Artoria wants to read people's hearts

Asuna looked along the voice, and her light golden eyes instantly reflected the figure of the other party.

It was a young man who looked to be in his 20s, his mouth was always slightly curved, and he didn't seem to be aggressive at all.

His black hair was neatly combed back, and he was wearing a neat suit, which really gave people the feeling of a social elite.

"Chairman." The young man wearing glasses first slightly nodded at Akira Yuuki, calling out his position as a gesture of respect.

After finishing all this, he turned around, raised a smile and greeted the flaxen-colored long-haired girl standing not far away, "Miss, my name is Nobuyuki Sugo, I can see you today." You are my honor."

Logically speaking, from the moment he came in until now, there was nothing wrong with the other party's etiquette.

but........

Looking at the other party's smiling expression, Asuna felt inexplicably uncomfortable with this young man named Nobuyuki Sugo.

But based on social etiquette, she finally put up a smile that didn't reach her heart, and replied in a businesslike manner.

"Mr. Sugo, hello." She smiled politely, and then said, "My name is Yuuki Asuna, and I am very glad to meet you today."

After saying this, she pretended not to see the opening of the other party's mouth to speak at all, and hastily raised her hand slightly, pointing to the rehabilitation machine in front of her and speaking first.

"You came here this time, you should have something to discuss with my father, right?"

She quickly raised her eyes to look at her father, then turned her gaze away calmly, and said with a smile, "Then I won't bother you, you are busy first, I will continue to recover and try to get back sooner." It's better to leave the hospital."

Asuna's preemptive talk gave the unprepared Sugo Nobuyuki no chance to interject.

What others have said has already reached this level, if he still pretends not to understand and babbles, it will appear that he is extremely ungrateful at this moment.

So his eyelids twitched, and he took a deep look at the flaxen-haired girl, and then evoked a kind smile.

"In that case, then I won't bother you for the time being." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Yuki Akizo with his eyes. After seeing the other party nodded slightly to him, he finally He continued to speak, "Then you recover first, and I will talk to your father about work first."

"If you want to talk about work, then you can talk about it here." Yuki Akizo reached out and patted the shoulder of the young man with eyes, with a hint of encouragement in his expression, "Asuna is my daughter, and there is no one here. What an outsider, so Sugo-kun, report to me right here."

Seeing the expression on his boss's face, Nobuyuki Sugo understood instantly, and then showed a generous smile.

"That's right, so here it is."

The two of you talked to each other, and the matter was finalized, and the corner of Yuuki Asuna's mouth twitched involuntarily after listening to the whole process.

She glanced at Akizo Yuuki vaguely, but for a moment she was not sure what her father was thinking.

but..........

If you want to talk here, then talk here.

Asuna pursed her lips lightly, not paying any attention to this matter in her heart.

I play mine, they play theirs, it's just that these two are background boards that can play their own BGM.

As she thought so, she stretched her hands forward and held the two railings tightly.

Asuna took a deep breath, continued to grit her teeth, and slowly moved forward like a snail.

But although I said in my heart that I don't care, in fact, if there are two people talking all the time, people's instincts will be to listen subconsciously.

The words of the conversation between her father and that young man named Nobuyuki Sugo entered her ears gently along the wind.

"Chairman, look, this is the plan for our project."

The voice of the young man with eyes is respectful, this attitude towards the boss can give people some goodwill bonus.

"Well, then I'll take a look now." It was the voice of her father Akizo Yuki, calm and slightly majestic.

In the next period of time, neither of them continued to speak, and she could only hear the sound of pages turning in her ears.

After about seven or eight minutes, her father raised his voice slightly, and spoke the first sentence after the silence.

"It looks good, but are you sure about the feasibility of this plan?"

"Of course I'm sure." Nobuyuki Sugo's voice seemed very confident, "Akihiko Kayaba and I were classmates in college, and we worked together for a while, so I don't know much about virtual stealth technology. Not much worse than him."

"!!!"

Akihiko Kayaba? ?

Because Asuna heard these four words, her original focus on rehabilitation was instantly distracted.

The movement of her feet paused, and she stopped and turned her head to look at the two of them.

Perhaps seeing the girl's gaze on him, Nobuyuki Sugo's back straightened even more at this time, and he made a promise to Akizo Yuuki with a face full of confidence.

"Please don't worry, chairman." While speaking, he raised his hand and lightly helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "As long as we acquire the AUGUS game development company that has gone bankrupt due to the "SAO" incident, then we Then you can get their server and the core system of the virtual stealth game."

"But let's not talk about the server, hasn't the system software been completely deleted by that guy in Kayaba?"

This matter is no secret in the industry. After all, if the core system of game development had not been artificially damaged, otherwise the acquisition of the AUGUS company would not be their turn in the final analysis.

but.........

"According to some residual information, it may be difficult for others to restore the core system, but for me, Nobuyuki Sugo, this is not a difficult task."

He smiled when he said this, with a smile on his face that everything was under control.

"Chairman, please trust me."

He said seriously, "As long as you can agree to this plan, and then give me half a year, I can fully restore the core system software, and use this to create our own game belonging to our RECT manufacturing company."

Asuna blinked her light golden eyes, only to hear that young man's voice became a little passionate, and his expression was even more excited.

He said: "After "SAO", another virtual stealth game masterpiece, I named it - ALfheim Online (The Kingdom of Fairies)"

Chapter 45 Attribution of Game Seeds

Yuki Akizo finally nodded in agreement with the proposal.

And he spoke on the spot, and appointed Nobuyuki Xuxiang as the general manager of the project.

Regarding the final direction of this matter, Asuna just watched quietly from the side, never saying a word.

After the young man wearing glasses took back the proposal with a high-spirited expression, she suddenly asked, "The kingdom of fairies, is this the next game that our company will launch, right?"

Seeing that the flaxen-colored long-haired girl finally became interested in him at this moment (not), Nobuyuki Sugou couldn't help but feel secretly complacent in his heart.

"Yes, miss." He raised his hand and caressed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, restrained all his thoughts and said calmly.

"It is a game that is somewhat different from "SAO". According to my sketches of game settings, its core and biggest feature is that all players can have limited flying abilities, and can experience the feeling of soaring into the sky with a physical body."

"flight..........?"

Although the girl in the hospital gown looks slender and looks very unhealthy, this does not affect her beauty. On the contrary, because of her physical weakness, when others look at her, she can't help but feel pity in her heart. Affection.

The tender white neck raised a seductive arc, the sun shone on her body, and the blue blood vessels inside could be seen through her pale skin, and the slender limbs seemed to be broken at the touch of a touch.

The scene in front of him made Nobuyuki Sugo's eyes darken involuntarily, the deepest part of his eyes was full of dark filth, and the unsightly desire in his heart was quietly fermenting at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, he lowered his head and used the lens to hide his desire to abuse the other party.

After an imperceptible pause, he spoke again with the same tone as before, "That's right, soaring above the sky is a dream that human beings have been pursuing since ancient times, isn't it?"

Asuna's expression was a little confused, "So... are you going to give the player wings?"

"Of course not." To the girl's question, Nobuyuki Sugo chuckled and shook his head.

"There is no human race in this game world. After all, the name of the game is the kingdom of fairies, so the natural protagonist is fairies."

"So I plan to cancel the sword skill system of "SAO" and redesign it into a more interesting magic system."

It seemed that he felt that the flaxen-haired girl was very interested in this topic, so in order to win the favor of the other party, he was also happy to say more at this time.

"In this game, players will be divided into nine elf clans, with the goal of evolving into "Light Spirits", and move towards the apex of a huge tree called "World Tree"."

"According to my preliminary idea, I intend to make it a role of goblins from these nine tribes, advocating an open war between players of all levels, and the system can support calculations whether it is fighting against air or against ground. "

"But in this case—" After hearing this sentence, Asuna frowned slightly, and she pointed out one of the drawbacks, "If you support open duels between players of all levels, then the character level Suppression will easily degrade the player's gaming experience."

As an old game player with half a year of experience, she can still see some problems about "The Kingdom of Fairies" from the player's point of view.

Nodding approvingly, Nobuyuki Sugo didn't feel angry because of being questioned, but showed a confident smile, "I have already anticipated this problem, and I already have a solution."

"Based on this consideration, "The Fairy's Kingdom" is not designed as a game where the hierarchy is paramount. I plan to create another interesting victory and defeat evaluation system, which is the skill system."

"Skill system?" Asuna, who had only been in contact with "SAO" in the game, didn't quite understand the term, so she couldn't help but tilt her head, and repeated the word the other party said with a confused look.

At this time, the breeze passed through the window, gently blowing the girl's soft hair, and also caused her to cough.

Seeing this, the young man in a suit took a few steps forward, reached the window and reached out to close the window.

"The weather has cooled down a bit recently, miss, your body is weak, so it's better to pay more attention."

As he spoke, he turned his head and showed a gentle smile to Asuna.

The young elite in a suit has a bright future, but he looks a little handsome and has a gentle and gentle personality.

If an outstanding young man like this was an ordinary girl, even if he wouldn't be moved, he would definitely not feel bad for him.

But Yuuki Asuna is not an ordinary girl, she has seen truly outstanding people, and she also understands a real gentleman and gentleness.

It is precisely because of the contrast that she feels that the other party's every move is inexplicably greasy.

But the other party helped her after all, so she just nodded at this, and thanked him very distantly and politely, "Thank you, Mr. Xu Xiang, for your concern. I will pay more attention to it in the future."

After exchanging a few polite words, their topic turned back to the game.

"For the sake of game balance, I will lower the HP bonus given by the level, and the skill proficiency is not included in the attack power formula. Only by repeatedly honing the operation technique can we strengthen the strength."

When it came to his professional field, the young man with glasses stared at the girl with scorching eyes, exuding a feeling of 'I'm a boss'.

"This also means that the battles in the game rely heavily on the players' motor nerves, and in order to encourage PK between different races, I will also increase the difficulty of the game."

"And this—" he smiled, raised his hand and raised the planning book in his hand, "—is the general design plan of this game "The Kingdom of Fairies."

After saying this, he nodded slightly, indicating that he had explained everything at this moment.

Yuki Akizo stood aside and listened at the same time, his expression seemed a little relieved, as if he was very happy to see his daughter talking happily with this excellent young man he trusted.

After Nobuyuki Sugo's explanation, Asuna now has a general understanding of the game.

She nodded slightly, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

After a few seconds of silence, she blinked, then asked a strange question out of the blue.

"Excuse me......" she said, "...... In this game, will there be a long sword prop called [Excaliber]?"

"???" Black question mark.jpg

As soon as her words came out, the girl successfully confused her father and Nobuyuki Sugo in an instant.

The two couldn't help but looked at each other, and they really didn't quite understand what Asuna was thinking right now.

Seeing the same complicated expressions on the faces of the two, the girl thought they didn't understand, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to add something.

"Excalibur, the weapon in King Arthur's hand."

"I thought it was very famous, don't you know?" She asked in a slightly surprised tone.

No...the problem isn't that.

Of course they know and know that Excalibur is the holy sword that accompanies King Arthur, the legendary hero.

Like the theme of the legend itself, it represents victory and glory, so it is called the symbol of heroic governance, the weapon of the king of kings, and the sword of swords.

"Excalibur" means "broken steel" in ancient Celtic, so it has been translated into "sword of the king", "sword of cutting iron", and "sword in the lake".

but..............

"Why would you want to add this element?"

A puzzled look appeared on her father's face.

However, when faced with this question, Asuna just smiled, her expression didn't show any obvious abnormality, she just replied lightly, "It's just because I like the legend of King Arthur very much."

"Really?" Akira Yuki raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't think much about it.

After a moment of silence, he smiled heartily at his daughter, "If that's the case, let's join."

As for his daughter, he hadn't been with her much since she was a child because of her busy work.

Moreover, Asuna fell into a coma for half a year because of a cybercrime. The fatherly love in his heart was mixed with guilt. Based on the psychology of compensation, he was able to satisfy this small request of his daughter.

Hearing that her father agreed, the girl's light golden eyes instantly brightened up with joy.

"Thank you, father." She smiled happily, and the smile that came from the bottom of her heart seemed to be able to melt the ice that had been frozen for thousands of years.

"It's just a small thing, as long as you're happy." The old father was cheerful, and the guilt in his heart was slightly weakened because of this incident.
