"Hey, Ichiya, haven't you bought the SAO game board yet? If we don't hurry, the resources of the first layer will be snatched up. ”

(Note: SAO "SwordArtOnline" is the abbreviation of the world's first completely stealth game)

"You wait for me a little longer, it's only been five minutes since it was released, and the head maid will be back soon."

"Oh my God, it's been five minutes since it was released, are you reliable?"

"Nima, I'm starting to dislike me, and I don't know who forced me to join this game. And I can't stand it after only five minutes, I think who accompanied you to stay in school until late at night when you didn't finish your homework and were punished by the teacher, and I think you ...... at the beginning."

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop, stop. I'm scared of you, okay, wait for you for another ten minutes, ten minutes at most, no more. Also, you're sure you've memorized all the information I've written down before, right? ”

"Don't worry, I promise to remember it for sure and for sure, and besides, you've confirmed N+1 times."

"Hmph, I'll trust you for the time being, wait for your last ten minutes, and don't forget the agreed place."

"Uh-huh, I love you to death."

"Less disgusting I !!"

The guy on the other end of the phone is named Ryuyo Mito.,My best friend in the country.,Rumor has it that this guy is a monster with an IQ of over 140.,Unfortunately, his IQ seems to only work in games.。 As for the "SAO" in his mouth, it is a VR game released half a year ago, to be precise, this game can not simply be called VR, the new machine released in May this year has realized the concept of "virtual reality", through the control of brain signals, players can even experience almost the same five senses as reality, even the four seasons of the game world will change according to the alternation of seasons in the real world, and its immersive and complete stealth experience is destined to attract a large number of game poisoners from the beginning of its birth. I have no doubt at all that Mito must have used up her life's luck to be selected as one of the first 1,000 closed beta players.

"I'm sorry, Ichiya-sama came back late."

The head maid was holding the "SAO" disc of my dreams, and the VR headset, the equipment used to run the game, was already available at the time of release.

"Inform Long and I will wait for him at the agreed place, and if you have trouble, please tell your mother that I will not eat dinner."

"Don't eat dinner, Lord Fengzi...... Wait a minute, Ichiya ......"

"Log in!"

"Welcome to Sword Art Online, please read the game instructions carefully"

After a slight feeling of dizziness, I successfully entered the game interface, which also means that my consciousness is completely isolated from the real world, and the signals sent from the brain to the body will be blocked and recycled, which can be said to be necessary to realize the functions necessary for free movement in the virtual space, and avoid the danger caused by the player's body in the real world and the game character to do the same behavior.

"Please register your game account"

The name had been thought of a long time ago, and this scene had been simulated in my mind a thousand times.

ID name: Ryuya

Password: XXXXXX

"Please set your puppet"

Gender: Male

Height: 178cm (of course, you have to choose the golden height)

Appearance: Don't ask for the most handsome, just more handsome

Costume: Wow, this outfit is sassy enough

"Once the puppet is created, please select your weapon type: knife, gun, sword, halberd, axe, axe, hook, fork, whip, ......

There are so many, so let's choose the sword I'm more familiar with.

"Please select the type of sword skill: one-handed sword, two-handed sword"

It's troublesome to say: one-handed sword. Fortunately, the system provides a straight sword by default, and there is no further classification.

Follow the system prompts to attach the straight sword to the puppet's right hand, and the system message will appear again.

"Please watch the skill demonstration carefully and conduct the operation training."

Operation exercise 1: Spike, please use the Spike skill to kill Scarecrow No. 1

Exercise 2: Block, use your right-handed sword to defend against the scarecrow's attack

••••••

"After the operation training, welcome to Ayn Grant, I wish you a pleasant journey."

Mentally prepared, it's hard to believe that this is a game world, and I, like many novice players, have been 'born' in the "Town of Beginnings" with a curious eye to observe everything around me, with huge stone floors, street trees around medieval, and a huge palace that glows black in the distance.

There is no doubt that this is the central square of the "Start Town", where the game began, and I thought that the game developer's promotional video was fascinating enough, but I didn't expect that the real immersive feeling was far more shocking than the promotional video. The huge floating display in the square is constantly updating the number of online players "9585" and "9589......

I had to put away my curiosity for the time being, according to Mito's intelligence, there should be a cheap weapon shop nearby. Mito, who claims to be the best among the closed beta players, claims to be one of the few players to have reached the eighth floor, and even drew an accurate map of the first eight floors to prove himself. Hidden shops, practice areas where you can quickly gain a lot of experience, hidden secret rooms where you can get rare items, wild areas that may bring death threats, etc. are densely marked; The most hateful thing is that in order to prevent me from dragging my feet, and at the same time, as a condition for agreeing to take me, this guy actually forced me to memorize all the intelligence maps he had drawn. Ay! Friendship is so fragile in front of the game strategy.

The weapon shop hidden in the complicated path is the location that I agreed with Mito.

"Hello, welcome to Xiaomei's weapons discount store, I'm the owner Xiaomei, what do you need?" The owner is a standard N-PC woman, and the contrast between the virtual doll's unique beauty and her lifeless computer-synthesized sound is a bit offensive.

The purple information bar that appears with the sound is the store's list of goods:

Horizontal knife: 700 kol

Longsword: 600 kol

Rapier: 600 kol

……

Armor 1: 600 kol

Armor 2: 400 Köll

……

Blue Transfer Crystal: 300 Kör

Red Recovery Crystal: 300 Köll

……

Is this really a cheap weapon shop, the slightly decent equipment is around 500 kl, and the system initially provided players with only 1000 kll of in-game currency.

"The Horizontal Knife and the Red Recovery Crystal alone are enough to spend all my in-game currency......"

I couldn't help but complain a few words, and then-

"The transaction is successful, please pay attention to check."

A purple system message pops up indicating that the Horizontal Knife and Red Recovery Crystal have been added to your inventory

"What are you kidding, I haven't even decided to buy it yet." I vowed to get rid of my love of complaining.

"Hello sir, the goods in our store can be purchased through the voice, and the transaction can be completed by pronouncing the name of the weapon."

N-PC's voice is still lifeless, but it sounds sarcastic to me.

"Voice...... Voice-activated trading, isn't this cheating people, I want to return it. ”

"I'm sorry sir, but we are a discount store and we do not return goods, so if you are not satisfied with the items you have chosen, you can choose to sell them back to our store."

I didn't dare to talk nonsense after the previous lesson, but it turned out that my decision was quite wise, and the sale back of the weapon was really not so simple, the price of the horizontal knife for 700 kl was only 450 k, and the red crystal used to restore HP was reduced by half.

"Sir, please confirm if you sell back ......"

"Closing the deal...... in this store full of pitfalls is better to talk less.

"Thank you for your patronage, this transaction is over, happy shopping."

Happy ghost, the first time I bought something, I was pitted by N-PC, and I wanted to cry without tears at all.

"Hello, welcome to Xiaomei's weapons discount store, I'm the owner Xiaomei, what do you need?"

Ha, there was another unlucky ghost, and just as I was expecting to see the joke, reality slapped me in the face.

"Please give me a sword and five recovery potions."

"The transaction is successful, please pay attention to check."

"Thanks, close the deal."

"Thank you for your patronage, this transaction is over, happy shopping."

Cut, it's so skilled, this guy must be a closed beta tester, then again, why hasn't Mito come yet?

I looked at the man in front of me, and the other party was also looking at me, according to the system settings, as long as you stare at the other party, you can get his basic information, of course, information related to personal safety such as HP value and level will not be displayed unless the other party takes the initiative to show you. Soon, a green crystal appears on top of his head to identify the player (N-PC does not have this trait), and on top of the blue HP slot on the left is his ID nickname, "Dragon".

"Mito? (One also?) We said in unison.

Yes, because of the relationship between the dolls, our appearance has changed.

"Long Ye, the name is good, have you bought a weapon?"

He affectionately put his hand around my shoulder. I frustrated and waved the index and middle fingers of my right hand, and a purple "Main Screen Window" popped up with the sound of "Jingle Bell", and I clicked on the toolbar on the right to clearly see the options for horizontal knives and recovery crystals.

"Red crystal! You stupid, do you need such a powerful recovery item with your current HP? ”

"You didn't tell me that this store uses voice-activated shopping, and I was also cheated."

Long He shook his head helplessly, and with a finger of his hand, the eight big words that sparkled like diamonds on the top of N-PC's head almost didn't blind my eyes - voice-activated shopping, no returns.

"Low IQ, no way, I don't know why I'm already worried about my strategy journey." Long Ji shook his head and said leisurely.

"Accident, definitely accident, I promise there were no words when I first came."

At this time, do you want to find a crack in the ground to get into?

"Okay, okay, I really can't do anything about you, it's useless to say anything now, it's better to take you to earn some Keer first."
