Spring goes and autumn comes again.
The time spent fighting in SAO always feels extremely difficult, and it also feels like it passes very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, two full years have passed since sao officially started operations.
Within two years, the strategy team continued to advance to the front line, and finally reached the 74th floor.
In other words, nearly three-quarters of the 100-story floating city Aincrad had been conquered by this time.
Although it will take a long time to break through the remaining quarter of the floor, players have gradually begun to feel that there is hope for leaving this world, allowing SAO to show a level far higher than two years ago. vitality.
During this period of time, there have been many changes in the frontline strategy team.
There are four specific changes.
The first change is the size of the raiding group.
As there are more and more top players, today, there are already 700 players in the strategy group, accounting for nearly one-tenth of the surviving players, which is very impressive.
The main reason why there are so many top players is naturally Luo Zhen.
Because, after two years, Luo Zhen's unimpeachable record of leading the team is still maintained. In addition, the resources left over from the disbandment of the "Holy Dragon United" were used to cultivate potential players, and the combat power of the strategy team emerged. The situation only increased but never decreased, and finally reached the incredible number of 700 people.
This is the first change.
The second change is Kirito's status.
During this period of time, during the continuous battle, Kirito finally demonstrated his sword skills of the "Two Sword Style" in the 70th floor defensive boss battle.
Moderate difficulty increases every 10 levels, and by the time you reach the 70th level, they have accumulated to an extraordinary level. Even Luo Zhen tried his best in that strategy battle, and Kirito was naturally also thorough. Show off your power and let the sword skills of "Two Sword Style" officially appear in front of the world.
In view of this, the reputation of the second unique skill holder has brought Kirito a great improvement in status, and his reputation in the strategy group has reached a peak. Some people have vaguely compared him with Hizik Leaf puts them together to compare and discuss the trend of who is the strongest player in SAO.
Of course, because the second unique skill holder is in the guild, the reputation of the led by Luo Zhen has also greatly increased, making it previously thought that the might replace the becoming the strongest guild in SAO gradually disappeared.
This is the second change.
The third change is naturally Luo Zhen.
To be more precise, it should be said to be Luo Zhen's weapon.
"Deep Blue".
Such a beautiful and powerful sword appeared for the first time in the defensive boss battle on the 60th floor, which greatly shocked the entire team of players.
With this crystal sword that exceeded the performance of the current floor, starting from the 60th floor and continuing to the current 74th floor, all the LA rewards of the floor-defending bosses finally fell into Luo Zhen's hands.
The defensive boss, who was originally thick-skinned, thick-skinned and high-blooded, would take away a large amount of HP every time in front of such a divine sword. The real output of Deluo was actually comparable to that of an attacker. The joint force formed makes people wonder if there is a bug in this game.
Of course, this is also because Luo Zhen relies on the ability of "Mind's Eye" to not only increase the power of his sword skills to the highest level every time, but also triggers a knowing blow every time. Only then can he increase the output to such an astonishing level. the point.
But no matter what, Luo Zhen's sword is completely famous. After Cai Die and Hua Die, it has become another symbol of Luo Zhen.
This is the third change.
As for the last change, it actually came from Asuna.
the reason is simple.
For some reason, starting from the 60th floor defensive boss strategy meeting, Asuna no longer disagreed with Luo Zhen, and openly put forward various suggestions in the strategy meeting that would be opposed by Luo Zhen.
This seemed to have suddenly become more honest. He was neither as imposing nor as cold as before. It was as if he suddenly had a human touch. As time went by, his personality gradually changed. He has become much gentler and smiles more often.
Such changes not only did not make Asuna's popularity decline, but instead intensified, causing the number of her fan clubs to grow.
Luo Zhen naturally saw this change in Asuna, and was stunned by it more than once.
"What major event that caused the sky to fall caused this situation to occur?"
The instigator thought this way not only once, but even mentioned it directly in front of Asuna once. Asuna received a glare that was sharper than a rapier, and turned around and left without saying a word.
Luo Zhen was immediately confused.
I never expected that my unintentional teasing would have such a good effect.
In view of this, many years later, Luo Zhen would have a heartfelt emotion every time he thought of this incident.
"I didn't expect my charm to be so great."
Needless to say, such shameless remarks made Luo Zhen tidied up by Asuna more than once.
This is the last change.
Four changes in a row have given the strategy group a completely new look, making players feel more and more reliable.
Only the players in the strategy team know that as the strategy progresses, there are not only good things.
Even if the front line is pushed to the 74th floor, the next 75th floor is like a huge stone, pressing on everyone.
Just because, after the 25th and 50th floors, this is the third floor that is about to see a significant increase in difficulty.
According to past experience, if you can get through this floor, you can smoothly advance to the next floor until the difficulty of the next 25 floors increases significantly.
On the contrary, it can almost be said to be irreversible.
Therefore, although the 74th floor has not been cleared yet, the closer to the 75th floor, the more uneasy the players in the strategy group become.
This has caused the progress of the recent strategy to become somewhat slow.
In the past, at the speed of the strategy team, they should be able to conquer a floor every ten days. At most, they would stumble a little when the difficulty level increases every 10 floors.
But now, almost ten days have passed, and the room of the guarding boss on the 74th floor has not yet been found, and even the map file has not been fully recorded.
Just when the strategy team faced such difficulties, Luo Zhen also encountered a huge difficulty.
This difficulty does not arise from other places, but from Cai Die and Hua Die, who are his familiars.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
At this moment, in the maze area on the 74th floor, the sweet sounds of colorful butterflies and flower butterflies are echoing.
Two rainbow-like swallowtail butterflies flew through the air like auroras, gliding towards a monster in front of them.
"scare!"
Along with such a cry, the huge monster exuded a fierce aura.
It was a lizard man who was over three meters tall, wearing heavy armor and holding a huge steel gun in his hand.
The colorful butterflies and flower butterflies flew over each other's heads, sprinkling yellow and black phosphorus powder one after another.
"!"
The giant lizard man who was touched by the phosphorus powder froze and fell into a negative state of paralysis and blindness.
However…
"scare!"
In less than a few seconds, the giant lizard man's negative state was lifted, causing it to scream in great rage.
Seeing this scene, Luo Zhen finally confirmed one thing helplessly.
"The limits of colorful butterflies and flower butterflies are coming soon."
This is the difficulty Luo Zhen encountered.
