Infinite Trial from the Giant

From Loki, Xia Tian learned that among the closed beta players, there was an intelligence dealer who specialized in selling intelligence, commonly known as Mouse.

As long as you pay enough money, you can get any information you want from Mouse, even if it is information that Mouse himself does not know, you can pay Mouse to investigate. In addition to selling information, Mouse currently seems to be delivering news to closed beta players.

The most important goal currently facing the closed beta players is, of course, to eliminate the territory boss that blocks the path through the lake in order to enter the next area.

With the help of Mouse, the information about the strategy for the territory boss had basically been passed on to the closed beta test players who used the Holenka base as their activity center. The next day, a large number of closed beta test players began to gather in the open space at the gate of the Holenka base, and Xia Tian and Loki were among them.

In addition to gathering strategies to capture the territory BOSS, Xia Tian had originally planned to see if he could take advantage of this meeting to find Kirito and the other fighters. However, when he got here, he discovered that all the closed beta players, like him and Loki, were wearing hooded cloaks that concealed their shapes and appearances. It was impossible to tell who was who just by looking at the outside.

Everyone is very smart.

The almost unanimous caution and carefulness of these closed beta players did surprise Xia Tian.

In this case, it seems that there is no way to find Kirito smoothly.

"Looks like that's all we have? That's too few, right? Are they not all here, or do they just not want to come? They can't all be dead, right?" Just then, another player came to the open space. He was also wrapped in a cloak and spoke in a loud voice. Then he looked around and continued, "Forget it, thirty people are enough. Everyone here is experienced, so I don't need to say too much nonsense. I'll just say one thing. Although the territory boss over there is still that big toad, I believe everyone here already knows that the information from the closed beta period cannot be guaranteed to be 100% restored. So if you don't want to die, you'd better be more careful."

"You can call me N. If I'm lucky this time, I should be the one to organize this strategy battle. I hope everyone can focus on the strategy. It doesn't matter who gets the final blow. I really don't want to see anyone die at the hands of that toad."

Final blow.

In the world of Sword Art Online, monster experience and money will be automatically divided equally among all players in the team, while the rare items dropped by monsters will only be dropped to the player who gives the monster the final blow, such as Xia Tian's armor blade and the rare enhancement material Black Beetle's hidden elytra, which are directly dropped to Xia Tian in the final blow. It is precisely because of this setting that most closed beta players do not team up to defeat monsters. Even if there are, it is only a two-person team like Xia Tian and Loki. After all, if there are too many people, it will be difficult to divide the ownership of the final blow. If there are two people, as long as they take turns to take it, there will not be too much dispute.

At this moment, the player who called himself N proposed the question of who would get the last hit before the strategy was launched, which was indeed a good thing. After all, there were thirty people present including him. If everyone was thinking about how to get the last hit, then this strategy would basically be half ruined.

Most of the closed beta test players present understood this principle, so no one objected.

"If there is no problem, let's form a temporary team. After the team is formed, we can assign tasks based on the situation."

Seeing that no one objected, the man who called himself N nodded with satisfaction, and then arranged the task of forming a team.

Six people, this is the maximum number of people in a Sword Art Online team. If we continue to increase the number, according to the team-to-team formation, a total of eight teams of forty-eight people can be formed. According to Loki, when the territory BOSS was successfully defeated during the closed beta phase, there was just one team participating. Now, there are only thirty people on the field, and at most only five teams can be formed.

"Everyone is dressed like this, so we can only form a team casually." As he said this, Loki took the initiative to walk towards the player closest to the two.

"Leave a spot." Xia Tian said, without waiting for Loki's reaction, he walked directly towards N in the field, who had not yet been invited to form a team.

"How about it? Do you want to team up with me temporarily?" Xia Tian walked forward and spoke directly without wasting time.

Inviting N to join the team is for no other reason than that he is the commander of this strategy battle. The additional objectives released by the arena all require participation in defeating the floor BOSS. According to the original anime, it is basically suicidal to challenge the floor BOSS alone. In the subsequent floor BOSS strategy, a considerable number of players will definitely form a strategy team to attack the BOSS together. In this case, any fighter like Xia Tian who wants to complete the additional objectives will definitely join these strategy teams. In this case, if you want to increase your damage value to the BOSS as much as possible, you must have a certain understanding of the coordinated operations of such a multi-person team.

And now is the best opportunity. Being in the same team with the player in charge of command will definitely allow you to become familiar with this combat method to the greatest extent.

"Okay."

Receiving Xia Tian's invitation, the other party didn't say much and agreed directly.

Xia Tian, ​​N, Loki and three other players Loki found successfully formed a team. After Xia Tian's team was formed, other players also formed their own teams. The field was no longer as messy as before, but was clearly divided into five parts.

"That's it, I'm Team A." N pointed at himself, then pointed at the other four teams one by one, "Team B, C, D, and E in order."

"The primary goal is a reconnaissance-based exploratory battle. Team A will be responsible for the frontal attack, Teams B and C will assist from the side, and Teams D and E will be the backup. If the BOSS shows any abnormal behavior, join the battle immediately. After using the exploratory battle to fully understand the BOSS's related attack methods, we will solve it together. Now take fifteen minutes to discuss the relevant responsibilities of the members of your team." After speaking, N waved to Xia Tian and others, saying, "Come, let's also assign our respective tasks."

"First of all, here are a few people who participated in the strategy of this BOSS during the closed beta..."
