After obtaining the divine blood, Xia Jia returned to his room.
Since he had decided to invite members via the “full-dive” game [Familia Myth], he needed to prepare for the “server launch.”
“Since it’s being treated as a game, the newbie tutorial must be arranged, as well as the Player Agreement they need to follow.”
“Also, I need to figure out how to have them complete the ‘Advent’ ceremony.”
“Ugh, how annoying.
Why won’t they believe me when I’m telling the truth?”
Xia Jia gave up struggling and thought seriously:
Completing the Advent magic required a specific anchor—something like a contract.
Xia Jia’s plan was to utilize the “Falna” system of the Astraea Familia.
Essentially, he would use the spatial hole to grant divine blood to the [Familia] in advance, placing them in an inactive [Falna] state, thereby making the [Players] reserve members of the [Astraea Familia].
But the problem arose: since it was a game, he needed to prepare login equipment similar to SAO, and such items had to be purchased through online shopping from the other world.
“That’s not actually difficult.
There are plenty of trend-following figures out there; getting something custom-made is also fine.”
Xia Jia opened the spatial gate, went online, and found an e-store called [Agasa’s General Store] to custom-order two high-quality replicas of SAO helmets, sending one to Dekomori first.
As for the other, he proactively sought someone out.
[Xia Jia: “Kuroneko, Kuroneko, are you there?
Are you there?”]
[Chiba no Datenshi Kuroneko: “The Queen of Nightmares is here!
Present your prayers!”]
[Xia Jia: “Serious business.”]
[Xia Jia: “Regarding the closed-beta test for the game, we need internal testers for the existing game.
Are you interested?”]
[Chiba no Datenshi Kuroneko: “A game tester?
Given the current popularity of full-dive games, they shouldn’t be hard to find, right?
Are you asking for the Queen of Nightmares’ help?
Fufufu, I am caught up in trivial matters and have recently been plagued by the flames of the abyss; I have no time to spare.”]
[Xia Jia: “Is it about cooking for your sisters?
That’s fine.
It’s in the evening, and the initial testing doesn’t take long; it won’t affect you at all.”]
[“Besides, you just need to cooperate with the planners, fix some early-stage bugs, and provide feedback on the game experience.
It’s very easy.”]
[Xia Jia: “The key point is that it pays!”]
[“I’m telling you this secretly; the wages they’re paying are much higher than at the bookstore.
Also, they only have two slots.
The other is just for a casual player experience and has no compensation.”]
Xia Jia decided to use his own royalties to recruit people.
[Chiba no Datenshi Kuroneko: “If Gate Master is sincere in his invitation, it’s not impossible, but…”]
[“Those surrounded by the pitch-black flames are my own kin and cherished loved ones.”]
[Xia Jia: “Understood, tell them to increase the pay!”]
[Chiba no Datenshi Kuroneko: “As expected of my kin, you understand my heart perfectly!”]
Xia Jia smiled slightly.
Sure enough, the “increase the pay” tactic works every time.
After the initial plan failed, Xia Jia changed his approach.
It was clearly unrealistic to have a “bear child” like Dekomori working; that was simply a friendly gift.
Conversely, spending money to find a [staff member] who was willing to cooperate with his testing was crucial.
Xia Jia could use the excuse of testing to have Kuroneko do this and that…
Ahem, he meant squatting in the library to read, experiencing the game, and testing for various bugs.
As for Dekomori’s side, she was there to test the problems that might arise from [Transmigrators] recruited as players.
For example: jumping up and down, climbing over walls to break into people’s houses to open treasure chests, and so on.
Xia Jia didn’t dare underestimate the actions of “sand-sculpture” (troll) players.
Xia Jia believed that with Dekomori’s mischievous personality, she would likely trigger events that even he couldn’t imagine.
“Consider it an ounce of prevention.”
After filling out the address and sending the custom-made helmets to Kuroneko and Dekomori, the three agreed on a test date.
Then, Xia Jia dropped a message in the group saying the slots were filled and logged off.
The group members marveled that there were really idiots falling for it.
Kuroneko revealed that she would post some actual gameplay videos in the group, but Xia Jia rejected this by claiming the “recording function” hadn’t been fully developed yet.
Everyone: “So how did you record the video before?”
Xia Jia snorted coldly.
You didn’t believe me earlier; if I’m going to act, I have to act perfectly.
Come on, let’s hurt each other.
Then he went with the flow: “That was internal permission.”
…
At that moment, the Gotoh residence.
Bocchi-chan stared at the chat group with teary eyes, having been eliminated because she was agonizing over whether it would be rude to rashly ask for a test slot.
“Ugh, I should have asked earlier…”
“No, no, if a stranger who joined the group three years ago suddenly came knocking, she would definitely give me a dirty look and humiliate me to her heart’s content.”
“Even though she organized the group members to spam comments for my videos three years ago, has she forgotten me recently?”
“Maybe I should play ‘Three Years of Inconstancy’ now.”
Bocchi strummed her guitar and began humming.
Damn it, I’m not jealous at all…
…
The Blank residence.
“Nii.
Message.” Find the original chapter at g.com.
Shiro, lying on the floor in an “X” shape, reminded Sora, who was using both hands and feet to control four characters simultaneously.
“Huh, who?”
“Friend?”
“Whose?”
“Nii-nii’s?”
“Ya-ya, how strange; it seems I’ve heard a stinging sarcasm from my cute little sister.” Sora picked his ear with a goofy, flower-filled expression.
Seeing Sora struggling to keep up, Shiro stood up and picked up the tablet.
Sora leaned over and asked: “Who is it, exactly?”
“That strange group…”
“That guy…
I forgot we still had internet friends.” Sora smiled awkwardly.
Xia Jia hadn’t met everyone in the group; many were still just online acquaintances.
But when Sora saw the content of the message, his pupils constricted:
“He actually knows we’re siblings.
We’ve been in the group for three years; this guy has hidden himself well.”
Shiro added: “The test qualifications seem to be all gone…”
Sora’s mouth curled into a smirk: “Heh, this is a provocation.
Imouto-yo, this is a provocation against Blank.
The other party knows so much about us; they must have specifically investigated.
It seems they already picked their scam target a long time ago.”
Shiro tilted her head, her fluffy white hair slightly splayed: “What should we do?”
“Heh, let me test their quality!
As the saying goes, ‘If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch a tiger cub?’ Isn’t it just a game?
As long as I don’t leave this room, how can he scam me?
When the next slots are released, we go in directly!” Sora stood up, looking inspired.
Upon hearing the word “next,” Shiro lay down peacefully:
“Goodnight.”
The next day.
Early morning.
Xia Jia stood before the mirror, trimming his somewhat long bangs, put on a suit of armor he had “borrowed” from Cecil, and grinned at his reflection.
“Yosh!”
“The image is passable enough.”
After admiring himself for a while, Xia Jia began practicing his smile in the mirror.
He needed to act as the Familia Captain—or rather, the deputy captain—with a slightly upright image.
In other words, the guiding NPC.
Although the people coming this time were all acquaintances, that didn’t stop Xia Jia from gaining experience.
A moment later.
Xia Jia stood before the massive magic circle that had been drawn long ago, holding a glowing smartphone in his hand.
Xia Jia closed his eyes and sensed his skill [Wings of Justice] triggering, his magical attributes growing explosively.
100…
200, 500, 700, 800…
“The time has come!”
Xia Jia opened his eyes, extended his palm, and chanted: “Fill.
Fill.
Fill.”
“I am the one who achieves all deeds of virtue in the world; I am the one who punishes all evils in the world.
You are the seven days bound by the three great spirits, come from the wheel of suppression.
Guardian of the Scales—!”
As the incantation was sung, the magic circle emitted a blinding red light.
The spatial hole opened, and the divine blood scattered on the ground drifted in, sinking into the bodies of the girls on the other side.
In an instant.
The light faded, and a puff of white smoke dissipated.
Two petite girls stood in the center of the magic circle.
“The first Servant of the Wicked Lord Shingan, the Thunder Hammer Wielder, Sanae Dekomori!
summoned in accordance with the contract, may I ask, are you my new Master?”
