350 Quite realistic problems
After the murderous guild "Smiling Coffin" was defeated, the entire SAO once again ushered in a period of peace.
Luo Zhen also returned to the strategy team. After that, he devoted himself to leadership and command, and once again devoted all his energy to strategy.
And just as Luo Zhen had expected, even if the "Holy Dragon Alliance" was forcibly disbanded, resulting in a significant reduction in the combat power of the strategy team, it was not yet to the point where additional combat power was needed to clear the level.
With the current strength of the attack team, Luo Zhen was able to successfully break through the 55th floor a few days later, and then successively broke through the 56th, 57th, and 58th floors in just one month. and the 59th floor, allowing the front line to advance extremely smoothly to the 60th floor, and then the progress of the strategy was once again delayed.
There is nothing we can do about this.
In the floating city called Aincrad, every level will increase to a small level of difficulty, every 10 levels to a medium level of difficulty, and every 25 levels to a level of major difficulty.
In this case, after reaching the 60th floor, the strategy team naturally faced an increase in the difficulty of the strategy, which naturally slowed down the progress of the strategy.
That being said, compared to the substantial difficulty increase every 25 floors, the current situation is relatively optimistic.
At least, on the 25th and 50th floors, even when leaving the town and heading into the wilds of the maze area, Luo Zhen needed to personally direct the team so that the team would not suffer damage. Now, even if the difficulty increases, , but with the strength of the major guilds and players in the strategy group, there is still a way to successfully break through, right
Therefore, Luo Zhen only attended the strategy meeting for the boss in the training area and gave a few words. The rest of the strategy matters were left to the major guilds and individual players to resolve on their own.
As for Luo Zhen himself...
"what can we do about it?"
In a village on the 60th floor of the front line, Luo Zhen sat on a boulder on the grassland outside the village, his face full of contemplation.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Colorful butterflies and flower butterflies were playing in the grassland ahead, chasing each other for a while, circling and flying in the air, having a great time.
If it were normal times, Luo Zhen would have already sneaked into the most efficient training area to desperately gain experience points at this time.
Not to mention that now, Luo Zhen's level has reached level 87. He is approaching the level 88 level and is just a little short of being able to upgrade. The levels of Cai Die and Hua Die are also about to increase. While the strategy team is planning to defeat the boss in the practice area Taking the time to level up is the most important thing.
But today, Luo Zhen had to stop.
the reason is simple.
Looking carefully, at this moment, Luo Zhen was holding a sword tightly in his hand and looking at it.
That is Luo Zhen's current main weapon.
only…
"The enhancement has reached its limit, but the performance can no longer keep up."
Luo Zhen was worried about this matter.
Nowadays, players have left the towns one after another and started to adventure in this world.
This has resulted in an increase in the number of players who specialize in production skills in addition to combat.
Up to now, many master-level figures have been born in each profession. As a result, various equipment and props produced by players in the professional production system have begun to have performance and effects that exceed those sold by NPCs. Even the drops produced by the frontline Products are gradually falling behind the products produced by players, making this world the player's home court.
Of course, some boss-level monsters will occasionally drop items with higher performance than those produced by the highest-level production players.
For example, the "Interpreter" used by Kirito is one of them, and it is known as a drop of the magic sword level.
Unfortunately, there are very few people with such luck.
Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about Kirito. His "Elucidator" is a magic sword dropped from the defensive boss on the 50th floor. The defensive bosses are all monsters with only one. Once they are defeated, It won't spew out again, even the bosses in the practice area are like this. Only a very small number of regional small bosses will spew out randomly. How can we have such good luck to pop out again
At least, Luo Zhen has no such luck.
Therefore, as the advancement floors are getting higher and higher and the monsters are getting stronger and stronger, Luo Zhen's main weapon can't keep up with the requirements.
This has never happened in the past.
Because Luo Zhen has been relying on the sharpness of his "Mind Eye" and the power of his familiars to infiltrate various monster groups, and often snatch the rewards of boss-level monsters, and even dig some hidden tasks, all the time, Luo Zhen has obtained He has used a variety of powerful weapons to make it all the way to the present, and there has never been a situation where the weapons cannot keep up with his own strength.
But it's different now.
Now, the skill proficiency of production players has been improved, and there are many master-level characters who have fully learned the skills. The equipment of the top players in the strategy group has begun to take on a new look, gradually becoming more than just drops and quest items. The production quality has been greatly improved.
On the other hand, Luo Zhen, because the quality of the dropped items and quest items began to fall behind the players' products, he who had always been ahead of others in terms of equipment quality in the past was now not as good as other players.
Although it is not yet at the point of being the last one, if this continues, Luo Zhen will be caught up by the others sooner or later.
In view of this, Luo Zhen now faces a choice.
That is, like other players, you must first entrust trustworthy production players to help you make equipment.
And this naturally means that Luo Zhen needs to spend time on this, and can no longer get into the practice area by himself as he did before.
"It's really troublesome..."
Luo Zhen sighed at this.
This is not just a matter of weapons.
"If the weapons can't keep up now, then the familiars will be unable to keep up, right?"
Luo Zhen looked at the colorful butterflies and flower butterflies playing on the grassland.
At the beginning, Heathcliff said that familiars have their limits, and Luo Zhen only developed their potential in advance so that they could be effective against monsters of the level of defensive bosses.
But as the floors gradually increase, the colorful butterflies and flower butterflies gradually grow. Eventually, they will reach their set limits, making their skills unable to take effect against the bosses on the defending floor.
How long will it be until that day arrives
Luo Zhen doesn’t know.
Luo Zhen only knew that he might have to think of a way to prepare for a rainy day.
"Forget it, I don't want to anymore."
Luo Zhen lay down as if he was a little tired and looked at the sky in large letters.
At this time...
"I didn't expect you to hide in a place like this and be lazy."
As a rather cold voice approached, Luo Zhen raised his eyes slightly.
However, Luo Zhen did not look at the visitor.
Even without looking, Luo Zhen knew who was coming.
There is only one person who can speak to him in this tone.
"What? Is our Asuna coming to teach me a lesson again?"
Luo Zhen said this impatiently.
The person who came here was none other than Asuna.
