the other side.
While the players in the strategy game gathered in a high-end restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed eating and drinking, one player stayed away from the crowd.
Listening to the laughter that kept coming from the restaurant, Asuna sat on a bench outside the restaurant, holding a piece of black bread that anyone could buy for only 1 kel, while silently While eating, I don’t know what kind of things I was thinking about.
No, what Asuna was thinking about was actually very simple.
"I didn't expect that in this game I can actually see players laughing so heartily. You must be thinking about such a thing, right?"
A voice spoke out the thoughts in Asuna's mind, causing Asuna to freeze when she was about to bite the black bread. Then she raised her head dumbly and looked at the source of the sound.
I saw, at the entrance of the restaurant, a young man walked out of nowhere.
Moreover, while walking, the other party threw something in Asuna's direction.
Seeing the black shadow flying towards her face, Asuna almost subconsciously reached out her hand and took it in her hand.
"So hot...!"
The next moment, the high temperature coming from her hands made Asuna scream in surprise.
Looking carefully, what was thrown into Asuna's hand was a white bread that was exuding aroma and heat.
"You should at least eat this, right?"
Luo Zhen smiled mischievously, completely unaware that he had done something reckless, which made Asuna feel a little angry.
For some reason, Luo Zhen seemed to be born with the ability to irritate Asuna, always able to influence Asuna's mood.
Originally, Asuna was not someone who got angry easily, and could even be called very cold.
Because she has always followed her parents' wishes and set strict demands on herself both at school and at home, Asuna's character is actually quite calm and rational, without any of the eccentricity or rebelliousness of other children.
However, because of this, Asuna has a minor shortcoming.
That is a bit strong self-esteem.
When I was in school, I would not let my grades lose to others.
When you are at home, you are not willing to lose your upbringing to others.
When you are outside, you will not be willing to lose your evaluation to others.
Even in other aspects, Asuna doesn't want to see herself lose to others, otherwise she will fail, and failure will make her useless. This is the concept instilled in her by her parents.
However, when facing Luo Zhen, Asuna felt like she was losing to this guy in every aspect.
In addition, the other party seemed to be able to see through Asuna's thoughts for some unknown reason, which made Asuna feel even more unwilling.
In this case, Luo Zhen only needs to provoke him a little bit, and Asuna will be in trouble if she doesn't.
As for those who are willing to die, what Luo Zhen is best at is provoking.
"Let me guess why you don't go in." Luo Zhen said somewhat deliberately: "It shouldn't be because I am a girl, there are almost all reasons like some stinky men, but because I am not here. Isn’t this the reason why you want to fall in love with others, but to attack the boss?”
Total hit.
This finally made Asuna unable to remain silent.
"Don't tell me, you seem to know me very well." Asuna lowered her voice and said very coldly: "What are you doing here again? You shouldn't be here to care about your teammates, right?"
Regarding Asuna's statement, Luo Zhen actually nodded and acknowledged it.
"I'm really not here to care about teammates I'm not familiar with at all, I'm just here to fulfill some of the promises I made with others."
Luo Zhen shrugged and looked at Asuna.
To be more precise, it should be said that he was looking at the weapon on Asuna's waist.
"Is that a ?" Luo Zhen recognized it at a glance and said: "Among the standard weapons that can be purchased in the weapon shop on this floor, this should be the most advanced rapier type. It’s a kind of product, but after all, it’s still a generic product that can be bought in stores, and its performance is not much higher.”
Hearing this, Asuna answered without even thinking about it.
"So what?" Asuna whispered: "Weapons and so on are just props, let alone in this world. They are all composed of data and files and cannot be trusted at all, so , as long as it can be used, right?"
For Asuna who doesn't want to lose to this world, this is indeed an idea that suits her well.
pity…
"Props also have good and bad qualities, and even if they are props, as long as they are taken good care of, they will also generate feelings. Who cares what they are made of?" Luo Zhen curled his lips and said, "Besides, they can be used. Everything should be utilized so that you can continue to live. You don’t even understand this, do you?”
Asuna was immediately speechless.
Seeing Asuna like this, Luo Zhen laughed, and immediately opened the main menu, found the prop bar, and after dragging in the displayed prop list, clicked on a certain prop to materialize it.
"for you."
Luo Zhen let the materialized object fall into Asuna's hands with the same attitude and gesture as if he had just thrown the bread.
"This is…"
This time, Asuna was stunned.
What fell into his hand was a thin sword stored in a sheath.
Luo Zhen said so.
"This is one of the few drops that can be obtained on level 1."
Although there are various ways to obtain all the weapons and armors in SAO, they can be roughly divided into three major categories.
1: Items dropped from monsters and dropped from treasure chests.
Two: The rewards obtained after completing the task.
Three: Products made by players or NPC blacksmiths, leather craftsmen and other production professions using materials and props.
There is basically no big difference in performance between these three types of equipment.
At least, for now, that difference has not materialized.
When more floors of Aincrad are conquered and players in the production department gradually begin to develop, the skill proficiency of blacksmiths and craftsmen will increase rapidly, so that some highly skilled people can produce products that exceed the current level. The items on the floor come
But for now, there are no production experts among the players, so on the same floor, the differences between the dropped items, reward items, and products made by NPC blacksmiths and craftsmen are not too big. big.
Of course, this refers to weapons and armor of the same level.
In terms of performance, there are still some fairly high-performance weapons and armors in the first level of Aincrad.
For example, Luo Zhen's "Thousand Layer Robe" is a drop obtained from the mini-boss. Its quality is enough to rank among the top of all current armors. It makes the defense power of a mere piece of cloth comparable to that of heavy armor. Luo Zhen The "Sword of Tenacity" is also one of the few high-performance weapons in the first level, but it is just a reward that can be obtained from the mission.
In the first level, if we talk about rapier-type weapons, this rapier is undoubtedly the one with the highest performance.
"Its name is ."
Luo Zhen mentioned the name of this weapon.
