soon, almost all players were passively transformed into gold farmers!

Use Cole to buy power leveling services → Use the levels gained through power leveling to farm Cole → Use the farmed Cole to buy real-world currency → Use the remaining currency to buy Cole → Use Cole to buy more power leveling services.

An economic cycle system based on real and virtual games was thus established.

Furthermore, with many people signing livestreaming contracts and starting to stream within the game, as Tsurugi predicted, the game's livestreaming popularity is unparalleled worldwide. In every country and on every platform, as long as it's not banned, it's absolutely number one!

Moreover, it's indeed difficult for them to ban them. As long as Dongjiang plays the righteous card of "seeking benefits for trapped players," most platforms don't want to be criticized.

As a result, Dongjiang gained substantial profits and attention, along with praise for being a socially responsible entrepreneur, which to some extent redeemed his previously terrible reputation. And of course, his generosity also allowed the players who chose to stream to earn a considerable amount of money.

In short, the huge SAO has somehow transformed from a fantasy game about swords and heroes into a place for grinding and a game for live-streaming antics.

Will anyone complain? That's natural, but for most players who are afraid of dying, afraid of losing their soul and memories, this mode is perfectly acceptable.

In any case, outside of the game they are just going to work; inside the game, it's just a different way of killing monsters and putting on a show for people.

it's the same!

In short, everything is moving in a promising and thriving direction.

However, in reality, some people face far less pleasant scenarios.

“There is absolutely no way we would sell our shares to a robber like you! Especially not a foreigner like you. Get out of my office and go back to your country!”

Three days prior, when facing the VOX Group's acquisition offer and Tsugumi's visit, Kenichiro Kamishiro, the chairman of ARGUS, spoke arrogantly from the back of his office.

"Please, Lord Tsugumi, have mercy! Only you can save us!"

Three days later, when he was imprisoned, his company and he himself were being investigated and prosecuted, his stock price plummeted, and his company was on the verge of collapse, the middle-aged Kenichiro Kamishiro made these words while bowing in front of Tsugumi.

Tsugumi looked at the person kneeling on the floor across from her desk, head almost touching the ground. After Kasumigaoka Utaha fed her a grape, she gently massaged Kasumigaoka's black-stockinged legs amidst her shy expression, while casually saying...

"Mr. Kamishiro, Mr. Kamishiro, what have I done to make you disrespect me like this?"

"You rejected my kindness when you didn't need my help, but begged me for help when you did."

"Tell me, where in the world can you find something so cheap?"

Having transmigrated, my only purpose is to kill, kill, kill! : 27. Unrefusable conditions, enhanced powers

Three days ago, Kenichiro Kamishiro was full of vigor and felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Before the age of forty-seven, he thought of himself as an ordinary person, but after the age of forty-seven, with the addition of the genius scientist Kayaba Akihiko to his company, his life and future took off!

ARGUS is not a large company; while it's not small, it's not particularly big either. Although it's an electronics manufacturer, it primarily undertakes less lucrative electronics manufacturing work.

There's nothing we can do about it; Japan has been stagnant in the field of electronics for far too long. Due to many vested interests, even if electronic technology could be developed, its use would be prohibited for various reasons.

Who would believe that in 2020, the Japanese government is still using 3.5-inch floppy disks for office work?

In any case, Kayaba Akihiko's arrival brought about earth-shattering changes to Kenichiro Kamishiro's life!

The virtual reality technology he spearheaded made Kenichiro Kamishiro feel as if something from a science fiction novel had come to life. Having lived a mediocre life for half his life, he decided to take a gamble. With Kamishiro's full support, Kayaba Akihiko quickly produced results.

So, after several years, and with Kenichiro Kamishiro having already sold his house, Akihiko Kayaba finally released his work.

The world was shaken.

The world was shocked and agitated by the sudden realization of virtual reality technology, and Kenichiro Kamishiro and his ARGUS company, the publisher of virtual reality technology, became the focus of global attention!

The world's attention is focused here!

And with fame comes endless benefits; fame and fortune are twins.

Countless funds were injected into his company, bringing him immeasurable wealth. Countless banquet invitations and meetings with important figures that were once out of reach piled up in front of him.

After turning fifty, Kenichiro Kamishiro reached the pinnacle of his life.

In the business and political circles, countless people flattered him, and many important figures treated him with great kindness.

These people, of course, came with a purpose.

They are using their company's technology, or rather, their current position, to suppress another company.

For example—VOX Technology, the company whose spotlight and attention were stolen by them.

Kenichiro Kamishiro accepted this completely, and having already become arrogant amidst the countless accolades and praises of fame and fortune, he had long forgotten how to be rational.

So when the foreigner Tsurugi, the owner of VOX Technology, visited to discuss the acquisition of shares, he was extremely impolite.

Or rather, it's making outrageous statements, or even insults.

Perhaps it was the supporters behind him who gave him the courage, making him believe that with so many big names in the political and business world supporting him, he wouldn't dare to do anything even if he offended this guy.

So he humiliated Tsugumi, humiliating this notorious foreign capitalist in Japan.

But to his surprise, Tsurugi did not retaliate against him. Instead, he said meaningfully that he would soon be kneeling on the ground begging for his mercy.

At first, he thought it was just the bitter words of a loser, but now...

Kenichiro Kamishiro is at his wit's end.

Who could have predicted that Kayaba Akihiko would suddenly go mad?

Having invented virtual reality technology, Kayaba Akihiko's future can be described as incredibly bright. Even though he is Japanese, his achievements are enough to make him a figure who will be remembered in history and become a figure who can rival or even surpass Einstein!

Whether as a scientist or as a person, he had obtained everything he could, and an incomparably brilliant future was unfolding before his eyes. Who could have imagined that he would destroy it all himself!

The imprisonment and kidnapping of 10,000 players caused a sudden reversal in public opinion. The media, which had previously been praising virtual reality technology, suddenly turned against it and began attacking the technology from all sides, accusing it of being threatening and ARGUS of irresponsibility.

VOX Technology, in particular, acted as if it were prophetic, releasing a list of many political and business figures who supported ARGUS the moment the incident occurred, including extremely detailed audio and video recordings of their interactions.

So, whether in politics or business, those who were calling him brother not long ago have all turned their backs on him and are eager to kick him while he's down to get rid of him.

His house was auctioned off, his company was seized, and the prosecutor's office has summoned him. He will probably be imprisoned tomorrow!

Upon regaining his senses, Kenichiro Kamishiro realized with horror that none of the people he knew would or could help him; they all just wanted to stay far away from this filth.

If this continues, he will lose everything: his company, his money, and the safety of his family.

He might not even survive in prison, as his case involves far too many people, and the information released by VOX Technology has completely cut off his path to survival.

In his terror, Kenichiro Kamishiro even contemplated suicide, but in the end, he thought of Tsugumi.

He had every reason to suspect that all of this was a conspiracy by Tsurugi, but whether it was or not was no longer important.

Regardless of whether he did it or not, only he has the potential to save his own life.

So he came here, and as Tsurugi said, knelt on the ground and begged for his mercy.

Tsugumi waved to Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing next to her, and then Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Tsugumi with a resentful expression before pouting and leaving the room. Tsugumi then looked Tsugumi up and down for a while before picking up the heavy lucky cat figurine next to her and stroking it.

“Mr. Kamishiro, if you had come to me as a friend, I would have protected you. You would have gotten the best outcome, but you chose to be my enemy.”

Tsugumi's words made him tremble. He looked up, and the young man's face, though not very old, was half-shadowed, but the aura he exuded made him tremble.

"I...I...I still have some hidden money..."

"You still don't understand. I don't judge friendships by money... People help me, so I help others."

Tsuruga crouched down, patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear...

“Mr. Kamishiro, do me a favor, and I promise to protect you.”

"You will be sent to a top-security prison. Life there won't be luxurious, but it will be comfortable. At least there, you can live a relatively comfortable retirement."

"And I will also give your wife and children enough money to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. I can also assure you that I will send them to a place where no one will disturb them, so that they can spend the rest of their lives in peace."

Kenichiro Kamishiro's body trembled even more violently. He knew that with such favorable conditions, the favor he would be needed for would certainly be substantial.

But he had no choice!
