In 2025, SwordArtOnline, a large-scale virtual reality online role-playing game developed by Arcas, will enter the closed beta stage.

However, this has little to do with Ling Yi, he is facing trouble.

Like the last trial, he once again replaced someone's existence, and at the same time obtained the memories of the original owner from the system, but what surprised him the most was the task released by the system.

Is it a system developed with the input of hundreds of first-class players? Although Ling Yi thought of a way to take advantage of the time difference, it was relative, because of his mixed and unrefined relationship, the gains from the last trial had not been fully digested, so the purpose of this trial was basically to help him solve this hidden danger.

There are only two tasks that the system publishes.

The first task content is: In the closed beta stage of Sword Art Online, Ling Yi must make full use of the effect of [Breath Blocking A+] to assassinate more than 100 people. If you fail, you will permanently lose the [Breath Blocking A+] skill. (Also: the success of the assassination is judged by the system.) ）

There is nothing suspicious about this task, whether the difficulty is high or not, whether it is low or not, it is just to exercise Ling Yi's skill proficiency.

But when Ling Yi noticed Zuihou's words, he didn't think so.

The success criterion is evaluated by the system, which does not mean that after assassinating a person, it depends on whether the system recognizes it or not. If it doesn't approve of it, then this time it's tantamount to doing it for nothing.

In order to avoid this situation, Ling Yi felt that it was better to ask a little more in advance.

"System Elf, how can an assassination be considered a success?"

In the spacious and comfortable single room, Ling Yi sat on the bed and muttered.

The system wizard was quick to give the answer.

"The criteria for judging success are determined by three factors, the first is the 'degree of camouflage', the second is 'time', and the third is the 'success rate'."

"I see." Ling Yiruo nodded and muttered in a low voice: "Camouflage is a skill that assassins must master, so the meaning of time refers to efficiency?" If you do this, a single failure may alert the target. In other words, the purpose of this mission is not so much to equip me with skills as it is to train my assassination jishu. ”

"It's great that the host understands so quickly. I don't believe in any luck, but if the host gets the system, maybe it's my luck. The system elf seemed to be quite happy, and praised Ling Yi without hesitation.

"I'll take your compliment first, but can you tell me what this second mission means? Forgive me for being stupid, I don't see how such a task would help my skills. Ling Yi said helplessly.

The second task issued by the system to him is: to conquer Ein Grant, clear the 99th floor, and complete the most difficult strategy in history. If you fail, you will permanently lose all of your skills from the previous Trial. Relatively speaking, the host can use all means in the boss raid battle, including the gains from the last trial.

In other words, even if you summon the sea demon and the boss to fight head-on, right?

If this is the case, isn't it equivalent to giving Ling Yi a means of cheating? No matter what boss you face, as long as you summon Cthulhu's dependents, it's good to crush them with crowd tactics.

That's basically no jishu content, and it doesn't play a role in proficiency at all.

The Moon Spirit Essence and the Knight don't die with their bare hands or anything, so they don't need it at all.

How could the system fail so much?

Deliberately?

"Don't talk so early just yet. The host has not officially touched the game Sword Art Online, and after the host has been contacted, he must be able to understand the true difficulty of this task. The system elf said slowly, completely in an expected tone.

Hearing this, Ling Yi raised his eyebrows, and a little anticipation surged in his heart.

Although he came for the paper, he didn't mind trying it out if there was a challenge that piqued his interest.

However, at this moment, the system elf said something intentionally or unintentionally, causing the smile on Ling Yi's face to freeze instantly.

"It seems that the host hasn't been qualified for the closed beta yet, so it won't be able to participate in the closed beta."

Not only can't participate, but even the basic conditions for completing the first task are not met, and it can be said that not being able to get the qualification for the closed beta is equivalent to declaring the mission a failure, and then you will lose the skill of [Breath Blocking A+].

This skill was a trophy that Ling Yi had taken from the Assassin, and thanks to this skill, he was not discovered by the Conquest King and Saber who were in battle when he infiltrated Einzbelen Castle. Later, he used this skill to unknowingly appear in front of Emiya Kiritsugu, and used Karna to coerce him into admitting defeat.

The biggest weapon of the Assassin class is this [Breath Block]. When he activates this ability, he is able to 'completely' obscure the breath. It is impossible to perceive this, even for the Servant.

Through it, Hassan, as an Assassin, can act as a flawless spy. No matter what kind of guard system is implemented, it is meaningless in front of Hassan, and if it is pure combat ability, it is dwarfed by other servants.

But it's another thing to use aura blocking and wait for the chance to kill with one hit. Even if you can't defeat it at the beginning, you just need to use your breath to block your hidden body again and continue to wait for the opportunity.

However, this ability also has a weakness, and once you attack yourself, the level of this aura block will be greatly reduced. However, if it is a mortal, he will not feel the murderous aura and will be sent to Huangquan.

It's just that Hassan is the servant of the opponent. For example, if you have Artoria's "intuition", you can be keenly aware of the changes in your breath and respond to them. So this skill is not a panacea.

But where did the reality shijie come from?

Even if there are some people with special abilities, it is absolutely impossible to have a more powerful hidden ability than [Breath Blocking A+]. Therefore, this skill was very important to Ling Yi, otherwise he would not have given up Hassan's peerless skill as an assassin and chose [Breath Blocking A+].

Thinking that he might lose this skill, Ling Yina still had the leisure to look forward to the future, and immediately opened the computer in the room to search for news related to the closed beta qualification, no matter what, he had to get a closed beta qualification.
