Chapter 348: People Who Want to Enter
"I'm not going to lose to you, an alien challenger."
Recalling Kayaba Jingyan's words, Gu Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, in his expectation, because he broke the agreement, he used forces outside the system when attacking the boss, so that the HP of the boss was greatly weakened, which made the previous crusade mission successful.
As a result of the above practices, Akihiko Kayaba, who is the GM of the stealth game SAO, should be banned, but ......
In the case just mentioned, instead of giving punishment, Kayaba Jinghiko said the same lines as a provocation, as if hinting that Gu Wu could also challenge him.
In fact, even if Akihiko Kayaba didn't say that, Gu Wu would do the same.
Under the premise of being banned, Gu Wu has only one way to complete the task, that is, to defeat the final boss of the hundredth floor, Kayaba Jinghiko, and defeat it alone, only in this way can the task be completed.
Obviously, this condition is very harsh, after all, as the male protagonist, Kirito needs 'the power of the will beyond the system' to defeat Akihiko Kayaba, so what means does Gu Wu, an outsider, have to use?
Recalling the time when he fought with Kayaba Jinghiko, Gu Wu's hands could still clearly feel the blow and the ferocious oppressive force.
This is the game world, everything is made up of data, there is nothing that is not presented by the system, but the problem is that Gu Wu can really feel it.
Even if the system didn't put the relevant data into the brain, the tense, terrifying memories were clearly audible.
However, such a situation makes sense for Gu Wu.
For other players, everything they see and touch comes from the feedback of system data, but Gu Wu, who is not wearing a login device, is obviously not subject to this rule.
What you see is what you hear, and it is not a virtual information that the data has been reproduced after being processed by the system.
Maybe this is a breaking point......
"And the only chance......"
Gu Wu, who was talking to himself, lay on the bed.
No matter what kind of game it is, for Kirito, they still can't escape the scope of the game;
But it is different here for Gu Wu, everything he does is based on the reality of self-knowledge.
To put it simply, for players, this is a virtual world, and for Gu Wu, it is a real real world.
In this stealth game, all the actions of the players are made up of data; Even if you don't use sword skills and use other means of attack, it can be regarded as the result of the system's calculation.
As for Gu Wu's side.
He is influenced by the system, but not completely subject to it.
In terms of sword skills, when Gu Wu uses sword skills, he will be corrected by the system, probably because he has been recognized by the system as a 'program action that can be assisted', so what if Gu Wu changes his actions at this time?
Of course, this change is not a direct change from 'fighting with swordsmanship' to 'fighting without swordsmanship' like Kirito.
For example, if you use a one-handed sword to perform a horizontal slash, this skill will be modified to a certain extent, and the purpose is to allow the player to perfectly unleash the sword skills in the game.
So at this moment, Gu Wu suddenly twisted the slashing track of the 'Horizontal Slash', what would be the result?
The 'horizontal slash' that should have been corrected by the system changed direction, so it will still get the system's correction at this time?
If it's not fixed, will it spawn new tricks?
Will this new move be recognized as a 'sword skill' and corrected?
Gu Wu's questions are actually for the purpose of serving a problem.
Presumably many people know Kirito's strength, and he has the Unique Skill of the Second Knife Stream, which is a skill that is awarded to the player with the fastest reaction speed in all SAOs - Star Burst Stream.
So how is this slash composed?
It doesn't matter if it's a unique skill for the quickest responder, or if it's a set skill for the Darkchaser and Explainer, it's enough to know that 'it's part of the system'.
And under this premise, the sword skills of the system are undoubtedly prescribed.
Horizontal slash, dash horizontal slash, whirlwind slash, double parallel slash, cross down slash...... In short, there is a law, a law that even Kirito must follow.
The reason why a sword skill is a sword skill is because once it is triggered, it can achieve the effect of a secondary attack in that battle, and this support is naturally mandatory.
If a sword skill can be changed at will, then it is not a 'sword skill', but a simple slash.
On this basis, it is necessary to return to what Gu Wu mentioned just now.
"Game World ......"
It's a brutal game world, but it's also a world with a system setting.
So in this world, what can Gu Wu, a person who does not conform to the original setting, do something?
That's right......
Just like the girl.
It was the girl who appeared in the story after thatβββ Konno Kapok season.
Konno Kapok Season has the power to surpass other players in the newborn ALO.
"But I'm not a genius."
That girl had a long sneaking time, and Kirito had a good enough reaction speed, and the two of them were much stronger than Gu Wu in any aspect.
The game is like this, talent and talent and the time spent can bring strength, and Gu Wu does not occupy either side, which is a bit troublesome......
In this case, maybe the only way to ask Kirito and Asuna to train themselves is the same as before.
Kirito's side is fine, while Asuna is the one who doesn't stop until she gets perfect.
Although Asuna is usually a quiet and beautiful beautiful girl, and she will treat her boyfriend gently, she also has the spirit of not admitting defeat in her bones.
Is it because it is an elite itself?
Gu Wu didn't know, he only knew that under Asuna's training, he would become extremely tired.
Of course, now is not the time to complain, but Gu Wu is a human being after all, not an emotionless machine, so naturally there will be frustration and helplessness in him.
In fact, this is the case at the moment.
After Gu Wu got help, he wanted to seek more help, but the problem was that he had to fight alone in the end.
The task given by the system also has its reason, Gu Wu knows it, but that truth doesn't mean much to Gu Wu.
It's troublesome, but ...... You have to move forward, that's how life is.
It's not a big truth, it's a truth that everyone knows in their hearts.
Colds, headaches, failures, being left behind, being bullied, no matter what you face, you have to go on, but some people choose the extreme way, while others continue to seek better solutions.
Gu Wu, who closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and this time he did not fall into the water.
Due to his previous failures and successes, his mood is still relatively calm.
Failure is naturally due to 'no SOLO to drop the boss';
Success is due to the fact that 'the players defeated the boss'.
Looking at their excited and excited looks, it proves that Gu Wu's efforts are not without gain, but ......
The joy that was shared in that harvest was unacceptable to him.
It's really helpless.
Gu Wu opened his eyes again and walked to the window to stare at the outside world.
At night, the city quiets down, and the occasional colorful bird can be seen flying past the eaves, followed by an unknown call in the darkness.
Lights like crystal brilliance are lit up everywhere, like a sky full of stars reflected by the flood, and you can see that there are not many NPCs on the street at the moment, but there are many more players.
They must have known the information about the 99th floor, so they packed their bags while talking, and prepared to go to the 100th floor to have a look.
For players, the hundredth floor is the final battlefield.
Once they conquer it, they can be liberated from this world and truly free.
However, once they know the truth, they must be shocked and even despaired.
In the original work, Kirito had a decisive battle with Kayaba Akihiko in advance, and Kayaba Akihiko at that time was definitely not in the state of 'BOSSS mode', otherwise he would not have been killed easily.
And in the next challenge, Kayaba Jinghiko will definitely appear as a boss with high attack and high defense, after all, the battle of the strategy boss is a multiplayer copy, and Kayaba Jinghiko will not waste time one by one.
Unless......
In the next plot, expose the true face of Akihiko Ashwaga, and let him come out to duel in advance like the original plot.
But does this advance really work? After all, it's already the hundredth floor.
"There are so many questions...... If Akihiko Kayaba refuses to do so, there doesn't seem to be a good way, but ...... I guess I won't deny it, after all, it's already on the last floor, and sooner or later my identity will be revealed. β
Gu Wu, who said this, actually knew very well that this was not the problem at all.
The root cause of all problems and troubles is a lack of ability.
Many people know the saying, 'In the face of absolute power, all schemes will be meaningless'.
In the distant past, when the faith was taken advantage of, countless believers turned into absolute power, treating all opponents as infidels and punishing them;
Then another group of people saw the natural disaster as the work of witches, and took the name of 'gods' without authorization, so they killed a group of innocent people.
Obviously, 'absolute power' comes in many forms.
In the world of Ayn Grant, Kigahiko is the embodiment of 'absolute power'.
He is a veteran player and the GM of the game, and if you add the bonus of the boss attribute later, you can imagine how terrifying he is.
For this reason, Gu Wu had only one choice.
Make yourself stronger, and then expose Akihiko Kayaba to fight it.
However, in order to achieve this condition, not only Gu Wu must work hard, but also need to get Kayaba Jinghiko to cooperate.
It can be seen that Gu Wu is in an overwhelming unfavorable situation in the next plot.
Trying to move forward, the road ahead is not only full of thorns, but also new threats that may emerge at any time.
"To sum it up......"
First of all, Gu Wu needs time, which means that the strategy team must slow down the speed of the strategy on the hundredth floor (but due to the existence of three bosses, it is definitely not simple);
The second is that Gu Wu must make himself stronger, after all, strong strength is the only capital to defeat the boss, and other schemes are useless;
One final note...... Gu Wu wants to make good use of his characteristics that do not belong to this world and formulate a plan that is conducive to battle, which is different from stratagem, it is used in actual combat.
In this way, the most important thing is time......
"Let's rest first."
Gu Wu, who had told himself like this, returned to the bed again, he yawned, and the fatigue that had devoured his body hit again.
What will tomorrow bring?
Gu Wu, who was a little uneasy, began to rest and entered his dream.
ββββ
Early the next morning, Gu Wu was woken up by a constant knock on the door, and he knew that he would attach silent equipment to the door, but he didn't know if it was useful.
"Who...... So early. β
"Mr. Gu Wu! It's 12:40 p.m. I was a little worried, so I came over! Shouldn't there be any problem, right? β
Is it already so late? It seems that I was really tired before.
Thinking of this, Gu Wu rubbed his eyes and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Gu Wu had the illusion that a beast suddenly popped out in front of him, but it was actually the aura brought by an overactive girl.
Looking at this lively girl with a white slanted ponytail, he was wearing a light feather coat and orange lining, with a waist with a city pine pattern (which can also be seen as a checkered pattern) around his waist, and his lower body was dominated by a cool short skirt, it seemed that he was not here to find Gu Wu to go out to fight.
"What's the matter with me?"
It may be a bit impolite to ask such a question, but Gu Wu still chose to go straight to the point.
Ayaka Terazawa, who was asked, didn't grind and chirp, she was a straightforward girl herself, so she pointed directly outside.
"Of course I want to find Mr. Gu Wu to go outside, the previous battle was very hard, right? After all, you have to fight a monster like that alone! β
"The pressure is gone, and now I'm already thinking about how to defeat the hundredth floor boss, so ...... What is the status of the Raiders group? β
"Those powerful players seem to be ready to continue attacking the next floor while the iron is hot, but they have also prepared plenty of rest time for themselves, and I think Mr. Gu Wu can meet them."
Speaking of this, Terasawa Ayaka also took Gu Wu's hand.
"Now Mr. Gu Wu is already the hero of Ayn Grant! Please cheer up! β
"You're too energetic, and I haven't been defeated."
