SAO, Ayn Grant -

By the frightening figure of 2,000 dead in the first month of the game, all the remaining players were gripped by a dark sense of despair. If the death toll continues at this rate, www.biquge.info 10,000 players will die in less than half a year. To break through the 100 layers is simply a fool's dream.

Now all players can finally understand what Kayaba really meant by "reaching the top of this castle" at the beginning.

This castle refers to a huge floating castle that swallows players at the bottom and has ninety-nine floors above it, and is constantly floating in the air, Ayn Grant.

More than a month ago, a player's guidebook worth 1 kor suddenly appeared in the shops in all towns, and most players gradually became stronger from not believing it at first to using the methods on the manual.

Because of this manual, many players who have lost hope in their future and spend their days in the safe zone of the starting place have regained hope. Start to follow the strategy in the manual step by step to become stronger.

In the course of a month, most of the players have arrived at Torbana and started exploring the labyrinth area, except for some players who committed suicide because they couldn't accept the facts at the beginning and some players who didn't follow the manual and risked some wild bosses to lose their lives.

It is also because of the appearance of this manual that Akihiko Aoba is even more humane than those who are in the closed beta test, and the claim has spread among the majority of ordinary players.

This also causes all inboard players to be isolated by regular players, not trading with them, and not sharing their maze map progress with them. It also led to a delay in the strategy, the boss room was not discovered for a long time, and the goal of the 100th floor was far away.

"Damn! A bunch of ignorant people! Who do they think is causing them to be in this game of death? How would that person be so kind to do a detailed strategy manual? If it weren't for those of us who they call the Cheaters, they would still be waiting to die on the streets of the Beginning! ”

In a tavern in Torbana, a man and a woman are sitting at the bar. The boy kept complaining to the girl.

"I said Argo! Why didn't you add the closed beta players to the manual in the first place, so that they knew that it was the cheater they had been hating that helped them! ”

Recently, because of those ignorant players, the progress of the strategy has been very slow, which makes Li Tong, who is eager to see Icarus and Nimfu on the 99th floor, very anxious.

Seeing Argo's indifferent look, Li Tong took a sip of his drink depressedly.

"Alright! The latest map of the maze has been given to you, what else are you not satisfied with? Under Li Tong's sad expression, Argo finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"But it's so slow! It's been almost a month, and I've only reached the eighteenth level of the first layer of the maze area. Don't they know that the longer the time drags on, the more people will be sacrificed? Nearly two thousand people's names have now been crossed out on the huge metal tablet in the Black Iron Palace. ”

Although the main reason is that Li Tong wants to see his Icarus and Nimfu as soon as possible, he doesn't want anyone to sacrifice anymore! The only way is to conquer the world as quickly as possible.

"But Kirito have you thought about it? If those who hate closed beta players saw that the manual was made by our closed beta players, would they easily believe it? If this were the case, more players would likely die and the strategy would progress more slowly. The speed is already good now. ”

Argo explained to Li Tong like this, put down the drink in his hand, looked at the time, and said to Li Tong: "Okay, you can settle the bill!" Kiriko has new information to exchange.,I'll take a look! ”

"Obviously you have more money than me now, but you even pick this money, you really deserve the title of little money fan I gave you!"

Li Tong couldn't help but complain when he heard Argo's words in the front, but when he heard the Tongzi in the back words, undisguised interest appeared on his face.

"Alas! I'll go with you! I'd love to get started with this old customer of yours, Kiriko, who is also one of the closed beta players who helped make the manual. ”

The reason why Li Tong wants to see Kiriko is to determine if he is the heroine Kazuko Kiritani in his memory. This can also show that Argo didn't know Li Tong, who was Kirito, at the beginning.

"Don't think! Don't you want to raid it as soon as possible? If you have this time, why don't you try your luck in the maze area and see if you can find the boss room. ”

But Argo refused him without hesitation, and the makeup on his face and beard seemed to move.

Hum! I can't let you bastard see Kiriko! Otherwise......

Thinking of Kiriko's delicate and beautiful face and long black and bright hair, Argo, who left with his back to Li Tong, couldn't help but feel a little lost. Perhaps, when he sees her, he will ...... Ah~ What am I thinking! For me, it's because I'm worried that Kirito will waste time on the strategy! Right! That's it!

"Why don't you let me see Kiriko? I don't understand! Li Tong, who had been rejected several times, said speechlessly.

Of course, he also thought about sneaking along, but after being discovered by Argo's super high enemy seeking skills and punished him to buy a hundred loaves of bread in all the shops in Torbana, Li Tong gave up this idea.

Li Tong, who was a little depressed, had no choice but to turn his depression into motivation, crushed a fixed-point teleportation crystal, and returned to the eighteenth level of the labyrinth area that he was attacking before. Follow the map information shared by Argo and start killing monsters to your heart's content.

At this time, he was already level 15, three levels higher than the average level of 12 in the strategy group. This is also the reason why Li Tong has been attacking the labyrinth area alone, the level has increased quickly, and the protection of the light has of course been strengthened.

Of course, Li Tong also wanted to team up with Argo at first, but Argo gave up teaming up with Li Tong because he wanted to collect intelligence.

However, occasionally Li Tong still has to forcibly pull her to upgrade, after all, the level is high, so that she can wear the high-level equipment that explodes in the maze area in Li Tong's backpack, so that Li Tong can go to the maze area with peace of mind. Therefore, although Argo's level is not as good as the Raiders group, it is better than the level of ordinary players at level 8 and 9, and at level 10, she is good.

"Damn! Ran out of reply potions and forgot to refill them in the morning? ”

In the depths of the eighteenth level of the labyrinth area, a player wearing a brown cloak has dropped to the yellow zone at this time, and three level 15 lizardmen behind her are gradually approaching her.

"Is this the end of it? It's also ......."

"Six Mangs Rapid Slash!"

At that moment, a six-pointed star sword light appeared on the three lizardmen, and then they could only let out a wail and disappear into three blue shards.

"It's good to arrive in time, are you okay?" Li Tong withdrew his weapon and looked at the player who fell to the ground behind him.

"What? Fainted? ”

Worried that something was wrong with him, Li Tong took away his cloak that covered his face. only to find that she was unconscious, and ......

"This familiar face, chestnut-colored hair...... Isn't this Asuna? How can you be here, still being chased by monsters? ”

Li Tong was very surprised, but he still felt that he would go back first.

So, Li Tong picked up Asuna and crushed the transfer crystal with his right hand.
