I like traveling the most

When the boss was destroyed, the remaining kobold guards in the back were also wiped out. The torches hanging on the surrounding walls turned from dark orange to bright yellow, and the oppressive feeling covering the lord's room dissipated.

No one broke the silence in the room.

Is it really over?

Will there be any difference from the closed beta test?

All the members raised their weapons and looked around blankly, as if they were afraid that the kobold lord would revive again and enter the second stage.

No one set a flag at this time, saying something like "successful", which made people want to complain.

Until——

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Kobayashi congratulated softly.

As if to agree with Kobayashi, everyone's system sent new messages to every player present, which were the experience points gained and the allocated Kell. Kirito was slightly different. He took the last blow and obtained the props dropped by the boss.

"Oh oh oh——————"

All the people who saw the same message had expressions on their faces at this time. After a moment of brewing, they immediately burst into fierce cheers. Some of them raised their hands to cheer, hugged their companions, and even performed messy dances.

In the storm of noise, Liu Zi slowly came to Xiao Lin's side, and she lowered her head slightly.

"I'm sorry, Master Xiao Lin. If I hadn't been so stubborn in the end, I would have been..."

"It's okay, Liu Zi. Don't blame yourself, I'm glad you're okay."

Xiao Lin didn't care about the gains and losses of the moment. Compared with the insignificant BOSS rewards, he certainly cared more about his companions.

It's just that the expression of the venomous maid was not good. In her opinion, she was the best doll made by Y, and even the worst in the series should not make such a mistake. The arrogant doll maid lady couldn't accept her own mistakes.

For such a maid, Xiao Lin certainly hugged her in his arms, and then kissed her hard in front of everyone, leaving her no room for resistance.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

The surrounding players saw this scene and shouted in excitement. They probably thought that Xiaolin was venting his dissatisfaction that he almost wiped out the whole army. However, other players were also very unhappy to see the two of them showing off their affection.

At the same time, Agil also surrounded them.

"Very beautiful command. If it weren't for you, we would definitely be in a mess, and maybe a few people would die because of it."

"Don't blame me for not doing anything at the beginning."

"How could it be."

The two fists touched in the air.

Agil also knew that the person who pulled this team together was Diabel, so he could only be the commander of this coalition. If someone suddenly jumped out to seize the command, it might cause the team to disperse. This is also a simple and easy-to-understand truth that everyone understands.

Sato Kazuma and others joined him.

Alice admired Xiaolin's handsome operation just now, and her eyes were shining with light and she was moved to death. She asked Kobayashi to teach her that fighting style if she had a chance, and Kobayashi would certainly not refuse, but she probably couldn't learn it.

Koharu said arrogantly that these were useless and she didn't care at all; Rinko admired Kobayashi as much as Alice, which made Koharu feel jealous.

Then Kirito came over shyly.

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Kobayashi and others' faces. He was not shy, but there was something else in his social phobia.

Then he bowed deeply to Kobayashi.

"Yes, I'm sorry! Wait, I, I will give you the props dropped by the BOSS. And the bounty for defeating the BOSS, I will also give it to you!"

Maybe he felt sorry for stealing the last blow.

Just now, like the lone wolf players in other games who watched in the dark until others beat the wild BOSS to a low health and then jumped out to grab the spoils, their behavior was very bad and disgusting. But——

"No, you did a good job."

"...Huh?"

"At that time, Ryuko was knocked away, I had no attack power, and the other players were all unable to react. What would have happened if the Kobold Lord's chariot, a powerful skill with a super wide range, had been released?"

——Most people would have been hit, and many people might have died.

"You might have indirectly saved many lives. And in such a tense and anxious gap, only Kirito could grasp it and rush forward to the BOSS. Who else can do it?"

"But...!"

"Diabel said at the strategy meeting——"

Kirito wanted to say something, but Krillin interrupted him: "The money will be automatically divided equally among everyone, the experience points will belong to the team that defeated the monster, and the props will belong to the player who obtained it. This rule is tacitly agreed by everyone."

Obviously, this rule was specially set by Diabel in order to get the reward for the last hit, but he didn't expect that it would be used to make wedding clothes for others in the end. Even if the last hit was not Kirito's, it would be Krillin's, anyway, it would not be Diabel's.

Sato Kazuma patted his back and said with a smile: "Why are you so indecisive? Isn't this how you distribute equipment in the game?"

"Take it as a reward for the brave and accept it with peace of mind." Kureya rarely said nice things.

"That's right, it's the same when I'm doing missions. Whoever defeats the enemy can get the reward... Wait a minute, Xiaolin! I want to ask, why is it me who defeats the Demon King's army cadres every time? The final reward But it’s an average score. Isn’t this a bit unfair to me?”

"Oh, how dare you say that. Okay, I'll give you most of the bounty in the future. But correspondingly, you alone will bear the compensation for every time the explosive magic blows up the building."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

The little loli immediately begged for mercy.

Seeing Kobayashi and others laughing and joking, Kirito was very moved by being comforted.

In fact, no one cares about this. People with online IQs like Agil understand that it is more reasonable to survive than to get the props dropped by the BOSS. In addition, the reward distribution has been determined in advance, so they will not care about this. .

But there are two sides to everything.

There are also idiots who refuse to accept it.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Why are you so happy? This is totally unreasonable! Sure enough, you did it anyway! Despicable guy!"

People who extinguish the breath of happiness have heads shaped like cactus. This person is Kibaou. Such a speech that was inconsistent with the atmosphere also caused others to stop cheering and look at him who had an inexplicable attack.

"——You still did it! Use despicable and despicable methods to rob the BOSS's LA!"

The sudden accusation made Kirito's face pale.

I have to admit that he did do something like that, but it was not in the current world, but in the past, in another floating city that only existed for two months - SAO during the closed beta period.

Kibaou's accusation was not only a way of throwing dirt on Kirito for the final blow, but also exposed the fact that Kirito was a closed beta player.

This undoubtedly pushed Kirito to the fire.

After all, Kirito currently represents closed beta players. Originally, closed beta players had a deep rift with ordinary players. Even though Agil had helped the closed beta players regain some credibility, when Kirito's actions were misled by Kibaou The problem was put before us again.

If it is not handled properly, it may lead to confrontation between closed beta players and ordinary players, and if that happens, Kirito will be unpopular with both sides in the future.

Kirito, who was only 14 years old, was already sweating profusely.

"Wait, wait!"

Kazuma Sato jumped out and taunted Kibaou: "When you say that, it's as if you're jealous of not getting LA just now. Can you stop being so shameless? Besides, even if it wasn't Kirito who got the reward for the final blow just now, , It should be from Senior Xiaolin, it has nothing to do with you, right? Thank you very much for standing up for us, thank you for your kindness, but no need."

"...Huh?"

Kibaou never expected that his accusation would turn into pure jealousy.

"That's not true! I'm talking about him being a closed beta player!"

Kibaou immediately avoided the important and took the easy. Just now, Kirito was accused of snatching the reward for the last hit, and now he is blaming the closed beta players again.

"He clearly knew the BOSS's attack mode, but he still concealed it. Isn't it just to steal the BOSS's reward?"

"——You are not allowed to say that!"

Sato Kazuma suddenly retorted violently and loudly, startling Kibaou.

"Listen to me, the closed beta players do know the attack mode of the BOSS or the highly profitable tasks, etc., but they also said it in the strategy book! You are saying this now because you want to provoke the closed beta Is this the confrontation between players and ordinary players? In a game where you will die if you are careful, even if there is a guide book, nearly a thousand people have died! Now the guide book only has the first level of information. What if the closed beta players no longer update it, what do you think? Do you want the players here to die with you?"

I have to say that he knows how to engage in confrontation.

Including Kobayashi, Sato Kazuma was the most eloquent in the team. In just a few words, he made Kibao look like the sinner who deliberately provoked feelings between the two parties. The players around him looked at him in a different way.

After all, almost all players have used the strategy book, and all those who have used it say it is good. If it is really not updated, the living space of ordinary players may become even narrower.

As usual, Sato Kazuma, who is in an absolute advantage, should start talking.

"Now that you know, apologize to me!"

"Apologise?"

"That's right! Say it with me: I'm sorry, Mr. Beta Tester!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Beta Tester..."

"Louder!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. beta tester!"

Following the atmosphere, Kibaou was forced to apologize loudly, even though he himself didn't understand why he was apologizing.

"...Wait a minute! Hey, aren't you an ordinary player? Why are you speaking for the beta testers?!"

"——Yeah, I forgot."

"You guy...!"

Kibaou gritted his teeth and glared at Sato Kazuma, unable to express his anger.

After they made such a fuss, the players present laughed out loud again. It was obviously a very serious matter, but it was resolved in such a confusing manner, which really made people laugh.

Kirito pursed his lips and said nothing.

He didn't know what to say either. After all, he is indeed a closed beta player, and he did steal LA many times during the closed beta period. Now, no matter what he says, he may be misunderstood. The best way is to remain silent and complete your duties.

——Push open the door to the second floor.

This is an honor only given to the player who defeats the BOSS with the last blow. Of course, even if he does not take the initiative to activate it, he will be activated by the system two hours later. However, during the closed beta period, which only lasts for two months, players who have cleared the level will eagerly rush to the next level, trying to clear higher floors within a limited time.

And when everyone thought that the dust had settled and that the closed beta players and ordinary players were living in peace for another day, Kibaou suddenly pointed his finger at Kobayashi.

"...Are you also a closed beta player?"

"What?"

"I just realized something was wrong. You must also be a beta tester, otherwise why did that guy just try so hard to help the beta testers! You don't have to quibble, the evidence is already sufficient! It's your messy fighting style that must be in the game special skills!"

Hearing his words, Xiao Lin almost laughed out loud.

Sato Kazuma and Agil also couldn't stand Kibaou who bit the closed beta players for their misdeeds, and those who didn't know thought that the closed beta players had done something to him.

Xiao Lin stopped the two of them and took a step forward.

"First of all, I'm not a closed beta player. Like you, this is my first time playing this game."

"impossible!"

"No, this is true, Kibaou. I can guarantee this."

Diabel stepped forward.

Xiao Lin didn't expect that he would stand up for him. After all, saying this undoubtedly showed the fact that he was also a closed beta player. No, it was already exposed when he tried to snatch the last blow from the BOSS.

"But that messy fighting style is undoubtedly a special skill!"

Kibaou insisted.

In fact, during the closed beta period, many tasks and rewards were not triggered and understood by players in order to clear higher floors, so Diabel could not confirm this.

Other players also cast curious glances.

"Special skills..."

SAO has special skills. For example, the beard on Argo's face comes with the special skill - [Taijutsu], but that is a punishment for not completing it during the closed beta. Because the beard has become her characteristic, she took the initiative to draw a beard during the closed beta period to make it easier for other players to recognize her.

In addition to physical skills, there was only one special skill circulated during the closed beta period, and that was [Meditation]. It's just that because of the strange posture and poor recovery speed, almost no one is willing to obtain it.

"It's a pity. This is not a special skill."

"impossible--"

"You know, SAO is very special. Unlike other skills that can only use the mouse and keyboard to perform fixed actions, in this game you can do almost any action, provided you have the strength."

Seeing that everyone was interested, Xiaolin decided to teach them a lesson.

Xiaolin’s mother’s class has started!

He first picked up three stones on the ground and played with them like a clown in a circus.

"——Skill [Acrobatics], it allows you to unlock a lot of special moves."

Then he grabbed three stones in his hand and threw them out again, during which the stones lit up with a light blue light.

"——Skill [Throwing], it can use flying props such as stones and shurikens. In addition, the cooling time of this skill is one hundred and twenty seconds, so you need to match it with another skill."

With a flick of his left wrist, the transparent silk thread was thrown into the distance.

"——Skill [Fishing], it allows you to fish anywhere. Of course, you can't catch fish on land. But the advantage is that this skill is a universal skill, and the cooldown time is only five seconds, which is very short. . Grasp the rhythm in the battle and achieve seamless connection. ”

He looked at the stunned crowd.

"This game is very open. Skill activation is also determined by the system through posture. If the posture is inaccurate, the damage will be reduced or the activation will simply fail. But at the same time, it also allows you to do unexpected things anywhere. That’s right. After all, I’ve never heard of a game where you can use the [Fishing] skill on land.”

This is also the reason why Xiaolin doesn't kill the BOSS personally even if the kobold lord only has 1% of his health left. Because all of Xiaolin's skill system judgments were unsuccessful and his attacks did no damage, he could only control Liu Zi to deal damage. So, the limitations of the game!

Of course that's not to say it's all bad.

There are many benefits. In addition to what Xiaolin just showed to help Liu Zi move in the air, he can also use his neutral position to cleverly eliminate the stiffness after releasing Liu Zi's skills.

"As for the rest, it just depends on talent."

The fingers of Xiaolin's left hand are extremely flexible and weave circles, squares, pentagons, and even the Buffy Tower in the palm of his hand. The speed is dazzling and the accuracy is amazing.

He showed everyone what talent is, and also made everyone understand that almost no one can replicate this skill. This kind of skill that is independent of the system but still exists gives Xiaolin a title.

—— ever-changing!

I found out that the old thief was serious about eating books. In the first version, Kirito proudly told Klein that he had been to the eighth floor, and then in the attack chapter, it became the tenth floor (he saw the kobold on the tenth floor). The monster uses a long straight knife), and in the final Starless Night, it was said that beta testers had reached the sixth floor. Also, the closed beta period was originally two months, and it became one month for the Attack Chapter, which was... quite difficult.
