On the other side, Yuki family. When Yuuki Asuna returned home, her parents, who were successful in their careers, were still very busy and would not be back before nine o'clock in the evening at least. But that did not mean that no one was at home. The huge mansion has a nanny and an older brother. The older brother has the same personality as his father and has a deep interest in the electronics manufacturing industry. Ding dong. The doorbell of the mansion rang. "I'm coming." A man ran down from upstairs to open the door. "Excuse me, is this Mr. Yuuki Koichiro?" The door was pushed open and a courier stood outside. "That's right, it's me."
Koichiro Yuki took the package and signed his name on the receipt. "Brother, what is that?" If Yuuki Asuna doesn't understand, just ask. "It's the NERvGear made by the company 'ARGUS'. How should I put it? Anyway, it's a very powerful thing, so I have to try it out first." Yuuki Koichiro tried to explain, but Yuuki Asuna just tilted her head. I totally don't understand. Watching her brother hurriedly running upstairs, Yuuki Asuna held the cup and took a sip of coffee. I forgot to add sugar, it's so bitter. …… In the dark room, a girl with long black hair sat on a swivel chair, looking at the box beside the bed, which contained a NERvGear helmet. "Sister, please don't stay in the house during the holidays. Wouldn't it be better for you to practice with me?" The door of the room was pushed open, and a flat-bodied girl walked in, holding a bamboo sword in her hand. "Suguha, can you let me rest for a while?" The girl with long black hair rubbed her eyes. "You must have stayed up all night playing games again last night. I don't care about you anymore!" The girl holding a bamboo sword went out. "Kiritani-san!" A few female students happened to pass by. "coming!"
Kiritani Suguha followed him shopping. The girl with long black hair stood by the windowsill, was silent for a moment, then lay back on the bed and continued to sleep. …… Virtual reality, Aincrad. "All closed beta test players have been arranged." After reviewing a series of reports, Kayaba Akihiko finally announced the start of the "Sword Art Online" test at noon that day. Countless waiting players flocked into this world. The blue light beams fell one after another onto the starting city on the first floor. Aincrad, a huge castle of rock and steel floating in the infinite sky, has a diameter of about ten kilometers in its lowest area, which is enough to easily accommodate the entire Setagaya district. Add to that the hundred or so floors piled on top, and its breadth is beyond imagination. There are several cities, numerous small streets and villages, forests and grasslands, and even lakes within the space. No matter whether you are a man or not, you must go to the 100th floor first! It has a very traditional RPG style of play. "Wow~" Players who entered the game were amazed at the realism of the game, as if they were really in a different world. The limbs can be stretched out flexibly without any incoordination. Is this really a newly developed virtual reality technology? It's totally amazing. Each player has a different image, and there is no set of novice clothing, but weapons are still distributed. "Sister, you're so awesome." In a corner of the city of origin, a girl was running back and forth on the street. She had milky white skin, long straight purple hair, and was wearing a blue-purple tight short top and long skirt. She had a black breastplate and a katana on her waist, and the scabbard was also black. "Kapok season, be careful." Another girl standing nearby looked a little worried. As patients in the real world, they have not engaged in strenuous physical activity for a long time, but there is no hindrance in this virtual game. "It's okay, sis." The girl who was running back and forth stopped and continued, "There is one more thing. The first rule of the game is that you can never call each other by real names. Now I am called Yuuki! Do you understand, Sister Ran?" "I understand." The girl Lan smiled helplessly. "GOGOGO, let's go fight monsters!"
Yuuki said excitedly. "Wait a minute, Yuuki, can we go through the beginner's guide first?" Ran immediately pulled Yuuki back. It was the first time for them to play such a large-scale game, or none of them had any experience. After all, this is the first time a VR MMORPG game has been released. "Okay!" Yuuki sat there obediently. She was happy to be able to play games freely with her sister Ran. She was also grateful to Kayaba Akihiko for supporting them, and... Recalling the day when she met Kayaba Akihiko, Yuuki's expression was slightly silent. …… "Reach the eleventh floor. During the two months of the closed beta test, someone wants to see you." Kayaba Akihiko put it bluntly, and this was also the message that Mizoe Tsu wanted to convey. …… "Yuuki? Yuuki!" Lan saw that her sister was in a daze, so she called out to her several times. "exist!" Yuuki came back to his senses, still with that smile on his face. “There are so many skills in this game.” Lan opened the game list and found that there were at least thousands of various skills. And there are no character levels yet, it seems very difficult. "Let's pick a few powerful passive skills to learn first." Yuuki suggested. "Ah." Lan also nodded slightly. …… At the same time, beside the pond in the square of the City of Origin, a tall man with purple hair and a gray cloak sat on a bench, holding a giant sickle in his left hand, with his name marked on his head... Mitt! That is the real-life Usazawa Fukasumi. It's not an exception for girls to play male characters.
At this moment, she was carefully studying the game settings. "The character's five attributes are calculated as percentages. For every 50% increase in the percentage of the first two attributes over the percentage of the third attribute, the total value of this attribute will be increased by an additional 10%." "Encourage extreme additions?" Mitt tilted his head and continued to examine. The five-dimensional attributes are attack, life, spirit, defense and speed. The basic health bar value is 100 and the strength is 20. If the strength attribute is increased to 40 by the passive skill, it will be increased by an additional 40% on this basis, and the final calculation is 56. On the other hand, if the health value is increased to 200, it will increase by an additional 20%, and the final calculation will be 240. The first, second, and third are not in a fixed order, but are ranked according to the percentage of attribute increase. This algorithm is a formula that is very likely to cause numerical collapse. If some players only improve certain attributes, they may even kill the BOSS instantly. but…… "Monsters will release range or constant damage skills. Please choose skills carefully. Once learned, they cannot be removed for the time being." It turns out there are limitations. Volume 137 Sword Art Online SAO (Closed Beta): Chapter 4 Chapter Scythe User Mitt [K] …… Aincrad, first floor wilderness. The handsome man in black clothes was holding a one-handed sword tightly in his hand, confronting the wild boar in front of him. The nickname "Kiriko" is written above the character. That is, tung seeds. "what!" She charged forward with all her might, and the sword quickly slashed across the wild boar's neck, and Tongzi got her first kill here. As the wild boar monster's body turned into a piece of data, the interface of battle benefits was listed one by one. [Combat Experience +100] 【Ke Er+13】 [Weapon·One-handed sword proficiency +1] [Current weapon proficiency level: One-handed sword·cultivation (1/100)] Combat experience, gained by killing monsters, can increase the level of passive and active skills. Cole is the currency of Sword Art Online.
Weapons can unlock various damage skills depending on the style of use, provided that the proficiency level meets the requirements. Weapon proficiency is divided into five levels: cultivation, advancement, great success, ultimate and mystery. For example, in the initial "Training", you can use combat experience to unlock and upgrade the damage skills "Slant Slash", "Horizontal Slash" and "Vertical Slash". Although these names sound a bit like normal attacks. In fact, it is indeed a normal attack.
