Chapter 61: Freshly Ground Coffee
"Zhao Chen? Dimensional store? Do business? Haha, you said do business? Do you think I won't believe it?!"
Although Kayaba Akihiko wanted to say so, he wisely changed the latter sentence after seeing the card in the other party's hand that was obviously not a product of SAO.
Seeing Kayaba Akihiko so tactful, Zhao Chen smiled and restored a nuclear bomb behind him into a card.
After all, when Zhao Chen went to more than 40 technological worlds to find information carriers, he naturally had to bring back some things. Anyway, with the store behind him, he could bring back as many things as he wanted!
Not to mention this nuclear bomb, he even brought back a lot of spaceships and battleships!
"Ahem, Zhao Chen, the owner, right? Before doing business, I have a few questions to ask." Seeing Zhao Chen put away the nuclear bomb, Kayaba Akihiko coughed a few times, and wanted to put on his shelf as the creator and final boss of SAO.
Faced with such a customer who shines with a little sunshine, Zhao Chen never had the patience to explain anything. He appeared beside him with a teleportation and then forced the membership card into his hand.
Then with a snap of his fingers, Kayaba Akihiko disappeared directly in the Ruby Palace, without a sound or a trace!
Looking at the two dull faces next to him, especially after staying on Kirito for a while, Zhao Chen thought about it, took out another card and teleported it in his hand.
Before Kirito could recover, another snap of his fingers, Kirito and Asuna also disappeared from the Ruby Palace.
So in the BOSS room on the last floor of Aincrad, only Zhao Chen with a strange look was left.
"So this kind of thing is really feasible?!"
Taking out another white membership card, Zhao Chen suddenly felt that he had developed a very interesting skill.
Membership card + owner invitation authority + forced teleportation = customers automatically (forced) come to the door?
Putting away the membership card, Zhao Chen stretched and teleported directly back to the store.
At the same time, the first floor of Aincrad, the starting town.
As the discoverer of the first-level BOSS and the organizer of the strategy meeting, Dierberu was explaining the important points and precautions of the strategy in detail.
Just when he was talking excitedly, a rough voice interrupted Dierberu's speech.
"Wait a minute!"
The appearance of this voice naturally attracted everyone's attention. As the eyes gathered, a player who looked a little old but short, with a small hedgehog head, jumped down from above and came directly to Dierberu.
Such a person suddenly jumped out, and Dierberu was also a little stunned. He didn't know why such a player jumped out.
Looking around at the players around, this hedgehog head looked bitter and vengeful, as if everyone present owed him money.
Just when everyone was talking about what this guy wanted to do after jumping out, the hedgehog head arrogantly stretched out his thumb and pointed at himself: "I'm calling"
Before he finished speaking, many players came running over from outside, all with excited faces.
"Good news, good news! The first-floor BOSS has been defeated, and some players have already reached the second-floor main district [Urbas]!" The first player who rushed in shouted loudly, his excitement was beyond words, and it definitely didn't sound like he was lying!
When everyone heard this, it was too much, whether it was true or not, let's go and have a look first!
So, the venue was empty in an instant, leaving only Hedgehog Head and Dierberu on the stage looking at each other in silence.
Hedgehog Head: My role is gone? I didn't even report my name!
Dierberu: Come on, you've already had a good role, why don't you think about other players and just pass them over!
Dimensional store.
The three people who were sent to the dimensional store by Zhao Chen through forced teleportation were a little confused, especially Kayaba Akihiko and Kirito.
Kayaba: Where is my palace? How can such a big palace just disappear?
Compared to Kayaba Akihiko's confusion, Kirito was more incredulous, because in the past short period of time, he had experienced several reorganizations of his three views, so his ability to accept new things was greatly improved.
Therefore, in the face of such a situation, Kirito first sorted out his thoughts, and then ran directly to the shelf and started to move like shopping in a supermarket.
Asuna looked around, trying to find her sister, but unfortunately she found nothing, which made her a little frustrated.
Well, there are no snacks to eat.
Just when the three people behaved differently, Zhao Chen appeared in the store.
He took out some snacks and put them in Asuna's hands, pointed to the table and asked her to sit down and eat slowly, and then waved to Kayaba Akihiko.
As for Kirito, forget it, it's better to leave a winner like Mr. Kirito for a while.
"Now, do you understand?" Back behind his bar, Zhao Chen took out a cup of coffee and handed it to Kayaba Akihiko, smiling.
Subconsciously taking the coffee, Kayaba Akihiko looked at his reflection in the cup, smiled, and said, "So what you said is true. I thought you were a hacker from outside, but I didn't expect there would really be such a dimensional store."
"Really? So what do you think now?"
Zhao Chen prepared a cup of tea made from real-world tea leaves for himself, and sat down, just like chatting with an old friend, and even clinked cups.
After taking a sip of coffee, Kayaba Akihiko did not answer Zhao Chen's question, but said this to himself.
"I have been having a dream since I was a child. I can no longer remember the other things in the dream, but only the floating castle in the sky has always existed, and it remains vividly in my mind no matter how much time passes. As I get older, the images become more real and expanded, and my yearning for this floating castle becomes stronger and stronger!”
"I don't know when, maybe after I learned about the complete stealth environment system, I started to build the scene in my dream, the extremely vast floating castle in my dream. Then, Aincrad was born. But Facing such a world created by my own hands, I feel like something is wrong, as if I’m looking at a fake!”
"Then, the game started closed beta testing, and it was because of the closed beta testing that I discovered what Aincrad was missing - spirituality! So during the open beta, I changed the process of making the game helmet. After adding a small device, I closed SAO and removed the logout function for all logged-in players. At the same time, in order to prevent them from losing their glory, I gave them a hope that they could go back after clearing SAO. , they will not fall into despair and lose their spirituality!”
Having said this, a smile appeared on Kayaba Akihiko's face, a smile that was bloodthirsty but full of innocence.
After hearing this, Zhao Chen glanced at the coffee in his hand and secretly wiped it with cold sweat. The effect of freshly ground coffee was a little stronger!
That's right, the coffee Kayaba Akihiko drank was not ordinary coffee, but freshly ground coffee brought by Zhao Chen from the real world. He originally wanted to use instant coffee.
As a result, when I was looking for instant coffee, I found freshly ground coffee that had not yet been opened. I made him a cup on a whim. Unexpectedly, the freshly ground coffee came with the effect of ecstasy + truth!
Seeing that Kayaba Akihiko was about to continue speaking, Zhao Chen stretched out his finger and touched his forehead to help him get rid of the ecstasy effect of coffee.
Then, he rubbed the cup in his hand and thought for a long time before saying: "Shopkeeper, I use my one to switch two things. Is it okay?"
