Am I the only one streaming Sword Art Online on the entire internet?

177. I, Suolin, did not use any cheat codes!

This NERvGear is actually quite similar to a PC. After using it to infiltrate the virtual world, Mo Yulan first saw a virtual Steam store. He searched for the game ALfheim Online and then looked directly at the green icons below.

"Let me see, the standard edition and the gold edition. The gold edition has two more DLCs, a custom outfit, and a 30-day booster. It's also 25% off and costs 218 RMB. It looks pretty good."

As Mo Yulan said this, he used his PayPal account to swipe his card and saw that a new game had appeared in his library. The game was quite large, but to his surprise, Steam showed it as "downloaded," which made him feel a little strange.

"What's going on? I don't quite understand." Solin muttered to himself, when he suddenly noticed that a small angel had appeared on his shoulder. It was roughly the size of a can of cola, like Ivy Xin's appearance in SAO shrunk down to the same size as Ivy Xin.

“Dad, this game uses a backup of the SAO server. Previously, when players played SAO, a download was added in the background, which is why it's showing as installed now,” Aiweixin explained. Noticing Mo Yulan's expression of “Damn, I should have just gotten it for free,” she added, “However, you still can't play ALO without purchasing it.”

"This anti-free-rider mechanism is really thorough. If you ask me, after going through so much trouble to fight my way out of SAO, wouldn't it be better to get some compensation?" Mo Yulan complained, then clicked to log in to the game anyway. Countless colorful cylinders still rushed towards his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he was already on the character creation page.

When creating a character in this game, you first choose a race, then customize your appearance, choose a class, and finally name yourself. Mo Yulan reviewed the specialties and characteristics of the nine selectable races—Wind Elf, Water Elf, Fire Elf, Earth Elf, Dark Elf, Cat Demon, Guardian Elf, Music Elf, and Little Demon—and then began her explanations.

"So we can rule out the Music Sprite and the Little Fairy, as their specialties are more life-oriented. At most, the Music Sprite might be similar to a buff-type character like Yuna. Now let's look at the higher-level characters. We don't have a support character right now, so playing a semi-support character should be more suitable. Here, we'll choose a Water Sprite."

He clicked on the water sprite option, and when creating the character's face, he clicked on All Random again. After all, he had no intention of recreating his face, which was a bit awkward to describe as stunningly beautiful but was definitely a good fit.

"The class design in this game is quite traditional, similar to the old WoW. Oh, I suddenly thought of something, does this game really encourage PvP?" Mo Yulan first introduced the class system, then suddenly realized that this was no longer the death game where PvP was completely synonymous with killing. He chuckled and unhesitatingly chose [Wizard] as his class, and when naming his character, he also named himself [SorinTSRMarkov].

[Is Uncle Su about to go on a killing spree?]

This is a name that terrifies League of Legends players.

[Newbie seeking expert explanation of what TSR means]

Three-season rice, which happened to be a type of rice that was also grown in that year...

"OK, this is the character. Let's go, brothers!" Mo Yulan said, clicking the "Enter Game" option. Then everything went black, as if he was about to be teleported. However, when his vision returned, he realized that he was probably not in a newbie village.

It was more like a wilderness map. This was a vast forest, with endless rows of towering trees, not a single light in sight. Suolin (now Suolin – Li Muxin) intended to open the map to check the current situation, but when he opened the menu, he found that his character information seemed a little off – or rather, very familiar.

Level 70, HP 12430, MP 25362, Strength 4396, Dexterity 3154, and his skill bar contains a full eleven max-level weapon specialization skills. His inventory, however, is filled with a bunch of text that has completely turned into gibberish, along with the last pile of weapons that accompanied Sorin through SAO.

"There's such a thing?" Solin exclaimed in surprise. "This account is practically graduated, right?"

“As I just said, Dad, ALO uses SAO’s backup server, so your previous data should still be there normally,” Ivy explained again. “However, things that don’t exist in this game now naturally don’t exist, so your [Weapon Master] skill should also be gone.”

Upon hearing Aivisin's words, Sorin quickly checked and discovered that he indeed lacked his greatest guarantee of survival in SAO—Weapon Mastery and Kaleidoscope. Of course, he still had some extras, such as the Water Sprite's unique talent spells and some ice magic skills in the [Magic] slot.

"What a loss. I should have played a fire elemental. Arcane Fire Mage is so much more powerful than Frost Mage." Solin muttered to himself in frustration for a moment, then continued his explanation, "Of course, Frost Mage is much stronger than Arcane Fire Mage in PvP. I just checked, and besides the Water Elemental's healing spells, it has all the usual skills like Frostbolt, Blizzard, Ice Block, and Ice Block. Now all I need to do is study the game's PvP system. Anyway, this account is already max level, so I can just go straight to battlegrounds."

[The bugged account is alright]

[It's confirmed that Mr. Su is cheating!]

【I, Suolin, did not cheat! I did not cheat!】

"Let's put Grandpa Lu aside for now. To be honest, I don't really care whether Grandpa Lu used cheats or not back then, but he really didn't die because of cheating." Seeing these comments that were referencing Wu Wukai, Suolin suddenly said with some emotion, "Let's not talk about that for now. I think it's a bug that this game has me stuck here. Now I need to figure out how to get back to the starting village or find the Water Sprite's main city."

“Dad, Yuna… Mom seems to be here.” Ivy Xin suddenly whispered in Solin’s ear.

"That's normal. I think if it's Yuna, she wouldn't be stuck in the shadows of the past, so it's perfectly normal for her to play this game. I'll just add her ID later and see if she's there." Solin said this, when suddenly he heard a whooshing sound. He looked up and saw that an ace aerial battle was taking place above him, with two wind sprites flying in front and four fire sprites in hot pursuit.

"So let's take a look at the game's flight system, then go up and see what we can do, like build a bridge or something."

178. You can call me Three-Season Rice (Bonus Chapter 54/75)

Actually, if Solin were to try and break up the fight right now, it would be a very troublesome situation, or rather, the margin for error would be very low. Although he currently has a max-level account, only his weapon level is appropriate; his equipment is a set of armor called "Water Sprite Beginner," which is basically starting gear. Even with 12,000 HP, he could still be instantly killed by those four fire sprites if caught off guard.

“Let’s double-check here… We can log out, which means it’s not some death game. Now let’s review the spell incantations and then go up and join this raid.” Sorin opened the magic interface, then took out the flight assist joystick from his backpack and adjusted it slightly. “The flight mode is similar to the joystick controls in games like War Thunder, so I’m fairly familiar with it. The spell incantations here are in Greek. I studied Greek with Teacher Zhu for a while before, and I can still remember some of it.”

[What the hell did I learn Greek from Teacher Zhu?]

[Professor Zhu's major in university was Classics, so it's normal for him to know Greek. It's more surprising that Professor Mo, who has a background in chemistry, would go and learn Greek.]

I just want to know if there's anything that Uncle Su can't do.

[Reply to the person upstairs: Having a baby]

"Please stop while I'm giving birth... The car is going a bit too fast, I have a baby here."

Solin grumbled to himself as he manipulated the joystick, slowly lifting himself from the ground. He then pushed forward to the maximum, soaring into the sky. At this moment, the battle in the sky had changed from a chase to an encounter. Realizing that escape was hopeless, the two wind spirits chose to fight the four fire spirits on the spot. The two sides were engaged in a fierce battle with flashing swords.

"Leafia, what do we do now?" One of the wind spirits seemed to be low on health after two waves of attacks. He retreated and asked nervously. The wind spirit floating beside him was a girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. She didn't answer immediately, but silently tightened her grip on her sword.

Just then, she suddenly noticed a target approaching at high speed not far away. Upon closer inspection, she discovered it was a water sprite dressed in beginner's gear.

"This shouldn't be the water spirit's territory, right? And it's just a newbie..." Leafa thought to herself, then called out towards Sorin, "Newbie over there! Don't come any closer! It's dangerous here!"

"Interesting, seems to be a very kind child." Solin said, then entered a very professional state, cast a magic shield on himself on the spot, and continued to explain, "When mages fight, they should try not to get close to the enemy. Although we have the ability to fight hand-to-hand, we should try to focus on ranged kiting tactics. However, if my equipment is up to par, I might choose to flash in and then follow up with Frost Nova or something."

As he spoke, he charged towards the four fire spirits from the other side. The four fire spirits noticed the water spirit dressed in newbie gear, but didn't pay it much attention.

"Newbie over there! Don't come any closer!" The male wind elf next to Leafa shouted anxiously at Sorin, but in that moment he was slashed by another fire elf, and his health immediately dropped to the dangerous 20.

"Regan! Watch out!" Leafa cried out anxiously as she saw her companion in danger. But what she saw next was another strange sight—Sorin, after getting close to the spell's attack range, suddenly stopped and then cast an Frostbolt at the last possible distance, predictively hitting one of the fire spirits.

“After we hit them with Frostbolt, we can continue to stand still and deal damage. We don’t need to get any closer to them.” Sorin said, and then began to cast the next area-of-effect spell – Blizzard. “I’m telling you, this Blizzard will hit them at least three times. These guys are terrible at positioning.”

It wasn't really a matter of poor positioning. Sorin's blizzard was positioned very strategically, right next to the fire spirits and wedged between them and the wind spirits. If the fire spirits wanted to escape the blizzard's range, they either had to turn around and leave, abandoning the pursuit, or they had to brave the blizzard and chase the wind spirits. Of course, they also had another option: temporarily abandon the two wind spirits and charge straight at Sorin.

“We see that the target who was hit by Frostbolt is the slowest. Let’s let him go for now.” Thorin looked at the four fire elves charging towards him, still calm and collected. He calmly cast Frostbolt on the spot and hit the fire elf warrior in front. Even though the Frostbolt debuff was on him, it instantly depleted his health bar, turning him into a ball of soul fire.

"Holy crap? My damage is that high?" Solin was extremely surprised by his damage output. He had originally thought that without equipment that increased magic damage, his damage wouldn't be very high, and he might have to kite for a long time to kill someone. But after understanding his output, his playstyle changed a lot.

He instantly teleported to the remaining three fire sprites, freezing them with a Frost Nova, then created some distance and followed up with an Ice Spike to knock them all down. Finally, he executed the classic "three-man" style cleanup, dismounting, using Arcane Explosion, and riding away. Although there were no horses present, the overall feeling was similar.

Leafa and Regan, standing to the side, were dumbfounded as they watched the battle, which was almost one-sided. Leafa, in particular, had never seen a mage cast spells in such a fluid manner.

“Um… sir, thank you for your help.” Leafa walked up to Sorin and bowed slightly. “These four guys have been chasing us for a long time, and they are very difficult to deal with. You are really a very capable person.”

"No, no... just routine operation." Solin said modestly, then acted a little and continued with feigned enthusiasm, "Well then, the road ahead might be a bit dangerous, so how about I take you back to the main city?"

“No need, sir. We can go back on our own without these enemies.” Leafa shook her head, declining Solin’s offer. “Speaking of which, what’s your name? I don’t think there’s anyone like you among the high-level players of the Water Spirits.”

"I said I'd send you back to the main city, so I have to keep my word," Thorin said, then flew to the two of them. His pre-cast instant Frost Nova hit them directly, followed by a Cone of Ice followed by Blizzard, and finally, a Frostbolt that calmly turned Leafa and Regan, the two unfortunate wind elves, into two balls of soul fire.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. You can call me Sanjidao (Three-Season Rice)."

Chapter 179: Driving (Bonus Chapter 55/75)

WDNMD, what a tribute to India!

[This is the real Mr. Suo, who goes on a rampage in the Dark Zone and becomes a gold-name player in less than a minute.]

[Thinking about it carefully, back then, Brother Three could only kill members of the League, but Uncle Sue could kill a lot more people like this.]

"Next, I'll probably go to the Water Elf's main city to shop around and get a decent set of battlefield gear so I can play in the battlefield every day." Sorin was quite satisfied with taking down six people. He clapped his hands and calmly opened the map. "So our landing location seems to be in the center of the entire map. We just need to fly in one direction to reach the Water Elf's main city, but the flight time is limited, which is a bit annoying."

However, in the remaining three-plus hours of the livestream, Thorin still hadn't reached the Water Elf's capital city. Or rather, after running for an hour without seeing a glimpse of the capital city, he focused on killing low-level characters of different races along the way. He encountered many low-level players of other races along the way, each time landing with an Arcane Explosion and disappearing in one swift motion, leaving no one unscathed.

That same evening, on the official forums of the game ALO, many players posted the ID 【SorinTSRMarkov】, which had become a nightmare for all races except Water Elves, condemning this high-level Water Elf mage player dressed in beginner gear for indiscriminately killing low-level characters.

However, this was just the beginning. Later, many CN players, after recognizing Solin's ID, flooded the forum with the phrase "For the Horde," sparking a fierce war of words between the two sides regarding Solin's indiscriminate killing of low-level accounts. One side argued that using a high-level account to "bully" low-level accounts was unfair, while the other side naturally believed that since the game supported PvP, killing low-level accounts of the opposing faction was not wrong. This war of words lasted for almost four hours, finally ending with an official blue post announcement and a large-scale ban.

Of course, the blue post announcement was also very fair or official, basically saying that such behavior is allowed in ALO, and if you are unhappy, you can team up to kill him, etc.

Of course, none of this concerned Suolin anymore. Seeing that it was time to go, he quickly ended the broadcast, leaving a group of viewers bewildered in the black screen of the live stream, and then spamming low-brow comments like, "So-called enlightenment is creating a low-brow feeling of everyone being glued to the screen in a black screen live stream."

Mo Yulan took off his helmet, sat up in bed, and found Ai Weixin lying beside him, staring at him intently. He smiled helplessly, ruffled Ai Weixin's hair, and then jumped off the bed.

"Get dressed and pack your things, get ready to leave." He ran to the mirror and combed his hair a little, then picked up a hair tie and tied his long hair at the back of his head into a low ponytail. He turned to Aiweixin and said, "Come here and let me comb your hair. Also, check the road conditions from Anfa Bridge to Taiping Airport."

Ivy rubbed her eyes, stood up, and somewhat awkwardly put on the Dr. Ziegler cosplay outfit, tucked the small pistol into her waistband, and then took the angel's staff in her hand.

“The road conditions from Anfa Bridge to Taiping Airport are good, with no traffic jams. Dad, do you need navigation in a bit?” She stood in front of the mirror, watching Mo Yulan, who looked more like her older sister than her father, carefully combing her hair. Suddenly, she felt very warm. “But I feel a little uncomfortable without wings.”

"You'll get used to it. Humans are creatures that are used to eliminating those who are different. This is for your own good." Mo Yulan smiled and spent some time combing Ai Weixin's hair to make it look much better. Then she took out a black hair clip and put it on her head. "We don't need navigation. Let's save some memory. If I don't even know how to get to the airport, I've really wasted all these years living in Ice City."

He checked his suitcase; a NERvGear, a deck case, two deck books, and two sets of his own clothes were all inside, nothing was missing.

"Take these two, you'll need them before boarding the plane." Mo Yulan handed her passport and ID card to Ai Weixin. Seeing Ai Weixin nod seriously and then about to put them in front of her chest, she quickly stopped her. "Never mind, I'll hold them for you. I should probably teach you some common sense about life another day."

It's quite strange, but ever since Mo Yulan officially received his little angel, he's become more and more like a reliable father. He looked at himself in the mirror, still wearing a white shirt with a white and blue patterned casual jacket, a snowflake-shaped logo on his chest, and a delicate silver earring shaped like a lily of the valley on his right ear.

After checking twice in the mirror, Mo Yulan opened the door and led Ai Weixin to the underground parking lot of the residential complex. He had been driving this AE86 for two years. Although it didn't seem particularly high-end in 2022, it still felt quite good to drive.

"seat belt."

Mo Yulan pointed to the seatbelt on Ai Weixin's right side. Ai Weixin nodded in understanding and hurriedly pulled down the seatbelt and fastened it. He turned the key, skillfully started the engine, shifted gears, and drove out of the underground parking lot.

Indeed, as Ai Weixin said, there weren't many cars going to the airport around 4:30 PM, so his drive was very easy. However, Mo Yulan has a very good driving habit: he never talks while driving. Of course, Wen Dizibo, I, and I guessed that Senior Mo was such a bad driver that he didn't dare to get distracted.

(Back in the day, Senior Mo once took me to play PUBG. He crashed his motorcycle six times in one night. When I asked him about it, his usual reply was, "Don't ask, it's just drunk driving." —Author's note)

Aiweixin didn't bother Moyulan on the way. She quietly played on her phone, but she seemed really bored. Before long, she leaned back and dozed off.

Half an hour later, Mo Yulan parked the car in a parking lot near Taiping Airport. Then, seeing Ai Weixin fast asleep in her seat, she opened the car door and carried her out in a princess carry. Ai Weixin wasn't too heavy. The suitcase plus Ai Weixin only weighed about 100 pounds, and after removing the heavy suitcase, Ai Weixin's weight was just over 70 pounds.

"I'm suddenly starting to wonder what that guy used to create such a little angel." Mo Yulan's thoughts suddenly drifted far away. He looked eastward, as if he could see You Na there.

"I miss you, Yuna. Wait for me a little longer, I'll come to you soon."

Chapter 180: The Hardcore Customers of the Maid Cafe (Bonus Chapter 56/75)

Let's rewind a little, to a week ago, the day Mo Yulan finished conquering Sword Art Online and returned to reality. In fact, on that island nation across the ocean, the headlines that day weren't even about the SAO victory, but rather the explosion and shooting that occurred in a residential area of ​​Chiba. Of course, aside from the relatives and friends of the SAO survivors, people were more concerned about the explosion and shooting that occurred nearby and caused casualties.

"This bombing and shooting incident resulted in one death and greatly threatened the security of the Chiba area. The Metropolitan Police Department will make every effort to bring the perpetrators to justice as soon as possible. That concludes this episode's report."

"Bullshit! They don't even mention the huge thing my son did—saving over seven thousand people—and they keep harping on about this trivial matter. That's all the Japanese government is capable of." Mo Tianfang angrily pressed the remote, turning off the TV. "Speaking of which, I'm not leaving because I'm waiting for my son. What's going on with you three?"

“A trip, huh? Gustave hasn’t been to Tokyo that many times, so I’ll take him sightseeing.” Grace leaned back on the sofa, looking somewhat languid. “As for him…”

“Glaz said he was coming to see his son, so I have to wait for him first.” Surat pointed at Mo Tianfang and explained, “Why would he want to see me? I’ve never been to Tokyo before. I was thinking of picking up a local girl after the mission is over.”

"...Is this why you're not calling it a day after the mission is over...?" Mo Tianfang looked at the three people in front of him speechlessly, then shook his head. "Forget it, I'm going to prepare a gift for my son. Do whatever you want."

As he spoke, he left the room that had once served as the command center for the SAO rescue operation and stepped onto the street. Of course, the gift he referred to wasn't what one would typically think of; it was something else entirely—an armor set that came with the system. The squad Mo Tianfang had served in was among the first to implement this combat system. The system was used to assist in firing and activate the armor, while the armor was a specially designed combat suit, also known as the classified equipment set.

This combat system was originally designed by the U.S. Homeland Strategy Bureau for their agents, allowing them to live among the civilian population in what appeared to be civilian uniforms and be ready to engage in combat immediately in critical moments. After acquiring this technology through unknown means, China immediately established a similar covert rapid reaction force domestically, the name of which remains a mystery. In fact, this set of classified equipment was not something Mo Tianfang could obtain; the person who truly brought out this "Raider" system was Liu Ziyang, who was also the highest-ranking officer of this unit in the entire Northeast region.

"Let me see these coordinates... OK." Mo Tianfang walked to the door of a maid café, opened it, and went inside. This maid café usually catered to young otaku or similar customers; they had never seen a hardcore customer like Mo Tianfang before.
