I like traveling the most

"Isn't that really a special skill?"

"no."

"Really?"

"real."

"hiss----"

Argo Tactics leaned back and took a breath, and immediately looked in awe of the man in front of her. She looked like a mouse and was suddenly funny and cute.

The two of them are currently in a cafe on the main street of Urubas on the second floor.

Sato Kazuma and others did not follow directly, but went back to clean up the remaining tasks on the first floor. During that gap, Kobayashi received a system email from Argo, which said that he hoped to know clearly that he was in BOSS. Skills used in wartime.

It must be said that she is a successful intelligence agent.

Regardless of the source of the information, within two hours of clearing the level, she already knew what happened in the BOSS battle. This keen sense of intelligence was amazing.

Of course, Argo would not collect information in vain. She also exchanged the special skills during the closed beta period. Even if Xiaolin said that this was not a special skill, she had to believe it after repeated confirmation and a live performance.

"Ah... what a pity, 5W Cole is gone."

"5W? Who is so generous?"

"I can't say that. The most important thing about selling intelligence is protecting customer information. I'm sorry."

Xiao Lin was just a little surprised and mentioned it casually.

In fact, Argo still had a bottom line. Even though she always said that she could sell her measurements as long as she paid money (which she actually did), there was still one piece of information that she would definitely not sell.

That is the true identity of the closed beta players.

Maybe the people who bought special skills with them are also closed beta players. Ordinary players are still immersed in the joy of clearing the level. Only closed beta players are thinking about how to accumulate advantages. How can they let go of special skills like Xiaolin?

Argo lay on the table and said in a taunting manner: "I feel that the boss is very special now."

"…Why do you say that?"

"You see, the boss's skills are all skills that are not recognized by the system, which means there is no damage at all. And the boss's output must be borne by others - so the scythe user uses all powerful but stiff Very high skills, right?”

"Yeah, indeed."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin nodded.

Argo sighed again: "So, boss, you and her, entrusting your lives to each other, is strange no matter how you think about it."

"But it doesn't look special to me."

"...Eh?"

Xiao Lin smiled at the dumbfounded information dealer.

Argo was not an idiot. She suddenly understood that this was a normal thing for the two of them, and she couldn't help but start to think about their careers in reality.

"Okay, that's the end of my topic."

Xiao Lin knocked his fingers down on the table and reminded Argo who was lying on it: "Miss Intelligence Agent, you will not forget what you promised before, right? In addition, if you want to use the special skill [meditation] as a reward, there is no need. I already know this information.”

"...Ahhhh——"

After a brief silence, Argo suddenly screamed like crazy, startling all the passers-by.

"What, what's wrong? Are you shouting suddenly?"

"I didn't get the information, I didn't say anything about the 5W Cole, and my intention to use the [Meditation] skill to fool me was discovered... It's a big loss for me!!!"

Such a wail that makes the listener sad and the listener weeping is really... really pleasing to the eye.

After all, what he likes most is watching people eat up.

In order to maintain his reputation as an intelligence agent, Argo finally revealed information about a special skill - physical skills. That's where the beard on her face came from, and the nickname Mouse came from. And it happens to be on the second level, so you can do it directly.

"Uuuuuuuuah, what a big loss, what a big loss."

"Stop pretending to cry here. This is not the only special skill."

There are many special skills, some can be learned by an unlimited number of people, and some are unique. The standard examples are Kirito's [Two Sword Style] and Heathcliff's [Holy Sword], while Taijutsu can be taken by everyone. Skills that can be learned after completing prerequisite tasks.

Of course Xiao Lin understood why she was so pretentious.

"I promise not to spread it or use it to make profit."

"...Really, boss?"

"real."

"Thank you so much!"

After receiving Xiaolin's answer, Argo beamed, his cute and cunning look just like a shrewd mouse. She should have a lot in common with Megumin's problem children.

"Okay, after this, I have information that I want to buy from you."

"What information is it?"

"Information for founding a guild."

In fact, Kobayashi asked Kirito this question after the BOSS battle. However, this player who was a lone wolf during the closed beta period told Kobayashi that he did not know the information about the creation of the guild. Because he is a lone wolf, he doesn't care about the guild, which is a very reasonable explanation.

"Information from the guild means that the boss has ideas in this regard?"

"yes."

Xiao Lin did not deny it.

Creating a guild is inevitable for them. In addition to recruiting more talents, it can also give those who feel lonely and fearful on the first level a sense of security, and it can also play a logistical role in the strategies of Xiaolin and others.

"Then boss, you've asked the right person! The guild mission is on the third floor..."

Afterwards, Argo told him the information about the guild leader's mission, and Xiaolin paid the information fee very readily.

Seeing Xiaolin so generous, Argo's eyes lit up, and he wanted to sell all his information to Xiaolin, but the numerous and complicated information was of no use to him, and in the end he only symbolically selected information about the flying sword skill.

In fact, it is an advanced version of the [Throwing] skill.

You should know that there is no magic in SAO, and the only weapons that can attack from a distance are flying swords, and they are actually used as auxiliary weapons.

The attack mode of betting all the ability points on the flying sword skills and then throwing flying knives to hit monsters is of course very exciting, but in the death game, except for Xiaolin, no one will use this kind of ability for fun.

... Sato Kazuma is half.

In addition, this flying sword is not a real flying sword, but actually the material of monsters with paralysis poison and corrosive acid, such as the poisonous needle of the giant venomous bee, the tail of the black scorpion, etc. If Xiaolin can get those things and add special effects to the silk thread...

In the game, it is actually a very famous school.

——Special effects school!

So after getting the information, Xiaolin and Aqua and others leveled up on the second floor.

Originally, Koharu gave the most suitable leveling location in the village to the east, but now Xiaolin had to come to the village of Marome, southeast of Urubas on the second floor, to hunt the most troublesome monster type in the early stage - the wind wasp.

This is a bee-shaped monster with green stripes on its black body.

It is 50 centimeters long. If it appeared in the real world, it would definitely be the largest insect in the world, but among the monsters living in Aincrad, it is classified as the smallest monster.

For the game of the second-level leveling point, its health and attack power are not high, and it is not a difficult monster for Xiaolin and others.

...It should be like this.

"Hey! Darkness, why did you rush into the monster group without caring about anything? Although you drew the monster's hatred, you almost died just now!"

"But, but... the feeling of being paralyzed by the bee sting... is great!"

Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes at the perverted female knight whose cheeks were red and she was enjoying it very much, and then pointed at Aqua and Huihui in the distance and blamed them loudly.

"——You two over there, are you here for a picnic in the wild? Help me kill monsters!"

"Wait a minute Kazuma, I'm the high priest, I can't kill monsters at all!"

"Kazuma, I'm a great magician. If it were magic, I would definitely be able to solve them easily, but now I can't do anything."

The two of them said it with reason.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was an excuse.

Yoyo and Rain, who are also great magicians, are still working hard to kill monsters, while Aqua and Huihui are just shooting basketballs.

"Okay, I get it. In other words, you two are useless, right? In that case... Senior Kobayashi, expel them from the team."

"I agree."

"Eh——————?!" X2

Aqua and Huihui were stunned when they heard Kobayashi nod in agreement, and then cried and shouted that they would help and not abandon them. Sato Kazuma took the opportunity to make the two lazy guys sign a lot of unfair contracts and squeezed them. I don't know why, this man seems to have become tough in the game, even Kureya is often suppressed by him.

Maybe he is so confident because he has come to the field he is good at.

But this is a good thing.

I hope Sato Kazuma can keep it up.

While they were arguing, several major events also happened in SAO.

The first is the clearance of the first level.

Although it has been a month since the server was launched, and nearly a thousand people have died during this period, the remaining players have also seen the hope of clearance, and many people have even plucked up the courage to take up weapons to contribute to the clearance. It must be said that Aqua contributed greatly to this.

Then there was the division among the players who attacked the BOSS.

Because the identity of the closed beta players, mainly Diabel, was exposed, some players thought that he organized these people to attack the BOSS for his own interests, and wanted to snatch the props dropped by the BOSS's final blow, and regarded them as tools. In fact, Diabel did have such an intention, so he did not make any excuses.

Even without Kirito, there was still a gap between the closed beta players and ordinary players.

In addition, Kiba left the group.

What he hated most was the closed beta players, so he took away many people under the banner of anti-closed beta players.

In fact, this is very common in the game. The only difference is that Diabel is a closed beta player. This identity was over-interpreted, causing his kindness to become intentional. It can only be said that Kiba's words indirectly hurt Diabel... No, considering that he indulged Kiba to accuse, it should be said that the boomerang pierced himself.

Finally, Kirito and Asuna left the team.

Kirito, a lone wolf player, is not good at teaming up with others, so he left the team after the boss battle.

As for Asuna... Darkness sincerely invited her to join, but the rich girl still refused. After the boss battle, she decided to become stronger on her own and not hold others back.

I really don't understand her self-esteem.

Kobayashi did not do anything to stop Asuna's decision.

You know, the ten of them are now illegal, and they are likely to be under the surveillance of Kayaba Akihiko. Maybe one day he will suddenly attack them and cause a big mess. If Asuna dies accidentally, they will be sinners.

Considering this, Kobayashi decided that all people who join the guild in the future can only be logistical personnel who do not need to kill monsters to level up or go out of the city.

Oh, and there are No-head and Unhappy... Wrong, it's Rinko and Koharu.

The two of them originally wanted to go with Kobayashi, but because Kobayashi was going here to hunt the difficult flying monster Wind Hornet Queen, they had no choice but to go their separate ways.

In addition, Koharu's attitude towards Sato Kazuma has changed a lot.

Unlike the usual disgust and resistance, it is better to say that the arrogant component suddenly decreased, and the coquettish component suddenly increased.

Kobayashi didn't know what happened exactly, but Darkness said that when Koharu was distracted by Kobayashi's fight with the boss, it was Satou Kazuma who blocked the attack of the Kobold Guards.

Was it that time?

Kobayashi remembered that Satou Kazuma suddenly shouted that there were Kobold soldiers in the battle and asked others to help.

Not bad, I underestimated him.

It seems that Satou Kazuma's spring is coming.

But he is like this, usually laughing and even devilish, but he is so handsome at the critical moment.

You can see it when he broke into the palace at night, and he fascinated Kureya and Rain.

Is this another kind of contrast?

Kobayashi began to think.

————

On the tenth day after defeating the first floor boss, the players of the so-called front-line strategy group, including Kirito and Asuna, finally broke through the wide maze area filled with strong minotaurs and came to the hall where the second floor boss was waiting for the players.

This time, there are still eight teams challenging the boss, and Diabel, Kibo and others are still here.

But compared to the previous enthusiasm without considering the level factor, the players who participated in the strategy this time are almost all stronger players.

Kobayashi didn't know about this, but Sato Kazuma told him.

It is said that some high-level players with strong skills feel indignant that even small fish can defeat the boss and pass the level. Some of them are angry because of their fear and retreat before, and some of them are unacceptable because of the self-esteem of high-level players, so this time, powerful players rushed to prove themselves.

So the boss crusade began.

It has to be admitted that the quality of the players this time is much higher than the last time, and the cooperation between the players is also very smooth. Even Diabel's command has become easier. They are all a group of well-known players.

However, compared with Kobayashi and Ryuzi, they are still dwarfed.

"Hey, hey, hey, what is that..."

"That attack method seems strange no matter how I look at it!"

"Is there any need for us to exist?"

The players who saw it for the first time all stared at the master and servant flying around the second-level BOSS, Colonel Bull Nato, holding a giant hammer. The acrobatic attack method was just pleasing to the eye. The BOSS's health dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was no room for them to intervene.

The new players who just joined the strategy group finally understood why the BOSS on the first floor was so easy to attack, and even a ragtag army composed of so many weak players did not die.

With such teammates, I'm really good!
