For Naoha Kiritani, this was just an ordinary day.
She got up in the morning, ate breakfast, then went to the dojo to practice, then went to school, where she had fun with her new friends and had a good day.
If anything, she had lost her older brother — Kazuto Kiritani.
In fact, when Naoha opened her eyes, she had already thought of this. After her parents cried and told her that her brother was dead, Naoha accepted this fact faster than she thought. After all, in the game, she had already guessed that her brother might be dead, and now, her parents only helped her confirm this.
Thinking of this, Naoha could not help but feel a little ironic. She, who knew nothing about games and never touched them, had survived. Instead, it was her brother, who always stayed at home and talked about games, who died in the game world ….
"Naoha, let's go to the shops around the square today. I heard there's a new pastry shop over there."
Walking beside Naoha, a girl with brown hair tied in a cute ponytail suggested with a smile. Naoha nodded.
"Okay, I want to go have a look too."
Walking beside Naoha was her classmate Keiko Ayano, also a member of the Darkmoon Sword guild. Her ID in the game was "Xili", and she was a member of the combat team. Naoha had known her for some time, and she could be considered a very good friend of Naoha's.
Of course, if they were good friends ….
"You still want to eat? Aren't you afraid of getting fat? "
Shi Nong, who was walking beside the two, raised her glasses and sighed helplessly. Xili was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"No, I won't get fat! I'm in the recovery period …. That's right, the recovery period! Didn't the doctor tell us to eat more so that we can gain weight? "
"Isn't gaining weight the same as gaining weight?"
"Woo … woo …."
Hearing Shi Nong's words, Xili was speechless, while Naoha smiled bitterly.
While the group was chatting and laughing, the news on the TV in the window of the shop next to them caught their attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, it's been two years since the Game of Death incident. Currently, the debate over Stealth technology is still brewing in society. What should we do with Stealth technology? What would happen next? With this question in mind, we came to the new CC Club and interviewed the president of CC Club, Fangzheng. "
Upon hearing this name, the trio came to a halt, went to the display window, and looked at the television. Shortly after, the television screen turned and a familiar, handsome face appeared before them.
"Hello, Mr. Fangzheng. As far as we know, you're also a victim of the Game of Death. What prompted you to make the decision to enter this field?"
"Technology itself is not right or wrong."
On the screen, Fangzheng looked energetic and handsome in his suit. He answered the female reporter's question with a smile.
"In fact, I've been worried about Stealth technology from the beginning. That's why I entered the game myself to investigate it. But I didn't expect that the Game of Death incident would happen at that time …. But this was also a wake-up call for us. Indeed, Stealth technology itself is not a problem, but it's not ideal for most people, and can even be said to be somewhat dangerous. Therefore, after that, I learned from the painful experience and chose to enter this field through AR technology. "
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the female reporter nodded. Then, she asked another question.
"Since the Game of Death incident, there have been calls in society that Stealth technology should be completely abandoned. What do you think of this? What plans does CC Club have for Stealth technology in the future? "
"I can understand this idea, but I don't agree with it. It's true that for ordinary people's entertainment, Stealth technology is too risky and not suitable for ordinary people to use. But Stealth technology has many applications. In fact, we are working with the medical community of various countries to create a new Stealth treatment system. "
"Treatment ….. is it?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the female reporter was obviously a little surprised. Fangzheng nodded.
"That's right. As I said before, Stealth technology doesn't have much meaning for ordinary people with all four limbs. It might even cause a certain degree of physiological and psychological impact. But it's very useful for patients with physical disabilities, including those who have lost the ability to take care of themselves and can't work. They can regain a normal life through Stealth technology. Not only that, we will also integrate the technology to link Full Stealth with the AR equipment we are currently developing. This way, even if the patient is at home and unable to go out, they can still enjoy going out with their family and friends through Full Stealth …. "
As a game designer, Fangzheng certainly knew how to put it to the greatest extent to obtain the insurance of public opinion. In Fangzheng's opinion, Kayaba Akihiko was basically a retard. He could have used Stealth technology in multiple fields before making a game. In the end, this idiot didn't know why, after inventing this technology, he first used it to create an online game and caused so much trouble.
As for why Kayaba Akihiko did this, Fangzheng was too lazy to care or investigate. In short, one of the other party's members had died, and that was enough.
"Next, we will introduce you to CC's new product, the revolutionary AR equipment – Illsion!"
As the female reporter's voice faded, an advertisement about Illsion began to play on the screen. Several people smiled as they picked up the headphone-like equipment and pressed a button. The next moment, the ordinary world instantly changed into the wonderful world of their dreams. In their eyes, the originally ordinary road became a sci-fi track, and the lifeless buildings on both sides became strange but eye-catching works of art.
Then, suddenly, a few cute little monsters crawled out from the surrounding corners. They jumped, jumped, crawled, and ran to the players' side to fight side by side with them.
"Go, Bikachu!"
Soon, a teenager wearing a red and white hat stretched out his hand and pointed forward handsomely. Then, the yellow cutie beside him suddenly fought with the opposite wild elf. After the fierce battle between the two sides, Bikachu stunned the wild elf with a lightning strike. Then, the teenager took out a Master Ball and threw it over, capturing the wild elf.
"That's great … I want to play this game soon too. I wonder when it'll be on the market."
Looking at the game's advertisement on the screen, Xili was already drooling, and the others weren't much better. After all, if VR only brought them a virtual world, then AR was more like a group of people adventuring in the real world. The scenes that they were used to became colorful and full of charm under the blessing of AR technology.
This made the three of them quite excited. They couldn't wait to play the game as soon as possible.
However, at that moment, a voice came from behind them.
"If you want to play, you may have to wait for another month. Illsion is currently undergoing a global review. We plan to wait until all the reviews are passed before we launch it globally."
"Huh?"
Hearing this voice, the three froze for a moment, then turned around. After seeing the figure in front of them clearly, Xili and Naoha smiled excitedly.
"Mr. Fangzheng!!"
