September 3, 2023.

A month seems like a lot of things can happen, but since the duel between Yang Han and Heathcliff came to an end, SAO has surprisingly fallen into a period of calm, and the game has been constantly attacked by various players as usual.

Although Ayn Grant above the 60th floor has been out of the tampering range of Icarus, because of the abnormal success rate of equipment enhancement some time ago, players do not feel how difficult it is to kill monsters above the 60th floor, and the only unpleasant thing may be the significant reduction in experience.

But no one is going to blame Icarus, and players will only give more negative comments about Akihiko Kayaba! cursed him for tampering with the game's revenue and hindering everyone from attacking the game as soon as possible.

Naturally, Akihiko Kayaba could only remain silent about this, after all, he didn't know who was the creator of this series of tampering turmoil, and he couldn't clarify anything at all. Moreover, even if he knew who did it, issuing an announcement to inform each player would not affect his bad comments, but would only make Yang Han and Icarus's reputation rise.

Location, 74th floor boss room, more than 150 players are besieging the first floor boss in front of them.

If this boss could speak, it would definitely be sprayed on the spot, because the group of players around it who are like mad dogs are already driving it crazy! Today's gamers still have the same fears as they were when they first entered the game, and they are as ferocious as wolves that have been hungry for a few days.

Perhaps it has been a long time since there have been casualties, which has greatly reduced the player's fear of battle, and those of them who don't know about tampering with the storm don't know if the enemy has been weakened, but can feel that the experience gain from the game has decreased.

This kind of mood is like playing a simple mode stand-alone game for half a year, and it still doesn't feel difficult to play in hard mode.

Practice makes perfect, and it best reflects the current state of this group of players. Originally, the fear of death has gradually faded after discovering that the game is so simple, and now the game has returned to its original difficulty, whether they are subconsciously or actively thinking, they will not think in that direction, this may be the adaptation psychology of human beings!

With Kirito's bloody pursuit, the boss of the defending layer fell to the ground weakly, and his random body trembled twice, and it exploded into pieces all over the sky! However, there was no excited cheers around, only the sound of swiping through the system menu one after another to check the benefits after the completion of the strategy.

"Kirito, you're the head dog, the last blow of this boss was snatched away by you again! How many times has this been? Klein walked up to Kirito's side with a group of members of the Wind Forest Volcano Guild behind him and jokingly accused.

"This ...... Haha, it should be the third time. Kirito scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Hurry up and show us what good things you broke up this time, half of them when we meet, don't you want to make a fortune today!" Klein hooked Kirito's neck, looking fierce, saying that he didn't eat his pretending to be stupid and cute.

"There is nothing good, just a pair of shin armor that looks good. Well, I'll invite you to lunch in a moment, okay? "Don't look at Kirito and look honest, but in fact, he is a ghost in his heart.

"I really think we're so foolish, be careful that I go back to your head and sue you! Hey, where's your leader? And the beautiful deputy head is not there? Halfway through Klein's words, he looked around as if he had suddenly thought of something, and at this glance, he found that the two familiar faces that had often appeared in the past had not come to the front line today.

"Those two went to the Town of Start." Kirito saw Klein inadvertently change the subject, and immediately replied. Just kidding, there is such a good opportunity to make the other party forget what just happened, he still can't wait!

"What are you going to do in the Town of Beginnings?" Klein was sure to take it and continued to ask suspiciously.

"That's a long story, let's go have a meal to celebrate the success of the new defender's strategy, and then I'll tell you about it slowly." The posture of hooking shoulders and backs was reversed, and this time it was Kirito who took the initiative to hook Klein away, and a group of members of the wind forest volcano behind the two people who watched were speechless for a while.

"Commander, he may not be able to turn his brain, right?" One of them whispered.

"You don't understand this, that's Klein wants to give Kirito that kid a step down, how old is he, and he can't see through this little bit!" Another retorted.

"I think the two must have sparked a spark of love!" The third person's accomplication made the first two stunned, but after they glanced at each other, they surprisingly did not refute......

To make a long story short, when a few people entered the new floor, after the 75th floor, they found a casual restaurant and started chatting, and the whereabouts of Yang Han and Asuna were gradually informed by Kirito of the other people present.

It all started with a female player named Yuriel.

Just yesterday, this player visited the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights as a cadre of the Ayn Grant Liberation Army, claiming that there was something important to discuss, but after talking with Yang Han and Asuna, several people left in a hurry, leaving only the text message Tongzhou Kirito to participate in today's front-line strategy battle instead of him, as for the other Kirito, I don't know.

Although the content is very small, in order to prevent Klein from thinking about his own head-grabbing thing, Kirito can be said to have spared no effort to arrange the story, adapting the complex twists and turns of the obviously short things, and the festival is really falling all over the place.

…………

While Kirito fooled Klein and the others, the town of the beginning.

"Is this the entrance to the labyrinth?" Yang Han and Asuna were side by side, and a female player with a silver single ponytail stood half a step beside her, and Yang Han's question was obviously addressed to her.

"That's right, this is it. Be careful, the difficulty of this maze is very high, and the basic configuration of the monsters alone has about sixty levels. The advance team led by the Tooth King himself was swept home, and in order to save his life, he had to use the transfer crystal to escape, and I heard that because of the excessive use of the crystal, his faction's funds were seriously in deficit. The female player with a silver single ponytail was none other than Yuriyer in Kiritoro's mouth, she looked at the somewhat dim entrance in front of her very seriously, and reminded Yang Han and Asuna.

"Tooth King, hehe, this name is really annoying. But let's leave this alone for now, let's go, let's settle the matter in front of us first. Miss Julielle, you live with us! Yang Han said.

"Don't worry, as long as you can do it, I'll let Xinka put the entire Ayngrunte Liberation Army under your management." Liel nodded in the affirmative.
