Le Yuan walked out of the only bakery in Foster Town melancholy. As a bakery owner, he was naturally very happy that Le Yuan wanted to learn cooking skills, and immediately released a game called "Honey Gatherer" The task sent Le Yuan away.
The night in Aincrad presents no obstacles for those who want to level up. The starlight falling from the sky is enough for players to see any monster that appears. Of course, for some monsters, night is the best time to exert 120% of their strength. It is a good time, so beta testers usually avoid some monsters whose strength increases suddenly at night, but these are meaningless to Le Yuan. The furious bees he has to face are not these special monsters.
When Le Yuan came to the flower bed where the Furious Bee appeared, he saw two kinds of strange flowers blooming under the night moon. One of them was shaped like a bright moon, emitting a soft yellow light called Crescent Yellow, and the other was It looks like a star, and the bits and pieces are clustered together, emitting a silvery white light, which is called star white.
Le Yuan's target, the furious bee the size of a baby, is working hard among these flowers, and the "buzzing" sound of its wings is loud at night.
"Should this number be said to be worthy of bees?" Although the furious bees are not big compared to other monsters, Le Yuan has seen more than a hundred of them under a rough observation.
Le Yuan picked up a piece of gravel from the ground, then took a few steps back and exited the flower garden. Then he raised the stone in his hand and locked on the nearest Furious Bee. "Pa—" the small stone accurately hit the Furious Bee. The bee's body reduced its blood tank by about one-tenth.
"Hey, is the blood so thin?" Seeing the furious bee rushing over after being beaten, Le Yuan unhurriedly pulled out the wise man of truth behind him, and easily blocked its collision attack.
After failing to hit the target, the Furious Bee straightened its body and raised its tail stinger towards Le Yuan. "Whoosh -" its tail stinger detached from its body and flew towards Le Yuan quickly.
"Ding-" It's just a needle. Although Le Yuan did not have the internal strength to cooperate at this time and his physical fitness was not high enough, the opponent's needle was not sent by a martial arts master. The Dugu Nine Swords still exerted the effect of the third and fourth levels, breaking through with one move. Knock it to the ground with an arrow move.
The tail sting did not work, and the furious bee rushed towards Le Yuan again with its tail bare. Le Yuan did not fight back with his sword, but kept blocking with his sword, and then muttered something silently.
"... 57, 58, 59, 60!" When Le Yuan clicked on 60, the Furious Bee appeared with an intact needle again, then raised its tail and shot the needle towards Le Yuan. , Le Yuan took the move without dodging, and then he found that a poison mark appeared on his body, a slight poisoning state in which he lost one point of blood every second.
Looking at the poisoned Le Yuan, the Furious Bee struck again without any new ideas, but what responded to him was Le Yuan's merciless ordinary slash. "Tsk—" A large gash was cut on the Furious Bee's body, and it was tight. Then it turned into data fragments.
After 30 seconds, the poison mark on Le Yuan disappeared, and Le Yuan opened the main panel and started recording: "Well, Foster's Southwest Flower Garden - Furious Bee, has average strength, high speed, high agility, poor defense, and blood The power is extremely low, it has a tail stinger shot once a minute, with a slight poisoning effect of 30 seconds, and the difficulty is average." This is exactly the recording work Le Yuan started after leaving the starting town, and he recorded the things he encountered along the way. All kinds of monster data have been recorded.
"It seems that it is not too difficult. It is just suitable for someone with sharp eyesight and quick hands like me to deal with it. Here I come!" He said, closing the main panel and rushing towards the Furious Bee.
As soon as Le Yuan rushed into the flower garden, before he could get close to the Furious Bees, the five Furious Bees closest to Le Yuan all turned to look at him, and then raised their tail stings.
"Is this a monster that attacks in groups?" But at this time, it was too late to break away from the battle. Instead of retreating, Le Yuan rushed forward to face the attack. "Ding, ding, ding—" A round of shooting was missed by Le Yuan. After catching it, Le Yuan slashed horizontally at the two nearest Furious Bees. One Furious Bee died on the spot, and the health of the other became a candle in the wind.
"Angry Thrust!" As the basic thrusting technique of a one-handed straight sword, this move can be regarded as a very useful move. Not only can it be used as a thrusting move to close the distance between the enemy, but it can also escape the encirclement in an instant. The thrusting damage is also It's very impressive. Of course, if you don't use it well, you will fall into the circle of monsters.
Le Yuan's "Rage Sting" grazed the remaining HP of the Furious Bee, shattering it into pieces, and then killed another intact Furious Bee with one blow.
"Bang-bang-" The remaining two angry bees slammed into Le Yuan who fell into a state of freeze after using the angry stab.
"Well, it's really unreasonable that my skills are stiff. My consciousness can clearly realize the state of my body but I can't control it at all." After two hard impacts, Le Yuan's health was only reduced by one-tenth, but What's bad is that Le Yuan's battle attracted the surrounding furious bees.
"One!" Le Yuan used a vertical slash on one of them to split it into two, "Two!" Then he slashed diagonally without interruption, killing the remaining furious bee from bottom to top. On the spot.
"It seems that the record also missed a sentence, group action, single person detour." Le Yuan started running, and before the Furious Bees formed an encirclement, he fought alone. Facing the Furious Bees with low defense and low health, Le Yuan There is no need to fight with them and keep wandering around to weaken the swarm bit by bit.
The battle lasted until the second half of the night. Except for the scattered Furious Bees that had just been refreshed, the entire flower bed had been cleared by Le Yuan. The honey required for the mission had naturally been collected, and the level had been improved unknowingly. When I reached level 5, I turned around and went back to the town to hand in the mission.
At the Foster Town Bakery, Le Yuan handed the honey into the hands of the boss and said, "Is this enough? Can you teach me cooking skills?"
"Haha, of course, give it to you!" As soon as the boss finished speaking, a new skill appeared on Le Yuan's skill slot - cooking. Le Yuan relaxed as he looked at the skill that he had worked hard for most of the night to acquire. tone, but then almost choked at the boss's words.
"Then I'll leave first, boss." Le Yuan waved and wanted to say goodbye, but the bakery owner stopped Le Yuan.
"Young adventurer, aren't you going to buy some cooking utensils? Or do you have a cooking technique that doesn't require props?" the bakery teased.
"Uh, do you think you have one here, boss?" After hearing what the bakery owner said, Le Yuan realized that SAO's cooking design was not completely designed in accordance with reality. It can be said that there are many simplified steps that even a novice can easily master. But the premise is to operate according to the methods provided by the system, and cooking naturally requires tools. Le Yuan, a first-class chef, completely ignores this problem in the game.
"Of course!" The bakery owner pulled out a price board and placed it in front of Le Yuan. The items were not expensive, but there were flints, simple stoves, barbecue grills, barbecue racks, flour, etc., which added up. A huge sum of money.
Le Yuan picked out some necessary kitchen utensils and materials, then handed the money to the boss and said, "Isn't it your main business to sell these things? I see you are well prepared, boss? Look. Since I should be the first adventurer to patronize you, how about introducing a few lucrative quests?"
"Hahaha, thank you for your generosity." The bakery owner took Cole and laughed and said: "Adventurer, if you want a rich mission, you need to keep working hard and move towards the higher level. We are just a starting town. The surrounding towns are not only weak in strength, but also don’t have many resources. How can they have generous tasks? But when it comes to tasks, I have a wish, are you willing to help me realize it? "
"Wish? Boss, please tell me first." Le Yuan did not agree in a hurry, but asked about the specific content first.
"Mr. Adventurer, you should know that Aincrad is divided into 100 levels. With each level going up, the monsters become more powerful, and the monsters guarding each level are even more terrifying. Now because of the monsters Due to our blockade, there has been no contact between the various levels for a long time." When the bakery owner said this, Le Yuan couldn't help but nodded. This was considered a setting of SAO, and he didn't know how this matter looked to the NPC. Something happened.
"The first floor is the weakest among all the layers, but legend has it that it was just the opposite a long time ago." The bakery owner said categorically.
"On the contrary? Is there anyone on the first level who is stronger than the guys on the 100th level?" Le Yuan thought for a while but found that there was no monster that was stronger than the final BOSS originally planned to be played by Kayaba Akihiko himself.
The bakery owner shook his hand and said: "No, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that the strength of the first floor is underestimated. I don't know what the monster on the 100th floor looks like, but according to legend, There is a secret passage on the first floor, which can lead to an extremely secret maze area, which contains monsters far more powerful than anyone imagined. However, at some point, this passage to the maze was blocked, and that place was gradually forgotten by people. , now there are only some legends left.”
"Hidden maze?" After the bakery owner mentioned it, Le Yuan also recalled a detail. The maze under the Black Iron Palace, the black palace in front of the central square of the starting town on the first floor, had appeared in the original work. The monster with the strength of the 90th floor BOSS is indeed a very dangerous place.
After confirming what the bakery owner said, Le Yuan asked, "So, what exactly is your wish?"
"Ahem, I once wanted to be an adventurer who traveled around the world, but reality told me that a person like me, who was born on the first floor and had poor talent, could not become a powerful adventurer. I was once disappointed, but in After knowing this legend, I want to prove that the first floor is not weaker than other floors. Can you help me prove the existence of that place?"
"Do you accept the A-level mission—the wish of the bakery owner?"
