There is indeed a problem with my summoning spirit system

Chapter 10 The most beautiful is the happy life of the widow who is red in the sunset (laughs)

"Kirito-kun, are you okay?"

Kirito looked up, and the blond girl in front of him was bent over and looking at him worriedly.Put the back of your right hand under your nose, as if to feel if you are still breathing.

This is the game world, the characters are just models, there is no breathing, heartbeat and pulse at all.So the opponent's actions are purely useless.

However, since the other party has good intentions, Kirito will not point out this small problem in an uncomprehending manner.He sat up calmly, and moved a distance to the side,
"It's okay, just a little tired."

The blood volume of the blond girl Saber's character is maintained at about 50%, while Kirito's blood volume is less than 20%. The two have killed more than 20 crazy man-eating plants just now.Even if Li wanted to make full use of Wang's A-level intuition, he still couldn't dodge all the attacks.Lost a lot of blood.

Kirito's condition is even more dangerous. If he is not careful when attacking, the novice sword in his hand may run out of durability and be destroyed. Losing the weapon under the siege of a large number of monsters means certain death.

But they finally survived.

"Alas~ That guy who killed a thousand swords actually harmed us. If I get a chance, I will tie him up and bounce him a hundred times!"

Kirito, who was drinking the recovery medicine, almost spit it out.

"Well, although I really want to ask him for an explanation, we should never see this person again."

Li Xiang asked in surprise, "Why?"

Kirito, who regained some strength during the chat break, stood up from the ground and motioned for Li to follow him.

After advancing for a certain distance in the direction where the previous player retreated, there were a few more pieces of equipment that fell on the ground.

"Here, it should be the tomb of the player just now."

"If the number I wrote down is correct, we should have killed a total of 23 man-eating plants just now, twelve for me, and eleven for you. And this player should have killed about four to five monsters. "

Kirito's voice was low, but there was no anger or unwillingness in his words.Only a touch of sadness.

Although this player had just planned to entrap them, with the death of this player, Kirito felt that the hatred in his heart was irrelevant.

The broken one-handed sword and armor in front of him belonged to a victim of Sword Art Online whose name he didn't know.

Perhaps one day in the near future, his equipment will fall on the ground like this. On the stone tablet of the Black Iron Palace, the starting town, the line with the name "kirito" will be simply drawn with a straight line, next to it State his cause of death in a brief statement.

"Player Name Kirito XX Year X Month X Day Died from Falling"

——Maybe that’s how it feels.

"The skill that this player's second skill grid fills should be "Concealment". He originally wanted to use the concealment skill to retreat after attacking the piranha fruit and attracting a large number of piranha plants to attack us, and wait for us to die to pick up the props. .

However, he should be using "Concealment" for the first time, so he didn't think that concealment is only a visual effect of hiding. Monsters of the cannibal type mainly rely on touch and vibration to locate enemies. Time is useless.In the end, he was killed by the man-eating grass that he attracted. "

Tongren explained to Li Xiang the cause of the player's death that he speculated.

"It's self-inflicted, and it doesn't deserve my sympathy."

The blond girl snorted and turned back to the village.

"Let's go, Kirito-kun. Your task is ready to be delivered. I have been busy for most of the night just for this task. If I don't leave my task, I might not be able to complete it before dawn. We have upgraded to level 5 tonight. task!"

The girl's energetic voice forcibly pulled Kirito out of his dull mood.

"This guy is really heartless."

The novice sword and armor items left by this player should be sold at a low price to the equipment merchant in the village for some Col.

Kirito thought, but he didn't know whether it was out of sympathy or a certain kind of reserve, he didn't pick up the equipment, but turned around and left.

Returning to Horuka Village, Kirito and Li Xiang found the middle-aged woman they received the task from.

The ovules of piranhas are a rare medicinal material. My aunt's daughter was seriously ill and needed the medicinal soup made from ovules of piranhas to recover.

"Speaking of which, this is really a classic Western-style fantasy world mission style. All kinds of NPCs you meet on the road ask the protagonist for this or that. Can't you pick it yourself if you have this skill?"

Li Xiang couldn't help but complain.

"Aren't the RPGs that can be found on the market generally in this style? Don't complain."

Kirito shook his head, and handed the quest item to the middle-aged woman with a shiny yellow question mark cursor on her head.

"Thank you, traveling swordsmen, with this forest's secret medicine, my daughter Agatha is finally saved."

The aunt quietly put the received ovules into the pot, then walked to the long cabinet on the south side of the room and opened the door.She silently took out a long sword with a red scabbard from it. Although the sword looked old, it exuded a sense of presence that was completely inferior to the initial equipment.Then she walked back to them, thanked again and handed the sword to Kirito with both hands.

"Thank you, I will use this sword well."

Kirito also took the sword from the aunt's hand with both hands, and the sword of toughness felt heavy and familiar.

See you again, man.

Kirito was a little excited to get the Sword of Tenacity that had helped him a lot during the closed beta.

After delivering the task items, the aunt said another line:
"Although this sword was passed down from our ancestors, no one in our generation knows how to use it. I believe it will be very happy to be able to unsheath it again."

"Kirito-kun, let's go now. We are now at level 3, and we still have to hunt a lot of monsters to complete my quest to upgrade."

Li Xiang urged.

"Got it, let's go."

The two processed the materials dropped from the killed monsters in the village.Kirito used the coins he got to repair his armor.And Li Xiang used his own money to buy a complete set of leather armor including breastplate, armguards, shoulder armor, and leg armor.

After repairing the equipment and purchasing restoration items, Kirito took Li Xiang to the blacksmith shop in the village.

When the two arrived at the door of the blacksmith shop, an old blacksmith with white beard and hair was knocking on a piece of metal on the cutting board.The powerful computing system of the game console even restores the splashing sparks every time the hammer strikes.After beating the metal block to dark red, the old blacksmith put the metal block on the chopping board back into the nearby furnace.

Above the head of the blacksmith NPC is his name: George, and a flashing exclamation mark, which means that this person has tasks for the player to pick up.

"Mr. George, may I help you?"

In SAO, NPC characters are equipped with simple AI programs. If you want to take on tasks, just talk to them normally.

If the player wants to better play the role of a "brave", of course, he can politely ask the other party about his troubles.And if you directly express to him that you want to take the task, you can also trigger the NPC to issue the task normally.

Li Xiang, as a good young man in the new era, consciously maintains a minimum of courtesy to NPCs.

"Oh, it's the swordsman who traveled through this place. I do have some troubles and need your help."

Then, the old blacksmith George told Li Xiang the reason why he wanted to get help.

To give a brief summary, George Sr.'s wife passed away due to illness a few years ago.Mary, a widow in the village, also lost her husband unexpectedly a few years ago.Since the distance between the two families is not too far, they can get in touch with each other occasionally, and they got to know each other once they came and went.

Over time, old George fell in love with Mary and hoped to reorganize his family with her.But right now he doesn't know the attitude of the other party.He wants to give the other party a piece of jewelry, expressing his heart tactfully.There is a group of prairie wolves living on the grassland in the north of the village. Their fangs are white and shiny, very beautiful, and they will look good if they are used to make jewelry.George hoped that Lee would like to help him collect 50 prairie wolf fangs, which would be used to make a necklace and presented to Mary.

If Li Xiang is willing to help him with this favor, Old George is willing to give Li Xiang a two-handed sword he carefully crafted.

"Well, I was saving lives and helping the wounded just now, but now I'm a matchmaker."

At the entrance of the village, Li Xiang, who just took over the task of "Beautiful Sunset", said.

Kirito waved the sword of toughness in his hand from side to side, familiar with the heavier feel of the sword of toughness than the novice sword he used before, and explained:

"Our current position is only the initial area of ​​the first floor of the game. These tasks are not difficult, and they are for us to practice. The game designer is also relatively casual in the design of the task content. When we reach the Raiders Maze Area (Unicom upper and lower two) The area of ​​the first floor is the area with the highest level of monsters and the highest level of danger in each floor. ), there will be tasks with more interesting plots."

"By the way, what does the defensive boss on this floor look like? Didn't you get to the ninth floor during the closed beta? Tell me about it."

"Of course, the first floor boss I encountered during the closed beta was the kobold lord Irfang..."

The voices of the two gradually faded away.
