As time passed, the sun gradually sank, staining the distant forest with a dim hue.

"Whew!"

The rainbow butterflies sprinkled phosphorus powder while flying in the direction of the forest in a glittering special effect.

Of course, in front of it is Luo Zhen, who is the master.

Luo Zhen and Kirito ran on the grassland as fast as they could, heading in the direction of the forest.

“…………”

Along the way, an indescribable silence permeated the two.

The two didn't have a single word of conversation, just buried their heads and ran forward.

Since you want to improve your strength, then, in this game world, there is naturally only one way to think of it first.

Upgrade.

Only by leveling up can the character be strengthened, not only can you improve your attributes and get skill grids, but you can also increase the upper limit of HP and make yourself safer.

Luo Zhen and Kirito plan to increase their rank.

It's just that,The areas around the main block are relatively safe practice areas.,The level of monsters is also very low.,Although you can ensure more life safety.,Don't be killed by low-level monsters all at once.,But in the game,The risk is proportional to the gain.,If you don't take a risk to hunt high-level monsters,That's not to say,The efficiency of gaining experience points alone is relatively low.。

In addition, once the players react from the reality of the death game, there should be many players who decide to act like Luo Zhen and Kirito, and arrive here first, right?

After all, although the acquisition of experience points is relatively inefficient, it is also relatively safe, and players will definitely start exploring the vicinity of the starting town first, and improve themselves little by little.

However, in SAO, the refresh of monsters is a certain amount of gushing out according to a certain amount of time.

That is, for a certain period of time, the number of monsters is fixed, and it will not be refreshed unless it is time to re-emerge, or if the conditions for re-emergence.

In such a situation, the safe practice areas around the town of Initiation will definitely be occupied by a large number of players, and the monster's killing rights will also create all kinds of friction, leading to player-to-player conflicts.

Then, the number of treasure chests in the wild is also a certain amount, and some rare quests also have a limit on the number of times they can be received, and these resources will become the target of players.

Whoever gets more resources can become stronger.

That's why Kirito would say that.

"We have to monopolize all the resources that can be stronger."

That's what it refers to.

Of course, this is a thorny path.

Because of the experience of the closed beta period, most of the closed beta players must have such a plan, widen the gap between them and ordinary players, and surpass the top players in this world.

And of course, the average player will definitely feel anger, lamentation, and even resentment about this situation.

Just because of bad luck, there was no qualification to participate in the closed beta, and as a result, the closed beta players took away the opportunity to become stronger, and even took away the right to get more resources.

There's no way Kirito didn't know this.

However, he chose this path anyway.

Because...

"I don't want to die..."

The words that Kirito inadvertently murmured clearly reached Luo Zhen's ears.

In this regard, Luo Zhen didn't say anything, just buried his head and ran forward.

Although the starting point is different from Kirito, Koro Zhen also has no intention of giving up the rare experience of closed beta.

Dagong selflessly shared the experience of the closed beta period, shared the resources in the game with all players, and became stronger together———— Luo Zhen is not so great.

So, Luo really rushed to a place with Kirito.

It was a small village called "Horuka" located northwest of the town of Initiation.

Horuka is a small village compared to the town of the Beginning, which occupies more than a kilometer at the southern end of the first floor of Ayngrunte, but it is not only a hotel, a weapon shop, and a prop house, but it is also a circle, so it is not too bad as a base of activities.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that there will be no overly powerful monsters in the surrounding forests, and the efficiency of gaining experience points is also higher than that of the practice area around the starting town, plus the rest of the players must not have arrived there yet, Luo Zhen and Kiritoma can monopolize the surrounding monsters, and at the same time obtain a large amount of experience points to improve the level, there is also a chance to hit better drop items and drop materials, there is no reason not to choose it.

On the first floor, there are actually several more such villages.

The reason why Koroma and Kirito chose this village is because they can receive a very popular quest during the closed beta period.

The quest is titled ———— "The Secret Medicine of the Forest".

The quest is to obtain the ovules of a predatory plant monster in the forest for an NPC aunt in Horuka, and use it to refine a medicine that can cure her daughter's illness.

As long as you complete this task, you can get a very good reward.

That reward is something worth pursuing with all his might for Kirito, and for Luo Zhen, it is also a very effective means of strengthening in the early stage.

So, Luo Zhen and Kirito rushed into the forest as fast as they could, avoiding all the monsters, and followed a path while avoiding all the monsters.

Soon after, Rozane and Kirito arrived in the village of Horuka.

As in the closed beta, the area of Horuka is very small, even if you add up the number of shops and inns, all the buildings are only a dozen or so, and the NPCs living here do not have any obvious reaction to the two teenagers who suddenly broke in, and do their own things according to their own settings.

Luo Zhen and Kirito stood at the entrance of the village.

Followed by...

"Green... No, Luo Zhen..."

Kirito finally spoke, and wanted to say something to Rajin.

It's just that Luo Zhen has already guessed what Kirito is going to say.

Therefore, Luo Zhen preemptively answered.

"Let's go to the weapons shop first." Luo Zhen said bluntly: "Don't worry, I don't really don't even have a weapon with me, just a demon with a pitifully low HP and the [Flying Sword' skill that has even used up throwing props to farm monsters here." ”

After saying that, Luo Zhen walked in the direction of the weapon shop.

"Wait... Wait! ”

Kirito hurriedly chased after him.

About ten minutes later, Luo Zhen and Kirito reappeared.

It's just that there have been changes in both of them.

Kirito has an extra brown leather open-collar shirt on his body, and the original cloth outfit has been replaced with a leather outfit, apparently buying new armor to improve his defense.

As for Luo Zhen, the equipment on his body has not changed, except for an extra weapon on his waist.

It was a one-handed sword made of bronze.

In addition, Luo Zhen and Kirito also have a lot of medicine bottles on their waist bags, and Luo Zhen also has a lot of throwing props in his waist bags.

Obviously, both of them have effectively used the money they have on them to achieve the best enhancement at the moment.
