Reincarnation of the whole people: choose the black light virus at the beginning

The title name after the upgrade, like the achievement name of winning the first kill, is called “First Blood”.

……

[Title: The first blood → the original heart]

[Attribute: When fighting against the defensive boss, get 10% damage increase, 10% damage reduction]

[Description: The brilliance of the explorer gives you protection against strong enemies]

……

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng also suddenly understood that the original title upgrade was not simply a numerical accumulation.

Instead, change the effect to another type entirely.

Looking at the original attributes of the [Initial Intention], Mrs. Zheng thought for a moment and did not choose to upgrade.

After all, for him…

The 5% total XP gain bonus is much more valuable than the buff status that can only be applied to the defensive boss.

Roughly summarizing the first kill gains, Mrs. Zheng found that what helped her the most in her current situation was a huge amount of experience points and 1,000 strategy points.

After collecting the loot, Mrs. Zheng looked at the stairs leading to the second floor that appeared because the boss of the defending floor was knocked down.

“Let’s go, let’s go to the next floor.”

Randomly exchanging several layers of teleportation crystals in the Raiders Shop, Zhengtai greeted Yura and Asuna.

At the same time, through the soul network, let the Cangyue waiting outside converge with the team.

“About the gambling contract just now… I’m willing to gamble and lose. ”

Youra recalled the battle process between the two just now, without the slightest prevarication, and directly and neatly admitted defeat.

Although judging from the results, the two have the same record as each other, and each knocked out half of the health of the Doghead Lord.

But Yura can deal this damage because her current strength can only knock out half of the health of the boss of the guarding layer at most.

And Mrs. Zheng is because the boss only has so much HP left.

The high and low between the two, even Asuna can easily distinguish.

“Oh? So if that’s the case… Just when you owe me a request. ”

Mrs. Zheng did not immediately use the opportunity of this order directly, and sometimes, the favor owed was more effective than the direct use.

Regardless of the shock and anger of the ghost clan players who were robbed of the first kill, they were unwilling.

The news that the defensive boss of the first layer was attacked within 3 days undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm to all players who were in a low mood.

After being caught up in the game of death, they thought they were in a desperate situation.

Unexpectedly, just when they lost their souls, there were already players who secretly exerted their power to completely smash the first boulder blocking the road to clearance!

On Day 4, the number of players leaving the safe zone increases.

The death of the first-layer defensive boss is more meaningful and valuable than it is alive.

The 3 players who won the first kill were also firmly remembered by others as the persistence and motivation to survive in this world.

Having someone forge a path ahead and facing the fear of the unknown alone are two very different experiences.

More and more players are daring to fight, level up, and start forming teams and spontaneous groups.

Among them, the elite players have formed a strategy group that dares to challenge high-level elite monsters, following the footprints left by Mrs. Zheng and moving towards the second layer.

However, compared to other players who have regained “hope”, there is a figure that is sullen in the tavern of Torbana Town, the town closest to the maze area.

“Asuna…”

The swordsman player, dressed in black leather, slammed the empty wine glass on the table, and chanted the name repeatedly with his eyes lost.

He had a feeling that the nickname of the player who appeared on the first kill list, along with the glory of the first kill itself, should belong to him.

A kind of unexplained loss and anger filled his heart, the flame was raging, but there was nowhere to vent.

However, he had to admit that even with the identity of a “cheatbreaker” who had participated in the internal test of “Sword Art Online”.

He also can’t do the feat of killing the defensive boss with a team of 3 on the 3rd day of the game.

“Duh.”

A soft sound came from the empty seat in front of him, and the black-clothed swordsman raised his head, and an unfamiliar face came into view.

“Strange, in the Sword Art Online… Is there a race with horns on their foreheads? ”

“Hello, Kirito-san, I know you are a cheater… But trust me, I’m not malicious. ”

The ghost clan player who came into contact with Kirito took out the words that had been prepared for a long time and said with a smile on his face.

“I would like to invite you to join my team and explore the next floors together.”

As a solo player, Kirito wanted to refuse casually.

In his opinion, this is another player who wants to use his intelligence as a cheater to obtain benefits.

However, the other party’s next words made him unable to say the words of rejection, but aroused his interest.

“In exchange … I have some information about the player named ‘Asuna’ here, would you like to hear it? ”

……

The main block on the second floor of Irongrunt, called “Urbas”.

This is a ring mountain with a diameter of about 300 meters hollowed out, leaving only the perimeter as a walled town.

It is only in the virtual world that such a peculiar town structure can be seen.

“Huh?! Isn’t Mr. Captain on a raid with us?! ”

In the teahouse, while tasting a cup of herbal tea worth 800 gold coins, Asuna exclaimed in disbelief.

Youra, on the other hand, seemed to have foreseen this scene a long time ago and snorted softly.

“Although with your strength, continuing to stay in the team really does not help everyone’s improvement…”

“But leave Miss Ben to do something else by herself, this hatred, I made a note!”

“Sister Youra, now is not the time to take revenge!”

Asuna looked a little speechless at the Wave Knight who raised his arms and didn’t look away.

Although she respects this girl who gives her confidence, teaches her combat skills, and is also a mentor and friend.

But Asuna knows that the key person who maintains the existence of this team is still Mrs. Zheng.

If he is leaving, then this team … It is very likely that it will be slumped and faced with various problems.

Although she usually interacts the most with Yura and has the best relationship, Asuna herself also has some facts that she doesn’t want to admit…

She is already unknowingly very dependent on the sense of security brought by Mrs. Zheng.

As long as you see Mrs. Zheng’s name in the list of team members, you can feel that your heart is very grounded.

Coughing lightly, Mrs. Zheng explained.

“I’m not quitting the team, I’m just handing over the captaincy to Yura, and I’ll still take a place in the team.”

The maximum number of team members in Sword Art Online is 6, and if you join a guild, you can have a more detailed team formation.

“And, as Yura said…”

“If I stay in the team, it will not help you in the slightest, but will become an obstacle for you.”

“Because… My strength and yours are not at all on the same level. ”

Asuna nodded understandingly, and Youra, who really knew the gap between her strength and Mrs. Zheng, snorted again.

But this is a fact, so this hatred … It can only be credited to your own account.

“Moreover, I left the team and had my own business.”

Mrs. Zheng had already calculated in her heart, and the next action plan.

“I will give you 3 days, and after 3 days, I hope you can have the strength to challenge the defensive bosses of this layer.”

“Any equipment, potions, teleportation crystals you need, I can provide support, but.”

After a pause, Mrs. Zheng looked stunned and said seriously.

“When you challenge the defensive boss, I won’t make a move.”
