Kirito is not the only "cheater" in SAO. In the past, everyone still had the mentality of playing games. Although resources were important, it didn’t mean they had to be snatched. But the situation now is obviously different from before. The current SAO is a real death game! In a game where you can only die once, various game resources are the guarantee for you to survive better in this world. Therefore, it is foreseeable that the limited resources in the Novice Village will be scrambled for by all players! This is not a question of giving in or not, but in this dangerous gaming world, who doesn’t want to become stronger and survive to the end? As a beta test player, Kirito naturally knew where the resources of the Novice Village were, so he immediately wanted to bring Seiya and Klein along. However, Klein said that he entered the game with a good friend. He was also very clear about his own strength. If he worked with Seiya and Kirito, he would only hinder them, so he took the initiative to choose to withdraw.
In response to this, Seiya and Kirito chose to respect each other's decision and rushed to the nearest mission resource point as quickly as possible. However, it turns out that Kirito is not the only smart person in this world. When the two of them rushed to the nearest mission area as quickly as possible, the mission resources here had already been swept away by others. Kirito, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sigh loudly. This is the nearest mission resource location to them. If they are late even here, there is no need to go anywhere else. "Who said that all the missions have been accepted? Isn't that man over there who looks like a philistine the mission NPC?" After hearing what Seiya said, Kirito looked in the direction he pointed with a look of surprise at first, thinking that it was a mission that those cheaters had missed. However, when he saw clearly who Seiya was referring to, a disappointed expression suddenly appeared on his face and he said, “The person you are talking about is indeed a mission NPC. But it’s not that those cheating players don’t want to take his mission, but that they simply can’t take it.” Seeing Seiya's puzzled look, Kirito could only continue to explain: "The name of this NPC is the mercenary businessman Messi, and what he is troubled by now. It was because his goods were intercepted by a group of "hungry wolves" on the grassland. If you complete this quest, he will give you a very rare one-handed sword weapon in the early stages - the Wind Flower Sword. " "Hungry wolves are monsters that live on the grasslands. They are much stronger than frenzied boars, and they live in groups. The one who looted Messi's goods was the "Dire Wolf Leader", a monster at the level of a jungle boss. Of course, even though it’s a jungle BOSS, I’m very familiar with its mechanism, and with the abilities of both of us, it’s not impossible to take it down. But the only problem is that if you want to accept this task from the mercenary businessman Messi, you need to pay a deposit of up to one gold col. " After listening to what Kirito said, Seiya finally understood why he had said before that not everyone could take on this mission. As mentioned before, the initial currency for SAO players is only one hundred copper kol. The deposit for one gold kol is 10,000 copper kol, which makes it difficult for players to find so much money in the first place.
During the internal testing, if you fail to challenge the Hungry Wolf BOSS, the deposit will not be refunded. Now players only have one chance to live, and if they fail the challenge they will die. Although it is a high risk and high reward game, the huge initial investment alone is enough to discourage most players. Even during the internal test, this task of the mercenary businessman Messi was not accepted until the later stage. Because at that time the players had already conquered the fifth floor and above, to deal with the wild area BOSS on the first floor, they naturally only needed to use their hands. "Let's just take this mission. Anyway, we don't have any other choice now, right?" Seeing Seiya walking towards the other party, Kirito could only follow helplessly. Kirito guessed that Seiya was trying to bargain with the NPC, but he had already anticipated the result. Because during the internal testing, many people had the same idea, but unfortunately, they were all rejected by the other party in the end. "Are you also adventurers who are planning to help me get the goods back from those damn hungry wolves? But because my goods are quite valuable, I would be very troubled if you took them back and ran away. So you must first pay a deposit of Jin Keer, and there is no room for negotiation on this point." After hearing what Messi said, Kirito showed an expression of "as expected". Just when Kirito wanted Seiya not to waste time and instead of wasting time with this NPC here, it would be better to try his luck somewhere else, but Seiya took out a glittering gold coin in front of Kirito's stunned eyes. "Mr. Messi, right? Don't worry, we know the rules. We are different from those poor guys before. We are nobles who came out from big towns to experience the life of adventurers. We don't care about Jin Ke'er, let alone your goods." After Seiya threw a gold coin to the surprised merchant Messi in front of him, he took out a handful of gold coins as if by magic. Looking at Seiya's hands full of gold coins, not only the mercenary businessman Messi, but even Kirito beside him was dumbfounded at this moment. The gold coins that Seiya caught were at least dozens, and Jin Ke'er's wealth of dozens of coins, let alone in a novice village on the first floor, even in the eighth floor during the internal test, was a staggering amount of money. SAO is a fully stealth virtual game, and even the NPCs' AI intelligence is quite high, and they don't just say fixed lines. As for the mercenary businessman Messi, after seeing the amazing wealth displayed by Seiya, his originally disdainful expression suddenly changed. "Two adventurers... Oh no, two distinguished young masters, I was shortsighted before and mistook you for those poor adventurers. If you two are willing to help, then Messi, who is honest, will naturally trust you. Forget about the deposit. I hope you can take care of my business more in the future. I will be very grateful. " Otherwise, the other party is called a mercenary businessman. After Seiya showed his astonishing wealth, the other party's attitude and tone were completely different from before. In the end, Seiya and Kirito not only successfully took on the task, but they even saved the so-called deposit. After leaving the town, Kirito, who had long been unable to suppress his curiosity, finally looked at Seiya in disbelief and said, "You didn't really do what Klein said and directly opened some cheating software!"
