All the voices in the bar disappeared in an instant.
Everyone looked at Aikir's direction, looking at the owner of the bar.
Under everyone's gaze, Aikir coughed.
"As you all know, after the SAO incident and the ALO incident, the full stealth technology has caused a lot of discussion in society. Many people think that this is a very dangerous technology, and they can no longer trust it. As a result, many VRMMO's have been shut down, and the imaginary world has left us."
Aikir's words made everyone's smile disappear, and they became silent.
Naoba also lowered her head, looking a little sad.
But Aikir didn't stop explaining.
"It's quite difficult to develop a system program that can control the input and output of the five senses, so that people can freely soar in the imaginary world. Before that, all the games in the world were based on the Cardinal system developed by Akihiko Kayaba in ARGUS, and to use this system, you have to pay a very high royalty fee."
"With the closure of Argus, the rights of the program were also transferred to RECT. But now because of RECT's disbandment, the public is also very critical of VR games, making many companies no longer willing to operate the VR industry, and the stealth-type games began to fall into a state of decline."
Speaking of that, Aikir changed the topic.
"However, recently, this situation has changed."
After saying that, Aikir asked everyone.
"Have any of you heard of the" World Seed "?"
Agil's question caused a lot of people to look at each other in dismay.
One person quickly raised his hand.
This person was none other than Kirito.
"I seem to have seen it on the Internet."
Kirito, as a useless person on the Internet, said in a serious tone.
"It is said that it is a program package launched by the country to operate the full sensory VR environment through the full stealth system. There is news on the Internet that this program is currently being distributed to major companies through the hands of the country."
Kirito's words made everyone's eyes light up.
"What program?"
"Is it released by the country?"
"Is it reliable?"
"Does that mean that the VR industry is going to recover?"
Everyone began to discuss among themselves.
It seemed that everyone was very concerned about this matter.
So Rozen raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. He just watched quietly.
Yasna seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Rozen.
"I say, Aikir, do you know what's going on?"
Klein asked Aikir.
"I know quite a lot."
Aikir nodded, looked around at everyone, and explained.
"According to the news, it's a Cardinal system that automatically controls the SAO server. The system's scale has been reduced to a small server, and it also supports the development environment of the game components included in the system."
The function of this program was that as long as one wanted to create a VR world, one only needed to download this program, prepare a server with a good broadband, and then design a 3D object or configure an existing object in the package to run the program. This way, one could create an imaginary world that belonged to one's own.
In other words, as long as they had this program, anyone could design a completely stealth game and make it into another imaginary world different from SAO and ALO.
"It requires very little royalties, and it's functional. Because it's a program released by the country, there's no risk factor in it. As soon as it was released, it was immediately purchased by major companies, and they began to produce VR games one after another. Even those games that were shut down have shown signs of reopening. The current public opinion on the Internet has gradually begun to change, and it has become a declaration of the coming of a new era."
Aikir's words made everyone's eyes widen at first, and then they immediately burst into an uproar.
"Doesn't that mean that the Complete Stealth technique has once again been recognized?"
"The imaginary world is going to appear again?"
"And this time, it's supported by the country."
"To be able to design one game after another so easily, how many games will appear in the future?"
"Oh my God …"
Everyone was surprised, nervous, excited, and happy, there were all kinds of reactions.
Especially Naobe, he was surprised and happy.
"The shut down games will be reopened? What about ALO? Will the Elven Kingdom be reopened? "
Naobe was looking forward to it, but he was also uneasy.
As a result, it was not Aikir who answered Naobe's question, but Rozen.
"It will be reopened."
Rozen said suddenly.
"The operators of several emerging companies are ALO Players. They first jointly funded a new company, and then received all of ALO's files from RECT at a low price, almost free of charge. Next, they will operate it again, and they also introduced many new features. Not only can the original ALO Players fully inherit their accounts and characters, but they can also continue to play in the newly operated ALO. Also, the flight restriction has been removed. From now on, there will be no longer a problem with flight time, and it doesn't matter how much you want to fly."
Hearing this, Naobe couldn't help but be ecstatic.
If that was the case, then it was undoubtedly great news for Naobe.
"So you know about this?"
Aikir looked at Rozen blankly.
Regarding this …
"Of course I know." Rozen said calmly, "Because I was the one who handed over the program to the country, and I was also the one who proposed the requirement for ALO to restart operations and cancel the airspace restriction. After the country conveyed it to the new operating company of ALO, they immediately agreed."
As soon as those words came out, everyone in the room quieted down.
Everyone looked at Rozen with astonishment and shock.
Including Yasna.
Including Kirito.
Including Naobe.
Naturally, including Celica, Liz, Xing, and Aikir.
"You … you gave it to the country?"
Klein stuttered.
But that was the truth.
"Do you think the country can develop such a program?" Rozen shrugged and said: "This is what Kayaba Akihiko, the originator of the full stealth technology, gave me."
Exactly.
In ALO, the "World Seed" that Kayaba Akihiko finally gave to Rozen was this thing. It had been stored in the hard disk of Rozen's game helmet and was later discovered by Rozen.
So, Rozen gave it to Kikuoka Seijiro and asked him to promote it to the world through the hands of the country.
"With the country's guarantee, people's trust in stealth technology will increase again, and the country can't just watch as stealth technology is banned. It's detrimental to the development of society and civilization. Therefore, they urgently need this program to open up the market again, control public opinion, and stifle the series of effects brought about by the SAO incident and the ALO incident. Therefore, I transferred this program, but the copyright will still be in my hands, and the royalties will all belong to me. No matter which game uses this program, it's fine if the game doesn't charge for it, but if the game does charge for it, I'll take 50% of the profits."
Rozen told everyone about his deal with the country, leaving everyone speechless.
