Chapter 1 New Rise

Located on the 18th floor of Aincrad, there is a safe town near this maze area.

There are strange vines and livestock everywhere, and the large maze area makes this area less safe. However, the settings in Sword Art Online are quite strict. As long as it is safe, the town will not be attacked. .

The monster's range of activity is limited.

Late at night, the place is basically brightly lit and filled with all kinds of transactions. Now it is far away from the world of Sword Art Online, and the open beta period has reached a year.

Because Kayaba Akihiko tampered with various settings in the game, all players were in trouble.

Su Yi is the same. It has been about a few months since he came to this world, but he still has not made any progress.

Walking alone on the street, Su Yi was wearing a jet black windbreaker.

He seemed a little out of place with the others because this guy joined in midway.

Carrying a giant sword behind his back, Su Yi walked very briskly. His current level is unknown.

But judging from the fact that this guy can equip such a high-level giant sword, at least his level is among the members of the strategy team.

Looking at the surrounding lights, Su Yi raised his head slightly and noticed the people around him. It seemed that because of the long time, many players had gradually forgotten the feature of death and completely integrated into this simple and ordinary game. lifestyle.

But even if everyone is smiling, they can't hide the uneasiness and tension in their hearts.

This is Kayaba Jingyan, the death notice that this game developer brings to all players.

No gamer knows whether he can continue to live tomorrow until he clears the entire game and walks out of this world.

"Phew...the highest strategy group has now reached level 86."

Su Yi said brokenly.

Although relatively speaking, the number of layers and strategies seems to have made a big breakthrough, but for nearly a few months, all strategy players have been stuck on the 86th floor.

Although the losses are close to now, hundreds of players still haven't made any progress, and they haven't even found the lord's room on the 86th floor.

"Damn it, I don't have any system in this world."

Su Yi was a little surprised.

The fact that I am able to climb to this level now is entirely due to my own gaming experience and extensive grinding.

But Su Yi understands very well.

It will definitely be very dangerous if it continues like this.

Some things really aren't as simple as you think.

Especially in the maze area in Aincrad, the monsters are basically very changeable, and if something falls in some rooms, it is very likely that there will be no way to use the transfer crystal trap.

After triggering this kind of trap, basically players will die inside.

And one thing that makes everyone feel timid is that in a battle with monsters, if you die and I die, it means the end of your life in real society.

Although this is just a game, it is no joke!

Such a sentence is deeply imprinted in my heart.

"Damn it, one day I will walk out of this world."

"Kayaba Jingyan, you old bastard, wait for me!"

Su Yi said loudly, especially when his fists rattled and hit the wall hard at this time.

Only a roar was heard.

"I said, what are you doing, you brat? Don't cause trouble in my place. This is a bar."

In the safe town of Engrande, there are various hotels and some bars including those in real society. Basically all the facilities are very complete. This is the essence of this game. It is basically wide-area. As long as there is something in the real society, it can be displayed through this kind of simulation data.

This is what full stealth technology does and is used for.

"Feel sorry,"

After Su Yi saw the boss, he apologized awkwardly.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it."

The boss is relatively familiar with Su Yi, and this guy often spends money in this place.

"Forget it, seeing that you often visit my shop, let's cancel the hatred between the two of us. As for you next time, if I find you doing this kind of thing again, don't blame me for treating you badly. You’re welcome.”

Although this is a safe area, there is still no way to repair damaged objects. This is a skill and setting in Sword Art Online.

Su Yi's level is very high, so hitting the wood with his fist can actually shatter it.

"Boss lady, don't be angry."

"Here you go, I'll pay you for this damaged thing."

Su Yi was actually quite embarrassed, but this guy was still quite a good person. He quickly took out a bag of gold coins from his backpack and handed it to the proprietress.

This landlady has a strong back and a very impressive appearance.

However, it is quite famous in this area. After opening such a tavern, the business is extremely booming. Players from the strategy team and frontline personnel will come to this place every time they return to this safe area. Destroy and relax once in a while.

Sword Art Online has entered the open beta period.

It has completely lost all contact with the outside world, and the settings and gender hidden in the game are all displayed in a real person's appearance. Many people originally went into facial modification, but now it has completely happened. Change.

"Okay, I'll let you go this time if you're wise."

The landlady said calmly.

In fact, it still depends on this issue of attitude. In addition, Su Yi lost a sum of money to himself, so he planned to write it off.

"You better be more honest with me in the future."

…

Su Yi was actually quite embarrassed.

But fortunately, I didn’t pursue anything against myself.

This proprietress looks rather scary. Of course, this is not sarcastic. She is of a very high level, but she has not joined the strategy team. Basically, there are very few people in this area who make trouble in bars.

Including Su Yi, this person is very hidden.

"Forget it, in order to make up for the current losses, it seems that we should go to the maze area to farm some monsters."

In this way, you can not only gain corresponding experience points, but also recover your current losses.

Su Yi, like other players, only had some basic skills when he first came to this world.

But with the growth of time and various combat experiences, you will gradually improve yourself to the current level. ..
