Chapter 3 The Blue Boar
The best place to farm on the first floor is the wide grassland located outside of a remote village, as the monsters here are generally not of high level, and the field of vision is wide enough to spot potential threats at any time, making it an ideal training place for a novice like me.
"Action, dragon, pay attention to the action, this is very important, although the blue boar is a low-level monster, but their recovery ability is first-class, if they can't cause fatal damage at one time, they will only consume their own strength in vain."
Damn, is it really completely useless, the swordsmanship I studied painstakingly, obviously I was a fencing champion in school. In fact, as Long Ji said, the blue boar in front of me has been cut by me N times, but its HP slot does not show any reduction in the slightest, even if it is occasionally weakened, it can be recovered immediately, and the damage I caused can't keep up with its recovery speed at all, and if it continues like this, my strength will be used up immediately, and what is even more terrifying is that once its anger value accumulates to the peak, it will be vented......
I should be glad to have found a beta tester as a teammate, otherwise I would end up with the lone buddy just now, although dying in the game does not bring real death, and it seems that there is no pity for novice players at level 1 even if they are killed (usually the system will reduce the level of the deceased player, reduce the HP value and other punishments), but the pain caused by the blue boar collision can be truly experienced.
"I know the movement, too, but the dragon, it's moving, it's hard to aim."
It's not difficult to launch the sword technique, but the angry blue boar makes me feel uneasy, and the result is that I was knocked to the ground again, and my HP value has dropped again, which is a bit too much, and it's also a basic skill Why did I take so much damage, and it was too embarrassing for me to put that pose in front of the dragon.
"Of course it moves, this is not a training scarecrow, as for accuracy, as long as you make a move to use the sword technique, then the system will make the skill hit the enemy."
The dragon flung his sword behind his back and held it for about a second or two, and when the sword flashed red, it moved, at a speed that was barely visible to the naked eye, accompanied by "Boom!" He had reached the other side of the blue boar, and at the same time, the HP slot of the blue boar had finally decreased, and it was half as much as half.
I didn't have time to exclaim before I had time to exclaim, the attack just now completely filled the anger of the blue boar, and now the blue boar was rushing towards me by anger.
"Action...... Action ......"
I couldn't care so much, lunge bent down, and put the horizontal knife behind me, this kind of action I had practiced countless times in my sword fighting class, but this time I always felt a little awkward, until the horizontal knife glowed blue, and my body involuntarily rushed out.
"Boom!"
With a pleasant-sounding sound, the blade made a flaming scratch in the air, and the basic skill of the one-handed horizontal knife "Thrust" hit the boar's neck with great precision, and at the same time wiped out only half of its remaining HP. After letting out a pitiful wail, the huge body shattered into countless crystals and disappeared into the air. In front of me, the amount of XP gained in purple font appeared.
It's a great feeling, it's really good.
"Great, congratulations on your victory." The dragon clapped his hands slightly
"Is that the only way?" He was visibly stunned, and I explained, "It's too slow, you have to pose accordingly to use the skills that come with the system, which will cause a waste of time, and it may be more than enough to deal with low-level monsters, but it may become a fatal weakness when facing higher-level monsters." And although that set of skill moves just now looks like I did it according to my own consciousness, I'm sure it's not the action I really want to do.,I've been touted by you as a completely stealthy game.,I was a little looking forward to the game experience, but I didn't expect it to be so disappointing.。 ”
"Hahaha!" Long He laughed, "You are a rookie who has just been promoted to the second level, and you dare to question the game experience." ”
"If I can't improve that, I think I'd better give up."
I still want to become the strongest player with my own swordsmanship, but it turns out that the sword champion or something that I am proud of is meaningless in this world.
"It's not impossible." Long He stopped tapping his finger on the window, and looked at me meaningfully before he said slowly, "After level 15, our own damage value will have a relatively large increase, although I haven't tried it, but I believe that as long as you have the right weapon, you can kill monsters even if you don't use the system's swordsmanship, and you can try it with your swordsmanship, and maybe you can become the strongest in the future." But you must know that not every player has learned swordsmanship, and not every family can invite a Chinese swordsmanship master, the existence of systematic swordsmanship is out of consideration for the fairness of the game, believe me, uh no, Long Ye, as long as your swordsmanship cultivation is high enough, you can start a sect after level 15. ”
Ryu's serious appearance amused me, and I certainly wouldn't believe his nonsense, but it was still a small goal for me to reach level 15 as soon as possible from then on.
"Alright Ryuya, it's almost time for us to go back."
When I raised my head and looked into the distance, I found that it was already so late, on the horizon, a round of the sun was about to set, and the sunset in the western sky waved a gorgeous scarf, and in a blur, the grass everywhere was plated with a piece of golden yellow.
The ready-to-use "SwordArtOnline Sword Art Online" has been running for about five hours since it officially started operating at 1 pm today, Sunday, October 6, 2022 (in fact, the exact time is displayed at the bottom of the "main screen window", but I didn't notice it at that time).
"I've told the head maid not to prepare my dinner." In order to achieve my small goal as soon as possible, working hard to farm monsters is the right way.
"But my homework isn't done yet, so you won't die without help."
"I don't want it!"
"Let's go, let's go, we should help each other, shouldn't we?"
Wave your right hand to open the "Main Screen Window" again, but you can't find the "Log Out" button at the bottom of the menu.
"Hey, Dragon, where's the logout button?"
"At the bottom." The dragon continued to sort through the loot he had picked up during the battle.
Hey, hey, what's going on, the person who was just arguing to pull me out just now calmly sorted out the loot on the side.
"Gone......" A panic hit my heart, now is not the time to complain, I tried to calm myself down, my voice was still a little trembling, "Deng...... Out key...... Gone......"
"There's no logout button, how is that possible?"
In the starting state, the slender rectangular window will have several menu labels on the right, and on the left will be a humanoid silhouette showing the status of your item equipment, and at the bottom of this menu there should be a "LOGOUT" button - that is, a button to break away from this world.
"I really can't find it, Long and you can look for it too, but you just offered to go back."
"Okay, okay." He sighed and muttered. Then I clicked on the button in the upper left corner of my window to return to the start menu, and the open inventory on the right closed smoothly, and many equipment puppet patterns appeared in the blank space, and the menu tabs were neatly arranged on the left hand, and the left hand skillfully moved downward, and then stiffly stopped there - there was no logout button in the dragon and the window.
"Is there any other way to log out? For example, voice assistants and the like. ”
"No...... I'm sorry, but I did it. He covered his face with his hands, which was distorted by pain.
"It's not your fault, I'd have joined the game without you."
"Even if you say so......"
This was the only time I saw the fragile side of Long Ji, and I will be deeply impressed by his perseverance, bravery, and rationality in the years that followed.
"Don't worry, I believe that the developer must have been thinking about a solution in a hurry, as long as we wait a little longer, there will definitely be a way to get out." At this time, I can only force my composure to comfort him.
"Actually, I'm not worried about this, I'm just worried about whether my homework can be completed in time, and you have to help me ......"
As a result, you look deep and just worry about your homework......
Suddenly, "Jingle-clang-" sounded like a bell and like an alarm, interrupting us completely.
"What ......"
"What's going on!"
There were two players shouting in the distance, and we were much calmer than them, and there was a sense of pride in them.
Immediately after that, not only me and the dragon, but also the players in the distance were surrounded by blue pillars of light.
"This is a manifestation of the "transfer" skill, how can it be ......"
The light that surrounded us with the cry of the dragon became more intense, and it was impossible to see anything clearly, and then the blue light dimmed until it disappeared, and what greeted me was no longer the sunset grassland, but the town of beginning, the birthplace of my puppet.
- Forced transfers
"Look at it!" Long and patted me on the shoulder excitedly
The numbers on the huge display representing the number of people online are decreasing, could it be that someone is quitting, but looking at the increasing number of blue beams of light that appear around us, it seems unlikely, and then the display disappears. Ryuchi and I looked at each other, then looked back at the crowd that had packed all around us.
Seeing this group of men and women with clear eyebrows, as well as the variety of equipment and hair colors on their bodies, you can be sure that they are all S.A.O players just like us.
For a few seconds, the crowd fell silent as they couldn't figure out what was going on, and then began to look at their surroundings in a panic.
Soon after, loud noises began to be heard from various places, and the volume gradually increased. I kept hearing "What the hell is going on?" "Can I log out then?" "Hurry up and let me log out!" That's the case.
After a while, the noise of the crowd began to take on an anxious atmosphere, and "Stop kidding!" could be heard. "The Administrator will come out for me!" Such a roaring voice.
Suddenly......
Someone's screams drowned out the cacophony.
"Ah...... Look at it!"
The dragon and I looked up reflexively again. Then I saw a wonderful sight.
One hundred meters above the sky, the bottom of the second layer, is dyed with a bright red checkerboard-like pattern.
If you look closely, you can see that the pattern is formed by the interaction of two English words. The two words written in bright red font are "Warning" and "SystemAnnouncement".
