It's been a week since the game. In the end, there was no way to solve the problem from the outside. What's worse is that there is no information coming in from the outside.
It's almost time for players to recognize the facts, but accepting the facts is a crueler blow.
The so-called RPG game is a game that improves one's abilities by constantly dying and gaining experience. Now, if you die, you can't be resurrected, and it is a real death. So who else is willing to go to a dangerous area and just stay safe in the town
But Kayaba Akihiko gave him hope that he could return to reality as long as he cleared the 100th floor.
In just six days, when most players were still wandering in despair, the teleportation array leading to the second floor had been opened in the city, which meant that the first floor had been cleared.
A beam of light shines into the darkness, allowing players to see hope and strengthen their direction. At the same time, in addition to the information released by Ye You, there is also a printed version of "Aincrad Strategy" circulating, which contains some details and techniques that Ye You does not have, which complement each other and allow players of the new book to adapt to the mechanics of SAO more quickly. .
It has to be said that humans are very habit-forming animals. When the first layer lights up, leading to the upper teleportation array, it is like a tonic injected into the body, allowing players to rekindle their fighting spirit.
Just like a fire was lit, players began to take action one after another, looking for partners, gathering teams, leaving the town, overcoming fear, fighting monsters, and slowly began to form the prototype of a guild. What might have taken two months to adjust was miraculously reduced to one week.
However, half of the players are still staying in the starting town, waiting for outside rescue players. Fortunately, the starting town occupies about one-two-tenth of the size of the first floor. It is said to be comparable to a community in Tokyo. Even if five thousand people live at the same time, it will not be crowded.
Their approach is very consistent with human survival instincts. Even if they put aside the need to fight with their lives, everything here is fiction to them. Those who sit on chairs or lie on beds in the outside world are the ones breathing. true self. Why do we have to work in a fantasy world made of data
Second floor, Urbas.
This is a city located on a mountain. The ring-shaped mountain with a diameter of about 300 meters is hollowed out in the middle, leaving only the outer towns. Viewed from the grassland five thousand meters away, it has a very majestic and exotic visual effect.
In addition to the fixed NPCs, there are also more and more people on the street.
As soon as Ye You logged into the game and saw the black cat, he greeted him warmly, as if nothing had happened. This made Black Cat raise his eyebrows, and he was not in a very good mood. He always felt that all the preparations he had made for so many days were in vain. This made Ye You very happy.
At this moment, everyone gathered and prepared to go to the practice area to brush monsters. Time is only one year, very tight.
"There are really only more than five hundred people here?" Kong asked with a pale face as he looked at the crowded streets. This kind of street full of people is really difficult to deal with. When he was on the first floor, he used the excuse of upgrading to stay in the rare elite monster area.
"Brother... here is... the game..." Bai Ye tightly grasped Sora's sleeves and performed intense self-hypnosis.
Kong hammered his right fist on his left palm, then pushed down and raised both palms, giving Bai a happy slap, "Yes, this is a game world, there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, we are still here Lying on the tatami at home."
Asuna and Neet Ji were behind, and they were always together. Asuna had a little understanding of Neet Ji's unwillingness to lose to Blank in games. But I witnessed her solo boss fight last time. If I PK here, I might be able to win.
So he poked the princess on the shoulder with his elbow: "neet Ji, why don't you do the PK here?"
"Not sure." Neet Ji simply replied.
In this world, even if you have a moment of power, your body made of data codes cannot keep up with your thoughts. Moreover, the two people she wanted to defeat were the two of them. If it was just one of them, it would be meaningless. neetJi Hong has great ambitions, but what he wants to defeat is blank space!
Therefore, before she found an absolute chance of victory, neetji no longer wanted to experience the taste of defeat.
As always, we came to the practice area.
Neet Ji is already level 15. If there was a level ranking, she would definitely be number one. The first level of Aincrad is more suitable for levels 1 to 10. If you upgrade it upwards, the experience points provided by monsters will not be enough, and it will take a lot of time and energy, which is not worth the gain. But because Neet Ji single-played the boss, the level suddenly reached level 15.
The practice area on the second floor is not as cold as the first floor. Most of those who are willing to come to the second level do so to conquer this game.
But they are different from Ye You, full of tension before the battle. Just from the tightness of their arms holding the handle of the sword, it can be seen how determined they are to fight for their lives.
At the same time, these players are also extremely cautious, and most of them follow the principles of double standards and high levels. Double standard means that a monster that can be faced by one person requires two people to go together; high level means that one's own level must be higher than the monster's level.
Facing such cautious people, Ye You and the others did not laugh at them at all, but instead showed deep respect. Because, in every battle they fought, they were literally risking their own lives. Even if they were forced to fight, they still had a consciousness that ordinary people could not imagine.
"Hey, sister, why do I feel a little ashamed?" Looking at the players who were moving forward cautiously, Kong suddenly stopped.
"... Hmm... I feel the same way." Bai nodded expressionlessly.
"What shame?" Black Cat didn't seem to understand what Blank was talking about. Ye You and Neet Ji were silent.
"Look, this virtual stealth that completely embodies the real world may not be accessible to me in my lifetime, but I am actually standing here now." Sora opened his arms, took a deep breath, and simulated the data The fragrance fills your nose.
"...?" Black Cat looked at Blank with a puzzled face. Asuna stopped next to Neet Ji and cast a puzzled look on her face.
"Isn't this an unprecedented gift?" Sora opened his hands as if to embrace the world. He once regarded games as his entire life, and will continue to do so now and in the future. He slowly closed his eyes and said calmly:
"How lucky I am to be able to enter such a world in my lifetime, the world of games! But I cowardly hide in a safe place, use insincere means, and uphold a consciousness that even ordinary players cannot match. , but shamelessly carry out this game feast."
Sora and Byaku's eyes met, and they suddenly laughed.
He continued: "I'm really ashamed!"
"Uh... What on earth do you want to say." Black Cat looked into the blank eyes, and the light shining in them made her freeze on the spot.
"I'm no longer a human being!"
Blank said in unison.
"Sorry, sorry! I always wanted to say this line, so I couldn't hold it back." Sora hugged the back of his head and laughed.
Then he looked at Ye You seriously: "I want to be like them, carrying death on my back and moving forward in this world before the strategy is completed."
Sora and Shiro, and Sora said this: "If you die, then you are dead."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Black Cat couldn't understand Blank's behavior. Someone would actually put their life on the tightrope.
Asuna also had a look of astonishment on her face. What blank means is that you need to take the initiative to add a microwave radiation device yourself? If someone dies here, will he die in reality
"Although I have thought about this possibility, I didn't expect you to make such a decision so soon." Ye You smiled.
"Can it be done?"
"Although I really want to say no, lying at this time is tantamount to tainting your consciousness. So yes!"
Hearing the words of affirmation, a pure smile couldn't help but appear on Blank's face.
