The Town of Initiation.

The members of the Moonlit Black Cats all gathered in the Town of Beginning.

After submitting the mission, the Moonlit Night Black Cat Troupe's guild funds finally saved up 200,000 Colles. At everyone's suggestion, President Keita decided to buy a house in the Town of Beginnings, a house that belonged to the Moonlit Night Black Cat Troupe, to make the guild feel more at home.

"So, I'm going to buy a house." Keita left alone after talking to everyone.

"Finally we have a house of our own!"

"yes, I don't have to stay in a hotel anymore."

"Everyone, listen to me~"

At this time, Dakar's voice attracted everyone's attention. (It seems that I forgot to introduce the names of other members, hawkers, passers-by A, B, C, etc.)

"Do you want to take advantage of this time to go to the high-rise maze area to make a profit?" Dakar looked excited. Usually Keita is relatively calm, even if there are Xu Qingsheng and Kirito in the guild, he did not take the guild members to the high-level maze area, and always practiced in the maze area of the same level as himself.

At this time, Keita went to buy a house alone, and others were also a little moved. I also want to go to the top to see it.

Kirito felt that it didn't matter, his level was the highest, he was already LV35, and it didn't make sense to him whether to go to the 24th floor or the 27th floor. He just wants to be with everyone.

Xu Qingsheng's heart moved, and the group annihilation incident in the original book started here. He didn't stop him, he just went, and just solved the crisis.

"Then let's go!" Seeing that no one objected, Dakar, who proposed it, said excitedly.

The group walked through the maze area on the 27th floor, and the monsters along the way had been cleaned up.

Xu Qingsheng and Kirito were specially asked not to make a move for the time being, because the others didn't want to grow under their protection all the time, and they also wanted to see how far they could go.

It is worth mentioning that in the original book, Keita considered enhancing the equipment for the members did not appear, after all, whether it is Xu Qingsheng or Kirito, they can independently level up in the high-level maze area, and there is no shortage of equipment, and it is still possible to take out some equipment to arm everyone, so at this time, everyone's equipment is already very good, and there is no need to enhance it.

"It's not bad, it's a perfect fit."

"yes, I can't imagine that they have grown so fast in just a few days."

Looking at everyone's performance, Xu Qingsheng, who had nothing to do on the side, chatted quietly with Kirito.

"But isn't it too inefficient?" Kirito saw the problem, several people were not badly equipped and had strong defenses, but the efficiency of the output was too low.

"Well, output or something, aren't we there?" Xu Qingsheng didn't care, and continued: "In this world, not everyone has such a strong talent as you, and not everyone has the luck of me. ”

As he spoke, Xu Qingsheng pointed to the bloody slaughterer on his back.

"For most players, staying alive is the most important thing, and everything is built on staying alive. So I adjusted the direction specifically for them, focusing on doing a good job of defense, protecting myself and talking about other things. ”

Hearing Xu Qingsheng say this, Kirito also felt that there was some truth.

Speaking of which, isn't everyone working so hard at SAO just to get out early? So protect yourself first and then talk about the rest. And just like Xu Qingsheng said, there is still him and Xu Qingsheng.

"Is there only this level on the 27th floor?"

"I have long said that I can go to the top, but Keita has always disagreed."

"Alright, let's move on!"

Just as the group was about to go deeper, Kadar suddenly stopped.

"Look, what is this?"

The group looked in the direction of Kadar's finger, and the wall next to it was slightly different, with a pattern on it.

Kadar placed his palm on it, and a complex pattern appeared on the wall, and then moved to the side, revealing the dark room behind.

"Hidden room? Appearing here? "Kirito is more curious, the strategy team didn't say that they had explored the entire maze area, but they had also explored most of it, how could they miss a hidden room?

"Get ready for battle, the scene inside is not something a few of them can solve." Xu Qingsheng walked up to Kirito's side and whispered.

Everyone entered the room, and in the empty room, only a treasure chest lay quietly in the middle.

"Oh yes! Good luck, it's a treasure chest! Kadar's eyes lit up when he saw the chest, and he couldn't wait to open it.

"Wait a minute, don't ......" Kirito already sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to stop Kadar and not open the treasure chest, but was pulled by Xu Qingsheng.

Facing Kirito's puzzled gaze, Xu Qingsheng smiled slightly: "I believe in them." ”

Seeing Xu Qingsheng like this, Kirito stopped talking, but silently pulled out two long swords from behind his back. He's ready to go all out!

"Not good! It's a trap! As soon as Kadar opened the box, the scene in the room changed.

The entire room is a dark red, and monsters are constantly spawning.

"Assemble!" I don't know who shouted, several people quickly gathered together, put up a defensive formation, and protected Xu Qingsheng and Kirito in the middle.

Kirito, who was about to rush out to protect everyone, was stunned, and didn't understand why everyone was protecting him and Xu Qingsheng.

"Let's watch them perform!" Xu Qingsheng was not surprised, it was originally a tactic arranged by him, and the purpose was to cultivate everyone's awareness of defense.

"I can't see the monster level, defense is the main!"

"It's all close-quarters monsters, and no special monsters have been found."

"The monster attack is average, and it can withstand it!"

Everyone kept exchanging information, and it turned out that they withstood the first wave of attacks from monsters!

Kirito was stunned, he hadn't seen everyone cooperate so tacitly since he joined the guild, and usually leveling up was just everyone gathering monsters together, he and Xu Qingsheng output, he had never seen such a scene.

Xu Qingsheng was very satisfied with their performance, and felt almost over: "Spread out!" ”

Hearing this, everyone spread out to both sides, exposing Xu Qingsheng to the monster's sight.

Kirito clenched his two long swords in both hands, ready to attack with Xu Qingsheng.

"Just look at it, he's amazing!" Yukito's voice rang in Kirito's ears, dispelling the idea of Kirito going to help. Actually, Kirito doesn't think that Xu Qingsheng will have problems here, but there are a lot of monsters, and it is estimated that Xu Qingsheng will not be able to solve it for a while, right?

Kirito, who picked a monster at random and was about to take a look at the attributes, was suddenly stunned, and then shouted: "Retreat!" Monsters are level 40! ”

However, it was too late. Xu Qingsheng heard Kirito's words, but his body had already rushed out.
