"H-hello."
After running around with the strange "man" for more than ten minutes, the cat-eared girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the other person, and greeted him.
"Hello."
Tongzi lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly in response.
"Ah~ It was so thrilling. I thought I was going to die again this time."
The cat-eared girl leaned forward and continued, "Nice to meet you. You can call me Yiji. The cat ears on my head are hair accessories. They are distributed for free by NPCs in the Starting City. They can increase your attack by 1 to 3."
"real or fake?"
Tongzi was immediately attracted by the attributes of this equipment.
Although 1~3 attacks are not much, they are very useful in the early stages of the game, especially since they are free. So cute...
"Well, of course. I'm telling you because you saved me this time. Go to the alley next to the prop store. There is an NPC in black. Just make him wear a maid outfit once."
Yiji stated this somewhat unserious condition with a calm expression.
What is hentai?
Tongzi looked at the cat ears on Yiji's head again, and suddenly felt very subtle. This topic should not be discussed for long, so she asked: "Where is your weapon?"
Yiji had nothing in her hands. Could it be that she threw away her weapon when she ran away?
"Here it is."
But Yiji raised her hands and showed her gloves.
"Boxer?"
Tongzi was surprised. This profession is more difficult than swordsmanship. If it is an ordinary online game, it is okay, but in the virtual reality, you must have a corresponding foundation, otherwise you will develop more slowly than characters carrying conventional weapons such as knives, guns, sticks, etc.
"It's a fighter."
Yi Ji corrected him, and then complained, "Originally this profession was pretty good, but for some reason, the planner actually set up a size judgment in the game. Fighters are resistant to damage from large or high-tonnage targets, and vice versa, the damage to small targets will be increased by a corresponding proportion. You also know that the area next to the starting city is flat and full of wild boars. I couldn't beat them and even got killed once."
“Is there any punishment for death?”
Tongzi took the opportunity to ask for information.
"Yes, and it's quite serious. A 10% deduction will be made based on the total combat experience gained."
Ichiki told this.
"It seems that the death penalty in the early stage is not severe. We don't have any combat experience to deduct now."
Tongzi breathed a sigh of relief.
"I originally thought so, but there is a minimum deduction standard."
Yiji pulled up her game interface and continued, "My combat experience is still negative. It deducted 2500 points from me at once."
2500 combat experience points, it takes more than twenty ordinary wild monsters to defeat one level. Although it is not a lot, it is enough to slow down the player's development process.
"Speaking of which, why did you poke the beehive? If you didn't do that, the monsters wouldn't have entered the "angry" state at all."
Tongzi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Because the hive has a blood bar."
Yiji gave a very straightforward reason.
"That thing has a health bar?"
Kiriko suddenly felt that everything made sense, and then she leaned over to observe the situation in the melee area. The properties of the Venom Bee and the Beedrill Bee were similar, but the Venom Bee had a "Rage" buff, which increased all attributes by 20%, enough to crush the Beedrill Bee swarm.
"It seems like it's almost over." Yiji said.
"Get ready. Most of those monsters are at low health. When most of their health bars drop below the red line, we'll go and finish them off."
Kiriko didn't want to miss out on this batch of economic gains, but it was risky to go forward alone. After much thought, she could only temporarily team up with Yiji and let the latter attract the main hatred, while she launched a roundabout attack on the wild monsters from the side.
"So your name is 'Kiriko'."
Ichihime saw Kiriko's nickname in the team list, but it felt strange when compared with the latter's character model.
"子" has a similar meaning to "姬" in Japanese names and is generally used to describe girls.
"My nickname is in Chinese. The 'Zi' here is the same as Confucius and Mencius."
Tongzi said with a specious argument.
"I see."
Yiji had no choice but to conclude so for now.
"Do you remember what I just said?"
Tongzi has already made tactical plans.
"Hmm~"
Yiji stroked his chin and said, "There is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"explain."
While observing the target, Kiriko talked to Ichihime.
"In fact, I knocked down the beehive, but who knew that its health bar was so thin? Then, the beehive that fell to the ground turned into a giant poisonous bee."
Ichihime shared the information she knew.
"What the hell?"
Tongzi turned around immediately.
"It's about the same as that..."
Yiji raised her hand and pointed at the hive in the melee area. Under a burst of splash damage, the hive fell down under the heavy weight, and a queen bee over three meters long was formed on the spot.
【Yellow-striped Queen Bee（★★）】
The queen bee is also marked with two stars on her head to symbolize her elite status.
buzzing-
There was also a muffled sound coming from the sky.
Another queen bee arrives.
[Highly Toxic Queen Bee (★★)]
The conditions for the spawning of elite monsters in Aincrad are still unknown, and I didn't expect it to be in this form.
The appearance of two queen bees instantly suppressed the battlefield, and ordinary needle bees and poisonous bees were destroyed under the pressure of the queen bees.
"Tsk..."
Tongzi couldn't help but curl her lips, feeling it was a pity, but there were still two elite queen bees on the scene.
The damage to the hive causes the Yellow-striped Queen Bee to also generate a layer of "Rage" Buff.
The two elite queen bees confronted each other, and then a fight broke out.
The Yellow-striped Queen Bee has a higher basic attack, and the Toxic Queen Bee will add a layer of poison when causing damage.
With each side having their own advantages, the battle was evenly matched.
"let's go."
Ichiki didn't think they could handle two elite monsters.
"No, wait a minute."
The health of the two elite queen bees is constantly decreasing, but Tongzi is not ready to stop. The importance of elite monsters in the early stage of the game is self-evident. This is a rare opportunity.
Sa!
The yellow-striped queen bee used her stinger to destroy the wings of the poisonous queen bee, and the latter fell to the ground. Seeing this, Tongzi immediately drew his sword and stood up. The health of both queen bees was less than 15% left. Any further hesitation would be useless.
"Yiji, stop that yellow-striped queen bee!"
Kiriko started by performing "Angry Sting" to deal a powerful blow to the poisonous queen bee.
"I try my best!"
Yiji did not use any skills, and her combat experience was still negative, but when the yellow-striped queen bee got close, she still used straight punches to fight the enemy.

……
The bright red flash pierced into the torso of the poisonous queen bee, but missed the vital point, only reducing the target's health by 11%. This was because the opponent's armor was pierced by the tail stinger of the yellow-striped queen bee.
Purple poisonous mist began to emanate from the body of the poisonous queen bee, and Tongzi immediately distanced himself to avoid it.
The only attributes of elite monsters are their health and size which are higher than those of ordinary monsters of the same kind. Their speed is not enhanced, so you won't be killed instantly if you are a little careful.
Tongzi's attack decisively attracted the hatred of the poisonous queen bee to himself.
——Poisonous fog gushed out!
The Toxic Queen Bee uses a wide-range skill.
A poisonous swamp is formed, covering the surrounding area.
Tongzi was well prepared. After all, she had just observed the skills that the poisonous queen bee used on the yellow-striped queen bee. The poisonous swamp covered an area of 30 meters in radius. She retreated to 31 meters and then accumulated strength.
Three, two, one...
He counted down silently in his heart, and when the last second fell, Tongzi immediately launched an attack on the poisonous queen bee.
Angry stab!

【Ke Er+136】

The body of the Toxic Queen Bee turned into data and disappeared, and Kiriko saw a green weapon falling to the ground.

Too bad it's not a sword weapon.
Boom!
The loud noise from behind brought Kiriko back to her senses. She turned around and watched Ichihime who was fighting fiercely with the Yellow-striped Queen Bee. The opponent's movements were flexible, and when the Yellow-striped Queen Bee launched three consecutive stabs, she was able to dodge them one after another.
Then find the right time to deliver a powerful punch.
However, the damage is not high, only causing the target to lose 2% of their health.
"No, I can't hit him!"
Yiji immediately leaned back and did several backflips, and after landing, she took a cat-legged stance to defend herself.
It's not that the technique is bad, it's just that the damage is too bad.
Kiriko took a deep breath to adjust her state, and released two "Angry Stabs" in succession, which consumed a lot of her spirit.
Unlike "Slash" and "Horizontal Slash", the damage multiplier of "Angry Stab" is very high, but the cost is that the mental consumption is also extremely high. However, if this move is not used against elite monsters, it will only produce results similar to Yiji, that is, the defense-breaking effect is minimal.
"Drink!"
Tongzi roared angrily, a red murderous light flashed, and he pierced the head of the yellow-striped queen bee with a sword.
A hit on the weak spot!
