This was something Luo Zhen only heard about later.
It is said that after Kayaba Akihiko's death game was announced, except for a very small number of players, the rest of the players could be said to be very panicked and even completely fell into madness.
Some of them kept yelling, some kept crying, and some even vented their emotions on the others, causing conflicts with each other, and even attacking NPCs in the town. It can be said that they did everything possible.
Fortunately, in the circle, all direct criminal behavior is not allowed. Although the players did a lot of outrageous things, they were unable to cause substantial harm. After a period of chaos, they finally calmed down. Come down.
This is really something to be thankful for.
If there were no prohibition on crime in the circle, the starting town would definitely become a chaotic and dark area, allowing panicked and crazy players to do all kinds of unscrupulous things. This is human nature.
Thanks to the operation of the prohibition of crime instructions, players are no longer able to cause excessive behavior, and can only be forced to recognize the reality.
Of course, after being forced to recognize the reality, the players were completely divided into different factions.
Specifically, it is because of different action concepts that polarized approaches were adopted.
First of all, because they are afraid of death, they have been hiding in the starting town, neither upgrading nor completing tasks, but just waiting for external rescue.
Now, in the real world, the government and related personnel must have caused chaos because 10,000 players have been completely imprisoned in the game world, and their bodies can only lie in bed wearing helmets and become vegetative. They are doing their best. We should work hard to rescue all players.
As long as you continue to stay here and wait for a while, people outside will definitely be able to rescue everyone.
"After all, this is just a game. It's impossible for the country to not be able to solve a game, right?"
Most players hold on to this idea, or it can be said to be expectations and hopes, and have always stayed in a safe circle without any intention of going out.
Unfortunately, this idea was completely shattered soon after.
That's not just because they haven't been able to wait for rescue for a long time, but also because of a more practical problem: not enough money.
Even in this world, players still have two physiological needs.
One is sleep.
One is appetite.
Because even if the body is virtual, the brain is still functioning, and other physiological needs will not be reproduced. Only mental fatigue cannot be eliminated, and it is natural to want to sleep.
Although there is a hotel here that can provide players with a rest, they need to pay Kol.
In addition, the appetite is also present.
Although people cannot imagine that if they eat in this world, they will be full in the real world, but in fact, after eating imaginary food in the game, the feeling of hunger will disappear and you will feel full.
On the other hand, as long as you don't eat, the feeling of hunger will never disappear. Even if your HP will not be reduced due to not eating, being tortured by hunger will still make people crazy. Therefore, players You still have to spend a certain amount of Cole every day to buy food at roadside stalls or restaurants run by NPCs.
Both needs cost money to solve.
Under such circumstances, players can only use the starting funds they have at the beginning of the game to survive. It is not until all the money is spent that they are finally forced to take action.
It is this forced action that sets players on different paths.
Some are still afraid of the monsters outside the main street and dare not go out to fight monsters to earn experience points and money. They can only run some tasks with extremely low returns in the starting town, or rely on some other means to survive the difficult journey. day.
Some plucked up the courage and finally walked out of the streets and began to fight against the monsters.
Others have completely gone to the point of no return and started to engage in illegal activities, such as fraud, coercion, or simply attacking players outside the circle, and making money by any means necessary.
This is the current situation of sao players today.
Only a very small number of players have set goals from the beginning.
That is, according to Kayaba Akihiko's declaration, he is preparing to completely conquer Aincrad.
"As long as you master the game, you will be liberated."
A small number of players who recognized this condition took up arms and, like Luo Zhen and Kirito, began to explore the world in order to improve their level.
Of course, there are also selfish closed beta players who are ahead of everyone and grab limited resources for their own ideas.
Thanks to this…
"That's what you want to do?"
Luo Zhen looked around him, looking unmotivated.
This is the outdoor training area on the first floor of Aincrad.
The time was 5 pm, almost evening time.
At this time, Luo Zhen was on his way back to the nearest town.
Until just now, he was still working hard to level up and spawn monsters. He hadn't even eaten lunch yet, so he checked the loot when it was almost dark, and then prepared to go to the town and have a good meal. Treat your tummy to a treat.
However, just as Luo Zhen was about to return to the nearest town, a group of people stopped him.
"With a swallowtail that can sprinkle phosphorus powder, and a one-handed swordsman without a shield, you are that Luo Zhen, right?"
The person who said such a sentence was a man who looked fierce, holding a scimitar in his hand, and glaring at Luo Zhen, as if he had a deep hatred for Luo Zhen.
There were a few teammates scattered around the man, and all of them looked at Luo Zhen with hatred in their eyes, holding various weapons in their hands.
And their words were quite harsh.
"Don't even try to deny it!"
"Are you the beta tester!?"
"hateful!"
"It's all because of you selfish beta testers that we ended up like this!"
Players one after another shouted.
In this regard, Luo Zhen just sighed secretly in his heart.
This is not the first time he has encountered such a thing.
A few days after sao's death was gamified, many players finally walked out of the town and came outside.
As Kirito had expected, Luo Zhen was inevitably recognized after appearing in the main street.
Then, things started to get out of hand.
Those ordinary players who had resentment against the closed beta players began to target Luo Zhen when they could not find other closed beta players.
Until now, almost a month has passed since the game started, and Luo Zhen is still annoyed by being harassed.
"You are already the seventh group of people to block me in the outdoor practice area."
Luo Zhen spoke impatiently.
"I don't have that much time to spend with you. If you don't give way, don't blame me for being rude."
Saying this, Luo Zhen put his hands on his waist.
There, there is a sword "Sword of Tenacity" stored in a red scabbard.
However, compared to a month ago, this sword has changed significantly. Even the hilt of the sword exudes a slight brilliance, which is very eye-catching.
This is a phenomenon that will only appear after sufficient strengthening.
Therefore, it can no longer be called the "Sword of Tenacity".
〈Sword of Tenacity +8〉.
This is Luo Zhen's current main weapon.
