Level 1 players only have two skill slots.
This is something that has been mentioned before.
It is not until level 6 that players will add a third skill grid. Before that, they can only use two skills, only less, not more.
Of Luo Zhen's two skill slots, one of them has been occupied by "Flying Sword". The remaining skill slot was originally planned to be filled in after purchasing the Rainbow Butterfly, but now that he has chosen the one-handed sword As a weapon, Luo Zhen naturally had to set up the "One-Handed Sword" skill, otherwise he would have to use the flying sword skill.
Both skill grids are weapon skills.
Such a combination should be quite rare among low-level players, right
If you are an ordinary player, you will only choose one weapon skill, and the other skill is either a production system or a passive system that can assist in combat. If you choose two weapon skills, it means that the player can only improve one of them. The proficiency and power of skills, after all, no matter what kind of player they are, they cannot wear two different types of weapons at the same time.
The same goes for Kirito.
After using "One-Handed Sword" as his main skill, the second skill Kirito chose was "Searching for Enemies".
As the name suggests, this is a skill used to spot enemies.
Players who have set up this skill can improve their ability to identify enemies. Not only can they increase the chance of discovering enemies to a certain extent, but they can also gain abilities such as night vision, provided that the skill proficiency meets the requirements.
Having acquired this skill, Kirito is better than ordinary players at discovering traces of enemies. After entering the forest, he frequently finds the red cursors of monsters, which Luo Zhen avoids.
However, even if he did not avoid it, Luo Zhen would not be approached by the monster.
The reason is simple.
"Woo! Gooo!"
The rainbow butterflies flying around Luo Zhen would frequently make such calls when Luo Zhen was approaching monsters that he had not discovered yet.
That is the unique characteristics of some familiars with relatively high perception to detect enemies.
In other words, even without the "Seek Enemy" skill, Luo Zhen can get the warning from the rainbow butterfly and know that an enemy is nearby.
Under such circumstances, even though he knew that SAO had become a death game, Kirito still couldn't help but cast envious glances.
"It's really much more convenient to have a familiar. You don't even need to waste skill points, you can just use the familiar instead."
Kirito said this with envy.
pity…
"I can only know that there are enemies nearby. Without the "Seek Enemy" skill, I can't see the monster's cursor, let alone where the monster is."
Luo Zhen answered this while pulling out the worn on his waist from its scabbard.
because…
"Then let me, who has the skill "Search for Enemies", tell you."
Kirito pointed forward.
"There is a monster there, and it is our target. The cursor is a bit thick red."
Although the monster's cursors are all red, players can roughly judge the enemy's strength based on the intensity of the color.
If it is a monster whose level is much higher than yours and cannot be defeated no matter how hard you try, the cursor on its head will display a dark red color thicker than blood.
If the level is much lower than yours, and no amount of experience points can be gained by killing more monsters, then the cursor will be light pink, almost white.
Enemies with similar levels are represented by true red. Darker than red means a bit dangerous, and lighter than red means relatively safe.
Kirito was referring to the former.
There are monsters ahead that are somewhat too dangerous for the two of them at their current levels.
As he got closer, Luo Zhen also saw the other party.
Small man-eating plant.
This is the monster's official name.
The name obviously contains a small monster, but the opponent is one and a half meters tall, and its appearance is just as the name says, it is a grass, with the body of a pitcher plant, and the lower body is made of countless moving trees. The roots are wriggling, and there are curly vines with sharp leaves on the left and right sides. The head is a large predatory mouth, which is constantly dripping mucus between opening and closing.
The level of the piranha is level 3, and the cursor is naturally darker than red.
Considering safety issues, the two should avoid such monsters.
However, just like Kirito said, the other party is the mission target of both of them.
Luo Zhen immediately looked at the opponent's head.
The mission props of Luo Zhen and Kirito are the ovules of small man-eating plants.
It is only dropped from flowering man-eating plants.
If the opponent is a monster that drops ovules, there should be flowers on its head.
Luo Zhen stared at the opponent, but Kirito, who had the "Seek Enemy" skill, saw through the target first.
"That's not what we want."
This is the answer.
"Sure enough, it's not that easy."
Luo Zhen shrugged.
Among all small man-eating plants, the appearance rate of flowering parts is probably less than 1%. Otherwise, the reward for this mission would not be a weapon with such high performance.
It is because the mission objectives are difficult to appear that the mission rewards are so high.
In the past, in order to complete this task, some unlucky players hunted here for three full days and finally gave up.
As a player who has done this mission before, Kirito naturally knows this.
but…
"As long as you keep knocking down ordinary small man-eating plants, the chance of the flower version appearing will increase."
Kirito stared at the small man-eating plant walking slowly on the ground and spoke in a lowered voice subconsciously.
"Furthermore, the level of small man-eating plants is level 3. As long as we keep defeating them here, the experience value will increase a lot. If we stay up a little bit late, it shouldn't be a problem to reach level 5 before dawn."
This efficiency is quite high.
You know, the most suitable level for level 1 is level 1-10.
Once this level is exceeded, the experience points gained at this level will be hopelessly low.
Therefore, during the closed beta period, players formed a large-scale attack alliance at levels 5-7 to challenge the defensive boss. After several attacks, the door to the second level was opened.
If you can upgrade to level 5 overnight, how can this efficiency be low
certainly…
"With benefits comes danger, right?" Luo Zhen said nonchalantly: "Not to mention the monsters here are higher level than us. In addition to the flower version that is the mission target, there will be another one with the same probability. A man-eating plant with a round fruit. If the fruit is accidentally attacked during a battle, it will burst with a loud sound and emit smoke, gathering all the man-eating plants in the surrounding area, right?"
It goes without saying what the consequences will be if you are surrounded by a group of monsters with a higher level than yourself.
Kirito also knew that Luo Zhen didn't need his reminder at all, but it still couldn't help but say a few words.
no way.
"If you die, mom, Xiaozhi and I will not feel comfortable."
With such a whisper behind, Kirito took one step ahead of Luo Zhen and rushed forward.
Looking at Kirito like this, Luo Zhen was silent.
"Goooo!"
At this time, the rainbow butterfly made a warning sound.
I saw, in another direction, a second small piranha approaching at a slow pace.
"call…"
Luo Zhen exhaled and clenched the bronze one-handed sword in his hand.
"bring it on!"
Under Luo Zhen's shout, the small piranha roared and rushed over.
