This guy wearing a thick cloak and sitting alone in the corner is naturally the "model worker" Asuna.

Speaking of this, I have to say hard work to Ben Zina.

In this sub-world, Asuna has dominated the list for a long time, and I don't know how many friends have learned some strange knowledge from Teacher Asuna.

cough cough cough ...... Far from it!

This also reflects Asuna's super popularity.

However, looking at Asuna's appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away, Makino had no intention of getting over.

At the same time, Diabel's strategy meeting also started directly.

The strategy meeting is mainly for intelligence sharing, as well as to determine the strategy plan.

For this strategy meeting, Makino was quiet on the surface, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Makino, who is familiar with the plot, naturally knows all kinds of information about the kobold lord Ilfang.

After all, it's the boss of the first layer, and no matter how difficult it is, it won't be much harder.

The core reason why there were so many casualties in the first month was that the players' mentality could not be reversed, and they tried to escape from the game of SAO in a short period of time.

So much so that all kinds of greedy merit are aggressive, even the original beta players are no exception.

They tried in vain to surpass everyone in one fell swoop by relying on the intelligence, information, and experience of the closed beta period, and were the first to obtain a sufficient level of security.

Then, they were killed by batch after batch of misinformation.

Good swimmers drowned, and among the players who died in the first month, the original beta players accounted for a considerable proportion.

Even with Makino's kind reminder, the casualties were still heavy.

It was like a world war, and before the war began, everyone believed that the war would be over in a matter of months, whether it was the Allies or the Entente, civilians and elites.

Then, there are all kinds of meat grinders.

As for the three or four years of the first big war, it is beyond everyone's imagination.

In Makino's view, with these players on the scene, they are actually able to do a harmless strategy.

The main reason why there were deaths and injuries in the original book was that Diabel, as a player of the original closed beta, trusted too much in the information obtained during the closed beta.

Then he was selfish and wanted to monopolize the economy and drop items.

As a result, there are all kinds of tragedies that follow.

Makino knew a lot about this, but he didn't mean to say it.

He has no way to explain the source of the information at all, and he is just asking for trouble.

Save Diabel's life at the most critical moment!

What Makino really wants to do is actually to incorporate all the players on the scene.

It is no exaggeration to say that the players gathered here today can be said to be the group of players who are currently standing at the top of SAO.

The vast majority of them have reached level 8 and 9, and there are even those who are equal to Makino and Kirito in terms of level.

The number is sparse, but it accounts for the vast majority of upgrade resources.

It's the kind of rare player who still wants to fight and dares to fight after seeing the tragic sacrifice.

Whether it is technical or psychological quality, it is one in a thousand.

If this group of players can be successfully recruited, the benefits to Makino in this exam will definitely be no less.

Seeing these players on the scene, Makino's eyes flashed with light.

At the same time, Diabel also talked endlessly in the field.

The location of the boss, the name of the boss, the weapon of the boss, the attack pattern of the boss.

This made many players present extremely excited!

There is a very different difference between having intelligence and not having it.

Diabel looked solemn and said, "We must defeat the boss, reach the second layer, and tell everyone who is still waiting in the town of origin that this death game will end one day." ”

"That is the responsibility and obligation of all of us gathered here now. Right, everyone? ”

As soon as Diabel spoke, the crowd that was still whispering just now became quiet.

Even Makino felt an unprecedented heaviness and responsibility from this sentence.

Despite Diabel's move, the core purpose is to use the many players present to help him get the drop items of the kobold lord Ilfang.

But it is undeniable that Diabel is indeed quite bold and means.

Selfishness, who doesn't have this?

Even if it is Makino, the "Grand Duke and Selfless" left a game guide for many latecomers, but the premise is that he took the lead in monopolizing the vast majority of upgrade resources.

Diabel's words instantly resonated with the vast majority of players.

To be able to come here to hold a strategy meeting, at least there is still the courage to do so.

Even if it is not for everyone, there is no mention of any responsibility and obligation.

Definitely don't want to be trapped in the game as a prisoner all the time!

At the scene, there were bursts of applause soon, and some players even whistled directly.

Diabel: "Okay, so let's start with a team of six. ”

Soon, a group of players on the scene began to gather together and add each other as friends.

And Makino, Kirito, and Asuna, the three of them were directly alone.

And then.

Makino and Kirito came to Asuna's side as they could, and asked to form a team.

I have to say that Diabel is a very good "matchmaker".

However, Asuna at this time was still quite cold and autistic.

Kirito: "Are you left alone?" ”

Asuna didn't look back, "I'm not alone, it's just that the people around me are acting like companions, so I'll avoid it myself!" ”

Kirito: "A solo player?" ”

Kirito: "So, do you want to team up with me?" Speaking of which, the boss can't be attacked alone......"

Asuna was skeptical.

Stare at~~~

Kirito was busy remedy, "It's just this once." ”

Asuna reluctantly nodded.

Makino was a little happy about this.

Asuna can only be cold for a while!

Maybe Makino's smile was too rude, and Asuna couldn't help but glare at Makino even though she was wearing a hooded cloak.

Obviously, this first impression was so bad that it almost ruined Kirito's hard work.

Kirito was a little speechless and didn't understand.

You know, the plain Kirito is quite calm.

What's more, until now he didn't understand why Makino suddenly laughed so rudely.

on this.

Makino didn't take it too seriously!

The wall is thousands of feet, and there is no desire to be rigid.

For Makino, the current world of swords is just an exam.

After all, it's just a passerby, so there's no need to get too much involved here.

Once you've added friends, you're done teaming up.

Diabel was just about to move on to the next event when he was interrupted by a rough voice.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to find that the person who spoke was a guy with a hedgehog head, wearing leather armor and wristbands, carrying an iron sword, with an uncle's face, and looking like he was twenty or thirty years old.

He's not the Tooth King of Zuan, and who is he?

The Tooth King stood in the middle of the field, gave a thumbs up, aimed at himself, and looked like he was being dragged into two hundred and five.

"Lao Tzu is called the Tooth King, before I fight the boss, I have something to say. In it, someone has to apologize to the thousands of people who died. ”

As soon as the tooth king spoke, the scene suddenly boiled.

Diabel continued, "Mr. Tooth King, the people you are talking about are the previous closed beta players?" ”

Tooth King: "Do you need to talk about it?" ”

"The guys who completed the closed beta left the rookies and disappeared on the day this damn game started. They monopolize good hunting grounds, simple tasks, and only care about their own banging to become stronger. I don't care about other people's business, there should be something here, the guy who completed the closed beta! ”

"They must be made to kneel and confess their mistakes and spit out the money and goods they have saved. Otherwise, as a partner in the same team, you can't trust your life. ”

The Tooth King's words were so aggressive and justified that Kiritto couldn't help but shudder.

In this regard, Makino was dismissive.

He doesn't have the sense of crisis of "social death" like the Japanese, but he believes more in e-sports, and food is the original sin.

The so-called "social death" is mainly when a person commits a certain mistake, he will be attacked and isolated by the collective.

It's a bit similar to "cyber violence" and "group bullying"!

This is especially true in Japanese society.

Even if SAO is a game world, it still can't get rid of this shackle.

In the Celestial Empire, that may not be the same.

Collective punching is likely to fail miserably......

Of course.

For Makino, the rise of the Tooth King is actually not a good thing.

"Wait, can I say that?"

Just when Kirito felt "shivering and cold", Makino's voice directly spread throughout the entire meeting site.

Kirito looked at Makino in surprise, and Asuna was no exception.

Seeing Makino walking straight into the field, Asuna was particularly surprised, and she wanted to know what Makino was going to do.

Makino looked at the Tooth King and said, "My name is Makino, Mr. Tooth King, what do you think the closed beta player is?" Your mom and dad? Look at your age, you're also an adult, don't you feel mentally retarded when you ask closed beta players to hand over money and items? ”

Grunt!

When everyone heard Makino's words, they were all dumbfounded.

This is too polite to say!

Many people looked at the Tooth King, especially Makino's "adult", which made everyone look weird.

That's a bit too polite!

Mo said that it was someone else, and even Diabel's eyes flashed with a hint of happiness.

Makino's words really spoke to his heart.

As a closed beta player, everyone is really shouting and beating now, and several closed beta players who have exposed their identities have no good end.

However, Diabel looked at Makino strangely, what he said was not beautiful!

Not only did it exacerbate the conflict, but it also exposed the identity of the closed beta player.

The Tooth King's face turned blue and purple, and after a few seconds, he pointed at Makino and bitten, "I know, you are a closed beta player, you must be a closed beta player, right.....?" Get down on your knees and admit your mistake! ”

Sonor!

Makino directly pulled out the Fallen Frost behind his back, and instantly put the sword on the neck of the Tooth King.

The speed at which Makino took out his sword was really too fast, so that everyone didn't catch the slightest trajectory at all.

This unfolding directly blinded everyone's eyes.

At the scene, it suddenly became audible that no one thought that Makino would dare to draw his sword directly at other players.

Doesn't he want to go into town again?

It is absolutely forbidden to initiate PK without authorization in the circle, and if you don't do it well, you will become a criminal player.

Mo said that it was someone else, and even Kirito was dumbfounded.

Cold sweat broke out on the Tooth King's forehead, and he stammered, "You...... What are you doing? ”

This game is not the same as it used to be, and if you die, you are really dead.

Makino looked at the Tooth King and said leisurely, "Tooth King, do you think that being weak is reasonable?" Can morally kidnap everyone? ”

The Tooth King's mouth opened and closed, but he didn't say a word.

Makino's words directly stripped off all excuses, allowing him to be nakedly slapped in the face.

Seeing the performance of the Tooth King, Makino laughed directly, "I also asked the closed beta players to kneel down and apologize, and hand over all the props and money." How noble can a person who can say such a thing be morally noble? Wasn't this damn game designed by Akihiko Kayaba? Why don't you let Akihiko Kayaba kneel down and apologize? ”

Grunt!

Everyone swallowed.

What are you telling the truth?

They were scared, afraid of Makino's words, which directly angered Akihiko Kayaba.

This is Akihiko Kayaba's world!

Fortunately, Akihiko Kayaba's heavenly punishment did not happen.

And at this moment, everyone saw Makino's fingers connected.

Soon, several pieces of paper filled with words appeared in Makino's hands.

Everyone was puzzled and didn't know what Makino was going to do.

Makino said directly, "From the second town onwards, everyone can see the original manuscript of the game guide, handwritten, and everyone can circulate it......"

As soon as Makino said a word, the scene suddenly became a sensation.

Game Guide, this is SAO's best-selling book at the moment.

What the original manuscript meant here in Makino, everyone understood it immediately.

It can be said that almost the vast majority of players have been helped by the game guide.

Not only that, but it has also caused a sensation, and even formed a kind of "information sharing" atmosphere.

It is no exaggeration to say that Makino, who wrote the Game Guide, is a common benefactor to all players.

Makino: "As you might expect, I proposed to write the Game Guide and then completed it with my friends. ”

"At that time, a hundred copies were made, and in order to allow more people to see it, a tablet was engraved at the entrance of the second town. Later, one after another, every small town, did the same. Nowadays, it is a common practice. ”

Makino's words are sonorous and strike on everyone's heart.

Even Kirito was shocked, and it felt like he was getting to know Makino for the first time.

Instantly.

Everyone looked at Makino's gaze, and they softened a lot!

On the spot, there are quite a lot of people who have received the blessing of Makino.

Don't say that it is someone else, even the Tooth King himself, has been helped by the guide.

The Tooth King gritted his teeth, and his face became more and more ugly.

Sonor!

Makino retracted his sword and slowly put it into its scabbard.

"Everyone, by now, if you still treat this game as a game, I can only say that you may not be far from death."

When a word falls, a needle drop can be heard.

It's really Makino's words, which are too alarmist.

Those who can sit here are all talented players with excellent psychological quality.

But.

Makino's words, that is still quite convincing.

Because, on the first floor of Ayn Grant, almost all the towns have game guide monuments.

In other words, Makino is definitely the ceiling of everyone's level and combat power here!

Seeing the way everyone listened, Makino nodded suddenly.

That's what he wants, if he wants to subdue these elites, how can he do it if he doesn't come out first?

Makino: "SAO is reality, the real world of all our prisoners, no more fantasies that will break through the game in a few months. ”

"As for the naïve words of making closed beta players spit out experience and money, let alone that. Otherwise, it will only appear ill-intentioned and naïve! ”

"Everyone who can sit here is a high-level player who stands out from tens of thousands of people. Who has eaten a little less experience and economy than whom? ”

"When you fought monsters and leveled up, did you think about how many timid players there are in the starting town, and you still don't dare to leave the town?"

Muye's torture, like Hong Zhong Dalu, is tantamount to a slap in the face for everyone.

But.

The Japanese worship the strong, and that's something that is engraved in their bones.

Now, Makino's words not only did not arouse their rebellious mentality, but they all felt guilty.

As for the Tooth King, who was stomped on by Makino again, his face suddenly turned green.

This time, it's really a chicken steal, and the rice is kicked to the iron plate!

Makino: "The players who were able to sit here have almost all risen to the upper limit of the first layer in the first layer. Are you the ones who are missing that little stuff from the Closed Beta players? ”

These words are very beautiful, and they undoubtedly tickle everyone's itch.

That's right, they're top-notch players, they're geniuses among geniuses, and there's really no shortage of that thing.

The scene suddenly became much more relaxed.

Perceiving all this, Diabel was speechless.

The limelight has been completely stolen!

Seeing that Makino was about to step down, Diabel breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy Makino is a strong rival in the back!

The last sentence of Makino just slapped everyone's sycophants, and the suspicion of stealing the concept is really too great.

Who says they don't lack that little thing?

They are lacking!

Resources are limited, and those that can be grabbed by closed beta players are the best equipment, props, and materials.

However, nowadays, no one dares to take the lead directly.

Seeing Makino step down, King Ya hated, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

A guy like Makino who draws his sword at every turn is not easy to mess with.

Not to mention, Makino is still the fastest and farthest player, and he can't beat it nine times out of ten.

And at this moment, Makino's words came again.

"Uncle Tooth King, it's a good thing to have a childlike heart, but you still have to mature early...... Also, don't kidnap other people so morally in the future...... The heart of playing tactics is dirty, don't leave such an impression on others. I don't know if I'm going to die socially! ”

Everyone: "......"

The tooth king trembled, his heart was aggrieved, and he almost cried out.

Is there an end? Is there any end to it?

He was wrong, please let it go!

As for such a brow, will it be repaid?

As for it?

Also, he's not an uncle!

He just looks old, looks old, that's all!

There was silence.

The host Diabel was speechless, and once again raised Makino's danger level by three notches.

Such a guy who must be avenged, can't be provoked, can't be provoked, can't be provoked!

Field.

Asuna, who had been wearing a hood and cloak, burst out laughing with a snort.

She suddenly found that Makino, a rude guy, seemed to be quite interesting.

As for the previous rudeness, looking back now, it seems to be very polite.

Scene.

The only exception is Kirito, I'm afraid.

Because, except for Kirito, no one knows that Makino is not a closed beta player!

[Is Makino trying to help him dispel his fears?] ]

Seeing Makino's resolute face, Kirito appeared again and again, grateful.

Unlike others, Kirito knows that Makino is actually a very kind and easy person to get along with.

Thinking of everything Makino did for him, Kirito was moved, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
