I opened a black shop in Zongman

"Well, you accompany me...together..."

The girl took the initiative to hold the boy's palm.

"of course."

Tatsumi responded with a hearty smile, and the two interlocked their fingers.

Sword Art Online…

Before crossing, it was a dream game.

Tatsumi silently yelled "Lincoln's dead head", and then brought the same digitized body of Kato Megumi to this game world full of swords and battles.

Aincrad.

Chapter 157 Chapter 150 Five The Attacking Girl

"Horizontal phalanx cut!"

The four consecutive attacks drew a water-blue square light on the body of the wild boar monster on the first floor, and then dazzlingly diffused to penetrate the body of the wild boar monster.

Holding the sword in one hand, Tatsumi quietly watched as the mob in front of him cleared his HP and disappeared into the game as a stream of broken data.

"Amazing."

Kato Megumi, who was watching the battle, clapped his hands expressionlessly.

It's like coping.

This made Tatsumi, who had just become familiar with the sword skills in this game, a little less interested.

Maybe it's better to bring Tomoe or Shiwa with them?

"Would you like to try it too?"

Tatsumi pointed to those boar-shaped mobs that had resurrected around him.

There are no people in the leveling area outside the first floor of SAO. Because of Asuna, the rest of the strategy team has either reached the comfort zone above the tenth floor, or has been staying in the starting town and will not come out. .

"This... I also defeated one just now."

Kato Megumi clicked on the void panel in front of him, and showed Tatsumi the result of defeating a mob.

"when……"

Tatsumi didn't pay much attention.

"Could Megumi actually be good at playing games?"

"The monsters here are too weak, and they won't take the initiative to attack..."

Kato Megumi is wearing the novice armor that she just bought from the NPC in the starting town. Although it is not delicate enough, the girl still looks very cute.

"However, when the wild boar rushed up, I was still a little flustered."

Compared with other players, Kato Megumi's mentality is relatively stable, so he didn't panic too much, so he was able to defeat a mob without changing his face when he first came into contact with the game.

"This game is too real..."

The HP gauge, status bar, and skills can all appear in front of your eyes, and you can feel the pain even if you are injured. And looking around, the blue sky and white clouds you see are all like the painting style in fantasy novels.

"It's not particularly true. Pulling weeds will only cause damage to the ground and there will be no grass leaves. Fruits can fall from the tree, but no leaves will fall, and the injury will not have the effect of bleeding..."

After actually entering the game of SAO, Tatsumi began to feel that the game was not as good as he imagined.

At the very least, there's still plenty of room for improvement.

"But, it's too real, it will make people feel scared, right?"

Just like when we see a particularly real robot, the first moment is never admiration, but fear.

If the game is as real as the real world, it will give people a feeling of being in a "brain in a vat".

"That's right, the place of the game still has to show the feeling of the game. One's pursuit of truth may backfire..."

What the girl said makes sense.

Tatsumi didn't say anything about the "unreal" part of this game.

However, the developers of this game are pursuing 100% realism.

If the blood bar is empty, you will die on the spot in the real world...

Desperate games are real, but they lack a lot of relaxation, and games exist only for entertainment.

If an Ultra Evolved fully immersive RPG is more trash than reality, does it still count as a game?

Perhaps this will lead to another dispute between the two player genres.

Moreover, is Kayaba Akihiko really doing this to let everyone experience his game...

Or... His purpose is just to see the game?

If you experience such a death game from the perspective of an onlooker instead of a personal experience, it will undoubtedly be relaxing and pleasant to the senses.

Speaking of which, this guy did say something like 'I created this world just to watch'.

Sure enough, game developers and operators are actually unable to resonate with players.

The same goes for kidnappers like Akihiko Kayaba who have mental problems.

-

"Sure enough, it's on the No.15 floor."

There was no information on the display screen in the background that players appeared above the fifteenth floor, and Akihiko Kayaba could finally take a breather.

Even with the help of AI, it's no small feat to make changes to game content in a game where all players are online.

"Do you want to activate another GM..."

Because of Kayaba Akihiko's actions, SAO's current GM is only himself and the AIs he wrote in the program.

In order to pursue the fairness of the game, Akihiko Kayaba issued an order to all AIGMs to 'prohibit all interference with players' behavior'.

But now because of Asuna's relationship, he felt the need to release some AI-controlled GMs.

-

"You can force NPCs to team up..."

Asuna didn't immediately go to the labyrinth area on the fifteenth floor to defeat the boss after getting the cheat of the wall penetration technique, but chose to go to the third floor.

In the previous raids, they were all swept away, but she still remembered that there was a very powerful night elf on the third floor, and she was also a big sister who suited her preferences...

It only takes about 20 days to clear five floors and one hundred floors every day, but in these future times, I always act alone...

Asuna also felt that she was almost reaching her limit.

While players may not necessarily be trustworthy, NPCs may be.

At least she still remembered that when she was doing the third-floor strategy mission, the night elf NPC was full of human feelings like her big sister.

Of course, the reason why Asuna, who quickly cleared the maze, remembered the night elf, was because of the other party...

She does look like her older sister, although she doesn't have an older sister, but that's what she imagined her older sister to look like.

(Note: The picture is a screenshot of Sword Art Online Progressive 36)

"How can I do it..."

Asuna has arrived at the labyrinth area on the third floor. Two NPCs represent the mission. One is a female warrior with blue-purple short hair, holding a black sword and a night elf with a dark complexion. Elf with a saber.

Night elves and forest elves are fighting for territory and faction.

The player's task is to choose to join one of them, and then complete the tasks given by the elves.

But the female elf's face has an astonishing beauty, and from a certain angle, it even resembles Asuna's appearance.

This made many players choose to join the camp of female elves, and Asuna was no exception.

She cut off the male elf again without a word, and then entered the task of the female elf.

However, as for how to turn the female elf into her teammate next, she is still figuring it out.

"Ah, found it!"

Asuna finally found the team formation sign, and forcibly pulled the big sister of the night elf in front of her into her team.

"Miss Mel..."

It turns out that you only need to enter the name of the NPC, which is really convenient.

Asuna even found an interface where the attributes of the team members can be adjusted at will.

In this way, you can take this NPC with you until the end...

And as long as the NPC is adjusted to a higher value than the boss, you don't even need to attack the boss yourself.

Fenglingyueying is too strong...

"Thank you, my master..."

Looking at the male elf who had been killed by Asuna, the elder sister of the blue-purple haired female elf thanked the girl very humanely.

But in terms of address, it has changed from the former Miss Human Race to the current "Master".

"Master? Ah...the favorability has indeed been adjusted to the highest value..."

Asuna was a little embarrassed to hear her master's address, because the female elf in front of her was so human-like.

"It should be enough to dial to 80.00%..."

"Thank you, my best friend, Miss Asuna."

With the adjustment of favorability, the female elf NPC also called the girl from master to best friend.

"Well, Miss Mel, let's accompany me to explore this world together!"

Asuna held out her hand.

But the female elf in front of her didn't choose to shake hands, but gently touched the girl's head.

Just like real sisters...

"I will accompany you all over the world."

"I... are you really an NPC?"

"NPC? I only know that it seems like we've met for the second time, but I feel like you are my sister."

The female elf squinted her eyes and moved her long ears behind her cheeks, she seemed very happy.

"Sister... would a normal NPC have so many dialogue settings?"

It's almost like... a character who came to life.

Asuna felt the warm palm above her head in disbelief.

In this death game, I actually got warmth from an NPC, really...

"If SAO is officially operating, she should be an NPC controlled by the staff, but now that it has become a death game, her control program has been turned into AI."

Tatsumi also didn't expect that he would see Asuna running rampant in the game with a cheat on the third floor.

But I met it earlier, it seems to be good...

"You, why are you here too!?"

Asuna was more surprised by Tatsumi's arrival than surprised by the intelligence of the NPC.

Chapter 158 Chapter 150 The Correct Use of NPCs

Could it be that he... is also a player in this game?

No, no, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for him to be...

Asuna quickly denied this absurd idea of ​​her own.

But how did he come here and what did he come for?

"Come to van game..."
