After Kirito finished speaking, he let Makino practice on his own.

Makino's kendo was so sophisticated that Kiritto wondered if Makino was pretending to be a novice to tease him.

The purpose of Makino and Kirito talking is to get some information about wild monsters and bosses from Kirito, of course, he won't have a dislike with him at this time.

So, Makino told Kirito about his experience of learning kendo in "reality".

When he learned that Makino was a disciple of the Isshin Dojo in reality, and received the title of "Wai Zhi Chuan Gong".

Kirito immediately became shocked, and even wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Kiritani's family has a dojo, and he has been practicing swords with his grandfather since he was a child.

Later, after accidentally learning that he was not the biological son of the Kiritani family, he was depressed for a while and gave up kendo and became addicted to the Internet.

This undoubtedly broke Grandpa's heart!

In Japan, there is a strong emphasis on inheritance.

Shrines, dojos, temples, and the like are all passed down from family to generation.

After Kirito gave up kendo, the responsibility of learning kendo and inheriting the dojo was put on the body of his sister Kiritani Naoha.

This is also one of the reasons why Kirito has always felt guilty about his sister Naoba.

The family has an ancestral dojo, and of course Kirito knows what it means to "pass it on without permission".

This means that you have learned all the skills of a certain genre and have obtained the permission of the master, so you can directly accept apprentices without applying.

This, this, this......

Is Makino such a big guy in reality?

It's no wonder that after he explained it once, Makino was able to fully master the sword skills in SAO.

Kirito is deeply aware of this.

In the closed beta, Kirito was able to become one of the top closed beta players.

Playing games from time to time is certainly one aspect of computer genius, but learning kendo in real life is also an important reason.

This is also one of the important reasons why Kirito worships Akihiko Kayaba!

Through mastering swordsmanship, Kirito has discovered that the swordsmanship in the game is similar to that of the real swordsmanship.

It is no exaggeration to say that the action design of the sword skills in SAO is basically in line with the principles of human mechanics, and aside from the game's auxiliary system, many kendo movements can be completely restored in reality.

Kirito suddenly had a kind of scumbag meeting the god of school, and a sense of worship arose!

Seeing Kirito's adoring expression, Makino suddenly smiled.

Small, can't scare you?

Makino: "Look at Kirito's shocked expression, you also learned kendo?" ”

Kirito was a little hesitant, but he still brought up the matter of the family.

After knowing some secrets from each other, the relationship between Makino and Kirito has obviously become much better.

Then, the monster farming mode is enabled.

Although Kirito is a closed beta player, after the new server is opened, everything else is actually cleared except for experience and information advantages.

You have to start from scratch!

After entering the monster farming mode, the two did not interfere with each other, and both began to devote themselves to the great cause of "killing pigs", and the road of killing pigs and sword gods officially set sail!

In addition to farming monsters, Makino is fully familiar with the game's kendo support mechanism.

As a great swordsman, even if Makino loses his realm and starts from scratch, his vision and experience still exist.

It's just to kill the level 1 mob [Manic Mountain Boar], but Makino changes his method and uses different swordsmanship to kill it.

Soon, Makino knew the mechanism of sword activation.

The more I learned, the more Makino liked the game, and the more he admired the genius of the game designer, Akihiko Kayaba.

As long as Makino's starting hand meets the trigger conditions of the sword skill, the [Sword Skill] will be successfully activated.

The key to determining whether the starting hand meets the trigger conditions is that one is the "standard" of the action, and the other is the "duration" of the action.

These two points are indispensable, and without any of them, the sword skills cannot be successfully displayed.

But for Makino, this is a breeze.

Putting kendo moves to the standard is as simple as eating and drinking water for Makino.

As for the length of time, Makino can also control this subtly.

After some experiments, Makino was even able to perform the next sword skill release at the same time as the moment when one sword skill was released.

This series of operations is like a continuous attack without any "backswing".

Kirito's eyes are straight when he sees it!

Is it so powerful?

It's also level 1, but looking at the sword skills displayed by Makino, it's smooth, like a work of art.

Even so, Makino was not satisfied.

Anyway, the setting of the hovering time for the sword skill to be activated seriously affects the play of Makino's speed.

Another thing that makes Makino very unhappy is that the game monster is a data-based body.

Only the distinction between sword slash and normal attack slash damage is considered, and there is no distinction between vital and non-critical points.

A sword poked in the heart, in reality, may be directly cold.

But in the game, there is no difference between how much blood a monster sheds and how much you slash your sword on your thigh.

Although he was a little unaccustomed to it, Makino felt more interesting, and he had a sense of discovering and solving problems.

And then.

Makino began to explore the effect of combining kendo and footwork!

Soon, Makino noticed the difference.

In the process of advancing and retreating, the problem of pulling hatred, improving attack efficiency, and avoiding damage is designed.

In this respect, it is truly promising, almost like a science.

Makino is getting more and more playing, but I don't know that Kirito next to him is a little dumbfounded.

Kirito has always been a master of the game, and his talent in many aspects is unimaginable to ordinary people.

But after seeing Makino's series of operations today, I felt a shocking feeling.

Kirito has a hunch that Makino may soon be able to dominate the top game and become the top player.

Time passes imperceptibly, and in the blink of an eye in the game world, there is already a sun rising in the middle of the sky and the sun setting.

Here, we have to mention the time setting in SAO.

In order to create as realistic as possible, Akihiko Kayaba has equal the time in the game to the time in reality.

In other words, the two have been playing for almost an afternoon before they know it.

No wonder the game has to set up an anti-addiction system, the game has no years, and the cold does not know the year!

And just after Makino killed another pig, Makino suddenly felt a ray of light surging from his body.

A pop-up window also appeared in front of me!

The moment he saw the pop-up window, Makino knew the situation - he had escalated.

Not to mention the experience gold coins and the like, after leveling up, Makino suddenly felt that his body was full of strength.

This sense of power is really too real.

Rao is in Muye's state of mind, and his heart can't help but feel a sense of joy.

This sense of joy is so real that Makino can't help but want to fight another hundred fights.

I have to say that the routine has won the hearts of the people since ancient times!

And at this moment, in front of Makino, another pop-up window appeared.

The moment he saw this pop-up window, Makino couldn't help but be stunned.

[Congratulations to player Makino for becoming the first player to upgrade to level 2 since the launch of the server, and the extra bonus sword skill [Heavy Slash].] 】

[Skill introduction: When the player takes the upper pose for three seconds, the sword skill will superimpose the heavy attack effect, resulting in a 100% critical hit effect.] 】

[Because it is an additional reward, it does not occupy the level skill column.] 】

Seeing this effect, Makino couldn't help but become happy.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the setting of skills in SAO.

At level 1, a skill;

At level 6, two skills;

At level 12, there are three skills;

At level 20, four skills.

Later, a skill is added every 10 levels.

It doesn't occupy the skill column, this is the most important thing, and Makino is equivalent to having one more skill than the average player.

On top of that, this skill also deals 100% critical hits.

This is undoubtedly equivalent to a sharp weapon to grab people's heads!

In the game, whether it is the drop of experience, gold, or equipment, it is basically the person who gives the final blow that drops the most.

With this head-grabbing weapon, Makino can almost grow like a snowball.

It's no wonder that some people say that the system skills drawn at level 1 may be the most practical skills.

In Kirito's words, there is definitely a limit to a single brush.

When Makino reaches a certain level in solo brushing, he definitely needs to team up with others.

Then, this heavy blow slash gave him the potential to become a head dog.

It's cool to grab people's heads for a while, and it's always cool to grab people's heads all the time!

As for Makino's first skill, it is called [Vertical Slash].

I have to say, it's so unpretentious.

The effect is also very simple, and when performing a vertical slash, the attack is increased by 10%.

From this, it can also be seen how high the weight of Makino, the first in the whole server, is to obtain the effect of this heavy hit.

The sun is setting.

With a wave of hunger hitting, Makino and Kirito both stopped farming monsters.

However, both of them are a little unsatisfied with each other.

Makino is slightly better, the game is just a game.

After all, for Makino, this game world has greatly weakened him.

Although the gameplay is very novel and comfortable, it will be greatly discounted.

But.

For a person like Kirito who lives in the real world without any martial arts, SAO, a world of swords and sword skills, is like a fantasy world.

It has the magic of making people forget to sleep and eat!

And at this moment, a bell rang.

Kirito was suddenly surprised, how could this big bell ring for no reason?

Makino knew it in an instant.

When the bell rings, it means that the SAO game is about to start announcing the real gameplay.

A burst of white light surged, and Makino and Kirito were immediately teleported to the square of the town of initiation.

Not only that, but white lights lit up one after another around the two of them.

Soon, on the square of the starting town, there were figures one after another, and the square was soon crowded with a large number of players.

"This ...... This is the Town of the Beginning? ”

"Am I not farming in the wild?"

"Could it be that this is the [transfer] mentioned on the official website?"

"What the hell is going on? I only need one knife to hack that wolf to death......"

The vast majority of players, who are playing the rise, don't know what's going on.

This forced transfer by the official has caused dissatisfaction among many players.

However, many players who try to log out find that they can't find the button to log out, knowing that this is a bug in the game.

It is estimated that the operator forcibly summoned them to the square to solve the BUG.

Many players even clamored for the official to compensate for the damage.

This statement has been recognized by many players.

After all, making a fortune depends on bug fixes.

For non-chieftain players who rely on their livers, bug fixes are a shortcut to making a fortune.

The crowd was disturbing, the noise was getting louder and louder, and the atmosphere of anxiety and dissatisfaction permeated the audience.

Although there was a lot of dissatisfaction, the atmosphere in the square was normal, and there was no such mood called panic.

For the vast majority of players, this half-day game is really unusually enjoyable, and it is worthy of being a cross-era invention.

Even if there is a slight bug, you can fully understand it.

Sensing the disturbances around him, Makino was calm throughout the whole process, these unlucky poor children, oh, don't you know yet, what is called "Kayaba Jinghiko's anti-addiction".

"What's that...?"

Looking at the scene in mid-air, many players were stunned.

Saw.

Above the square, at the bottom of the second floor, there is a layer of bright red checkerboard-like patterns, without any premonition.

In the center of it, it was like a huge drop of blood that was rather viscous, and it began to drip from it.

It's just that the blood did not drip on the ground, but changed shape in mid-air.

It wasn't long before a crimson cloak nearly twenty meters tall appeared.

That's right.

Cloak.

There is no body inside, and there is no face in the position of the head, showing a black hollow.

It didn't have any flesh, not even the front of the cuffs with arms sticking out, just pure white gloves, as if some invisible man had put it on.

This kind of shape is very similar to the shape of a traditional network hacker.

In addition, this way of appearing with blood dripping from the sky gives people an extremely ominous feeling, which makes everyone feel very uncomfortable.

The next second, a magnetic voice came from inside the cloak.

"Welcome to my world."

"Minecraft?"

Many players were stunned, who dares to use these four words to describe SAO?

However, the red cloak is not meant to make everyone guess.

The red cloak introduced herself in an emotionless voice.

"I'm Akihiko Kayaba, I'm sure everyone here knows me, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the players in the entire square were stunned.

"Akihiko Kayaba?"

Makino was not surprised, but Kirito was unusually surprised.

Because, this name, Kirito not only knows, but also has some admiration for him, and even regards him as an idol.

To be more precise, it should be said that everyone who plays this game will know about it.

"I'm the developer and producer of the game, Sword Art Online, and the base designer of the console NERvGear."

"Game designer and quantum physicist———— Akihiko Kayaba."

"Now, this improvised virtual body that appears in front of you is me."

The man named Akihiko Kayaba introduced himself in a faint voice, making everyone lose their voices.

"Is he Akihiko Kayaba?"

Although he had known everything that might happen for a long time, he just watched Akihiko Kayaba introduce himself.

Makino still feels an extremely stylish feeling!

Akihiko Aoba is also one of the most charismatic villains.

And as if to break the unusual silence of the scene, Akihiko Kayaba spoke again.

"I think you've noticed that the [Logout] button has disappeared from the main menu, right?"

Kayaba Akihiko said this.

"Don't worry, it's not like there's something wrong with the game, it's ...... That's how the game works! ”

Akihiko Kayaba's words made all the players present more and more confused.

Can't log out, is the original gameplay of the game?

Are you kidding?

It was only at this time that many players realized that something was wrong, and an extremely bad guess could not be contained.

But how is that possible?

"kidnapping" so many players at once, is Akihiko Kayaba crazy?

And Akihiko Aoba's next explanation made everyone fall into an ice cave.

"To put it simply, from today onwards, you will all be inhabitants of this world, and you will not be able to leave here."

Akihiko Kayaba dropped a bombshell, and the brains of the players who exploded for a while went blank.

"Unless you can fully tackle the game and reach the top of Ayn Grant, you'll be here forever."
