Honestly speaking, ever since Kayaba Akihiko showed up, Kirito had been worried about being trapped in the game, but he was not panicked. Because during the closed beta period, it took them only one month to reach the eighth floor of the Sky Tower. Kirito originally thought that since the number of SAO players is now a hundred times greater than before, he should be able to complete the game at a faster speed. But what was unexpected was that during this month, not only did nearly a thousand players in the game die, but there was also no progress at all in terms of strategy progress. Compared to the maze area during the internal test, the location of the floor boss' room has changed, and it was not discovered by Diabel until today. The maze area has changed, which may be one of the reasons why the current progress of the strategy is slow. But Kirito believes that the mentality of the players is also a big problem. This time, Diabel made such a big deal about the strategy meeting. If they can successfully defeat the floor boss, then it will be a good thing. But if they fail... Then players who are already afraid of the maze area will probably be even more afraid to face the floor boss. In even more serious cases, they may be trapped on the first level for several months, half a year... or even longer.
“It’s hard to say, although this beginner’s guide does contain information about the first-floor boss, the Kobold. But compared to the closed beta test, the location of the floor boss' room has changed. Who knows if the opponent's skills and mechanisms will change?" "As for today's situation, I think you should have seen it. That idiot called Ya Wang has already provoked conflicts between players before the battle even started. And he still wants to fight together? I think Diabel, who organized the meeting, is not a simple guy either. Organizing a group of people to attack the BOSS together is probably not only to boost player morale, but also to make a name for oneself. After all, if we successfully defeat the first floor BOSS, then we will be considered pioneers, and as a leader, if he wants to recruit troops in the future, with the bonus of fame, naturally many people will choose to follow him. " After Seiya's analysis, Kirito and Asuna agreed with most of it, but they always felt that Seiya thought too darkly of other people. They were a little confused. They all looked about the same age, so why was Shengzai's heart so similar to those dirty adults? "Heh, you're just innocent and stupid middle school students. It's normal that you don't understand the dangers of society." Kirito: (▽｀) We grew up together, why are you trying to show off in front of me? Asuna: (￣￣), judging from his self-introduction just now, he is one year younger than me, right? Besides, you are just junior high school students, I have already been promoted to high school student this year, okay! Why should she, a high school student, be scolded by junior high school students? It's so infuriating! "In short, if anything unexpected happens, the three of us can just do it on our own! It's just a floor boss. Even if there are only three of us, it shouldn't be a problem. If I hadn't been unable to find a room before, I would have killed this kobold by myself a long time ago." To be honest, Seiya's tone was quite arrogant, which made Asuna, who was sitting next to him, speechless. She was also a newbie to the game, but with her excellent learning and adaptability, she mastered the tricks of the game in a very short time. But even so, Asuna often had a hard time dealing with ordinary wild monsters of the same level, so she really didn't understand why Seiya could make it sound so easy to solo a BOSS. Is the other party just an arrogant person, or does he really have the strength?
But soon, Asuna realized whether Seiya was just a show-off or had real ability. Diabel scheduled the strategy meeting for two days later. The two days were enough for each team to prepare and increase their mutual understanding and cooperation. It would be fine for Seiya and Kirito, but since Asuna is a new teammate, Seiya suggested that they also go kill some monsters to improve their mutual coordination. It was during these two days of adjustment that Asuna realized that Seiya's previous words about wanting to defeat the BOSS alone were definitely not just talk. Because these two teammates in her own team are fucking monsters! It's not like Asuna hasn't seen people fighting alone before, because she herself has experienced that. But Seiya's one-on-one fight with Kirito directly refreshed her worldview! The two guys said they were bringing her to improve the team's understanding, but they took her directly to the most dangerous area with the densest and highest level of monsters! It would be fine if they could just kill monsters above their level, but these two guys actually took on multiple monsters at the same time every time. The fighting style of roaming among multiple monsters at the same time made Asuna deeply understand what it means to truly dance on the edge of a blade. What's even more outrageous is that after finishing the first day's buffer training, these two guys actually took her to find a wild BOSS with a higher level than them on the second day. And he taught her directly according to her aptitude, teaching her the "switching" mechanism in the BOSS battle! Although the attributes and levels of the wild BOSS are not as powerful as the floor BOSS, and they are not "unique", they are not something that ordinary players can defeat, not to mention that they are challenging higher-level players. But what's outrageous is that the wild boss that was almost invincible in Asuna's eyes was directly killed by the three of them under the careful teaching of Seiya and Kirito. Moreover, as the final killer, she not only gained a lot of experience, which led to an increase in her level, but also received a rapier called "Flying Star" as a special reward. It was also from that moment that Asuna realized that the two teammates she had met by chance were definitely top-level players. Especially Seiya, who is a monster among monsters. His reflexes and skills are simply not like those of a human. When I had not yet fully mastered the mechanism of "Switching", all my flaws were remedied by Seiya. The so-called "saint" is not only rich, but his fighting power is also as strong as a saint! Two days passed quickly, and Seiya and the other two teams gathered with the other members of the strategy group at the entrance of the maze area as agreed at the beginning. Compared to the rag cloak she wore two days ago, Asuna now has waist-length flaxen hair, wears tight leather armor, and has the rapier "Flying Star" on her waist, looking like a heroic female swordsman. Asuna used the cloak to hide her figure in the past because she didn't want to cause trouble, and she was also unwilling to trust others easily. After all, in this game, there are no characters like detectives. It can be said to be a real lawless zone.
