Social Opinion, Xiao Yan Meets Kirito
On the top floor of the SAO official building, in the office.
On Wang Yan's computer screen, a dialogue scene between Kirito and Yuki Asuna was displayed.
He had already implanted nanoscale cameras into the bodies of these two people. These cameras could operate simply by transmitting electrical currents through human cells. In this era, they were truly cutting-edge technology.
There's no way around it; being a shadow in the micro-magic dimension is tough. You only have a little bit of Supernatural power, and you can't use it casually.
"Lu Bu? It's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Wang Yan shook his head.
He felt that compared to the Dynasty Warriors Lu Fengxian " who was praised to the skies by the Japanese, Kirito was somewhat like the "Powdered-faced and Vermilion-lipped"Ma Chao of Xiliang.
Before his personality was altered, Kirito was far inferior, but now he's starting to look somewhat decent.
After turning off the monitoring video from Kirito's first-person perspective, Wang Yan opened a webpage.
Without needing to bypass internet restrictions, with his technological prowess and optimized electronic devices, he could virtually visit any region of the world that wasn't physically disconnected from the internet.
Algeria, Papua New Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Denmark, Dominica, Ecuador, China, the United Kingdom, the United States, Russia, France, Japan...
Netizens from all over the world are spontaneously demanding the removal of the Killing Permission of the top ten players in the SAO rankings.
However, the various conglomerates and national government agencies remained indifferent, seemingly not taking the matter to heart at all.
All they care about is the benefits and progress that SAO can bring to the world.
Wang Yan completely disregarded the protests from ordinary citizens and online trolls.
He had a keen understanding of the thoughts of top figures in various countries.
What does it matter if a couple of people die?
Even if the top ten players in the combat power ranking each kill one person a day, what does that amount to compared to millions of players?
In the future, the number of SAO players may even exceed ten million.
Every moment, the SAO game map development team is working tirelessly, preparing for any eventuality.
The seven sky cities in the game are nothing compared to the vast majority.
Besides, the top ten players in terms of combat power are not unreasonable people; they will only kill those opponents who are foolish enough to anger them.
This time, Sugou Nobuyuki is a complete idiot, a self-righteous fool who tries to manipulate public opinion and oppress others according to outdated traditional thinking, but he doesn't realize that people don't buy into his ways at all.
Online, many people are paying tribute to Sugou Nobuyuki, considering him "the first to sacrifice himself," and some keyboard warriors have even completely deified him.
However, netizens with average intelligence who are capable of rational thinking and have watched the entire video of the incident insist that Sugou Nobuyuki this upon himself and has no one to blame but himself.
Just in case...
What if, in the future, the top ten players on the combat power rankings become irrational, inhumane players who enjoy killing?
If such a person were to have the Killing Permission, wouldn't that cause social unrest?
No.
Those at the top of the pyramid in various countries don't care about this at all.
There are only ten people with the Killing Permission. With a little investigation, all the information will come out, and it will be clear who killed whom at what time.
A true serial killer can only be rampant for an hour before their real-world identity is revealed, and their true form is eliminated.
Do you really think the real world is full of Five Emphases and Four Beauties, simple and honest, and that there are no killers?
I'm afraid I'm living in a dream.
With the cooperation and guidance of high-level officials from various countries, public opinion gradually returned to stability.
The existence of the Killing Permission is equivalent to creating ten idol-level players, with symbolic significance far outweighing practical significance.
In fact, within just three days, all the players in the top ten of the SAO power rankings, except for "Xiao Yan" who ranked first and did not make a statement, issued statements saying that they would never use the Killing Permission unless necessary, and even if they did, they would submit relevant written explanations or video explanations afterward.
Among them, the players "Lu Mingze" and "Kirito" were the most perfunctory when facing the negotiation expert, giving "um" and "I know" respectively.
Of course, the writers employed by government agencies in various countries expanded these two answers into a vivid and engaging essay of about 20,000 words, drawing on a wide range of sources and making full use of allusions from various countries to express Lu Mingze and Kirito's love for the world and their yearning for a better life.
Netizens have come to understand Kirito's earlier actions in killing Sugou Nobuyuki.
He risked everything for a beautiful woman.
What a wonderful thing!
They are like princes and heroes living in a fairy tale.
Previously, Kirito was so badly maligned that he seemed to have no reason to live and that even breathing was a sin, instantly became the first popular star in SAO, gaining countless female fans.
There is still a potential problem here.
The guy ranked first on the combat power list, despite having the Killing Permission, has never expressed his stance.
Some conspiracy theorists said they did not trust this guy.
Judging from his name, Xiao Yan should be Chinese.
Of course, many South Koreans insist that Xiao Yan is an outstanding e-sports player in the Republic of Korea.
There are many talented netizens out there. Some anthropologists analyzed Xiao Yan's facial features through videos posted on the SAO website and insisted that he was of Chinese descent.
As for why Xiao Yan didn't make a statement in the murder declaration...
The reason is simple.
No one can find him!
The guy who's number one on the power rankings is far ahead of everyone else in terms of progress, and he always goes into seclusion to train in areas marked as "extremely dangerous" by other players.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
The ten players with the Killing Permission never killed another player.
Humans are creatures that remember the good times but forget the bad ones.
Some fearless ordinary players started challenging the top ten on the leaderboard.
Due to public pressure, these top athletes chose to endure humiliation.
Of course, the ordinary players didn't find Xiao Yan, Lu Mingze, or Kirito, and they didn't even provoke Asuna always hovered between tenth and eleventh place.
The reasons are relatively simple and need no further explanation.
The tragic death of Sugou Nobuyuki the fact that the group of mentally challenged people he had incited were also crippled and unable to take care of themselves in reality.
Learn from the mistakes of the past, and be guided by them.
Nobody wanted to stay in front of these four guys for long, at least until they were sure they'd be safe from trouble.
On this day, on the thirty-first floor of the third floating city, "Stuart".
In the safe zone, a boy dressed in black appeared in front of Kirito's team.
"I am Xiao Yan."
The young man in black got straight to the point. "I'd like to form a small guild and would like to invite you to join."
After becoming Reincarnator, the special Game Helmet rewarded by his first mission gave Xiao Yan the "special ability" to enhance his real-world strength in the game.
As time went on, he gradually realized that the further he progressed in SAO, the less suitable it was for lone wolves to survive.
Without a stable group of friends and family, his progress in the game will be slowed down, and it will also affect his real-world strength in the Dou Qi Continent.
That's why Xiao Yan took the initiative to come down from the fortieth floor and find Kirito and Lu Mingze.
