Chapter 28: A Month Later

The Town of Initiation

"Now that it's over, it's time for me to eat!"

After glancing at the crowd, Lu Qing left the central square silently, found a room, and went offline from the communication system.

It's dark!

When Lu Qing opened his eyes again, the surrounding scene had returned to the bedroom.

Sitting up from the bed, Lu Qing patted his head with his eyes closed, sorting out the memories in his mind.

After spending a few hours in SAO, and now returning to reality, Lu Qing really has a feeling that the difference between reality and fiction is unclear.

But fortunately, Lu Qing quickly sorted out his memory.

Lu Qing once again had to sigh that this kind of virtual reality technology is really powerful.

SAO, which Akihiko Aoba made on this basis, if it weren't for the elements of the game in it, I'm afraid it could be completely fake and real as a real world.

After packing up his mood, Lu Qing quickly went out and found a restaurant next to the community to eat.

After eating, Lu Qing moved his muscles and bones, and then lay down on the bed!

"System, enter SAO!"

When he opened his eyes, the world came to SAO again, and Lu Qing was lying on the bed in the room at this time.

The Game of Death has officially begun!

Now players need to race against the clock to make themselves stronger.

Now SAO, unless you stay in a town or village, you have to make yourself stronger.

Because only when you become stronger is your capital to live.

Nowadays, all the players in SAO are based on reality, but their physical qualities are different from reality.

Whether it is a male or female player, everyone's physical strength, physique, etc. are taken as an average.

If you want to be enhanced, you must rely on the increase in level or equipment.

Lu Qing's current level is level.3.

The level of brushing in one afternoon was only increased by two levels, because Lu Qing was mainly mastering the use of sword skills.

After an afternoon of running-in, Lu Qing also began to enter the state.

In that case, it's time for the leveling journey!

Before leaving the Beginning Town, Lu Qing still had something to do.

Just go to the shop and see if you can update your equipment.

And you also need to buy some food.

There's such a thing as hunger in the game.

Once the hunger level drops to a certain value, the character will have the feeling of hunger on an empty stomach in reality.

It's not just hunger, it's also physical strength.

When SAO was designed, except for specific game elements, all other aspects were designed according to reality.

For example, if the amount of health drops to a dangerous value in battle, the character will become weak and difficult to move, etc.

Half an hour later

Lu Qing left the Beginning Town.

In the Town of Start, many players are still in the town at this time, comforting each other to dispel fear and despair.

When passing by the Life Monument, which recorded the player's information, the time of death, and the cause of death, Lu Qing stopped and looked at it a few times.

It was discovered that only an hour had passed, and three or four players had died.

However, the nightmare continues!

Lu Qing's direction was the north of the first layer, and behind the plains was the dense forest.

It seems that the dungeon room where the first lord boss 'Kobold Lord Ilfang' is located is in the forest.

Of course, Lu Qing's main purpose in going to the forest was to see if he could find the lord's room.

Now Lu Qing doesn't have the ability to go to the trouble of the lord boss.

Not even to say that it is the lord boss, even if it is its guard, Lu Qing may not have done it.

After all, the level attribute is suppressed too much.

Now Lu Qing is only two levels, and his weapons and equipment are not very good.

It still needs to develop, and it can't be wasted.

Lu Qing is not a player of the closed beta, and he doesn't know much about the things on the SAO façade, and he only knows some things that are famous in the animation.

Therefore, the plan that Lu Qing set for himself was to follow fate, and it would be good to go crazy and farm monsters to increase the level.

The players of the SAO façade can be divided into six types:

The first is a fifty percent player who doesn't believe in Akihiko Kayaba's conditions for clearing the game and is rescued, and spends his days in panic, waiting for rescue in the real world.

The second type has about 30% of the players who make up the 'army', which is the largest guild in the early days, and is managed by the army as a class.

The third is that some of them waste Kell without a plan, and they can't muster up the energy to get supplies, and finally occupy the slums and do their bandit-like acts.

The fourth type is only a few hundred people, which is a 'strategy group' formed by top players, with the goal of reaching the 100th floor to clear SAO.

The fifth type is to choose as a logistics personnel, such as blacksmiths, merchants, intelligence dealers, and so on, and the number of people is about two or three hundred.

The last one is a lone player.,For example, the protagonist Kiritto belongs to this kind of player.,The composition is basically a player who has participated in the closed beta.,At the beginning, sprint your own level with all your might.。

Of the six types of players, what Lu Qing has to do is, of course, be a lone player like Kirito.

Joining guilds, organizations, and the like doesn't seem to be Lu Qing, after all, there are too many rules, and the speed of improvement is slower than that of a solo walker.

Boreal Forest

Rustle Rustle –

Stepping on the dry leaves on the ground, Lu Qing came here with a cold expression.

"Hoo ......"

Looking at the dense forest in front of him, Lu Qing exhaled a long breath and muttered to himself: "SAO, I'm here, wait for me to conquer you!" ”

As the words fell, Lu Qing's figure gradually disappeared and disappeared into the forest.

Tick Tick –

Time flies, and the white horse flies!

Day after day, the Monument of Life, which contains the player's information, changes every day.

There are players who have lost their lives today!

Another player lost his life today!

Every day, there are players who look at the Monument of Life and are silently distracted.

Somewhere in the west of the town of Initiation!

A male player is harvesting the life of a monster with incredible efficiency, and although his eyebrows are a little tired, his eyes are as sharp as a sword.

Bang bang bang!

One after another, monsters exploded into blue shards under his sword.

"Getting Stronger......

After resting on the spot for a moment, the player muttered a word and rushed towards the next monster.

Somewhere in the south

A player shrouded in black robes, unable to see clearly, unable to know his gender, wields a rapier sword and fights a manic boar.

Looking at her appearance, she seems to be a novice.

Plains, lakes, mountains, and caves are all over the place, and thousands of players frantically harvest monsters in droves.

There is a fight to suppress fear.

There is a battle to water hope.

There is a fight to numb yourself.

Drinking, wailing, weeping—

Life is constantly unfolding, and every day, players lose their lives permanently!

A month later, the death toll reached a terrifying 2,000 people, and not only in the SAO, but also in reality, has attracted the attention of the whole world.

Ignoring the envy and jealousy of the surrounding players, Lu Qing returned to the Origin Town with a cold expression and walked in the direction of the hotel.

The Lord Raiders battle is about to begin!
