Planting the World Tree From Pirates

hotel.

It's a bit like a real hotel, most of which are separate rooms.

The doors of every room were locked, and it was eerily silent.

If it is said that everyone in the tavern is indulgent and wanton.

Then the hotel is a temporary home for everyone.

Security and privacy are the top priorities for everyone.

After the players entered the hotel, they closed the door immediately, without any intention to communicate with others.

Makino knew that this was probably one of the consequences of the sharp decline in player morality.

Because there is an interval between upgrade resource refreshes, it is naturally impossible to meet the upgrade needs of all players.

Then, some players began to have bad thoughts.

Squatting, attacking other players, grabbing equipment, and grabbing Cole have become more and more frequent recently.

If it wasn't for the experience itself that couldn't be grabbed, maybe some players would even grab experience directly from other players.

This also caused the players' trust in each other to plummet!

It has to be said that the heartbreak is faster than everyone imagines.

The only good thing is that there have been no murders yet.

but.

As for the last bottom line of this layer, I don't know how long it will last.

Never try to test people's hearts!

After Makino and Kirito separated, they each entered the room.

Thinking of the upcoming boss battle, Muye has nothing to worry about.

As for the fear of being unable to sleep, it is even more impossible.

However, everything is foreshadowed, and Makino retrieved his equipment for the first time.

Step by step, step by step, thanks to Tong Ren, the equipment on Muye's body is already the most top-notch equipment that can be achieved on the first floor.

The steel sword that was purchased in the second town has already been replaced by the equipment [Lost Frost] that is common to all professions.

This equipment is quite powerful, I dare not say it is "the best sword in the village", but it is at least enough for Muye to use the fourth floor.

Most importantly, weapons and equipment can also be enhanced in SAO.

The condition for strengthening is to collect enough strengthening materials, spend a certain amount of money, and ask professional NPCs to help strengthen them.

After all, he has monopolized the upgrade resources of several small towns, such as treasure chests, props, materials, money, etc., Muye really does not lack.

As for why it has not been strengthened until now, there is only one reason - strengthening equipment is a test of luck.

The European Emperor may strengthen the best attributes at his fingertips, if the non-chief... It is very possible to return to the pre-liberation overnight!

After thinking about it, Makino couldn't hold back in the end.

After all, the temptation of the best equipment is still hard to resist.

Even if his face is black, it's a big deal that the boss battle is a little harder, but Muye is still very confident in his sword skills and psychological quality.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to go to the blacksmith shop next door.

In SAO, the weapon enhancement system is also relatively simple.

The only things that can be strengthened are: attack power, attack speed, durability, assembly level, crit chance, and cooldown reduction.

However, the bonuses that a piece of equipment can provide will definitely not be so comprehensive.

There are probably only one or two of them that can improve the three aspects, and that is a very high-quality equipment.

Of course, it is also possible that several aspects can be strengthened, and then all attribute enhancements are very mediocre.

It's up to the players themselves!

Makino's [Lost Frost and Cold] can only provide attack power bonuses and durability bonuses, so there are only these two aspects that can be strengthened.

In this regard, Makino has no objection.

After players overcome the fear in their hearts, the progress of the strategy will have a high explosive period, and the replacement of equipment will be faster and faster.

Therefore, what Makino really needs to strengthen is actually only one indicator, and that is attack power.

Blacksmith shop, the old blacksmith repeatedly asked whether Makino really wanted to strengthen.

Not only that, but also highlighted the risk of strengthening equipment,

And he is not responsible for the failure of reinforcement and the like.

to this.

Makino was a little speechless. I have to say that Kayaba Akihiko designed the NPC design really well.

In some ways, it's really very human-like.

certainly.

Here I have to mention the technology of the Sword Art Online world. In this near-future world, artificial intelligence technology is actually quite developed.

The more typical one is "Yuyi", her intelligence is not inferior to that of human beings at all.

After thinking about it clearly, Makino directly chose to strengthen the equipment.

Then, if the equipment of Frost and Cold is left behind, it will directly prompt +1 in terms of attack power.

Muye was instantly overjoyed. In reality, Muye is a great swordsman, and his knowledge of swords is not what most people can imagine.

After attacking +1, Makino could clearly feel the coldness of this sword.

Strengthening is like a gamble, and it can't be stopped from the beginning.

Soon, the attacks of Frost Frost will show "+2", "+3", "+4".

After reaching "+4", Muye's heart was in his throat.

Because, the further down the road, each time Muye improves one attribute, the required resources are multiplied.

And these resources are all Muye has worked hard to save over the past month.

I have to say, things are so amazing.

Obviously, Sword Art Online is just a world that can't even be considered low-level martial arts, but perhaps because of the substantial increase in the danger level, Muye is even more concerned about gains and losses than the previous world.

Sure enough, expectation and investment are always proportional.

Do you want to continue betting again?

Makino hesitated, but after a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and continued to strengthen.

When Makino consumed a lot of materials again, the strengthening effect actually plummeted from the "+4" effect to "+1".

In an instant, Makino's face turned green.

Blood loss, blood loss!

In the end, Muye chose to continue to invest, and he would not give up until all the promotion materials were completely consumed.

In the repeated ups and downs, the upgrade materials on Muye's body were eventually consumed.

Seeing that the final boosting effect showed "Attack +8", Makino couldn't help his eyelids jumping wildly.

It's so exciting!

Because in the first few games, his enhancement data plummeted from "+7" to "+3".

Fortunately, the last few lucks were not bad, otherwise it would be really lost.

I have to say that this reinforcement system is really a pit.

But fortunately, the end result was quite gratifying.

Holding the attacking "+8" Yiluo Shuanghan in his hand, Mu Ye immediately felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Remaining Frostbite with a strengthening +8 can definitely be regarded as an artifact in the lower layers.

If it is said that this sword used to be enough for Muye to use four layers, now it is not too much of a problem to use eight or nine layers.

As for the first layer, that is really unparalleled.

After returning to the hotel, Makino's heart was still agitated.

However, it was quickly calmed down by Makino.

No matter how much more attributes you increase, it is only a good sword after all.

As a swordsman, Makino naturally understands and loves swords.

However, since his debut, Makino has used famous knives, the worst of which are good and fast knives.

The horizon is naturally beyond human reach!

As for the steel sword, Makino still kept it.

After all, he is a swordsman of the two swordsmanship. Although there is no unique skill [two swordsmanship] in the sword skill system, the two swordsmanship itself is something that Makino is proficient at.

Acting as a hole card, there is still no big problem.

After confirming the armor, shoes, and potion, Makino just fell back to sleep.

This night, I slept very sweetly.

the next day.

When he met Kirito again, Makino keenly felt that the armor on Kirito had undergone some changes.

The most obvious is that the shoes have been replaced by ordinary cloth boots with mobile boots that can move efficiently.

Looking at the [Sword of Tenacity] on Kirito's back, we can infer that Kirito is taking the agile attack route.

This point, in fact, is similar to Makino, both pay attention to high-speed and efficient damage.

This aspect involves the concept of the game!

Makino and Kirito didn't pay much attention to defense.

The style of the sword and shield combination played by Kayaba Akihiko is completely different.

In any case, the only thing that can be confirmed is that both Makino and Kirito are ready to fight.

In the early hours, the hotel was very lively, and we could see a large number of players gathering in twos and threes to eat breakfast.

"Have you all seen the flyer? Raiders the guard boss!"

"The guard boss... is very strong!"

"Very strong. According to the information, the defensive boss can play at least three consecutive fencing skills. The level is not clear, but it is definitely more than level 10. The burst damage is also very high, and the sword skills also have shock and stun effects..."

"Let's not mix it up, a boss of this level is not something we can defeat!"

"That's right, the vast majority of our talents are now at the third or fourth level, the gap is too big..."

"..."

Maybe it's because of Makino and Kirito, now in SAO, players don't hide the information as tightly as in the original.

The number of intelligence traffickers has been greatly reduced!

As for the basic information of the first-tier guard boss "Lllfang The Kobold Lord", most players still know it.

However, more and more people have confirmed the hypothesis of "closed beta and official server revision" put forward by Makino.

Nowadays, the players in the packaging and testing are generally afraid to rely too much on the information obtained during the packaging and testing.

However, this also had a negative effect.

Compared with the original game, ordinary players have become more afraid to fight.

Hearing the whispers in their ears from time to time, both Makino and Kirito could not help frowning slightly.

However, they both looked away immediately.

No matter how many people avoid, timid, and fear war, there are still people who dare to fight.

Needless to say, Makino, even Kirito himself never thought that he would be imprisoned in SAO forever.

What's more, if they don't fight, can they run away like this forever?

Impossible to think about!

With Kirito's understanding of Kayaba Akihiko, he created a world specifically, not for "raising pigs".

Along the way, many players are talking about it, even NPCs are no exception.

The meeting on the defense of the bosses initiated by Diabel has already become the hottest big news in Torbana.

but.

The two heard more, in fact... not fighting!

More extreme, even dare not go out of the town, let alone go to the labyrinth area to attack the big boss.

You must know that the players who can enter Torbana at this time are all brave after layers of screening.

Most of them don't dare to fight anymore, and one can imagine the state of those lower-level players.

The more they watched and heard, the more responsibility they felt.

The defending boss "Lllfang The Kobold Lord" on the 1st floor must be successful as soon as possible.

The venue for the strategy meeting that Diabelle selected was a location similar to a gladiatorial arena, with a very large area.

Obviously, Diabelle had considered a large number of participants and was afraid that the venue space would not be enough.

It's a pity that Diabel obviously thinks too much.

When Makino and Kirito arrived, there were very few people in the huge venue.

At first glance, there are not even fifty people.

This is too exaggerated!

You know, there are about 8,000 players who are still alive today.

There were at least five or six hundred players who stood out and successfully arrived in Torbana.

However, only so few dared to participate in the boss battle.

When I saw it, I saw a few familiar faces.

For example, Klein, the good friend of Kirito in the original book; the bald Agil with a big axe on his back; the king of the teeth of the Zaan people...

I have to mention Yawang here. Although he is a "Zuan's younger brother", he is the culprit who forced Kirito to call himself a "banner" and was forced to enter the long-term single-play mode.

but.

Being able to enter this place at this time can be regarded as a hero.

At the scene, the players were divided into several small groups, and the discussions were particularly lively.

Makino and Kirito could only stand aside.

In the end, the two chose a back seat to wait.

As time passed, the players who participated in the strategy meeting became more and more serious.

Because, since Makino and Kirito arrived, for a long time, no new players have joined.

This made the entire venue look more and more empty.

It will inevitably affect some morale!

No one would have imagined that Torbana, with nearly five to six hundred players, was willing to attack the guard boss together, but there were only so few people.

Although, these players are almost enough.

However, now it can be resurrected indefinitely, no less than during the beta test period.

Any power is precious.

When a player wearing a thick cloak and looking very strange entered the venue, no new players entered the venue.

And Diabel, the host of the strategy meeting, could only announce the official start of the strategy meeting with a smile.

It has to be said that Diabel is indeed a very capable leader.

Although he has his own selfishness and Xiao Jiujiu, it is indeed not easy to gather these players together.

Not to mention, he has won the support and trust of the vast majority of players in a relatively short period of time.

But no matter what, the strategy meeting with only a few players still cast a psychological shadow on the hearts of everyone.

Diabel explained various information about the guard boss "LllfangTheKoboldLord", and the strategy meeting gradually became lively.

And Muye's eyes inevitably fell on the mysterious player wearing a cloak.
