"...Even if there is no pressure to clear the death game, the determination and belief of the players to conquer the game should not be underestimated." Kirito, who was drinking a glass of fruit wine like Chen Mo, looked at the lively players around the hotel , couldn't help sighing.
It has only been a few months since the new ALO was opened to ordinary players, but the player's level of attacking the floating city of Aincrad has reached the 27th floor, and this speed has almost caught up with the previous attacking group .
After sighing, Kirito suddenly turned his gaze to Chen Mo who didn't say a word, and asked: "Speaking of which, teacher, your base seems to be on this floor, right? It wasn't until you met Yuna..."
"Kirito!" Hearing Kirito mention Yuna, Asuna who was sitting next to him immediately bumped his elbow with his elbow.
"Uh……"
He was interrupted by Asuna in the middle of the conversation, and then Kirito realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said. He looked around, except for Shino Asada who had a puzzled face, Lisbeth and Silica both Staring at him with an expression of "you're such an idiot", even Lyfa shook her head and sighed, her eyes seemed to say how could I have such an idiot brother like you who doesn't know how to read the atmosphere.
"Okay, okay...don't stare at Kirito, I'm not as fragile as you think."
Putting down the wooden wine glass, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, looked through the noisy players around him, and looked at the blue and high sky outside the hotel, with a vague look of nostalgia in his eyes.
He was also sitting in this hotel back then, and Yuna was sitting next to him at that time, and the surrounding area was far less lively than it is now. After all, the 24th floor is already considered the middle floor, and most players of life professions are unwilling to come to this kind of place.
After a lapse of a year, he sat here again. There were friends beside him, and many players gathered in the hotel to discuss various things with great interest. However, this time, the only person who was with him People who have sat here.
Una...
Seeing Chen Mo's silence, the others around the dining table were a little speechless. In the end, Asada Shino, who was completely unaware of the situation, broke the silence.
"Mr. Chen Mo, have you seen a middle school boy wearing a yellow jumper near my house recently?"
"Yellow jumper?"
Slightly taken aback, Chen Mo immediately shook his head and said, "This dress taste is quite bad, I have never seen it before."
"Is that so..." Asada Shino had a slightly disappointed expression upon hearing Chen Mo say that he had never seen it before.
"Why, is this person important to you?"
"Eh?"
Turning his head, meeting Chen Mo's interested gaze, thinking about Tian Shino, shaking his head slightly, "It's not very important, it's just...he was a friend I knew before, and the only friends around me at that time were He is alone, so I am very grateful to him for being able to accompany me when I am most isolated, but..."
"but?"
"However, he has disappeared in recent months. He doesn't come to school, and his family can't find him... So, I'm worried that something happened to him."
"So that's the case, I understand." With a clear expression, Chen Mo nodded and said: "If I see someone similar, I will definitely pay attention to you. By the way, what is the name of the boy you mentioned? what?"
"Xinchuan, Xinchuan Kyouji."
"Xinchuan Kyouji-kun, I remember."
Patting his chest with a reliable face, Chen Mo continued to comfort him: "But Shino, you don't have to worry too much. Maybe your friend, Mr. Xinchuan, just encountered troubles, so he traveled to other places to relax?"
"hope so……"
Although she didn't really believe what Chen Mo said, Chao Tian Shino still squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you, Teacher Chen Mo, thank you."
"Haha, you're welcome."
Chen Mo laughed twice, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Shinkawa Kyouji, this guy did go on a trip, but the place he went was a little far away, called Santu.
A few months ago, he personally sent Mr. Xinchuan on the road.
……
Time passed while chatting, and at nine o'clock in the evening outside the game, the number of online players in ALO reached its peak, and the Far Traveler Hotel was almost full of players.
"Hey, big news! Big news!"
While the players in the hotel were chatting enthusiastically, a wind elf man in cloth armor rushed into the gate, shouting while running: "Someone set up a game on the tourist island in the north, and the bet is a one-handed game." An original high-level combo sword skill widely used by swords!"
Original Sword Skills - As a skill judgment system inherited from SAO, players can develop new advanced sword skills by themselves by constantly trying combinations of various basic sword skills, which is the so-called [Original Sword Skill]. However, this kind of sword skill has a deep requirement for the player's own understanding of the sword, so even today, several months have passed since the new ALO server was launched, except for the illusory urban rumors, the original sword skills that do exist in the entire game are still There are only a handful of them, so when the wind elf man mentioned the original sword skills, the eyes of almost all the players in the hotel were attracted, and the lively chatting voices suddenly fell silent.
The silence lasted only for a short moment, and then it was overwhelmed by the overwhelming voices of inquiries.
"Original sword skills? Common one-handed swords? What's the name?"
"You guys are not lying!"
"How many combos, how many combos does that sword skill have?"
"What kind of gamble, can we also participate?"
"..."
The voices of countless inquiries made the wind elf man a little confused for a while, but then, after he realized it, he immediately raised his hands and pressed down, and howled at the top of his voice: "Everyone! Stop arguing! Listen to me first!"
The man's loud howls temporarily stopped the enthusiasm of the players in the hotel, and when the surroundings became quieter, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The game was set up by a person nicknamed Jue Jian, as long as someone goes to Challenge, no matter who she is, she will accept the challenge, if the opponent wins, she will get her original sword skill, Original Sword Skill, a total of eleven hits in a row, super strong! It can be said to be a skill of the nirvana level!"
"what?!"
"Eleven combo!"
"So strong?!"
Seeing the excitement of the players in the hotel, the wind elf man continued: "Everyone, don't get excited, although this sword skill is good, but not everyone is destined to get it! Now 27 players have been defeated by Absolute Sword , if you want sword skills, you have to weigh your own strength!"
The man's words made some players in the hotel calm down a bit, but more players seemed to have been ignited with powder kegs, shouting with red eyes that they would immediately challenge this absolute sword and prove their strength.
Since ancient times, there is no one in literature and no one in martial arts. Although it is just playing games, no one is willing to admit that he is weaker than others, unless he has really fought once.
