Within Alpheim, the nine races occupy eight regions, spread across the continent.

However, in the center of Alpheim, there is also a neutral zone.

In that neutral area, there is a fairly large neutral city.

It is known as the Central Metropolis ———— Arun.

Arun, on the other hand, was built on the roots of a gigantic tree.

The huge tree is the ———— World Tree.

"The inside of the world tree is a large dome-shaped temple, there is an entrance above the dome, from where you can climb to the inside of the world tree, all the way to the top, as long as you reach the air city at the top, and meet the elf king Oberon, then your own race will be collectively reincarnated as the elf of light, and the restriction of staying in the sky will be eliminated forever, so all kinds of races have always taken this as the goal, and want to attack the world tree."

Lifa talked eloquently.

"However, in the temple inside the World Tree, there are NPC Guardian Knight Legions, they are very powerful, so far, each race has launched several raids on the World Tree, but they have all been wiped out by the Guardian Knight Legion, even the most powerful fire elves among the nine races have never attacked the World Tree and reached the top of the World Tree."

Speaking of which, Lifa herself was a little frustrated.

"So, it's been a year since the official launch of ALO, and no one has been able to reach the top of the world tree and be reincarnated as a spirit of light, because of this matter, there was a big intelligence website last autumn that collected a lot of signatures, asking the operator of "RECT" to improve the balance of the game, so that players can attack the world tree normally, but in exchange for the formulaic answer of "this game is operated under the appropriate balance", so that all kinds of races began to appear "There will never be a way to attack the world tree" The remarks of the remarks. ”

And if no one can ever conquer the World Tree, then no one will ever be able to reincarnate as a Spirit of Light.

If you can never be reincarnated as a spirit of light, you will never be able to remove the restriction from the sky.

Players can only fly for a limited time and under limited conditions, as if they were shackled with wings.

This makes it too uncomfortable for people who have tasted the freedom of flying, especially people like Lifa.

As a result, the various races regard the World Tree as their ultimate goal, and continue to play the game for this reason.

"I heard that the fire elves are going to launch an offensive against the World Tree again, so they have been collecting money and props, buying all the equipment, and preparing all the props, and they are bound to reach the top of the World Tree."

Lifa's tone began to turn unpleasant.

"Because of this, the fire elves' already strong aggression has become more unscrupulous, and in order to collect money and props, they do not hesitate to attack players of other races outside the circle."

The advantage of this is that it can threaten the player, if you don't want to be killed, then obediently hand over your whole wealth, so that you can get it for nothing.

And once killed, unless someone uses resurrection magic on themselves, otherwise, after a minute, if they are teleported back to the territory, the proficiency of various skills will decrease, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Money and items are not so precious compared to skill proficiency that is difficult to improve.

So, unless it's a very rare item, no one wants to be killed.

In addition, if you are killed, about 30% of the unequipped money and items on your body will be dropped.

In view of this, in the eyes of those who want to kill people and overhaul goods, players are mobile warehouses one by one, ready to be extracted.

Of course, if there is a team, then there can be a safety slot, and the items that are placed in this slot will automatically teleport to the team player when they die, and will not be dropped.

However, this can't stop others from wanting to kill people and sell goods, as long as you can wipe out the team, you can still get a very good harvest.

Due to the adjacent territories of the wind elves and the fire elves, there is constant friction between each other, and there has been a struggle between the forces, so the wind elf race is the target of bullying by the fire elf race, and has tasted a lot of hardships.

This made Lifa's tone full of indignation, and Luo Zhen couldn't help but laugh back to the indignation when he mentioned the fire elves before he logged in.

It's just that, compared to this question...

"The World Tree and the Elven King Oberon..."

Luo Zhen touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Since it is the main strategy target of all players in this world, this so-called world tree, do you have to take a look?

Perhaps, there, there is a clue that Luo Zhen is looking for.

Moreover...

"If the three hundred players, including Asuna, were in this world, where would they be?"

Surely it is somewhere no one can find out, or no one can reach?

Otherwise, once those players were discovered, the news would have spread all over the Internet, and everyone would have known about it.

Now, isn't such a place that no one has discovered, or that no one can reach, been mentioned?

Although no one has yet been able to conquer the World Tree, it is precisely because of this...

"That's interesting."

Luo Zhen pouted and laughed.

So, Luo Zhen made a decision.

"After buying all the equipment and props in Si Yiluban, we will set off directly and head to the central city of Arun."

This is what Luo Zhen should do next.

"Then again, speaking of equipment and props..."

Luo Zhen suddenly remembered something, opened the main window, clicked on the prop bar, and browsed inside.

I saw that the inventory that was almost blank was full of various props at this moment.

Because Luo Zhen set it to visual mode, Lifa also saw Luo Zhen's inventory.

"It's... The drop items accumulated from the strategy just now...? ”

Lifa was stunned at first, and then suddenly shocked again.

Before, because of Luo Zhen's inhuman performance, Lifa forgot that if you kill monsters, you will drop money and props.

And Luo Zhen alone slaughtered almost the entire group of monsters in the canyon, and what the harvest was, think about it clearly.

"It's so rich in drop rewards, I've seen several very rare items, it's amazing...!"

Lifa was very excited.

Even if Luo Zhen is just a newcomer to the game, with the harvest just now, his net worth can be compared to some wealthy top players.

It's just that this is under the condition that Luo Zhen hasn't gotten together the equipment yet.

Players spend almost all of their net worth on a piece of equipment in order to obtain higher ability values and achieve higher strength.

Like Luo Zhen, I don't know how much money was spent on a piece of equipment in SAO, and sometimes a piece of equipment can be compared to a house.

Therefore, the more top players actually know how to spend money, otherwise they can't be strong at all.

And the more you know how to spend money, the less rich your net worth will be.

For example, Luo Zhen only has millions of money left, and the rest is used to configure various equipment and props to cultivate demons and even players, and the cost is not low at all.

Luo Zhen's current net worth, if he wants to configure a good set of equipment, it is estimated that there will be no one in ten.

But in the end, Luo Zhen can still get stronger.

Knowing this, it is impossible for Lifa not to be excited.

It's a pity that Lifa doesn't know that Luo Zhen's net worth is not only the ones he just harvested, but also the millions of Urut transferred from SAO.

Together, you can configure a high-performance outfit.

And...

"Huh?"

Luo Zhen's hand flipping the prop column suddenly paused, raised his eyebrows, and laughed.

"Looks like we're off to a good start."

As he spoke, Luo Zhen ordered a certain prop and materialized it.
