Makino specially left a warning in the guide that the closed beta test is different from the official game, and it is mainly aimed at the closed beta test players.

Of the 2,000 people who died in the first month, many were closed beta players.

Relying on their experience during the beta test, many people made the same choice as Kirito, advancing quickly and monopolizing upgrade resources.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this choice. The current Makino and Kirito do it.

But, unfortunately, they are not the protagonists.

Compared with Kirito, a big guy who has no blood and can't play, his luck is even worse.

I don't know how many beta testers are directly planted in the information they trust.

This is more typical, in the first floor of the boss Raiders battle.

The blue-haired knight "Diabel" was too superstitious and got the information during the beta test, trying to monopolize the dropped props, and then was directly dropped by the big boss on the first floor.

For the information given by Makino, Kirito also became vigilant for the first time.

Today, Kirito has a lot of trust in Makino.

And Muye's "God Prediction" was soon verified.

In the third town, Makino and Kirito took on a mission called "The Kobold Candle".

The kobolds here are all cave creatures.

In the setting, the civilization level is very primitive, but very good at mining.

For the candles that can light the mine, it is very heavy.

Anyone who dares to touch the kobold's candle will instantly detonate all the kobolds in the mine, and then be attacked by the kobold tribe.

Therefore, the key to this level is - until the kobolds are completely eliminated, the candles of the kobolds must not be touched.

Otherwise, the kobolds will go berserk and their combat power will soar.

For this information, Kirito believes that it is abnormal.

Then, when the two of them broke into the mine, they also strictly followed this principle.

However, the mechanism of the Kobold outbreak changed immediately.

As long as the candle in the kobold mine is still lit, the kobold's combat power and recovery have improved by more than one level.

Especially the last kobold chief, that really tossed both Makino and Kirito.

If it weren't for the war, Kirito clearly told Muye that the game mechanism changed, and Muye decided to fight to the death and extinguish the candle directly, I am afraid it would be even more difficult.

After the war, even Makino's HP was reduced to one-fifth.

This battle can be said to be the most difficult battle the two have encountered since the beginning of the game.

Almost all have come to the brink of death!

You know, Makino and Kirito are not ordinary people.

Makino's fighting consciousness and Kirito's game literacy are all bug-level.

Both of them are so difficult, and other beta test players come here rashly, and they will all be destroyed if they don't.

Intelligence is not allowed to kill people, this sentence is not just talking.

From this, you can also taste some bad tastes of Kayaba Akihiko!

He must have deliberately used this method to reduce the first-mover advantage of the beta testers.

This kind of thrilling battle is very rare for Makino.

Since Makino debuted, most of the battles he has gone through have been crushing games.

This also gave Muye a clearer understanding of this "regularization" exam.

Of course.

Reward and risk are also directly proportional!

After realizing the first brush of the kobold copy, Muye got a piece of kobold gold with the size of his head, and after converting it into Cole, he became rich overnight.

It is this copy that has the capital to change another piece of equipment.

And Kirito, even from the kobold chief, obtained an additional skill of [Searching for Enemies].

This is very useful in the early stage.

Time passed by, and the growth of Makino and Kirito was also very gratifying.

Because it is an exclusive resource, it is getting stronger almost every moment.

The only downside is - the food is so bad.

The food provided on the first floor is actually quite a variety.

but.

Nowadays, every kohl is extremely precious, and who would be willing to spend kohl on food?

This has also resulted in the fact that the staple food is almost always the cheapest bread, and as for the taste...it's hard to say!

It's okay to eat it occasionally. After eating for a few days in a row, even Makino would doubt his life.

But there is really no money left!

Makino also thought about getting a cooking sub-profession.

However, the current level is still too low to meet the conditions for opening a sub-professional.

Even if it is opened, presumably at this time, no one is in the mood to spend money on food.

Nowadays, everyone wants to hit a hundred floors quickly and escape the game of SAO.

Of course.

This situation will change completely after half a year or a year.

For example, on the first floor, Asuna said to Kirito—I didn’t come to this town to eat delicious food.

Then, two years later, Asuna perfected her cooking skills.

In this regard, what Muye wants to say is that the law of the true fragrance of the Great God Jingze, which is really put into the heavens and the world, is a famous saying.

However, with the windfall of dog head gold, Muye's staple food can also be slightly changed.

If you can only eat instant noodles before, now you can add sausages in luxury.

There are many types of bread.

In the fourth town, Makino and Kirito first encountered a bakery.

Although the bread baked in the bakery is still very dry and hard, the taste has not only improved by a grade.

When I learned from Kirito's mouth, this town was able to receive a task called "Cow of Counterattack".

Makino's eyes suddenly lit up!

Then, in the playground outside the town, the screams of cows could be heard no matter it was day or night.

Is this a distortion of human nature, or a loss of morality... ahem!

After eating the cream bread, Makino felt that his whole life had a head start.

I'm so happy every day!

In this regard, Kirito was a little speechless.

He had no idea that Muye was still such a foodie.

It used to be difficult for the sea, if Kirito knew, Makino's standard of living before entering the world of swords, maybe he would not have such a feeling.

In the world of Ghost Slayer, Death God, and Pirates, Makino is a strong man standing at the top of the world.

In terms of enjoyment alone, perhaps not even the king can match.

Eating hard and dry bread every day is naturally unbearable.

time flies.

When Makino and Kirito single-handedly defeated the fifth and sixth town bosses, both Makino and Kirito successfully upgraded to level 10.

In terms of sword skills, Makino has [Vertical Slash], [Horizontal Slash], and [Heavy Slash].

Not only that, Makino even learned the skill of double fencing—the pendulum, and he was able to hit two combos in an instant.

This is completely different from Kirito's well-known big move, the starburst air slash that can instantly cut out 16 consecutive hits.

but.

You know ~lightnovelpub.net~ This is the first floor of Aincrad.

It is quite rare to be able to get a two-hit combo.

However, after upgrading to level 10, both of them clearly felt that the acquisition of gold coins and experience decreased.

The upgrade of the level also obviously encountered a bottleneck.

This, Kirito knows very well.

To put it simply, the levels of Makino and Kirito have reached the upper limit of the first floor of Aincrad.

Ordinary mobs, even small bosses, have little effect on the leveling up of two people.

If you want to get a big increase in level, you can only fight the final big boss on the first floor.

to this.

Neither Makino nor Kirito had any impulses!

The floor master wants to defeat, but it is not so easy.

then.

The two returned to the fourth floor, ready to fight the cows to the end.

Who makes the cream they produce so delicious?

As a result, those cows couldn't counterattack, and the screams kept ringing.

After staying in the fourth town for a long time, Makino and Kirito met more and more players.

Unlike Makino, those players seem...too depressed!

At this moment, the players who can successfully reach the fourth town should be regarded as elite players with adventurous spirit.

However, in these players, the two even felt "death".

That's pretty scary!

When the two knew that thousands of players had died, both of them were stunned at the same time.

You know, starting from the second town, Makino and Kirito will leave a guide for almost every town they have completed.

Even so, thousands of people died

horrible!

cruel!
