After Xu Qingsheng's explanation, Asuna also became interested in mastering the skills.

I didn't know that there was such a hidden setting before, but since Xu Qingsheng said it, there is naturally no reason not to care about it if he knows the method.

"I'm sorry for asking you such a difficult question." Asuna also reacted, how could she ask directly about such a secret thing, but it seemed that Xu Qingsheng didn't mean to be angry, and actually told her.

"Speaking of which, we're the same. The first day I learned that dying in this game would really die, and I was really scared. ”

As she spoke, Asuna's eyes darkened.

"But it's useless to be afraid, I don't want to be like those who stay in the town of Origin and don't dare to go out, and pin all my hopes of leaving this game on others, so I have to pick up my sword and choose to fight!"

Xu Qingsheng suddenly didn't know how to comfort the strong girl in front of him. Unwilling to cowardly wait for the result, even if he is afraid, he still chooses to fight strongly, and takes hope into his own hands.

"Even though I'm scared to death, I still want to stay true to myself. Even if he dies in the end, he wants to prove that he has worked hard to live in this world. ”

Have you tried to prove yourself?

"Hawkers, don't worry too much, you will definitely succeed in clearing the customs, and everyone will leave this world safely." Feeling that Asuna's mood was a little low, Xu Qingsheng comforted her.

"Yes! Definitely! That's why you have to work hard to get stronger! Asuna was also cheering herself up, as if she had regained her confidence.

Hearing this, Xu Qingsheng seemed to suddenly think of something. He remembered that in the original book, after the success of the first layer of the boss strategy, Kirito said something to Asuna, but due to the appearance of Xu Qingsheng, there was no such thing as players being hostile to the beta sealer, and there was no such thing as Kirito saying that he was a cheater in order to attract hatred, and when he went to the second floor alone, he said to Asuna.

Xu Qingsheng didn't know if it would have an impact on Asuna without this passage, he tried hard to recall, and said: "You will become stronger, so in the future, if someone trustworthy invites you to join the union, don't refuse!" There is an absolute limit to a single brush. ”

"Unions?" Asuna wondered.

"Well, that guy from Kirito! He told me that players can form a guild after reaching a certain number of levels. ”

"That's ......" Asuna seemed to understand or not, but still remembered this passage in her heart.

......

Time passed in a hurry, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the strategy group has reached the 27th floor, which undoubtedly increases the confidence of more and more players, so that more and more players have walked out of the starting town and chose to pick up the sword in their hands to fight.

It is worth mentioning that when the player reaches the 20th floor, the Guild gameplay is unlocked.

All of a sudden, the self-formed unions of players sprung up like mushrooms.

Large guilds, such as the Blood Alliance Knights established by Diabel, the army, the Holy Dragon United, etc., are active at the highest level and make great contributions to the strategy bosses.

There are also unions formed by scattered people, such as Fenglin Volcano, Golden Apple, a union composed of several familiar people, which is slowly developing, and the popularity is not as high as that of the big unions, but there is no shortage of players who can follow the big guild to attack the boss together.

Inside a tavern on the 18th floor.

"Cheers to our moonlit black cat group!"

"Cheers!" The members of the Six Months Night Black Cats raised their glasses and bumped into each other. The atmosphere was very warm for a while.

"Then, cheers to our savior, Kirito!"

"Oh~ Cheers!"

The six of them raised their glasses again, and looked at Kirito who was holding the glass and was in a state of obscenity.

"Ah...... Haha......" Kirito laughed dryly, scratched his head, and looked at the six people of the black cat group on a moonlit night.

That's right, six people! Isn't it strange why the black cat group on a moonlit night of 5 people in the original book became 6 people?

"I said, why are you here?" Kirito looked at the extra man.

It was Xu Qingsheng.

Xu Qingsheng smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and replied, "What's the matter, can't I process it?" ”

"It's not like this, it's just ......" Suddenly, Kirito noticed Xu Qingsheng's level-LV24, and swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.

"It turns out that Xu Qingsheng and Kirito-kun know each other!" Feeling that the atmosphere between the two was a little delicate, the leader of the Black Cat Group on a moonlit night stood up and said.

In other words, why Xu Qingsheng joined the Black Cat Group on a Moonlit Night has to start from half a month ago.

Since the last time he separated from Kirito and Asuna, Xu Qingsheng just followed the strategy group to attack the boss, and the leveling did not choose the highest level, but at a lower level.

As for why he didn't go to the top, in Xu Qingsheng's words, he didn't have a thorough understanding of combat skills, and he could improve at the bottom, so why should he take risks at the top?

One day half a month ago, Xu Qingsheng was leveling up alone in the maze area on the 12th floor, and suddenly a team of players was running away with a large number of monsters!

"Hey! People in front, hurry up and run! There are a lot of monsters in the back! ”

Xu Qingsheng was shocked when he saw a large group of monsters behind the five people! He wanted to ask: how did you manage to attract so many monsters?

However, if you think about it, there is no time to ask, so let's run first!

After running for a long time, Xu Qing was born in the front, and the five people were behind, and finally-

Run into the depths of the labyrinth!

"There's a dead end ahead! What to do? Seeing that there was no road ahead, the leader of the squad shouted, expecting answers from the others.

"Everyone, I'm sorry...... It's all my fault. The only girl in the team said timidly, and tears flowed out of her eyes.

"It's not your fault! Luckily, we've fought the monsters! A spearman said emotionally.

"That's right! Fight the monsters! ”

Luck? Xu Qingsheng, who was preparing to use the teleportation crystal, suddenly stopped his movements. After taking a closer look at the five-person team, isn't it the five people of the Black Cat Group on a moonlit night?

Xu Qingsheng thought very strangely: Why did they encounter a crisis here? Isn't there a crisis when you have to meet Kirito? Do you want to be wiped out here?

What Xu Qingsheng didn't know was that the five people in the original book also experienced the same crisis, but there was no Xu Qingsheng in the original book who couldn't walk the maze and took the lead in running blindly, and the five-person group finally escaped from the maze area.

But now he has followed Xu Qingsheng to a dead end.

Xu Qingsheng doesn't plan to run anymore, what are you running, usually only three teleportation crystals are prepared, if you don't have enough points, you can kill all the monsters directly!

That's right, Xu Qingsheng is ready to kill this group of monsters.

The sword in his hand turned from black to red, and he knocked out the nearest wolf-type monster (strangely, why is it still a wolf).

"Is there a block class?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Are there any melee classes?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Is there a ...... So what can you do? ”

Everyone wants to say that you are so powerful, can we shout 666 to you?

The crowd habitually continued to shake their heads.

Xu Qingsheng said that he was embarrassed, he was already LV20, and the monster here was only LV18.

The extremely high attack allows him to kill monsters in seconds, and the level higher than the monster makes the damage of the monster attacking Xu Qingsheng not high, but he can't withstand the constant attack of such a large group of monsters, right? Someone has to share some damage before he has a chance to output.

Seeing that everyone couldn't help with anything, Xu Qingsheng reluctantly threw out four shields from his backpack: "One for each person, standing in a fan-shaped position, I am at the front, and you guys will help me share some damage on both sides." ”

Everyone hurriedly did so, in their eyes, Xu Qingsheng, who can kill monsters with one sword, must be a strong player, and it is good to have the big guy lead the team to do it.

"I, I can ...... too," Yuki whispered when he saw that he didn't have his own shield.

"Just stay aside and protect yourself." Xu Qingsheng mercilessly rejected Xing's offer to participate.

"How do you ...... like this?"
