......

Then, just like the original plot, Akihiko Kayaba tells the cruelty of the game's death reality, the method of leaving Ayn Grant on the 100th floor, and the mirror that shows the player's true reality, and the death game officially begins.

Because Gu Xuan knew about the existence of the mirror, he and Isaac were both shown in their true faces. Of course, those players who don't use mirrors will automatically emerge as their true faces.

"Alright, now it's time to race against the clock, let's talk as we go." Gu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was solemn, and the two of them left the restless crowd for the first time and headed for their destination.

Even if it is a death game, it is essentially a game composed of data, and level, equipment, and money are the necessary conditions for survival. All players will plunder each other for resources, monster spawn locations, quest acceptance, and town resources.

Among them, the main god messengers of each legion will definitely be far ahead, far ahead of ordinary players, and even the beta testers during the Sword Art Online closed beta period. And Gu Xuan and Isaac don't want to be eliminated, they have to stand out among the various legions.

This difficulty made Gu Xuan completely unsure, but it was not a question of whether it could be done or not, but it had to be done. Fortunately, he knew that intelligence could obtain resources first, at least in the early stage, a large step ahead of other legions who were looking for information.

Standing at the top, there is a chance.

Gu Xuan and Isaac's first target was the village closest to the starting town: Holenka Village!

At dusk, you can see the vast prairie and the verdant sea dyed yellow. Unable to enjoy the breeze, this is not a joke game, and from time to time there will be fat boars in the way of the grassland.

Accelerate forward.

Isaac didn't even take out his one-handed shield, raised his sword, and had already repeated the action of an afternoon with great skill, slashing.

The attacked boar let out a cry of pain, and Isaac continued to run without looking back.

Next, hand it over to Gu Xuan.

Then, slamming on the ground, like the acceleration impact of a cannonball's chamber.

With the judgment of the system, the crimson sword light appeared, and the basic skill of the one-handed curved knife: Reaver (Marauder).

Then, the boar's body collapsed and dissipated, and the material that had just fallen was also picked up by Gu Xuan, who had killed it, with his other hand.

The whole process was not delayed for a second, and it was very ordinary to maintain an even running speed, and easily killed a roadblocker.

Now that the two of them are level three, they only need a flat slash and a basic skill to perfectly solve a boar's health bar. After all, it's just a matter of data, and the return of accurate calculations is the greatest time savings.

The night moon is like a hook, and the blood moon kills.

Gu Xuan and Isaac had already come to the first village, Holenka Village, and along the way, in addition to the Lv1 mountain boar, they also killed a bunch of Lv3 manic mountain wolves that blocked the way when they passed through the forest.

By the way, killing a mountain wolf requires a flat slash and two basic skills. Therefore, the cooperation method of the two is the same as killing the wild boar at the beginning, but Isaac changed to use the flat slash first, and then make up the basic skill after Gu Xuan uses the skill.

The village of Holenka, as expected, is located in a very poor place, unpaved, a few square meters. Because monsters do not appear in towns and villages, and players cannot attack each other in them, even if the village in front of you does not even have a fence, there will be no wild monsters to invade.

When you enter the village, you will be surrounded by melodious music from the system, and there are only a few NPCs on the map.

Gu Xuan and Isaac first went to the NPC in the blacksmith shop to repair the durability of the weapons, but did not buy new weapons. According to the intelligence, you can receive a task in the village to kill the Boar Boss, and the task reward is the weapon corresponding to the Boar Boss level.

An ordinary wooden bungalow, fenced with stone stacks, and the largest courtyard in the village was planned. This house is the house of the village chief of Holenka, and the task he can receive from the village chief is to kill the head of the boar.

As soon as Gu Xuan and Isaac entered the room, a pile of firewood was burning with raging flames, and the two NPCs next to them were sitting on the ground.

One was a hunchbacked old man with snowy sideburns, and the other was a stout young man, and they remained motionless until someone entered, and the old man turned his head stiffly.

"Good evening, see that the weapon in your hand is a traveling adventurer, right?"

"Yes."

The old man showed a stiff smile: "I have a request, but this request is life-threatening. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." The next step should be the mission introduction.

"In fact, a huge boar has invaded our village recently, destroying the fields we have worked so hard to cultivate, and even the few young strong men in the village have been injured, so I have to ask you adventurers to help our village solve this scourge."

Just like in the game, a golden exclamation mark appears on the old man's head, indicating that the player is ready to accept the quest.

"What's the pay?"

"A Lv5 weapon of any kind."

Gu Xuan's brows furrowed, a lot of information could be understood in the conversation, for example, the weapon rewarded by the mission now would be the level of the target monster of the mission.

However, there was a difference in the rewards of the mission, first of all, Gu Xuan could definitely rule out that the information he purchased was false. Because the flow of the mission is as the intelligence says, only the rewards have changed, and it is likely to be changed after it has become a death game.

"No other rewards?" Gu Xuan was silent for a while and then tried to negotiate.

"Nope."

The answer he got was only a dull refusal, so Gu Xuan's eyes looked at Isaac and refused to accept the task.

Undeterred, the old man stiffly turned to face the fire.

"What do you think?" Gu Xuan asked.

"I'll try." After that, Isaac also stepped forward to trigger the mission, but the result was still the same as Gu Xuan just now, after the old man told the exact same conversation, the task reward was just an ordinary Lv5 weapon of any kind.

Is this really all there is to the quest reward?

This doubt bothered Gu Xuan, because if this was the case, then if you wanted to stand at the top first, it would not exist!

The game is all about data is king, level, equipment. In the early stage of the first layer of the boss, it is difficult to open the player's level gap, so good equipment is the key to widening the strength gap.

In a quest like this, where everyone is rewarded the same, you can equip the weapons purchased by the merchant when you reach a level, and there is no chance of taking the lead.

No, there must be hidden rewards.

Gu Xuan rubbed his chin and pondered, it was like in the original book that players who get LA will get better items, hidden quests to get additional skills and physical techniques, continuous quests from Lv2 to Lv9, and so on.

There is definitely something to trigger this task, so try it in another way.

The two of them didn't accept any tasks, so they came directly to the village chief to accept the highest-level task in Holenka Village, so they ......
