This day happened to be a school holiday.
After the last transaction with Kikuoka Seijiro, Luo Zhen went to a temporary school specially set up by the country, became a high school student, and enrolled in it.
Not only Kirito was traveling with him, but also Asuna, Liz, and Silica, all of whom entered this school as SAO survivors.
In other words, Luo Zhen entered the temporary school with everyone for almost a year.
The same is true in the adventurous days in the new ALO. Many things have changed. It may be an exaggeration to say that things have changed and people have changed, but due to the popularization of full stealth technology, many things are indeed changing.
Today, due to the holiday, Luo Zhen has made an appointment with everyone to open up a new training ground map in the new ALO. Unless there is an accident, except for eating, drinking and having sex, he will probably not be offline for the whole day.
Unfortunately, before that, Luo Zhen received a call.
"How about we meet?"
Some flattering sounds came from the mobile phone, which made Luo Zhen, who was awakened by the ringtone of the mobile phone and just got out of bed, very unhappy.
Luo Zhen even said so.
"... Do you want to die once and see?"
The unexpectedly cold words seemed to make the other party swallow a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.
Being scared because of a high school student's words should be a very embarrassing thing for the other person's status.
However, at this moment, the other party not only did not feel embarrassed, but also quickly begged for mercy.
"Let me treat you to dinner! The best Western restaurant in Tokyo!"
This was very tiring, and made Luo Zhen's mood improve a lot.
"There's no need to eat. If you have anything to say, please hurry up." Luo Zhen said rather unhappily: "Obviously, there are more and more crimes related to virtual space recently. As a national agent of the virtual class, you can invite me when you have time. While I’m eating, I might as well think about how to punish criminals.”
The caller was none other than Seijiro Kikuoka.
Since coming into contact with Luo Zhen, Kikuoka Seijiro has become the intermediary between Luo Zhen and the country, specifically speaking for both parties.
Kikuoka Seijiro was entrusted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to receive Luo Zhen and talk to Luo Zhen on behalf of the country, conduct various transactions and work, and frequently interact with Luo Zhen.
After a year of interaction, the two of them have come to understand each other to a certain extent, and they also share their knowledge in business.
For example, Luo Zhen often inquired about some information through Kikuoka Seijiro, and even opened up some connections to achieve his various goals.
The same is true for Kikuoka Seijiro. He has learned Luo Zhen's skills a long time ago and knows that he cannot be regarded as an ordinary high school student. He thinks that some of his places and methods are better than those of the country, and his abilities are also unusually high. Therefore, not only does he not Dare to offend Luo Zhen casually, and also collect information about the imaginary world through Luo Zhen's channels.
After all, Luo Zhen not only established the guild again in the new ALO, but also became the leader at the forefront of the Aincrad strategy. With his own charm and ability, he attracted all kinds of talents, including the lords of various races. Everyone is in awe of him. He has all the connections and manpower in VR games. With his expertise, he has more complete information on the virtual world than the country has.
And the hypothetical class where Kikuoka Seijiro is located is responsible for supervising network security and order. Having Luo Zhen's channels is of great help to them.
In view of this, there is nothing to be polite between the two of them. They both know each other to a certain extent, so there is no need to beat around the bush when talking.
Of course, this is definitely not a sign of a good relationship.
Luo Zhen and Kikuoka Seijiro were only using each other to interact with each other. They both knew this.
Therefore, Kikuoka Seijiro had no grudge against Luo Zhenmi Tai.
Because this is also a fact.
"Cybercrimes are not so easy to suppress." Kikuoka Seijiro sighed: "In November alone, there have been more than 100 cases of theft and damage to virtual property, and disputes in VR games have triggered real There are thirteen injury incidents in the world, and one of them resulted in death. The case itself was widely reported by the media, and it can be annoying to deal with it."
Kikuoka Seijiro couldn't help but complain.
But that's the current situation.
Since the release of "The Seed", which has pushed industries such as complete stealth technology and VR games to rapid development, of course, there have been many improvements in society and a lot of progress in civilization, but everything has two sides.
As Seijiro Kikuoka just mentioned, as there are more and more VR games and more and more players are fully stealthed, various bad events have occurred one after another.
The injury incident just mentioned is actually considered a norm, and is considered insignificant among the injury incidents that occur across the country.
"Who made the PK behavior in some games become routine?"
Kikuoka Seijiro sighed repeatedly.
"Not to mention the mental impact caused by venting violence in the virtual world, which makes players less and less restrained in themselves, let's just say that the PK behaviors performed in some games are simply exercises for killing people in the real world. ?”
In this era where almost all kinds of games are available, in some of the more extreme games, because they are too realistic, blood will spurt out as long as the wrist is cut, and the internal organs will be connected if the stomach is cut. They all came out, causing some serious players who were addicted to such games to have mental problems, and their self-restraint became less and less, and their violent tendencies became more and more intense. Finally, they finally took action in the real world. Problems like this can be There are quite a few.
In these games, if you are used to killing people, you will become extremely skilled in killing people in the real world. It is not an exaggeration to say that you practice killing people in the game.
"What's more, there are some fighting games that cooperate with real fighting skills schools in order to pursue authenticity, and use the technology they provide to create the skills of the players in the game, allowing players to master superior fighting skills, completely There are definitely many players who are immersed in this kind of game and want to use the skills they learned in the real world."
Luo Zhen also understands this.
For example, although the sword skills in SAO emphasize the gorgeousness, they are not practical in the real world. If you get used to them, they will be equally lethal, right
Even though there are probably no people like Luo Zhen who use the "Mind's Eye" to make sword skills practical and transform the sword skills in SAO into real sword skills for actual combat, but in other games, it is very The existence of practical skills makes players stronger and more violent.
In this way, and the disputes in the VR world may be brought into the real world, it is understandable that there will be so many injuries.
Problems such as these have become hidden dangers caused by the current complete stealth technology. Although the controversy over whether complete stealth technology should exist is not as big as before, it still makes many people unable to feel safe.
Kikuoka Seijiro often came to Luo Zhen for help on such matters.
Luo Zhen immediately spoke directly.
"Okay, after talking so much, it's time for you to get into the topic, right?" Luo Zhen said straightforwardly: "Why are you looking for me this time?"
Hearing this, Kikuoka Seijiro smiled, then fell silent for a while before speaking like this.
"Do you know ?"
