"The world of Sword Art Online... ?..."

Standing on a street, I looked around wordlessly, watching pedestrians come and go, vehicles stop and go, and tall buildings all around, it was completely a scene like a modern city, and I couldn't help but sigh...

"In such a world, it's no wonder that the watch restricts me from using something as foul as magic..., but this time the restriction doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse," Lu Yun said, then Lu Yun raised his arm, opened the watch on his wrist, and a light curtain appeared, Lu Yun looked at his task again, and cleared the 100th floor..."Lu Yun rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and sighed. "This is the protagonist of the original book, and he has not been able to accomplish a feat..."

In the original work, the clearance of 'SAO' is not a normal strategy, it is the protagonist Kiritani Kazuto who discovered the true identity of the founder of 'SAO' - Kayaba Akihiko, which led to the early arrival of the final battle, and triggered the clearance, at that time, the protagonist of the original book was just a strategy to the 75th floor...

In other words, if Lu Yun wants to complete the mandatory task, then, if he follows the original plot, it will definitely not work!

Not only that, but he also had to find ways to help Akihiko Aoba hide his identity, so as not to appear in the plot direction of the original book, and before he cleared the 100th floor, the boss was served, and at that time, his fun was great...

"Well, these things don't have to be a headache for the time being..."Lu Yun put down the hand that rubbed his eyebrows, and looked ahead a little blankly. The question is, how do I get a gaming headset? I don't have a game helmet, what kind of games do I play, and I still have a connection device, a connection, these are all problems..."

Perhaps sensing the troubles of being speechless, the system prompted very 'kindly': "Users, when you need to enter the 'SAO' world, you only need to apply to the system to enter!" "Request entry from the system?" Lu Yun opened his mouth in surprise. "System, you still have this function? …” Ignoring the wordlessness, the system reminded itself. "The system can provide users with a connection function, when the user applies to enter the 'SAO' world, the system will automatically connect the user, provided that the 'SAO' world is opened!" "Well, this saved me a lot of time..."Lu Yun chuckled....

In the streets and alleys, in the home stores, as long as there are TVs, computers and other places with screens, a program is constantly being replayed, and there is only one theme of the program, that is, the upcoming 'SAO'!

As a game that allows players to directly enter the game world and experience the game life, 'sao' can be said to have attracted the attention of all those who like games, don't like games, are interested, and even have no interest.

The time for 'SAO' to open is 13:00, which means that there are still 5 minutes to go, and 'SAO' will be on!

All the people who had the 'sao' connection tool in their hands were looking at a corner, a corner marked with time, including Lu Yun.

In a hotel, Lu Yun leaned his back against the wall, his eyes tightly closed.

Although he didn't have a headset on his head, he applied to the system to enter 'sao', and when he closed his eyes, the scene in front of him was no different from those wearing helmets.

Although 'sao' is a game, it is not a joke, because, after logging into the game, after about four or five hours, the player in the game will never be able to quit the game!

The only way to get out of this world is to defeat the boss on the top floor of 'Aingrant', which is the 100th floor, and complete the 'Complete Raid'!

In addition, in the game, if the player's helmet is taken off, the player will immediately be destroyed by the high-output microwave emitted by the helmet and die!

Similarly, in 'SAO', there is no chance of rebirth if you die, and once you die once, the helmet will immediately destroy the player's brain tissue, which is a real death game!

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Lu Yunna, anyway, he doesn't wear a helmet, he has a systematic anti-heaven bug, how can his body be hurt....

Looking at the countdown in the corner, it wasn't until after 12:59 that Lu Yun pursed his lips.

"Hey, I haven't been able to eat for a long time, although I enter SAO, my body will be dormant, I hope that when I wake up, I won't be dizzy from hunger... Well, let me enjoy the life of the game..."

After saying such a sentence, the time in the upper left corner officially jumped to '13:00'!

Lu Yun's eyes lit up!

"Ash! Connect to the world of 'SAO'! ”

"Alright, user, let's connect!"

The moment the system prompt fell, the scene in front of Lu Yun's eyes suddenly changed, the darkness on both sides suddenly lit up, and infinitely began to pull away, at the same time, a series of data links flashed in front of his eyes, and the words 'ok' kept flashing, and finally, the scene in front of him went black!

It wasn't until here that Lu Yun felt as if he had control over his body, and the darkness in front of him made Lu Yun subconsciously open his eyes...

An antique, European-flavored building appeared in front of him, blue sky and white clouds, green trees, even the air, giving people a feeling that is fresher than the real world, a breeze swept through Lu Yun's body like a real one, making him squint his eyes pleasantly.

Around, one after another, under the carrying of an illusory flash, flashed frequently, in a short moment, countless mountains of people flooded this area, although not to the point of crowding, but the roaring noise told everyone, how many people are here!

"This is 'sao'?"

"The world of the game? Really? It's so real..."

"Haha! What a beautiful setting! It's a great game world! ”

One after another, shouts of excitement came from the surrounding crowd, reaching into the sky, and this place, which was extremely silent a second ago, was filled with noise in the blink of an eye!

Looking at the players who were excited and began to be eager to try, Lu Yun sighed and stood up, these fools, they don't know how to die.......

I don't know, what will the expressions on their faces be like when they know that they have entered a world of death games? …

Shaking his head and patting his face, Lu Yun walked into the city in front of him...

Rows of towering buildings, in the city, all the buildings are ancient, as if carved from giant stone carvings, the streets are full of people, so lively.

This is the starting town of the first floor of 'Al Grande', a town that towers above the savannah, extending in all directions, and each passage leads to various regions, towns, villages, and even monster areas outside the town.

"The best level 1 novice sword! The attack is half as high as the weapon sent by the system! Two Coins! There are only three! While supplies last! Come and see! ”

"Homemade Recovery Potion! Two bottles of one coin per coin! Fight monsters PK two right! Walk by! Don't miss out! ”

"Isn't there a group to kill monsters? I have one of some groups! This big brother! Do you have a group? Little brother, I'm proficient in fighting monsters, killing monsters, playing treasures, and picking up everything, but I don't know how to paddle, so group me up! ”

Listening to the shouts around him, Lu Yun's sweat was about to flow down, but he didn't expect that the games in the two-dimensional world were so complaining...

Every newcomer to the 'SAO' game has a start-up capital of 10 Kel coins, and many people are hanging around those stalls in order to be able to level up a little faster for the first time, some buy equipment, some buy potions, all in all, an atmosphere of the game world, and there is no difference with the real world.

In this respect, Akihiko Kayaba, who pioneered 'SAO', is really a rare talent, of course, only in this kind of world where there is no mystery...

Glancing at the weapons on the stalls, Lu Yun shook his head and walked out of town.

Indeed, those weapons have a much higher attack power than the weapons given away by the system, but compared to the novice equipment, they will soon be eliminated.

Although with such a piece of equipment, the leveling speed of the novice stage will definitely be much faster, but for Lu Yun, he already has the Red Lotus Sword.

Weapon attacks are not enough, use skills to make up for it, anyway, it's all about fighting monsters, good weapons, sooner or later there will be... At present, I already have a handful, which can be said to be a big step ahead of others....

Lu Yun opened the system interface of 'SAO', checked his personal status, and looked at the extremely complicated base value, Lu Yun almost collapsed. "I'm going, isn't it just a game, is it necessary to be so serious?"

I don't know how many times I sighed, I closed the interface, and Lu Yun continued to walk forward.....

...............

1st floor of Ayn Grant, on the outskirts of the Town of Start...

In the undulating prairie, as far as the eye can see, except for the town that stands in the very center, it is surrounded by green grass seedlings, flowers with different colors fluttering in the wind in the plain full of green grass, but they are buried in the same green grass, it is difficult to see its existence...

In addition to these grass seedlings and flowers, there are also wild boars full of visual sense, purple all over, walking back and forth in the savannah, as if they are not pigs, but sheep, which makes people's hearts throb.

Walking out of the starting town, as soon as he came here, he saw this scene like a pig, Lu Yunna complained all kinds of complaints, feeling that his three views were being destroyed, and in the end, he could only use this game to comfort himself.

Perhaps because he was angered by Lu Yun's 'contempt' eyes, the pig closest to Lu Yun turned around abruptly, his eyes turned red, and a pig's hoof stepped on the ground again and again, like a crazy cow, so that Lu Yun couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

After loading the sheep, forget it, and pretend to be a cow, it's really embarrassing for the pig.

The wild boar opened its mouth and howled, finally having the appearance of a little pig, and rushed towards Lu Yun with two sharp teeth.

Even if your magic is sealed, but with the red lotus in your hand, the compensation of martial arts (proficient) is there, and if you want to solve a pig, there should be no problem!

"Boom!"

At the moment when the wild boar was on the sidelines, a bright red sword suddenly appeared in front of the wild boar's fangs, completely blocking the wild boar's momentum, and then, a big foot flew out in an instant, kicked on the wild boar's nose, and a terrible pig killing sound sounded, and the wild boar was kicked back.

A flash of sword light stabbed the boar's neck like lightning, and a section of blood visible to the naked eye quickly decreased, and it was reduced by almost a tenth before stopping.

Standing in front, Lu Yun looked at the wild boar that was kicked back by himself, his brows furrowed deeply, and he looked up to the sky and sighed like a cup.

"I'll go, there's too much of this sealed!"

"Let's try the skills in 'sao', or you'll have to fight when..."

At this time, Lu Yun, who is only level 1, only has two skills in the skill column, and the 'Thrust' and 'Throw' two blades can only be used with two weapons.

"Remember, the skill in 'sao' seems to be a gesture of raising your hand after being touched."

Lu Yun closed his eyes and slowly touched the 'Thrust' skill, and then, a posture appeared in his mind, reflexively, Lu Yun's hand holding the sword was raised to his shoulder, and his body turned sideways.

Almost at the same time, on the sword body of the long sword in Lu Yun's hand, a burst of pale red light filled the entire sword body!

His eyes opened suddenly, and a sharp light flashed inside, and then, Lu Yun's whole person flew out!

Quickly came to the front of the wild boar, stabbed the red lotus sword in his hand, passed through the body of the wild boar, and came to the back of the wild boar.

An illusory wound appeared on the boar's body, and its blood volume immediately dropped, and after a while, it directly crossed the yellow line, crossed the red line, and then reached the bottom.

The boar cracked apart and turned into a projection showing the experience Lu Yun had gained, Kell, and the size of the pit father, the Great Pig's Trotters.

After the battle with the wild boar, combined with some information in the original book, Lu Yun also roughly understood his level at this time.

I haven't played this game, but I'm several times stronger than those so-called closed beta testers, including Kirito!

After sorting out his current state, Lu Yun lowered his head and pondered, and a pair of eyes immediately looked at the wild boars walking around with bad intentions.

There are still almost three hours left before the 'sao' game cancels the logout command and becomes a game of death.

These three hours, if you don't use it for leveling, it would be a pity.

Time passes imperceptibly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

When dusk approaches, a bell rings throughout the first floor of the newbie town.

Lu Yun was forcibly teleported back to the initial novice square in a burst of light.

Lu Yun stood in the crowd and listened to the slightly uneasy and confused discussions of the other players who were forcibly teleported back, clasped his hands to his chest, and closed his eyes silently.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know ......"

"Is it an event?"

"What the hell is this going to do!"

When all players are forcibly teleported back, the bell stops.

In the noisy square, uneasiness began to spread.

"Huh! What do you see that!? ”

Some players suddenly stretched out their hands and pointed at the sky and shouted.

When everyone heard this, they all looked up at the sky.

Under the dusk, in the originally beautiful sunset, a blood-red hexagonal window flickered in the sky, and in the window, a big "warnng" made everyone's hearts twitch fiercely, shocking. Immediately, centered on that hexagonal blood-red border, countless blood-red windows began to appear, covering the entire sky in the blink of an eye! The entire novice town seemed to be covered in a blood-red shroud.

"Warning! System Announcement! ”

From the blood-red cover, a blood-like liquid began to flow, and after flowing out of the mask, the liquid floated in mid-air, and finally converged on the top of everyone's heads, forming a huge figure wearing a blood-colored cloak and unable to see the face clearly.

"What the hell?"

"Is it the Game Master?"

"Why don't you have a face?"

"What the hell is this?"

"I'm so scared ......"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

.....

Looking at the huge figure in the sky with a cloak, Lu Yun whispered, "Kayaba Jinghiko......"

"Hello players!"

Shadow spoke in the midst of everyone's uneasy looks.

"Welcome to ...... The world I created! ”

"My name is Akihiko Kayaba, and I'm the only one who can control this world right now."

There was a burst of exclamations in the square, and there was no doubt that Akihiko Kayaba, who developed this game with a sao game on his head, was a household name in the world.

The players never thought that they would meet him one day, even in the game, however, the figure ignored the players' exclamations, and continued to himself: "At this time, I believe you have already found out that there is no logout option in this game. ”

"It's not a bug, though."

"Again, this is not a bug! This design is the real game design of Sword Art Online! ”

"From now on, you will not be able to log out of the game on your own, nor will you be able to shut down or dismantle Nervegear with the assistance of an outside third party, if someone tries to do so, the signal parts in Nervegear will send out an extremely powerful electric current to destroy the player's brain, stop your bodily functions, and kill you!"

"Because the Nervegear has a large battery built-in, it doesn't stop working even if the power is cut off! And, once you run out of battery power in battery mode, Nervegear will kill you as well! ”

"Unfortunately, so far, many of our family and friends have ignored our warnings and attempted to forcibly shut down Nervegear, resulting in the death of 213 players!"

With a wave of the figure in the sky, a web page appeared in the sky, showing news that the player had died as a result of attempting to dismantle the nervegear!

"As you can see, this incident has shocked the whole world!"

"Also, one thing to remind you that from now on, all resurrection features in the game, whether props or whatever, will be nullified! If you die at zero in the game, Nervegear will destroy your brains and kill you! ”

"There is only one way to get players out of the game, and that is to clear all 100 floors of Ayn Grant! Fight the top boss of the level, so that you players can leave this world normally! ”

"Finally, I gave each player a small gift, I wish you all a happy strategy!"

After saying these words, the huge figure in the sky that called itself Akihiko Kayaba disappeared, and at the same time, the blood-colored light that enveloped the entire sky also disappeared, revealing a beautiful sunset once again.

It's just that, in the eyes of all players, the originally beautiful sunset looks so palpitating, and the despair spreads like a plague in everyone's hearts.

Lu Yun looked at the disappearing figure, lowered his head and opened the backpack bar, and a small mirror appeared inside at some point. This mirror allows the player to restore the appearance of the character in the game to its original appearance in reality.

Soon, the bodies of each player emitted a blue light, and after the light, the appearance of the player's body changed, some people were fine, the change was very subtle, but the change of some players was jaw-dropping. And some players who chose the opposite sex when building their characters even recovered their gender, leaving the people next to them stunned.

After the initial astonishment, screams began to resound throughout the novice square. Countless people scurried around like headless flies, trying to find a way to get out of the game, and some people were pushed to the ground by the panicked crowd, trampled on by everyone, and could not get up again.

Ignoring the flustered crowd, Lu Yun clasped his hands to his chest and silently left the novice town.
