That night.
Torbanane presented a lively atmosphere that had never been seen before.
This time is originally a time for players to relax after returning from the maze area and returning to the town.
Today, in order to support tomorrow's strategy battle, a total of sixty players gathered in a relatively high-end restaurant to have a good meal.
Although there was still some bad blood between the closed beta players and the general players, it was not as tense as before. The two sides gathered in a restaurant to embolden themselves for tomorrow's battle.
Even Kirito, who had always insisted on walking alone, and Argo, who would not appear in public, blended into the crowd and comforted each other with the other beta testers.
Of course, Luo Zhen was also among them, and he was toasted by the beta testers one by one.
"I'm so sorry, Luo Zhen."
"Feel sorry."
"Before, you were asked to shoulder all the blame for us closed beta players."
"I'm really sorry."
One by one, the closed beta players apologized to Luo Zhen, only to receive disapproving words from Luo Zhen.
"If you really feel sorry for me, then try harder tomorrow."
Luo Zhen just said this sentence, which made all the beta testers burst into laughter.
It can be imagined that these beta testers must have been extremely tortured in their hearts during this month, and it was only now that they finally relaxed, causing many of them to shed tears.
"Those guys who didn't come will definitely regret it, right?"
"Everyone is so cowardly. They deserve to miss the scene where our testers are cleared of their crimes."
"Don't say that, they're not having it easy either."
"makes sense."
The beta testers were having this conversation one by one.
Luo Zhen can also understand their thoughts.
As Argo said before, even the closed beta players are still strong and weak. Some of them made it all the way to the 10th floor under the leadership of Luo Zhen, while others are still active on the 1st floor. , resulting in rather limited intelligence and knowledge.
Therefore, among the closed beta players, there are those who are ahead of everyone from the beginning and become top players like these people here, but there are also those who work hard to survive like the rest of the players, and finally integrate into the general players, and can no longer be included. Any type of advantage.
Although the beta testers listed in the list given to Argo by Luo Zhen were all the top players at the time, these players may not want to muddy the waters and have successfully integrated into the general players, or for various reasons, People who don’t want to come.
No matter what, they missed today's feast and will regret it in the future, that's for sure.
I believe that after what happened today, the treatment of closed beta players should be somewhat better, right
At least, in this top player group, the closed beta players will no longer be like rats crossing the street, but can walk on the street with their heads held high.
"The premise is that tomorrow's strategy battle can be successful."
Argo added this, and all the closed beta players, including Kirito, nodded.
However, the closed beta players present were more relaxed than the average players.
The reason is also very simple.
"If Luo Zhen is here, at least the boss on the first floor won't be a problem, right?"
"Nai Die is now at level 13. In addition to the paralysis skill, he also has the blindness skill. It should be enough to deal with the boss on the first floor, right?"
"It's up to you, little one."
"It's all on you."
The closed beta players all praised the rainbow butterfly one by one, and even gave it some precious nectar, juice, dew and other props to feed it.
"Goo! Goooo!"
The rainbow butterfly flew happily in the air, flapping its wings and dancing in the sprinkled phosphorus powder.
The beautiful scene won applause and cheers from the closed beta players, but it also made the average players unable to take their eyes away, looking at Luo Zhen with a certain amount of envy and jealousy in his eyes.
Luo Zhen ignored these sights, and while letting the rainbow butterfly play with everyone, he came to the wall, leaned there, and looked at the scene in front of him.
"Tomorrow?"
Thinking of tomorrow's strategy battle, Luo Zhen recalled the memories from the closed beta period in his head.
"I remember the first layer defensive boss during the closed beta period was..."
Luo Zhen recalled these and began to organize various tactics and countermeasures in his mind.
until…
"Can I stand next to you?"
Such a voice woke up Luo Zhen, who was immersed in thinking, and made Luo Zhen raise his head and look aside.
"It's you?"
After seeing clearly who was coming, Luo Zhen was slightly surprised.
The visitor is Diabel.
The man who shouldered the command task with Luo Zhen and was also the initiator of this offensive battle raised the cup in his hand and smiled at Luo Zhen.
"Sorry, seeing you here alone, I couldn't help but want to come over and talk to you."
With such a sentence as his preface, Diabel turned his head and looked at the beta testers who were cheering and clapping around the dancing rainbow butterflies, and his eyes began to twinkle.
"Seriously, I admire you."
Diabell suddenly said this.
Luo Zhen did not reply, but chose to listen quietly to what Diabel said.
Because, at this moment, Diabel's expression was no longer as refreshing and cheerful as it was during the day, but full of bitterness.
"I always thought that if it were me, I would be able to lead the players well, lead the top players in this town to conquer the first level, and tell the players hiding in the town that this game can be conquered. We There is still hope, please don’t give up.”
From this point of view, Diabel's wish is quite noble.
only…
"I never thought about leading the beta testers to eliminate the problems between the beta testers and the general players. Instead, I allowed Kibaou to question the beta testers. But I never thought that the final result would be like this."
Diabell seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be confiding in Luo Zhen, speaking sincerely.
"I'm not as good as you."
This short sentence, for some reason, was full of persuasion.
Luo Zhen was a little surprised by this.
"There's no need to be so arrogant, right?" Luo Zhen said with some suspicion: "You do have leadership skills that others don't have. This can be seen from the reactions of ordinary players and their willingness to follow you. Yes."
You know, before this, Luo Zhen had praised Diabel for this.
So, Diabell shouldn’t have to say such things, right
However, Diabel's expression became even more bitter.
"I'm not as good as you."
Diabel just repeated this.
"No matter what, I can't compare to you."
After saying that, Diabel did not give Luo Zhen time to react, as if he had recovered again, letting refreshment and cheerfulness appear on his face again.
"I'll ask for your advice tomorrow, Lord Luo Zhen."
With these words, Diabel turned around and left here.
Looking at Diabel's back, Luo Zhen frowned, thoughtfully.
Then…
"Go find Argo."
Luo Zhen made such a decision and took steps forward.
