Aincrad Level 11, Taft.
This is the main town on the 11th floor of Aincrad, the town closest to the 10th floor stairs.
Nowadays, the players in the frontline strategy team have expanded the floor to the 26th floor. Therefore, this is no longer a floor where top players stay. Only middle-level players come and go here.
However, mid-level players are originally the mainstream of this world.
After all, not everyone can become a top player enough to join the strategy team. For a player to dare to leave the starting town and venture outside, that is brave enough.
Therefore, compared to the front line where only a handful of top players go, this place is actually more lively. In addition, from time to time, some bottom players transfer from the floors below to visit here. The entire Taft can be described as It is quite popular.
As a result, a stone tablet placed under a white pavilion in a square in Tafto kept flashing with waves of blue light, causing famous players to appear and disappear one after another.
This is Taft's transfer gate square.
At a certain moment, the transfer door that connects to each conquered floor lit up again, causing a player to appear in a tunnel-like blue light.
The person who came here was naturally Luo Zhen.
"Is this right here?"
Luo Zhen looked around.
"Woo!"
Rainbow butterflies flew beside him, flapping their wings and making habitual calls.
This shout immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding players.
"Then...what is that?"
"A weird...monster?"
"Wow! So beautiful!"
"No! How can there be a monster in the circle!?"
"Then...is that a familiar?"
"Wait...a rainbow-like swallowtail butterfly...?"
"Could that be...!?"
Each player first widened his eyes with a look of astonishment on his face, and then his expression became shocked as if he remembered something.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen frowned, then quickened his pace and left here.
Only then did the surrounding players react.
"Just... was that player just now the ...!?"
"Oh my god! I actually saw the !"
"Why is the leader of the frontline strategy team here?"
"who knows…"
Each player was immediately excited, some were confused, some were dumbfounded, and some looked at each other, causing uproar after another, which did not calm down until a long time later.
… …
On the other side, Luo Zhen walked into an alley with rainbow flowers and butterflies, feeling somewhat helpless.
"It's not a good thing to be too famous."
"Goooo!"
Hearing Luo Zhen's helpless voice, Rainbow Flower Butterfly screamed a little aggrievedly.
"Okay, I don't blame you."
Luo Zhen stretched out his hand and patted the little guy's head.
"It's just that if I continue to take you with me, there will be all kinds of troubles. I can only force you to go in temporarily?"
With that said, Luo Zhen took out a prop from the materialized pocket around his waist.
It was a crystal with beautiful luster.
There are various props in sao.
But among these numerous props, the most popular among players is the crystal props.
They each have different functions and effects depending on their type.
However, no matter what type they are, these crystals can all take effect immediately, and they are rare items that are like magic.
These props are classified according to color.
There are blue crystal transfer crystals for teleportation.
There is a pink crystal recovery crystal that is used to restore HP and restore all HP instantly.
There is also a green crystal detoxification crystal that can be used to relieve abnormal conditions, not just poisoning, but also negative conditions such as paralysis, blindness, dizziness, etc.
Various crystal props have the performance of instant effect and the best effect, so the price is quite expensive. Even the top players in the strategy team are reluctant to use them. They can only be used at the moment of real crisis or when they are very anxious. time to use it.
What Luo Zhen is taking out now is one of the crystal props.
However, this crystal is neither blue, nor pink, nor even green, but a very strange and colorful one, as dazzling as a rainbow.
If other players were here and saw this crystal, they would be surprised, right
Because, in SAO, there are no crystal props of this color at all.
Crystal props are usually of a very pure color, and each color has a purpose, so there will never be such a colorful situation.
In fact, apart from Luo Zhen, there is no other person in this world who can hold this kind of crystal prop.
the reason is simple.
This crystal prop is specially made.
To be more precise, it should be said that it is a specially customized product that Luo Zhen got after completing a long and smelly task. It is estimated that only one of him currently owns the magic crystal for props.
As the name suggests, this is a crystal closely related to familiars.
It functions like a player's item inventory, except that it is not used to store items, but to store familiars.
"Just enter the crystal first."
Luo Zhen raised the familiar crystal in his hand.
"Ugh."
Rainbow Butterfly could only shrug its head, stretched out her hand feebly, and touched the magic crystal.
"Zheng!"
The next second, the crystal gave off the luster of the rainbow, wrapped the rainbow butterfly, and stored it inside.
Looking at this scene, Luo Zhen curled his lips.
"If I had this kind of crystal item when I was on level 1, I wouldn't have to worry about being recognized as a closed beta player."
Unfortunately, crystal props are rare and precious, and you will never see them on the first floor.
"Anyway, let's go find Kirito first."
Luo Zhen put away the magic crystal, then ran out of the alley and headed outside the circle.
… …
Now that things have happened, Luo Zhen naturally doesn't have to worry about encountering danger in the wild.
Now that the game has been running for nearly half a year, players have already figured out what levels are safe on which floors, so they don't have to worry about losing to monsters.
Generally speaking, as long as it is 10 levels higher than the current floor, it is within the safe range.
In other words, as long as you are above level 20, then in the 11th floor, even if it is not absolutely safe, if you don't encounter any traps, boss-level monsters, or be surrounded by a large number of monsters, then you don't have to worry about anything happening.
Luo Zhen's level is level 48.
At this level, running around in a place like the 11th floor would be like running amok.
Luo Zhen used his fastest speed and walked all the way through the practice area outside Tafto and arrived in front of a forest.
As soon as he arrived here, Luo Zhen immediately saw Kirito.
"This way!"
Kirito raised his hand and waved to Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen suddenly stopped and showed a stunned expression.
Simply because Kirito was not the only one present.
There was actually a group of players beside Kirito.
