Additional potential points consumed: 20,000
3. Supporting roles

4. Closed beta players

Additional potential points consumed: 20-500
5. Random

The information on the panel was not complicated, and Nobuhiko read it quickly.
What really surprised him was that the identity selection could be directly assigned to a specific character.
You can directly choose to be the male protagonist or the female protagonist.
However, as far as he knew, there was no extraordinary power in the world of Sword Art Online.
The character in the game is just a set of data, can it be useful to him?
[Dream potential: 3366]
Looking at his remaining potential points, Nobuhiko began to think about how to choose.
The male and female protagonists both wanted 20,000 points, and the game administrator wanted 30,000 points, but Nobuhiko didn't even consider it.
Even if he has so many potential points, he will only go to the totem world to gain greater benefits.
"Supporting characters also need 3,000 points to start, so give up!"
Although he can afford 3,000 points, Nobuhiko will not put all his money on it.
The final evaluation is related to the difficulty of the world and what you do in it.
Although I know the plot, there are bug characters like Kayaba Akihiko in it. Except for the male and female protagonists, everyone else basically wins.
After eliminating the four options, Nobuhiko could only choose random and closed beta players.
He didn't like gambling, so he decided to play closed beta.
And, he was ready to start projecting immediately.
"About four months have passed since the last time a new world appeared. There is not much difference from the previous time."
"According to past experience, if you don't start dream projection, the new world will not be refreshed."
"This time, two new worlds appear at once. I don't know whether they are refreshed together or individually. This... is very important!"
Each projection world has infinite possibilities, but there are only so many potential points, and sometimes you have to make a choice.
In a high-difficulty world like Totem World, you can gain greater benefits, but it is also more difficult.
In a world like Sword Art Online where you can win without hesitation, the difficulty is low, and obviously the benefits you can gain will not be too great.
So Nobuhiko wanted to earn some potential points from the Sword Art Online world.
At the same time, it is more important to confirm Nobuhiko's guess.
It would be in his best interest if the world were refreshed individually.
Otherwise, he might have to bear the pain of refreshing the projector opportunity in the totem world.
He currently only has more than 3,000 potential points, and if you want to have the talent of a silver lantern master in the totem world, you need a minimum of 10,000 points, which is not safe enough.
Even if he waits until the Third Ninja War breaks out from now on, if he doesn't perform new dream projections and just relies on the natural growth of points and the growth of dreams, he will be able to accumulate another two thousand points in three or four years.
It simply cannot meet the projection needs of high-level worlds.
Sometimes the choice of opening is very important.
The last time I obtained Kaguya's chakra, my choice of identity was also an important factor.
And after three projections, except for Kaguya's time, Nobuhiko felt that his luck was really bad and he didn't want to gamble.
In order to enhance combat power, it is easier to obtain a high rating in a world with lower initial identity requirements.
A world where it is easy to obtain huge benefits is his first choice.
At this stage, what suits him is the best!
"No matter what, the key point is to refresh the Sword Art Online world first and test whether the next world will appear."
Thinking of this, Nobuhiko returned home directly and began to recall the plot he knew.
Then write on the combed side of the paper, then tear it into tiny pieces and flush it down the toilet.
Immediately afterwards, he lay down on the bed and focused his attention on the attribute panel again.
[Do you want to spend 30 points of potential to start dream projection? 】
"yes!"
[Identity selection...]
[A total of 50 points of dream potential are consumed]
【Projection starts...】
As the last line of information appeared, Nobuhiko fell into a deep sleep.
...
[Projection completed]
Background introduction: In 2022, the electronic machinery manufacturer "ARGUS" developed the "NERvGear" (a machine worn on the head), which can control human brain nerves to connect to the virtual world. Human beings have finally realized a complete virtual reality.
As one of the players in the VRMMORPG (virtual massive online role-playing game) "Sword Art Online <SAO>":
When Kirito and 10,000 other players had just logged in to enjoy the game, the game administrator announced a horrifying news to everyone──
That is, the only way to log out of this game now is to clear the game, and in this game, GAME OVER means "death" in the real world.
Kirito could only accept this fact earlier than other players in this chaotic situation, and plunged into a battle with no end in sight.
As a closed beta player, you have the advantage of being a prophet and can get started faster.
...
Nobuhiko felt as if his eyes were in a trance, and his whole consciousness seemed to have traveled through a space channel.
My body felt an inexplicable weightlessness.
Then suddenly everything went dark.
"Huh? What's going on?!"
Nobuhiko opened his eyes again and found that his consciousness had returned to his room.
[Dream projection ends! 】
[Projection World: Sword Art Online]
[Timeline: The day of the SAO game public beta]
[Projection character: Internal beta player (Nobuhiko)]
[Projected race: human race]
[Projection status: brain dead]
【Start settlement...】
【...】

[Comprehensive evaluation: None]
[Dream potential: 3316]
'Oh my god! ! ! '
Nobuhiko checked the character's death method through his memories, and was stunned.
"He died from unplugging the network cable..."
In the Sword Art Online game, if the virtual helmet worn by the player is powered off or disconnected from the Internet before clearing the level, or if the helmet is forced to be removed, the built-in battery inside will burn out the player's brain.
Unfortunately, Nobuhiko became one of them.
"My luck...does it conflict with dungeons other than Hokage?"
Nobuhiko felt unable to complain.
But...it doesn't matter.
It's just a waste of 50 points. Now it depends on whether the new world can be refreshed in a few months.
