Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

"What do you think I've been doing these past few days?" The system said that it's rare and strange. "Rules, if you think about it, you can always find a way to get around it. But, that's all, I can only fight with you Little monsters, BOSS or something, please solve it yourself."

So, for the first time in history, Yi Guang actually fought side by side with his own system.However, for some unknown reason, the system seemed to dislike Kirito so much that Kirito felt that the system was full of malice towards him.In addition, Kirito seems to have mistaken the system for Yiguang's girlfriend, so he took this malice as resentment against the light bulb for granted, and then this very smart guy left Yiguang's team very wisely. Returned to the lone wolf state of leveling.

"Please don't care about that guy's attitude, she is crazy." Faced with Kirito's complaint, Yi Guang said expressionlessly, and then decisively changed the subject, "So, what is the matter you came to see me today? "

"Of course there is. I don't know if you've heard that the room of the main boss on the first floor has been found." Kirito's face turned serious, and he began to talk to Yi Guang about the matter, "Therefore, some players are trying to gather troops and try to attack a team. The first floor is the main boss."

"Is that so?" Yi Guang nodded, "It's just that, with the current level of players, it's not easy to attack the floor master on the first floor, right?"

"It's hard to say, after all, the level of our top players is already around Lv.17." Kirito pondered, "There may be no chance of winning against the Lv.19 floor boss, right?"

"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic. Of course, it's not about the boss itself, but the future." Yi Guang shook his head, "Don't forget, Lv.20 is a watershed, whether the 'module enhancement' is enabled or not, In essence, it determines whether a player is strong or not, and you who participated in the closed beta should understand this truth better than me, right?"

"You mean, the boss strategy is not difficult, but when you go to the second floor, there will be a heavy casualty?" Kirito also frowned, "Indeed, because the recommended level of the second floor is Lv.20, because the module function Turn it on, so there will be a considerable increase in the strength of the monsters..."

"That's it. With the current player level, the boss strategy itself is not a problem. We don't need to worry about it. What we are afraid of is that a group of people will rush to the second floor without knowing their lives." Yi Guang said nonchalantly, "This is probably also the design of this game. That person deliberately set a trap, after all, it is human nature to be greedy for success. However, people who will be dazzled by victory will lose their lives sooner or later because of their own stupidity, this is not something we can stop."

"Even if this is the case, let's try our best." Although Kirito knew that what Yi Guang said was true, he still felt that something should be done. "Then Lanza, are you going to participate in this strategy meeting?"

"Of course, even if we know that someone is going to be stupid, we have to try our best to remind them." Yi Guang nodded, "Whether others listen or not is their business, and whether they do it or not is our own business."

Chapter 408 The Gradually Evolving World

"So, are you planning to go to the 'Strategy Meeting' with that guy?"

Kirito seemed to have something else to deal with, so he didn't chat with Yi Guang for too long, and left after notifying the time and place of the "Strategy Meeting".After Kirito left, the system appeared out of nowhere, and asked Yi Guang.

"What's wrong? Although there may be guys like Kibao who are blinded by selfish desires, at least most of them are people with lofty ideals who are fighting for the strategy." Yi Guang looked at this guy with some confusion, " Since everyone has the same goal, it’s okay to participate, after all, under the current circumstances, it’s unrealistic for a single player to defeat the boss.”

"No, I just think that you have reached Lv.19 now, and you can turn on the 'module enhancement' if you are one level short. At that time, it is not too late to talk about other things. You who can use part of your divine power must be more powerful than you. Now you can play a greater role." The system opened the light curtain in front of him, and it displayed rows of data, "It's only 5.00% of the experience, and it will be upgraded almost tomorrow."

"So, you want me to give up the first level of BOSS and continue to focus on leveling up?" Yi Guang nodded, "I actually think so too, but it doesn't conflict with my action of going to the 'Strategy Conference'. Mainly Yes, Kirito has a good relationship with us, since he invited us to go with him, let's go and have a look."

"You still value that kid because he is the protagonist?" The system gave Yi Guang a sideways glance.

"It has nothing to do with the protagonist, I just think this kid is pretty good." Yi Guang waved his hand, "Although this is a deadly game, since it's a game, how can we not make some friends?"

"Well, this is your freedom, I don't care about it." The system shrugged, and then changed the subject, "But I need to tell you something, I recently made a new discovery."

"New discovery?" Yi Guang frowned, every time the system said this word, it seemed that there was nothing good about it.This made Yi Guang somewhat allergic to this word, "What's wrong?"

"You also know that although I have always maintained this appearance, it is just an interface I created following the rules of this world." The system organized the language a little bit, "My body has been sneaking into the bottom of this world all the time , monitoring its data changes."

"Then what? Is there a problem with these data?" Yi Guang asked with some doubts.

"Yes, as time goes by, in this world made up of data, its underlying data calculations are getting bigger and bigger, and the rules are also being updated at an extraordinary frequency." The system said with a serious face.

"The world is constantly growing, isn't this something we expected from the beginning?" Yi Guang showed an "expected" expression, "Why do you seem surprised?"

"This world is constantly growing by itself. This is indeed what we expected from the beginning, but I never imagined that the growth rate of this world will be so amazing." The system's tone was a little startled, "One month's time , this game world has almost updated more than 70.00% of its data once, and the frequency and range of updates are getting faster and faster, and the variable data is gradually increasing."

"Then it seems that Mr. Tan Lidou is really diligent." Yi Guang looked at the system and nodded, "Updated 70.00% of the game data within a month, he is a conscientious programmer."

"Don't make trouble, I'm talking about business, do you know what this means?" The system said angrily, "Three things, first, the MPC and monster intelligence of this game are constantly improving, this is what we expected a long time ago ;Second, the difficulty of this game will become more and more difficult as time goes by, even if it is the same dungeon or task, the difficulty will also change significantly; Third, the game experience is becoming more and more difficult. Unreliable."

"You mean, as the game continues to update itself, there will be various random combinations in the game?"

Yi Guang somewhat understands the meaning of the system. The data updates are getting faster and faster, and the calculation rules are getting more and more complicated. This not only means that the intelligence of monsters and bosses will become higher and higher, but also means that various accidents/events will gradually appear. In the NPC or BOSS interaction of the game.Because these BOSS no longer act according to the simplest logical instructions. As the world absorbs the data of the players' emotions and behavior patterns and continues to grow, the behavior logic of the NPCs, monsters, and BOSS born in this world are also growing. It will become more and more advanced and full of variables.Even in the end, they will give birth to their own independent wisdom.

"Not only that, I have no doubt that Tan Lidou will gradually cultivate the bosses in the entire game into independent individuals with wisdom." The system said his own thoughts, "Or that is his ultimate goal , I suspect that he hopes to use his own ability to cultivate a native life like Bugster that relies on the data world."

Yes, although Tan Lidou's power and technology come from Bugster, he only reverse engineered this kind of virus that humans cannot understand and was born in the computer world through the occasional Bugster virus samples.Even if Tan Rito relied on his own talents, by cracking this unknown life form, he completed the entire "Kamen Rider" system against Bugster with "player driver" as the core, and even at the later stage of the plot of "Kamen Rider Exaid" he Transformed himself from a human to a Bugster, but he still couldn't solve the final puzzle.

How did the bugster come about?As computer data, how do they have their own independent intelligence, and even have entities, which can interfere with the real world.

"The origin of Bugsters, the essence of Bugsters, is an area that Dan Lidou cannot touch." The system expressed its own judgment to Yi Guang, "The technology and power currently possessed by Dan Lidou all depend on the understanding of the Bugster virus." The cracking of it is like reverse engineering, analyzing and imitating from the existing results, and then transforming. Through this behavior, Tan Lidou has obtained power that ordinary people can't imagine."

"But obviously, he is not satisfied with this now." Yi Guang pondered, "He wants to completely decipher everything about that virus, he wants to trace the source... and even grasp this data life form from the source. "

"Yes, just like life on Earth started from single-celled organisms and evolved into the entire ecosystem. Bugsters also have various forms, and the Bugster virus..." The system nodded, "Then It is equivalent to the "primitive single-celled organisms" that appeared in the computer world, which is the basis and origin of the entire Bugster system. However, the biggest problem with Bugsters is that they cannot complete the transition from viruses to mature intelligent organisms out of thin air. To evolve, they must first parasitize from viruses, seize human bodies, and then develop into mature bodies of various shapes."

"And if Tan Lidou can take advantage of this world and the technology he has mastered to transform the boss composed of ordinary game data into a mature bugster body, instead of resorting to the means of infecting and seizing human bodies." Yi Guang is also very excited. Quickly understand the meaning of the system, "Bugster can freely evolve and reproduce in this data world, and evolve into a complete biological chain by absorbing the information of human beings on the network data. After completing all this, the master Dan Lidou, who is in charge of this Bugster world, is equivalent to the... God of this world."

"That's right, to become God is Tan Lidou's ambition. Therefore, this world will inevitably continue to evolve rapidly, and until the end, everything in this game world will be the same as the real magical world." The system nodded, "At that time, what players need to face is not the mechanical boss that follows simple logic to attack."

Yes, at that time, what players will have to face will be monsters with complete intelligence and behaviors that are no different from real beasts.It may even be a "human from another world" with intelligence similar to that of human beings, with its own will and three views.

At that time, how difficult will the difficulty of this game be?Yi Guang feels his ass hurt just thinking about it now.The difficulty of this game is already very high now, close to 2000 people died in the first month, even now that everyone has gradually gotten used to this world, the number of player deaths is increasing every day.Continue to increase the difficulty?Well, sure enough, Mr. Tan Lidou deliberately added the premise of "if no one clears the level or everyone gives up".

We have fixed the BUG that players can pass the level.JPG

"Although the hard work and talent of the players cannot be denied, judging from the current situation, under the malice of Tan Lidou, it is very difficult for them to get through this game alone." The system looked at Yi Guang, and then patted His shoulder, "Only you, you are the only variable that Tan Lidou cannot grasp, your strength does not come from the game itself, but from your cracking of the game. So, your upgrade progress in this game It is very important, the more powerful the divine power module you can use, and the closer it is to your body, the greater your chance of defeating Tan Lidou."

However, you haven't even come to Lv.20 to enable the module loading function, why are you mixing in the so-called "strategy meeting" of those players... Yi Guang also heard the system's undertones.

"No delay, no delay." Yi Guang waved his hand, "The strategy meeting is at 20 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and now we still have nearly twenty hours. If I find a place to brush up my experience all night, I will definitely be able to do so in the 'Strategy Complete Lv.[-] before the meeting'."

"You are really confident..." the system sighed, "I originally meant to let you get rid of useless things and practice leveling at ease, but it turned out that you had to work overtime."

"It's okay, I've gotten used to it recently." Yi Guang waved his hand, and then summoned the map, "Let me see, which dungeon is more efficient...Hmm? What's wrong with you?"

When Yi Guang was looking at the map, he found that the system was slightly unhappy.

"It's nothing, it's just that you have to download the copy and go by yourself. I'm a little tired and need to take a rest." Then, the system walked towards the hotel, "Lack of sleep is the enemy of women."

Don't make trouble, you are just a bunch of data, where is the lack of sleep?You just said that your body is just an interface.

Yi Guang watched the system disappear around the corner of the street, shook his head with some pain, then continued to study the map and choose a suitable dungeon for leveling up.

409 Advice

The first floor BOSS strategy meeting is considered a relatively important time node in the original book.It was at this meeting that Kirito met the most important person in his life for the first time, who is also the undisputed heroine "Asuna" of the "Sword Art Online" series.At the same time, because of the conflict with the adventurer named "King Kiba", Kirito bears the title of "Fraud Sealer" and completely embarks on the road of lone wolf strategy.From two points of view, this strategy meeting has extraordinary significance for Kirito himself and the development of the entire plot.

But to be honest, now that the entire game has been magically modified, it is a question of whether what happened in the original book will still happen.For example, Kirito and Asuna, whether these two people will meet, know each other, and love each other has become an unknown until now.After all, the environment of the original "Sword Art Online" is completely closed, and [-] players form a social system that is completely independent from the outside world.The identity, background, and interpersonal relationship in the real world completely lose their meaning in the game.Therefore, Kirito and Asuna, two young men and women from different classes, can come together and develop a very strong relationship.

But now, because of Tan Lidou's plan, the game world still maintains a certain degree of contact with the outside world. Newcomers are constantly pouring in from the real world, and there have been a large number of family reunions in the game.In this case, whether Asuna and Kirito will develop a relationship according to the original plot is really hard to say... Before participating in this strategy meeting, Yi Guang had such a feeling in his heart. of ideas.

"Should I say that the inertia of the plot is really strong? Or should I say that Asuna's family is really a little unreasonable..."

However, when Yi Guang came to the scene of the "Strategy Conference" and saw Kirito and the lone girl with a hood next to him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.His adventures in several worlds have proved that the so-called "plot inertia" does exist. This is probably equivalent to the "convergence of the world line" mentioned in a certain stone gate. No matter how other plots change, Some things are bound to happen.

The so-called "a son of a thousand gold can't live in the house", Asuna's family is extraordinary, and her parents and elder brothers are also celebrities. Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to go through dangerous situations for their daughter without saying a word.The relatively isolated environment of the game world from the outside world also made it difficult for them to find someone worthy of entrustment to rescue and take care of Asuna.Therefore, even if they were anxious, it was impossible to come to this place to interfere with Asuna's behavior in a short time.

It's not that Yi Guang can't understand this, it's better to say that this is what suits their identities.Without the interference of external variables,

"Lanza, this way, this way."

And Kirito, who was completely unaware of what was going on in Yiguang's mind, saw Yiguang coming to the venue, and very happily called him over to sit down.However, when Kirito saw the system beside Yi Guang, he subconsciously moved to the other side.

"Ms. Musashi, hello... are you here too?"

Because the appearance used by the system is based on "Heroic Spirit·Miyamoto Musashi", in line with the principle of "do the first day of junior high school, let's do the fifteenth together", the system simply set its own game ID to "Musashi (Musashi) ".Although this was met with strong contempt and complaints from Yi Guang, at least the system has an official status to the outside world.

"What's wrong? Can't I come?" The system looked straight at Kirito, with an unfriendly gleam in his eyes.

"Uh, no, no." Kirito waved his hand hastily, "Miss Musashi is as her name suggests, with extraordinary strength, and it's only natural that she should come to participate in such a big event as the strategy meeting."

Kirito's feelings for this "Ms. Musashi" are more complicated. On the one hand, as I said before, because the system somehow doesn't treat Kirito very well, Kirito has a bit of a psychological shadow on the system.But on the other hand, for Kirito, the system is as accustomed to using one-handed swords as he is, but his skills are much better than his swordsmanship, who has been neglected for many years and a half.Kirito is not stupid, of course he knows that he has met an expert, and Kirito, who is quite self-motivated, will often send challenges to the system.Although it will be repaired by the system, but after such a period of time, Kirito's originally wasted swordsmanship has been recovered by sevens and eights.

For Kirito, this "Miss Musashi" can also be regarded as half of his teacher... At least he thinks so.

"This is..." Yi Guang pulled the system and sat down next to Kirito, then looked at Asuna on the other side and asked, "Is your friend?"

Although it was determined that it was Asuna through the plot prophet and the system to find out the ID, but you can't just say the name of the other party without a reason. This kind of behavior can easily make people suspicious.Therefore, Yi Guang still acted like he didn't know anything, and raised this question seemingly casually.

"Ah no, it's just a temporary team together. Lanza, you guys are a little late. The initiator of the meeting just now asked everyone to form a team of six people, so that they can participate in the BOSS strategy." Kirito shook his head. , "Then, this...Miss Asuna seems to be alone. I think you have invited her to join the team before you came."

"Is that so? It's actually pretty good, isn't it?" Yi Guang nodded, "The standard is six people, and we only have three. Even if we add her, it's still not full. Well, please take care of me then. "

"...Please take care of me."

At the beginning of the game, Asuna's mentality was not as mature as later, and she was quite wary of everything in this world.At the same time, the growing environment where she was always cared for by her family also made her somewhat introverted.Facing Yi Guang's greeting, she was silent for a while before responding lukewarmly.At the same time, Kirito also sent an invitation to join the team to Yi Guang and the system, and then he was shocked by Yi Guang's level in the team formation interface.

"Lanza, you already..."

Kirito looked at the word "Lv.20" next to Yi Guang's name in disbelief, but he swallowed the words that came out of his mouth.Of course he knew that Yi Guang's level would scare people to death, and at the same time attract a lot of hatred.After all, in this meeting place, there is a guy named "Koba" who is talking to the players in the entire arena, and is directly targeting the beta test players.And Yi Guang's level is even scarier than himself, a beta tester.

"How did you do it? Do you keep leveling and brushing the book day and night?" Kirito, who is currently Lv.17, twitched slightly, "But no matter how hard you try, there is always time to eat and sleep when necessary Right? Remove those hours, I think I've worked hard..."

In this regard, Yi Guang could only smile wordlessly: Sorry, those are not necessary for me, and the consumption of this battle is far from reaching the limit for me.

Asuna, who had just met them, also showed a look of astonishment, but it was not as exaggerated as Kirito.As the second batch of latecomers to join the leveling brigade, she didn't quite understand what Yi Guang's current level meant, but simply thought it was amazing.After all, she has just reached Lv.14 now, and in her eyes, there is no difference between Kirito and Yiguang, they are both seniors who entered the battle earlier than her and actively became stronger.She looked at the three people over there with admiration.At the same time, her eyes hidden under the hood also became more determined, and even shone with fanatical light.

"These are not important, Kirito." Yiguang patted Kirito's shoulder, "The important thing is that I have enabled that function now, so that I can maximize the simplicity of the boss strategy on the first floor."

"But if you use it publicly..." Kirito said worriedly.

"Is that different from now?" Yi Guang shrugged.

"Uh, it seems that there is really no..."

Kirito was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly.Ever since he got to know Yi Guang and the system, the two of them had almost been alone in a team. Even thinking about it carefully, the attitude of the system driving him away intentionally or unintentionally was interesting.Coupled with Yi Guang's completely unreasonable leveling speed, and the tiptoe skills that are not like ordinary fat house players, Kirito suddenly felt that there seemed to be some unusual secrets about the two people he knew in the game.

"Okay, don't think too much, the boss strategy is the most important thing." Yi Guang didn't care what Kirito was thinking, and continued to persuade, "It's not a good thing to entangle with other players too much. , especially when your strength differs too much from theirs. A strong person can make a team take off in an instant, but it may also make them blind, plus if you hide it because of the identity of the 'beta tester' At your own level, this blindness becomes arrogance."

"Lanza, you are..." For some reason, Kirito sensed a hint of ominousness from Yi Guang's words.

"It's nothing, it's just a piece of advice from me." Yi Guang waved his hand, "You are talented, and you will definitely become stronger in this game and become the group of people standing at the top, so There are some things I have to inoculate you in advance. Sometimes, the kindness of the strong will only lead to disasters, and you should think twice before doing anything."

After finishing speaking, Yi Guang didn't say much, just looked at the audience intently.At this time, the meeting was coming to an end, and the players who convened the meeting announced the time for the strategy after introducing the general situation of the boss.However, Kirito is still thinking about the meaning of Yi Guang's words. After all, there is a faint ominous atmosphere in these words, as if alluding to what tragic things will happen to Kirito because of teaming up with others in the future.

But until the end of the meeting, the players began to exit in twos and threes, and Yi Guang didn't say a word about it.In the end, as if nothing happened, he patted Kirito's shoulder with a smile, and beckoned him to leave.This naturalness that doesn't seem to be fake made Kirito wonder if he was being overwhelmed, maybe it was really just advice.This also made him more curious about Yi Guang's identity. This foreigner brother who looks almost as young as himself, sometimes looks like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes.This made Kirito wonder what this person has experienced.

And when Yiguang and Kirito were caught in a heavy conversation, the system changed seats at some point, and sat with Asuna.I have to say that it is easier to talk between women and women than between men and women. Compared with the original relationship between Asuna and Kirito in the original book, Asuna and the system are covered in a layer of girlish skin. Not long after I met the guy, I started chatting naturally.When the meeting ended, the two girls were already talking and laughing... no wonder.

Although Asuna didn't mind the system talking to her, she was obviously not interested in the various topics of the system.As a result, the system was in an awkward chat with her the whole time, until the four of them made an appointment to meet tomorrow and parted ways.

"Her mentality is a bit dangerous now." The system said to the two people beside him after the other party left, "That little girl named Asuna is indifferent to things other than strategy, whether it is between girls The topic, or the various experiences in the game... Except for the topic of missions and upgrades, which can make her respond sincerely, the others are just a polite response."

"Isn't it because your way of questioning makes people feel too disgusted?" Yi Guang rolled his eyes, "Can you really join the conversation between girls?"

"Don't doubt my ability. I am omnipotent except for my poor combat power." The system gave Yi Guang a vicious look, and then said, "Can I be wrong about people? And don't say You can't see it, your eyes shouldn't be blind, right?"

"The thirst for power..." Yi Guang said softly, "That look in his eyes is very familiar."

Yes, no matter for Yi Guang or Xie, the faint light in Asuna's eyes cannot be concealed.They have seen that look a lot in various worlds along the way.

In fact, this is indeed the case, although in terms of the time Asuna joined the battle, her current level is considered to be the best among the players in the same group as her.It's just that the heroine in the original book, who is shown in a gentle and virtuous image, is not in the correct state of mind at this stage as she was later.In particular, the delay in waiting for her family's rescue made her feel abandoned by the real world. This fear made her go to the other extreme after being negative-after she decided to leave the "town of beginnings", she I fell into a state of "bewilderment", and wanted to rely on my own strength to break through the game and return to the real world as soon as possible.

"Uh, what Lansa and Ms. Musashi mean is that the girl has fallen into some kind of bewilderment because she wants to clear the game too much?" Kirito probably understood a little while listening to the conversation between the two. In their words, "Mental illness?"
