best villain

Humans are social creatures.

The reason for this conclusion is that most people are afraid in their hearts.

Fear of being excluded from the mainstream, fear of being looked at with strong hostility, fear of becoming a joke that others talk about endlessly.

So I tried every means to integrate into the group in a natural and familiar way, becoming one of the inconspicuous ones, so as to gain that small sense of security.

But few people are aware of a truth: those who are good at water often drown in water, and those who are good at planning are easy to die in schemes.

It is useless to deliberately package yourself as ordinary. A true genius will show a different side sooner or later, and then become the target of envy, envy, and rejection by others.

This is the tragedy of genius.

Ling Yi used to be one of the geniuses, so he knows very well that it is unrealistic to deliberately integrate into the group.

So from the beginning, he didn't intend to form a team with others.Even if Mission [-] is over, there is no need to deliberately assassinate him, but he is used to living alone, and if he forms a team with others, it may cause a lot of trouble.

Of course, the biggest reason why Ling Yi made up his mind to go alone was the beauty. If she didn't provide the equipment, it would probably take a lot of brain cells.

The same is true during the beta test period. Even if you have a certain amount of combat experience, it is still a bit difficult to deal with the boss, especially when the stat gap between the two sides is too large, you can only use the number of deaths to find out the skills and weaknesses of the boss, and the efficiency of going back and forth is greatly reduced. A lot, and it takes a lot of energy.

If he spends more time on collecting equipment, then Ling Yi will never even think about completing the task.

The brilliant blue light flashed away, like the light of a knife.

The blade that was less than palm width quickly cut into the head of a wild boar. The angle and timing of the blade were extremely ingenious. The wild boar just launched an attack, only to find that the target suddenly disappeared. The sword man took advantage of this specially created opportunity to behead the wild boar.

From the damage value soared to hundreds in an instant, the wild boar's blood volume suddenly cleared, and the process only took a second.

It may not be a gorgeous sword skill, but it can be seen that the sword bearer has a very clever and accurate grasp of the timing, just like an excellent sniper who snipe a target thousands of meters away, they know when to pull the trigger.

Ling Yi picked up the Cole (virtual currency) and some prop materials from Wild Boar Explosion, and secretly calculated the time in his mind. He reached the third level in less than ten hours.

But this is also a matter of course. With the experience of the beta test period, it would be ironic if the upgrade still lags behind others.

The vast grasslands that spread in all directions shone brightly under the sunlight that was beginning to blush.In the far north loomed the outlines of forests, and in the south the shimmering surface of a lake.To the east, the walls of the town can be seen slightly, while to the west is the infinite sky and golden clouds.

Currently, he is located at the starting point at the southern end of the first floor of the huge floating castle 'Aincrad', in the wide area on the west side of the 'Starting Town'.There should be a lot of players around him fighting monsters like him, but because the space is too wide, no one else can be seen in the field of vision.

Just when Ling Yi was considering whether to enter a higher level training area, it sounded like a bell—or like an alarm, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and a strong premonition surged in his heart.

I can't say whether it's good or bad, but in short, something troublesome is about to happen.

Ling Yi's premonition came true, and the next moment his body was wrapped in a blue beam of light.Looking out through this layer of blue film, I can only see the scenery of the grassland gradually fading away.

Ling Yi also experienced this phenomenon several times during the beta test.This is the 'transfer' after using the Field Move prop.But he is not holding the props now, nor is he uttering the command.Even if it was the official company's own transfer, why didn't there be any announcement?

Thinking of this, the light around his body became more intense, making it impossible for Ling Yi to see anything.Soon, the blue light gradually faded, and the surrounding scenery could be seen again.

But it is no longer in the grassland under the setting sun.

What can be seen now is a vast slab of ground, surrounded by street trees, and chic medieval streets.In the distance ahead, there is another huge palace emitting black light.

There is no doubt that this is where the game starts—the central square of the starting town.

Ling Yi frowned and looked at the crowded crowd. This was obviously not because of the popularity of the game, but because it deliberately gathered everyone together.

"System Wizard."

"Huh? Is there any problem with the host?

"My body in the real world is not affected by the game, is that right?"

"Theoretically so."

"...Really?" Receiving the answer from the system wizard, Ling Yi silently swiped his finger into the air, which is the action of calling out the game's main screen window.I saw a rectangle emitting purple light, which immediately appeared together with a bell-like sound effect.

In the slender rectangular window in the initial state, there will be several menu labels on the left, and a humanoid silhouette showing the status of your props and equipment on the right.And at the bottom of this menu, there should be a ''—that is, a button to leave this world.

Ling Yi directly cast his gaze to the bottom of the window, looking for the button of 'leave', but...

"—Is that really the case? System, you already know about this, right?" Ling Yi stared at the blank space for a long time, and said with a long breath.

"Yes, this is part of the plot. Although the host knows nothing about the plot, the system has no obligation to remind, because this is also part of the trial, and it is the most important part." The system elf did not mean to apologize, but calmly admitted.

But this made Ling Yi heave a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the plot would go berserk because of himself. In that case, let alone not knowing the plot, even knowing the plot would be useless.

As long as the plot remains unchanged, he will have the opportunity to slowly adapt to the rhythm of the plot and find the right opportunity to take the lead in his hands. This is the only way when the plot is unknown.

Ling Yi didn't have the heart to complain to the system elf, grasping the current situation was the most important thing right now.

Although he was standing in the crowd, he looked like an outsider. Not only did he not panic at all, nor was he anxious or angry, he just calmly took everyone's performance into his eyes.

I calculated it in my heart, and the number of people was at least several thousand—it should be said to be nearly 1.All the players in the current game may have been forcibly transferred to this plaza.

In this way - the initiator is about to appear.

Suddenly....

Someone exclaimed: "Ah...look at the top!"

Ling Yi reflexively looked at the sky.

One hundred meters above, that is, the bottom of the second floor, was dyed with a bright red checkerboard-like pattern.

If you take a closer look, you can find that the pattern is formed by the alternating arrangement of two English words.As for the two words written in bright red fonts, they are 【】.

The red pattern covering the entire sky, its central part is like a large drop of rather thick blood, slowly dripping downward.But these blood condensed into a giant who was nearly twenty meters tall and wore a crimson cloak in mid-air.

The long cloak swings without wind, giving people a feeling of emptiness.Even though he was looking up from below, he couldn't see the face inside the cloak clearly, only a hazy darkness.

Ling Yi had seen such a cloak before.However, it is completely different from the white-bearded grandfather and the woman wearing glasses in his impression. Instead, it exudes a strange aura that does not resemble human beings. If we want to say similarities, I am afraid that only ghosts are more suitable.

Voices of doubt can also be heard from the discussions of the surrounding players.

At this time, the right sleeve of the cloak suddenly lifted up.

Pure white gloves can be seen beneath the empty cuffs.But the sleeve and the glove are not connected, and the wrist and forearm are completely invisible

The left sleeve was also raised, and above the heads of [-] players, they opened their arms as if embracing the entire world.

A deep and clear voice came from far above.

"Players, welcome to my world."

"My name is Kayaba Akihiko. I'm the only one who can control this world right now."

☆

Although this is a game, it is not a joke.

From Kayaba Akihiko's 5-minute death announcement, I am afraid that only Ling Yi can truly understand the meaning of this sentence.

What kind of thoughts did he have imprisoned tens of thousands of people.

Ling Yi couldn't figure it out.

To be precise, he didn't want to know.

It is enough for him to know one thing.

That was the second task issued by the system - to break through this hundred-story steel castle, and to leave this world gracefully with the title of winner.

But Akihiko Kayaba did a great job.

If you die here, the real body will also directly burn its brain due to the electromagnetic waves emitted by the virtual helmet.

In order to convince everyone, Kayaba Akihiko presented real-life news reports, which clearly stated that hundreds of players had died, and the death toll was still increasing.

Fortunately, he has issued a notice, which should dispel the impulsive actions of some relatives of the players.

Ling Yi suddenly thought, if he knew that he was trapped in the game world, how would Suguha react?

Probably very anxious, nervous, and even tears are possible.

Thinking of this, Ling Yi couldn't help but smile knowingly, with an inexplicably warm feeling in his heart.

But he couldn't laugh right away because...he was just a fake.

But even so, he also felt that it was necessary to attack this game as soon as possible.It is also a failure to make a girl who cares about her cry.

Except for Ling Yi, every player has a heavy stone in their hearts. Even if their lives are not in danger for the time being, it is not an easy task to conquer this hundred-story castle. Who knows if they can reach the top.

After all, if you die here, you will die in reality.Not everyone is as confident as Ling Yi.

By the way, Kayaba Akihiko gave each player a small gift for some reason.

A prop mirror that can reflect the face and appearance of the real body and reproduce it.

Thousands of players used it without knowing it, and for a while, colorful lights flickered everywhere in the square.On the other hand, Ling Yi set his own appearance from the beginning, so it didn't change at all.

She has short black hair, straight and delicate features, and calm eyes full of reason. The figure of 1.7 meters eight is neither fat nor thin. It can only be said to be very well-proportioned, which is very suitable for an agile fighter.

A young man who looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, but has a maturity that even adults can't match - this is the first impression that everyone who knows Ling Yi has.

Putting these aside, after saying these words, the cloaked man in the form of Akihiko Kayaba disappeared.

After a while, there was a commotion in the central square. Some people didn't believe it was an official setting, while others firmly believed that Kayaba Akihiko would be arrested and brought to justice soon.

Among them, many people began to think for themselves.

Ling Yi left the square without even thinking about it. With his analytical ability, he couldn't see the current situation clearly.

Under the threat of death, the potential competitiveness is no different from the reality, and no player is willing to be abandoned on the way to escape.

And those quests and spawn points became resources that must be fought for.

Ling Yi has set his goal from the very beginning, and his steps are full of unwavering belief that he will become stronger than anyone else.

Then, break the game.

— with your own hands.

(As for the reminder, I can only say that I will try my best to honor it. But there is no way if there are too many, unless I have a holiday, I can work a little harder, but I am busy with exams in the afternoon, so the update is a bit late, really I'm sorry. I won't gossip. As for the development of the plot, I plan to take a semi-original route. Except for some major events, there will be basically no plots that Kirito has gone through.

Finally, I would like to thank the two book friends Jesse and Linglingtang for their rewards. I don’t feel like saying too much thanks to the old buddy who is the number one in the reward list, ahaha.And for the Linglingtang book friends who rewarded this book for the first time, I will definitely keep it in my heart, and I hope you can continue to reward...)
