My slow journey to infinity

He sat up in the constant-temperature curing box, and the nutrient solution flowed down his thin, pale body.

Aqua Regia removed the respiratory support from his face, and the air with the smell of disinfectant was poured into his mouth, nose and chest.

The first thing he did when he woke up was, of course, to take out his clothes from the cabinet under the incubator and put on...well, it was another hospital gown. This was the clothes Wang Shui brought from the world of Sword Art Online, because there was no Special effects, so there is no extra cost to the concretization.

I'm back. I don't know if it's because of the long period of time acceleration. Wang Shui's thinking is a little dull now. Even his experience in the fantasy world has gradually become a little blurry. Everything is like a dream he had last night.

In the field of vision, his biological brain computer [Array Computing Terminal] told him that 15 days had passed since he set out to run the mission.

Did you lie down for 13 days? (Original task accelerated by 300 times)

Wearing a hospital gown, Wang Shui walked out of the morgue-like nursing room and this self-service hospital with slow steps. He walked towards the repair shop in his memory while trying to remember it.

Fortunately, it’s just that the experience has become blurry, and the memory of learning knowledge is still very clear. Well, for some people’s memories, as long as they think about it deliberately, they will become clear.

It seems to be a way for time acceleration technology to protect the mind from the effects of jet lag, which feels very magical.

Wang Shui moved slowly, taking stock of his income and expenditure while adapting to his body.

The cost of the first mission was not huge. He only ate a little of the large amount of supplies he bought, and not a single bullet was used. The most expensive items were tickets and orphan certificates.

As for his gains, excluding the points for materializing the NERvGear and restoring the body, in terms of money, he earned about 2,000 points, which was a huge loss.

The extraordinary level has been raised by one level. There are many ways to increase the upper limit of physical fitness. The extraordinary level is a very safe one, but this level increase is useless. You have to upgrade.

In addition, there is a golden quality item that Wang Shui is looking forward to, which is now placed in his almost overcrowded awakener space.

[Hand of Hermitage (Gloves·Gold)]

[Level: None]

[Attribute increase: "Perception" +2, "Thinking" +2]

[Characteristic 1·Secret Perspective: Obtain a mechanical perspective perspective, increase the perspective observation ability based on the "Perception" attribute, and can only be effective on inanimate or mechanical units. 】

————

Very thin, tough, low-key and luxurious leather gloves... When he saw the word "hermit cultivation", Wang Shui thought it was some occult prop. He almost forgot that those who have awakened in the life department will basically only get rewards related to the life department.

To say whether it is strong or not, it must be very strong. The golden rarity is displayed here. This is one of the few golden equipments that I have seen with my own eyes after Aqua Regia traveled through it. The attribute bonus alone is terrifying.

But what do you think it is used for... Wang Shui has been repairing mechanical products for half a year, but he has never used the [Alchemy Silver Coin], and what is in his hands is not a big dissection, and it also requires clairvoyance?

Besides, aqua regia doesn’t know how to do alchemy... Now it seems that it is better to sell it for a higher value, or to learn alchemy and try the effect first? It would be a pity not to play with the golden equipment you got.

In addition to this piece of equipment, Wang Shui's biggest gain is the growth of attribute values ​​and two new skills - [Computer Comprehensive] and [Martial Arts Foundation]. They seem to be very basic, but Wang Shui spent a lot of money on these two skills. He spent a lot of time and received a lot of beatings.

Alas, take your time, it's a good start. This sword journey made Wang Shui quite satisfied, but it was a pity that he didn't participate in the industrial carnival in the end.

Before [Mind Lock] was ready, Wang Shui also slipped out and had another duel with Kirito. Kirito, who was equipped with [Sword Skill Blade Bullet] and [Blade Bullet Powered Armor], had never fought before. Aqua regia has achieved success, this is the last happy point of aqua regia.

If he had time, Wang Shui would also like to recreate the [First Generation Mobile Armor] in the world of SAO. Oh no, the first generation did not have a [Super Mobility Module]. It should be called [The First Generation Powered Tank Armor]. .

Wang Shui had a lot of things in his mind that were outdated in the "Infinite Security Zone", but for SAO, which had just entered the industrial era, it was simply alien technology—it seemed like it was indeed alien technology?

It's a pity. It's a pity that when Aqua Regia slipped away, the floating city "Aincrad" had already reached the 99th floor. Kayaba left at that time to lead the Blood Alliance Knights to hold a strategy meeting. He was already preparing to join the players. Clear 100 floors.

Wang Shui has no time. When SAO is cleared and all the server files are deleted, his data will not be transferred. But as long as he puts [Seed of the World] into his NERvGear, there is a 90% chance that the main mission will be over.

It’s just that before the Industrial Revolution, Aqua Regia didn’t fill in the values ​​with both eyes closed when he helped redesign the strength of monsters. As we get to the later stages of the game, the productivity brought about by the player base of more than 200,000 becomes even more terrifying. What Wang Shui was worried about before entering the game finally happened.

In fact, Wang Shui had some other ideas at the time, such as transferring the [Seed of the World] to Shino's NERvGear helmet first, but if it was not done properly, Kayaba Akihiko would discover it. Even though there was a teacher-student fight, Wang Shui didn't want to fiddle with one. The spirit of a person who is about to commit suicide.

Everything is for stability. As for the regrets of not having fun, just turn them into deep and beautiful memories.

Comforting himself, Wang Shui's steps did not stop. The sky is getting dark, and the surrounding buildings have changed from a steel jungle to a dilapidated masonry style.

Strictly speaking, Craftsman Street is not a slum. To the north is the palace complex in the old city where Flower Street is located, although it has been transformed into a super bathhouse and a large number of entertainment facilities. To the south is the highly steel-clad new city, and to the east are some private villas. Group, this is usually where the Awakened team or hunting group resides.

To the west is a huge slum area, where locals living in poverty, outsiders who come here inexplicably, extremely poor awakened people, and gangsters with poor business abilities gather here.

Craftsman Street is not in the middle of the city. From the perspective of the entire Tiefeng City, Craftsman Street is to the northwest, making it easier for neighbors from the east and west to come and repair things.

The repair shop where Wang Shui works is on the branch road to the west of Artisan Street. Well, it's just close to the slums.

When Wang Shui, who was wearing a hospital gown, wandered to the door of the store, he happened to see that the store door was open and walked in. There was no figure of the mixed-race little giant Kazan in the room, but the iron door of the stairs leading to the second floor was opened.

Got robbed? No, most thieves will run away when they see Kazan. Those who can defeat Kazan will probably not come to such a garbage dump. Things may be even more terrifying:

Is Brother Hei back?

Wang Shui climbed up to the second floor with a solemn expression. This place turned out to be the maintenance shop warehouse and was also Wang Shui's temporary residence for half a year. The entire second floor is a large, transparent room with a small amount of maintenance machinery and a few containers against the wall. There is a single bed and a small desk in the innermost place by the window.

The light was dim, but Wang Shui still saw the bastard on his bed at a glance.

Pa~

The snap of his fingers roused the light, and Wang Shui, smelling more and more alcohol, came to his desk with a look of disgust on his face and sat down in his beloved sofa-style armchair.

"Hmm~ It's daylight again? Um... Oh, it's Shuizai who's back. Why have you been out for so long? Huh? Are you still injured?"

After half a year, oh no...counting SAO's somatosensory time, it should be said that it was two years later, Wang Shui met his beloved Hei Ge again.

The handsome young man with blond hair who is turning on his phone in a hangover is the boss of Shui Wang, the owner of the repair shop, the most familiar face in Huajie, the humanoid alcohol filter who spends half of the day drunk and the other half of the time drinking. He has three people. The legend of the craftsman street who has girlfriends of various races - Brother Hei.

"I went away for 15 days and came back alive."

Alas, Shui Wang is so angry that he can't use it. Although he always curses Brother Hei for trouble, Brother Hei is still a very good person. When he took Shui Wang in, he only made a 70% overlord clause.

"Huh? You went to a low-intensity battlefield?"

"No, fantasy world."

"Where are the levels and danger scales?"

"One step at a time."

"Still injured?"

"Well... that's right."

Brother Hei wiped his face with some pain and said very sincerely:

"Would you like to consider going to Flower Street to make an appearance? I know a newly opened store. The hunting group behind it will help newcomers with combat missions. Moreover, you are in the life department and only open once every six months. It should be easy to sell with less commission... …”

"Brother Hei, you ****, Brother Hei! It's okay to leave wine stains all over my bed, but you still want to sell me! You have **** in your head!" Wang Shui stood up and scolded.

The handsome blond guy smiled and gestured with his thumb:

"I'm feeling comfortable. When I came back, I had a serious look on my face. I thought you had gone through some bloody battle and gained enlightenment. How was it? How was the harvest?"

"Fuck you, the life department has gained **, this smelly and long world has new skills, and now I can repair computers."

Although Wang Shui is relatively satisfied with himself, with regard to his little harvest, even if he exaggerates it ten times, he will not let Brother Hei look down upon him, so he should just talk about it a little bit.

"Eh? You have mastered the skills. I thought you would be stuck to death by your talent. Speaking of which, I found an awakener with the same talent as you, and spent two girls to get the information about acquiring skills from him. Tsk, What a big loss.”

This moved Wang Shui quite a bit. Although he was half a year late, Brother Hei still thought about his brother.

"Oh, I almost know it. It's nothing more than sufficient basic knowledge, coupled with sufficient training and actual combat."

Speaking of which, Wang Shui was not sure. When he acquired the skills in the SAO system, some were very easy and some were very difficult. There was no pattern at all.

"Eh? Don't you have enough basic attributes? If you roughly master the basic knowledge, you can master the skills with sufficient or even surplus corresponding attributes. Isn't that how you train?"

"ah?"

The two looked at each other in confusion. The handsome blond brother Hei was the first to laugh out loud. Then he skillfully took out a small iron box from his pocket, poured out a powerful sobering pill and ate it. Then he stood up shakily and said with a smile:

"It's so funny, your talent is rare enough, and most of them are reluctant to switch to the life system. I will find one who can survive to the second level. However, your information is still so inconsistent. Why don't you think about Huajie again? It’s a job that’s quite popular recently, and it’s definitely more profitable than working on machinery every day.”

Wang Shui didn't scold him any more, but he just wanted to cry. It turned out that he couldn't learn skills because his attributes were always very low, and he wasted half a year.

"There's no need to be so depressed. Anyway, you switched to the life department early. You just learned a few skills late, which don't help much in making money. Could it be that you still want to make a fortune by working hard? Be more open-minded. Look at those Aren’t all the guys with the same talent as you who don’t believe in fate almost dead? Be good and go to Flower Street with me to relax.”

The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Wang Shui replied aggrievedly:

"Brother Hei, you have been so immoral all day long, are you really not afraid of God's punishment, or of being torn into pieces by your girlfriends one day?"

"It's so funny. It's just a dismemberment. You have no imagination. I really don't want to sell you this time. How about I invite you to go shopping inside and let you see the new world!"

"No, Brother Hei, don't be like this. I'm afraid. I can see it. If you have anything to do, just tell me directly. I was treated by you last time. Good guy, dozens of suppliers thought I was your agent. Every time I go to the bathroom, there are debt collectors lurking on the ceiling. Please brother, maybe we can discuss the issue again."

"Huh? Why did you still go to the toilet? Didn't you have [Array·Annihilation Cycle] engraved on your body?"

"Brother, that alchemy array costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Even the second-level awakened ones don't have one for everyone."

"Go and carve. We'll carve tomorrow! I've paid for it! Today we two brothers will go to Huajie to have fun!"

With that said, Brother Hei, who had completely sobered up, pulled Wang Shui up. He was about 1.9 meters tall. He tilted his body and hugged Wang Shui's shoulders. He then leaned into Wang Shui's ear and whispered:

"Okay, stop looking like you're going to die. I know you're smart. Don't tell secrets. Brother, I have a good job for you. It's definitely not life-threatening. Even Kazan's brain can do it. It’s a job for one person to run alone. And he has already made two round trips, and the third trip has been handed over and is on his way back. It’s 50,000 yuan per trip, and it only takes five days to go back and forth. How about just driving and not fighting? "

No matter how idiotic Kazan is, he still has a second level. With the racial bonus of the mixed-race little giant, the "Physique" attribute has more than 20 points. He can chew steel and drink lava. Is that something a normal person would dare to rob!

"No, Brother Hei, it's not serious. I just earned you thirty-five thousand in five days. This small amount of money is nothing to you. You see, you didn't take me in for half a year just to watch me die for fun, right?" "

Although Wang Shui dared to scold Brother Hei, it was because Wang Shui understood that Brother Hei didn't care about being scolded, but it was precisely because Wang Shui knew Brother Hei that he was particularly wary of Brother Hei's enthusiasm and showed such kindness. This comparison was definitely not suppressed. What a fart.

"Who said that the money you earned for me is all yours, and I will really give you a set of alchemy arrays. There is only one requirement. This job was originally to deliver the goods to [Rusty Sword Fortress]. I hope You can take a little more time and hand the things over to Sylvia with your own hands.”

Um? !

"The leader of the [Penumbra of Destruction] hunting group, [Penumbra of the Moon Sylvia]?! The god of death who can summon the blood moon with his eyes!?"

Aqua regia made his legs weak.

"Brother~ That's a fifth-level boss! He's the backbone of our area. You're going to sacrifice me!"

"Why are you so soft? Just stand still! There is no danger anywhere. Sylvia is in [Rusty Sword Fortress], which is the safest zone next to [Iron Front City]. I just want you to deliver a courier. Awakened warriors of the combat type cannot enter the Governor's Castle, so I asked you to run an errand. Let's do this. The first trip will count you 100,000, and the subsequent 50,000. This is a long trip, and ordinary people don't have this kind of access!"

No, the more generous you are, the more panicked I will be. There are so many girls throwing themselves at you that you don’t even bother to open your arms. Why do you have to court the queen of the control area, bro!

Just tell me if it's too late!
