"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses high, clinked them with each other, and couldn't hide their smiles on their faces.

“You did a great job this time.”

Holding the wine glass, Fang Zheng smiled and nodded at Kasumigaoka Utaha and Yamada Fairy while looking at them. During the days when Fang Zheng was working hard in the main world, other worlds were still carrying out their own actions. For example, Fang Zheng was now attending the celebration party for the novel "Sword Art Online". This novel, co-written by Yamada Fairy and Kasumigaoka Utaha, received attention from all levels of society as soon as it was released.

After all, this novel is more of a record or biography than a novel. The two use multi-perspective switching, through the records and combinations of different players, to show readers how a group of young people in that world full of death mustered up the courage, fought tenaciously to the end, and gained the spirit and legend of victory.

Human beings are naturally curious, not to mention that the novel "Sword Art Online" was advertised as "perfectly presenting the world of death games" when it was first released, which made many people itch to read it. Coupled with the cooperation between Yamada Elf and Kasumigaoka Utaha, this book directly topped the Japanese bestseller list as soon as it was released, and even had many readers overseas.

"Of course, don't you see who I am? I am the Yamada Fairy."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Yamada the Fairy smiled and patted her chest, while Kasumigaoka Utaha next to her glanced at her silently.

"It's not big to begin with, if you take more pictures, it will shrink."

"What did you say?! Say it again if you can?!"

Looking at the two people bickering in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled and shook his head. In fact, the reason why this book sold so well was, on the one hand, because the two people were indeed very capable, and on the other hand, it was also due to political needs.

That's right. You have to know that because of the death game world, the Japanese government in this world has been criticized a lot at home and abroad. Just like Fang Zheng thought, you didn't even check that this helmet can roast the human brain, but you put it on public sale. If this doesn't cause trouble for you, who else can you blame?

Although the government fired a large number of officials to appease public anger, it is obviously not that easy, and the government's approval rating is also in jeopardy. Therefore, they are eager to find something to divert public attention. The publication of the Sword Art Online novel just gave the Japanese government an opportunity.

The content of this novel is quite positive and does not touch upon any negative things. Of course, although it also describes the anxiety and fear of people being trapped in the game world, the theme is still the positive energy of struggle and hard work to move forward.

Of course, if the content of this novel is purely fictional, then it will not have any effect. But every story in this novel is adapted from real events, and every character has its original form. Not to mention that the game company still retains the game data and records.

Therefore, apart from some personal privacy parts that cannot be verified, the rest can be directly verified by calling up the game records. Because of this, the "authenticity" of this novel will not be questioned at all.

Precisely because of this "authenticity", "Sword Art Online" has also received strong support from the government. They also urgently need this "humanistic spirit" to divert public attention, no longer focusing on the government's mistakes in this regard, but focusing on people's own courage and perseverance.

So with the secret support of the government, various TV programs about "Sword Art Online" appeared one after another, which vigorously promoted the novel, and the results were quite good. After all, public opinion and the people only remember to eat and not to be punished. Moreover, the novel "Sword Art Online" itself can stand the test. In addition, the prototypes of the characters in it also exist, so it soon formed a wave of nationwide pursuit.

Of course, Fang Zheng has his own considerations for choosing to cooperate with the government.

Japan is a homogenous country with a strong sense of community, and because of this, various bullying and exclusion incidents are very prominent. Especially after the death game incident, although many people were successfully rescued, they were ostracized by the entire society. Even within the school, this is why a school was eventually built specifically to accommodate these death game victims.

Although the death game incident ended successfully, the whole society is not tolerant of these players. Japanese society is similar to China, and does not think that playing games is a glorious thing, let alone such a big thing. Therefore, many people in society believe that those game players are to blame for their own mistakes. If they did not play games and were not addicted to them, they would not fall into such a disaster.

There are even some radical people on the Internet who believe that these gamers should all die collectively, because it is because of their existence that this kind of thing happened, which not only caused trouble for the government, but also brought shame to the entire country.

Because of this, the mainstream social opinion at that time was quite unfriendly to these gamers, not to mention that because they had been dormant for two years, wasting two years of time, it also caused many problems in their own interpersonal circles.

Just like Eriri, she was originally in her second year of high school, but when she came back from the game world, her friends were already in college...

Social exclusion, pressure from public opinion and loss of their social circles have caused many survivors to bear tremendous pressure.

Of course, there are also people who don't care about these things. For example, Sophie said that she lives her life as usual and doesn't care what people say. And Gabriel even hopes to stay in the game world for a few more years...

But these are a minority after all.

Therefore, Founder has teamed up with the government to turn these survivors into "heroes" to reverse public opinion and the situation. Fortunately, judging from the current hot sales and heated discussions of "Sword Art Online", they have perfectly achieved their goals. Public opinion no longer pays attention to the government's negligence in the game incident, and those survivors have been successfully portrayed by the media as heroes who have fought and returned triumphantly.

Some entertainment companies even plan to look for players from "Dark Moon Sword" and create an idol group based on their image...

“You did a great job this time.”

Looking at Yamada Fairy and Kasumigaoka Utaha, Fang Zheng did not hesitate to praise them. After all, although he gave the main direction of "Sword Art Online", Fang Zheng did not care how to write it. What he did not expect was that Yamada Fairy and Kasumigaoka Utaha did not choose a certain character as the protagonist, but adopted a group drama mode that used different players' perspectives to advance the plot!

This attempt was bold, but also successful. Now some people are discussing the issue of the film and television adaptation rights of "Sword Art Online".

Of course, forget about the game copyright...

"What are your plans next?"

“It’s not confirmed yet.”

The fairy and Fang Zheng obviously had a closer relationship, so she answered first with a smile.

"But next I plan to write a long light novel, so that those guys can see that I, Yamada Fairy, am still the best-selling light novel writer!"

In comparison, Kasumigaoka Utaha's thoughts were calmer.

"I plan to continue my studies and then write a romance novel... I have benefited a lot from this experience, and I think I can go further on this basis."

"Since you have made up your mind, just go for it."

After hearing the two people's answers, Fang Zheng didn't say anything else.

"If you have any difficulties or need anything, please feel free to contact me. I will definitely help you wherever I can."

The atmosphere of the celebration party was extremely lively. After all, in addition to the two protagonists, many related personnel also came to the scene, including many members of the Dark Moon Sword Guild. Fang Zheng also chatted with them for a long time. In the end, the celebration party ended successfully, and everyone said goodbye and went home.

only……

"Ms. Kasumigaoka?"

After finishing the rest of the things, Fang Zheng walked out of the hotel. What he didn't expect was that Kasumigaoka Utaha was standing at the door in a daze, looking up at the sky in front of her, as if in a trance. When she heard Fang Zheng's voice, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Ah, it's Mr. Fang Zheng."

"It's so late... Why haven't you gone home yet? Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, but..."

Having said that, Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, then she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, would you like to go out for a few drinks with me?"
