The Advent of the Infinite King

Chapter 34 Initial

The field of vision gradually became clearer, and Xie Chen knew that this was the square in the center of the starting town.There are blue lights flashing around, which means that players are constantly logging in.

He paid attention to the first batch of people who entered, because the step of constructing the shape and choosing a name was omitted, so nine out of ten people who entered early were players during the beta test.Sure enough, after looking around with his extraordinary eyesight, many familiar faces were already there.

Everyone's equipment is similar, and it is the novice equipment uniformly issued by the system.

Xie Chen watched quietly. The excited people who entered here didn't know yet that this place has been imprisoned, and they can only go out if they successfully pass the customs. A total of 1 people have become Kayaba Akihiko's pawns and this building he built. world of toys.

There are more and more people on the square, some of them are chatting with others in place, and some of them leave quickly in a certain direction with a clear goal, obviously they have a goal in their hearts.

Immediately, Xie Chen pulled out his panel and checked the items. Sure enough, besides the most basic novice items, a crystal clear blood jade sword and a transparent pendant appeared inside. The red filaments will be ignored if you don't pay attention.

Take out the pendant and wrap it around your wrist as before, and then check the task bar, a golden task logo quietly appears on the interface.

Nodding in satisfaction, Xie Chen put away the panel.

At this time, shouldn't Asuna have arrived?Let me look for it.Xie Chen thought in his heart.

He scanned back and forth carefully, and then used his mental power to investigate, but he still couldn't find Asuna.Are you not logged in?Xie Chen thought in his heart.

Finding a pillar, he leaned on it and waited quietly.Because there are not a few people who wait for others like him, so it is not too conspicuous.

It's just that his black-haired red eyes were immediately filled with surprise and then admiration in the eyes of some people passing by, but under Xie Chen's cold expression, he didn't approach him, but nodded to him quickly left.

After half an hour, Asuna was still not found. Xie Chen glanced at the huge square indifferently, and the complex expression in his eyes was clearly visible.

Then he turned around slowly and left from the square.

Asuna sat quietly, then moved her fingers slightly, the movements gradually became larger, and a series of light and clear piano sounds flowed out from under her fingers.On one side, a long-haired woman in a long skirt looked at the scene in front of her with satisfaction.

At the end of the song, the long-haired woman clapped her hands in satisfaction and praised her a few words.

Asuna secretly exhaled, today's class is finally over, and I can sneak to my brother to log in the game with his device in a while, I don't know if I am in a hurry in the morning.He inquired that there was a very important matter this afternoon, and her brother would not come back without a short while.

After the piano teacher left, Asuna also left.He came to a door and pushed it open quietly.

Inside is a lounge and entertainment room, a game device is lying quietly in it. The SAO package is sitting on the table, and it looks like the game inside has already been installed.

Slowly lie down on the seat, put on the induction helmet, and start.Step by step, according to the requirements of the system, data entry was carried out everywhere, and Asuna finally logged in.A body shape is selected, then adjusted.What finally appeared was the image of a tall female swordsman with her ponytail tied high, looking heroic. She nodded in satisfaction and kept it.

When seeing the character's name, Asuna entered a string of characters without thinking, "Asuna", and clicked to confirm.

At this time, not a short time has passed since the last login time, and the crowd gathered on the square has decreased a lot, and they are already scattered in all directions towards the starting town.

Asuna looked around curiously, and she couldn't help being a little surprised by the unique feeling. Although she already knew what the game of full stealth was like, she would only know its magic and charm when she felt it for herself. where.

Slowly paced forward on the square, looking for Xie Chen's figure by the way.During the period, there were many people who wanted to win over Asuna to form a team, but they were all rejected by her. Some still wanted to continue persuading, but retreated under her cold eyes. After all, the image she set up was quite bluffing. of.

Asuna didn't send the letter to Xie Chen's figure, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her mouth was pursed unconsciously. It seems that Chen has already left. How can I find it in such a large area now?Otherwise, it's better to send a text message after going offline to agree on a meeting place. As for now, let her take a good look around.

After making up her mind, she relaxed a lot, put on a relaxed expression, chose a direction at random, and left.The scenery here is really good, she thought to herself, she slowed down and looked at the surrounding scenery intently.

Xie Chen didn't go too far after leaving the square, but chose a place at random, and dealt with the ferocious wild boars a little carelessly.Some rabbits that looked like white, tender and cute, but were also ferocious, were also dealt with by him.

It may be because there was no fatal reason, the rabbit kicked its legs on the ground a few times before it burst open and disappeared as a light spot.

Sighing slightly, he sat directly on the grass. The days in the town of the beginning were really leisurely, and even the monsters were so fragile that he didn't even draw out his sword.

At this time, a wild boar respawned in the place just now. It seemed to smell Xie Chen's scent, paused in place, then turned around and rushed towards Xie Chen.

But Xie Chen didn't get up at all, but picked up a small stone from his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and threw it forward with his right hand suddenly!

The fast-flying stone embedded itself into the wild boar's forehead at an extremely fast speed, and then penetrated at an unabated speed, passed out from behind its body, and landed far away.

Chapter 35 The Bell of Omen

The wild boar that rushed over in mid-air paused and fell downward.After the body swelled, it burst open and turned into light spots that gradually disappeared.

Because the activation of the sword skill here is to make an initial action, and then the system will make a judgment, and the sword skill will automatically hit the target.So even if it is a stone, the effect is the same.

But Xie Chen was just sitting on the ground now, and he didn't deliberately adjust his movements after picking up the stone, so let alone focus on the target by himself, he didn't even judge his sword skills.

So that is to say, he did it entirely by his own strength. Just relying on himself, he threw a small stone at an extremely fast speed, piercing through the whole wild boar, killing him with one blow.

If someone sees this scene, maybe the first thought is to complain to the administrator, complaining that Xie Chen has a cheat.

The grassland where he is located is sparsely populated, and it is not too far from the starting town. Anyway, he will go back soon, so he didn't go far.

Looking around, the scenery in front of me is the same as during the closed test, there is no difference.The shades of green spread to the sky, scattered with low trees and some unknown wild flowers.

From time to time, you can see white or gray rabbits inside, which look peaceful and beautiful, except that some of these rabbits will suddenly open their mouths and rush towards you ferociously.

Xie Chen was guarding the respawn point. Due to the low level, the respawn speed of wild boars is not slow. Coupled with the occasional ferocious rabbits, Xie Chen's experience value is not slow to rise.

The sky gradually darkened, and the orange sunlight slanted down from the west.

A breeze blows slowly, accompanied by a distant bell.Xie Chen's eyes froze slightly, and finally came.He stood up slowly, looking at a burst of blue light enveloping himself with his usual expression.

Such scenes happen in various places on the first floor, as long as there are players, every place is the same.

At this time, Asuna was holding a sword and confronting a rabbit. The combat power of this rabbit could not be underestimated, the speed was frighteningly fast, and her health bar had dropped by one-third.

But she is a very smart girl, with wisdom, perseverance, and excellent learning ability, so just relying on the basic instructions of the system, she has already learned sword skills in a decent way.

Just when she was about to launch the final attack to finish off the rabbit, the bell rang, and when she lost her mind slightly, the rabbit on the opposite side rushed over.

Asuna was surprised, and hurriedly raised her sword to resist, but a burst of blue light lit up, and the pounced rabbit went straight through. It turned out that there was no one in the place where Asuna was.

The bell gradually spread, covering every inch of space on the first floor.

Opening her eyes again, Asuna saw a familiar scene. Isn't this the place where she first logged in?what is the problem?Asuna frowned, looked around calmly, and found that there were still blue lights on, and people appeared there one after another.

"It seems that the system was transferred in a unified way. Could it be that there is some activity?" Asuna said softly.

People around are also discussing, "What's going on?"

"Not at all but it looks like the logout button is missing."

"What? What's going on here?"

"Is it an official event?"

"It turned out to be an act of forced transmission, what does it represent?"

Xie Chen stood among the crowd, lowered his eyes slightly, his face was calm and unwavering.

The bell was still ringing again and again, as if it was beating on the hearts of everyone, adding to the tense atmosphere for no reason.

Asuna heard that someone said that she could not log out, she called up the panel in surprise, and then she found that where there should be a logout button, it was blank.Does this mean that you can't get out?

Asuna, who hadn't played any games before, couldn't help becoming nervous at this moment, biting her lower lip slightly, she always had a bad feeling.

With violent mood swings, she quietly clenched her white hands, then shook her head to calm herself down.This should be a problem with the game system, it will always be resolved.

Xie Chen, who was standing far away on the other side of the square, seemed to have sensed it, and looked towards Asuna's place proudly.But the crowd was blocked by layers, and he didn't find anything.

Just when he was about to use his mental strength to investigate, the bell stopped abruptly.Xie Chen knew that Kayaba Akihiko was about to appear, so he suppressed his thoughts and watched the situation quietly.

The eyes of the crowd in the square were attracted by a blood-red transparent hexagonal chip that appeared in the sky, and there were words on it, which they couldn't see clearly due to the distance.

But Xie Chen could see clearly that the black text on it was "WARNING" which represented a warning.

This chip just appeared, and with it as the center, countless blood-red hexagonal chips spread densely, covering the entire square at an extremely fast speed, forming a semicircular passport, which can also be called a cage.

The sky suddenly turned blood red, giving people a depressing and dull feeling, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, a viscous blood-like liquid seeped out between the chips on the top, and then more and more, fell straight into the air and then gathered and bent towards the center by itself, forming a large ball of blood, accompanied by lightning Can't stop wriggling.

This scene was so weird that someone couldn't bear to lower his voice and yelled out: "What the hell is this!" It contained depression and fear.

But some people were not very worried, thinking that this was a continuation of the celebration, and it seemed that fireworks would appear in the next second.

The change in the sky finally came to an end, and the blood mass turned into a huge figure in a red cloak and robe with golden patterns on it, but the place where the face should have been was hidden in a thick black mist.

It opened its hands and said the first sentence to the players on the square: "Everyone, welcome to my world."

As soon as these words came out, someone showed a puzzled expression, and some guesses arose in their hearts.

Chapter 36 The real way to play sao

The huge figure did not pause, "I am Akihiko Kayaba, and now I am the only human being who can control this world."

Then, amidst the gradually rising voices of discussion, he uttered a piece of news that made these players panic. In fact, there is no way to log out, which is the original gameplay of SAO. Beau also destroys the brain in an instant.

Asuna's pupils narrowed slightly, her voice trembling: "What does this mean?"

"What? Is this person joking? Really." Some people didn't believe it, thinking he was talking nonsense.

There are not a few people who hold this view, but when they find that there is no way to break through this shield, they start to commotion.However, Kayaba Akihiko presented evidence that they had no choice but to believe. Various news and reports about the death of SAO players appeared around him, and then flew towards the square. Almost everyone could see clearly that it was magnified many times. text, and the content above.

The fact that 213 people died filled them with panic, fear and anger.

"Also, from now on, all resurrection methods in the game will be invalid. When your HP is reset to zero, your own brain will also be destroyed by NERvGear at the same time." Akihiko Kayaba calmly said the news again, Black and purple mist began to escape from inside the cloak.

Like a stone falling into a lake, everyone's face became dignified and serious, and their hearts were extremely restless.

They watched the huge figure in midair silently, and no one said a word.

"The only condition for you to be liberated is to clear this game. Raid the labyrinth area on each floor, and you can enter the upper floor until you reach the last [-]-story boss, and you can pass the level."

Clear the customs and you can leave here!This sentence is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart, but there are also many people with ugly faces. Although they have never seen the difficulty of conquering each floor, they can imagine it.And the players during the beta test knew how difficult it was. Each floor required multiple attempts. Before, they could be revived, but now, if they die, they are really dead!

"In addition, there are gifts from me in everyone's inventory, please check." Akihiko Kayaba waved his hand lightly and said.

People have brought up the panel and checked the taskbar.Xie Chen didn't move, and a small mirror appeared in the hands of the people around, not knowing what Kayaba Akihiko meant.

But at this time, a panel automatically appeared in front of Xie Chen. Although the appearance was the same as the one in the game, it was actually his mission system.

Xie Chen was a little surprised, and quickly opened it, only to find that it was the main mission this time.

"Main task: conquer the [-]th floor of Aincrad and complete the level."
