"And if you want to talk about this, didn't you go online earlier than me today? I saw you after I went online, and then I went to dinner after a while?"

Levi nodded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Neither of them, however, noticed any detail revealed in the girl's words. Yes, Shino didn't even notice it herself.

"After all, today is Bob's main event, and I still have a lot of things I am not familiar with this game, so I will come up and get used to it first. Yesterday was a bit of luck, but the opponents I made it to the main draw were definitely better than most of the people I met in the preliminaries. ”

In fact, Levi is ready to face a better player than all of his opponents in yesterday's preliminaries. Although Levi's penultimate game of the preliminary round yesterday was a fight against the legendary hero of the VR game world. However, the image of the hero named Kirito in the VR game world has always been a swordsman with two swords in black, and Levi also noticed that kid was not suitable for a hot weapon shooting game like GGO in yesterday's game.

If it were like the western cowboys, or the aristocratic duel in ancient Europe, two people would face each other and face each other. When it comes to encounters in complex battlefields, Levi believes that the strength that Kirito can exert may not be up to Shino's level. After all, one of them is an outsider, and the other is a native aborigine. The dragon still hasn't crushed the head snake, and Levi can't say that there will be no better guy than the legendary player in the game later.

"So you've been practicing mock battles today?"

Shino is a veteran of GGO, so she immediately understood what Levy meant by familiarity and adaptation. It's unlikely that a newcomer like him will immediately find a team to work with to take him into the wild maze. What's more, the BOB tournament is a player-to-player, person-to-person showdown. In the game GGO, fighting monsters and PK are completely different things, and even the weapons used are different.

"Well, she happened to be idle during the day today, and said that there would be guild activities in the game at night, so she came here to take a look. ”

It's true that this party only has activities in her own game at night, but to say that she has nothing to do during the day, then even pure netizens like Shinon who don't even have the experience of meeting each other in online videos won't believe it.

For those who do not have free time to go to school and work, the weekend is the most enjoyable day of the week. In order to make good use of the relatively few working days, some otaku will even make a complete schedule beforehand, and strive to use every minute to their hobbies.

Shino had never seen this column of weekend 'schedules', but Levi did. It is marked in detail what anime, comics, novels, and games are watched from what time to what time, and the time is almost taken up slowly, even the meals are counted, leaving only a pitiful little to supplement the minimum sleep. An otaku girl like this, you say that she has nothing to do all day on a rare Sunday? Even if the power and internet are cut off at home, she can still open the curtains and read comics and light novels!

"Hmph, it's good to familiarize yourself with it in advance, the main race and the preliminaries are two completely different things, since you have prepared, I won't have to show mercy in the game later. ”

Why is this girl so competitive? When I first met Shino yesterday, it was clear that she didn't give Levi this impression. However, similar situations are not particularly uncommon, let's just say that those professional athletes, many of whom are very gentle people in their daily lives, will turn into a brave and fierce young man on the field. This can only be said to be the difference in what everyone cares about and the degree of care, and it cannot be regarded as something so mysterious that inspires another personality in a specific situation.

"Boxers in the ring don't always win in street fights, and that's pretty much the difference between the main draw and the preliminaries. ”

Shino added.

There is some truth to her analogy. Although, in fact, based on Levy's experience, anyone who can fight is definitely stronger than the average person in most cases. However, long-distance combat with hot weapons does have many differences from hand-to-hand combat. But when it comes to the experience of fighting in the chaos of a complex environment, Levi is not ashamed to say that there is no player better than him in the main game, and he is a professional.

"Now let's go straight to the same venue yesterday and wait for the game to start?"

The deeper you go in the presidential palace, the fewer people there are, and it seems that you can watch the game from anywhere in the game, which also allows players to avoid crowding into the stadium where the game is performed like real-life audiences, and they prefer the comfortable and spacious environment in the square outside. And the climate in the cities in the game is relatively good, at least you don't have to worry about sudden rain.

"I have to sign up first, just like yesterday. ”

No wonder Shino came in the direction she had come in the way she had first come yesterday, and Lévi wondered why she hadn't gone straight to the elevator in front of the hall.

"Do you still have to sign up? Didn't you already fill out the form yesterday?"

"Because there may be various situations, such as those who have advanced but suddenly don't want to participate, and those who are not interested in the prizes in the preliminary round or did not expect to win, and did not fill in the real information yesterday. It is equivalent to giving you another chance to choose whether to quit now, or continue to participate and get the prize. ”

As soon as Shino explained Levi, he understood, but he still felt that it was a bit redundant and boring for game companies to engage in this kind of formal thing. Everyone is already in the virtual world of the game, and these formalities only need to pop up a control panel for the player to operate, and you have to get a specific location. If it weren't for Levy's seemingly pointless pursuit of authenticity, there would have been two killings in the game GGO.

"I also think it's annoying to be realistic in this kind of place, maybe some of the people who develop games are more inclined to drill into the horns, right? Just like the scientists in the movies who don't understand the world. ”

Again, this is a typical mistake to take the exception as a typical one. Lévy doesn't know many scientists, but there are not many, and some of them do have quirks that are different from ordinary people. But it would be an exaggeration to say that all of them are not at all sophisticated. is like Satomi Hakase, who helped Super Suzune a lot, she usually seems to be a little stunned when she goes to school, but that's just that she puts most of her mind on her own research and doesn't care too much about other things.
