Chapter 3: It's a Game, But It's Not a Joke (1)
Privileges always exist, and although money is looked down upon by Zheng Shuanglong, it still has its magical charm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After waiting for a long time for other players, they started queuing a few days ago to barely grab an account. Zheng Shuanglong, who became the largest shareholder of this large shopping site, easily obtained twelve accounts and helmets from within the scope of acquiring 21% of the shares of a large shopping website that sold an account for [Sword Art Online] overnight. And it is delivered to the door by a special person, specially prepared, with many instructions. It's so simple that you just put the helmet on and say [Start connection].
As for the extra accounts and helmets, hey, anyway, take seven and take twelve, so why not prepare for the girls around you. They said that they didn't want to play at this time, it doesn't mean that they don't want to play in the future, it's always right to prepare in advance, and this can also reflect Zheng Shuanglong's gentleness and thoughtfulness. In that case, why didn't Zheng Shuanglong do it?
Sunday, November 6, 2022. One o'clock in the afternoon. The time when the large-scale online role-playing game [Sword Art Online] in the virtual reality is officially in operation.
After enjoying lunch, Zheng Shuanglong and his entourage came to the room in the villa that was specially vacated for the game in advance, looking at the equipment that was installed and prepared at noon yesterday, Zheng Shuanglong picked up a small helmet, knocked on the helmet gently, and muttered softly: "Is this what kind of virtual reality large-scale online role-playing game - [Sword Art Online], the technology content is not very high, I don't know how the quality is." You won't break down in the middle of play. You must know that the quality of things made in Japan is particularly unreliable, the use period is said to be three years, and it can't be supported by one more day, which is really smart enough and bad enough, and sure enough, it is still super uneasy......
Looking at Zheng Shuanglong muttering on his lips, constantly holding the helmet in his hand and looking at it, he was a little anxious if he didn't bring it, he was a little anxious, he liked the game Tio very much, of course, if he could play the game with Zheng, it would be even happier. So, Tiou, who usually seemed very cold, said to Zheng Shuanglong with rare anxiety: "Zheng, [Sword Art Online Sword Art Online] has officially started operation, don't delay, hurry up~!" ”
"Yes, yes, I know, Sharon, Jianmiya, I'll trouble you for dinner, well, the procurement of ingredients and the ordering of takeout have already been met." Zheng Shuanglong, who was stared at by Theo with cute big eyes, looked at Fei, Lixia, Yuli, Claire, and Shina, who couldn't wait to put their helmets on and enter the game, shrugged, and turned to Sharon Dao, who was smiling sweetly.
"Master, please play the game with peace of mind, what should be learned, I and the palace have learned. Absolutely no problem. Sharon lifted the corner of her skirt, saluted slightly, and said.
"Well, then, I'm looking forward to dinner tonight." Smiling at Sharon, Zheng Shuanglong put on his helmet, lay on the bed, and said softly: "The connection begins!" ”
…………
"Woohoo!" With a strange and cute cute voice, the tip of the sword that is swinging wildly just keeps cutting through the air. Immediately afterward, the boar, which was huge but agile enough to dodge the sword, launched a violent dash towards the attacker.
"Poof, Tio-chan, that's not right." Looking at Tiou, who was almost not knocked off by the boar, and Zheng Shuanglong, who was standing on the side with a novice sword to block the boar's attack, he couldn't help laughing.
"It's troublesome, why is there no magic. It's really too much trouble. "Tiou, who was saved by Zheng Shuanglong for the Nth time, had the urge to throw the novice short sword in his hand to the ground. What a game, so bad.
For Theo, magic is much simpler than swordsmanship or something, well, in all aspects of reality and gameplay. Tio-chan is a young girl who uses the power of magic even to slash, and she is really not good at swordsmanship or anything.
It's a pity that there is no magic in the virtual reality online game [Sword Art Online] played by Zheng Shuanglong and his party.
The virtual reality large-scale online role-playing game Sword Art Online is set on a huge floating castle with 100 floors, Ayn Grant. Each floor contains grasslands, forests, streets, and even towns, and players have to rely on their weapons to navigate these floors, find the stairs to the upper floors, and defeat the mighty guardian beasts to make their way to the top floor of the castle.
It boldly excludes magic, which has always been considered a necessary element in fantasy adventure online games, and replaces it with sword skills, which are set to be a near-infinite number of special moves. Officially, the reason for this is because they want players to use their bodies and fight with their own swords, so that players can experience the maximum charm of a completely stealth environment.
In addition to combat skills, there are also manufacturing skills such as smelting or leather craft, tailoring, and daily skills such as fishing, cooking, and music, so players can not only adventure in the vast area, but also [live] in it, as described in the text. According to personal wishes and efforts, you can also buy your own exclusive house in it, and then live a life of plowing the fields and herding sheep.
And the fact that there is no magic really hurts Theo. Theo is a man who fights by magic, and he is really unfamiliar with swordsmanship.
"It won't be very troublesome, you see, didn't Fei and Lixia do a good job." Zheng Shuanglong, who cut down the boar with a few swords, pointed to Fei and Lixia, who were cutting the boar and cutting the watermelon like a watermelon in a happy game, and said to Tiou with a smile.
Compared to Theo's discomfort with the weapon in his hand, well, very uncomfortable. Fei and Lixia adapted to this game quite quickly.,Although I'm not very familiar with swordsmanship or something.,Basically, it's not effective.,But,The efficiency of killing monsters is very high.,No less than Claire、Asada Shino, the two battle-hardened masters.,Even left Xili, the ship's mother, far away.。
Well, not to mention Xili, Xili is slightly better than Theo, and can simply fight against a boar, and he won't be bullied by a boar like Theo. This kind of performance is really not a very good performance for Xili, who has experienced a lot of battles, but after all, Xili is a ship girl who fights with heavy artillery and torpedoes, and it is understandable that he is not proficient in hand-to-hand combat. Probably so.
"Hmph...... Looking at the light and simple battle between Faye and Lixia, the almost artistic fighting skills, Theo turned his head to the side and snorted dissatisfiedly.
Although I envy Fei and Lixia for being able to do such a thing, however, the pride of the spellcaster does not allow Theo to admit defeat, and more importantly, this is in front of Zheng Shuanglong, if he simply admits defeat, doesn't it mean that he is not as good as Fei and Lixia, this is a war!!
"Alright, alright, come, I'll explain it again. Really, don't you read the commentary before playing the game? You guys~" Saying that, Zheng Shuanglong selected a boar, raised the sword in his hand gently, shrank his elbows back slightly, and his shoulders did move. After the system detects the initial movement of the sword technique, the sword in the hand begins to glow green.
Then, with a tap on the ground, his body moved quickly, and then drew a bright ray of light in the air, directly hitting the boar that was about to attack again. A sword stabbed him to death.
The health bar drops rapidly and reaches zero. After the boar let out this pitiful pre-death wail, its huge body shattered like glass. Zheng Shuanglong's face appeared in front of him, and the amount of experience gained displayed in purple font.
"Theo, do you see clearly, as long as you do make a move to activate the sword technique, then the system will let the skill hit the enemy. It's simple. Isn't it? Zheng Shuanglong, who had completed the teaching-like battle, waited for the stiffness caused by the sword technique to disappear, and turned his head to Dio with a smile.
Simple!? It is estimated that only Zheng will find it simple, Fei, Lixia, Claire, Shina, and Xili didn't master the sword skills after training for a while. Theo pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied.
However, Teo, who did not admit defeat at all, continued to repeat softly as if he were chanting a spell, while waving the short sword in his right hand briskly. "Action...... Action ......"
The boar, officially known as the "Manic Boar", is just a level 1 minion, with not high enough attack power and low defense, as long as you use sword skills to slash at the vital point, you can be killed with a single sword. It is estimated that this is to facilitate everyone's familiarity with the combat system, so that such a weak monster will be arranged in the town of start.
"How to put it, pause a little at the beginning of the movement and feel that the technique is ready before you pound! The ground was cut down with a thud. Well, that's it. Zheng Shuanglong, who once again used his sword skills to cut down a mountain boar, turned his head and smiled at Theo.
Zheng Shuanglong has a lot of care for Theo, after all, Theo and Fei are different, Fei, Lixia, Claire, Shina, and Xili can hack these monsters to death with a simple flat slash even if they can't use sword skills, they are experienced in a hundred battles, and their skills are amazing.
As for Theo, if he hadn't mastered the sword skills, with Tiou's hand-to-hand combat quality and combat quality, it was estimated that he wouldn't even be able to get out of the starting town. After all, Tio was only 9 years old. Although the petite figure is really cute and cute, it is too much inconvenient in battle. At least, many vital parts are really struggling with Theo's height. Moreover, a lot of weapons, Theo equipment is also a headache.
"Is that so?" Tio's cute little face that couldn't help but kiss showed an embarrassed expression. Then, raise the short sword in your hand flat, take a deep breath, and lower your center of gravity. This time, the system finally sensed the prescribed movement, and slowly drew an arc-shaped blade that glowed blue.
"Drink!" While letting out a cute cry, Tio kicked the ground with his left foot with a completely different smooth movement from before, and the sound of "Boom!" After a rather comfortable-sounding effect, the dagger made a blue mark in the air. With one hand, he used a short sword to hit the boar's neck beautifully, destroying half of the boar's HP.
Then, he was overturned by the angry boar. The base damage of the short sword really can't hurt. It is also a novice sword, Zheng Shuanglong can hack him to death with one fencing skill, while Theo's short sword requires at least two sword skills. Even if Zheng Shuanglong is cut in the vital part, it is really incomparable.
A simple sword wiped out half of the boar's remaining HP. Zheng Shuanglong smiled at Tiou and said, "It's very good, it's successful, Tiou-chan~"
"Isn't that a matter of course?" Tio reached out and made a V gesture of victory, then happily raised his left hand high. He high-fived Zheng Shuanglong and celebrated.
"The amplitude of the shot, the movement of the footsteps, the shaking of the body, and the aiming position of the sword technique, as well as the control of the stiff time of the sword technique, study hard, Tio-chan, this can be regarded as a kind of training to make up for your lack of melee combat." Zheng Shuanglong, who celebrated the success of Tiou's first use of sword skills, said with a smile: "Remember the feeling when you just used your sword skills, this kind of refreshing feeling of crushing the enemy with it is not something that magic can experience~!" ”
"Hmm!" Nodding happily, Theo began to familiarize himself with the sword technique in earnest, repeating the same sword technique over and over again. When it comes to playing games, Theo doesn't want to lose to Fiya and Lixia, even if it's a virtual reality massive online role-playing game that uses pure sword skills.
There is no lightness of Fei, that kind of mastery of the double edge. There is no such skill as Lixia, the skill of slaying the Demon Blade, but Theo doesn't think that he will lose to them in this game, as long as he studies the system clearly, he must be fine.
Watching Tio earnestly learning swordsmanship, watching Fei, Lixia, Claire, Shino Aada, and Yuri working hard to bully the little monster, well, it's a boar. Zheng Shuanglong sat directly on the prairie and looked around happily.
The vast grasslands that spread in all directions shone in the sunlight that began to blush slightly. In the far north, the outline of a forest emerges, and in the south there is a glittering lake. To the east, you can see a little of the town's walls, while to the west you can see the endless sky and clouds dyed gold.
This is the starting point of the southern end of the first floor of the huge floating castle [Irongrant], and the wide area on the west side of the [Beginning Town]. is where the game first begins.
Looking at this illusory imaginary world, this almost real world, even Zheng Shuanglong couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a great game~!" (To be continued.) )
