I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

Then they will find that their threshold has increased, and the entertainment of the past can no longer give them a thrill, a sense of accomplishment, and happiness.

I felt like I was going through a drug withdrawal, my heart was itchy and I felt completely uncomfortable.

ten minutes.

They began to miss the heart-pounding thrill of dancing on a knife's edge.

twenty minutes.

They recalled the happiness, the satisfaction, and the supreme sense of accomplishment they felt when they stormed the police station, obtained firearms, and united to kill the monster for the first time.

Half an hour...

One by one, they silently got up, returned to their rooms, knelt down with a thud, and prayed to the gods and Buddhas, starting to piece together the pile of VR glasses wreckage.

"Amaterasu, Dainichi Nyorai, Amitabha, God bless me, Machine Soul... no, Father, reignite it for me!!"

Obviously, in most cases, equipment damaged by someone in a state of dementia is beyond saving.

I had no choice but to buy the equipment that was being dumped in China for 10,000 yen each...

Mmm, it smells so good!

After the release of FGO Chapter 1.0, the number of players skyrocketed.

Even without advertising or paying a single penny for promotion, players will find it hard to resist the temptation to scam their friends.

With such a surge in the number of players, some mid-to-low-end devices from various countries have completely run out of stock.

All that remained were countless people in China working overtime, working feverishly to meet the deadline.

It doesn't matter if it's mid-to-low end; we can just sell it cheaper and capture the market first.

With the economy working overtime, it looks like it's about to surge again, even though the growth rate was already slowing down.

This isn't a one-off deal. Given the game's difficulty, there will definitely be many who smash their devices in the future. But this unique, real-world experience will ensure they'll come back.

Being able to hold on for three days is a testament to strong willpower.

This isn't just about the gaming industry; it's the arrival of a new era for the entire world.

This is a change unprecedented in ten thousand years.

It's not just them.

Most players share this intuition.

Moreover, its scale is already close to exceeding 100 million, and it has quickly begun to be organized.

A large number of players form sections and communities that discuss everything about the game.

From how to hide and escape, to maps and routes, to the city's dozen or so districts, the streets in each district, and the surrounding buildings and facilities such as hospitals, police stations, supermarkets, and shopping malls where you can get medicine, drinking water, weapons, and bulletproof vests.

Then comes the integration of information about the world.

"Player" is just a name; a doctor can be a player, a worker can be a player, a programmer can be a player, a teacher can be a player...

Everyone uses their expertise to acquire trustworthy information, and this information integration is even more extensive than that of special departments in various countries.

For example, skilled craftsmen and engineers have already created thermal imaging devices and written programs to automatically identify the body temperature and appearance of the Sword Demon.

It can penetrate walls to scan the location and number of monsters inside a building, making it an excellent tool for alerting enemies.

Their team also created an automated laser turret that can identify the Sword Demon and attack autonomously in 360 degrees.

Of course, it's useless; its power isn't even enough to tickle the Sword Demon.

However, it's ineffective against the Sword Demon, but it's deadly enough to injure a human.

Yes.

In just one day and one night, different organizations and teams have emerged within the game.

Preparations for future resource competition have already begun.

If we can't beat the Sword Demon and the Giant Warrior (Dragon Tooth Soldier), how can we not beat you?

This organization, which calls itself Steins;Gate, is just one of many that has quickly emerged.

Apart from this big team.

Martial artists who came upon hearing the news initially disdained to use firearms, each acting as a lone wolf.

I entered the game wanting to experience real combat with monsters.

And then... that was it.

Even if some of them were top-tier martial artists who could kill the Sword Demon with their bare hands, it was of no use.

There are approximately three million sword demons (black death demons) in the entire city. There are probably three to five in any single detached house, and they will come from three sides to attack.

Even with the skills of a martial artist, one would need at least 1.5 times the speed of the Sword Demon to fight against him.

LOL, they're human, okay? They only managed to keep up with the Sword Demon's speed through skill.

After being brutally defeated one by one, they all learned their lesson, formed small teams, and understood what it means for unity to be strong and what it means for a gun to be fast and accurate within seven steps.

After joining forces, they quickly rose to become one of the top teams in the F213 cross-section world.

Rumors have it that more than twenty sword demons have already perished at their hands.

As for the Colossus?

Forget it, that thing is from a completely different dimension.

The military even used at least a ton of TNT, but still couldn't kill the giant.

These mythical creatures are completely out of place in a mythological world, like they wandered onto the wrong set...

And this martial arts team has also been named Kengan.

In addition, a team composed of university students from all over the world majoring in geology, astronomy, biology, urban planning, and other fields is called the "Brewing Company" and is quite famous.

I heard they're not very strong; most of them are clerical workers or research institutions.

The study has yielded a wealth of useful information.

For example, if the city is named Fuyuki, what are some of the local nobility, such as Matou, Hachiban, and Tosaka?

For example, the destruction of this world occurred approximately two years before reality. The starry sky is indistinguishable from reality, and the coordinates can be determined to be Earth.

The difference in time flow is roughly equivalent to one day in the game being eight hours in reality, or six years after the world was destroyed.

More classified information, such as information related to the Holy Grail War, is naturally available as paid content.

Yes!

The trading of game information and game items has now developed.

They even established a dedicated trading website.

Game items are divided into in-game tradeable goods and real-world traded game items.

Clearly, the key is the items that can be traded in the real world.

Every item that can be taken out of the game is related to the extraordinary.

Currently, there are mainly three types: magical items (magical costumes), magical crystals (magical gems), and extraordinary magic.

The number is extremely small; anyone with a sound mind knows what that means.

A single red magic gem, which appeared sporadically on a trading forum, fetched a staggering eight million US dollars, and the price continues to rise.

Of course, the seller quickly realized something was wrong and deleted the account and ran away.

However, players on the forum who realized the problem estimated that he wouldn't be able to escape.

The moment the post was published online, it was probably locked onto by intelligence agencies from various countries; it remains to be seen who will succeed.

......

"So, this thing is worth at least eight million US dollars?"

Tokyo.

Inside a luxury hotel.

The short-haired beauty looked at the half-finished mysterious ancient book in her hand and gasped.

It might even be far more than that.

It's obvious that things like energy mines are worth eight million US dollars, so her extraordinary technical manuals are worth at least ten times that amount.

Faced with such a huge sum of money, even she, the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, felt a little breathless.

Although her family, Yukinoshita, is a prominent noble family in Chiba.

but......

Let's not even talk about the giants among the zaibatsu like the Shinomiya and Suzuki families.

Compared to the Toyokawa zaibatsu, the Yukinoshita family is nothing more than a nouveau riche from the countryside.

Moreover, even disregarding their status, the mere 80 million US dollars is equivalent to more than half of their family's cash flow.

With this funding, and taking advantage of the current trend of Chinese people investing in Tokyo real estate, she is confident that she can expand Yukinoshita's business to Tokyo.

but......

She's an idiot for trying to make money with this stuff!

"So the problem now is that woman..."

Thinking of that vixen, Yang Nai's good mood instantly soured.

Before making her move, she never imagined that someone who looked like a hot woman would be so wary.

She is also stronger in hand-to-hand combat than before she started playing games, and she is clearly more skilled with guns.

It is quite frightening.

If she were to find the other person now, she would be confident that she could kill him on the spot.

After all, monsters don't just appear out of nowhere in reality.

But if this drags on, and that woman learns the magic book's secrets, dealing with her won't be so easy anymore...

"After practicing martial arts, I've become a bit arrogant."

Yang sighed softly and reflected on his actions.

During this period, with her encounter with the unparalleled opportunity of gaming, her strength skyrocketed.

For her, who grew up under the care of a strong mother, the real sense of self-power and genuine self-control was simply too intoxicating.

As her spiritual practice deepened, she felt that the people on the roadside were as fragile as glass, and her mindset inevitably became frivolous.

That's why the situation is now out of control...

However, Yang Nai always had a good attitude and quickly put it aside.

"Forget it, Xiao Yang is a genius among geniuses anyway, there's no way he could progress slower than her, and besides, there's still..."

Thinking of a certain amusing person, Yang Nai idly played with her soft hair, analyzing herself.

As the heir to Yukinoshita's family, she should immediately bind herself to that cunning liar who's been hiding so well, for the sake of the Yukinoshita family's development.

Even if she had to beg, she should have begged to come back to him.

So why can't we take action?

She took out her phone, found the number, and tried to press the button, but her slender fingers felt like they were filled with lead, and she couldn't press it no matter what she did.

five minutes later.

"what--!"
