My system is broken will

Feng Chen didn't bother to listen to Kayaba Akihiko's words, and directly took out the teleportation crystal and planned to teleport to the maze area.

However, the crystal failed.

Fortunately, it is invalid rather than invalid. If it is invalid, it cannot be used. If it is invalid, it is a waste.

"Oh? It seems that there is actually one person who is not panicking."

Originally, Kayaba Akihiko should have disappeared after speaking and then become a player in the game.

Fengchen's reaction successfully attracted Kayaba Akihiko's attention.

"It's nothing more than a game of life and death. Wouldn't it be great to complete the 100th floor? Hurry up and remove the [Crystal Invalid Zone]."

"Interesting, your reaction is definitely the most unique among these people."

The eyes of the players in the square were focused on Feng Chen.

"Don't you want to see us conquer the 100th floor? Then I will conquer it for you."

The voice in the red cloak was surprised by Feng Chen's words, and then his body shook and he actually laughed.

"Very well, very well, but you should have heard what I just said, right? If you die, you are really dead."

"It's so noisy! If you think I can't or conquer it to the end, then give it a try!"

Fengchen admires Kayaba Akihiko's talent, but hates him for using human life as an experiment.

The same goes for Destiny, and so does Kayaba Akihiko. Do the so-called geniuses of mankind really like to use other people's lives for experiments?

"It really... made me think of some bad things."

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Kayaba Akihiko's character completely collapsed at this moment.

"You now have 30,000 koels, which is the most among the players. You have also killed treasure monsters and key monsters on the first floor of the maze area. However, among the 1,000 players in the closed beta, I did not find you."

"So I can be sure that you have talents and skills that are inferior to everyone here combined. If you are not a beta tester, then you can definitely be named [a beta tester among beta testers]!"

This guy... is he talking casually? Does he really love this world so much?

Feng Chen has read the original work, and SAO is just a prototype, not Kayaba Akihiko's real goal.

It's just that I saw hope for my goal.

"It's unimaginable that I would become his hope..."

The thing that Feng Chen hates the most is being stared at by everyone. Because then, he will be unable to sit still and want to do other things to divert his attention.

"Then, is it okay if I take someone away? I will tell her the details of the game."

"Of course! However, I have a small gift for you. Please check your inventory."

There is an extra mirror in everyone's inventory.

"Now, please take it out."

After taking out the mirror, everyone took a look.

According to the law of light reflection, a virtual image will be formed in the mirror.

But the person in the mirror gradually changed.

From the image in his game to a face he is familiar with.

"Hey! What's going on?!"

"Why do we change back to our original forms?!"

"Ah! You... aren't you a woman?"

It seems that just like in the original game, each player has transformed into his or her true appearance.

The sense of realism has been improved a lot.

"So you believe this is reality, right? Then, the large-scale online role-playing game - Sword Art Online is officially launched!"

He didn't say anything, which made Feng Chen disappointed.

"Silica, do you want to go to the maze area together?"

The other party is also a [Beast Tamer], so it will be much easier if we act together, right?

It's definitely not because Feng Chen went to invite her because she was a loli, right?

Not?

"Huh?! Why... why? A player like you who can attract the attention of developers must survive to the end, right? A person like me who has no fighting ability is completely useless, right?"

Negative psychology is normal among SAO players.

"If you think so, then you have lost. I believe you don't want to lose to Kayaba Akihiko, right?"

"But... you can't win at all. Just leveling up is so slow, and there are also equipment, bosses and so on."

Feng Chen flicked Silica's forehead and dismissed this idea.

"If we form a team, the efficiency of upgrading will be much higher. Equipment can be obtained by beating the BOSS. We only need to go to the BOSS with the people in the strategy team, right?"

[Strategy Group] is composed of players with stronger skills and strength among the players.

There were only a few dozen people in the [Strategy Group] at the beginning, because many players didn’t care about the 100-level strategy progress of [Aincrad].

Therefore, Kayaba Akihiko has done a good job in changing the focus of players from the virtual simulation world to the "authentic 100-level guide to the virtual simulation world".

"Who will team up with me...My [familiar] is not a very practical type, and my combat effectiveness is also very weak."

There are twenty floors in the maze area. Only by clearing each floor can you find the BOSS room.

The difficulty of the BOSS, even if it is at the same level as the key monster, is definitely much stronger than the key monster.

At least, the BOSS on that floor can defeat hundreds of key monsters in the maze area, right?

"Aren't I inviting you to form a team right now?"

"But..."

"I'll give you five seconds to think about it. When I was attacking the key monsters on the first floor, I met a player named Kirito. He is very powerful. Moreover, I have just added him as a friend."

If you don't team up with me, then I'll find someone else - that's what it means.

"five..."

"Four..."

"three..."

"two..."

"y..."

"I accept!"

Feng Chen put his ear close to Silica, looking like "I didn't hear anything."

"What did you just say? I'm a little deaf, sorry."

"I said I accept your invitation to form a team!"

With that said, he clicked Accept on the team invitation interface in front of him.

The moment Feng Chen accepted the invitation, he used the [Teleportation Crystal] in his hand.

The deepest part of the first floor of the maze area.

The key monster has been killed, and the way to the second floor is ahead.

"The second level...are also lizardmen, but are they red lizardmen?"

These red lizardmen are definitely not as difficult as the previous key monster, the red lizard leader, but they are definitely much stronger than the mobs on the first level.

"Take this."

What Feng Chen gave Silica was a short sword, or rather he made it by imitating the short-blade shape of [Blood Knight: Moon Glory].

The materials are from the treasure chest I just got. To make them... there is a system. Why do you do it?

Although the system can't help much, it's still no problem making weapons or something...

Bar?

Silica thought of ten thousand excuses, but Feng Chen only needed one sentence to defeat her.

"I don't want my teammates to hold me back."

The girl had no choice but to put away the dagger.
