Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"See through? As for this skill, I personally don't recommend it."

Saying this, Kirito explained to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

[See Through], as the name suggests, can help players see through the weaknesses of monsters. Attacking the weaknesses of monsters will result in additional weakness damage bonus.

It looks pretty good, but in fact during the closed beta period, almost no players chose to add this skill. It can be said to be a useless skill.

Including himself thinks so.

Because [seeing through] is to visualize the weaknesses of the monster, but the weaknesses of the monster itself are fixed, and the same effect can be achieved as long as you remember it with your brain.

At most, in the early stages of land reclamation, [See Through] can directly see the weaknesses of monsters that have never been seen before, saving the cost and time of trial and error.

But even players who don't have this skill can still test out the monster's weaknesses through trial and error. It just takes a little more time.

As for the additional weakness damage, some players have calculated that more than two-thirds of the attacks in the battle must be able to hit the monster's weakness in order to have higher benefits. Otherwise, the overall benefits will not be as good as other skills.

But even he can't guarantee that he can have such a high weakness hit rate in normal combat.

And if you only focus on attacking weaknesses, the overall attack efficiency will decrease. No matter how you look at it, the gains outweigh the losses.

The only application scenario that he could think of for [seeing through] was probably only in the performance BOSS racing challenge, where [seeing through] could be used to its greatest effect.

".Anyway, that's it."

After introducing the general situation, Kirito concluded:

"In today's situation, rather than increasing risks in exchange for additional damage that does not have high returns, I think it is safer to choose to increase the fault tolerance rate."

"So this is ah."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded suddenly, and then decisively chose to add the skill [See Through].

"?"

Looking at the confused Kirito, she smiled and said:

"If you only need a two-thirds hit rate on weak points, I think it's quite easy to achieve."

Easy to implement, right?

Kirito felt that the other party either had some misunderstanding about the number two-thirds, or some misunderstanding about the adjective 'easy'.

But at this moment, he suddenly recalled that in the previous battle, the opponent's attacks against the man-eating plants seemed to have almost all hit the monster's weak points.

Maybe he remembered it wrong, right?

And he remembered that Fujimaru Ritsuka said that she played more stand-alone games. Could it be that the other party was an expert in hard-core games?

If that were the case, it would make sense.

This can also explain why the other party, as a new player, dares to bring another true newcomer here who has never been exposed to the game. Perhaps it is because of his confidence in his own skills?

After all, in terms of pure combat, the difficulty of hard-core stand-alone combat and the skill of the players are significantly higher than those of VRMMO-type games.

Although he was thinking this, when he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka's delicate and lovely face, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

A super cute high-end beautiful girl, she is like a dream character that only exists in light novels.

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to laugh:

"And being able to directly see through the weaknesses of unknown monsters eliminates the cost of trial and error, which can be regarded as improving the error tolerance rate in disguise."

"If you think about it from this aspect, it seems to be no problem."

So Kirito nodded, responded with a smile, and accepted Fujimaru Ritsuka's choice.

Although whether he accepts it or not seems to have nothing to do with him.

After a while, after killing more than a dozen [Small Man-Eating Grasses] along the way, the three finally arrived at Holunka Village.

Different from the grandeur of the initial town, the village of Holunka is completely like a small European medieval village, poor and dilapidated.

But no matter what, this is a safe area designated by the system. When they came here, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's update the equipment first."

Kirito led the two of them to the blacksmith shop in the village.

At this time, other players have appeared in Holunka Village, and most of them should be closed beta players.

The moment they saw the figures of the three people, almost all the players' gazes were either obscure or unabashedly directed towards them.

If nothing else, it’s all because of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Asuna, right?

Kirito was mentally prepared for this situation.

After all, they are both rare beauties in the real world, and they are still together.

Just looking at it like this is pleasing to the eye, and it is no exaggeration to call it the most beautiful scenery in SAO!

Ahem, of course, this is just his opinion for the time being.

Although he was mentally prepared, the scrutiny and jealous glances he occasionally cast towards him while admiring their beauty still made him feel extremely stressed.

But he accepted the pressure!

When he came to the blacksmith shop, after selling the ordinary materials that he had dropped from killing monsters, Fujimaru Ritsuka bought himself a leather half-coat with a relatively high defense, and a spear with a higher attack power than a novice. Bronze spear.

According to the information provided by Kirito, her rare pole weapon mission can only be found in the fourth area.

During this period, in addition to weapons dropped by monsters, she could only use the weapons provided in the system store.

On the other side, Asuna put on bronze light armor corresponding to [Light Metal Equipment].

Although it is a light armor, it looks like it just has a metal chest protector on the chest. Of course, the improved defense is real.

But even so, it adds a dash of heroic temperament to Asuna out of thin air, and a different kind of charm.

After updating the equipment, the three of them came to a private house in the deepest part of the village. In the private house was a middle-aged aunt, who was the NPC who issued the mission.

Kirito submitted the task directly, and while receiving repeated thanks from the other party, he also obtained the other party's family heirloom sword, the rare one-handed straight sword [Sword of Tenacity].

It just doesn't look that good, it doesn't look much different from a beginner's straight sword.

Then Asuna accepted the mission. After accepting the mission, the other party began to explain the introduction and content of the mission.

Since they couldn't skip it, the two briefly listened to the content of the mission, which was that the aunt's daughter was sick, and she had to eat the rare props dropped by monsters as medicine to cure her illness.

While the other party was talking, a childish coughing sound could be heard in the room from time to time. It must be the other party's daughter.

Finally, the aunt's speech ended, and Asuna officially received the mission. Then she immediately took out the [Pan-Eating Plant Ovule] that she had prepared long ago and completed the mission in an instant.

The rare weapon she obtained is called [Toughened Rapier], and its appearance is similar to that of a novice rapier.

However, after completing the task this time, the aunt did not return to her original appearance. Instead, she stood up and put the two ovules into the pot to boil. Then she put the boiled concoction into a cup and carefully brought it into the room. Inside.

The three of them did not leave immediately, but quietly watched the aunt's every move.

Following her movements, the three of them quickly spotted a girl of about seven or eight years old lying on the bed.

"Agatha, come here, this is the medicine that the traveling swordsmen brought back from the forest for you."

"After drinking this, you will definitely be cured."

".Um."

The girl named Agatha stood up slightly, drank the medicine in small sips, then looked curiously at the three people outside the door, suddenly showed a shy smile and said:

"Thank you, big brother and big sister."
