Chapter 59: The First Level that Was Cleared in Seconds

The first level of Aincrad, the starting town.

The streets are full of players, some are just hanging out and waiting for others to guide them, some are sleeping on the street eating black bread, some are running around trying to level up, and some are squatting lifelessly on the roadside pretending to be corpses.

In short, except for Zhao Chen who was looking around, everyone else followed their own life trajectories and lived in this hopeless world.

As for Kirito and Asuna who were following him, Kirito was still in the aftermath of shock, while Asuna was excited to leave here.

After the three of them walked around the starting town, Tongcai, who was mechanically following Zhao Chen, asked tentatively: "Um, did you really just enter the game today? And you just 'swooshed' What happened to the skill that brought us here right away? Magic skills shouldn’t exist in SAO, and transfer crystals aren’t items that can be played now, right?”

"It's true that I entered the game today. As for the skill issue, you may not understand it even if it is explained. Just think of it as the ability to move in space without a CD. I have finished watching the starting town. I will take you to another place to play. Hmm. , your current level should be enough!"

After looking at the levels of Kirito and Asuna, Zhao Chen said with a smile, and at the same time the three of them disappeared into the Town of Beginning.

But the disappearance of the three of them did not attract much attention, because this happened many times in the past!

People who saw this scene just thought that these three people were just like the previous ones, who died in the game because of real-life problems.

When Kirito and Asuna were able to see things again, they found that the place they were currently in was a little special. Asuna was fine, she just felt that the surrounding light was a little dim.

But Kirito is different. As a top player who reached the eighth level in the closed beta, he is quite familiar with the venue where the BOSS is located.

At the same time, he was also familiar with the decoration style in front of him, because he had stayed in this place for a while and died many times, of course, it was a normal death in the closed beta environment.

"Where is this place?" Asuna looked at the dim environment around her and frowned. She didn't like such a dark place.

Kirito gave a helpless smile at this time and explained softly: "I think this should be the BOSS room on the first floor!"

"Yes, this is the BOSS room on the first floor. Are you interested in trying to see if you can pass it?"

While talking, Zhao Chen carefully looked at the surrounding decorations. Although he could not fully see all the decorations due to the dim light, he still felt that Kayaba Akihiko's aesthetics were quite good.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the ancient stone door behind him. Looking forward from Zhao Chen's position, he can see towering stone pillars on both sides, and the wide corridor is filled with various patterns.

At the end of the corridor stood a huge throne, with an approximately humanoid figure sitting on it, not paying any attention to the fact that a player had already arrived on his territory.

"Look at the outline of the body. The BOSS on the first floor should be similar to the one during the closed beta period. Try it first before it fails. You only have one life now, so you have to be careful!"

Unlike Zhao Chen, who had a more peculiar focus, Kirito felt eager to give it a try after confirming that this was the BOSS's room on the first floor, but he was hesitant because he only had one life.

Just when Kirito was hesitating whether he should give it a try or not, and he didn't know if the BOSS's early warning mechanism was triggered, the BOSS on the first floor who was originally sitting at the end of the corridor opened his eyes with glowing red eyes.

As the BOSS stood up and roared, the whole room suddenly became brighter as if it was equipped with a voice-activated light. At the same time, three small monsters wearing metal armor and holding hammers appeared beside him. They looked about the same as Almost like a rabbit.

Although the title is called "Ruins Kobold Guards".

"It seems that we can only go up to it reluctantly. I hope this BOSS is not enhanced compared to the closed beta! I will buy time and use teleportation to leave here later. There is no way for the three of us to kill the BOSS!"

With a trace of cold sweat hanging on his forehead, Kirito licked his lips and took out his weapon. Based on his experience in defeating the first-level BOSS, it would be difficult to defeat it alone, but it would still be possible to delay for some time. I hope that here For a period of time, this player called the shop owner was able to teleport the three of us back!

Although Zhao Chen showed some special abilities in front of Kirito before, Kirito didn't think that the other party could be powerful enough to directly break through the first level.

So he felt that if he held off the BOSS, maybe the three of them could be teleported back alive!

This is the confidence and confidence of being the number one player in the closed beta test!

But the facts are often contrary to personal thoughts. When Kirito wanted to fight the first-level BOSS kobold lord Ilfang with 30% confidence and 70% luck, everything was over!

The moment the kobold lord Irfan struck with a giant axe, Zhao Chen stood directly in front of the attack, and then took the seemingly heavy axe with one hand.

"Although it seems to be very expressive and oppressive, is this the real strength? Even the second-grade sporadic stars are far behind. Sure enough, even though it is described as very powerful in the original anime and novels, as a real person The creation of the world still follows some basic laws.”

Feeling the pressure in his hand, Zhao Chen could easily judge the true strength of this BOSS even without using the system's ability. ,

However, such words were a little difficult for Kirito and Asuna to understand. What is the second grade? What is the basic law?

Kirito has never been to the store, let alone Asuna. Although Asuna has been to the store, she has not participated in the formal transaction, so she is not familiar with the store system, so she is also confused by the store owner's words.

However, Zhao Chen has no intention of explaining for them at present. He looked at the BOSS who was trying desperately to pull the axe from his hand with a little disappointment and sighed.

"Sure enough, the first level alone still failed to stimulate any inspiration. There are still ninety-nine levels. Take your time. Moreover, it just happened to deal with Asuna's problem!"

Then, he put his right hand together to form a sword, and a sword energy slashed at the BOSS.

Under the power that the game cannot understand, that is, the special power that Zhao Chen himself possesses, the first level is cleared!

Of course, because there are no system announcements or user notifications in the SAO game world, Diebero and others who were in a meeting did not realize that the first-level BOSS strategy they were preparing with all their strength had been declared over before they even started.

"It's over so easily? The first level is over like this?"

Looking at the passage leading to the second level behind the BOSS throne, Kirito and Asuna looked at each other. Is this a bit too simple?

I didn't even see how to attack, and it was solved with a wave of my hand?

Although Asuna understood Zhao Chen's ability as a shop owner, she had never thought that a shop owner could pass the level so easily in this game world.

Turning back to look at the two boys and girls who were stunned in place, Zhao Chen chuckled and waved his hand, saying: "Let's go, let's go to the second level."

Then he took the lead and walked towards the road leading to the second level. Hearing Zhao Chen's voice, Kirito and Asuna looked at each other and immediately followed.

But they didn't notice that their running pace was more relaxed than before!

Aincrad's 100th floor, the location of the final boss - Ruby Palace!

"Hmm? The first floor has been cleared. The players' clearance speed slightly exceeded my imagination. I thought I would have to wait a few more days, but now, what's going on?"

Originally sitting on the throne of Ruby Palace, Kayaba Akihiko looked at the light screen in front of him and suddenly wondered if his brain had been burned out while exploring the essence of human beings recently, causing some problems with his eyes.

Because in the short time he was talking, the clearance progress of Aincrad soared to the 74th floor!
