A month has passed since Icarus came to SAO.

During this time, due to her arrival, Yang Han's game journey has changed dramatically. Because Icarus and Yang Han used their own authority to do a lot of things that made Kayaba Akihiko crazy.

First of all, under the modification of your own permissions, the combat power of monsters from the 20th to 60th floors of SAO has been reduced by 90%, and they have completely become miscellaneous soldiers, while the experience income of monsters has increased tenfold!

The settings of the first-floor bosses that originally required players to explore have also been changed to publicly locate the location of the boss, and you can see the icons when you open the map. The game has become a full-art display version through and through, and the rate at which players level up is like a rocket.

Secondly, the success rate settings in the game have been greatly revised and improved, especially in the category of equipment enhancement, which has now become a common configuration for everyone to upgrade to the maximum level.

The explosion rate of monsters has been re-changed, resulting in the fact that even if you go out and kill a monster casually, you can drop props, materials or equipment of excellent quality or above, and the degree of madness can be said to have modified SAO from hell difficulty to ultra-casual mode.

In just one month, the number of layers of Ayn Grant has been attacked from 35 to 55 in a blink of an eye, and there has not been a single casualty, which completely angers the game's developer, Akihiko Kayaba.

However, anger is anger, and there is nothing Akihiko Kayaba can do to change anything. Although he has enough authority, he has no way to get back what others have taken.

Faced with Icarus, whose computing power could easily surpass that of any CPU of this era, he had to retreat, and could only watch the random settings of the twentieth to sixtyth floors, out of his control.

Not only that, but this super fast strategy caught Akihiko Aoba off guard!

After his pre-layout was disrupted, it can almost be said that he made a wrong step, originally he was going to enter the game when the game was almost on the 40th floor to play a player to pretend to be X, and then set up a guild at random, with a group of younger brothers to fight monsters, upgrades, and abuse, but Yang Han and them were so foolish, he almost didn't have time to stand firm on his front foot, and he missed a few moments on his back foot.

The current Kayaba Jinghiko has a big trade union icon called "Red Army" on his head, but unfortunately there are only a few three or five subordinates in the regiment.

It's obviously a game created by himself.,But the protagonist has become a stranger.,It's no wonder he's not angry!

The most infuriating thing is that he still doesn't know who this guy who hacked almost 40% of his game's permissions is. Akihiko Kayaba, who couldn't find the culprit, finally imagined the identity of the other party as the government, because in his opinion, only capable people in the government could do such a technical thing.

In order to salvage the situation, Kayaba Akihiko has been busy for a month, because he happened to enter the game at this time.

All players in the game know very well that players in SAO can't get out now, and as a GM with a few guild brothers, he naturally can't leave the game openly to modify the loopholes for a long time. As a last resort, he now has to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, sort out and improve the vulnerabilities that can be quickly patched, directly block the places that can't be found, and block the access to all IPs and IDs that have not logged in to the game.

These things can only be done when he comes back to sleep after going out to fight for a day, and the efficiency is not high, and it finally took a month to barely take all the precautions.

"Commander, there is news from the front-line strategy group that the boss on the 56th floor has been successfully killed." Akihiko Kayaba, who was frantically leveling up with the rest of his teammates on the 53rd floor, suddenly received such a text message from a member of the group, but after reading it, he could only sigh helplessly.

Now he has a little bit of a confession. Because although he has been trying to make time to modify the game that has been broken for forty percent this month, it is irreversible to reverse the fact that it has happened, and at this moment, Kayaba Jinghiko feels that the only thing he can do is to settle accounts after the autumn.

He was looking forward to finding the feet of those interconnected game-modifying guys after the sixtieth floor was breached, and then punish each other. Now he has to be steady, work hard to play the game, and strive to quickly catch up with the large army of the Raiders in front of him, and then blend in.

…………

With the depressed Kayaba Jinghiko, Yang Han must have been quite moisturized in the past month. Because of the level of training for a year, how boring the game was, he simply asked Icarus to modify his level and attributes, and also got a piece of superb equipment.

He didn't go out much in the past month, but he just treated the world of SAO as a leisure resort, drinking tea every day to tease the girl, and letting Icarus take care of himself, which is simply back to the otaku in the world of "Dating Wars".

In Yang Han's opinion, sure enough, the house is partial, and as long as there is one acre and three points of land, it is enough to do a lot of things.

Kirito, who formed an extreme with him, has been practicing frantically recently in order to clarify his status as a leveler, but it's a pity that he has worked hard for eight hundred years, so it's better to charge some money today! After Yang Han casually ordered Icarus to change this and that, his level was quickly caught up by him and the player.

As a result, Yang Han watched the play on the sidelines, and Kirito got up earlier and earlier every day and came back later and later......

"Yo! Kirito is here, eat crab tonight, it's a real S-class cooking ingredient Golden Armor King Crab! Would you like to try it? At this moment, Yang Han, sitting on a rocking chair, squinted his eyes, and asked lazily to Kirito who pushed the door in.

"No, I'll come back and bring some food and go to the leveling area right away. Lately, Klein and Asuna have been catching up with me, and I can't let all my efforts go to waste. After Kirito entered the door, he drank two glasses of water, put down the cups, shook his head at Yang Han and refused.

"You're really hardworking. By the way, didn't Asuna come back with you? After Yang Han said this jokingly, he asked Kirito.

"Where am I free to help you watch her! Needless to say, I'll have to resupply repair tools and potions, and it might take three days to get out this time. By the way, Yang Han, do you want to come along, you have been less and less active about upgrading recently, and it is estimated that most of them have been surpassed by me! Kirito said.

"Haha, thanks for the advice. In short, you should hurry up and level up, and strive to surpass my level as soon as possible to become the first in the whole game! I'm optimistic about you! Yang Han finally couldn't hold back and laughed twice.

Others may not know, but he himself couldn't be clearer, with Icarus here, as long as he waved his hand, his level will rise wildly, and Kirito-kun, who has been playing a game without money, when will you understand this truth!
