Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 321

In the dressing room next to Suzuki Satoru's bedroom, all sorts of exquisitely designed equipment were piled up haphazardly, leaving almost no room to stand.

From cloaks, robes, and crowns—items that Suzuki Satoru could equip—to completely unnecessary items like full-body armor and two-handed greatswords, he had it all.

However, they are now just flashy but impractical junk.

In YGGDRASIL, not only are there extremely high degrees of freedom in terms of professions, races, and skills, but also in terms of equipment.

Although there are some ready-made equipment available, most people still choose to craft their own unique equipment.

The method is also very simple.

By attaching the crystals containing various computer data dropped by monsters to the items you want to wear, you can obtain unique equipment.

Therefore, if they come across equipment with a design they like, many people will buy it and keep it as a spare.

The equipment in front of you is what Suzuki Satoru collected; it doesn't have data crystals installed yet, and it doesn't have any additional attribute bonuses.

Of course, this doesn't prevent you from using it as a regular, unenhanced weapon.

At this moment, Suzuki Satoru looked down at the extravagantly designed giant sword on the ground in front of him, the red dots in his eye sockets flashing between light and shadow, revealing a thoughtful expression.

This weapon was obviously not originally lying on the ground.

It was something that had just fallen from his hands to the ground.

This is precisely why he was so confused and couldn't understand it.

In the game, because he is a pure mage, he does not have the ability to equip greatswords. Specifically, the warrior equipment in his equipment slot will be displayed in red, indicating that it is unusable.

But this is the real world, and logically speaking, this situation shouldn't be possible.

This inexplicable sense of constraint inevitably gives one the illusion that this world is just another game.

"I see. So that's why Xia Yan-san specifically reminded me to check the changes in equipment and world rules, because he anticipated this outcome..."

Suzuki Satoru's slender finger bones rubbed against his sharp jaw, making a creaking sound as his bones rubbed together.

Two days have passed since we traveled to this point, and it is now the evening of the third day.

Although many matters within Nazarick had been assigned to loyal and capable guardians, he himself had not been idle for the past three days.

Instead, he tested most of the magic he possessed and checked his collection of equipment needed to deal with various situations.

After confirming that these most important things were correct, they began testing the various items in YGGDRASIL to see what changes would occur when they came into reality.

This test actually revealed a problem.

"Because he is a dual-class mage and warrior, he can equip any weapon, so that's why he asked me, a pure mage, to do this kind of equipment testing."

"As expected of Xia Yansang, he even guessed something like this. He really has foresight!"

As Xia Yan had predicted, some strange rules appeared, and Suzuki Satoru couldn't help but marvel at his almost prophetic abilities.

Although these were all just his imagination, Xia Yan really just told him to do whatever he wanted.

"However, although we've discovered this, we don't have enough information to deduce why this is happening..."

"Moreover, although the undead do not make me feel tired, I am still somewhat bored with them."

"After all, we've been working for three days and three nights straight."

Because of his undead body, Suzuki Satoru did not experience fatigue, so he was able to delegate the matters concerning Nazarick to his loyal guardians.

But he didn't have a moment's rest during those three days; he worked hard the whole time.

"Seriously, even though there's no longer any boss exploiting me, why am I working even harder than before?! Ugh—I can't take it anymore, I need to take a break!"

"By the way, Sebastian said before that it's now a normal grassland outside, right?"

"I've never seen anything like this in real life! I've heard that rich people play golf on artificial turf with long poles..."

"Alright, I've decided, I'm going to go outside and experience what it feels like to walk on the grass!"

Thinking of this, Suzuki Satoru suddenly became somewhat impatient.

"Tidy up."

After giving instructions to his homunculus maid and refusing her request to follow him, Suzuki Satoru activated the power of the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown and teleported to the first level of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The closest place to the ground that can be reached by teleportation is the ancestral hall in the center of the ground.

He pushed open the door of the ancestral hall alone.

As soon as we left the ancestral hall, we were greeted by a breathtaking and enchanting scene that we had never seen before.

The original location of the Great Tomb of Nazarick in YGGDRASIL was in Helheim, a cold world where it was always dark.

The atmosphere there is so good that even if a ghost suddenly appeared, it wouldn't be surprising at all. The sky is often covered by thick, dark clouds, so you can't see anything.

But now, the scenery has completely changed!

Before me lies a beautiful night sky ablaze with starlight!

"It's so beautiful! It's an incredibly beautiful scene! Blue Planet-san, is this the view you've always longed for? It's truly, truly, truly so moving!"

Suzuki Satoru is not a person who is bad at speaking, otherwise he would not have been able to do the job of a salesman.

But the beautiful scenery before him far exceeded the limits of his imagination, leaving him unable to accurately describe it with any words of praise, to the point that he repeated a few words like a broken record.

"How wonderful! The air is so fresh. If I were born in this world, I could live a good life even without an artificial heart and lungs!"

Because the world had experienced a nuclear war that affected the entire globe, the global environment was polluted, and even the air became toxic.

Without an artificial heart and lungs, breathing alone would be enough to take a person's life.

The pure air he had never experienced before, and the beautiful night sky he had never seen before, instantly reminded Suzuki Satoru of his best friend.

Being able to enjoy beautiful scenery with friends and chat casually like we used to would be wonderful.

"Although Xia Yansang seems to be very rich and powerful in reality, even he probably has never seen such a beautiful night sky!"

"I wonder what progress his research has made!"

"I haven't seen him for three whole days. He must be exhausted! I wonder if he's getting enough rest. I should call him out so he can get some fresh air too!"

"After all, it's important to balance work and rest!"

"I can't believe it," Suzuki said to himself excitedly.

Since Xia Yan left that statement about studying the physiological differences between different races, Suzuki Satoru has not seen him since.

If even an immortal like himself is already feeling weary, then Xia Yan, who is still alive, must be exhausted as well.

With that thought in mind, Suzuki Satoru gently touched the ring on his hand and teleported to the door of Xia Yan's bedroom.

Although according to the setting, Xia Yan, as a dragon guarding treasure, lives in the treasure palace of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, this is actually just a setting.

In fact, he still has his own bedroom on the ninth floor.

Satoru Suzuki once visited Natsuhiko's bedroom in the game.

The interior was even more dazzling than the treasure hall. Even the floor tiles were made of gold bricks, and all kinds of gold and silver treasures were scattered everywhere like garbage from a junkyard, carelessly discarded by people.

Of course, these things are actually just decorations and have no practical use in the game.

I wonder if those decorations will actually turn into gold now...

With these thoughts in mind, Suzuki Satoru knocked on Natsuhiko's door.

"Oh, it's Wu. What's up?"

Not long after, Xia Yan, who had just heard the knocking, pushed open the door and came out shirtless.

Then he casually closed the door again, without any intention of inviting Suzuki Satoru in for a seat.

After all, the battle inside had just ended not long ago, and the current environment was not suitable for receiving guests.

However, Suzuki Satoru wasn't there as a guest, so he didn't mind. He just glanced at the shirtless Natsuhiko and said somewhat apologetically:

"I'm so sorry, I'm Xia Yansang. Did I disturb your rest?"

"No, I just finished work and was just going out for a walk, so is there anything I can help you with?"

“Is that so! That’s good…” Suzuki Satoru breathed a sigh of relief at Xia Yan’s reply. “I just came back from outside. The air was incredibly fresh, and I could see a beautiful, clear night sky! It was a little different from the starry sky on the sixth floor, but it was still very beautiful!”

"So I was thinking of inviting you to go take a look together, or something..."

As he spoke, Suzuki Satoru's voice trailed off, and he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

He suddenly realized that his request might not be appropriate.

Unlike myself, who is immortal and only needs to change my mood, most people should lie in bed and get a good night's sleep after finishing work.

"Okay."

"It's okay, you should get some rest... Huh!? You agreed?"

Suzuki Satoru, who had prepared himself for rejection and had carefully prepared his words, was somewhat surprised, but then a feeling of joy flowed through his body.

"Of course, it's just going out for some fresh air and a breeze, what's so strange about that?"

Xia Yan tilted his head in confusion. Ever since he came to this world, he found that he could never keep up with Suzuki Satoru's thought process.

"No, it's nothing! I'm just so happy. I thought you'd want to rest more after finishing work... But believe me, you won't be disappointed!"

Chapter Thirty: Huaimin Also Did Not Sleep

"By the way, where's Medusa? Aren't you two always inseparable?"

Suzuki Satoru tried to change the subject to ease his awkwardness.

"Hmm... Medusa has been cooperating with me on the research of physiological structure these past few days. She just finished and is very tired, so let her rest well."

Thinking of Medusa, who had the air of a queen, yet was pleading and lying paralyzed on the bed, Xia Yan couldn't help but smile slightly.

He's a giant dragon empowered by the power of hentai!

A mere snake spirit is naturally destined only to assist him in his cultivation.

While chatting, the two used their guild rings to teleport to the central shrine of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The landing site was a rather spacious square, with polished limestone paving the floor. There were also several slender stone tables on the left and right sides used to place the remains, but they were currently empty.

In the game, corpses were actually placed on top as decorations.

It's just a regular data model, with no pitfalls, and it's the same type of data as the gold bricks used to pave the floor in Xia Yan's room.
