Chapter 4228: The God-Level Technology Developed by Kayaba Akihiko

Yabu: "Tsk!"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Full of confidence."

"

Onikshia: "This might be... the confidence of a top-tier guild master."

"

Batman: "......"

Batman thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Batman: "Too troublesome... and besides, our side doesn't have the Dark Forest Doctrine like the Three-Body side!"

Batman: "Our universe's civilizations can communicate with each other from the start... losing uniqueness, even if development is possible, isn't worth the cost."

Senjou Kishin: "Shivering."

"

Akasaka Ryūnosuke: "Now... you're already thinking of turning the entire Earth into a cosmic trading port? Meanwhile, I'm still holed up in a tiny student dorm in East Japan—I'm embarrassing the guild."

Asuna: "I'm embarrassing the guild too."

Kayaba Akihiko: "People are inherently different! The key is to find the path and state most suited to yourself."

Kayaba Akihiko was... extremely carefree, teaching guild members with his own lived experience.

Kayaba Akihiko: "Take the simplest example—if I kept comparing myself to Tony Stark in science... I'd probably still be miserable today."

"I might even fail to reach my own potential, because my mindset couldn't handle it."

TonyIsNotTheRichest: "To be honest, that's true."

Tokisaki Kasumi: ""

Shazam: "I've never seen such an audacious, shameless person."

Morgan Stark: "......"

TonyIsNotTheRichest: "Cough... cough..."

Seeing his own daughter appear, Tony Stark's expression turned awkward.

After a brief pause, he quickly changed the subject.

TonyIsNotTheRichest: "Alright! Kayaba, I'm curious... how far have you taken the science in your world lately?"

Kayaba Akihiko: "... Roughly speaking... turning the virtual network into humanity's second world!"

Kayaba Akihiko took a sip of coffee, his face filled with nostalgia.

Kayaba Akihiko: "Now, nearly every nation has shifted its focus entirely to the virtual network... because resources there are vast beyond imagination, and resources extracted from it can be directly transferred to the real world."

The guild fell into a brief silence, then erupted.

Many guild members doubted they'd heard correctly.

TonyIsNotTheRichest: "What the fuck!"

Sardex: "Virtual world... extracting resources... into the real world..."

After clarifying it, Sardex fell silent for a moment, then launched into furious ranting.

Sardex: "If you can extract resources into the real world, this isn't a virtual world—it's a real alternate dimension!"

Gudako: "Indeed, the guild is full of hidden dragons and tigers."

"Deeply moved."

"

Yagami Taichi: "... Hard."

Yagami Taichi's eyes flickered; he suddenly thought of something.

Kayaba Akihiko: "Yes... thank you. I relied on studying your world's Digital Entity Manifestation to truly master this technology... and thus freed our world entirely from resource constraints."

"I, too, relied on studying the digital materialization technology of your world! Only then did I truly master this technology... thereby freeing our world completely from the constraints of resources."

The corner of Kayaba Akihiko's mouth curved into a smile.

Kurogami Mekiri: "One of the most important reasons humans must venture into outer space is... insufficient resources... but if resources were limitless, humans could remain on Earth and develop technology beyond imagination."

Ogino Yuki: "So, no one's curious... about what position Kayaba Akihiko holds on that... Earth, the one who pioneered this virtual reality technology?"

Sasaki Haruhi: "No need to guess—he's either an unprecedented great figure, or he's been placed directly on a divine pedestal."

Sasaki Haruhi's expression was calm.

Asuna: "Kayaba-sensei's reputation outside is indeed very high, but... no one ever sees him in person—he's terrifyingly reclusive."

Yuki Nishikigi silently muttered a complaint.

Kayaba Akihiko: "Being worshipped outside is less interesting than continuing research."

Echizen Ryoma: "Too terrifying."

Echizen Ryoma: "I'm still playing tennis, shivering and afraid to speak."

Echizen Ryoma bit his lower lip.

Other-world guild members were all this powerful—it made someone like me, living an ordinary, relaxed life, feel utterly uncomfortable just popping up in the guild.

Ryūnō Nagi: "Don't overthink it—living an ordinary daily life is the norm for guild members."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "No choice—whether it's Kayaba Akihiko or Luo Ji, they're both geniuses of their own civilizations. With guild support, achieving this isn't difficult."

And with the support of the guild, none of this was difficult to accomplish."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "But we're just ordinary people! Since we're ordinary, we should just do what ordinary people should do."

Sakuragi Hanamichi: "Black Cat-san is an ordinary person? An ordinary person who can obliterate Earth—or even the Sun—with one strike?"

Elnestdi: "Yes! Truly ordinary. So ordinary that real ordinary people are left speechless."

So ordinary that a truly ordinary person would be left speechless."

Aikawa Bu: "You're not ordinary either! Just shut up."

Su Han looked at the bustling crowd inside the society and shook his head with a helpless laugh.

Shifting his gaze away from inside the society, he looked toward the society's anime library.

After browsing new shows for a while... Su Han got up and went out for a stroll.

He came back for dinner, and just as he was about to fall asleep, someone inside the society suddenly @'d him.

"... It's so late, what's going on?"
