Looking at Zhao Wu's game panel, Erya was also stunned. He saw that the panel was empty, with only four big words left in the middle.

No such person found.

The two of them seemed to be still. After a while, they looked at each other and said in unison: "No such person?!"

Zhao Si (brother) didn't enter the game?

Chapter 485 Whatever you wish for will come true?

"Click——"

The heavy stone door slowly opened, and in the pitch-black space, the sound of footsteps approached from afar. Not long after, Zhao Si stood in front of the stone door, looking at the entrance to the maze before him.

Instead of entering the maze immediately, Zhao Si stood there as if waiting for something. During this time, he recalled the information he had obtained from his previous conversation with the Dark Lord.

The first question Zhao Si was most concerned about was, is this Aincrad?

The answer is no. According to the Dark Lord, Aincrad has been suspended high in the sky since its birth, isolated from the world. No one in this world can reach that mysterious floating city through normal means.

As soon as he heard the answer, Zhao Si knew that he had sent it.

Regardless of whether this was a bug or some hidden content prepared by the authorities, it was completely meaningless to Zhao Si. After all, his purpose was to play games with Erya. Now that they couldn't even meet each other, what was the point of playing games?

After answering Zhao Si's question, the Dark Lord did not stop. Perhaps he assumed that Zhao Si would not refuse to be his agent. This seemingly high-end BOSS was very considerate and continued to tell Zhao Si some matters related to Aincrad.

However, what he didn't know was that while he was talking, Zhao Si was actually considering whether to quit the game and start over with a new account...

Of course, it is obviously impossible to change the account and restart. The game terminal seems to be that as long as the game is confirmed and the character is created, there is no such thing as changing the account. As long as the game is opened, it will always be the archive file created at the beginning.

Although Zhao Si ignored the Dark Lord's arguing, he did not actually miss a thing he said. Because of this, Zhao Si obtained another piece of useful information, which made him give up the idea of ​​quitting the game.

"Speaking of which, your appearance certainly surprised me a bit, but if I think about it carefully, for two interconnected regions, this isn't impossible."

"The realm we are in is called 'False Hell'. It is a place that is different from Aincrad in every way, yet closely connected to it."

As the Dark Lord spoke, Zhao Si listened attentively to what he said. After the Dark Lord finished explaining, Zhao Si finally understood the relationship between Aincrad and the false hell.

In short, if we compare it with real-life examples, the relationship between the false hell and Aincrad can perhaps be compared to the relationship between the human world and the underworld.

Of course, a world constructed entirely of data and programs has a hammer of hell. Zhao Si guessed that the so-called hell is actually the inner data world of Aincrad.

Just as the Dark Lord said, the Unreal Hell has a hundred floors just like Aincrad, and the bosses guarding each floor are actually the clone projections of the floor lords of the corresponding floors.

Once someone starts a floor trial (a boss battle), their existence will be captured and copied by Aincrad to test those who take the trial.

Not only the Floor Master, but the entire false hell is actually like this. However, compared to the Floor Master, most other existences are in a state of being captured by Aincrad at all times. Basically, if the projection dies, it will be regenerated immediately.

Wow, after hearing this, Zhao Si finally understood. It turns out that these things are source codes.

So I really just wandered into the data world of this game?

Although he recognized his situation, Zhao Si didn't know what to say for a moment.

But to be honest, if such a major bug occurred in other games, it would basically be doomed. But for the game Sword Art Online, to be honest, its internal database is actually presented in this kind of game world format, which really surprised Zhao Si.

So, when the technical staff of this game fix bugs, do they put on VR equipment and enter this world to fix them?

The way to practice is to use repair tools and ready-made weapons to eliminate bug monsters?

Emmm, it seems that this is possible, and it seems quite interesting.

Of course, for Zhao Si, his top priority is to find a way back to Aincrad.

Since everything in this world has materialized into a form of existence similar to the game world, it stands to reason that since he can come in, he should also be able to go back.

I just don't know how this loophole that led him from Aincrad to the false hell exists in this world.

Maybe it's a road, or maybe it's something, or maybe it's someone. In short, what Zhao Si has to do is to find it.

"Sir...my lord..."

Zhao Si was just thinking about it when a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard from inside the stone gate. A cultist hurriedly caught up with Zhao Si and looked at him nervously.

In the end, Zhao Si did not accept the Dark Lord's conditions to become his agent. After learning the information he wanted to know, Zhao Si immediately prepared to leave.

Perhaps out of fear of Zhao Si's strength, the Dark Lord was a little unhappy about being rejected, but he did not dare to stop Zhao Si.

Yes, that’s right, the Dark Lord, a level 75 BOSS was afraid of Zhao Si. Zhao Si himself was surprised at first. He was just a level 1 newbie, so what was there to be afraid of?

Then, when Zhao Si opened his character panel again and took a closer look, well, that's how it was. It turned out that he had only seen the "1" before, but ignored the two zeros that followed it.

Oh, I'm at the maximum level, so it's okay.

Perhaps it was because there were never too many bugs, but Zhao Si left the Dark Lord's territory openly and came to the maze area in front of him.

False Hell is essentially a mirror image of Aincrad. Aside from the absence of players and various neutral and friendly NPCs, it's essentially identical to Aincrad. Because of this, the labyrinth area, including the boss room, naturally exists.

"You should remember where the teleportation array to other floors is. Lead the way." Zhao Si said.

Logically speaking, if you want to find a way back to Aincrad, the most direct way should be to look for it at the place where you first landed.

However, Zhao Si searched the Dark Lord's territory and found nothing. That shabby place was completely dark except for the Dark Lord.

Obviously, this loophole does not mean that it will appear wherever Zhao Si appears. It is very likely not fixed, or, considering the current situation, this loophole has long become something unknown.

If this is really the case, then Zhao Si has no other choice. After all, it is okay in the short term, because Zhao Si has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, the system has been upgraded as usual before, and is now dormant, so Zhao Si now has so much free time.

Once the system upgrade is completed, the next trial mission will probably begin. By then, Zhao Si will not have so much time to continue looking for loopholes.

Honestly, if I hadn't agreed to Erya, Zhao Si would have slipped away long ago. How could he still be spoiled by you?

And if it was really as Zhao Si had imagined before, that the technicians had to wear VR equipment to enter this world to repair the game bug, then Zhao Si would definitely have a good talk with him.

What's going on, little brother? I heard you've tested it twice, how could this problem still occur?

However, the prerequisite is that you can really meet him.

"Okay, okay, sir, please follow me..."

The cultist spoke with a stutter, then walked towards the maze first.

Behind him, Zhao Si had just started to follow the cultists' lead when...

Ding! System upgrade and maintenance completed!

"Oh no..."

Zhao Si paused, his face showing a look of surprise.

No way, what do you think?

Chapter 486 Mission, Change, and Battlefield

It is now three days after the public beta of Sword Art Online.

In the Taoist temple, many figures gathered together. The girls all looked at Zhao Si who was standing in the middle of the crowd, and Zhao Si was saying something.

After a while...

"Well, that's roughly the situation. So is there anything you don't understand?" Zhao Si said, looking around at everyone.

Zhao Si was surrounded by people who had come as representatives, except for a few chosen ones who came as representatives because of the huge base number. Basically, all the other people who could make their own decisions were called by Zhao Si.

The main reason for this was the news that came with the system upgrade. Zhao Si was informed of three things after the upgrade.

First, regarding the time when the next trial mission will start and the content of the trial.

Second, the changes and new information after the system upgrade.

Third, information related to the battlefield world.

First of all, let's talk about the trial mission. This trial mission was different from the previous ones. The system had already told Zhao Si the relevant information and tasks of the trial mission before he even entered the trial world.

Normally this was a good thing. Knowing the trial world and the mission contents in advance, Zhao Si could also gather information and prepare in advance, but...

Trial Mission: Explore the New World

Trial World: The Sixth Reorganized World (Currently known component world: Sword Art Online)

The rekindled world fire burned many world origins that had long been broken and dried up. A brand new world was born and reconstructed in the flames. The remaining world records in different origins revived and reappeared one after another, colliding and merging in this brand new world to create different sparks.

Mission related, based on currently known intelligence, the main line of this mission is as follows:

Main Mission 1: If you are a man, go to the 100th floor!

Although this is a game, it is no joke.

A genius and a madman, the famous game producer and scientist Akihiko Kayaba resolutely locked tens of thousands of players in the game in order to realize the perfect world in his mind.

This is a game where you can really die. Want to escape? Then learn the game strategy!

Mission requirements: Clear the 100th floor of Aincrad as quickly as possible while ensuring as many people survive as possible. (The number of survivors and the time it takes to clear the level may affect the final evaluation and rewards.)

Main Mission 2: Exploration

The reconstructed world has many mysteries and secrets. Explore and discover, that's what you have to do.

Mission requirements: Find more information about the sixth reorganization world.

Side quest: Waiting to be triggered.

To be honest, after reading the trial mission, Zhao Si didn’t know what to say.

It turned out that my next trial mission was related to this crappy game that Erya had me play? Did I enter the world of the trial mission early by coincidence?

Then, leaving aside the tasks for now, the second thing is the changes after the system upgrade.

To be honest, this matter is quite troublesome. Zhao Si still finds it a little unbelievable after reading it.

Zhao Si's own understanding of the information included with this system upgrade was that he had previously used VIP channels when traveling through time.

Yes, according to the system, so-called time travelers are generally divided into three categories.

The first type is those who were reborn into other worlds due to accidents. For most of these beings, their existence is completely connected to the world and they can be regarded as half-locals, so their behavior is not subject to too many restrictions.

The second type is all beings who travel to other worlds for some purpose or interest. Generally speaking, before these beings cross over, the world has already negotiated a price with them, stipulating everything they can do. As long as they stay within the rules, there won't be any major problems.

The third category excludes the existence of the above two situations. Each world has its own set of ways to deal with this kind of existence, so I won't go into details here.

Zhao Si's situation should logically be the second category, an ordinary traverser who travels to other worlds with a certain purpose, that is, a mission. And those world-level negotiations were all handled for him by the system in the past.

Then the interesting thing happened. As the master of the system, when the system negotiated with those worlds, it basically proposed any conditions that were beneficial to Zhao Si, without caring whether those worlds agreed or not.

Things like the right to maximum interference and the right to free action.

Generally speaking, if any other existence dared to bring this up, I guess none of those worlds would pay any attention to them, because they have the final say on whether the door should be opened or not.

But until now, basically all the conditions offered by the system have been agreed to by the worlds that Zhao Si has traveled through. Even the battle world that was on the verge of collapse at the time did not have any bottlenecks at the time, except for the fear that Zhao Si would open the channel connecting to Gensokyo casually and cause the space to be unstable.

So, regarding the VIP channel and so on, Zhao Si thought about it carefully and found that it was really the case. At least compared with other time travelers, he was definitely experiencing genuine VIP treatment.

As for why those worlds are giving so much face, to be honest, the system doesn’t know either. Anyway, this is the situation, and even if Zhao Si is curious, there is nothing he can do.

However, the above situation is unlikely to exist in the future. According to the information brought by the system, Zhao Si will probably be the same as other travelers in future time travels.

The reason for this is not that you have encountered a world that does not agree to your conditions, but that there are managers in higher realms who have made clear regulations regarding this kind of time travel and do not allow the exchange of conditions of unequal value.

In other words, in future time travels, Zhao Si's actions will inevitably be subject to certain restrictions, and in terms of missions, Zhao Si will no longer be able to choose whether to accept or not, but will now have to complete the mission.

Regarding this situation, even though Zhao Si had thousands of thoughts in his mind, in the end he could only sigh helplessly and accept this change.

What if I don't accept it? There's a higher authority above the world. Are you kidding me?

In addition to the above news, the system upgrade also added a "Legion System" and a "Mercenary System". Zhao Si has not yet looked at the specific functions, but he can guess some of them just by looking at the names.

Well, it's worth mentioning that as the system advances, the upper limit of target information it can explore has also increased significantly. Well, the standard for being called a big shot has been raised, which is commendable.

The remaining third thing is what Zhao Si thinks is the most critical thing at the moment.

For the description of the third point, the system only gave this paragraph, which fully demonstrated the meaning of "the fewer words, the bigger the matter."

The battlefield world will reopen in seven days, with a time limit of five years and the difficulty adjusted to level five. Please be prepared.

The battlefield world that has always made Zhao Si curious is finally about to open, and soon, in just one week.

And it was precisely because of the opening of the battlefield world that Zhao Si gathered everyone together.

Although he really wanted to go to the battlefield world in person, there was no way. The trial mission seemed to have a higher priority than the battlefield world. Zhao Si had to complete this trial mission first.

Before Zhao Si completes his mission, matters related to the battlefield world will have to be left to others.

But after hearing what Zhao Si said, he was somewhat surprised by everyone's reaction.

When they heard about the Battleworld opening, they didn't seem... nervous at all?

"Hmph, don't worry. Putting aside other things, when it comes to our understanding of the battlefield world and battlefield patterns, we are better than you." Fujibayashi Xing said with a snort.

"Ah, the battlefield world is finally open. Although life is good now, I always feel that the battlefield world is more exciting." The children's representative, Aihara Enju also said so. The little guy clenched his fists with an excited look on his face.
