It had been nearly an hour since Xia Yan arrived in the world of Sword Art Online.
Following his principle of seeking help from the police when faced with difficulties, Xia Yan found the city's police headquarters.
At this moment, Xia Yan was sitting in the office of a high-ranking police official at the headquarters, waiting for them to process his identity documents.
This meant that Xia Yan would have a legal identity in this world.
In the world of Sword Art Online, how could he, a person without any registered identity in any country, easily obtain one?
It was simple.
Memory modification.
The ‘Magic Conversion’ that Xia Yan copied from Yudo Kibou included a method for ‘Memory Modification’.
This was also a low-level magic commonly used by demons.
When summoned by their hosts to complete tasks, demons occasionally encountered unexpected situations.
For example, being discovered by irrelevant bystanders. In such cases, they needed to modify the memories of the bystanders, making them forget about seeing the demons.
Memory modification wasn’t a complex magic, but it was surprisingly useful.
Half an hour ago, Xia Yan arrived at the police headquarters in this city after asking for directions and directly modified the memories of the police officers using ‘Memory Modification’.
Now, most of the procedures were almost finished, and only some minor details remained. He would soon have his identity documents for this world and no longer be a black sheep.
“The identity issue is settled, but my body will be in a sleep state after the game server opens...”
Xia Yan rubbed his temples. There were still many issues to be addressed.
“Forget it, just find a local tycoon.”
Xia Yan decided that he needed to find some people to handle his affairs after logging into the game.
Once he logged into the game, his consciousness would be trapped in SAO, and his body would be in a sleep state. He needed someone to take care of his physical body.
After all, his current physical condition was not beyond the realm of ‘normal’.
He still needed to rely on food to replenish his daily energy.
If he actually died of starvation, that would be a real mess.
Of course, Xia Yan knew that Kayaba Akihiko's method of killing was to use electromagnetic waves in the game helmet to create high temperatures, just like a microwave, instantly incinerating the brains of players inside the helmet.
This method wouldn’t work on him, who possessed the Phoenix’s Fire.
Compared to other players, Xia Yan could forcibly remove the helmet and free his body.
However, Xia Yan was unsure if this method would cause SAO's system to directly delete his game character.
If it were to be deleted, his random mission would be ruined.
Since he didn’t want any accidents to his body when entering the game, Xia Yan decided to find a local tycoon to take care of it.
After all, the conditions in a tycoon’s house were much better than elsewhere.
“Your documents are ready. Here’s your identity card.”
A slightly overweight police officer walked in and respectfully placed a stack of documents in front of Xia Yan.
Xia Yan glanced at the documents and nodded before asking, “Which family is the biggest tycoon here?”
“It’s the Suzuki family, of course. They have a long history and own a publicly listed group with a market value of nearly one trillion dollars.”
The slightly overweight police officer replied.
“Suzuki… such a familiar surname.”
Xia Yan smiled.
Besides certain teachers in his hard drive, this surname was one of the most familiar to Xia Yan.
“Let’s go. Take me to see the head of the family.”
Xia Yan planned to do a major brainwashing and make the Suzuki family his subordinates.
Having such a powerful family as his pawn would be very convenient, whether it was the SAO incident or future events.
After leaving the police headquarters, they drove for about half an hour. The slightly overweight police officer took Xia Yan to a large manor.
“Officer Takahashi, I wonder what brings you here today?”
Someone from the Suzuki family greeted the slightly overweight police officer and Xia Yan.
Soon, an elderly man, about sixty years old, who looked energetic and pampered, came out.
This was the current head of the Suzuki family.
Since the slightly overweight police officer had specifically requested to see the head of the Suzuki family, the head of the family was puzzled. After all, their family rarely interacted with the police headquarters.
If there were any issues, they could just notify their lawyers.
This was the first time someone had visited them specifically to see him.
“This is my master. He wants to see you.”
Officer Takahashi introduced Xia Yan.
The head of the Suzuki family was surprised: “Are you kidding me? It’s true what they say about the Japanese police being a bunch of useless people. You, a senior police officer, actually recognize a student as your master?”
Xia Yan didn’t waste any time and didn’t want to show off in front of others.
He walked forward and directly cast the memory modification magic on the head of the Suzuki family, making him recognize Xia Yan as his master.
“Master, please forgive my rudeness.”
Soon, the memory modification magic took effect, and the head of the Suzuki family immediately knelt before Xia Yan, begging for forgiveness.
“召回你们家族里的重要人物。”
Xia Yan issued his first command.
To control such a powerful family, it wouldn’t be enough to control just the head of the family. He needed to control most of the influential figures.
“请您稍等。”
The head of the Suzuki family was very respectful. He then began issuing notices to call back family members who were still outside.
Over the next period of time, Xia Yan kept using memory modification magic to make the members of the Suzuki family submit to him.
“Master, a few of them are on business trips abroad and can’t return immediately. Please forgive them.”
After the last person was modified, the head of the Suzuki family apologized.
“It’s alright.”
Xia Yan sighed.
The memory modification magic was so useful.
For ordinary people, it was a dimensionality reduction strike.
In just a short while, a family that held significant influence in Japan became his subordinates.
No wonder there was an unspoken agreement between the various gods in the world of High School DxD. Besides developing their believers, they were not allowed to interfere with the development of the human world.
However, breaking this magic was also very simple. With a slight magical interference, it could be deactivated.
Unfortunately, no one in the world of Sword Art Online had magic.
Memory modification magic became Xia Yan's secret weapon.
“Now, do two things for me.”
Xia Yan ordered: “First, get me a set of Sword Art Online game equipment.”
“Second, investigate a person named Sugou Nobuyuki. He should be working for the Yuki family’s company.”
“If you find him, figure out a way to put him in prison.”
