Chapter 351: This Is ...... A step towards the end

It is impossible to say that successive failures do not bring stress.

Gu Wu has always been entangled in his heart about everything he has done so far, thinking that his previous choice was too stupid and naΓ―ve.

But nervousness is tension, pressure is pressure, if you don't adjust your mentality, you will definitely encounter problems in the next plan, which is a situation that Gu Wu wants to avoid.

He talked to Kiritto and Asuna about Heathcliff an hour ago, and to put it bluntly, he planned to expose the other party's true colors and reveal the true identity of that guy.

However, in order to accomplish this task, it is obvious that ordinary means will not work, and it must be attacked when Heathcliff lets his guard down, so that he can be exposed.

However, people like Kirito, Asuna, and Gu Wu will definitely be noticed by Heathcliff, so the only way to do this is to let the guys who are not familiar with Heatscliffe launch an attack and achieve their goals through this unexpected means.

Under this premise, Gu Wu naturally had a candidate in his heart - Terazawa Ayakata.

This girl can be said to be Gu Wu's trusted companion, even if the level is not high enough and the skills are not top-notch, she is also a very powerful assistant.

In addition, Ayaka Terazawa can use the enhancement of the 'Tenfold Effect Potion' to increase the power of her attacks, thus causing a greater threat to the target.

The increase brought by the 'tenfold effect potion' is different from the power copied by Gu Wu, it is a buff recognized by the system of this world, so it will not be detected and limited by the system, and can exert the maximum effect.

You must know that in the previous battle, Kirito and the others actually used Gu Wu's 'tenfold effect potion', which is also one of the reasons why the overall strength of the team has increased.

If used correctly, Ayaka Terasawa will be able to inflict unexpected damage on Heathcliff at the perfect time, thus revealing the authority attached to him.

Once the players know the truth, Gu Wu will take action at that time.

After all, after everyone knows the truth, Heathcliff will change to the identity of Akihiko Kayaba, and then Gu Wu can challenge him and complete the task by defeating Akihiko Kayaba.

For this plan, Gu Wu found Terazawa's current location through the friend list.

The hint of this location can be blocked and turned off, but whether it is Gu Wu or Terasawa Ayaka, they don't think there is any need to turn it off.

Anyway, for Gu Wu, it doesn't hurt to know each other's locations.

"Give them half of the remaining potions.

When Gu Wu was making the potion before, because he heard Asuna's analysis of Ayn Grant, he didn't sell all the tenfold effect potions at the first time, but prepared to sell them in batches, and the result was ......

As a result, the method of making potions has been restricted, and if you use a little, you will have to use a little less, so you must cherish it.

As for the remaining part, Gu Wu planned to give it to Kirito and Asuna and let the two of them divide it.

As mentioned before, the effect of the 'tenfold effect potion' is very obvious.

Assuming that the effect of the potion that increases the attack is '10 percent', then Gu Wu's potion can increase it to 100 percent.

In the case of the action of this elixir, the strong will be stronger, and the weak will also become stronger.

"...... on the seventy-fourth floor?"

This is quite confusing, could it be that what dangerous things are you doing?

The girl named Terazawa Ayaka is still thinking about gathering her past companions, and in contrast to this enlightenment, she has also improved her strength in all aspects when Gu Wu is working hard.

It's just that Gu Wu has the guidance of Kirito and Asuna, the two major celebrities, and the support of the strategy group, so he is faster and more efficient than Ayaka Terasawa in terms of leveling.

So when Gu Wu was fighting endlessly to defeat monsters and reach level ninety, Terasawa Ayaka was only more than half of level sixty, and the gap still existed.

However, Ayaka Terasawa, who has not yet reached the seventieth level, has appeared on the seventy-fourth floor, which is obviously a very abnormal situation.

Judging from the approximate location, the girl should not have left the safe zone yet, and if you go over, you should be able to find her as soon as possible.

For this reason, Gu Wu came to his destination through the portal, the main block on the seventy-fourth floor: Kamit.

It is a floor covered with green vegetation.

The scenery in the field of vision is a good reflection of this theme.

On this level, there is a city that looks like it was built out of a forest, and you can see branching streets that twist and stretch like branches.

The houses scattered throughout these streets are just separate leaves, and the bricks and tiles against the verdant green glow like morning dew, which cannot help but look a little dazzling.

Presumably, the building materials here also have special materials.

The inhabitants of this area have taken it from the forest and have given it corresponding respect, so you can also see some forest areas set up with NPC-made signs to warn adventurers not to mess around the area.

There was no question, it must also be a clue to a side quest, but Gu Wu didn't care about this.

He walked forward, and he could feel the smell of moisture in the air, but it wasn't all that annoying.

The ground under his feet was very solid, as if he was stepping on an emerald pathway, and his vision was full of the colors of the forest sea, and at this time, a cool breeze wrapped in some humidity blew from the front, as if taking away a little irritability from his body.

In addition to the smell of grass, there was a soothing scent of flowers, but now was not the time to enjoy, he still had something to do.

"Just ahead......"

As he was close to the battle area outside the town, Cole slowed down and looked around.

Soon, a figure with long silver-white hair swaying appeared in his eyes.

"Miss Terazawa!!"

"That's not going to work, we're going to ...... Not?! Why is Mr. Gu Wu here? By the way, I didn't miss the appointment! Because there's really something to do ......! ”

"I'm not here to ask you to be held accountable, and there's no reason to do so."

Gu Wu looked around.

"Why are you alone? What about the remaining two? ”

"They're also collecting information all over this level, but there are very few players who can provide it, and it's ......."

Saying this, Ayaka Terasawa glanced at the NPC who had just talked to her helplessly.

"The inhabitants here seem to have a set that doesn't collect information, they only have the original set of memories."

"The only ones who can memorize new content are the intelligent NPCs that release the mission, and of course, there are other special NPCs...... What's wrong? Your fourth companion has appeared on this level? ”

"That's right, it was Felena who stumbled upon it; When she was in the tavern, she heard a player say, 'There's a scythe-wielding player on the seventy-fourth floor doing a repeating task,' so we followed. ”

"Didn't find it?"

"Yes, that task is ambiguous and not very clear, so there is only one resident and one resident asks."

Ambiguous?

Since the player providing the information knows that it is the same mission, it should not be unaware of the task commissioner.

Seeing through Gu Wu's thoughts, Ayaka Terazawa explained.

"Felena also asked the player about the information and the client of the mission, but the player said that he didn't know, only that 'the strange guy will bring the loot of the beast to sell and exchange with the player every day', and since the materials must go through the mission goods, the same materials must come from the same mission."

Speaking of this, Ayaka Terazawa thanked the residents and let them leave.

"So we thought we'd wait until the evening to see if he would show up, just...... Since there aren't too many players here, maybe he'll move somewhere else. ”

"Your past companions are really weirdos......"

"Also, everyone is very maverick, and it was a miracle to be together at that time, and a large part of the reason must have come from the captain."

"I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but I'd like to talk to you about the future."

"The future? I won't marry Mr. Gu Wu. ”

Gu Wu, who spread out his hand, said 'pity', and Ayaka Terazawa, who had finished her prank, pointed ahead.

"Can you talk as you go? I'd like to go over there and investigate. ”

"No problem."

So the two of them took a step.

When she walked to a road covered with shade, Ayaka Terazawa said as she fiddled with her hair

"Even if it's a companion, I don't really know why that person would do the same task and sell the same materials...... After careful investigation, it seems that those materials are related to the upgrade of specific equipment, and they are all ordinary equipment that tends to be replaced by players who have just leveled up, perhaps for this reason; In order to take care of those players who have just upgraded and don't have rare equipment, he provides them with materials, after all, level 60 rare equipment is not as good as level 70 ordinary equipment, even if the equipment level can be upgraded, it can only change qualitatively if it is promoted to a very high level, but the materials required will also be a lot ......"

Saika Terazawa, who said this, quickly covered her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've said too much, Mr. Gu Wu has something important to talk about, right?"

"Don't care...... And I think you're right, as for what I'm going to talk about......"

Gu Wu looked around.

"Miss Terazawa, what I'm going to say next...... How to end the world's plan. ”

"End...... This world, meaning you want me to participate in the final boss raider? I'm not afraid, but even if I go, I'll only be holding back. ”

"No, you guessed it wrong."

Although it is also related to the final boss, the nature is completely different.

"You know Heathcliff, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Gu Wu has fought with that super powerful regiment commander before."

"What I'm going to ask for has something to do with him......"

"What is it? If I can do it. ”

Seeing Terazawa Ayaka showing a serious expression, Gu Wu didn't beat around the bush.

"I want you to join our investigative operation, and then, at the end of the day, use all the means you can to strengthen yourself, and finally sneak up on Heathcliff in that state."

"Wait......... I don't quite understand that Mr. Heathcliff is the one who leads everyone forward, why did Mr. Gu Wu let me attack him? That's going to be a lot of trouble! And...... I think that's very inappropriate! ”

"From the perspective of normal players, it is indeed unreasonable, but ah...... What if I told you that Hizcliffe was the starting point of everything, the developer who created this world, Akihiko Kayaba? ”

"Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow......"

The girl, who looked like a repeater, raised her hands.

"It's weird...... Why did Mr. Gu Wu suddenly find me to say this? ”

This reaction was also normal, Gu Wu didn't ask her to understand herself.

"Miss Terazawa, I know you're confused, but I can vouch for it with my life, and if I succeed, I'll let Akihiko Kayaba show his feet, and it's not for you to kill him, just attack with all your might, thinking that it would be good to hit him hard."

"But...... Mr. Heatscliffe is a very good man, he has led the master players of the Raiders team to victory over many strong opponents in the past, if I want to do that......"

For ordinary people, Heathcliff is just like Kirito, a reliable player who can lead everyone through the game, and is the savior of Ain Grant.

However, the truth is very cruel.

"As I said earlier, this is my request for my life, and I believe that Miss Terazawa will definitely pursue the truth, after all, Hitzcliff has not encountered any problems so far, and his strength is really too 'smooth sailing'."

"Hmm...... Mr. Gu Wu's please......"

"That's the ...... the end"

"Please don't say that."

After some thought, Ayaka Terazawa finally nodded in agreement.

"I will do it, since Mr. Gu Wu has done it, I have no reason to refuse."

"It's not just me, Kirito-kun and Miss Asuna will be participating."

"Will the two of them too?! It seems that things are really not as simple as they seem. ”

Ayaka Terasawa is not stupid, her mind turns quickly.

"Since the meeting will start tomorrow morning, it is estimated that action will be taken in the afternoon, and the specific plan will be implemented...... I speculate at dusk. ”

"Okay, I see."

"Please, do you need my help here?"

"No need, this is our own business, please Mr. Gu Wu go and rest."

"Then I'll be respectful and obey."

Before leaving, Gu Wu said that if he had any questions, he could contact him, and he would rush to the scene as soon as possible.

After returning to the room, Gu Wu switched to lazy mode again.

There are already players in the Raiders Mansion who are talking about the strategy of the hundredth floor, and everyone actually can't hold it anymore, wanting to witness the end and end of this world.

Gu Wu is also one of them, but now he has to be more calm.

You have to keep your mind calm, and the rest is just waiting.

Wait until Ayaka Terazawa completes the task, wait for Akihiko Kayaba to show her feet, and then go here to end everything.

This final task is not allowed to fail again!! 8)
