Chapter 18 The Mystery of the Degree of Freedom of Skills
Kirito and Yuuki chatted very affectionately.
On the other side, Leafa was a little stunned: "I...I have never seen such an enthusiastic brother. Is Kirito my brother? Even though he is just talking about games, it makes me feel jealous?"
She originally thought that Kirito running over there was because he had mentioned something heavy about Yuuki before, and maybe it was also a part of easing the atmosphere, but wasn't the momentum of increasing feelings too strong?
"Ah, Tongzai didn't think it would be like this." Argo said with a very interesting look, "After all, I can take Asuna back to the dormitory to take a shower while you are away."
Although they didn't know what Asuna did afterward, and Kirito seemed to have lost that memory, the fact that he jumped out of the room window after breaking out of the gang and rode on the NPC's donkey and ran wildly into the wild was still fresh in a few people's minds.
.
"Argo, are you okay? If the information about the beard is spread..."
"It doesn't matter, I didn't plan to sell that information in the first place, and it will be Tongzai who will be resented by the time." Argo looked like a fellow Taoist who is immortal and poor, "How about it? Asuna is the first one.
Counting the number of female NPCs I have met, you will have no chance if you continue like this. Tongzai, a slow-witted person with no self-awareness, is very lethal."
"Ah? Eh? Argo, what are you talking about?"
However, Argo believed that Kirito could not defeat him in battle, and looked at them with great pleasure.
After all, their methods of challenging the shop owner to obtain the qualifications to practice magic are completely different and not universal at all.
In the end, Kirito gave up and made a deal.
So Argo "ignored the past grievances" and sent Kirito a message.
Kirito read it in his chat window and almost vomited blood before he understood it.
As a result, what Argo described was that she got the equipment for paddling one day, but when she was preparing to cross the river, she forgot to put it in the equipment slot and fell into the water. At that time, she used the skill [Speed] to forcefully rush out of the water and return to the river.
On the shore, I accidentally ran a few steps on the water in a very mysterious way. As long as you can notice the difference between the current version of the skill and the closed beta period, you will find that the original pose is to use the skill.
After activation, the body will be forced to perform actions by the system. Those lights are just special effects, and the judgment is only a point or a line, but now the light area is all judgment, and the area of influence can be concentrated.
Since using [Speed] to concentrate on walking on water while pedaling, Argo wondered if this change method would be the same system as the shop owner's change of flame form, at least very similar. As a result, after practicing to improve his proficiency, he successfully made it.
The shop owner was caught off guard.
The reason why it was not included in the distributed strategy book together with other information on common skills is because Argo had the experience of almost drowning - the methods currently known are all based on feelings and sudden outbursts of urgency, which are too vague for ordinary people.
The attempt was successful, but the possibility of losing the chain due to tension in front of the enemy is still high. Will we settle the score with her then?
Her success was not entirely due to motivation. Not only did all her upgrade points add to her AGI value, but she also reacted very quickly after falling into the water. In order to prevent the equipment from gaining weight and absorbing water, which would further increase its weight and accelerate the sinking to the bottom, she instantly removed all the equipment on her body -
—Including the innermost layer, which is comfortable to wear but also the most absorbent. I was lucky not to encounter other players when I rushed out of the water.
My willingness to sell to Kirito is based on my complete trust in Kirito's skills.
Kirito considered a practical problem. If the freedom of skills reaches this level, and NPCs with AI levels that are no different from living people, how can the memory of the game console be tolerated? Although it is not that there are no such advanced computers in the world,
——
SAO was originally a game developed by an ordinary game company and other private cooperation units. Thinking of the fact that people from the military were also trapped in droves, even if they considered cooperating with state agencies, how could this setting of turning into a death game not be advanced in advance?
Aware?
Kirito shook his head and shook away these thoughts. Those were things that only adults could consider, and they were too far away from what he could do.
"Brother, what is Argo showing you? His face is so ugly." Leafa came over and asked.
"Um... I will explain it after this mission is over. Now let's focus on the matter in front of us."
Leafa thought the same thing. There must be a reason why her brother didn't want to say anything now, and why Argo sent a private message without speaking. Indeed, it was not good to be distracted during the task. But she had to ask clearly after she decided to avoid being sloppy.
, the worst case scenario is to bring Asuna along to extract a confession.
With these things in mind, she spent the rest of the journey in silence.
But there is not much free time left.
"The monster has appeared!" A moment later, Akanali suddenly shouted, and the magic was first discovered.
The others looked around warily, and Kirito's skill [Seek Enemy] began to react. He drew his sword in advance, and took out two steel nails similar to Senbon with his other hand.
"At three o'clock! Be careful not to use sword skills that move your feet easily. Use throwing weapons and long-range skills to attack the wings first!"
After he said that, he shot the steel spike in his hand towards the oncoming giant bee.
There were two "Puff" sounds, and a hit-detection light effect appeared at the root of one wing of the two giant wasps. The light effect penetrated the wings, causing the wings to break.
The giant bee that lost its wings lost its "buzzing" sound. Although the HP gauge was reduced slightly, it fell down and the impact with the ground caused the HP to return to zero on the spot.
This is even more difficult to achieve during the closed beta period. Limb breakage is also a negative status grant, and the judgment is quite harsh. Sometimes the weapon completely penetrates the target, even leaving a trace of connection, or hits a target without residual limb modeling.
In some cases, only one damage judgment will be left, and there will be almost no terrain killing.
Now that these damages are available, the experience points will not be reduced by relying on terrain killing to destroy monsters.
However, what made Kirito feel that he could not lead his teammates was that except for Argo who threw darts to knock down other insects, none of the remaining people had flying props or throwing skills. They all set up their weapons and waited for the insect swarm to approach.
"Lefa, come close to me! Everyone, form a team of two and alternately use sword skills! Although this kind of insect is difficult to fly and attack, it has very little HP. At our current level, we can kill it instantly with sword skills!"
The insect swarm quickly approached and rushed into the crowd.
Kirito leaned slightly, and the sword blade bursting with blue light instantly slashed out four sword beams around him. The four-stroke all-round continuous sword skill [Horizontal Square Slash] cut the six-body bug into two pieces with one sword.
It is quite efficient to clear out mobs when surrounded, but the problem lies in the stiffness caused by this high-power, wide-area sword skill.
