“You guys are a little too confident.”
Klein heard his companion’s words and said with a speechless tone.
Their skill levels were about the same. He himself had spent an entire afternoon barely mastering the use of SAO’s sword skills.
To become proficient in just one hour was not easy.
“It’s already at this point, we must work hard, Klein.”
The companion who had just spoken back said with a hearty laugh.
“Don’t underestimate us, Klein.”
Another companion spoke with a relaxed tone: “You told us there were two other great players in the team. If we are too stupid, we would be too embarrassed to leech experience from the two of you.”
“Forget it, anyway, you guys have already said it. If we don’t complete it, it’s not my face that will be lost.”
Klein shrugged and said indifferently.
“Not bad, good momentum.”
Xia Yan said with a smile: “Since that’s the case, let’s form the team first. Then we go and exchange for a Black Iron Sword, and spend the rest of the money on healing potions.”
Hearing this, everyone first added each other as friends and then formed a team.
“Oh oh oh oh oh!”
Klein looked at the three words ‘Asuna’ in his friend list and let out a howl like a wolf, almost crying with joy, “My friend list finally has a cute girl!”
“Alright, dumb Klein.”
One of his companions couldn’t stand it anymore and said to dishearten him, “Anyway, it’s not your type. She’s taken.”
“You don’t understand!”
Klein looked down upon him: “Asuna-san will definitely make friends with female players in the future. I have Asuna-san as a friend, so I can ask her to introduce me to some female players. I don’t want to spend my entire life with a bunch of smelly men like you.”
“Give up, Klein.”
His other companion continued to dampen his spirits, “You are destined to only be with us, stop daydreaming.”
“Get lost!”
Klein glared at him angrily.
“You’re so carefree.....”
Kirito felt a bit envious when he saw the carefree joking, and he sighed in admiration.
He was very fortunate that he did not abandon them on a whim and head to the next village alone, instead choosing to stay and advance together with everyone.
“Kirito......”
Klein looked at Kirito with a longing gaze.
“What?”
Kirito was stunned.
“If I really can’t find a girlfriend in the game, I’ll ask you to introduce your sister to me.”
Klein said with the utmost seriousness.
“Get lost!”
Kirito said angrily.
“Alright, let’s get going.”
Xia Yan laughed, interrupting their banter: “Time is very tight, we don’t have time to waste.”
Under Xia Yan’s instructions, everyone went to the general stores and weapon shops in the town to replenish their equipment and healing potions, then headed out of the city.
...
Outside the city.
A gentle breeze blew, the green grass stretched as far as the eye could see, and the air was filled with the scent of grass and earth mixed together.
The sky was gradually darkening, and a few bright stars were appearing.
Compared to the atmosphere of panic inside the city, the environment outside the city was definitely refreshing.
Compared to the afternoon, there were clearly many more player figures appearing outside the city.
Among them were many closed beta testers, and many open beta testers.
They were all players who had reacted to the announcement of Kayaba Akihiko’s death game. They were all desperately trying to survive in the game, acquire resources, and wanted to rely on their own strength to beat the game and return to reality.
Xia Yan and Kirito and the others came to a place suitable for novice players to grind monsters, there were no other players around, and there was no chance of stealing monsters for now.
It has to be admitted, having a closed beta tester as a guide was really comfortable.
SAO, as the world’s first full immersion game, had no auto-navigation system for the sake of realism, even the map needed to be recorded in real time and made by the players themselves.
Coupled with the wide terrain, it was very easy to get lost.
But Kirito, this closed beta tester, was very familiar with the terrain of the first floor.
Xia Yan and the others didn’t have to worry about the map at all.
After choosing the leveling location, Xia Yan and Kirito acted as the teachers for everyone, and began to teach them the monster grinding techniques in SAO.
Time passed quickly, an hour had passed, and it was completely dark.
“It seems like Kayaba Akihiko’s words are indeed effective. Everyone’s enthusiasm is quite high.”
Xia Yan stood leisurely aside, he did not participate in the monster grinding queue, after all, the experience here was very little for him, and they were in a team, so the experience could be shared.
Perfect for slacking off.
Of course, there was also the reason to prevent any accidents, so he could intervene and save people at any time.
To Xia Yan’s nonchalant words, Kirito rolled his eyes, and retorted, “How can their enthusiasm not be high?”
If their enthusiasm was not high, they might die in the game.
Kirito and Xia Lin, like the others, did not participate in the monster grinding, and watched everyone from the side.
“This Asuna, what is her background......”
Kirito’s gaze fell on Asuna, and he said in surprise, “Is she really a complete novice? I can’t see it at all. Even if you said she was a game god in another game, I wouldn’t doubt it.”
It’s no wonder Kirito had such a doubt.
Asuna’s learning speed was just too fast.
From the beginning, she was even a little clumsy when swinging her weapon, to now skillfully using sword skills, it took less than an hour.
Her petite figure moved through the darkness, shuttling between the monsters’ encirclement, her sharp sword light tore through the night sky, leaving huge pink wounds on the monsters’ bodies.
Her movements still had some flaws, and the efficiency of skill usage was not very high, but compared to Klein and the others, the progress was too obvious.
“If you knew that she has been consistently ranked first in school, and her grades are always A’s, you wouldn’t find it strange.”
Xia Yan said.
Xia Yan didn’t find it strange at all that Asuna had such a learning speed.
Asuna was originally a super scholar, with a very strong learning ability.
Compared to the complex knowledge in school textbooks, the various gameplays in the game were simply too easy.
Not to mention, people like Asuna, whose family might have learned some Western swordsmanship courses, had an innate advantage over other open beta testers.
Hearing Xia Yan’s words, Kirito twitched the corners of his mouth.
So both of you are winners in life, huh?
You’re so awesome, why are you playing games!
Are you here to make people feel bad!
