The Advent of the Infinite King

"Is that so? It seems that the timing is almost here. Is there any next step for the previous hidden inheritance mission?" The middle-aged man looked calmly, scanning back and forth on the large and small screens, and asked lightly.

"Not yet, the most recent quest trigger condition is at least ten levels behind the current progress." Another girl with a ponytail replied.

The expression of the man who only took the Chinese New Year did not change, but he tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair with his fingers.That mission was originally set by him on a whim, and the inheritance in the mission was recorded in an ancient book he accidentally obtained, and then put it here.

The settings of the Blood Blade and Brod were also copied from the information recorded in the ancient book. If the sword really had that much power, maybe the reason for the spatial fluctuation has been found.

Originally, he didn't even think about who could inspire this task, let alone being accepted so early, which made him pay more attention to him. A young man with strength and character, this is what he has received evaluation of the person on the task.However, out of privacy protection, he did not investigate the further information of the person who received the task, which made him miss the best time to know the truth.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and after a while he said: "Okay, you guys go back and continue to monitor the data dynamics. If everything is normal after half a month, start the plan and officially release it."

"Yes, doctor." A group of people standing behind bowed their heads and answered, and then Lu Xu went out.

There was only a middle-aged man left in the whole space. He stood up slowly and walked to the right. This place should be a wall, but now it is a huge piece of transparent glass. Looking from here, you can see See the left and right situations of neatly arranged white devices running.

The middle-aged man stands in front of the glass, the lens reflects a white light, and cannot see clearly the emotions hidden in the eyes behind the lens.

Slowly, he smiled slightly, his voice was low, and there was a trace of obsession in it: "A perfect world, a world created by me. So, how will you behave in it? People who are immersed in entertainment , if one day what you thought was false becomes real, I am looking forward to what kind of performance you will have. That day is coming soon."

It turned out that this middle-aged man was Akihiko Kayaba.This empty space is the foundation of the entire SAO, with so many devices working together to form a huge real world in the game.

After standing there for a while, Akihiko Kayaba turned and left.The lights in the room behind him turned off automatically, the screens floating in the air disappeared one after another, and the whole room fell into darkness.

Xie Chen didn't know that he had attracted the attention of Kayaba Akihiko, the final boss, and now he was walking slowly and helplessly, and there was a person following him not far behind, always paying attention to Xie Chen, he thought he was hiding , but did not know that he had been exposed long ago.

Chapter 29 Jill's gift

Xie Chen finally stopped, then turned around and folded his arms and shouted helplessly: "Come out, I've found you a long time ago."

There was no one behind him, and there was no movement.Xie Chen helped his forehead: "Jieer, come out."

There was still no movement after speaking, and after a few seconds, a red head appeared from behind a tree. The face was very familiar, and it was Jere.

He moved out from behind the tree step by step, lowered his head, and secretly glanced at Xie Chen from time to time.Then stood still three meters away in front of Xie Chen.

"Come here." Xie Chen said lightly.

Jieer secretly observed Xie Chen's expression. Seeing his calm expression, he felt uneasy. He secretly bit his lip and moved over slowly.

"Big, my lord" Jere called out cautiously.

"Why have you been following me?" Xie Chen raised his eyebrows.This person has been following him since he went online this time. He wanted to get rid of him, but his speed is not slow, and now he is worried about using the skill of instant shaving in front of others, so let him He has followed until now.

He was hunting this man in the hunting area and watched from a distance, and he followed him relentlessly when he returned to the city to process the materials, which really made him feel helpless.Originally, he thought that he would go to a place where the road was not easy and the road was somewhat gloomy, so that he could retreat in spite of the difficulties.But I didn't expect that this usually timid guy would follow him until now.It really surprised him.In the end, he had no choice but to pierce him.

"I'm nothing. That is, you really can't accept me?" Jieer looked at Xie Chen timidly, his eyes full of expectation and admiration, as well as apprehension and anxiety.

Xie Chen shook his head, "Jier, I remember I've said it many times, I don't need followers now."

Originally thought that this young man would calmly accept and continue all kinds of requests as before, but what he didn't expect was that when Jieer's eyes turned red and his mouth curled up, tears quickly filled his eyes, and his whole face was about to cry .

Xie Chen didn't expect this to be the case at all. If a girl was crying in front of him, he would immediately step forward and coax her into laughter without saying a word.But now, with a boy who was only a little shorter than him standing in front of him, he didn't know what to do.

"Really, is it really not possible?" A crying voice rang out, and Jieer held back his tears and looked at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Jier, you are a man, how can you?"

However, he was interrupted by Jieer before he finished speaking, "Okay, I see." Raising his hand to wipe away his tears, he said to Xie Chen, "I'm annoying you, I'm sorry. In the future Never again, I hope you will accept this at a low price." After speaking, he took off a necklace from his neck and stuffed it into Xie Chen's hand, bowed and saluted, turned around and left without saying anything.

The corner of Xie Chen's mouth twitched, not knowing what to comment on this situation.

Looking at the thin silver necklace in his hand, there is a transparent white spar hanging below it like a crescent moon.He hesitated for a moment, then clicked habitually.The attributes of this necklace emerged in front of him.It's very ordinary, just an ordinary decoration, without any attribute bonuses. If there is anything special, it means that the hardness is particularly high.

Xie Chen was just about to put away the necklace, and when he was thinking of returning it to Jieer when he saw him again, the attribute panel of the necklace fluctuated quietly, and then there were a few more lines on it.

"A matching item has been detected and can be inlaid." What followed was a picture of a blood blade!

Now Xie Chen was really surprised. I don't know where Jieer got it, and why did it match with the blood blade?Could it be that this necklace is also related to the inheritance task?

Suspicion flashed in his eyes, he took out the blood blade, and a small and exquisite miniature long sword slowly showed a shallow dent at the end, which looked similar in shape to a crescent moon pendant.

With the mentality of trying, he put the pendant on the dent that appeared on the blood blade.The red light flickered slightly, and the blood blade and crescent moon pendant slowly floated up.The small sword body of the blood blade slowly returned to its original shape, spinning in mid-air, and the pendant floated above the long sword, exuding a mysterious faint purple light, and slowly falling down.

Seeing that it was about to succeed, the sword god suddenly shone red, then shrank sharply, became smaller and fell.Xie Chen hastily reached out his hand and caught the two objects firmly.The blood blade was as crystal clear as before, and the meniscus pendant had returned to the previous Mo Yang, looking like a transparent stone.

When I was wondering what the reason was, a question popped up above the blood blade saying "Insufficient energy, unable to inlay."

"Insufficient energy? Could it be the reason why the blood blade was sealed?" Xie Chen looked at the two things in his hand and frowned slightly.

Putting the blood blade away again, he thought about the crescent moon pendant, but still wrapped it around his wrist and hid it in his sleeve.Xie Chen pursed his lips, thinking about asking about this necklace the next time he saw Jieer.

Then he clicked on the map to confirm the direction, and quickly rushed forward with his feet.

But while he was running, a weird but very real thought appeared in his mind, Jere, can't it be a girl?After all, it is not when the entire game is officially launched and imprisoned. Everyone's image is set at will, including gender.

Xie Chen, who suddenly thought of this possibility, was stunned for a moment. In this way, some behaviors of Jieer's character before are completely reasonable, because she is a girl at all.

Xie Chen slowed down and looked back, the way he came from was completely hidden in the dark forest, the sky was slowly turning dark, and he didn't know if Jieer was so timid that he would be so scared to death.

Xie Chen, who was standing there, was thinking about whether to apologize to her. With a light swipe of his hand, he found the friend column, as if he should add her as a friend.Sure enough, it didn't take long for Jieer's name to appear, but it had already turned gray, and it seemed that he had gone offline.

Chapter 30 Moonlight Pendant

"No way, I can only talk about it next time we meet. Really, why do girls like to play transvestite?" Xie Chen said to himself.With a sigh, he put away the panel and started on the road again.

Jieer, who was offline, lay in a daze on the bed, his eyes still a little red.

"Really, why didn't your lord agree to me? Could it be that I was too annoying? This time is the last time. I had hoped that if I succeeded this time, I would stay, but now I can only run away. I went abroad. I don’t know when I will come back. I hope I can catch up with the release of the official version.”

At this time, a female voice came from outside the door, "Lil, go to bed early. I have to catch a plane tomorrow."

"Okay mom—" Gera responded in a long voice.Then he reached out to turn off the light, rolled over to the other side of the bed, hugged a doll and closed his eyes.In my mind, I couldn't calm down.A shallow sigh sounded in the darkness, "I leave you my favorite necklace, I hope you don't forget me."

Jieer's wish did come true, because the crescent moon pendant came in handy when Xie Chen's mission got stuck. After combining with the blood blade, the blood blade was completely unsealed, and thus defeated a powerful opponent.Of course, that's for later.

And Xie Chen, who is still thinking about talking to Jieer the next day, never expected that she would not see her again until the plot officially started. At that time, she was abroad and was troubled by various things. She missed the official release of SAO , so it can be said that a catastrophe was avoided.

At this time, I have already reached the depths of the forest. I called up the mission map, looked at the surrounding environment, and said in a low voice: "It should be here. The man in black robe who wandered from the angle of the moon should appear soon. , and then get the quest items and go back and hand in the quest chain to complete, and the experience gained should be enough for me to rise to level 37."

He looked up, then locked on to a lush tree, and jumped up gently with his feet, quietly waiting for the mission target to appear.

The forest at night is quiet, only the light of the moon shines down, passing through the branches and leaves to form blurred light spots on the ground, and the cool wind blows from time to time, making people feel inexplicably gloomy.

At this time, a faint sound of "cracking, crackling" came over, breaking the silence.Xie Chen's eyes narrowed, "Here we come!"

Under the shadow of the tree, a skinny figure wearing a black and worn-out robe appeared in his line of sight. His exposed hands were dry, and his joints seemed to be rubbing against each other when walking, making a clicking sound.

When the man in black came to a suitable position, Xie Chen jumped up, and the silver long sword drew a icy sword light under the moonlight and stabbed straight towards it.

Hit and hit!The blood bar of the man in black dropped by one-third in an instant. It seemed to be irritated, the nails on both hands swelled up, flashing faint blue light, and rushed towards Xie Chen.Xie Chen pulled out the long sword from its heart, turned around and got out of the attack range.

The man in black pounced on him again, and the two of them wrestled together.The man in black was splashed with blood, but Xie Chen was unscathed, but he didn't see that the crescent moon pendant on his wrist was stained with blood, and the moonlight flashed a white light, and then the blood disappeared not see.Inside the supposedly transparent and flawless pendant, there was an extremely tiny red thread.

It didn't take long for Xie Chen to deal with the man in black, and successfully got the mission items.The forest was quiet again.Along the way, Xie Chen left quickly. Although there is no light in the forest and it is dim, it is not a problem for Xie Chen. Night vision is the most basic skill. Even if he can't see his fingers, he can clearly distinguish things. Chu.

Back in the town, I found an old man who sent the mission before, and after handing over the mission items I got this time, the mission chain was successfully completed.

Seeing that the experience value on the panel rose rapidly, breaking through 36 and reaching level 37, Xie Chen smiled with satisfaction.What satisfied him was not the upgrade, he didn't really care about it, but because the level requirement of a skill book he got before was exactly 37.

Xie Chen in a good mood poked the pendant on his wrist and left with a smile.

But he didn't know that when he was trying to embed the meniscus pendant on the blood blade, there was an unusual fluctuation in the data flow in that area, and a screen in the room lit up by itself, and there were constantly changing and increasing data on it. A certain group in the group paused slightly, and there was a blank.When it finally failed, it slowly returned to normal, and the screen went dark.

Only the machine is running in this room, and the different changes that have occurred in the past have not been seen by anyone, which means that no one will know.

Xie Chen was learning new skills, and after learning them, he began to look for suitable targets for training.And in the labyrinth area on the 24th floor, Kirito looked at the stone door opened in front of him with some surprise and dullness. Inside, it was the gatekeeper boss of this floor!He just accidentally touched a piece of sculpture, and then this stone door appeared. After pushing it open, he found that this was the 24th floor boss that many people were looking for.

Kirito swallowed, frowned, and clenched his fist hanging by his side tightly. Does he have the ability to single out the boss?like that person.

Thinking of the skills he had learned before, he gained more confidence.

Slide out the menu and take out a silver long sword, but the previous long sword was not put back either.Holding two swords like this, he walked slowly and firmly into the stone gate.

The BOSS was awakened, the huge figure was approaching Kirito's direction, his eyes turned cold.Shouting like a BOSS and rushing over, the two swords slashed forward fiercely, the rare skill, the double sword style was activated!

There are still many people in the maze, and they often find some valuable things or rare treasure chests, and some people have to return to the resurrection point due to carelessness or other reasons, and then start all over again.

Chapter 31 reaches the [-]th floor

When the others didn't know, someone was facing the boss alone, and no one knew what the outcome would be.

Somewhere on the fourth floor of No.20, a blue light flashed lightly, and a tall and thin young man with black hair and black eyes appeared on the spot.He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said softly; "There is still a long way to go, the proficiency is far from enough, it seems that it is time to work hard to practice."

This young man is Kirito, and judging from his appearance, he should have failed in the duel.He stood there for not long, then turned and left.On the road, I happened to meet a person with a bright red cloak, black hair and red eyes, and a silver scabbard hanging around his waist. It was Xie Chen.

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows, smiled at Tongren, and passed by without hesitation.Tongren stood where he was, turned his head to look at Xie Chen's back, thinking to himself, will I be as strong as him one day?Also, this person's smile is so familiar, I always feel that I have seen it in reality.

After thinking about it for a while, he had no idea, Kirito put this idea behind him, it is better to think about how to upgrade more usefully if he has this time.

Xie Chen returned to the teleportation point from the hunting area, and then went to the No.11 floor.After dealing with the materials he got, he went back to the hotel room he had settled down for a long time.

Putting away the long sword, he lay down on the bed.Hold your right hand high in front of your eyes, and hold it slowly.The skill book I got before was a counter-attack double fencing skill called Nilun, which was very effective against monster attacks. After continuous practice, he almost emptied the monsters in that hunting area in a short time, and the effect was also very good. Obviously, proficiency has risen a lot.

Slowly withdrew his hand, looked at the time was almost up, Xie Chen logged off.Then he woke up in his own home.Glancing at the phone, Asuna's text message hadn't arrived yet.

He took the initiative to send it, "Asuna, it's time to go to bed." After a while, the phone vibrated, and the reply was, "Yeah, I'm going to bed. By the way, I don't have any game equipment. My mother said it would delay the class so Don't let me play it very much. But when the time comes, I will secretly use my brother's, and then follow you to see it."

Xie Chen smiled, and quickly typed a line with his fingers, "This matter is not in a hurry. I don't know when the closed beta will end." Then send it.

"What I'm saying is, let's talk about it later, it's never too late anyway."

"Well, go to bed early."

"Okay, good morning and evening."

"Good night."

Putting down the phone, Xie Chen rubbed the center of his eyebrows. Xie Chen didn't know how he felt about whether Asuna was going to be trapped in SAO like before.So after thinking about it many times, he decided not to interfere and just let things happen.

If Asuna happens not to be logged in, then he will clear the level as soon as possible inside.If it is the same as before, then he will always protect her inside.
