I participated in the development of EVA

"I have verified that both nails are made of high-purity Longinus metal."

Although humans do not have the means to detect unknown substances inside Longinus Metal, they can use EVA flesh and blood to verify it biologically. To put it bluntly, it is to see if there is an inhibitory effect on EVA flesh and blood.

Hearing this, he came back to his senses and asked a question.

“Was my previous proposal effective?”

Igornov shook his head. "Maybe it's too short a time... I haven't seen any effect yet."

He nodded and said nothing more. It had only been two days.

Akagi Naoko then asked.

"What are you going to do with it? Make it into a head restraint!?"

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a while before speaking out his thoughts. "It's actually similar to the restraint device. The only difference is that I don't plan to destroy the nail shape. Just like that... insert it into the brain of the Type 02 prototype in the shape of a nail. Well, use it with a set of control devices. In this way, we can control the upper limit of the brain growth of the Type 02 prototype in the future."

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"There's no need to be so tedious. We just need to concentrate the nails on the consciousness surgery reconstruction area and prevent the Type 02 prototype from repairing this area and regaining consciousness."

After a pause, she added.

"Its brain will need to carry the dreams of the entire Earth in the future."

Fumihiko Ikari thought about it and felt that Naoko Akagi's plan was better, so he nodded and agreed.

"Then let's follow your plan."

18:43:18

535. Do you want to eat rice bowl?

When the two were about to take action, Igornov asked weakly from the side.

“Do we still need to test the pressure of a single server?”

Naoko Akagi looked at Fumihiko Ikari.

Ikari Fumihiko gritted his teeth and said something nonsense.

"Yes, His growth should be an incremental process. Even if it is not, it should be gradual and cyclical to prevent accidents."

"it is good."

Igornov responded and went to report the situation to his superiors.

Two short nails, relatively short compared to the size of the EVA, were placed into the brain of the Type 02 prototype through the gaps cut in the brain, and then suspended above the surgically modified area.

The subsequent renovation project has not been completed yet...

The virtual game began internal testing.

Although he couldn't play it, it was something that Fumihiko Ikari had always wanted to play, so he paid attention to it immediately. But what surprised him was that he thought that the emergence of this epoch-making virtual game would definitely attract the attention of most people in the world, but the actual situation was completely different. At the first time, only 300,000 people in the world participated in the internal test.

This is?

Was the internal testing too abrupt? Or are most people still engaged in post-disaster reconstruction?

He immediately sent a message to Ritsuko Akagi.

[What's going on? Why are there so few people? ]

It took a while for Ritsuko Akagi to reply to the message.

【I'll go ask.】

【it is good. 】

He didn't have to wait long before Ritsuko Akagi sent another message.

[According to the analysis of experts, first of all, the internal test was too abrupt and there was too little preparation in the early stage. Secondly, it was because the virtual game was too advanced and most people didn’t understand what it was. Thirdly, the global online game population base is too small at this stage, and the login ports have only been laid out in major cities for the time being. Many factors have led to this situation.

Well, the expert also asked me to tell you that you don’t have to worry because they have made the corresponding arrangements and this problem will be solved soon. 】

Only after hearing these words did he react.

The gaming population is small? Uh… This world has suffered a second shock, which disrupted the development trajectory of the Internet.

Moreover, those who are still alive are busy with post-disaster reconstruction work and struggling to survive. How could they have the mood to play games?

He thought about it and decided that the best and fastest way out now was bribery.

Let everyone see the benefits.

People can go to factories and do repetitive screw-driving work day and night just to earn three meals a day. The same theory applies to virtual games.

And it’s also a kind of…

【Wealth redistribution? 】

[Well, for this part of the plan, some companies will cooperate with us, using high salaries as bait to mobilize people's attention to virtual games. In fact, I think... we don't need to do anything. We just need to wait for some spontaneous behavior from these players who have experienced virtual games, and then we can attract enough attention to virtual games.]

He also had a similar idea, thinking that NERV did nothing, but the virtual game itself was a blockbuster that was enough to trigger a chemical reaction.

【Let the bullets fly for a while. 】

【? ? ? 】

Ritsuko Akagi obviously doesn't understand this joke.

He was disappointed and was about to say something when Ritsuko Akagi sent another message.

[That's it... Let's not talk about it for now. I have to go upgrade. ]

[Huh? You entered the game? ]

[People from both project teams have entered the game. Well, the game was produced too hastily. We need to test whether there are any areas that need to be modified or improved.]

He was jealous and wanted to use the authority in his hands to kick Ritsuko Akagi out of the game directly.

but……

Reason still triumphs over the devil in my heart.

【Go. 】

After disappearing for a while, Akagi Ritsuko sent another message. [Oh, by the way, I heard from others that the leader of the battle simulation system development team you selected, um, it seems that the researcher named Sakuragi Haruna has submitted a letter of resignation. It seems that... he has resigned to concentrate on playing games.]

He was confused for a moment, but then he was relieved.

Sakuragi Haruna, a graduate student who had come into contact with him relatively early, has been obsessed with playing games for a long time. Before, Seele did not pay her salary, and Sakuragi Haruna had to work to make a living. Nerv made up for her previous salary, and she no longer had any troubles in life. It was reasonable for her to make such a decision after the emergence of virtual games.

Although it was reasonable, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

So free and easy.

Just as he was about to peek at the screen to see what was going on in the game, his white assistant Jenny sent him a message.

[Minister, one of the team leaders you appointed, Sakuragi Haruna, has just submitted her resignation report.]

He was not surprised that his assistant asked him these questions.

He personally appointed Sakuragi Haruna as the team leader, so if she wanted to resign, she naturally had to get his approval.

【Just follow the normal process. 】

Sakuragi Haruna is just an insignificant employee in the research institute. Even if it were not the case, he would not hinder others from choosing their own lives.

【it is good. 】

After taking a look at Jenny's reply, he put his phone down.

Looking at the internal situation of the game through the screen, most of the 300,000 players now looked a little dazed. It was obvious that they were deeply shocked by the virtual reality technology for the first time. After a long time, these people gradually came back to their senses under the urging of the NPC. Although they came back to their senses, the surrounding plants and trees still amazed these people.

The more he looked, the more envious he became.

There was an impulse in my heart to join in at all costs, but in the end, reason suppressed the surging desire in my heart.

Naoko Akagi, who was busy with the modification project of the Type 02 prototype, suddenly spoke at this time.

"I have made an adaptation before. If you really want to play, you can use the mouse and keyboard to enter the game."

When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he stood up from his seat because of the surprise.

He forgot himself for a moment and hugged Akagi Naoko. Fortunately... there was still some rationality left in his brain at this moment, and he resisted the urge to kiss her.

But even so, Naoko Akagi was at a loss and her ears turned red.

At this time, he had no energy to pay attention to these things. He quickly sat in front of the computer and asked Akagi Naoko.

"how should I do?"

Naoko Akagi obviously had not yet recovered from the sudden attack. After a while, she calmed down at the urging of Fumihiko Ikari, called up the adapter program she had made earlier, and opened the game for Fumihiko Ikari.

Seeing that Fumihiko Ikari was entering the game, Igornov was hesitant to speak.

During these three days, the superiors repeatedly emphasized one order, which was to stop Fumihiko Ikari from entering the virtual game.

He knew something about this.

No, everyone who knows Ikari Fumihiko knows one thing: he is obsessed with video games. He tried every possible way to get time off to play games during his time at Seele, and he is obsessed with virtual reality games. In short, everyone who knows Ikari Fumihiko has a common understanding...

After the emergence of virtual reality games, Fumihiko Ikari will most likely become addicted to them.

18:43:30

536. A gap of an era, he is still addicted

After hesitating for a long time, Igornov still couldn't make up his mind whether he should stop Fumihiko Ikari from playing games with the mouse and keyboard.

Uh……

Well, even if Ikari Fumihiko really entered the game through the virtual cabin, he didn't have the courage to stop him.

If he really did that, he would be worried that if there was any dangerous experiment next time, Ikari Fumihiko would use it as an opportunity to retaliate.

He prayed in his heart.

I hope I won’t get addicted.

Yes, now he doesn't even have the courage to tell tales.

And I also thought of the reasons to comfort myself later: Huh? Ikari Fumihiko secretly used the computer to play games in the office under the pretext of taking a break. What can I do? I can't always follow Ikari Fumihiko and monitor him 24 hours a day! I want to...but won't Akagi Naoko pay attention?

Of course, this is the general idea, but I would certainly not use such a tone and attitude when reporting to my superiors.

At this time, Fumihiko Ikari, just like he didn't notice Naoko Akagi's blushing face, also didn't notice what Igornov was thinking.

He’s already in the game.

Although he entered the game with a mouse and keyboard that was a generation behind, which was a bit like a Pacific Ocean, he still entered the game, right? However, one thing that surprised him was that Naoko Akagi, who had no idea about games, had done the unexpectedly professional adaptation without any anti-human controls. It was obvious that she had put a lot of thought into it.

This once again made him feel the urge to hug Naoko Akagi and give her a kiss.

Fortunately, the game was more attractive to him at this time.

Create a character and enter the game...

The game interface exudes a strong legendary feeling, and it is obvious that Naoko Akagi borrowed a lot from the online game Legend when making the adaptation.

He followed the novice mission and started walking.

This process briefly introduces the background of the story.

The player is a reserve soldier sent to the frontline by the Human Federation. His mission is to guard the Great Wall, protect his homeland, and prevent foreign beasts from entering human territory. This setting did not surprise him. What surprised him was the game professions, including Qigong, Magician, Druid, Warrior, Fighter, Witch, Knight, Onmyoji, and Witch...

It's a complete mess, a complete hodgepodge.

After being stunned for a moment, he realized that the reason for this situation was his original idea of ​​blending the mythological systems of various regions into the game.

His idea was for each region to develop its storyline according to its own regional mythology, but he didn't expect the game department to create such a hodgepodge.

Without hesitation, he chose the Qi Refiner.

After choosing a profession, I subconsciously looked at the professional skills, and was immediately overwhelmed by the complex skill tree. I even felt that studying the profession was as difficult as taking the college entrance examination.

Technique cultivation, weapon cultivation, formation cultivation, alchemy cultivation, etc...

The game does not force players to practice a single skill lineage. Players can use their skill points however they want. The main feature of the game is a high degree of freedom without restrictions.

He played for a whole day and night without sleeping, and teamed up with a group of strangers to kill monsters and level up crazily. He even didn't have time to eat. He was more devoted than Naoko Akagi who was doing scientific research nearby.

If his body hadn't been unable to bear it any longer, he would still be reluctant to log off.
