I participated in the development of EVA

"The strongest player and the diva in one, is this your real plan? That's right, double insurance is safer this way."

Was this just something I made up in my head?

Ikari Fumihiko breathed a sigh of relief but also rejected it decisively.

"No, I think you are more suitable."

"I?"

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"I'm too old."

Just when Fumihiko Ikari didn't know how to continue the topic, he thought of Hatsune Miku from his previous life.

He immediately made an excuse.

"You misunderstood. I meant that you are the pilot and the Three Sages System is the singer."

Only then did Naoko Akagi react.

"So virtual idols mean creating a completely virtual idol? I thought you became an idol in the virtual world."

"Right, that is it."

Akagi Naoko spoke again hesitantly.

"Isn't his image suitable for being a singer?!"

Fumihiko Ikari was unable to understand the meaning of Naoko Akagi's words for a moment, and was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Just change your appearance."

"But even so, it still doesn't get away from... This is the idea of ​​'awesome technology', right?"

"Let her appear in the game as a player. If that doesn't work, we can create a household registration for her in reality."

Seeing Akagi Naoko lowering her head in thought, Ikari Fumihiko noticed a blind spot in their conversation.

Can this method really gather the power of the mind?

Even if I could...

What kind of effect can it have?

After thinking about it, he realized why he cared so much! If he succeeded, he could continue to take credit for it. If he failed, it would not affect him. After all, all this was just Akagi Naoko's guess. He never admitted that this was his plan. Uh... what was my plan?

I have laid the basic conditions for you to become a god. Please do your best, Lilith. The rest is up to you!

Uh, that's right!

After success...

Please remember my contributions and don't erase me when you reset the world.

The sound of rapid typing on the keyboard brought Fumihiko Ikari back to reality from his wandering thoughts.

He looked over and found that Naoko Akagi had already taken action.

Wait a moment……

"How come you are dressed so elegantly... No! How come you designed the image of the virtual singer to look like Ayanami Rei?"

Akagi Naoko replied without even looking up.

"I think it's not good to be completely virtual. There must be a certain connection as a basis."

After a pause, she added.

"Among humans, Rei Ayanami is the closest to EVA, and I think she is more suitable than me to be the pilot of the Type 02 prototype."

There is some truth to what Naoko Akagi said, which makes Fumihiko Ikari unable to refute.

"And the Monster Invasion series of movies and TV shows have already given Rei Ayanami a considerable popularity base."

After hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari finally reacted.

The virtual image generated now is not the current Rei Ayanami, but the image of Rei Ayanami grown to about fifteen years old, simulated by the Three Wise Men system used in the Monster Invasion series, which is similar to the state of Rei Ayanami when she appeared in the original work.

"Do you have any opinion?"

Ikari Fumihiko hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"No."

After a pause, he couldn't help but add one more sentence.

"Why not add the pilot of Unit 2 as well... She looks good too."

"Won't this be distracting?"

"Uh, forget it."

Ikari Fumihiko warned himself in his heart that this was serious scientific research, not a tool for fun.

Uh……

Okay, this research is a bit weird.

"I have already written the proposal. Can you see if there is anything that needs to be revised or supplemented? If not, I will submit it."

This plan seems simple, but it is difficult to complete relying solely on the Three Wise Men System and Fumihiko Ikari and Naoko Akagi. It must rely on the power of NERV to be completed.

Fumihiko Ikari took a quick look. Naoko Akagi had already made it very detailed, and he couldn't find any problems.

He was just a little confused. He just wanted to understand what Naoko Akagi was thinking about and how things turned out like this.

"So be it."

Naoko Akagi nodded and reported the plan.

A day later, nerv sent back a more detailed plan for training a singer.

Although Fumihiko Ikari could not understand the specific content, he could feel that the plan was professional enough.

So he signed his name.

And recommended Ritsuko Akagi to become the technical consultant for this project.

About an hour later, Ritsuko Akagi received the notification, feeling a little confused.

Technical advisor for the idol department.

? ? ? ?

Isn't Nerv the Apostle Countermeasures Organization? Why did they suddenly switch to idols?

After being confused for a moment, her intuition told her.

This matter must be related to Fumihiko Ikari!

Because making movies and TV series, playing virtual games...these seemingly random things are basically related to Fumihiko Ikari.

Especially after reading the project plan with important information deleted, this feeling became stronger and I realized that this might be related to the artificial god project.

She just couldn't understand it.

How did an artificial god get involved with something like a singing girl, which she didn't want to do at all?

Although she had some doubts in her mind, she did not seek answers from Fumihiko Ikari. After working at NERV for so long... she knew what she could ask and what she could not ask.

But she still couldn't help but sigh.

"The game department, the film and television department, and the newly established singing girl department, our experimental building is becoming less and less serious. Compared with the research institute, it is more like an entertainment company. Only the virtual reality technology department is more serious."

A subordinate beside her heard this and couldn't help but correct her.

"Don't you think the Virtual Reality Technology Department is more like a film and television base now? All the resources for the monster invasion movies and TV series come from there."

"Uh...Okay! If you put it this way, our laboratory building is really the headquarters building of an entertainment company."

18:49:05

557. I've been playing for a while now. It's level and level . I'd also like to mention the level of practice.

Carrying out love and justice...

Are you sure this is a project to train singers, and not a crossover to magical girls?

Ikari Fumihiko complained in his heart.

No matter how much he complained, he knew in his heart that this should be NERV's countermeasure.

They want to brainwash the future artificial gods in this way.

To be precise, it should be through creating a 'singer with a love and justice personality' to influence the emotions of fans, thereby indirectly guiding the thinking of the artificial god.

"Do you think this arrangement by the higher-ups is possible?"

Naoko Akagi shook her head.

"Not sure. It depends on the specific nature of the mental power."

Fumihiko Ikari nodded in agreement with the idea. On this matter, he and Naoko Akagi basically had the same opinion. If the power of the mind was a pure energy, then this arrangement by the NERV top management would naturally have no effect. If the power of the mind included emotions, then this arrangement would be effective.

NERV's think tank must also know this, which is why they do this.

Naturally, I want to take a gamble.

It would be best if you succeed, but there will be no loss if you fail.

The same is true for Fumihiko Ikari.

It’s just that their goals are different. Nerv hopes to brainwash the artificial god, while he hopes to brainwash Lilith in this way.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

With NERV's full promotion, the number of virtual game players has accumulated to 20 million in just one month of internal testing. This is still subject to production capacity constraints, otherwise this number would at least double.

Fumihiko Ikari took a look at the situation backstage.

The evolutionary program was still changing, and there was no pattern to be seen. After a glance, they looked away. Akagi Naoko and Ikari Fumihiko had long since given up on analyzing and studying this program. There was no way they could do that. The data was simply too huge, and it had already exceeded the limits of the human brain. All they could do now was wait for the results to come out, and then reverse deduce the huge data.

"It has already expanded to 20 million... and there is still no change? Could it be that we are heading in the wrong direction?"

In response to Ikari Fumihiko's question, Akagi Naoko shook her head.

"I don't know."

Although they are at the forefront of research in the field of apostles, there are still too many things they don't understand.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the virtual game entered the last two days of internal testing.

After half a year of development, the virtual game already has nearly 150 million players, and on this day almost all players have logged into their accounts. Even Ikari Fumihiko is no exception. He logged into the game through his computer early on, because today is the day when the Desperate Great Wall event begins, and it is also the last two days until the end of the virtual game's internal testing, and all players do not want to miss this large-scale event.

Especially the cry from the soldiers defending the city in the expansion pack -

Our home is behind us, we have no way to retreat!

It makes everyone's blood boil.

This is a feast for players, and also an experiment that has been carefully prepared for half a year.

War and fighting stimulate players' emotions.

Players who logged into the game could see a huge countdown in the void. As the countdown in the void reached zero, countless ferocious beasts appeared out of thin air outside the Great Wall. The bosses that players had conquered with all their might were everywhere in this sea of ​​monsters, just like random soldiers. Seeing this, many players were nervous and excited at the same time.

The monster tide is surging, and their 150 million players are equally strong!

Just like the last time when the program failed, some overly enthusiastic players jumped directly off the city wall and rushed towards the monster tide with strange screams.

Under the leadership of these players, many players also became excited.

However, having learned from the last lesson of someone dying from jumping off the city wall, the low-level players learned their lesson this time and slid down from the tall city wall using ropes.

The situation got out of control in an instant.

The player's original task was to defend the city walls, but now it has turned into a head-on confrontation between the two armies.

Even some NPCs were inspired by the players' high spirits and rushed down the city wall, shouting and following the players' steps towards the beast tide.

Even Fumihiko Ikari is no exception.

The low-level beasts in the front row were like chickens and dogs in front of the players, and they were almost defeated at the first touch. However, as the charge went deeper and deeper, the beasts became higher and higher in level, and the players' unstoppable momentum gradually dissipated. Only a few top players who had spent a lot of money could still handle it with ease, including the account of Fumihiko Ikari who had spent tens of millions of dollars.

of course……
