Long live money

As for the two missions on the Street of Beginning, Mo Mo's blacksmith skills have been upgraded to LV2, LV2 is enough to forge LV10 weapons, even including the sophisticated series of dark elf weapons, but the materials are also amazing, and Mo Mo is far from collecting them.

After upgrading to LV2, Mo Mo didn't choose to upgrade his skills because the conditions were sufficient.

Next, Momo did something like this.

First, he passed on the LV2 blacksmith skill to Lisbeth, making Lisbet a LV2, and then bought Lisbeth's level 1 blacksmith level, so that Momo's blacksmith level became LV3.Finally, Momo passed on the LV3 blacksmith level to Lisbeth.

In this way, a cycle was completed in just one day, and two LV3 blacksmiths were born with difficulty!

As for other players, it seems that there are two very lucky players who learned the most basic blacksmith skills from an NPC in a remote valley, and the cost has already cost them their fortunes.

congratulations!

Kayaba Akihiko burst into tears instantly...

Naturally, Momo would not tell others about this unique method of self-improvement, and Lisbeth also kept it a secret with golden eyes.Outsiders can't see the level of the two, only two people know their own level.

Next, if Mo Mo wants to, he can use three transactions to make the two of them become LV5 blacksmiths, but this is not necessary, after all, they are not used now, and the weapons they create also have level restrictions.

However, this level can fully meet the current needs of all players for blacksmithing. Needless to say, repairing and crafting, weapon enhancements from LV1 to LV4 have a 3% success rate for LV100 blacksmithing skills.

So...

The magical blacksmith who shocked the whole of Aincrad, Lisbeth's blacksmith shop has opened!

Even though Lisbeth is the only one holding a hammer and anvil to set up a stall on the street, there are always countless people queuing up in front of Lisbeth's stall, making Lisbeth numb even holding the hammer to strike weapons and equipment up.

After Momo, Lisbeth became another huge source of income for the team, even surpassing Momo's income from selling pork every day.

Momo's method of upgrading (Xiu) level (Gai) skills can naturally be used for other abilities.However, the rest of the skills have sword skill proficiency. The initial sword skill proficiency is too low. Starting from 1 point of proficiency, even if it doubles in a day, it is difficult to grow too much.

In the past ten days, Mo Mo and Asuna have had time to carry out this kind of interactive upgrade (Xiu) level (Gai) of skill proficiency, which is very ashamed and not efficient.

The skill proficiency of the two of them is only the full level of the one-handed straight sword, and the skill proficiency of the western sword has reached 81, not even two.

Akihiko Kayaba continued to cry...

However, it is not an easy task for two people to achieve the full level of all skills.Even if two people only train one weapon, there are still various skill levels that need to be improved, such as enemy detection, concealment, and so on.

This is still a long process. It takes six to seven days for two people to upgrade a skill at the same time. The speed is really not fast.

No, Kirito's one-handed sword proficiency has reached 20%, and he can strengthen his one-handed sword skills for the first time.

In the end, it was Momo’s pork business on the street of beginning. Momo bound a passer-by player with the trading power to let him carry out all this. He also traded with the butcher once with the trading power, making himself the exclusive supplier The price is that the wild boar meat has been reduced to 23 cole a piece.

After excluding the purchase fee of 11 Cole, and the reward of 2 Cole for each piece of wild boar to passers-by players, Momo still has a daily income of 500 Cole.

But at this time, for Mo Mo, 500 Cole is already a small amount of money, and now the 10V[-] bumblebee that Mo Mo hunts drops more than ten Cole.

If there is any difference between Sword Art Online at this time and the original book, there are two points.

One is the legendary blacksmith Lisbeth, who abruptly raised the equipment of the entire front-line players by a level.The equipment is upgraded, the upgrade efficiency is high, and the death rate is low.

Another legend is that a couple of masters appeared. Few people saw them, because they were often at the forefront of all players.The woman is okay, she has a Western sword in one hand, as for the south, she often changes weapons for no reason, and she still shouts the slogan of all-professional hegemony.

If it wasn't for the fact that the man seems to have a problem with his brain, probably everyone would think that this couple of swordsmen is just a cheating existence.

24 days passed, Momo and Asuna received the news, and Kirito discovered the location of the boss on the first floor.Although Kirito's strength is not as good as that of Momo and Asuna, but with Lisbeth's well-crafted dark elf weapons, coupled with Kirito's experience, he is also walking sideways on the first floor.

The Boss Raiders on the first floor will still appear, and the mastermind will still be Diavel.Diabel's reputation is also much higher than in the original book, after all, he stole Momo's limelight at the very beginning of the game.

In this regard, Momo and Asuna naturally have no reason to refuse.

After nine days of arduous upgrading process, Mo Mo and Asuna finally completed the difficult task of proficiency in Western Sword Man, and began to improve the proficiency of sword skills.

There are several ways to improve strength in Sword Art Online.

First, upgrade the level. Higher levels will have higher original attributes, including basic blood volume, HP recovery, stiffness resistance, etc., and can also provide freely allocated attribute points to improve strength, physique, agility, and dexterity.Strength and agility determine the damage of heavy weapons and light weapons respectively. Strength increases the damage bonus of sword skills for heavy weapons, and agility increases the bonus of light weapons.

For example, Kirito's strength attribute is dominant, so the sword used must be an epee, and Asuna's agility attribute is dominant, so a light weapon such as a western sword must be used.

As for our Mo Mo, who is known as the all-professional hegemony, he can only talk now.Attribute points do not belong to experience skills, so Mo Mo can only buy and sell, but cannot double through learning and teaching.

Although Mo Mo can buy other people's attribute points, but Mo Mo's current transaction times are not enough, so naturally he will not consider this point.

045 It's time to hang up

As for leveling up, Momo also tried once, and indeed he could trade levels with Asuna.

However, it is a pity that it is only a level transaction, even if the level is bought, it is only a change in the value of the level, and it will not cause any change in strength.

In addition, Mo Mo can purchase experience point upgrades, which can bring about an increase in attributes. However, compared to the skill training that can improve two people at the same time, the slight attribute improvements brought about by the upgrade are almost negligible.

Maybe in the future, Momo can buy a certain number of attribute points from logistics or second-line personnel who are not interested in fighting to improve himself.As for the improvement of the level, it seems that it depends on Mo Mo's hard work to fight monsters.

After all, Momo's equipment, skills, and attributes are destined to be far superior to ordinary players, and his level is also higher than that of ordinary players. High-level upgrades require a huge increase in experience points, and buying experience points from low-level players is obviously a drop in the bucket.

The second way to improve strength is sword skills.

The improvement of sword skills is divided into two parts, one part is the visible improvement, that is, the damage increase brought by attributes, equipment, and proficiency, and the other part is the invisible improvement, which is the combined application of personal use of sword skills, Increased combat awareness.

As for the former, Mo Mo currently has no good way to improve the level. The improvement of attribute points is put in the later stage. The equipment can reach the current limit of the first level, and the proficiency of sword skills has reached the full level.

As for the second invisible improvement, Mo Mo used Kirito's combat awareness, although it is not the top, it is already top-notch.In addition to imparting combat awareness to Asuna, Momo can also communicate with other top players in the future, and this is not a problem.

It can be said that in terms of sword skills, Mo Mo can approach the limit in the future. The only problem that is difficult to stabilize is the personal exclusive skills and the so-called mind skills.

The origin of the personal exclusive skills is unknown. Mo Mo suspects that the so-called dual-sword style may even be that Kayaba Akihiko chose Kirito, and let Kirito be his opponent as a skill specially designed for him, making him an opponent against him.

The only thing that surprised Akihiko Kayaba should be the Incarnation Technique.After all, mind skills are so-called "things beyond the limit of human cognition", that is to say, things that even Kayaba Akihiko was surprised and could not understand.

Kayaba Akihiko may have some understanding of Incarnation Skills, or maybe he really doesn't know anything, but when he saw Kirito using Incarnation Skills and breaking through the limits of the system, he knew that Kirito had the ability to break through the limits he created. Only then did THESEED be handed over to Kirito, and Kirito was released.

By the way, Asuna was rescued and everyone was released.

Perhaps, the last battle on the 75th floor was a farce where Akihiko Kayaba forced Kirito to shape his successor.

In any case, regarding the exclusive skills, Mo Mo can't consider it for the time being.Maybe Mo Mo can have another fair deal with Kirito-kun at that time, and learn from Kirito about the double sword style.

As for mind skills, in Mo Mo's view, it should be a manifestation of human consciousness being able to accept and influence digital signals. Two years of deep diving have caused some changes in the brains of Kirito and other players, perhaps evolution , so that manpower can receive and release some digital signals.

It is possible that this is also one of the purposes of Kayaba Akihiko.

As for what Kayaba Akihiko is going to do, Mo Mo is not very concerned.And the mind skill is not something that Mo Mo can obtain at present, maybe in the future it will depend on the kind Kirito-kun.

The third means to improve strength is weapons and equipment.

Mo Mo has no means to interfere with the drop of weapons and equipment. Of course, if there are any hidden missions in the future, maybe Mo Mo can use the trading power to buy the equipment, but for now, it is mainly about building.

Fortunately, in SAO, equipment building is the most important way for ordinary players to obtain equipment. High-level players use high-level materials to build their own, without relying on recipes, and there is a chance that high-level weapons will appear.

In the original work, Kirito’s sword, the White Sword Chaser, is an advanced weapon obtained through forging, and it has been used by Kirito to the end. You must know that the main material of the Dark Chaser is the ice dragon’s lair on the 55th floor. It is enough to show the importance of the profession of blacksmith in SAO

Of course, this also illustrates another point. Compared with a little stat improvement on the weapon, a good weapon with good weapon enhancement is also the most important thing.

Weapons in SAO can be strengthened from LV1 to LV20. Of course, only the highest-level weapons are treated, and the number of enhancements for low-level weapons is limited.However, generally no one will strengthen low-level weapons to high-level ones, because strengthening requires a lot of materials, and the materials need players to collect a little bit.

This is not an easy process.

The strongest part of strengthening is that on the one hand, strengthening not only increases the basic attributes proportionally, but also increases special attributes for each level of strengthening, such as attack speed, movement speed, skill cooling, precision attack, sharpness, toughness, etc. Wait.

When Asuna strengthens her weapon, she often chooses precision attack first. The significance of precision attack is that when the attack reaches the vital point of the monster, it can cause greater critical damage, followed by attack speed.

Asuna's flashing Asuna is not only because of Asuna's fast attack speed, but also because Asuna's attack power is not low, and this attack power is due to Asuna's control of her sword skills, often attacking monsters. The result of the high crit caused.

Therefore, Asuna of the Shining is a title of strength without any falsehood.

It can be seen from this that weapon strengthening is another important factor affecting strength besides sword skills. Only a good basic weapon and high strengthening can create a powerful player.

Regarding this item, the blacksmith levels of Momo and Lisbeth have guaranteed that they can use high-level elite weapons that match the level at any time, and the enhancement also has a high success rate.However, the collection of enhancement materials is ultimately up to them themselves, and the success rate of high-level enhancements, even at the LV10 blacksmith level, still drops sharply.

The success rate of LV10 blacksmiths to strengthen LV19 weapons is only 5%.

The above are all the ways to improve the strength in SAO. (Because SAO is a novel after all, some places refer to the settings of the two games, and some places are personal supplements, so it is good for everyone to understand, this book does not pay attention to specific data.)

Mo Mo knew all of this well, and tried his best to grasp all the means to improve his strength.

Sword skills proficiency and weapon level are not a problem. Character level needs to be practiced slowly, and weapon strengthening is not in a hurry. The supplement of character attributes is put in the later stage.

However, even if it only has a high-level LV4 weapon, the weapon proficiency is full, and the sword skill proficiency is far from full. The strength of Momo and Asuna has already surpassed all players.

If the two of them wanted to, they could even go directly to sweep the boss on the first floor, take away the pitch-black midnight coat, and enjoy the demeanor of a black swordsman.

However, Mo Mo naturally does not intend to do this. First, the black coat is of little significance to Mo Mo. Compared with the importance of weapons, armor is useless. The most important function is not to provide defense, but to enhance attributes.

After all, SAO is a fighting game of swords and sword skills, and the role of defense is just icing on the cake. It is the pursuit of this game to determine the success or failure of a move in a short time.

This is one of the reasons, and the most important reason is that Momo and Asuna will not choose to reveal their strength now.

This is not the meaning of hiding strength and pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Right now, the strength of the two people is enough to sweep everything, but the strategy cannot rely on the two of them.

In the later stage, it must be the team's strategy. If the other people's level weapons are not available, Mo Mo and Asuna can only choose to wait for everyone.

Especially what Momo is doing now is just to reduce the time for the boring process of fighting monsters and upgrading the long experience for two people. It is not really modifying the data. In the future, the data of all players will be improved, and all players will be close to the limit.

In the original book, the 75th floor is such a threshold.Kirito, Asuna and others are all over 90 levels, not far from the full level of 100. Although there is still room for improvement in weapon sword skills, etc., the boss on the 75th floor almost wiped out everyone. It is enough to explain the difficulty of killing the Boss on the 75th floor and above.

This was intentionally set by Akihiko Kayaba, which shows that Akihiko Kayaba may not have planned for the players to pass the level at all.Even a group of players with full levels and attributes at level 100 may not be able to break through the top boss.

This is why Mo Mo decided not to overexpose his strength and let everyone rely on them.Mo Mo didn't want everyone to rely on only two people. At the end, a group of people faced the bosses above the 75th floor and left the stage one after another.

Well, although exiting is also a way to end the game.

Momo and Asuna returned to Tolbana after receiving the invitation from the first floor strategy meeting.

Compared with half a month ago, there are less than 4000 players left in Torbana. These 4000 people are really frightened. On the one hand, there is a death game, and there are players whose names are engraved with black iron Monument, on one side is Cole who has very little body, they are really facing despair.

Some players even started begging from other players, but few chose to ignore them.

After all, the vast majority of people were forced out of Torbana, and the Cole in their hands was also obtained from fighting monsters. It was not enough to buy food, stay in hotels, and strengthen equipment. How could they share it with others? player?

After all, this is still a game. Although it is unbearable to be hungry, one cannot die from hunger.

"Hey... these two people..."

"It's them, it's really them!"

"Look at their weapons, they are all glowing, and the light is not the same. This must be a high-level weapon! Has it been strengthened to LV10?"

"Don't be stupid, Miss Blacksmith has already said that the first level can only be strengthened to LV4. She wrote down the materials needed for strengthening, the monsters to face, and the characteristics of monsters in the strategy book. Are you looking carefully?"

"Ah, really, I just left the city not long ago, and I'm still practicing sword skills!"

"Tch, what's so interesting about it, the two of them must be beta testers, they have robbed all our resources, do you still admire them?"

"You can't say that, they didn't steal or rob, they all left the Street of Beginning early!"

046 Welcome, Kirito 02

Mo Mo and Asuna were walking on the street of Starting Street. Facing the guidance of the passers-by, Mo Mo didn't feel the slightest pressure. After all, he had seen a lot of such scenes.

In the previous life, there was even a wave of worldwide resistance against Mo Mo, but it was easily suppressed by Mo Mo.Facing the accusations of billions of people, Mo Mo can still enjoy it, not to mention the few players right now?

"Momo..."

Asuna hesitated to speak, but Mo Mo understood her thoughts and said: "This is an RPG game, and resources are limited. The maximum income of experience, materials, etc. determines that there must be stratification of players. "

"The improvement of the two of us relies more on my strength than on the massive grabbing of resources. If this is to be blamed, Asuna, it is their fault. It is just a manifestation of the inferiority of human beings, even if Even if we share all our resources, they still won’t be satisfied.”

Mo Mo grinned and said: "Maybe, they will charge us with a crime of hiding private information. Using this righteousness as a weapon, they wantonly insult us. Do you believe it, Asuna?"

Asuna nodded, agreeing.But Mo Mo knew that Asuna only agreed rationally. In fact, she probably still didn't believe that people could be so shameless.

"Of course, if you agree, when our strength reaches the limit, I can choose to trade with other players to further improve their strength. Just from Argo..."

"no!"

Asuna instantly frowned, staring at Mo Mo with a trace of suspicion in her eyes.

"Damn it, I'll be ashamed to look at him like that!"

"Humph!"

Asuna turned around and stepped forward. Although there was no solid evidence, Asuna had a vague feeling that Argo looked at Momo in the wrong way.

Reminiscing that night, both of them did not return late at night, and came back from one direction, Asuna had some uncontrollable associations.

After that, Argo admitted directly that she hired Mo Mo to do the task that day.Logically speaking, up to now, Asuna didn't have enough doubts, but Argo inadvertently called Momo by the title of playboy, which escalated the suspicion in Asuna's heart again.

There's no way, in what state would a girl call another man a playboy?

Although Argo's casual tone made it difficult for Asuna to think that what happened between her and Momo, at least it should be that the two had some contact beyond friendship, or felt that Momo had some unreasonable thoughts about Argo ...

The above is the rational reasoning of the famous detective Yuki Asuna, at least she thinks she is rational.
