The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated

Chapter 23 This game is not so hopeless!

With the first person opening his own small treasury to buy the intelligence booklet.

How can the rest of the people sit still?

Players near the front row:

"I want one too..."

"Please give me one too..."

Players in the back row are even more anxious:

"Take it easy in the front, and save some for the back."

Why is this so?

Of course it's because everyone wants to live better!

For more chances of survival!

For life!

What Li Xia grasped was the instinct of ordinary players to grasp at the life-saving straw when they were confused and afraid.

And the crowd's pursuit of the intelligence booklet far exceeded the expectations of Xia Zhijin, who was mixed in the crowd and prepared to be a shill.

She was originally going to be a shill.

In case no one supported her.

But now it seems that she is completely useless.

"Student Li Xia, you are really amazing."

"You have discovered and utilized this fleeting favorable factor in advance, which is really amazing."

The little girl's eyes sparkled.

Because only by standing in the crowd can you feel the urgency of the crowd from afar.

And thus realize the power of the person selling the survival manual.

When is the time when players gather the most?

It is undoubtedly the current time node.

In addition, when is the time when people are most turbulent and confused, and when they need a sense of security the most?

It is undoubtedly the current time node.

Therefore, it is easiest to sell anything that can help players save their lives at this time, even if it is just a piece of information.

It will be difficult in the future.

…

[Hidden Mission 12: The Richest Man. ]

[You are the richest player in the SAO game world. Maintaining this status can obtain additional free attribute points. Every 5 days the title lasts, 1 free attribute point is awarded. This task can only be triggered by the richest trialist in the game world. ]

"Ah this..."

Li Xia, who was selling a small book, suddenly received this message prompt, and the whole person was stunned: There is such a good thing?

"Closed beta tester, it's my turn, it's my turn, here are 300 gold coins, give me one."

"Closed beta tester, can you add me as a friend?"

"Closed beta tester, please don't sell all of them at once."

Some people got anxious when they saw the guy selling books in a daze.

The players in the back row got more and more impatient when they saw the pile of books placed by another guy getting shorter and shorter.

It's no wonder that those people in the back row were excited and anxious.

Didn't they hear what they said?

The quantity is limited, first come first served!

No matter if there will be second-hand dealers after this, at least for now, you have to get one first!

What's more, the small book contains precious information provided by closed beta testers.

Compared to these, 300 gold coins are really not much for them.

Of course.

There is another important reason why everyone is so eager to buy. That is: after reading the contents of the intelligence manual, the first few dozen buyers all looked excited, and some even stored the booklet in their personal backpacks as if it were a treasure, fearing that it would be lost or taken away.

This behavior naturally affirms the importance and relative authenticity of the contents recorded in the small booklet.

"How to kill monsters effectively?"

"How to steadily increase the level?"

"A rough gameplay suggestion for mid-level players?"

"The booklet also provides a lot of intelligence information about wild monsters."

"It must be a closed beta player."

This manual, judging from these contents alone, is worth the money!

"Old Xu, how can Brother Xia be so sure that these native players will buy it?"

Wang Teng asked in a low voice.

Xu Che thought about it and responded softly:

"Thanks to the help of Mr. Kayaba Akihiko!"

If Kayaba Akihiko hadn't forced everyone into an unknown dead end, the players wouldn't have cared about any intelligence booklet at all.

They would be more willing to explore and discover on their own.

To satisfy their curiosity.

But after Kayaba personally explained the interests involved, no one could take this intelligence manual lightly, even if it was just for their own lives.

What they were buying was no longer intelligence, but their lives.

"Will there be smart people trying to steal our business?"

"At least not at this juncture.

How can smart people not understand the price of offending several of our testers?

Being remembered by several of our high-level testers is not a good choice.

You know, Brother Xia and Yang Jie did not hide their levels when they traded with others. Level 5 is unique even for testers at that time.

In addition, there is a high probability that there will be no tough players with photographic memory; even if there are, it is too late for them to make intelligence manuals now, and it takes some time to make this thing. It takes a lot of time to let the professional NPCs in the city bookstores reproduce a large number of small books on their behalf.

By the time those people reproduce the intelligence manuals, we will have sold them all and left."

"Will that Kayaba Akihiko not target us?"

"The small money earned from the test intelligence is not worth his attention."

The entire SAO game was designed by someone else, and you tell me he cares about this?

"Ah, Brother Xia is really thoughtful. He has considered all the things we didn't think of before and made a lot of money by taking advantage of them. He is worthy of Brother Xia."

"Yes, he is worthy of Brother Xia! If it were us, we would never have thought of such an opportunity to make a lot of money by taking advantage of the situation! It is even more impossible to get 30,000 gold coins to make 3,000 manuals at the beginning!"

(Thanks to the European Emperor Silica.)

More than ten minutes later.

Nearly 3,000 manuals were sold by Li Xia and Yang Jie.

Each small book made a net profit of 290 gold coins.

In other words, the cost of 30,000 made back nearly 900,000 wealth in just a short time.

And in this safe area in the town of the beginning, a small villa that is enough for ten people to set up a guild residence only costs 200,000 gold coins.

If we consider the gains from killing monsters, the replacement of weapons, the repair of equipment, and the consumption of medicines when killing monsters, even the closed beta testers who have taken the lead will need to reach more than ten or twenty levels to make up for it.

For ordinary players, it may take about level 25 to save up 200,000 gold coins.

For an ordinary player team of five or six people, it needs to be around level 20.

(This is the case with the Moonlit Black Cat Group in the original novel)

However, Li Xia is in a good situation.

After getting some money, he can already buy four or five houses.

"By the way, the gold coins we have accumulated from killing monsters and doing tasks in the afternoon, except for the consumption of buying potions and equipment items, it seems that there are only less than 10,000 gold coins left?"

Looking at the nearly 900,000 gold coins in hand, Wang Teng couldn't close his mouth.

Xu Che was also very satisfied:

"Well, potions are really expensive."

If it weren't for the consumption of physical potions, with their five-person team's super high monster-killing efficiency, it would be no problem to save 30,000 gold coins in an afternoon.

800,000 to 900,000 gold coins + the remaining 100,000 gold coins from the opportunity of intercepting Silica, the assets easily exceed one million!

…

That's it.

Is it over?

If it was before the side quest was triggered, Li Xia would definitely leave without saying anything.

But since the first side quest and the fifth hidden quest have been triggered, the situation is different.

Using the money to buy a house and exchange equipment is no longer the first choice.

[Game system: Congratulations to the player for achieving a million gold coins on the first day of the game, and now a level 2 guild certificate is awarded. ]

[Level 2 guild certificate: Consume this item, and the player can establish a large player guild. ]

In the backpack of the game character, a certificate suddenly appeared.

The moment he saw this guild certificate, Li Xia had a new idea: he wanted to get more from this mission copy.

"Look at what this is?"

He gave the obtained guild certificate to several close friends to check.

At this glance, several people were all shocked.

"Brother Xia, do you want to...?"

"Yes, I want to build a guild as a boost for our future stable progress. Let's give it a try. I feel that there is a lot of room for operation here. Anyway, we won't lose anything."

Several people looked at each other, and then nodded:

"Okay."

Getting the affirmation of his companions, Li Xia no longer hesitated.

Using the guild certificate to establish a guild.

Then, while everyone in the square had not left yet, he picked up the loudspeaker again:

"Don't leave in a hurry.

Next, I will establish the first guild in the SAO game world... [Liberator]!

Our guild advocates 'sharing information and resources as much as possible for a fee', 'uniting all players to jointly attack the death game SAO'!

Now, we sincerely invite like-minded Taoist friends to join.

Those who are interested can apply to me."

This move really caused a thousand waves!

Not only did it numb the players in the field.

Kayaba Akihiko, who was secretly observing, was also a little surprised:

"Has the system mechanism I left behind been triggered? I haven't even entered the game yet, but it has been triggered? What a powerful boy."

Then he set his eyes on Li Xia:

"Your name is Xia, right?

An interesting beta tester!

So how far can you go next?"

This game seems to have a little unexpected surprise.

"It seems that I should also log in...

Xia...

Looking forward to the day when we meet in the game!"

At the same time.

There are many people with similar or even the same ideas as Li Xia, vying to come out and come to his side.

For example, "Xinka", the president of the largest SAO guild "Aincrad Liberation Army" in the original work, is the manager of the largest online game comprehensive intelligence station in the island country, and his ideas coincide with those proposed by Li Xia.

In the original work, this person single-handedly established a large guild with the most guild members.

If it weren't for the failure to seize the early opportunities and to attract some beta tester masters to join, he wouldn't be so constrained in the middle and late stages. Not to mention being plotted against by the sinister villain Ya Wang.

This guy is a very capable guy.

Unfortunately, his skills are still a little lacking.

Of course.

Not only ordinary players who have not experienced the internal test have joined the group, but also many closed beta players.

These closed beta players are naturally not optimistic about ordinary players.

They are optimistic about several high-level peers headed by Li Xia.

With such a master leading them, they are naturally more confident.

…

2022, November 6, 18:36 p.m.

The first guild in the SAO game world was born.

Guild Headquarters: Starting Town.

Membership: 500 people.

500 people is enough, but too many people will be bloated. Later, we will filter out the best and retain the real elite. By then, what will be obtained will be at least more than 400 mid-level players and some auxiliary players who specialize in sub-jobs.

(The data in this book is mainly based on animation. There are other novels where guild props are revealed only on the fourth level. Adjustments are made here. Everything serves the trialists, which is a convenience created by the rules of the secret realm.)

(In addition, the personal main menu expanded by Kirito in the anime after defeating the pig-headed boss on the first floor also shows "guild", which is the guild column.)

(Based on this, I made a bold second guess.)

[Hidden Task 9: Establish a guild. 】

[Task status: Completed. 】

[Task rewards: 1. Establish a small guild of ten people and own a guild station. 2 free attribute points will be rewarded when full. There is still a lack of guild residence.

2. Establish a large-scale guild of 100 people and own a guild station. 5 free attribute points will be rewarded for full membership...]

"For those who haven't been able to join the guild yet, please don't worry. You can just level up in the starting town with peace of mind. When the guild's level rises, I will send an invitation to everyone."

Li Xia said impassionedly.

Later, he left Yang Jie and Xu Che as the guild's instructors, and they taught the ordinary novice players in the guild how to better hunt wild boars and other monsters near the starting town, in order to earn the guild members' support. Good impression.

The most valuable thing about this wave is the goodwill of hundreds of people. Whatever you say, you have to control it in the hands of your own people.

In addition, Xinka was retained as one of the cadres, and a pie named "Vice President" was drawn to persuade him to do his best for the guild.

Then.

He took Wang Teng, Xia Zhijin, and 50 players with relatively good combat literacy to form an "advance team" of more than 50 people. After completing all aspects of configuration and supplies, he headed straight for the next step. The town went wild.

He wanted to tell those vicious beta testers how dominant the vanguard elite was over the overall situation when their individual strength was not exaggerated in the early days.

"Set off."

Watching the team of dozens of people embarking on the journey with the spark of hope.

This day.

Most ordinary players who were trapped in the game world suddenly felt less desperate.

…

"It feels different. I've never been so nervous when killing monsters before."

On the road ahead, more than fifty level 2 wild wolves suddenly appeared.

That battle.

Even Li Xia and Wang Teng didn't dare to face him when they met.

We can only rely on the strength of everyone to form a three-two-three-two response.

"Fortunately, I spent the whole afternoon fighting monsters and leveling up to familiarize myself with the characteristics of wild monsters, otherwise I might not be able to adapt to this rhythm quickly."

"Be careful and don't miss out on business trips. One mistake could cost a life."

"clear."

There were two people leading the way, and the march went smoothly.

Although some wild wolves occasionally broke through the defense line and rushed into the crowd, causing a moment of chaos, they were quickly killed by the crowd's joint efforts.

"Thanks to the fact that the first batch of players we screened out all had a good mentality and did not disrupt the formation or cause chaos for others..."

"Well, once they get used to the feeling of facing wild monsters, everything will be fine."
