The second floor of Ayn Grant is not much smaller than the first.

Outside the main city of Ulbas here is a huge savanna, which is slightly hotter than the first layer of the grassland, and there are a large number of continuous low table-shaped rocky flat-topped mountains, combined with the caves and underground structures all over the place, creating a simple and empty surface, but the actual complex and abnormal terrain.

Of course, the first thing to explore is the surface world.

A giant wasp more than half a meter in size rushed towards Shino at high speed, and the stabbing with paralyzing properties was quite tricky for solo players.

But Shino is not an ordinary player on the surface, her footwork and shots are extremely rhythmic, even if she does not use sword skills, she is safer and does considerable damage under normal attacks that hit weak points with each sword, and her opponent fell to the ground in less than a minute of fighting.

No bee stings dropped......

The [Vespa Poison Needle], which was not a rare drop, was much lower than she imagined, at least the more than forty wasps she had defeated with her own hands had only dropped one poison needle.

The good news is that wasps are so abundant that a large number of wasp colonies can be found on the western grasslands by walking some distance away from the obvious road.

The Poison Needle is a weapon enhancement material that takes into account both "sharpness" and "accuracy", and basically all weapons will be used to some extent, and the overall consumption is extremely large. So even if the monster is disgusting - it can fly and paralyze, sooner or later players will have to settle down and brush it themselves.

Probably except for me, Shino muttered to herself.

She jumped lightly onto a rock and looked at the hell fifty meters away.

It was a huge colony of wasps, and a large number of insects were crowded together, making people feel physically uncomfortable. At such a close distance, Shino dared to appear near these active attack monsters, mainly because these wasps were squirming on the ground.

Vespa swarms covered the ground, they trembled on the ground, and near the health bar, there were effects of [Paralysis] and [Poison], and there were constant damage numbers popping up.

As the experience bar visibly rushed forward, the golden light on Shino's body flashed, and she officially reached the unimaginable fifteenth level, and just two days ago, she had just stepped on the second layer of land, and at that time she was only a little more than eight levels.

Shi Nai moved his gaze to Wang Shui, who was lying on the ground in the state of a dead corpse not far ahead, and his mood was a little complicated. She couldn't understand why there was a weapon of mass destruction against insects in a role-playing game with such an important level.

She also couldn't understand why this guy had so much stock, but she knew that if the secret of this leveling was revealed, it would be difficult to recover the stock of honey.

The word selfishness popped up in her mind, but it disappeared in a flash, and poetry had no reason to be selfless.

If the information is made public, the production of honey will definitely be diluted by a large number of players, and in fact, this leveling efficiency will be diluted to tens of thousands of players, and it will become a trivial thing.

And selflessness, Shi Nai has no experience, she has always been poor and plundered.

When the mind wanders, this round of monster farming is coming to an end, and the giant wasp belongs to the agile and high-attack type of monsters, and the blood volume can't even withstand two rounds of toxins. Wang Shui's [Flying Sword] skill has also become superb, and he can now air explode the reagent bottle to achieve the effect of honey rain, and can spread the medicine to the maximum extent to make the most of this monster farming artifact.

The corpses of the wasps covered the field of vision, and Shino flipped through the drops that she had rubbed because she was a member of the squad, and this wave of monsters, just the natural drops contributed 5 poison needles to her.

Shino forcibly endured the discomfort of the insect corpse swarm and approached Shui Wang, and gently kicked Shui Wang's head with a calfskin boot.

"What are you doing again, hurry up and collect it."

In the face of Xiao Shinai's ruthless urging, Wang Shui, who had lifted the effect of the [Concealment] skill under the [Concealment] skill tree, was still lying on the grass, and he replied lazily:

"Ah, I'm so tired, so anxious, so sad. What should I do if I don't want to work for more than 20 days a month~"

What kind of social animal to speak, Shi Nai felt a little funny, but she couldn't say anything tougher, after all, the work of dismembering insect corpses, she just looked at the scalp and made her scalp numb, and the boy of the same age under her feet had already processed thousands in the past two days.

Therefore, the number of wasps is really terrifying, much more than the main bull monsters in the second layer, and the refresh speed is also extremely fast.

Shi Nai had no choice but to play tricks on Wang Shui, who didn't want to work, and he didn't have the heart to brush the scattered monsters, so he simply sat next to Wang Shui with his back to the insect corpse group, waiting for him to recover his spirits.

"Shina, I feel like I'm a failure." Wang Shui, who was lying on the ground, spoke in a very low tone.

The Shino next to him didn't know what illness he was guilty of, so he could only use his face to bear the breeze on the grassland, waiting for him to talk with a slight smile.

"Although I entered this world with the mentality of escaping and messing around, I was always a little unwilling, and I always wondered if I could become stronger."

Wang Shui's chatter is obviously different from what Shi Nai understood, and Shi Nai thought he was talking about the world of SAO.

"With your skill and level, this isn't a mess, is it? As long as you want, you are the main force of the Raiders group. ”

Wang Shui was silent for a while before continuing:

"I'm just, I just feel like I'm doing useless work, no matter how strong I am in SAO, I am still an ordinary and cowardly me when I return to reality. Detached from reality, I probably won't change much. This wasted time in years makes me very anxious. ”

Shi Nai subconsciously thought of her studies and social life, and she thought that Wang Shui was worried that she would stay in this world for too long, and after returning to society, she would become a useless person, so that her life would be difficult.

"It's hard to persuade you, I'm also trapped in this world, but I don't have this feeling of waste...... In fact, in the past month, I have not only gotten used to life and fighting, but I have also fallen in love with it. Shino's answer was natural.

There is no real-life social hell here, no one knows Shina's past, and no one can threaten and bully her anymore.

"I'm sorry, I can't understand your anxiety, I'm already enjoying this slow-paced life now...... My contradiction is probably that I want to get rid of the control of the death game and live in this kind of fairy tale world where you only need to fight. ”

A world that only needs to fight, it's not a beautiful fairy tale.

The core area of the system of the infinite world is forever full of traces of war, and Wang Shui will receive the news of the death of familiar people every day for half a year, and then continue to know more people every day.

Wang Shui came here to escape from labor, hid in a long fantasy world, and then became anxious about his inability to become stronger, and this contradictory greed made Wang Shui himself feel hypocritical.

So he rolled over.

"Are you better? It should be better to say it, right? I don't know much about psychology though. Shino smiled.

"No, I still want to bully others to deflect the pressure."

"Oh? Who are you going to bully? Shino glared at Wang Shui with a lovely glare.

Wang Shui asked with some seriousness, "Are you sure you won't be nauseous and vomit because of the firearm?" ”

Shina's heart suddenly sudden, and then she nodded seriously and expectantly.

Wang Shui turned around and tossed upside down, and when he turned around, he handed Shi Nai something wrapped in black cotton cloth that was two circles larger than the palm of his hand.

Facing the black cloth was Shina's trembling hand, and after she touched the solid shape through the black cloth, she only felt her blood surging, and her spirit was shocked and then a little flustered.

Wang Shui handed the thing to Shi Nai, but he didn't let go, this was what Shi Nai casually asked him to do after watching him play with wood carving, and he was still worried that Shi Nai would have some accidents due to mood swings.

The answer to Wang Shui was Shi Nai's excited ice blue gaze, and Wang Shui let go.

The black cloth slowly slipped down, Shiina's slender fingers gripped the unfamiliar and familiar grip hard, and the real feedback on the visual and tactile senses made her feel that her brain was clear, her breathing became smoother, her thinking became agile, and even her body was much more relaxed and flexible.

It seems to be an adrenaline-influenced super sensory experience, which is completely different from the symptoms of PTSD!

Shino looked excitedly at Wang Shui, who was a little worried, and then pounced.

This level of hugging didn't make Wang Shui feel anything wonderful, he only felt that he had been hit by the mud truck again. In fact, Shina, who has a very high strength value, did press Wang Shui on the grass and slide out a long way.

There was a happy sobbing sound in his ears, and Wang Shui first patted Shi Nai's head, and then jerked her away.

Tsk, I actually dared to sneak attack, if I hadn't reacted half a beat slower, I would have rewarded her with an over-the-shoulder fall!

Looking at Shi Nai, who was holding a woodcarved pistol on the grass and crying with joy, Wang Shui really couldn't understand the feelings of this little girl who had been tortured by mental illness for several years, but he understood that mental torture was no worse than physical pain.

"Okay, it's just a wood carving, that's enough?"

While creatively comforting people with mockery, Wang Shui threw another small object to Shina.

"It's ...... Paper shell fixed ammunition?! You've made real guns! ”

Shino is very active in fighting mental illness, and if you want to defeat the enemy, you have to understand it and get used to it, although she will react to the pictures of firearms at first, but slowly she still adapts to the pictures and words, and then mastered a lot of firearms knowledge.

That's why she believes she can overcome her psychological problems.

"It's a no-brainer, it's just a prototype that lacks a lot of detail, and I just want to see how the system judges this kind of thing. After a few days of experiments, I found that simply by putting the materials together manually, the system will not even treat it as an item, it can ignite, it can be fired when stuck in a thin tube, but the damage to monsters is extremely low, similar to throwing stones without the [Flying Sword] skill. ”

Shino nodded in understanding.

"After that, I mastered the [handmade] skills." Wang Shui slowed down this time, as if organizing the language.

"Wait, is that the hidden skill that can amplify all life skills in the information that has just been released?"

"That's right, and this information is what I discovered, earning 2000 kels, and it was Argo's guy who made this information public for free for artisan players." Wang Shui gave a thumbs up to indicate that he had earned it.

"So the experiment you're talking about is ......" Shino probably guessed.

"That's right, the [handmade] skill, you can take the initiative to apply to the system to identify the handmade product, the system will be verified by the physical engine will give the attribute, if the craftsman feels that the attribute description is not right, you can also apply for only one deviation adjustment, and then you can record the production recipe to the [handmade] skill."

Wang Shui said and took out another bullet with the same paper shell and threw it to Shinai, who found that the first bullet had no attributes at all, like a weed that was broken by hand, but the second bullet with the same appearance had a small white dot that could be opened.

Shi Nai's gaze seemed to penetrate Wang Shui's brain, and Wang Shui returned a disdainful gaze.

"What's exciting, even if you know the development trend of fixed ammunition, many technical problems are difficult to solve, this thing only has a propellant, not even a roll paper fire cap, it is still a flintlock pistol, and the firearm has not yet been made, and there are many problems to explode."

"Is this what you don't hesitate to waste a skill grid to master [handmade], and you also stop martial arts research?"

Shi Nai said that she didn't understand, the Wang Shui she knew was a person with a bad personality but a strong purpose, and he was shallow about things that had no interests but were only interested.

"There's a secret I need you to keep for me." Wang Shui's expression was serious, and he pressed Shi Nai's head with his right hand.

"If it's a secret, you don't have to tell me......" Shino held a woodcarved pistol in both hands, and didn't have the ability to set aside Wang Shui's reckless move, probably.

"And then you think all day long? Well, you'll see me learn and use a wide variety of skills later, don't be surprised, I have a special piece of equipment that allows me to master a few more skills and can change them at any time. ”

Shino was surprised and asked in surprise, "There are no requirements or negative effects?" Ah sorry, it's enough to know the front. ”

"Of course, there are requirements, it's just more troublesome to master skills, and people's energy is limited, but if you master a lot of low-proficiency skills, you can't call it very strong."

"No, it's already very strong, and if you can master all the combat support skills, the bonus from those passive effects is still considerable."

Wang Shui smiled and rubbed Shi Nai's hair, took her hand away before she got angry, and replied:

"Of course, I will master it in the future, but now I am more interested in handicraft, and if the combat power is not enough, I will talk about it when it is not enough."

"So you gave up studying martial arts?" Shino went around and came back.

"Of course - no, it's just that I'm temporarily out of interest now, and I'm sick. The study of martial arts is temporarily stuck, and martial arts itself requires long-term grinding work, and it needs to be integrated into daily life and exercise to slowly improve, and it is very boring to chew words all the time. ”

Wang Shui is quite familiar with his impulsive interest learning habits, and since his interests have shifted, forcing himself to do things he doesn't want to do will only increase his troubles, and the output is also very inefficient.

Shino seemed to understand, then put away the woodcarved pistol and said:

"So, I feel like you're in a much better mood, are you ready to work? The high price of Vespa Poison Needles should continue for a while, are you really willing to refresh these corpses? ”

Wang Shui's eyes turned black and he fell back into the grass and activated the [Fake Death] skill.
