Two Hundred and Thirty-Six "Secret Medicine of the Forest"

As time passed, the sun gradually sank, dyeing the faintly visible forest in the distance with a dim color.

"Woo!"

While sprinkled with phosphorous powder, the rainbow butterfly flew rapidly towards the forest amidst sparkling special effects.

Of course, in front of him is Luo Zhen who is the master.

Luo Zhen and Kirito ran on the grassland at the fastest speed, heading towards the forest.

""

Along the way, an indescribable silence pervaded the two of them.

The two didn't exchange a single sentence, they just ran forward with their heads buried.

Since he wanted to improve his strength, in this game world, there was naturally only one method that came to mind first.

upgrade.

Only by leveling up can the character be strengthened. Not only can the attribute be improved and the skill grid can be obtained, but also the upper limit of hp can be increased to make oneself safer.

Luo Zhen and Kirito planned to raise their level.

However, there are relatively safe practice areas around the main street, and the level of monsters is also very low. Although it can guarantee more life safety, it will not be killed by low-level monsters all at once, but in the game , the risk is directly proportional to the reward, if you don't take some risks to hunt high-level monsters, if you don't say anything else, the efficiency of gaining experience points alone will be relatively low.

In addition, once the players react to the reality of the death game, there should be many players who decide to act like Luo Zhen and Kirito will arrive here first, right?

After all, although the efficiency of obtaining experience points is relatively low, it is relatively safe. Players will definitely start exploring near the starting town first, and improve themselves bit by bit.

However, in Sao, monsters are refreshed in a certain amount according to a certain period of time.

That is to say, within a certain period of time, the number of monsters is fixed, unless it is time to re-emerge, or meet the conditions for eruption, it will not be refreshed.

Under such circumstances, the safe practice areas around the starting town will definitely be occupied by a large number of players, and the right to kill monsters will also produce various frictions, leading to conflicts between players.

Then,

The number of treasure chests in the wild is also certain, and some rare missions also have a limit on the number of times they can be accessed. These resources will become the targets for players to compete for.

Whoever can get more resources can become stronger.

That's why Kirito said that.

"We must monopolize all resources that can become stronger."

It refers to this matter.

Of course, this is a thorny road.

Because of their experience during the beta test period, most of the beta test players must have such plans to widen the gap with ordinary players and surpass the top players in this world.

And of course, the average player will definitely feel angry, lament and even resentful about this situation.

Just because of bad luck, he didn't have the qualifications to participate in the closed beta test. As a result, the beta test players took away the opportunity to become stronger, and even took away the right to obtain more resources. In the future, ordinary players will definitely treat the beta test players Generate great repulsion and even hatred, right?

It is impossible for Kirito not to know this.

However, he still chose this path.

because

"I don't want to die"

The words Kirito murmured unintentionally entered Luo Zhen's ears clearly.

Regarding this, Luo Zhen didn't say anything, but kept running forward with his head buried.

Although the starting point is different from Kirito's, Luo Zhen also has no intention of giving up the rare beta test experience.

Unselfishly sharing the experience during the beta testing period, sharing the resources in the game with all players, and becoming stronger together Luo Zhen is not so great.

Therefore, Luo Zhen rushed to a place with Kirito.

It was a small village named "Xinmen" located in the northwest of the town of beginning.

Compared to the starting town, which occupies the southern end of the first floor of Aincrad and covers an area of ​​more than one kilometer, Horuka is a very small village, but there are not only hotels, weapon shops and item houses there, but also It still belongs to the circle, and as an activity base, it is not too bad.

Of course, this is not the most important.

The most important thing is that there will not be too powerful monsters in the surrounding forest, and the efficiency of obtaining experience points is higher than that of the practice area around the town of beginning. In addition, the rest of the players must not have arrived there yet. Luo Zhen and Tong The National People's Congress can monopolize the surrounding monsters, gain a lot of experience points to improve the level, and at the same time have the opportunity to hit better drop props and drop materials. There is no reason not to choose it.

On the first floor, there are actually several such villages.

But the reason why Luo Zhen and Kirito chose this village was because they could receive a very popular task during the beta testing period.

The task is named.

The content of the task is to obtain the ovule of a predatory plant monster in the forest for an NPC aunt in Horuka, and use it to extract the medicine that can cure her daughter's disease.

As long as you complete this task, you can get very good rewards.

For Kirito, that reward is worth pursuing with all his strength, and for Luo Zhen, it is also a very effective means of strengthening in the early stage.

Therefore, Luo Zhen and Kirito were silent all the way, rushed into the forest at the fastest speed, and advanced along a trail while avoiding all the monsters.

Soon after, Luo Zhen and Kirito arrived at Horuka Village.

Same as during the beta test, Horuka occupies a very small area. Even if you add up the number of shops and inns, there are only a dozen or so buildings in all of them. The npcs living here are not surprised The two teenagers who broke in made any obvious reactions, doing their own things according to their own settings.

Luo Zhen and Tongren stood at the entrance of the village.

Immediately after

"Qing is wrong, Luo Zhen"

Kirito finally spoke, and wanted to say something to Luo Zhen.

However, Luo Zhen already guessed what Kirito was going to say.

Therefore, Luo Zhen answered first.

"Let's go to the weapon shop first." Luo Zhen said bluntly: "Don't worry, I don't really carry any weapons, just relying on a familiar with pitifully low HP and a fly that has run out of throwing props." Sword skills spawn monsters here."

After speaking, Luo Zhen went in the direction of the weapon shop.

"Wait, wait!"

Kirito quickly chased after him.

About ten minutes later, Luo Zhen and Kirito appeared again.

It's just that both of them have changed.

On Kirito's body was an extra brown leather open-neck jacket, and the original cloth outfit was replaced with a leather outfit. Obviously, he bought new armor to improve his defense.

As for Luo Zhen, the equipment on his body has not changed, except that there is an extra weapon on his waist.

It was a one-handed sword made of bronze.

In addition, Luo Zhen and Kirito also had a lot of medicine bottles in their pockets, and Luo Zhen also had a lot of throwing props in their pockets.

Obviously, both of them made effective use of their own money and achieved the best reinforcement so far.
