Two Hundred and Forty Eight "Argo"

Torbana.

This is the nearest town to the labyrinth area on the first floor of Aincrad.

In this most expansive first layer, the southernmost point is the starting town with a diameter of one kilometer. After crossing the grassland to the northwest, there is a whole piece of lush forest. If you continue to the northeast, you will come to the lake and swamp area, and then go through After passing through these terrains, mountains, canyons, ruins, and groups of monsters inhabiting these terrains will appear one after another.

These monsters are theoretically speaking, the monsters with the highest level in the field practice area on the first floor.

Because, if you go further, it will stand at the northernmost end of the first floor, straight up into the sky like a tower, with a diameter of 300 meters and a height of 100 meters, which can lead to the ladder labyrinth area on the second floor.

For players whose purpose is to conquer this game, or even just want to improve themselves, the importance of the labyrinth area is self-evident.

It is not only a ladder leading to the upper level, the monsters inside are also higher than those in the field practice area, and there are many treasure chests containing rare props. For players, it is definitely a treasure.

And the nearest town to the labyrinth area is Torbana, a valley city with a total length of only two hundred meters.

After a month of chaos and raids, many players in Torbana have arrived here, aiming at the labyrinth area every day, increasing their level and income.

Of course, those who can come here and use this place as a base to continue attacking the labyrinth are the top players today. Some of those low-level players settled in other relatively safe towns and villages, and some even stayed in the labyrinth. Staying in the town of the beginning, it is impossible to come to this place closest to the front line.

That being the case, Luo Zhen naturally used this place as his base.

"inner area."

When Luo Zhen brought Rainbow Flower Butterfly to this town and saw the huge windmill towers lined up in the town, such purple text immediately appeared in front of his vision.

This is proof that the player has entered the ring and is protected by a no-crime directive.

However, the protection within the circle can only protect the player from direct attacks, not indirect attacks.

For example, the sharp gaze and words of others.

"Hey, look at that guy"

"There is a rainbow-like swallowtail butterfly on the shoulder"

"Is he the rumored beta tester?"

"How dare you appear on the street"

Players in full armor looked at Luo Zhen with the rainbow butterfly,

Not only whispered, but also cast a hostile look at him.

This is the treatment that Luo Zhen often receives since ordinary players discover the advantages of beta testers and recognize Luo Zhen.

There is no way, there are 10,000 players participating in the official operation of sao, even if about one-tenth of them are closed beta players, among the remaining ordinary players, there are quite a few people who are hostile to the closed beta players.

Some of them really suffered the losses caused by the selfish actions of beta testers, some were just incited, and some even just wanted to find an outlet for their fear, terror and panic in this death game, As a result, they complained to the beta testers, who were hostile to the beta testers for various reasons, and in just one month, the beta testers suffered so much discrimination.

And Luo Zhen, as the only beta tester whose identity was confirmed, naturally endured the resentment of all ordinary players.

The players here are actually not bad, they are just hostile and talking behind their backs, like those guys I met just now blocked Luo Zhen from the outside of the circle, one can imagine how helpless Luo Zhen is in his current situation.

Obviously this is the situation, but Luo Zhen with the rainbow butterfly was yawning, ignoring the reactions of everyone around him, and walking lazily on the street.

"What should I eat later?"

Luo Zhen was worrying about such things.

As for the opinions of those players, Luo Zhen didn't care at all.

Back then, when he was in Chaldea, Luo Zhen often suffered from other people's eyes. When he was in Akabane's house, he was pointed out by the clansmen because of the growing gap with Akabane Tianquan.

Compared with those people, these players who can only do various things to Luo Zhen secretly in the game are really weak.

Luo Zhen didn't care about the contempt of these guys at all, and suddenly turned into an alley, making several players who were quietly following behind Luo Zhen startled, and then hurried forward, but Luo Zhen was nowhere to be found. , stood in the alley and gritted his teeth.

Under such circumstances, Luo Zhen turned around an alley at an astonishing speed, and came to a door similar to a hiding place, pushed the door open, and walked in.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a dilapidated and small bar.

"snort."

The npc who was the owner stood in front of the counter, looked at Luo Zhen who walked in, and instead of saying hello, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.

It is precisely because the character set by the npc shopkeeper is quite bad, and the location of this bar is very remote and quite dilapidated, the players who will come here are only very lonely or have other secrets, which is quite deserted.

And now, there is a guy who is not very popular on weekdays here.

"Yo, thank you for your hard work, really."

Calling Luo with such a shameful nickname is really a petite player, so small that it makes people wonder if there is an adult player.

The opponent is equipped with cloth and leather armor, and the weapon is a small claw hanging on the left waist and a flying needle on the right waist. He is also covered with a half-length cloak that only reaches the waist. It has a very conspicuous feature, three lines resembling animal beards are drawn on the cheeks on both sides.

This appearance, coupled with the short curly golden brown hair of the other party, always reminds people of a kind of animal mouse.

In fact, the opponent was indeed nicknamed a mouse by players who knew of its existence.

And the player with the character name Argo is actually an information dealer, such as places with high experience value, the location and trigger method of task npc, and even the player's personal information, etc., this information dealer will sell, for After that, he also added all his ability points to his agility, and he also ran side jobs such as spreading messages, persuading, leading the way, etc., although it was a bit shameful.

By the way, Argo is also a beta tester.

Although I have never admitted it, during the beta test period, Luo Zhen met her. However, at that time, Luo Zhen and Argo both used the appearance of character settings, and neither of them knew each other in reality. So when we met again in this world, both sides didn't point out this point, they just got along as usual.

By the way, the opponent is a female player who is rarer than rare monsters in online games.

It was she who invited Luo Zhen to come here.

Luo Zhen immediately walked into the bar with Rainbow Butterfly, sat down in front of Argo, and asked a question.

"So, what commission led you to come to me this time?"

Luo Zhen just got straight to the point.
