After coming back from exercise and assembling a NervGear, swordartonline was finally downloaded. [It's actually a Java program, no wonder it's so bloated. ] Before loading the game, Yushan Kazuto had already read through the lowest level of code. "Connection begins." Yushan Kazuto said something that made him feel very ashamed while lying on the bed. He regretted that he did not replace this sentence when he modified the driver of Nervgear. The breathing light of the nervgear lit up, and Yushan Kazuto felt that his vision was surrounded by darkness, and a colorful halo appeared in front of him. [What era is it now? Why are you still using this outdated opening animation? Can you have a little more cyberpunk style? ] A huge SAO logo appeared, and Yushan Kazuto seemed to be in another world. After the grand opening animation ended, Yushan Kazuto stood on a stone road. A line of words appeared before Hayama Kazuto's eyes - the town of origin. There weren't many people in the game. After all, there were only a thousand people qualified for the closed beta test, and even fewer who could enter the game so early. Yushan and Ren's fiber optic bandwidth was at the gigabit level, and it took nearly two hours to download. He stepped hard on the stone slab and jumped a little. The feedback was somewhat beyond Yushan Heren's expectations - it was unexpectedly quite good.
[The light and shadow effects still have some jagged edges, and the water drop effects are not satisfactory. It seems that the graphics processing unit of NervGear needs to be connected to the graphics processing hardware of Z15T02.] Fortunately, there are not many players now, otherwise the legend might spread: On the first day of the closed beta test, a player actually played in the water in the starting town! After walking into the town and communicating with some NPCs, Yushan and others were able to test their intelligence levels. [Only some NPCs have lower-level intelligence, and most NPCs only have 'temper'. ] Say It's temper, actually it's a teasing term. When communicating with most of the NPCs walking on the street, you usually only get lines like "don't bother me", "hello", "I'm busy" and so on. After walking around and observing enough, Yushan Heren accepted a mission and received a black dagger. "To eliminate harm to the people, the wild boar in the west of the city 0/10." The blue wild boar looks a little funny, but its sharp fangs and strong body show that its strength should not be underestimated. [The monster's AI is also average, with only four attack modes, and the route of each attack mode is also easy to predict. However, this is just a small monster after all. ] After dodging the blue wild boar's sudden attack, Yushan Heren flipped over and jumped high. He slashed the blue wild boar's neck with his black dagger, and a stream of cobalt blue blood gushed out. The blue boar fell to the ground in an anti-physical posture, struggled for a few seconds, and suddenly stopped moving. Accompanied by the sound of glass breaking, the blue boar's body turned into countless polygonal fragments and was blown away by the wind. Suddenly, a golden light shot up from Yushan Heren's body and rose from level one to level two. [The impact is good, but the death scene is too perfunctory. 】 After picking up the items dropped by the blue boar, Yushan Heren turned to the back and said, "Friend over there, could you please come out for a moment?" A young boy walked out from behind the tree. He looked a little immature and scratched his head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I disturbed your fight." "What are you doing hiding behind the tree? Want to steal the monster?" Although he seldom plays games, Yushan Kazuto still knows these game terms.
"No, no, I'm just attracted by your sword skills. Excuse me, can you team up with me?" the boy quickly denied. "No, I'll be offline if I kill one more monster." Yushan Heren ignored the boy's invitation to join a team and walked into the dense forest. He was going to find a boss and test the boss's intelligence. Chapter 119 The other party may have given up [The boss monster's AI is indeed a bit higher, but it can only be considered weakly intelligent, and is still mainly improved by numerical values and mechanisms. ] After defeating the Kobold Lord, Yushan Kazuto quit SAO. Overall, his evaluation of the game is relatively positive. Perhaps because he is too rational, Yushan Kazuto does not have a strong sense of the authenticity of SAO, but just based on the excellent sense of attack and beautiful painting style, he is still willing to give it a high evaluation. Of course, while playing in SAO, Yushan and others found a little surprise - Cardinal. Cardinal can control the balance of the SAO world based on its own judgment, use two main programs to correct errors, and then use countless subroutines to adjust the world's values. [Cardinal, this is a relatively primitive strong AI, but it's too simple, otherwise it could bring me some inspiration.] "Meow! Meow!" Xiaoxue also woke up and saw that she was still locked in the cage, and cried out in dissatisfaction. "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll let you out right away!" Yushan Kazuto put the two cardinals into the box before taking Xiaoxue out. …… Zero o'clock, argus. A program log was generated on Kayaba Akihiko's computer on time. "The number of people who logged in on the first day was... 998? It seems that it is a good idea to grant the test qualification to users in areas with faster Internet speeds." Originally, Kayaba Akihiko was going to randomly distribute the qualifications for the SAO closed test, but was stopped by Kamishiro Rinko. The SAO game itself is too large, and in areas with slow internet speeds, it may take several days just to download it, which is not a good thing for a closed test. "Rinko, you've done a great job." Looking at Rinko Kamishiro who was bending over to pour coffee, Kayaba Akihiko said with a smile. "I just hope that the closed beta test goes smoothly so you don't have to work day and night." Rinko Kamishiro placed the coffee on Kayaba Akihiko's desk. Kayaba Akihiko continued to look at the log: "On the first day of the game, wild boars were killed 17,400 times, and wild wolves were killed 9,500 times. It seems that we can add a few low-level monsters." "Hey, are you going to work overtime again? I really want to know when you can get off work on time." "It will be soon. Judging from the program log, cardinal is running very well and can basically take over my job. The world you and I expect is not far away." "Coax Donnie?" Rinko Kamishiro asked coquettishly, and Kayaba Akihiko's expression immediately changed. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Rinko Kamishiro was a little nervous. "No, no." Kayaba Akihiko realized that he seemed to be too anxious. "There is a string of abnormal data in the log. I just saw it." "What abnormal data?" Rinko Kamishiro breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that she didn't say something wrong. "A level 2 player killed the level 15 Kobold Lord Irvangu." Kayaba Akihiko frowned. He didn't expect that someone would be able to kill the Kobold Lord on the first day of the closed beta test. According to Kayaba Akihiko's calculations, it would take at least the third day of the game to gather five or so players above level ten to form a raiding team in order to take down the Kobold Lord.
"He didn't use any cheating mechanism, right? Or, he assembled a long-range team of more than 200 people?" Rinko Kamishiro also participated in the development, and she knew the difficulty of the ogre lord Irvangu. Although a level 1 novice player can deal damage to Irfangu after getting a weapon, the damage is not much different from tickling. "It's not clear yet. Let me check the detailed log of this player first." Kayaba Akihiko's heart was beating violently. He didn't want to find a serious bug on the first day of the SAO closed beta. "Isn't this level eight? He is currently the highest level person in the game." Looking at the data of Yushan Kazuto, Kamishiro Rinko said. Suddenly, she reacted again: “He only reached level eight after killing Irfangu.” “Yes, before he killed Irfangu, he was a genuine second-tier player.” Yushan Heren's battle log only records the battles between two monsters. The first one is the blue boar, whose full name is the Manic Boar, and the second one is the kobold lord Irvangu. "No, why are there only records of battles between two monsters? Irvangu's four lives alone can summon twelve ruins kobold guards, so why are there only records of his battles against two monsters?" Rinko Kamishiro couldn't understand. "When I designed the Kobold Irfangul, the Kobold guards of the ruins were not forced to be killed, and as long as the previous Kobold guards of the ruins were not dead, Irfangul would not summon new guards." Kayaba Akihiko said. This design was originally intended to enhance the playability of the game, but Kayaba Akihiko did not expect that someone would actually skip the ruins kobold guards and directly capture Irvangu. “对方每次攻击伤害都在85-95的区间，偶尔还能打出300以上的伤害。正常的两级玩家，伤害只有3-5吧？”神代凛子十分怀疑。 "When the opponent killed the Manic Boar... a poisoned dagger and a skill that increased damage were dropped." Poisoned dagger, each attack adds 10 seconds of poison status, -2 health per second, up to 5 layers. Damage increased, each attack adds 8 points True damage. "All these injuries, added together, are only about twenty." The doubt in Kamishiro Rinko's tone had lost its confidence. "Every damage is... an attack on vital points." Kayaba Akihiko said gritting his teeth. In PVE, attacks on vital points will deal four times the damage, which is Yushan Heren's most important source of damage. As for the damage above 300, it is not caused by Yushan Heren, but the damage caused by him inducing the ruins kobold guards to attack Irvangu. "Is this guy really a human?" Kamishiro Rinko slumped in the chair, fighting four monsters alone, and every attack was a vital injury. The existence of such a person in the game is simply a harm to the game! If this continues, the closed beta of the game has not yet ended, and the opponent has already cleared it. "I'm not sure. I think the opponent may be an AI that is more complete than Cardinal." Kayaba Akihiko felt a headache and closed the battle log of Yushan Kazuto. "How is that possible? Cardinal is already a strong AI. Akihiko, don't be so unconfident about the program you wrote!" Kamishiro Rinko said, "How about we check the other party's IP address to see if it's our competitor who's behind this." Kayaba Akihiko shook his head: "No, after conquering Irfangu, he never came online again. To use the current online terminology, he may have abandoned the game." Chapter 120: Hui, the Stayover Friday. The school bell rang. There were no club activities today, so Yushan Kazuto stood up and said, "Keiko, let's go together." "Hey, I have to go home to get something first!" Kato Megumi tilted her head and looked at Yushan Kazuto. "It's just tutoring, what do you need to go home to get?" Yushan Heren felt a little strange.
"I forgot my tutoring materials for Tuesday at home!" Kato Megumi turned her head away and carefully sorted out her books to take home. Inadvertently, she hid a small stack of materials in her schoolbag. "Can I go with you to get it?" Yushan Heren offered. "Kazuto, do you want to come to my house for dinner?" Kato Megumi turned her head to look at Yushan Kazuto, her hair fell to her shoulders. Yushan Kazuto then noticed that Kato Megumi was actually growing her hair. "Wait, Hui, what are you doing?" Seeing Kato Hui take out his mobile phone and dial a few numbers, Yushan Heren finally reacted. "Kazuto, you want to come to my house for dinner, so of course I have to call my mom and ask her to cook more food." Kato Megumi said in a relaxed tone, and was about to press the dial button, "By the way, today's dinner at home is Sukiyaki, Kazuto, do you like it?" "I like it." Yushan Heren said, "Eh, no, I didn't expect to go to your house for dinner." "Not going?" Kato Megumi looked at Yushan Kazuto and blinked. "I'll take you to the station. You go home and prepare your things, have dinner, and then come to my house." Yushan Heren said with a blushing face. "Aren't you going to eat Sukiyaki? Curry Sukiyaki is delicious!" "no, I'm fine." …… At eight o'clock in the evening, Yushan Kazuto's doorbell rang. "It's a bit late..." Yushan Kazuto opened the door and looked at Kato Megumi, who was carrying a lot of bags in front of him, and he held back the word "late". "Mei, what are you doing?" "Obviously, I'm going to stay here tonight." Kato Megumi walked into the room. "Eh?" Yushan Heren couldn't believe his ears. "Want to stay overnight?" "My father said he would pick me up tonight and it would be too much trouble to send me back tomorrow morning, so he let me rest at your house for one night." Before Yushan Kazuto could accept the fact that Kato Megumi was staying over, Kato Megumi had already put other things beside the bed and took out a thermos with a teddy bear pattern and placed it on the table. When you open the lid, a wave of hot steam rises, accompanied by a rich curry aroma. "This is curry sukiyaki. I managed to protect it with my sister's chopsticks." Yushan Kazuto swallowed and said, "I...I've already had dinner." "Well, you don't want to eat it? It won't taste good if it's left for too long." Kato Megumi looked at the Sukiyaki pot with an embarrassed expression. "Meow~" Xiaoxue fluttered a few times, used the chair as a springboard, and jumped onto the table. Her two big eyes stared at the Sukiyaki pot, and her paws reached up. "You can't eat this." Kato Hui picked up the thermos bucket and looked at Yushan Kazuto: "Kazuto, if you don't eat it, Xiaoxue will always be greedy." "Eat, I want to eat now!" Yushan Heren took the thermos bucket.
in the kitchen. Hayama Kazuto was eating Sukiyaki pot, and Kato Megumi was sitting opposite him, holding her chin and looking at Hayama Kazuto. After eating more than half, Yushan Heren felt a little tired: "Hui, do you want to eat something too?" "I've eaten it at home, this is specially saved for you." Kato Megumi also climbed onto the table with her other hand, clasped her hands together, and rested her head on them.
