Regardless of the fox's evil deeds, Yu Zhuanjin and Mitt continued to explore the wild. They had already added each other as friends, so they could travel together as soon as they went online.
"Miss Miko."
Mitt unconsciously referred to Yuzhong Jin in this way, mainly because the latter's nickname was really funny.
Just like in the Shenzhou region, most people cannot call their netizens Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, or similar names.
In the end, he could only settle for the second best and call the other party "Miss Miko" as a nickname.
"What's the matter, Mr. Mitte?"
Of course Yuzhongjin didn't mind. Being called "Miss Miko" was not something she had done for a single day or two.
"Have you heard? A red-named player has recently appeared in the mountains near the Starting City. She PKs with other players in the wild every night. Many people have died at her hands."
Mitt mentioned this to Yuzhongjin.
"do not know."
Yuzhongjin usually doesn't pay attention to these trivial matters. Whenever Mitt goes offline at night, she lets Kayaba Akihiko open a separate space and then face elite monsters to brush up on his skill proficiency.
"That red-named player is super powerful. Last night he had a head-on confrontation with a team of ten. The captain of that team was the blood-robed man who dominated the entire Legend server back then, but he still failed to defeat the opponent."
Mitt opened the official forum, which recorded the battle situation in detail. He then said, "Although we didn't take down the rampant assassin, we also got a lot of information. For example, the opponent's ID is Yang Yangski, who is good at using daggers, and his weapon proficiency level is likely to have risen to the upper realm. There are many moves used by the opponent that other dagger players don't know."
Yang Yangski?
Of course, Yuzhongjin knew that the other person was Tamamonomae. To be honest, he had not paid attention to the other person in recent days. It turned out that he had caused such a big incident.
"Well, even though that red-named player is very arrogant, I think Miss Miko is more powerful."
Mitte was speaking from her heart. In her eyes, Yu Zhuanjin's archery skills had never failed even once.
Mitte was unable to give an effective evaluation of the fact that he could use throwing weapons to such a level. This was beyond her understanding.
"How far are you from reaching the next level?"
Yu Zhuanjin asked knowingly.
"My weapon proficiency is now 87 points, and I only need 13 points left. I should be able to reach the highest level today."
Mitte couldn't wait any longer. Five days had passed since the game test and more than ten players had reached the highest level. However, she had been delayed for a long time in the early stages because she was not familiar with the weapons. Now that she had gradually mastered the scythe, it was time to catch up with the progress of the game at the forefront.
"Have you ever considered trying to fight elite monsters?"
Yuzhongjin asked a question inexplicably.
"Elite monster?"
Hearing this, Mitt couldn't help but turn his head away, then sighed, shook his head and said, "No, even if it's a one-star elite monster or a boar king, according to the forum posts, it still requires at least one player of the Ascendant Realm to lead the team, and the other nine support players to assist, a total of ten people are needed to capture it."
“This is just the more conservative standard configuration.”
What Yuzhuanjin meant was that as long as one operates properly, it is not impossible to conquer the city.
"But all the elite boar kings in the mountains near the starting city have been controlled by krypton gold players."
SAO has not yet added a recharge function, and even Kayaba Akihiko has not designed it. The krypton gold that Mitt mentioned is a group of players who already have rich assets in reality. They use money to bribe other test players, accumulate the resources obtained by several or even dozens of people for themselves, and thus develop rapidly.
Nowadays, among the more than ten players who have reached the highest level, except for a few exceptions, all of them are players who spend money on gaming.
"Besides, these elite monsters spawn very infrequently, only three or five a day. Even if there are occasionally wild boar kings that are missed by kryptonian players, it won't be our turn."
Mitt talked about the difficulties faced by solo players like them.
"The elite monster I'm talking about is not the Boar King."
As one of the people behind SAO, Yuzhongjin naturally knew the conditions and locations for all monsters to spawn, so he raised his hand and pointed to the distant forest and continued, "There is a three-star elite monster deep in that forest."
"real or fake?"
It was also the first time that Mitt heard about the three-star elite monster. This kind of information could not be found on the official website forum. After all, no one would be kind enough to reveal the resource points that were discovered with great difficulty.
“I was passing by and saw it.”
Yuzhongjin also gave another piece of information: "The elite monster is in the form of a mantis. As you know, mantis monsters are more likely to drop sickle weapons."
"However, a three-star elite monster is more difficult to defeat than a one-star boar king. We can't do it alone, or at this stage, no one can do it, including krypton gold players."
Mitt suggested tentatively: "How about we first reach the Shangda realm today, and then form a large team. As long as I am the only sickle user in the team, if a sickle weapon is dropped, it will have to belong to me."
"of course can."
Yu Zhuanjin smiled slightly, as she happened to have other candidates for the team in mind.
After several days of training, Mitt gradually became proficient in using the giant sickle. He started with cutting and then went through a process of transformation.
Three knife lights flashed in an instant, and the blue-spotted poison frog that jumped out of the swamp immediately had its health reduced by two-thirds. Mitt adjusted his posture as soon as he landed and delivered the final blow.
——Focus your mind and make decisions!
Twist your body to gather strength, and slash diagonally to the left and right.
After so many days of accumulated combat experience, Mitt also learned a lot of new skills.
The standard "Weakness Perception", the "Moon-gazing Type" that increases the damage of sickle weapons, and the "Pig-wounding Type" that improves resistance when equipped with sickle weapons.
Even without Yuzhongjin's long-range support, Mitt can fight alone.
The tall figure hovered in the air for half a second, and in this moment of less than half a second, Mitt once again shot out three sword lights, with a gorgeous posture.
[Combat Experience +145]
【Ke Er+13】
[Weapon·Scythe Proficiency +1]
[Current weapon proficiency level: Scythe·Shangda (100/10000)]
"Huh!" Mitt felt very satisfied after completing the upgrade of his weapon proficiency level, but when he saw what was required for the next stage, he immediately shuddered.
How did it increase a hundred times?!
“The road ahead is long and arduous~”
Yuzhuanjin couldn't help laughing.
To put it bluntly, the cultivation stage is for beginners, who are just barely getting started. The process of reaching great success is just the beginning, and until great success is barely considered a small achievement.
If one can reach a high level of accomplishment in this virtual reality, he can be considered a master in the real world. After all, it is a game of soul infiltration, and knowledge and reactions are inherited from each other.
"By the way, has Miss Miko also arrived at Shangda?"
Mitt suddenly remembered this. During this period of time, he was teaming up with Yuzhongjin, and the latter always gave the final kill to her, unless there were a large number of enemies, he would go for the last kill.
"Ah."
Yu Zhuanjin nodded slightly, and adjusted the character panel to the highest level.
"As expected, Miss Miko's skills are so amazing, they must be far superior to mine."
Mitt agreed.
After reaching the highest level, the next step is to find suitable teammates to defeat three-star elite monsters together.
Yu Zhuanjin directly called up the locations of all players from the background and found the few people she had targeted.
……
"Everyone, try harder!"
In a ruin far away from the starting city, several players were besieging a giant lizard monster. The leading female player boosted morale and continued to launch fierce attacks on the monster with a silver one-handed sword in hand.
【Jungle Monitor Lizard (★)】
There was a star rating marked on the head of the giant lizard monster, which was obviously an elite wild monster. However, it was suppressed during their hunting.
"Yuuki!"
Another female player holding a spear in the back calculated the time and immediately shouted: "Be careful, it's about to release a control skill!"
"Understood, Sister Lan."
Yuki retreated a few steps slowly, only to see the monitor lizard use its tail flick skill. If hit, the person would be stunned. Although it only lasted about a second, it was fatal enough.
"And then the onslaught!"
The one in charge of commanding the tactics was Yuuki's sister, Lan. They had already collected most of the data and intelligence before launching the offensive, and knew everything about elite monsters and jungle monitors. So they called out to the big shield players on the other side: "Go ahead!"
Three big shield players protected Yuki. The jungle monitor's attack would not stop until it hit the target, so the only way was to resist.
boom!
With a muffled sound, the jungle monitor fell into a brief dizziness due to the violent collision.
"Now, gather and attack!"
The spear user and Lan also rushed forward, ready to take down the elite monster together with their teammates.
——Horizontal arc slash!
Yuuki swung his sword twice at the target.
Snake bite! Reverse wheel!
Then use the other two skills.
Break through the air!
Lan held a gun and used the charge skill to get close, then quickly used the combination of "Windmill" and "Chidori".
The jungle monitor's health bar also began to plummet.
In the blink of an eye, nothing is left.
[Combat Experience +750]
【Ke Er+76】
[Weapon·Lance Proficiency +12]
"Yeah, win!"
Yuuki couldn't help but jump up on the spot.
"Amazing."
The few big shields helping out nearby were also impressed. They were just going through the motions and didn't deal much damage, but they still gained a lot of combat experience.
The equipment glowing green fell to the ground.
[Fierce Lizard Armor (Excellent)]
【Protection I】
【Thorns I】
"You guys can use this equipment. We who play with large shields all wear heavy armor, and we can't share it."
A large shield player scratched his head.
"Thank you!"
Yuuki smiled brightly.
"What's there to thank for? We were just paddling in the first place. I think even without us, you two can defeat that elite monster on your own."
Another big shield player also felt emotional.
"No, we can't withstand the onslaught of the monitor lizard."
Lan said very objectively.
"interesting."
It turns out that there is really no strategy without that skill.
The big shield player who was originally flattering him suddenly felt ashamed, and then asked: "By the way, I see that the skills you use are different from those of the sword users and spear users I have seen before. Could it be that you have all reached the upper realm?"
"With a little effort, you can get up there."
Yuuki still kept smiling.
She and her sister Lan are both AIDS patients in real life. Their eating and drinking are solved by direct intravenous nutrient solution. They stay in virtual reality 24 hours a day because here they will not feel the pain of their bodies being constantly eroded by the virus.
They have twice as much time as normal people, so naturally their in-game economy is multiples of that of ordinary people.
"Next time we need it, we will ask you for help."
