"Okay, I can accept your apology, so you can go out of the city with me now."
Wu Ke said directly.
"Eh?"
Usagi Fukasumi was in a daze and was taken out of the safe area of the town.
"Are you ready?"
Wu Ke didn't talk nonsense and directly controlled the game character to take out his rapier and asked.
"What are you ready for?"
Opposite him, Usagi Fukasumi was a little unresponsive.
"Didn't you say that you would let me slash and scold you later?
I'm not good at cursing people, but I'm still good at cutting people.
And since your act of abandonment in times of crisis almost killed me, then now I want to take your life in return, isn’t that too much? "
He gestured with his rapier. Wu Ke had rarely used this type of weapon.
"Ah, this..."
Usagi Fukasumi was shocked, feeling that the friend in front of him was really strange.
"Why, do you think that just by kneeling down and apologizing, you can get rid of the incident that almost killed me?
Or maybe what you said just now, that you will not complain even if you are scolded, is actually all bullshit and you just want to kidnap me morally? "
The girl in the game character raised her eyebrows, and she sneered while holding a long sword, but she looked mean.
"I……"
"You what?"
"No, it's nothing."
Usagi Fukasumi smiled bitterly and watched the sword-wielding girl approach.
"I'm going to chop it off."
"Don't worry, I won't hide."
Several rays of sword light flashed through, and Tuzawa Shencheng endured the pain and only let out a few muffled groans.
The girl holding the sword, the player logo above her head changes from green to yellow.
In the SAO game, this means actively attacking other players.
"You are going to be hacked to death by me, what else do you want to say?"
Wu Ke controlled the game character and asked the other party.
"I'm sorry, Asuna, I also hate myself for abandoning my friends. If this can relieve your hatred, I am willing to accept it..."
Usasawa Fukasumi, whose health had bottomed out and turned red, and who would die if he took one more damage from the sword, closed his eyes in fear as he spoke.
Amid the fear, she felt unexpectedly relaxed, relieved of the psychological burden of thinking that she had killed her friends these days.
Usagi Fukasumi closed her eyes and waited for her punishment to come. However, the last sword did not come. Instead, a long and hard object was inserted into her mouth, and some liquid was poured into her mouth. .
Gudong, gudong. When she swallowed a few mouthfuls and opened her eyes, she found that the blood on the top of her head was rapidly changing from red to yellow to green.
"Asuna?"
Usagi Fukasumi was a little confused and looked at his friend in front of him.
"Your friend, she is fine. She has now left the game world and returned to the real world. Moreover, she does not remember you abandoning her."
Wu Ke replied.
Seeing that the girl looked a little confused and didn't seem to understand, Wu Ke explained Asuna's (fake) situation to the other party, and also explained the identity of the official rescuers just given to other players. .
"So, you are not Asuna, but just someone else who logged into the game with Asuna's account?"
"That's right."
Usagi Fukasumi's expression kept changing, and finally his expression settled on anger.
"Then why do you, you guy, hit me with a sword?"
Usagi Fukasumi shouted that she was sorry for Asuna and not anyone else.
"Your shovel-style apology is very silky. I feel sorry for not cooperating with you for your too silky apology.
Of course, there is also the idea that I want to test your true character. Here, I would like to solemnly apologize to you. "
Wu Ke solemnly bowed his head and apologized to the girl, and then continued: "I am very pleased with what I found out. At least you are really feeling guilty for abandoning your friends because of yourself. Usagi Fukasumi, you are a Good boy."
"Don't you think that if you say this, I will forgive you for using my friend's account to kill me with a sword?"
"Come and help, the rescue team of this game needs responsible people like you!"
"No, did you listen to me?"
"When you get back to reality, whether you want to hit me, scold me, or chop me with a knife, it's up to you.
I have absolutely no complaints.
But in this game, I hope you can come to my aid and help other trapped players. "
The mean attitude has long been gone. The game character controlled by Wu Ke and the sincere expression on the girl's face are really lethal.
"Can you promise me?"
He controlled the game character to move closer and asked.
"No, don't act like my friend, it's a bit too foul..."
Usagi Fukasumi was forced to take two steps back, but her face turned red because Asuna in the game came closer.
"May I?"
Wu Ke asked again.
“Okay, but I will also remember your words.
When I return to reality, I will definitely report back what happened here. "
Usagi Fukasumi couldn't bear it, but he said this.
"Okay, that's totally OK."
Wu Ke agreed wholeheartedly. In reality, let alone being chopped by the opponent with a knife, even if he handed the opponent a rocket launcher and let it hit his face, it would be no problem.
"So, without further ado, I'm going to start leveling up quickly in this game. I heard that you are a great closed beta player. I guess you know some good leveling places, right?"
"Uh, I know."
"Tell me the specific information, or you can take me there directly..."
. . . .
The time in the outside world quickly passed from noon to dusk.
The time in the game is also synchronized with the external reality.
"It's almost night. The wild monsters at night are more ferocious than the wild monsters during the day, and the experience will not increase. Do you want to continue to brush?"
Usagi Fukasumi asked.
They were in a forest, and there was a wild monster called a wild monkey nearby.
This kind of wild monster can jump on trees and use tree fruits for long-range attacks.
In the first level of the SAO game, it is a very difficult monster.
Although it provides a lot of experience, few closed beta players would come up with the idea of playing this kind of wild monster.
Thanks to this, Wu Ke raised his character's level to Lv18 in just one afternoon.
"Stop for a moment. I have to go back and change weapons. Weapons like gloves and armor, that are more suitable for me."
After using the rapier all afternoon, Wu Ke was really not comfortable with it.
And using punches and kicks to spawn monsters will cause too much damage.
Although it can kill wild monsters, it is not as efficient as spawning monsters.
After returning to the town in the game and selling the materials that were released from monster spawning this afternoon in the NPC shop, Wu Ke was skillfully taken to the place where he could obtain weapons by Usagi Fumizumi.
“Although there are weapons for sale in the NPC shop, they are all swords, guns, swords, halberds and shields of the most common quality and type.
As for the glove-type weapon you want, you have to find a professional player to customize it, or trade it with a player who has discovered such a special weapon..."
In the town, a somewhat dark alley is now a place where closed beta players set up stalls and exchange information.
"When I was in the closed beta of the game, I met a life player who is a full-time blacksmith and cobbler. I just sent a message to inquire. She does have the ability to make glove weapons. We just need to buy some crafting equipment here. s material……"
In the SAO game, if you want to have better weapons, you can either rely on fighting bosses and elite monsters to explode them, or you can collect precious materials for making equipment and let craftsman-type professional players build them.
Usagi Fukasumi is a veteran. After trading with beta testers who set up different stalls here, he quickly turned the money he earned from killing monsters today into a pile of materials.
Afterwards, I met the craftsman I had arranged to meet at the door of a coffee shop.
"Are you sure you want to build a glove-type weapon? You must know that a cold weapon is an inch longer and an inch stronger. In this really deadly game, it is not a good choice to fight with a super-close weapon like a glove. "
The other party's game ID is [Red Star Moon] and she looks like a woman in her late twenties or mid-twenties. After entering the coffee shop and sitting down to talk, she started asking directly.
"Yes, glove weapons are required."
Wu Ke explained the reason directly.
"The skill judgment of this game is that the longer and larger the weapon, the longer it takes. On the contrary, if you use fists, you can achieve faster attack speed."
He took out his rapier and gave an example.
"Just like this sword, if I use my fist, I can hit at least three effective skill attacks in a row during the time it takes for it to hit one effective skill attack."
After a pause, Wu Ke said with a sudden thought: "In addition, if you can come up with some attack equipment that can equip my knees, head, elbows, etc., then my effective attack frequency will be higher... "
These words not only dumbfounded the craftsman player opposite Hong Xingyue, but also dumbfounded the beta tester Usuzawa Fukasumi next to him.
Wu Ke saw the expressions of the two of them with their mouths open, and asked a little confused: "Uh, is there anything wrong with my statement? Doesn't this game allow those parts to be used for attacks? I tried it today, and it seems It’s okay…”
"Well, elbow, knee, and even headbutt attacks are indeed allowed. The attack system of the SAO game has a very high degree of freedom.
If dying in this game would not cause us to die in reality, this would undoubtedly be a great epoch-making game.
But, yes, yes, I can build such equipment, but are you sure you can control them to fight?
By the way, the way players bite their teeth can actually trigger the effective attack determination of the skill system. Do you want to put some equipment similar to steel teeth into your mouth? "
Hong Xingyue originally just wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect that the girl who was brought by Mitte on the opposite side was actually thinking seriously. She was still opening and closing her mouth, as if she was really trying to trigger an effective attack from the skill system. determination.
"Hey, it's really okay!"
Wu Ke was a little surprised when the teeth in his mouth lit up and he clicked in the air.
Immediately, he thanked Hong Xingyue opposite: "Thank you for reminding me. If possible, I will also build a pair of steel teeth."
Really. A requirement to be armed to the teeth.
Hong Xingyue: "..."
"Hey, hey, you are using the appearance of my friend now, please don't ruin her image!"
Usagi Fukasumi couldn't sit still.
Who knows what the girl character wearing a pair of steel teeth equipment will look like.
"What's the problem? This is a virtual game world, not reality. What are you worried about?"
Wu Ke looked over in confusion.
"We don't have extra money or materials. What we just bought is enough to pay for the glove weapons."
Usagi Fukasumi said.
"This is simple."
Wu Ke turned his head and looked at the craftsman player opposite.
Hong Xingyue immediately became alert: "Credit, no need to discuss."
"Well, I haven't said anything yet..."
"Intuition, prediction."
The female player opposite replied.
"I am actually an official rescue worker from the outside world..."
Wu Ke directly explained his identity as the official rescuer he was pretending to be.
"Even if you are the contemporary Emperor of Japan, I will never give you credit!"
Hong Xingyue's face looked ugly, she said bluntly.
"I'm really..."
Not official, but really a rescuer.
"I really don't take credit..."
Hong Xingyue also said that as a professional player, he is not in a very good situation now.
Because if you go to fight monsters or fight, you may die.
Therefore, most players who are afraid of this choose life careers.
This has also led to competition among professional life players who were originally unpopular. Even craftsman life professional players like Hong Xingyue during the closed beta period are not doing very well now. They rely on building equipment for other closed beta players they know. , living off the commissions collected...
"Although there are no problems with the current player base, it is only because we have not been trapped in this world long enough. Realistic laws and morals are still protecting us. However, this situation will not It goes on and on.
Unless you can see the opportunity to leave this virtual world in the future, over time, players will sooner or later be divided into different classes. Players with higher levels will undoubtedly be the upper class, and players with lower levels will be the lower class.
Mitt, you should also know that players are a group of all kinds of people. Although I don’t want to bully the weak, I also don’t want to be bullied on the head by some trash guys in the future.
Therefore, I must ensure that my level does not fall too far behind the first-tier players, and if professional players want to do this, they must earn a lot of money. "
Hong Xingyue paused and said straightforwardly: "If you want to pay me to build equipment for you, I'm very welcome, but if you want to prostitute me for free, there's no way."
She obviously didn't believe that Wu Ke was an outside rescuer.
And this is normal. Not every player has a large game communication circle.
"Okay, then you can build gloves and weapons first. As for other equipment, let's wait until I have enough money."
Wu Ke was also a little helpless, but looking at the more than 200 players in the friend column who believed that they were official rescuers, he felt that this was actually not a big problem.
After trading materials and deposits with Hong Xingyue, Tuzawa Fumaki gave a delivery time: "I will try my best to build the best quality boxing equipment tonight, and I will make an appointment to deliver the goods here tomorrow. Give me the rest of the reward.”
"Is it okay in the morning?"
"Can."
"Okay, it's time for me to log off."
Wu Ke turned around and said something to Tuzawa Fukasumi, then unplugged the network cable and helmet in front of the outside world, and disappeared directly.
Hong Xingyue: "???"
